mobiles, prams, diapers, babies!

Celebrity babies!
Late Heath Ledger and his 2year old daughter Matilda Rose, its sad how she wont get to know her amazing father. Christian Bale and his also 2 year old daughter Emmaline looking cute in her aviator-style shades. Obviously Sean Preston and Jayden James, sons of Britney Spears and ex-husband Kevin Federline. Still being fought over for custody. There's baby Kingston, Gwen Stefani's little son who looks so cute in the picture below next to the picture of Suri Cruise, TomKat's gorgeous nearly two year old girl, both wearing burberry checks. If only we have A-list moms and dads, then we'd be wearing Little Marc, Burberry like these two, Baby Guess etc. How lucky are these little bundles, born into the luxurious life of the stars.


But still in my opinion, the number 1 most fabulous baby is Suri Cruise! She's gorgeous! She has definitely inherited her parents' goodlooking genes. Her hair is cut like her mom's, in the twenties short bob but we still cant really tell if baby Suri looks more like her dad or her mom. Her lovely blue eyes just contrast with her always-soft-looking brown hair. She's always looking very chic and stylish whether she strolls around the streets or wandering around with mom. Or dad.

Ooh and by the way! if you didnt know, Joel Madden and Nicole Richie just had a baby girl called Harlow Winter Kate Madden on the 11th of January 08. Paris Hilton says "I've sent her all these presents. I'm going to spoil her!". Also a few hours later, Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman have a new baby boy on the 12th of January. Azim's birthday! But anyway, he's called Max Liron Bratman. Aww, I cant wait to see their gorgeous to-be outfits their famous parents dress them in!

a series of unfortunate events?

It's really sad and a little strange that quite a few young (not that young) stars are dying of overdoses. Like in the post just now, Heath Ledger. And to add on to that, last week, 25year old Brad Renfro. He was already rising in the big screen, and this happens. He lived with his granmother, so he says he's always been the "man of the house". R.I.P. Brad Renfro.

R.I.P

an enormous loss for hollywood.
Heath Ledger has just passed away yesterday in his NYC apartment at the young age of 28.
The phenomenal actor died of an overdose, leaving his two-year old daughter, Matilda Rose, in this world. whether it's suicide or accidental overdose, we dont know yet. He had recently split up with ex-fiance Michelle Williams in the september of 2007, and was then dating model Gemma Ward.
It's so sad and painful to think that we'll never see Heath Ledger amazingly act in more movies.
Casanova, The Dark Knight (that's finished already), Brokeback Mountain, A Knight's Tale etc.
I'm in slight shock when I read more about his death, especially this article that said "Around 6:30 p.m., city workers rolled Mr. Ledger’s body, in a black body bag on a stretcher, out of the building."

He's really gone..

R.I.P Heath Ledger. ♥

"Even you Mrs Lovett, even I"


Okay, yay, they did show Sweeney Todd! And thank god! It was simply... amazing!

I love musicals. I love Johnny Depp. I love Tim Burton. And I love this movie! Wait what goes beyond love? Never mind. Of course it's also Stephen Sondheim so one should expect nothing short of brilliant. The casting was perfect, and every single second of the play had me raptly attentive. From the outset I knew the film is gonna be - to borrow a phrase - legendary! Urghhhhhh when will the soundtrack come out on gomusic?

The cinematography was breathtaking, and classic Tim Burton - a perfect blend of a macabre palette and vivid colours redolent of his cartoon-esque pictures
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Big Fish. Well those are the trivial matters in comparison to the plot and writing and music! I'm not so good with reviews so I won't bother. Just get a ticket, sit down, throw away any popcorn or drinks that you have bought, and surrender to the stylized and invigorating masterpiece... that is Sweeney Todd.

Sidenote: if you think Johnny couldn't get any sexier, well he totally raises up the ante. Just think, you can have him sing to you 24/7.

I'm a busy bee.

No I haven't forgotten about this blog! Not that I'd blame you for speculating so after my previous attempts of blogs which I ultimately abandoned. I've been very occupied with trying to avoid studying but I will start blogging soon with something more substantial than this!

Anyway, how unfortunate that the Golden Globes were cancelled this month! Those writers better start working; how am I suppose to survive without my Oscar and Emmy doses of gown dissecting and bitching and ga-gaing?!

Congrats to Atonement and Sweeney Todd for picking up all those little golden people! And of course Johnny who snagged Best Actor for a Musical or Comedy! My heart goes out to James who did not win Best Actor in a Drama, which isn't to say Daniel Day Lewis didn't deserve it!

Wow. I posted without pictures.

fashion police needed.

So Jia min and I went out today, and after a while we started going around into shops trying to find some dresses to play around with and try on. I swear, in all the shops we went to, all the dresses were so disappointing, some were hideous. I thought I'd be positive and think "I'm sure Brunei will have at least one or two decent dresses" but after what I've seen today, I've totally given up on the fashion sense here.

There were complete clashes of colour, tacky sequins sewn onto the wrong places, unnecessary ruffles here and there, extra material hanging here and there that made dresses look even worse, way-too-bright and burst of blinding coloured print, waist bands that ruined dresses that had potential. these just added to the fact that the material for 98% of all the dresses we saw, was atrocious, the material was horrible.

Even the two dresses we tried, we had to force ourselves to pick two otherwise the whole point of playing around and trying on for fun was defeated. we went into "Butik Eileen Chen", and were flipping through the dresses in hope to find ONE decent-looking one, and then we heard a strangely familiar voice right behind us. i hear jia min hissing out my name and i look to my left and her face is half in shock, half in amusement. So I look around to see what she's on about, then i see a familiar head. Black wavy-ish hair, strange accent.. Ms Then was a foot away from us asking the sales assistant.. "I want something plaaaeeennn and simpeel to wear for work" So we burst out laughing and run outside. HAHA. Anyway, saw Mr and Mrs Hollis and they gave us weird looks cause we were meant to be at home studying. heh heh. Rebels.

I would've taken pictures of the 10 worst dresses of 13th January 08 showcased at the mall, but the idea just popped into my head an hour after I left.

okay. no more talking. back into study mode 8-)

big day for a small person. HAHA.
