I WANNA WATCH TOY STORY 3!

In the immortal exclamations of our three well-known, multi-eyed, green squeak-toyed aliens (in unison):

"OOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!"

YES PEOPLE!!! Toy Story is back on our shores and is hitting local silver screens this coming June! The upcoming film is the third installment of one of Disney Pixar's most successful big screen animation franchises, and the best part is that the movie is available in 3-D!

yea..see that lady with her hand up? I do that subconsciously sometimes..HA HA =_="

As of late the 3-D craze seems to have hit our famed Hollywood like a Tsunami bashing the shores of Hawaii (think Lilo and Stitch scurrying for shelter)

Errr...Okayyyy..They're not exactly scurrying for shelter but I think you get the picture.

Toy Story 3 depicts the story of our little toy friends now that their owner Andy is all grown up. Watching movies like this sort of takes you on a journey. I still remember watching the first Toy Story movie when I was so much younger and relating to the story about talking toys (back then I wished my toys could talk to me when I was lonely!)

Not only that, I'll sometimes wake up and check if my toys have moved from their original positions! lol

We're all probably well beyond that stage now and, well, lots of other things will stifle for our attention..

Just to name a few (the pictures should be self-explanatory).

But this movie is certain to bring you back to the days of your childhood and worryingly enough I may even start to wonder if toys really had feelings and/or came to life while I was sleeping!

I definitely can't wait to see Woody, Buzz and the old gang on their adventures again but needless to say, to keep things fresh, the producers have introduced some new characters to breathe new life into the story.

Looking through the new characters list and watching the trailer, I just couldn't help but notice this one particular fella.

ISN'T HE ADORABLE!!!!

I can't help but wish I had a bear who could say...'One of the first things you should know about me is that... I'm a HUGGER!' (watch out for the scene where after saying that he grabs Buzz)

Oh I swear I'll be the first one to grab a Lots-O-Huggin' Bear if I see it on a shelf at the toy store =D

OLD MAN! GIMME THAT!!

Ah well. This is one movie I'm definitely not going to miss! And not to mention a Spanish-speakin' Buzz?!

Movies, anyone?

Toodles!

An Asian Girl with A Black Woman's Hair

I had a bad bad bad bad bad hair day on the 22nd of May 2010.

This is the day when I officially transformed into a semi-black Asian girl.

I have a freaking Afro hair now.

Thanks to an "amazing hairstylist" who successfully burned my hair.

It feels like the dish-washer sponge.. not the soft one..but the hard and rough one..

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

I've a fairly decent picture of the Afro hair.. it looks better in the picture because you DON'T HAVE TO TOUCH IT. Coz if you do touch it... You'll seriously think it's grass or something like that..

=_="

It looks huge now right? Try imagining how it'll look like if I don't tie it up... unimaginable...

SOOOOOOOOOOOO..... what am I going to do about it??

I'm going to ask a PROFESSIONAL to save my hair. 

Who???

A lovely lady from A Cut Above.. She inspected my hair and said that she can try her best to save my hair.. She also added that my hair condition is the worst she's seen so far... and never NEVER to go back to the hairstylist I went to... Seriously, you kill me also I won't go back to that hairstylist..

Anyway, that hairstylist wants to take responsibility for my damaged hair so she said she'll TRY to save my hair by giving me free treatment... The lady from A Cut Above said, "How much free treatment she give you also your hair will still be like grass" =_=" 

Lol, but I'll just go to the old hairstylist and let her try her best to save my hair coz she's been messaging me to ask how's my hair and she's worried, etc. So, tomorrow I'll go get the free treatment, and if my hair is still like grass.. A Cut Above will be my last option to save my hair.. no matter how much it'll cost.. =(

So, wait a few more days and I'll post up a picture of a better looking hair.. hopefully..

Till then, toodles!!

Maria, Oh Maria!

Mua on da way to the West!!

After class, I went home to get ready for the night out with my parents^^

We left home at 7pm and reached Istana Budaya at around 8pm.. We collected out tickets and voila! We're finally going to watch the musical!! woooooott!!

Then, we had to wait for the doors to open.. Everyone hanged around and bought some snacks..while I took pictures with my dainty little phone.. ha ha..sorry folks.. no DSLR or any fancy camera yea =S

Not to forget..the signature toilet pose.. haha=P

At around 8:30pm, the doors opened and we all went to our respective seats.. The leg space was pretty tiny unfortunately.. It was worse for the white guy who was sitting next to me.. His legs could hardly move.. Hmm.. they should really upgrade the seats if they can afford it.. I heard quite a lot of people complaining about their seats dy.. 

Anyway, when the live orchestra started playing, I got really really really excited!! I knew most of the songs by heart because I've watched it since I was young and performed parts of the musical before in a performance when I was younger.. =D

However, as the show continued.. Around the end of the 1st part, people were starting to get restless.. Somehow, it was getting boring.. I'm not sure if it's because of the boring script; the familiarity of the whole plot; the lead singers; or the fact that we couldn't really catch what they were saying in the musical..(I'm not saying that they are all those I mentioned, they're just some possibilities why the musical gradually became boring) We couldn't wait for the break time to come..

After the break, the couple who was sitting beside me was missing and some people behind were missing too.. I'm not sure if they went home or they sneaked into the other floor with better seats below because a lot of the seats below were not occupied and the security did not check our tickets when we entered.. So, actually, anyone can enter just like that.. My gosh..

The 2nd half of the musical got a bit better because the songs were catchy.. However, the thing I didn't like about the musical was the main character who was playing Maria.. In my opinion, her voice is too mature for her character.. It sounds more like an older woman singing rather than a young girl singing.. So, throughout the musical, I really had problems with her voice because it disappointed me over and over again whenever she started singing.. It's not that her singing was bad, it's just that the tone of her voice did not suit the character well.. I've seen the original movie and the original singer's wayyyyyyy better and more suitable for the character.. So, yea... 

The other characters in the musical were awesome.. The guys are so hot and the girls sizzling!! They danced really really well too.. All the dancers were phenomenal and most of them could sing really well too!! Great, great job=D *clap clap*

The ending of the musical was a sad one because the lead guy character got murdered but it was expected..Overall, it was not as good as I expected it to be.. My mom was disappointed and I heard quite a few complains from other people as well.. The response from the audience during the curtain call wasn't something to be bragged either.. Their claps were quite half-hearted and I did not really see anyone giving a standing ovation clap... I'm really quite disappointed.. Boo-hoo=(

Anyway, I'm looking forward to future musicals... Currently, the best I've seen so far was Cats, Chicago, Phantom of the Opera and Annie.. I still have a lot more musicals to conquer!! My current favorite is definitely Cats, I can watch it over and over again.. It's brilliant.. Anyway, that's about it for now..

Good job to all the casts and crews for West Side Story!! You guys worked really hard however it can certainly be better.. Just change a few things here and there and voila, perfecto^^

Nite Nite Ppl!

Toodles!

I was rushing to class last Tuesday and the worst part was, I couldn't find the freaking class!! 5 of my classmates were also lost like me!!! We were all sweating and panting while searching for that darn classroom (oh, it's coz we changed classroom)

When we finally found the classroom, Jessica was presenting half way for her PR Presentation.. I was listening while trying to catch my breath... After her presentation, Jessica sat in front of me and reached into her bag and.........................................

TADA!!!!

IT came out!!! hahahahahhahhaaha.... HERSHEYS CHOCOLATES!!!

Woot!!!!!!!!!

Chocolates are orgasmic for me especially freaking HERSHEYS!!!!

I resisted the urge to try one of the chocolates because if I tried one, I wouldn't be able to stop! sobs=(

After class, I was caught in the jam on my way home.........I was freaking hungry......

Sitting nicely beside my seat was..................................... HERSHEYS!!!

My gosh.. How could I resist??? Dammit.

I took my first bite and omigosh....... I was eating while driving till I reached home!!! So dangerous okay!!! But seriously, it was crazily addictive, all your fault la Jess.... Ha ha.. But THANK YOU!!!!

I took a picture of the box when I got home, as you can see, it's empty dy.. bwahahahhahaa=D

 

 

THANK YOU BABE!!!

Surprise, Surprise!

I'm quite free now so I'll blog about my birthday surprise that happened last week=) Jody planned a surprise with the Activities Committee members and I really really appreciate all the time and effort put into it=)

30th April 2010

So, Last Friday, I was all dressed up for my PR presentation when I got an SMS from Jody. She said, "Sue, come earlier to uni, I've something urgent to tell you, I need help" Something around that line..

I kept thinking, "My goodness, what is so very urgent? Did something bad happen?"

I left home as soon as I can and drove to uni. She called me when I was almost reaching and asked me where I was. I said I was at the uni parking. She came to greet me while I was walking to uni and she said she had to grab her bag from the office.

I followed her to the office and I caught a glimpse of Jessica's blog site at the office's computer. I was thinking, 'Hmm, it looks like Jessica logged into the office computer but where is she?" Jody went into the meeting room and I followed. I saw a head bobbing behind the meeting table and knew something fishy was going on.

Jody switched on the lights and............... yea, you know what happened...

Everyone jumped up from behind the table and shouted, "Happy Birthday!!!"

My goodness, I was so shocked. My mouth was gaping wide for quite some time. Ha ha.

Thank you everyone for taking time off to give a birthday surprise. I know all of you had classes and assignments. Thank you Jody for the awesome Chocolate cake, everyone absolutely loved the cake^^ Last but not least, thank you Jody  for the wonderful birthday card and thanks everyone for writing really really sweet messages on the card.

I will always remember the moments we shared while planning the Monash Extreme Sports Carnival event.. You guys are like family=D I love all of you to bits^^

All I can say is, it's been a great 21st year for me so far^^ Woot!!!

Toodles!
