Shopping trip in Bugis today! I bought pretty strappy sandals, some facial essentials from Beaute de Kose and a feminine-looking peasant top from Levis. Spending more than $120 at the Kose entitled me to a free beauty bag with samples of cleanser, toner, moisturiser and a hydrating gel mask! I'm such a sucker for free cosmetic samples. :-) All this was topped off by a delicious meal of vegetarian wonton noodles (I think "wanton noodles" sounds hilarious; what, your noodles are lewd, malicious or lascivious is it?! Yet it's such a common sight on the signboards of stalls in our local hawker centres. heehee. ) so needless to say, I'm one contented girl.
Lounging at home due to the absence of employment has made me quite a TV junkie. I'm hooked onto shows on afternoon TV (Ellen Ellen Ellen!!!) and it's more glamourous cousin --- primetime television, and I'm quite ashamed to admit that I've recently been forgoing my evening skipping sessions just to catch 'So You Think You Can Dance' on Channel 5. Yes, I know, I know! Sheesh...the knowing smirks......
Anyway, I managed to catch 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days' at 10 p.m. on Wednesday, which stars Matthew-I've got great pecs-McConaughey and Kate Hudson. For those who haven't watched it, this is the plot summary: (lifted directly from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0251127/plotsummary)
Benjamin Barry is an advertising executive competing with two female co-workers for a major campaign for a diamond merchant. He cuts a deal with his competitors that the account is his if he can make a woman of their choice fall in love with him in 10 days. In comes Andie Anderson who, in turn, is writing a story on how to lose guy in 10 days as a bet with her boss to be allowed to write more substantial stories. With a hidden agenda in each camp, will either party be able to complete their mission? ----------
Basically Andie (Kate Hudson) does all these ridiculous things to drive Ben (Mr Sexy Pectorial Muscles) nuts, hoping that he will dump her so she can produce that winning article with all the juicy details about her successfully failed (oxymoron, i know. :p) relationship. On the other hand, Ben tries his hardest to put up with all that nonsense, so that he can make her fall in love with him. She actually names his dick "Princess Sophia"! HAHA! Go rent the VCD or try to download it illegally -at your own risk - if you're in the mood for a chick flick...plenty of laughs guaranteed! One of my other favourite romantic comedies was showed on Ch 5 yesterday night too. '50 First Dates' stars Drew Barrymore as a girl with the inability to convert short-term memories to long-term memories and Adam Sandler is the man who has to make her fall in love with him over and over again every single day. It's not peppered with cliches and it's not your usual happily-ever-after flick, but if you're a total softie like me you'll probably be touched by the extents Adam Sandler's character goes to for the girl of his dreams. There are many real-life instances of couples whose relationships remain undaunted by the presence of illnesses, diseases or unfortunate accidents, and this movie seems just like a reel-life projection of that sort of thing onto the silverscreen. I once read a story in Reader's Digest about a couple who had Alzheimer's and couldn't recognise or remember anyone except each other...in other words, they face foreign and unfamiliar situations and people together with fear and apprehension. The story was written by the couple's daughter and ended with 'Thank God they have each other'. We're all divided on the issue of "true love"; some people think it's possible, some don't. I guess no matter where you stand, you have to admit that this is definitely the closest-to-perfect example of true love in real life...besides a parent's love for his or her child, of course.
