Pitch Perfect

Pitch Perfect is one of the more easier movie to watch.

So anyway everyone was saying how awesome Fat Amy was. And I was like ok, not bad, a cool awesome not stick figure character as part of the main character. But I really do not like her as she did not help Becca. It just got me so frustrated. If people was saying how awesome she is as a friend, I expect her to be one. I got such high hope for her. End up, it wasn't a biggie.

I was disappointed at the part where Becca just add on random songs in the routine. And after, when questioned, Fat Amy did not even bother to back her up. That's where I find the '"friendship" lacking. So I was expecting her to be the awesome friend but she wasn't.

Anyway, I really like Becca eye make up. It is just so simple and dark. Looks so unique and simple, yet just  so mesmerizing.

The story line is also simple. I especially like that the Dj guy wasn't part of the story. And she doesn't fall for him.

I guess the major reason I like this is cause of the mash up. I love mash up. I love how she mixes her own songs, and throughout the whole movie, it just play different mash up songs. and its cool that she knows so much songs. Really impressive. Sure back in secondary school I am really good at memorizing song lyrics. But now, I cant even sing a verse of any song. Not even the chorus. That how much I suck. So watching this feels nostalgic.
Oh, happy birthday counts?

I downloaded the soundtrack too. I hate it. It is ok, but not as good as it sounded in the movie. Especially the part where they did the battle and the finals. It wasn't a mash up, more like one song after another. So disappointed. I really did like the music from the movie.

Sixth

So I was sent this link


It's a video of one of the Wong Fu production. It's one the of the best production they made, I feel. I guess cause it gives me the some kind of emotions that I never really expect. It's like I love mushy soppy romantic stuff. I do want it. But I just don't believe in it. I don't believe in love. In happy ever after. I like the idea of it. I want it. But I don't believe it.

People who are in love are either new or having an affair.

I guess I always want that in love feel. It's easy to love someone. And be with that person for maybe the rest of your life? But it's hard to stay in love.

You can keep it up or try. But then you have kids and a life to build. You have work and money issue. Life will eventually catches up with love.

I rather stay out of love. But I actually like love. Love the feeling it gives to people. But I always feel its just an illusion. Or just a starting point. Like kids loving school until a certain grade. Then they hate it.

I really hope one day I can find/feel the HOW, the sixth. After the who what when where why.

I guess I just need to find the DONi.
The guy who can put a stop to my phobias. The guy who I can be in love with for a considerate long amount of time. I just wanna know what it feels to be in love.

One day you'll be my sixth.

Day 28

I can't believe February had ended. Like I was just oh no Chinese new year soon. Visit relative and such. But it's practically over.

This month I shop a lot. Like duh. It is not a surprise really. More 红包 more money. But I shop for wallet, bag and a wristlet.

See, so cute it matches my bed sheet and blanket.

I also got myself a Shu Uemura eyelash curler. Those up there people either use Shu Uemura or Shiseido. I already have the Shiseido, and the more I read, research, watch tutorials and such, the more I spot Shu Uemura. So I just wanna compare the two. And here's a little review.
Shu Uemura is great for those who are scared to use lash curler. When you tighten the curler, the side has a gap that prevent your eyes from getting pinch. It doesn't tug on your skin as it doesn't touch your skin. It is not scary to use curler anymore. Plus it is wider than Shiseido.
For the other one has the softest pad ever. It's the rubber pad that usually is black in color. It's so soft that you can keep clamping it over and over and you don't feel scare that your lashes will break. I love it so much, but only after I adjust it to my eyes and make sure it doesn't clamp the side of my eye or the inner corner.
Both curl the same. Hold the same. Manage to curl the ends too, even though it doesn't look like it capture all your lashes.
So both are great but it will be better if they combine. But I did switch it up, and it doesn't work. In fact both pad are actually the same or really really similar. For some reason the Shu Uemura just cut in deeper. More sturdy even though the curler itself is more flimsy(loose). I don't know if non make up user actually know what I'm talking about.
So I guess Shu Uemura is great for quick curling. While Shiseido is more for proper one as it is so much softer.

I got potpourri from Daiso, I just fell in love with the color.

It smells nice too especially when you drop scented oil in it.

I also got this expensive Japanese tissue holder. Or you can put your pad, the female one this time, and it's just so classy and traditional.

I've been carrying tissue in my bag all the time now. Yup, I'm a "girl" now, oh cept when I bring just my wallet out and I know there will be tissue where I'm going to dine at.
When the tissue is full and new it's so nice on its package. But when you kept taking out one by one and you left it in your bag, it mostly torn at the side or tissue decided to come out by itself. So I really need a tissue holder and it just look nice. Oh it's also from Daiso.
I guess it's expensive for a small piece I cloth. However if you get it outside in this kind of traditional Jap pattern type of cloth, it usually cost way much more. Like way more. So I'm happy with what I got.

Oh I did bought some lipstick. It was on sale. I kind of have cognitive dissonance on the color. I mean I do like it, but I think I could be better off with another shade.

I really do not like sales promotion. As a marketing student, I feel so stupid for falling for it every time. Then again, if I justify with my own reasoning, my wants, needs and desire will point to buy buy buy. Ok maybe the want and desire, need I definitely don't require anymore product.

And so for a good strategy to push sale Maybelline color tattoo at Guardian was 2 for $19.90. During the previous Maybelline whole of Singapore sale, it was $12.90 each. So you see, how can I resist? Especially since I wanted to try it forever. And I always can't decide between the two colors; bad to the bronze and tough as taupe. So buy 2 for how much is a really good excuse to purchase them. That's my reasoning and I'm sticking or it.

Ps. The charm was Nata present to me. It's so cute. It's a gnome but it shall be a dwarf.

Is it true?

See picture below. Picture taken from some screenshot, so I don't know the source.

What do you think?
Who is hotter?

I personally choose the first one as would most people, I think. The first group of women have bigger boobs and they ain't afraid to show it. Well I mean they are just wearing the bras without any cover unlike the second pictures.

So ya.
Man those boobs.

Cappadocia

Watching national geography now. It's about Cappadocia. Like a place at Turkey. And I was watching the part bout the underground housing. They kept digging cause it's the only way they can go to hide from the enemy.

Anyway seeing the underground city where like 60 thousand stay at one point of time remind me of the place Stephanie Meyer describe in the host. The host is made into a movie. So I really like to see how they make the place.

Like the ants home. The soil and it form that kind of pathway.
Oh well just wanna post that for no reason at all.

What I buy this month

A few days back I was so happy and proud that I did not buy anything this month. Well I did buy my make up on sale obviously. But I was expecting it to come in March or late February. Anyway it came today.

Plus the CG polishes I bought last month also came this month. At first I was so happy with the colors and in the end I got bored with it. 5/6 is sheer so it wasn't fun. The one isn't sheer, raspberry festival, is almost identical to hot lava love. In fact it's the same base just that raspberry festival has a micro glitter finish. The other more satin. But it's more gorgeous than the satin so I'm happy with that.
Oh I had to buy 6 cause shipping come in 3. So it's cheaper this way or so I tell myself.

I also buy clothes for cny apparently. Well for school. But I only will wear them after cny. Then I also buy shoes since my daily one is spoil.

I really shouldn't be shopping so much but I can't help myself. I'm an addict. If I don't shop, I eat chocolate. It's bad! Next month probably have more shopping.

Oh Legolas!

Good news for me. Haha. I thought there won't be any Legolas in the hobbit trilogy. Since there was no Legolas in the first one. But now. Hehe. I'm in love all over again. So happy.

Rock of Ages

I’ve recently watch 2 musical movie. And no, one of them is not Les Miserables. I watch Rock of Ages and Pitch Perfect. Alright it is not exactly musical, well the rock of ages kinda is. They just kept singing.

So, the movie is bout a girl moving to LA to get a break in singing. She met a guy who works in a bar and helped her get a job as a waitress.

He got his big break and he thought she cheated on him with some rock star and she quit her job and be a waitress at some strip club.

Every time they talk or think, they will sing. And the songs are mash up and familiar. You will know the songs and feel nostalgic. Well, sometimes. It is just that the songs are songs you know. It is familiar. You can sing a long.

The movie is 2h long. So it is long. The story line is very standard. Typical and you can guess what is going to happen next. So you do not watch for the story. You want for the songs. It is just for easy watching/listening. Too long, but it is nice to listen and know. Cause you will be like, hey I know this song. It is a nice feeling to have.
Plus the movie consists of lots of actors you know. Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin(30 Rock), Russell Brand, Catherine Zeta-Jones, just to name a few.

So, it wasn’t as bad as people say. Lengthy and predictable but its just a movie you do not have to think too much. Just to watch for the soundtrack. For the music of the 80s.

P.s. Why in movie the Hollywood sign is such a popular place to go on a date? It is like they always bring their girls there and it always seem empty. Isn’t great place suppose to be filled with people. Cause all guys will think that it is such a great place.
Not just talking bout this movie or the Hollywood sign in general, but more of any place actually.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

This movie is 169min long. So, it is pretty worth to watch in cinema. As ticket cost $11. This movie is the prequels to Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. The story line is about Bilbo Baggins with a group of Dwarves who wanted to reclaim their stolen mountain home from a dragon named Smaug.

The movie introduce a lot of characters. Like hobbit, wizards, dwarves, elves, goblins, trolls, etc. Pretty random, pretty out of place. Like every scene will bring a new type of creature.

If you love LOTR, then you’ll love this movie. Maybe some of you may find it boring, or too long. But I do love it. I love the story, I love how it brings the same person as the same character. I love how it introduce the ring. I also then know about the 5 wizards, which I don’t think matter very much except for the white and the grey. It tells you bout Gandalf the grey. As in the LOTR, he died and became the white. The Brown also was the one who discovered the ghost.

13 dwarves lead by their prince Thorin, Gandalf and Master Baggines went for a dangerous journey which the title say it all. I felt it was more about dwarves than the actual hobbit. Even though it is bout him, but ya it is just focus on the dwarves getting back their home.

If you want the story, read the wiki, read the book or watch the movie.

I am just going to talk more bout what I think. I watched the movie after hearing people said that it is boring. So I never expect much. I just thought it was going to be draggy. Which sure at some part, when they finally saw the mountain and the dragon sleeping in the pile of gold. Oh glorious gold. I love that part. Anyway, I thought we were just at one and half hour of the movie. End up it was over and 2h more had past. So it was quite cool. I never thought it will be “pretty fast”.

I thought they gonna kill off half the dwarves when the rock crush on them. So ya, its pretty cool they did not. Even though 15 characters is kind of a lot. Lots of quirky moment, funny jokes like: “He won the battle and invented the game of golf at the same time.” The part where Saruman said bout the brown wizard eating too much mushroom.

I guess the hobbit is not for everyone, but if you love simple humor and want to know what happen before LOTR. 60 years ago to be exact, then you can watch it.

Gifts ideas

Alright, this post is a day early. I am going to blog about my presents I got for people and my buys for this month. Other than the one I already blog about.

My bolster from Yogi:

Mami throw away my bolster so for about 4 months I have no bolster to hug to sleep. For a person who cant sleep without bolster, surprisingly I survived. But this is a nice addition. It is about a meter long and very soft to the touch.

Samples for this month. Have not tried any of them. But I just love free stuff. Especially the red wine mask.

Bought smoked salmon and perrier. My last meal on Earth if the world ended that day on the 21st. So yummy. The salmon doesn't taste fishy at all, so it was great.

Went to Daiso to get presents for people. And I got this in mix berry. The lavender was very light. This one is also light. Only managed to smell it when the air con is full blast and the door was closed. I came back after washing up and smell the berries. Just once though. So I do not recommend this. At least the lavender one, the smell is there when you brought it close to your nose.

Bought the 2-ring file for Kelly. The one that is hard covered. So when you hold it, you look professional. While hugging it, Kelly was like you want to buy land?

Raissa got the brush detergent which most beauty blogger recommend. She need to wash her brush since she use her blusher everyday.

Found this too. I prefer the no dates one. But that one is like with lines, and I prefer mine without so I can write as big or as small I want on that date. So, no choice but to get this. Even though my this year diary can last till March.

For gifts ideas. It was so puzzling and confusing as what to get. Have to get for the partners which is the hardest. The girls are alright but guys, nah.

End up settled by walking along Kinokuniya. With HM a long time ago, we saw these cute Jap magazines which include cute free gift, like bags or pouches. I wanted to get the the jewellery pouch as it was unique. There was no one that has it or made it or sell it. But the price was not worth it for my own use. For present though, it never hurt to pay more. So who loves more than to travel and bring along her rings collection. Tiany! She always tried to put on all her rings and wondering which one she should bring or use. Then she spend forever deciding. Now she can just put it in the pouch.

Then saw the MJ make up pouch, which just remind me of Raissa. So just get it for her.

Was looking for earrings for mami when I saw the this cute ribbon one. Remind me of JY with her obsession of ribbon before she and Hannes got together.

For someone who wanted to be an air stewardess in SQ, I got her my favourite eyeshadow in blue. That will teach her to learn t o apply blue. Well, if she is lucky she will get brown, but we shall see. Plus the cute waterproof pouch for travelling.

For Hannes who was staying at few places, I got him shaver. So he could have one for home and another at some place else, so he can shave in peace without having to bring it around.

Bram got something that smell baby powdery. A mini set of after shaving cream and cologne. Hope they like the smell.

The rest, food!

Rachel will get cute earrings.

For birthday pressies, I basically spend my whole pay check on Sop presents. So she better appreciate me. Kidding. She deserved something wonderful, other than her bf. Well and for sticking with me after all these years.

Michelle got a Burberry notebook. I hope she likes it. As she used to collect notebooks. It will be nice to get something extra for a 21st. And if she decide to use it, she can be in some cafe in Europe writing things down.

HM got her early present, I don't know if she received it yet. A cake pop maker. Hope it will helps her to be the best baker in the world.

Now after this, it will be Kalai birthday in Feb, followed by Yogi, Kelly, Raissa and the year will go on. It will be a never ending money spending year. I really do need to stop random shopping. But I just cant help myself. I want to buy so many nail polish. Help.
