somehow ended up watching alot of movies over this past week... :X last entry i stopped at my shopping trip on fri...so on sat i went to lan at e2max at cathay...no new maps for l4d and no audi! D: went to watch 4bia 2 at 1120...x.x heng the theater was quite crowded...=/
-----------------spoilers ahead!----------------------
following the short story format of 4bia 1, the sequl has 5 short stories...the first was The Novice, where this teenager was sent to a temple in the mountains to repent after commiting an offence which resulted in the death of his father. din really understand the whole story but i felt that he committed it repeatedly thus resulting in his death...more about karma actually. if he had done what one of the other monks told him to and stayed inside the cave then perhaps he could have been saved. (this part was explained to me later...)
then the second one was The Ward, where this guy was staying overnight in a ward cos he injured his leg in a car accident and weird things started to happen when he realise the guy sharing the ward with him was on the brink of death. (just knew weird things would start to happen loh when he had to stay overnight and his family was arriving the next morning). i din understand the ending of this story...=/
the third was Backpackers. seriously i think this one can be the scariest story of all...but the make-up of the zombies abit too CMI. :X but at least i could get the logic of this one...personally i would think the next one is scarier...it's called Salvage, this woman was selling 2nd-hand cars. this part wasnt so bad, just that she lied to the customers and told them all the cars have never been in accidents before even though they ALL DID. and after she got scolded by a customer i thought she was going to stop the business...until i realised she just scolded her worker for not doing a better job of concealing the damages from the car accident. =/ basically she deserves what she got but i dun think her son deserved it...x.x
the last one In the End was meant to be a comedy more than a horror show (even though there were still scary parts...TT) the 4 guys from 4bia 1 the camping story are back again..the whole theater just kept laughing throughout this story...xDDD overall i think the first 4bia was still nicer cos after watching just the first story of that i was tempted to go home already...(cos too scary, not cos too boring or what hoh) but i managed to last till the end for 4bia 2...x.x
-----------------------end of spoilers for 4bia------------------------------
went to jp to shop for awhile on sun...wanted to find my shoes but couldnt...(okok i know i'm picky. :x) then on mon had mj game(s) with ma, sharn and mh! wanted to
then after the game wanted to go imm eat ajisen (3rd time in a row...but still cant break my own record lah where i actually ate the same thing twice in a day) with sharn and mh but mh wanted to go watch movie...so we abandoned sharn and went to cathay (AGAIN)...the original plan was the eat inside the theater and to watch district 9...but in the end we ended up watching the midnight show for Gamer and went to eat ajisen at plaza sing... -.-
----------------more spoilers...-----------------------
basically the concept was of a game where humans can control other humans who are convicts with a death sentence...they get to choose whether to wait for their sentence or they can choose to become slayers (who have to fight battles) and they can go free as soon as they manage to survive 30 battles...so there was one guy who managed to survived till almost the end, but cos he knew some dark secret of the creator so the creator was out to ensure that he could not make it out. in the end, even though there was an unexpected twist at the end, i felt that the ending was too sudden and easy...got so easy die de meh?? ._.
---------------------end of 2nd spoiler....-----------------------
yesterday went to jp for foc manicure and pedicure again...wanted to try out some darker colours and i decided that the theme for the day was metallic...lol but too bad the first colour i chose was out of stock...x.x and hoh, i think the service there was really... =/ kept asking me to buy this buy that...want rest in peace also cant... =( no wonder sis gave up going there...but hoh, still got 2 times de mani/pedi left, 1 treatment and 6 whatever-it-is left...=/ i think the next time i go would be christmas liao...
after that wanted to ask someone if he wanted to watch The Ugly Truth at jp...cos i was looking through the reviews then i think the movie would be quite nice...but in the end din and went to try out the party world at clementi...got promo leh $11.80++ each for at least 2 ppl...can choose any 4hours between 11-7...sang alot of new songs...xDDD sang till no voice liao. x.x then went home to mjmj...(AGAIN :X)
then today went to cathay (yes again again...x.x) to watch The Ugly Truth. even when it had ended i still felt like i haven gotten enough...but it's a good movie for cynics like me! cos many thigns that they mentioned were things that i have actually thought about too...could sort of expect the ending even right at the start le but it was how they got there that was important...most of the time, we are actually just looking for someone who fits into our checklist...so even when we've already found "The One", we would reject him/her on the basis that "oh but he doesnt have this this this quality which is a must-have on my checklist..."
men are visual creatures. i dun know how many times i have heard this phrase already...and yeah i dun think they can last long if this really happened in real life. =/ cos the guy would just keep looking/"admiring" other women even when he's out with the girl...yeah in fairy tales the guy would say something like "i have no place for other women cos u're the only one i see" etc etc but that wont happen de loh...guys are always looking for better ones, especially i dun know why some would just like to sms/use their phones even when out with other ppl (i koped this from the forums but i think it makes sense loh.) at least show some respect mah...u mean u rather play with ur phone all the time than to be with whoever u're with at that time? then why bother asking them out...
and some who just liked to keep talking about others...looking around for ppl they know...is whoever that's beside u really just so boring that u need to constantly look around for others u can talk to...? =/
anyway~really felt like nodding my head in agreement to many things that they said in the movie...the quote i got for this movie..."Men are simple". no wonder it's NC16 for sexual references...some "references" are over so fast that i din even have time to think about what they meant... ._.

was very un-fruitful initially lolol. went with celine to far east plaza (before that we went to clementi for lan) and spent 3+hours walking around the entire place...my goal was mainly bag + shoes + skirt/pants, but in the end i only ended up buying one super-cute panda tshirt. :X whereas celine spent $100++ on 1 bottom and 4 tops...x.x saw alot of cute and nice things! but i think like celine said, i'm just too picky. =/ i wont buy something unless it matches at least 80% with what i had in mind...x.x
so after that met up with sis at the same place to go trim eyebrows (seems like far east plaza is the place with alot hair salons, beauty salons etc...O.O) and i was expecting it to be something painless and fast...sis din warn me it would be painful until literally the last min. D: heng the pain is still something i can tahan...and i think i was too tired from the shopping cos i almost fell asleep for real. :X then we were supposed to go to takashimaya to buy the eyebrow pencil etc. but on the way there we walked past this very very cute and nice makeup shop called Etude House. so we went in...and spent a very long time inside (and it was so crowded!)
my loot...the eyebrow pencil + colour that sis bought for me from the face shop =)
the powder foundation i bought at Etude House...look at the nice nice box!! xD
the free gift i got...i think it was either a poster of gu jun pyo or the BB cream...suddenly hearing alot such terms nowadays...i guess cos ppl in forums are talking about these too. o.o apparently it's supposed to be as good as having make up on without actually having it on...LOL. :X
and what i personally think should be voted best buy of the day...first time i saw such thing but i decided to buy it within 3mins of seeing it! (and sis actually said i'm more decisive than her HAHAHA) it's teardrop powder... :DDDD
now both sis and celine have said i'm picky... =( oh well. i think i shall postpone buying jacket, bag and maybe more makeup stuff till next month...so this month i only have to find my shoes urgently... xD i think i just finished up one year's quota of shopping today... x.x

okay finally bought my wallet...in the end the design i bought isnt the one that i've been thinking about for 2months...x.x but it's still very nice! and since i couldnt decide between the long one or the short one...(no i din buy both -.-) i bought a medium one! :D and it was only after i put it in my bag that i realised it looks like it came in a set with my phone...O.O less than 24hours after owning it and i already managed to get ink stains on it. D: and just cos i'm buying pink things doesnt mean i dun like blue anymore...cos wallet shop dun have nice blue female wallets! x.x
and my shopping spree has just started...on the look-out for cheap cheap yet nice things...shoes is a must...bag i would buy if i can find cheap and nice one...and more clothes! :X plus perhaps make-up if sis can teach me how to use...xD finally the hols are here! yay 1 week of relative rotting at home doing nothing! :D

it's amazing how it's still days to payday and i've already been fantasizing about going shopping for more than a week. :X I WANT CHEAP NICE AND COMFORTABLE things (wallet, jacket, bag, shoes, clothes etc) so dun bring me to weird and ex places hoh! like someone said..."nice and ex things who dun know how to find? it's finding the nice and cheap things that's hard loh..." xD just nice payday week should be the same as the mid-term break...time to go k! :D many many new songs~
my list...
1. wallet (i think i made up my mind already...xD but need to see whether the price is the same as what i remember :X)
2. shoes (for some reason, every time i go out with the intention to buy a certain kind of shoes, i would buy a different kind. hopefully this time would be different...=/)
3. clothes (blouses, 1 skirt, 1 shorts and 1 long pants? assuming i have enough money... :x)
these are the priority stuff i guess...first month i get to spend/save my paycheck and not have to pay sch fees/buy textbooks or whatever...x.x
mj and lan outings anyone? follow-up from sharn's blog... :D anyone willing to
@celine: and hoh, my life these few weeks has been so boring that if i wrote about what happened everyday it would really be just about sch work. ._.
