Movie: The Lovely Bones

Caught this movie quite late last night because we didn't have anything better to do and boyfie was too tired to go drinking.

This movie gave me awful post-movie feelings T.T I was sad, disturbed and paranoid. Lol. Sorry, I have a weak heart. And that was too much of a thrill for me. T.T

But don't get me wrong. This was a pretty good movie. It's such a good thriller (thought it was supposed to be a drama) that it got me all nerved up and tense and you know, just so anxious and nervous that one would sit up straight throughout if one were watching at home. But I didn't dare sit up because I felt so insecure and we were also sitting on the last row with the door behind us so I constantly leaned on boyfie while demanding him to hug me throught the movie. lol. Too scary k T.T

When I say this is a good movie and a good thriller is because they had so much, er,  Thriller ETHICS! Lol, I mean like. Instead of suddenly throwing scary images at us or sudden frightening sounds with scary images to get us all tense, scared and shout like mad; they had nice flashbacks and like changes of scenes and smooth moves to show dead people (>_<.) that are so smooth that you watch it, you are tense, but you can't shout because you don't need to shout because, I don't know, it's too thrillling and interesting and good to waste time on shouting. you get it right? right? nvm >_<.

But apart from all the scary negative feelings, it was a very artistic film. Go Peter Jackson! It was dreamy and beautiful. Showing the girl (Susie) caught in between heaven and earth. It sure does make dying seem a lot more beautiful. But to me it's sad and scary somehow. Despite the beauty and wonderfulness and perfectness of it all, something is not right for Susie, therefore, she still have nightmares, unable to talk to people she love  (apart from some connection reaching out thing to her friends and family) and still linger around like a ghost. Oh, they never mentioned the word 'ghost' in the movie, instead, treat her like she is there but just there and not like scary there which makes it so personalised, so, so, not scary but scary >_<. there i go again >_<.

Anyway, it's a pretty good movie to watch. It's beautiful and realistic apart from the fantasy-between-heaven-and-earth-land. I guess it's supposed to bring out a beautiful positive  message, but for a scaredy-cat like me, haha, it was a but much to handle >_<. But I'm okay now, really. >_<. It's just that the after effects and emotions it brought me was really strong. Strong untill, whenever I open my eyes, I think about it, and how much it's too young for us to die T.T May God protect all young people in the world. which somehow its  a lil bit impossible but may it not be so scary and painful T.T

Unlike any thriller that just scares you and haunt you for a while then leave you, this movie will be over, and still cause you to ponder upon it while felling freaked and paranoid lol.

Movie: How to Train Your Dragon in 3D

Watched this movie on Thursday night and it was FAWESOME!!!! I LOVE DRAGONS! Well, if they were like in the movies, so dangerous yet so cute and sweet. Why does the description sound so much like a hot dangerous guy? wtf nvm.

The movie is just great. Original. Funny. Cool. Beautiful. and everything nice.

I was sooooo excited when I read the ratings and reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB. Rotten Tomatoes rated it 90%!!! 90!!!!! That's like effing good ok! Rotten Tomatoes is so known (to me) to give movies really low and digraceful ratings, but this movie, managed to hit A+ ok?!?!?! Even IMDB rated lower. >_<.

Anyway, if you read the reviews, it's got something to do with Vikings, Dragons and stuff. I don't really know how to narrate, but I can spoil it for ya.. ;)

Here goes, theres this boy in the Viking tribe who finds it hard for 'all-of-him" to fit in because he's small and weak and clumsy and stuff. He really really really wanted to fight and kill a dragon to please his dad and the rest of the Viking tribe and girl. >_<.

Budden he managed to shoot down a most wanted dragon, the Night Fury. But failed to kill it, instead, learnt alot about it. And more, and saved his entire town ANDDDd changed the Vikings minds and made friends with them dragons!

The End!

Okay, I'm bad at describing the whole movie but, it really is good. You gotta watch to know. Oh, and 3D isn't bad for this movie because it's bright and clear. Really good experience. WIll most definitely buy the DVD soon! hehehehes!!! 

Enjoy

Le Weekends

Me brother and I. On the way to church Saturday evening. Awh he's getting more and more handsome isn't he Sharon?

This was the bartender and Cottage's specialty cocktail. Cottage Swing I think. It's orangey. Sweet but ofcourse a bit bitter. I think it's a bit like Screwdriver. hehe

Pina Colada. I like!!! (don't know why blogger made the two cocktail pictures are so flat. The glasses are actually quite long.. hmm)

Like this guy too. lol.

Also went to check out Piccadillys which is bigger now and quite pretty inside.

And also the upstairs of Soho to look for Ade. Looks so VIP, so, upper class house party style. With cute angmo DJ lol.

Sunday! There was this Go Kart Demo thingy at Hills.

Don't know if you can spot number 12. He's damn fast. According to the guys, the kart had gears.. wooo~ Which poisoned boyfie more /.\

Bright day, good weather, lotsa people.

Kekeke.. he's so tall! ANyway, was trying to stand all the pollution from the karts. Smelled awful.

So that's practically the weekends. Couple of drinks on Saturdays. And hanging out wherever's got something going on on Sundays. Or just another movie. That's Kuching  weekends for ya.

Oh!! Just found this in my Fashion TV long sleeved large turtle neck shirt that Sunday... wtf

Yeah, I Love Fashion alright!

Oh yeah, just watch A Walk To Remember last night. Darn! I know the whole world watched it already, cos Agnes kept reminding me. But, I didn't have much access to movies when I was younger ok!.. Strict student life then ok! >_<. bleh. I think it's a typical Korean love story kinda movie where some young people in love gets sick and dies. But still cried through it anyway /.\ (damn Shane was hot)

And that sweet romantic stuff the guy did for the dying girlfriend.. Sigh, sad to say, or even think that all that never lasts. A guy would normally just be really sweet and romantic for the first few months, making all the girls fantasies come true.. Then, after all that and the relationship becomes stable, things would either be boring because no one does sweet stuff for each other anymore, or people take each other for granted, or, it could even turn out to be a nightmare. Why can't anything last in this world. T.T lol.

Anyway, I am happy and grateful that my relationship is stable and sometimes sweet lol eventhough it ain't as touching as the movies, lol. But I guess, as long as two people are happy with each other,  love and trust each other, don't step over each other nor be so particular about every little thing, and give and take and be honest with each other, and appreciate each other in everyway, a relationship can be quite peaceful, even, enjoyable ^^.

Random days of food and fun at Spring and Hills

First week of uni, plenty of time, went shopping with the girls at Spring, as usual. Seriously, I think I pop out at Spring more often on school days than holidays because well yeah, it's right opposite my uni :P We had a great trip that day. The two girls right here bought a bag each, and I got a pair of sandals that I oh-so-love-so-much! XP

Tee Hee!!!! Purtee right!? Charles and Keith. They are SOOOOOOOOOOOO COMFORTABLE!!!!!!! I was amazed. So much value for my money. *tears of joy*wtf

After out shopping we chilled at Secret Recipe like some aunties married to rich husbands wtf.

On another day, Me and the boyfie went to watch Green Zone. It was awesome like I mentioned in another post before this and we both enjoyed it much. After that, he brought me to try that little restaurant called H.I.P.

The view from the restaurant is awesome. It's like a different angle of Spring from above.

I really like to eat at a place with good view. It's more enjoyable to me.  Which is why I LOVED the Vertigo Roof Top restaurant in Bangkok so so so much! T.T Well, even in a simple restaurant, I always feel better facing the windows, it's weird >_<.

Well, as you can see, HIP's food is kinda so so. Plain and simple. To me it isn't anything special, and not worth my muneh,

Tauhu. Which was aight.

This was at Hills Food Inc. Japan Boat Takoyaki.
Damn I LOVE Takoyaki (ever since KL Trip 2006 Jaya Jusco, One U) and I was soo excited to see that there is a specialized Takoyaki store :D

 You can't miss the store with these uber cute stuff and

3 Octopuses. HAHA. So CUTE! Which is sad, because, Takoyaki consists of octopus. :\

MMM! Freshly made Takoyakis lined up for consumption. YUmS!

I say freshly made because, they are all cooked in front of us! Looking at it being cooked just makes my mouth water.

This is mah pack of Takoyakis. 1 pack for RM3.20. 2 for RM6 :D

 Oh just look at it and may you salivate.
To me, it isn't too bad. It's huge so it's worth it. Budden, I always like the insides of the Takoyaki to be creamier. This was already a bit harder. But still nice. I think I like Sushi King's Takoyakis more eventhough they are like really small haha.

Agnes said this looked like paintings. And so it does! God's painting :') Framed by the genius who designed Pullman's windows.

Awh man the lighting looks pretty good in this pic although it was taken with my incompetent camera T.T Photoshop is awesome. :')

Spot the cottage! haha.

Yeah, can be seen really clearly from here. :)

Oh my! Look what I found :D

wtf haha

Oh I love my nail colour. Recently got it too >_<. From the FaceShop. Love the strong bright pink >_<.

Taken that Sunday. The sky was :')

Final pic, one of Marry Brown's Dishes. The fries are not too bad. Chicken a little too salty. Don't like preserved peas and carrot in my salad OR fried rice or anywehre else >_<.

Sorry for the lack of enthusiasm half way through the post. Was supposed to get this post up before the weekends but I got caught up by.. erm.. oh, period. T.T It was annoying me much that day therefore I did not finish blogging neither did I even start my revision. Oh doomed T.T

Monday is tomorrow and I've accomplished nothing academic nor sports related for the past 2 weeks. *SIGH* but I did have an eventful weekend :D Will update in the week to come. Though, assignments and revisions are piling up. Nevermind, will find time. It's 1:42am and I should hit the sheets.

I must work hard and be more energetic and disciplined from tomorrow onwards! Budden I know the hour I'm heading to bed tonight ain't gonna help T.T

Lucks to me and you. Nights. Cheers

Eyeliners for the mono eyelid & stuff

Okay, so I have a weakness for all things pretty, including stuff that can make one look prettIER.

So today's topic would be about some eyeliners I have, and my experiences using them. :D

Disclaimer: My experience with the following liners may be different from other people and opinions may differ too. 

I have single eyelids. My single eyelids tend to fold into the eye instead of outside so it is easy to smudge liners if I don't use good ones. And my face gets kind of oily after half a day so double the probability of smudging.

Ok, lets get started.

MAC Crayon Liner in black. But on it writes, "GRAPHBLACK TECHNAKOHL LINER EYE-LINER KAJAL..." (whatever that means) on the pencil. Made in Germany :D Costs around RM65.

Anyway, this liner gives extremely smooth application. The line is really black, thick and easy to control. 

However, it ain't water proof. T.T This was the first branded eyeliner I bought in my entire life. I was 18 then I think, 2007. Bought from the MAC store in Pavilion KL with Sharon. I asked the sales person if it was water proof and she said it was. 

Then being the innocent clueless little me, I used it on New Years eve and went to Sungei Wang to join KL for the celebration. The environment was VERY crowded. It was drizzling a little, and youngsters were spraying foam at EVERYBODY. 

So at the end of the day, my face was wet, sweaty and SMUDGED.

Yeap, the eyeliner was all over my eyebags making me look like a.. a... nevermind.

So, This liner is awesome if (1.) You're gonna be in an aircond room all day (2.) You'll be heading home early (because if you go out for too long, and oil starts appearing on your face, it'll still smudge). (3.) you want a softer look on your eyes (cos liquid liner cant do wad pencil and crayon ones do).

Next, Bobbi Brown Pencil Liner in black. Bought around the same time I got the MAC one when I was in KL. I have no idea why I needed 2 similar types of liner then. swt. This costs around RM65, similar to the MAC one.

To me, the liner isn't very black, but a few more layers would do. the edges of each line is usually very rough, so I use the other tip of the pencil, which is something like a smudge sponge tip or something, to smoothen the edges. I like that tip cos it's awesome for blending. Oh, the pencil smudges quite easily.

So, I use this eyeliner more as a dark eyeshadow, apart from lining the lower corner of my eyes with it. So yeah, I love use it more often than my MAC one.

KATE super sharp liner. This is a liquid eyeliner. Most prolly from Japan cos it's under KANEBO.

This is my favourite eyeliner I tell ya! It's really sharp so lines are so easy to shape. And it's soft so it doesn't give you rough edges. And I think it's quite waterproof because I can wear it all day and it doesn't go all over my eyes. Angeline used to use this and rub her eyes often and it doesn't smudge at all! Awesome ehy? It's cheap too! like around RM30!

So I kind of recommended this liner to all my girl friends. Though, one of my friend didn't like it. She said it wasn't black enough, and it tends to wear out after half a day, like, it's not black black anymore. 

My solution to this is to just add another layer if it isn't black enough. :D

Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Liner. This was recommended by Xian. She said her makeup artist friend recommended it to her and so she convinced me that it is really good. So, I tried a bottle. It's so small and cute right heh. Oh ya!! Michelle Phan used this gel liner in one of her makeup tutorials too! I think it's the one with two lines on the eye. :D

Well, this is like the first gel liner I've used and I find it very easy to use. The colour comes out rich and smooth. The lines are easy to draw depending on what type of brush you use. The brush provided is alright for me. :D The only downside is that I gotta wash the brush every 2 days because after the gel dries, the brush becomes stiff causing it to be more like a stick wtf. Oh, and also it isn't really practical to carry a bottle and a brush out to do touch-ups.

The Gel liner lasts quite long, I tried it when I went swimmng in a pool! lol. It did stay but after some time, when my skin got oily and mixed with the pool water, it smudged baaadd~~~

But overall this liner is good I guess :) Also less than RM40 I think.

Finally, REVLON Colour Stay pen liner. REVLON Colour Stay products had some pretty good reviews especially with it's liquid foundation. It was known to give good coverage and last pretty long. However,I did not enjoy using the pen liner. 

The colour is very black which is good. The bad part to me is the pen's tip. It is hard just like a marker pen (or maybe a bit harder).So when I draw a line on my eye, it rubs against my lids really rough, making it rather uncomfortable. And, the edges aren't smooth at all, it's like drawing on cloth with your marker pen, the cloth tends to crumble when the hardness of your pen rubs on it right? Exactly the same on my eyelid T.T

So overall, I like the KATE liquid liner the most. It's smooth, practical and lasting. :D

Since I'm already talking bout beauty stuff, lemme share with you this simple cute accessory!

This my girls is something like a hair holder. Lol. I only found out about this last year >_<. Some of  you may have already been using this for a long time.. I dunno >_<. But it's a great hair holder thing. It clings on your hair better than a hair clip. I use it when I bath, wash my face and also apply makeup :D The bestest thing of all is that it doesn't leave a dent or mess up my hair when I use it.

For ya to see in detail. Agnes was the one who was using it which sparked my curiosity to ask her about it. Then when she went to Hong Kong she helped me get a pair :D 2  in one pack :)) comes in different colours. But I preffered black.

Now I recently saw that ZeSan bought it from Boulevard, so, whatcha waiting for girls, useful stuff!

Oh, heard it's pretty trendy in Taiwan and Japan too! lol~

Lastly is this cute pack which Agnes gave me. It's a hand-warmer! loL! so cute. Though, I haven't used it yet... Don't really need it in Swinburne this semester cos it isn't that cold haha. I kinda forgot the instructions already and the packaging is no help because

It's all in Japanese. Nevermind, will ask Aggy again when I see her. haha.

That's all.

Noticed I've been updating again? Well, it's because I finally have time, like, seriously. First week, I was occupied with Glee. Then this week, Monday and Tuesday was pretty tiring. And now that I am done with Glee, I have time for washing my clothes, doing facial treatments, nails, and other useful things again :D

Hope no one gives me a bunch of series again before my finals >_<. OMG, heard Gossip Girl continued already! *gasp*

*digs*
