Plain, Simple and Pink

My girlfriend Angela has always badgered me to do more on my blog. Post pictures! Links! Have music and err.. I can't recall what else. I think if I gave her free rein, I think it will look a lot better than its current state. Babe, you want to try?

But I have never done more than to colour the background and text and change the fonts. Apart from my ineptitude with the simplest of tech, I found that self-expression pervades everything in my life and that translates to Plain and Simple.

My clothes, bedroom, scrapbooks, photo albums, Facebook account, and almost everything says the same thing. It's always be plain (rarely patterned) colours, decorated in a way that's almost childish. If I took photos of my wardrobe, shoe cupboard, scrapbooks and bedroom, you'll know what I mean.

Maybe it's a Virgo thing.

Some of My Favourite Quotes

Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.

When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.

To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.

Movie Review!

Latest movies watched:

1. Iron Man

2. What Happens in Las Vegas

Who would've thought Robert Downey JR was actually quite a good fit to play the annoying self-involved weapons designer cum ladies man? Perfect amount of smug and seriousness and drywit, I applaud the consummate actor for being perfectly believable as Tony Stark. Not the usual, kazillionaire-by-day and drowning-in-angst vigilante by-nite (Batman where art thou?), this superhero actually loves being one and thinks nothing of flaunting the must have outfit and gadgetry, which in this case, is very probably not made of iron, in broad daylight. My mother would have approved of the colour combi. Very auspicious.

Poor Gwyneth though. Pepper Potts really dumbed down this smart blonde. No wonder they dyed her hair red for this movie. Also very auspicious lah. I'd say all the ang worked. Look at the amount of money the movie made at the box office.

On the chick-com side, What Happens in Vegas is the usual cute but perfectly predictable rom-com starring the perfectly likable Ashton and Cameron. All perfect hair and perfect teeth and both very tall. But Cameron looks like she overdid the spray tan. What issit about the ang mohs and their obsession with "sunkissedness"?
Dounch unnerstand. Pefectly forgettable movie. I felt a mite ripped off cos it felt like a lame movie by 2 stars capable of better stuff but decided to boost their bank accounts by having a lot of fun on-screen at our expense.
