Public Enemies

The movie Public Enemies is coming to a cinema near you in 2009. Based on a true story and staring Johnny Depp who plays the baddie and Christian Bale, the FBI agent trying to catch him. Who will win the game?? Johnny or Christian?? Hhmn...

Although based on an era that does not interest me with fashion that does nothing for me... But...

My forever Hollywood crush and my current crush in a movie!! It cannot come sooner to a cinema near me. Yes!! Yes!! Yes!!

Poopy-Time Fun Shapes

For the days when nothing much is happening or you are completely uninspired, blogging can be tedious business. However a quick search on the net will usually yield a thing or two that is worth mentioning and for the world to think WTF!

Presenting the Poopy-Time Fun Shapes for kids. You insert the smooth end up your kid's a****** and he/she poos out stars or hearts. Wow!! So glamorous!! But... What if the poo is watery?? How hard must he/she squeeze to get the poo into shape?? How to clean it after use??

This is of course a joke (I hope!). Another quick search will tell you that there is no info on where to buy this (if ever you are thinking of getting it, I won't judge). Creative nutjob. Makes life interesting.

Lug a Tag

Every year I wreck my brain thinking what to get for friends for their birthday. For me, usually I share presents as it is an easier way out and my friends would have thought of what to buy. They would ask if I wanted to share. I say yes and that's all. Sometimes I go along to get the gift together sometimes it is already bought but in all it is not a harrowing experience. For me, there is nothing worse than getting the wrong gift or buying a useless thing that the receiver has absolutely no use for.

This year I decided to get my lazy butt off the couch and come up with something that my friends could use and is special to each of them.

After weighing all my choices, I narrowed down to the fact that all my friends loves to travel and decided to sew each of them a personalized luggage tag. This is the prototype that is going to Becky. I have blanked out part of her address coz I don't think she'd want the whole world (actually only people reading this) to know where she lives.


To all my friends whom I have asked for addresses, you know now what you will be getting from me for your birthday. Hope it is not an anti climax.

Bookworm

People who knows me well will know that I am actually a bookworm. I remember when we were young, my parents used to dump my brothers and me at the library while they go about running errands. At first it was boring and we did not really do anything there but in the end we decided what the heck and began exploring. And thus began our love affair with books.

Maybe its due to the fact that I grew up with brothers, I tend to favour storybooks for boys more. My favourite being The Hardy Boys. I remember having bought a few too but my father gave it away when I was in Melbourne!! I was quite angry when I found out.

Many years passed and I began reading other books. Stephen King, Anne Rice, Amy Tan and assorted witchcraft and paranormal stuff. Den I got into recipe books, craft and comics. Den one day all of a sudden, I see a Hardy Boys book at the book shop. Bought it and wham! the old feeling comes back and I am hooked again. Too bad they only have the early teen version at the shops. The story when Frank and Joe are solving crimes with their chum Chet. It was written at a time when there is no internet or mobile phones and they seem quite ok when we were young. Now its still good in a wholesome kinda way but we much prefer the updated version called Casefiles where people die and there are internet and terrorist.

One day while aimlessly walking about (Hey!! I am single I do that often), I chanced upon a second hand bookshop that sells a lot of Hardy Boys and I dug for hours trying to lay my hands on all of them. They are not expensive. About $2 - $3.50 per book. So I bought a lot of it. My brother was so happy when he saw it and has been reading it with me ever since.

This is just 30%-40% of what I bought. The single one that I want the most is Brother Against Brother (The Hardy Boys Casefiles #11) which I have not been able to find. I want it!!!!!!! I want!! I want!!

Also a recent read for me is American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis. Due to the fact that my crush of the moment is Christian Bale. I have seen this movie before but I thought I should read the book as well.

I also got Cher to get the movie for me from HK. Thanks Cher for lugging it back for me!! Domo Arigato!!

Dancefusion

Linda and me met up and went for Cher's dance school's open house. There was a few dance workshops and some food and no I did not participate in any of the workshops. The sight of a piece of wood trying to move to the music would be too much for everyone.

After the workshop, Cher and her group performed a dance routine for everyone and boy was she good!! Keep up the good work!!

Morty and her Pillow

My girl and her little pillow. My sis in law gave them this pillow. She dun usually sleep like that but it happens.

That night I missed my baobei so much I cried uncontrollably, that night she peed on me. I think she's telling that she is still there for me again.

After that she began peeing on me more esp after I play with Lego coz I think she is jealous of him.

It seems like they are beginning to bond. Sometimes my girl wants to lie by him and vice versa. But after a few seconds they fight. So crossing fingers...

Chinese New Year 2009

Backlog...

This is a photo of my friend Jo and El's baby boy Joel that was taken during Chinese New Year this year. Every year the whole Nafa bunch will go to Sebas' house to celebrate - meaning gamble.

Joel is really cute and its quite funny because Joel will get very excited when he sees things that is round (eg balls and cars with wheels) that he can roll around. In this photo, Joel was playing with a few oranges that, Jess, her hubby Ryan and me were rolling around. Cuteness!!
