Something funny happened today! A group of tourists came into the shop and bought some clothes. They obviously know their stuff cos they know which clothes belong to which fashion house. They asked me where could they get good copies of bags as well. Here's something he said, which I found really thought-provoking: Tourist: Where can we get copies of bags? Because we see a lot of young girls carrying those branded bags? And they are young girls, not rich, you know? Oh gosh! He wasn't being mean or anything, he just voiced out what he really felt. I so wanted to laugh out right there! I could only think of 3 reasons why he would think that way: 1) The bags are BAD copies. 2) The tourists dun think Singaporeans could afford the bags. 3) The " young girls" just CANNOT carry it off. Go figure.

The food at Ma Maison is delicious!!! Fantastic, authentic Japanese/western fusion cuisine!!! I have to agree with Sam that it's pretty hard to find good Jap food that is cheap (in Singapore that is.) Please don't tell me Sakae, Edo Sushi or Yuki/Yaki whatever, I swear off those places because the food is terrible. Unauthentic is one thing, unfresh ingredients is another thing. It's totally not worth it at all despite their low prices. I'ld rather not dine there at all. Sushi Tei is all right. Like scrap-through pass. So far we discovered a Japanese dine-in at Far East which uses really fresh ingredient and hand-made sushi (not some fucking flimsy ones made using machines). Although its authenticity is still improvable but at least the generous servings and freshness makes the prices seem reasonable. But the chef (only one) is quite hot tempered and with only one more auntie helping with orders and serving, the meal is a very fast business. Moreover, its only about 15 ...

It was fantastic. Unlike most other adapted-from-books movies, the movie Stardust was actually comparable or even better than the book! Maybe because Neil Gaiman was very active in the production of the movie? Possibly. It was definitely still very much a fantasy but with lots of old school romance in it. Claire Danes was perfect as Yvaine with her ethereal beauty and Charlie Cox was great at projecting his role as a "useless, hopeless, dreamy shop boy". But is it me or is Claire Danes starting to look a little old? Nevermind, she's still a great beauty. Robert DeNiro was of course, charming as a "whoopsie", Michelle Pfeiffer really fiesty and the guard of the Wall was absolutely hilarious! There were some differences between the story and the movie but I shall not bore you with a list of them. What better way to find out than to read the book and watch the movie yourself? I prefer the differences cos that way, you won't feel like you're reading the ...

Ya ya ya. So high electricity and water bill is my fault. His lousy result is my fault. His stupidity is my fault. His arrogance and ignorance is my fault. And I still have to bear with the dirty house and everyone's unhygienic habits. What next? Moving out sounds like a nice move.
