Quando, quando, quando?

I hate those lying bastards at the cineplex!

Months ago (well weeks perhaps) I checked this stupid un-updated false-hope giving website and was ecstatic to see that they were planning on releasing Sweeney Todd by the 3rd of January and other movies that I so badly wanted to see this month!!!

Guess what? It's the third and I see no sign of Sweeney Todd. Instead they're showing Cloverfield next week apparently (though that was not included in that stupid list).

I'm just so disappointed and crestfallen because my whole state of well being revolved around the 24th and 31st when I would be watching Atonement and the Kite Runner (respectively) and maybe covertly sneak in to watch 27 dresses too... (James Marsden is cute ok?)

This month showcases substantially good movies (There Will Be Blood, Gone Baby Gone, American Gangster) but I highly doubt they will show them though. If the story doesn't centre around giant robots saving the world or a foul mouthed idiot trying to bang the girl next door, don't expect on watching it. But if that's the case why do they even bother lying to us?! Eventually you will be exposed as the crappy-movie showing and incompetent cinema that you are. I shouldn't be so naive in the future.

when, when, when?

Hope I don't sound too harsh but I am so crushed cause I've been wanting to watch Kite Runner since like ever! I will retract all the savaging and maligning that I've done to the cinema if they show any of the good movies that I've previously mentioned.

Oh and happy 16th Zim!

What's "horrible and tacky and gross"?

After the latest episode of Project Runway (guilty pleasure okay?!) I'm pretty sure I agree with Christian in saying that it's prom! I think I have been eternally traumatised after seeing the designers collaborate with teenagers to get their dream prom dress, thought its less of a dream and more of a nightmare... (watch out for spoilers!)

Taffeta, sequins and plastic jewelry. What more can a girl ask for?

The GoodActually these ones aren't so bad. The first one is a pretty colour, I like the draping of the 2nd dress though I think if it was more of a forest green it would have more impact (think Keira in Atonement). But the third dress is my favorite. The material doesn't look so cheap, the colour's pretty and the little rhinestones are a nice touch. Far right, this dress could have been nice too. Though it wasn't executed very well. Bit too high at the bust area. The materials horrible too.

The Bad

Well, I don't need to elaborate.

The Ugly

OMG I don't need to for this one either but just cause, I will. You may think I'm lying to you when I say the middle one won the challenge, well i think I'm lying too! Except I'm not! It looks like someone had accidentally spilled their breakfast cereal on her neckline. But the worst is definitely that brown one. It is the god of all atrocious prom dresses. You have the stiff underlining, the eyesore inducing colour (metallic brown bronze?!), the detailing and sequins... and if that wasn't bad enough LEOPARD PRINT SHOES!

I've never been to one so is the term "gorgeous prom dress" and oxymoron? It seems that the occasion calls for such a horrible dress. If you want to feast your eyes on more lovelies:

Just to placate myself I created a little collection on dresses that could (should) be an alternative to the ones I featured above. I'm still learning how to use adobe btw! I thought that the ballroom near the sea looked really pretty!
Anyways the first dress is Bottega Veneta ss07. For the simple, minimalistic girl.

2nd is Marchesa ss08, an Indian inspired gown for an ethnic feel, but still prom-like and pretty.

The third look is a bit risky for prom, but for a boost of colour, this Lanvin ss08 is stunning!

From Ralph Lauren's ss08 collection, this shorter dress is fun with polka dots but still classy with a vintage My Fair Lady feel.

Lastly is Carolina Herrera and staying true to prom traditions there is the poufy skirt (but not TOO huge) and lace and just to add pink, there is the bow.

Or perhaps I shall just pop in that prom episode of the OC with Mischa in a Chanel gown and Greco-Roman flats.

This made my day.

(Ensuing the last hatred laden HSM cast post...)
In an interview with Elle magazine, Jessica Alba who graces the cover of the February issue, tells the mag about her encounter with the boy in the pic (saying his names gives me the creeps!);

"He looks like a child with a lot of makeup."
"I was like, My God, you're just a little kid."

It's just funny cause I've always though the same thing. I understand in this day and age and especially the entertainment industry men are expected to wear makeup too. But really, no one should cake it on like he does. Tsk. In other magazine news, my Johnny is on the cover of Rolling Stones again! Thankfully, sans Keith Richard and Pirates getup (and buttons... )


At left is his first Rolling Stones cover, 1991! Oh my that's seventeen years ago! Note that both covers are January! Aren't we so meant to be... sigh. Nevertheless he's still lookin good.

Oh and I don't know whether Wikipedia needs to be rectified or what I heard wasn't true; but someone told me Giuliani is no longer running after the New Hampshire primary but on wiki it still says he is! If anyone knows please! I really hope wiki is right.

a bit behind, but still big.

High School Musical

you either love it, or hate it.
I, myself, am not fond of it at all but i think it's good for kids. kids like these kind of things. leave them dreaming that there's always a happy ending no matter what. that latterns and fireworks are gonna magically fly or shoot up into the sky when you kiss someone. there's so many tiny mistakes that you can point out, i guess its just to add to the whole happily ever after thing they want to show kids. BUT some of these mistakes should never be there in the first place. there's even a group about all the mistakes HSM made! I mean, i dont even like the actors. Zac Efron was really good in Hairspray though, but being a big hotshot that hollywood says he is? No way. I mean, I've heard so many people say his nose was weird when HSM1 came out.

I just hate it how the media is so obsessed about HSM. I know its a huge hit with the kids especially when Disney made such a big deal about it in the first place with the countdowns, the sing-a-long's, dance-a-long's and everything, but why does the Media have to be so obsessed with something that a HUGE number of people find so extremely, terribly annoying. I think Disney plays the songs and videos over and over. Dont you just get sick of it after hearing it 50 times in a week? I reckon when the media found out that main actors Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens were a couple, it was probably their #1 story. I find it so sad. And when Ashley Tisdale recently got her little nose job, E (the channel) went straight on the story and announced that all her fans hated her now. I mean, if she was so insecure about her nose until she had to turn to rhinoplasty, then let her be!

why is the media so obsessed about this movie/s when its meant for the kids. do you see something like the Even Stevens Cast all over the tabloids? I mean, they're probably more entertaining. Shea Leboeuf! They had a movie AND a tv show. OOH and HSM even has their own BOOKS. They are all over bookstores, probably in every single one. Oh my god. And I cant wait to see HSM3 when it comes out in cinemas. *rolls eyes* HAHA omg thats so bitchy. Might be a laugh to go along see how cramped the cinemas are gonna be. IF it comes out in Brunei. It probably will, definitely a huge money maker.

okay. if you like HSM, I'm sorry. :)

Runway to Reality

Tis the season for celebrities to start dressing off the SS08 runway!

Elettra Rosselini Wedemann in Chloe

Katie Holmes in Lanvin

Marion Cotillard in Chanel

I really wish celebrities take the effort to dress up in their designer duds. Unlike the runways where combinations are arresting, these outfits are so devoid of flair and creativity! Oh well, not everyone has panache.

Doesn't Katie Holmes look stunning though? She's come a long way from her Dawson's Creek days.

i guess the good evens out the bad.

the people here; some are really friendly and have manners, some just don't and aren't.
i was driving home from training or something and I saw this car stopped on this narrow road on the way home, and it belonged to an old man. I guess his car broke down or he had a flat tire. But there was this police (i don't know how he got there cause i doubt policemen would drive along somewhere quite deep inside the road.) that actually cared and stopped to help this old man. I mean, how nice is that. You could've just driven off and minded your own business and think "oh yeah sure, someone will stop and help him. It wont really matter, he'll be okay" but the policeman didn't. I just thought, we should have more of these kinda people.

BUT.
last monday, new year's eve, i had a dentist appointment for my braces at JMPC. so when I got back, there was a car that COMPLETELY blocked my car from leaving that particular parking space. all the other cars behind were too close up and there was absolutely no way to get out. So my mom started hitting on the horn, first once, then a few more times. This kept up for another 15 minutes and we just sat there. we were actually running late for some errands but i guess those errands weren't all that important. From the building right next to us, this man just casually walked out and took his time fumbling in his pocket for his car keys. Then he walked in front of our car to get to the driver's seat GLARED at us and just got into his car and SLAMMED the door, without even apologizing for blocking our car. (we knew cause our windows were slightly open to let the hot air out) that just pissed me off. hasn't anyone taught him any basic manners? my god.

Ooh btw, have any of you watched the Concert for Diana? As in Princess Diana. Oh my god, it was really touching, really sad. so many of the performances were amazing. Rod Stewart, James Morrison, Elton John, Joss Stone, Natasha Bedingfield, Kanye West, P Diddy. they even showed videos of the wonderful things that Princess Diana had done, like visiting the blind people. that one was soooooo beautiful, that moment on the video. oh my god. it was all really sad.

all wrapped into one with a ribbon on it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMO!
HAHAHA this is how much uglier you look with the wig. :D you know i love you, you fat loser :)

Oh my god. Amirah has disappeared.
Anyway, first day of mocks! not cool, so annoying with all that waiting for the time to come.
English was okay, wasnt that hard but at the same time, it wasnt easy.
I did the argumentative like I was meant to but I wasn't completely sure on how to blend the topic into the introduction I did. I guess the main body of it was decent. It was just a bad statement, so strange.

"To hate people is always wrong"

Doesnt that just sound like something your mom or a teacher would tell you?
"okay kids, now its not good to hate each other. you must all learn to be friends!"
pfft. so i thought that question was dodgy. But I haad to choose it.
I thought the first question was not too bad. I missed out the part where it said "develop points if you need".
something like that. Ooh i guess it shouldn't matter that much. I argued my points.

So we all got really bored after the exam. I think 10 of us all marched off to the shop to get some grub.
It was boiling today, so cold in the exam room but sooooooooooo friggin' hot outside.
I find it so amusing when security guards ask for your exam pass,
then you just take it out and shove it in their faces. Authority!
I GOT THE POWER! ♪
after a while, we started jumping around.
jon (lee) was jumping over sheng, arthur and kee khoon in the basketball court.
actually, it was quite scary to watch. :| cause arthur and sheng aren't what you'd call "short".

so overall school was okay. when I got home, I just felt really BLAH. tonight is most definitely not my night. Jon, I'm really sorryy. I know i suck.
off to revise now. boringgg.
