OH EM GEE. It's been awhile hasn't it!

*blows dust off blog*

Time for a revamp!

Recently stumbled across this awesome blog called Color Me Katie, I thought it was really inspiring and fun to read. I'll be using Katie's blog as my inspiration for the new look and direction of my blog.

First step: Find a template that screams What a Colourful and Wonderful Life! Any suggestions?

Oh yeah! This is another easy one by Nuffnang. I heart Nuffnang so much. They offer bloggers so much, that it encourages me to keep on blogging!

Just have to find this hidden image within 2 bloggers' blog. So so simple. Now I just hope I'll get the invites.



SHERLOCK HOLMES
In a dynamic new portrayal of Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous characters, “Sherlock Holmes” sends Holmes and his stalwart partner Watson on their latest challenge. Revealing fighting skills as lethal as his legendary intellect, Holmes will battle as never before to bring down a new nemesis and unravel a deadly plot that could destroy the country.

The action-adventure mystery “Sherlock Holmes” is helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Guy Ritchie, for Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures. Robert Downey Jr. brings the legendary detective to life, and Jude Law stars as Holmes’ trusted colleague, Watson, a doctor and war veteran who is a formidable ally for Sherlock Holmes. Rachel McAdams stars as Irene Adler, the only woman ever to have bested Holmes and who has maintained a tempestuous relationship with the detective. Mark Strong stars as their mysterious new adversary, Blackwood. Kelly Reilly plays Watson’s love interest, Mary.

I know I'm going to enjoy this movie because I absolutely adore the cast! Especially Rachel McAdams and oh boy isn't Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr a delicious combo?

Dear friends, if you want to get a chance to watch this awesome movie with me. Wish me luck! Cheers!

It's been really crazy with assignments - thesis writing, web design project, meeting deadlines and preparing for work next week. I still found time to attend some awesome events. Yeah me!

There was Chic Pop Street Market 2, held at Zouk KL, last Sunday. It's organized by my favourite online fashion blog - Tongue in Chic. They always have cool stuffs like this going on.

I bought a bag and a dress and it only cost me RM70. Splurge!

There was this Yahoo! booth and they gave out tags and stencils as invitation to their Youreka! Finale Party which went down yesterday.

Youreka! Finale Part organized by Yahoo!, sponsored by Adidas and can't remember who. Hosted by JJ and Ean and featuring performances by Bunkface. The highlight for this party was the challenge among those who got the purple tag. We were there to watch 13 people play musical chair and dressed up in Sumo suits to compete for a MacBook Air and Blackberry Phones. How sad! The plus was there were quite some interesting booths and SWAG. I really enjoyed Bunkface's performance and I left early.



Bunkface! Cute lead singer. Great performance.

The final challenge between two remaining finalists, arrange the letters in a Sumo suit. The girl won. The rest walked away with Blackberry Curve phones and Adidas shoes.

I got a chance to wear my boots with the top I bought from Chic Pop Street Market. If you think boots are awesome too say Aye!

Alright, no more events or parties on my calender for now. Till next time, toodles!

Order Updates

Yes! I've finally watched the movie after it began showing 2 weeks ago. I watched it with my mom and we brought a big pack of tissue with us. We always need that for soppy movies.

We enjoyed the movie, it was funny and sad all at the same time. We cried a lot when Henry died. The storyline of the movie was different from the book. Some characters and important settings were omitted. I shall not go into details, there's too many and I'm too lazy.

The movie is quite light, not as depressing as the book. In the book, Clare practically waits for Henry her entire life, until she turns old. In the movie, Clare managed to see Henry one last time and he asked her to 'stop waiting'. It gives viewer a sense of contentment and the 'happy ending'. But I prefer the book's version, as it is somewhat more tragic, sad and it reminds readers that people can't control fate. And I like it that way.

What I love about the movie is the beginning. I think they chose the perfect scene to start the story - where the Henry's mother dies and he time traveles for the first time. What I don't like was this major prop continuation error that was so obvious, you just can't miss it. It happens after Henry's vasectomy, he was at Clare's studio telling her what he had done. Clare was doing her work and that's where you can see the major continuation error on her workstation. If you missed it, you must be blinded by Rachel McAdams pretty face (and I think I can forgive you for that).

Overall, this movie is worth watching. It's great to see how they translate everything onto the big scree. The movie gives you a different feeling from the book, not that I'm complaining. I also adore Rachel McAdams (from The Notebook). So I rank it 7/10. If you haven't read the book, please go read it. You don't know what you're missing out on.

The band at the wedding that was playing during Clare and Henry's first dance was awful. Wrong song for such a beautiful occasion. Minus 1 point!

I didn't see this scene in the movie! I rank 3/10 for TGV Sunway Pyramid.

The end bit - suspense.

This is how the book look like, just in case you are interested in buying it!

(500) Days of Summer will be placed way up there with What Dreams May Come. The movie is so fantastic, it's beyond words. I'm not just talking about the storyline (not that shallow). The cinematography is good and the acting is good. It's the best movie I've watched this year. The Soundtrack is out of this world too!

Here is a little snip-it - my favourite part!


I can't wait to get the DVD. (hint: Christmas is 2 months away). Enjoy!
