Caught in a bad romance

Am currently having a love-hate relationship with my new haircut.

Late thank yous

So I was unwrapping a chocolate bar in front of the laptop when suddenly a thought came to me, I haven't really said thanks to all the people who have sent me stuff by post! Oh the horror!

So, to all those whom I receive spoils from by mail:

From Yuwen. :)

Yuwen, my dearest ex-roommate! Thanks for the Xmas card and chocolates all the way from Wales! And you remembered that I love chocolates. Everything must have been quite expensive. :( Thanks so much for being such a nice rommmate, couldn't have asked for a better one. :)

Card on far left is from Marie.

Marie! Thanks for the bday card, chocolates and the 14 wonderful years of friendship! Am looking forward to our outing this coming Jan 2010!

Mum! Thanks for the bday present and card. Loved the top. Sorry, no picture.

And...

To the various blogshops I've ever bought from, big thanks for your attention, some for your free postage and, finally, for delivering my spoils to the post office! Cheers to online shopping! *nudges Hui Li, Roni, Kristy, Wai Yi and Adeline*

Like Alethea, I absolutely love receiving snail mails, be it letters, postcards, cards or parcels. So to those who haven't already sent me their love via snail mail, hurry, do so! I'll love you even more. :P

The 100 Worst Movies of 2009

Why are my chatbox and links at the bottom of this page? Can someone enlighten me as to how to fix this problem. It has been irking me for weeks!

Rants aside, found this list on Times Online. Here's the link: http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/film/article6884281.ece?token=null&offset=84&page=8

In case you are too lazy to open the link, here's the list of 100 WORST MOVIES OF 2009 lovingly and carefully typed in no particular order for your perusal:

2012 - I second the motion cos I've heard really awful reviews from my friends. Plus, it is not really my kind of genre.

12 Rounds

Beverly Hills Chihuahua - I actually watched this. Stumbled across it somewhere by coincidence. It was nothing worth mentioning and the Chihuahuas can get pretty annoying. And their owners too! The saving grace for this movie was the very brave German Shepard.

Chandni Chowk to China

Confessions of a Shopaholic - I personally disliked the character Becky Bloomwood after reading the novel.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Shocked that this movie made it to the list. It was beautifully portrayed, so I thought. And Brad Pitt was spectacular. Alas, it strayed from the book heftily, which was really sad.

Doghouse

F***

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past - Okay. This one was so-so for me. It didn't leave a lasting impression. I couldn't feel the chemistry between Jen Garner and Matt McConaughey. Dialogues were blah. Jen Garner was quite sexy though.

Gigantic

Good

The Proposal - NOOOOOOOO. I love the combo of Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. But then again, I didn't sense that Ryan actually developed feelings for Sandra till almost the end. -.-

Public Enemies

The Reader - Very x-rated. Nuff said.

Revolutionary Road

The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 2

Soi Cowboy

Telstar

Terminator Salvation

The Unborn

X-Men Origins: Wolverine - OBJECTION OBJECTION! The prequel was I thought, very cleverly thought of. It was not cliche and the ending was unpredictably good cos it connects to the reason why Wolverine is well, Wolverine! Anyway, who would say no to Hugh Jackman's drool-worthy rock hard muscles?

31 North 62 East

Hannah Montana: The Movie - Yes, laugh if you must cos I've watched this movie. Just to satisfy my curiosity. It was a feel-good movie, breezy and not to be taken seriously. Yet another teen flick.

Harry Brown

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - Okay I think this instalment was quite poorly executed. There was way too much focus on teenage angst and sexual chemistry. Ron looked better in this movie compared to the previous two.

Inglourious Basterds

The Informers

Land of the Lost

The Last House on the Left

Little Ashes

The Lovely Bones (I still want to watch this!)

Night at the Musuem 2 - Two word to sum this movie: Terrible and annoying. The first one was so much better and funnier.

Outlander

Aliens in the Attic

Amelia

Angels and Demons - I was surprised to see this movie in the list. It was not spectacular, but it was relatively good. They made a wise choice in making Ewan McGregor the Pope's right-hand man. Unexpected, but a wise choice, nevertheless.

Antichrist

Beautiful Losers

Beyond the Fire

The Boat that Rocked

Born in 68

Bride Wars - Deserves to be here I think. It was fickle and childish. Anne Hathaway may look beautiful and flawless but her acting fell short for this one.

Bright Star

The Broken

Couples Retreat - Oh dear, this one just tries tooooooo hard. The jokes weren't very smart or funny, they came across as plain lame. It also gets really gross at some parts. Kristin Davis, I'm so disappointed in you!

Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant

Clubbed

Dance Flick

Dead Man Running

Delta

Dragonball Evolution

Driving Aphrodite

Embodiment of Evil

Fast and Furious

Fired Up

Flash of Genius

French Film

Friday the 13th

G-Force

GI Joe: Rise of the Cobra

He's Just Not That Into You - I had really high hopes for this movie at first because of the strong cast; Scarlett Johansson, Ben Affleck, Jen Aniston... But it became a recipe for disaster, sadly. :(

Jack Said

Knowing

Lalapipo

Last Chance Harvey

Lesbian Vampire Killers

The Life Before Her Eyes

Mad, Sad and Bad

Marley and Me - Poignant and tugs at the heartstrings. I suppose it would only appeal to dog-lovers in general. My mum found Marley very annoying but I found him so sweet and endearing. And its really refreshing to see that this is not one of the yet-another-animal-voice-over-movie that is the trend today.

Martyrs

Mega Shark v. Giant Octopus

Mr. Right

My Sister's Keeper (I still want to watch this!)

New in Town

Not Easily Broken

Obssessed

Passchendaele

Paul Blart: Mall Cop

The Pink Panther 2

Push

The Red Baron

Red Mist

Reverb

Seven Pounds (I still have this movie in my hard disk, am having second thoughts whether I should watch or not. Hmmm...)

Shadows in the Sun

Sorority Row (I still wanna watch this! I've never seen Rumer Willis act!)

The Spell

The Spirit

Summer Scars

Surveillance

Taking Woodstock

Tormented

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - This was really boring, to me. Hope this doesn't offend the select few fans out there. *grins sheepishly* At least, Megan Fox was hot and Shia's mum was funny.

The Ugly Truth - OH NO! This movie was totally original. The dialogues were witty and catchy. Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler just NAILED their respective parts. I disagree with it ending up in this list! :<

The Unborn

Viva

Year One (I still wanna watch this!)

Miss March

Meanwhile...

Calling all musical fans! Another musical is coming out! Its titled Nine. Cast is fantastic with 3 Oscar winners to boot - Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard, and Penelope Cruz (slurps). Kate Hudson and Daniel Day Lewis also stars. Being an avid fan of musicals, I can't wait to catch this one!

The entry above is entirely based on my own opinion, so yeah, just take it or leave it. I only comment about movies I've watched before (the ones in YELLOW highlight) except for 2012, which I haven't watched, but heard plenty of bad reviews. So, yeah, thats that.

Hmmm, before I end this long-ish post, don't forget to tell me how to fix my layout! Thanks!

<3,

Jessica

Home

HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


*puts on imaginary crown and sits on imaginary throne*


Much to do. Uni stuff (oh gawd) and outings with family and friends!

Am looking forward to the treasure hunt, guys!

Happy Holidays, y'all!




p/s: I miss Fiona Fong. :(

Short break from assignment-ing

In response to Quin's love for Threadless tees, I will introduce to you my new tee discovery! Click here!

In case you're lazy, I'll just put some pictures up for you to get an idea about the t-shirts in the website.

Caution: Can be suggestive. But wittily so.

Perhaps this will appeal to you Law students?

So me. Say aye aye if you agree to this!

Try this with your calculator.

Leaving this to your interpretation.

QUIT SMOKING!

Just for laughs if indeed you find them funny.

Back to work!

3 more days to deadline. 5 more days to HOME.

In Christmas mood already. <3>

Just because

If I buy that pair of 4" beauties, it would:

1. I presume, kill me when I walk in them.

2. Not forgetting that it would add another 10cm to my current 170cm frame. So I'll be 180cm tall in them (unbelievable!)

3. And with that, I'll be taller than MOST guys. Yay?

4. They're totally not meant for classes and my seasonal shopping sprees. In other words, impractical.

5. I know I'd wear them only on really special occasions. You know I'd choose flip-flops and flats over sky-high heels any day.

6. And I sure as hell would not walk like a VS model strutting down a runway when I wear them.

7. I'm sure mum will have loads to say if I get them! *gulps*

But they're oh-so gorgeous! And I couldn't come up with 10 reasons to not buy them!

So, to buy or not to buy?!

Decisions, decisions.

Okay, snap snap, end of bimbo talk and back to Land Law assignment.

I grant you the permission to snigger/snort/roll eyes/LOL.

Till the next time I blog!

p/s: I will be going home soon! :D

Hearts!

"Jess darlinggggggggggg =) I want your short bread!!! Send it to me! I'll share it with Ale :D"

A dear dear friend by the name of Abir has just made my day!

It has been quite awhile since we last talked, honey. Properly.

I miss you, woman. And you too Ale.

So much.

xoxo indefintely,

Jessica

p/s: I suddenly feel I'm quite good in PDA. :P

Life imitating art. Now.
