So I guess I finally "cracked" and made one, haha. Will be blogging there more from now on.
Gorgeous movie soundtracks. September 27, 2010 @ 12:35:00 AM
Been listening to a lot of movie soundtracks recently. Here are three of my favourites. They're absolutely gorgeous. <3 And I think all of them are by Hans Zimmer. He is amazing. Take a listen!
Hiatus. August 18, 2010 @ 11:43:00 PM
Meh.
Guess I'm pretty much done with blogging. At least for now.
Life's been rather busy lately. I am in my final year of college, and I'm determined to do well!
Maybe I should consider getting a tumblr instead..?
Romeo + Juliet. August 7, 2010 @ 1:18:00 AM
Hahaha check this out.
It's an excerpt from the 1968 film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet.
The dialogue is freaking awesome!
Imagine if we still spoke like that today.
That would be so cool. Seriously.
Movie and blah. July 31, 2010 @ 1:38:00 PM
I finally got to go see Inception last Thursday!
I went to see it at Orchard Cineleisure with Matthew and Sherlene (Serena was supposed to go with us as well but backed out at the last minute because she started feeling unwell all of a sudden), and although I really enjoyed it, I have to admit that it wasn't as satisfying as I thought it would be. But it was still an amazing film.
I guess that's what you get when you anticipate something way too much xD There's a higher possibility of feeling somewhat disappointed in the end.
But please don't get me wrong, it was a good movie. Hahaha okay I'll stop talking about that for now xD
Anyway, after the movie we walked around for a while, and look what I saw outside of Paragon:
That, my dear friends, is a huge queue (you can't see everything just from this photograph) for...
This. The iPhone 4. Or rather, for the "unbeatable plans" for it. Not sure if this was from Singtel, Starhub or whatever, but it's not like I really care. I don't use phone plans and I'm certainly not that interested in owning an iPhone. And I'm most definitely not willing to queue hours just for it.
RANDOM:
Look what I found in a washroom at the Cathay yesterday:
Was contemplating whether to bring it to the concierge or something, but then I decided against it in case the person remembers that she left it in there and goes back for it. Anyway, I decided to post it because of the hilarious Justin Bieber folder inside, HAHAHAHA.
Last night I went to the 2010 Festival of Praise with people from my cell group. It was held at the Singapore Indoor Stadium and that was the first time that I've ever been there xD
So, first we met as a group at the new Stadium MRT station, and check out the washrooms:
I've probably seen a queue to the male washroom less than five times in my life. Why is it so? Is the female population larger? Do ladies have smaller bladders? Do guys hate going to public washrooms more than women? It is such a mystery.
The queue to get inside. Thank goodness we didn't have to line up for very long. We were inside the stadium about ten minutes after joining the queue.
The view from my seat inside the indoor stadium. Not too bad, but far from "front row", hahaha.
I'm pretty sure the event was full house that night, and according to Wikipedia, the maximum capacity of the Singapore Indoor Stadium is 12,000.
Praise and worship was led by Planetshakers...
... and Don Moen!
There were a couple of messages, and yeah. It was a great night. Last night's was the first night of the event, and there's going to be another one tonight but I'm not going.
I have homework to do ):
Window Shopping! July 24, 2010 @ 9:44:00 PM
Today was fun!
I explored almost every inch - okay, exaggeration alert - of Orchard Road.
I went to: ION Orchard. Ngee Ann City. Forum. Mandarin Gallery. Paragon.
Hm, is that all? Feels like I went to a lot of places xD Oh well, hahaha.
Anyway, I went to these places to do some serious window shopping.
I didn't buy a thing from any of those places, mostly because the only shops I went into were high-end luxury designer brands, hahahaha.
My communication skills lecturer wants us to go out and explore designer shops and try the clothes on every once in a while so we can sometimes get ideas for our own collections.
A really cool assignments, no? xD
Anyway, I didn't really try on that many things because it can be quiteintimidating to go into a store where clothes are more expensive than most gadgets.
The sales assistants were nice, but I'm the type who hates trying on a whole bunch of things while knowing that I'm not going to buy a single one of them.
Pictures!
I loved this dress! But... it's from Louis Vuitton and it's SGD5150.
And I was so happy because this is a size S and I could fit it! :D
Really cool shirt from a designer called Robert Rodriguez.
I've forgotten exactly how much it was but it definitely in the hundreds.
This rather simple blouse is from one of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's fashion lines, Elizabeth & James. I'll admit it's pretty cool but the price is not worth it. Almost SGD500! What I liked about this was a zip at the back of the shirt. If you want the blouse to be slightly more loose-fitting, you can undo the zip, and zipping it back up again would obviously make it a little more form-fitting.
Really poofy cute skirt from Miu Miu. SGD1500.
Gorgeous jacket from MaxMara. SGD999. Not practical to be worn here in Singapore 98% of the time, though.
The lipstick prints on the dress remind me of Katy Perry, for some reason xD That and the gorgeous blazer are from Marc by Marc Jacobs. The jacket was going for half price, but even so it was more than SGD250 xD I think the dress was over SGD1000.
Well, like I said, I had a lot of fun, haha.
Might have been even more fun if I could actually afford them! xD
Attention Span Deterioration. July 22, 2010 @ 6:58:00 PM
The human attention span is definitely getting shorter and shorter.
It's scary.
Let me use myself as an example.
Back in 2003, when I was a wee form one student, I had the habit of handwriting every detail I could remember about my day into a personal diary. I did it almost every single day.
I kept this habit up until I was in form three or four. By the time I was in form five the dates on my diary entries started getting further and further apart from each other. I guess it had something to do with the fact that I started my first blog on Xanga in 2005.
Handwritten diary to blog. First step of attention span shortening.
Okay, so, my blog. I remember updating it quite often.
A lot more often than I do now, at least.
When I look through the archives of this blogspot, the differences are quite obvious.
Lots of pictures. Quite a lot of detail and thought put into each post.
Right now, this post I'm typing out right now is probably the "deepest" I've written in a while.
The era of blogging is sort of a thing of the past now.
Because now, there are two [not that] new kids on the block.
Tumblr and Twitter.
Now, I have nothing against these at all.
I love Twitter.
It's quick, it's easy to use, and it's fun.
I still haven't really gotten to understand the appeal of Tumblr, though xD
But yeah, you see my point, right?
Anyway, just another one of my ocassional rants.
I was going to do a detailed post of my family trip to the Sabah Agricultural Park, but almost all of the photographs I took on the trip are on my Facebook already, hahaha.
Another one of the short attention span culprits xP
I wonder what's next, though. What could beat Tumblr and Twitter in terms of being so quick and limited?
