last week, i watched a movie and went to sentosa for a one night stay.

this week, i had a NE trip and i celebrated x'mas and went library again.

sentosa's rlly changed alot esp since i havent been there in a year alr. there's so much construction going on and the place has been revamped that it rlly looks A WHOLE LOT COOLER than before. perhaps this is all in bid to keep up with the government's dream of THE PERFECT IR [integrated resort] or smth.

oh yes, the movie i caught was 'enchanted' with a few of my new-found friends on the SA-tour. there were 5 guys and ME, the only girl. =( but it was nice catching up with them and i guess we are pretty successful cause this is the first time that after a 'LONG TRIP' tour, i have gone out with the friends i made. the last one was 2 yrs back - my korea/japan trip. we alr have had 2 gatherings - WITHOUT THE ADULTS. =P

so YES the movie.

i give it 3 stars. 1 star because its a disney production, 1 star because it's enjoyable and another star for the child-friendly storyline. =)

the plot is simply: cartoon princess magically appears in reality because her evil stepmother-in-law 'magicked' her. so she tries to find her way back to CARTOON LAND [which in this case is called 'Andalacia'] and find her Prince Charming, but ends up falling in love with a divorced attorney with a cute daughter. AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER. THE END.

=/ anyway, the funny thing is that i only recognise the male leads in this film. there's Patrick Dempsey AKA Dr. Mcdreamy from Grey's Anatomy and he plays the divorced attorney. there's James Marsden [yah i think he is more handsome than Patrick Dempsey actually =] who plays the self-obsessed Prince Edward and BOY CAN HE SING AND HE'S ALREADY DONE THAT IN HAIRSPRAY!!! =) finally, there's timothy squall who is more famously known as Peter Pettigrew in the movie HP3.

i just don't register any female faces from this movie, strange enough. =/

yah i went to sentosa with my younger cousins and we had dinner at vivo. saw ky at vivo. probably picking up some stuff frm pet safari for the kitten? speaking of which, i havent got to see the cat yet. SOMEBODY INVITE ME OR I WLD JUST INVITE MYSELF. =P

just kidding. =)

went along with my mum for her FAMILY DAY THNG organised by the RSAF. =P it was just a walk around little india and to explore the religious places nearby. we went to a church as well as a mosque. VERRRRRY INTERESTING. =) but had to wake up very extremely early - abt 7 plus. [my eyelids couldn't WAKE UP or more likely - couldn't STAY OPEN!] but i guess it was worth it. i learned alot of thngs about my own religion and others as well. going to the mosque was rlly an eye-opener. it was all so tranquil and clean.

i'm not very gd with descriptions AM I? =(

christmas is always a fun time for me. not because of presents but purely because my nephews and nieces are here!!! =D i'm always glad to see them. that's why i took on the role of a babysitter. I DIDN'T CALL MYSELF THAT BUT MY COUSIN DID. =P it's amazing how you can just connect with kids as long as you have some markers and papers. =) i rlly do enjoy spending time with kids cause they are rlly spontaneous and they speak their minds. and when they talk about something that they are rlly intrigued by or passionate about, they speak with lots of hand gestures and they speak RLLY FAST.

HAHAHA. =D

i'm not sure how you guys feel about kids - but for me, i think they rlly are little angels with occasionally a devilish side to them. =)

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. =/

actually wanted to watch the 'Dr Seuss' show but i missed a whole lot of it so i decided to watch 'Peter Pan' instead. i like 'Peter Pan' mainly because of the two leads - Wendy and Peter. A NICE WATCH. =)

went out with ham and jyn on wed. we went to library first to do some major BOOK BORROWING. i got 2 detective novels, 2 guides to cartooning, 'Little Women' [shld read it if i want to do Eng Lit in Uni - I GUESS] and a BIG BOOK OF NATIONAL INSULTS. =)

some RLLY HILARIOUS EXCERPTS:

Everybody has the right to pronounce foreign names as he chooses. - Winston Churchill.

Alliance, n. In international politics, the union of two theives who have their hands so deeply in each other's pocket that they cannot separately lunder a third. - Ambrose Bierce.

France is a dog-hole. - William Shakespeare.

>> and many more equally horrid sounding quotes from prestigious people in politics.

MAN, I NEVER KNEW THAT POLITICIANS HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR. =P

after our visit to the library, we went to orchard for some walking and window-shopping. NOT THAT WE BOUGHT ANY WINDOWS cause everything is so expensive nowadays. =P had lunch at macs in TAKA and we went to a music shop - GRAMOPHONE. i've been there before and usually their cds are quite pricey. but it IS A GOOD MUSIC SHOP!!! =) it even has relient k! and Mêlée!!! =) =) =) [now that i think about it, i shld have bought relient k's album or the AAR's album but not enough $$$.] ='(

in the end i still got an album anyway, as part of a x'mas present to myself. =)

YESYESYES JASON MRAZ. =) =) =) and i love his music and i 'kind-of' regret not going to watch him when he came to s'pore a few years back for the Mosaic Music Festival. but the tickets were SO EX. =( at least i got his album now.

=) i love 'please don't tell her' and 'clockwatching'. the other 2 tracks that i know very well are 'wordplay' and 'geek in the pink', but his other songs are nice too - some have jazz influences. =) and he is RLLY CREATIVE. his lyricsbook is RLLY colourful.

when i was paying at the cashier and the guy passed me the plastic bag, jyn said 'without music, life would be a mistake' and the cashier guy was like 'THAT'S RIGHT' or 'TRUE TRUE'. and i half-smiled cuz it was rlly so interesting. only when i got home did i realise that jyn was reading the GRAMOPHONE PLASTIC BAG TAGLINE!!! [-.-"] wahlao, i'm rlly too blur alr.

ham bought james morrison's album as well as Mêlée. ZOMG I LOVE MELEE TOO. =/

so i got the jason mraz album at a steal price. WHY? cause we went to music junction at TBP and the price of the album was a WHOPPING $20.90!!! and i got it for 10 BUCKS ONLY!!!

damn lucky larh! =)

oh yah, they also have other indie music there but we couldn't find any john mayer album except for one small measley album that cost a BOMB. =/ OH WELLS.

okayy, so that was abt it.

shall update mre soon. PEACE OUT. o.0
