Whine, warns & review

Now for mooore.... No No, not part 2 of my eventful week yet, been online every single day searching and typing and clicking for places to go in Taiwan. Tired...

1st things 1st, haven't slept very well for the last few days... The can't breath and dreaming thing's back.. gosh.. Gonna have to see a doctor soon, wouldn't wanna suffer in Taipei.

Countdown!!!! Just about another 36 hours to my BIRTHDAY!!! Yay!!! Going out for a mini celebration with my family today, sadly, they won't be able to make Saturday cos mummy or kor's got dinners to attend.. people..

My bestie sent me a rather oddball text message earlier yesterday and it goes:


This Friday don't carry too many bags.
One will do.
And don't carry heavy things.
Or you will regret.
weird i tell ya.. haha.. it's like one of those "I know what you did last night, come home now or..!!"
Messages... but yeap, gotta heed the advice and be a good kid tomorrow. =)
I miss Mr Joo, haven't seen him since Sunday..
Oh okay okay, I've realised there are people who actually read my blog, thus I'm gonna start doing some product reviews (As all that knows me knows I shop random online, or off)
And today I've got a body mist from Victoria's Secret. I know alot of young ladies must've realised the prompt sales of such items in places like Whatsons, In Q Box, Pandora's Box and such.. Even Lucky Plaza's got to selling em'. But after visiting shops that does, the bestest palce to purchase's still ONLINE. Yeap, I know I know... "How will I get to test smell the item??" Simple!! GO TO THE SHOPS!! Try them out and then purchase online, at least that was what I did as a student, not made of Moo-lah you know!!



Shops selling : S$25(Lucky Plaza, Whatsons) ~ S$30plus
Online(Ebay.sg): S$10~ S$18 (Depending on the popularity of the flavour)
Postage'll cost you what... S$1.50 to S$2? Still cheaper!! All in the comfort of your home sweet home.. Coolness I say.
Alright, here's the baby, It's a Limited Edition of the Victoria's Secret's Secret Garden Line.
'Vanilla Blackberry Bliss'
(Give me any "Berried" name and I'm so there)Alright, 1stly, take note of Picture 1 where the VANILLA word's birgger than any other on the fron tof the bottle's packaging. Yup, it's ALOT creamier in smell in comparisn to let's say the Black Raspberry Vanilla that hangs on my skin daily. BUT BUT BUT!! loads of you ladies who's used body splashes and mists before must have had the same problem at least when you 1st started out. It doesn't linger the way my Eu De Toilete does!! THIS ONE DOES!! haha.. the smell's rather strong, after my showers, one random spray's all it takes to linger till the next
morning.
Do not expect to smell like a gianormous fruity Blackberry.
As this baby lingers more like a Blackberry TART,
Creamier, fuller a tad more mature.
NOTE: Shopping online as it's pros and cons, make sure every single one of your questions are answered before purchase and be sure to read diligently to find out the ACTUAL status of the items NEW, NWOB (New With Out Box), NWOT (New With Out Tag), USED.
Don't ever rush online shopping, check back for better deals if you don't enjoy what's available.
Online shopping can be a blessing for deals and bums, keep it that way.

P.S. Being friendly and slightly sweet can get you discounts on postages and shipping!

Mamma Mia

Alright alright, so people do read this stuff I write.. haha.. Thanks for the lurrve.. Here goes abit of nothing..
Watched Mamma Mia. Verdict?LOOOOVED IT!!!
Well there were scenes where I thought maybe Meryl Streep was singing abit too much and really really.. Hearing & watching Pierce Brosnan sing...Nevermind sing.. love songs, serenading songs.. but dancing.. in..Tights... Now That's trippy. Truthfully I thought Sophie (Amanda) was alittle too cute for her fiancee... really. Loooove the HippieNess of the whole show.. the dresses were just gorgeousness. And totally looove the messy undone hair that Donna(Meryl) & Sophie(Amanda) wore through the show.. One of the many oddball moments when Mr ex-007 serenades Donna (meryl)
But really I must must say, Amanda Seyfried really amazed me by how unblonde she can be.. seriously, those of you who've watched Mean Girls will know exactly what I'm talking about. She's simply transformed and I'm pretty sure she'll never be labelled "Blonde" after this show, plus her crisp voice enchanted me.. I like.. i like..

Amanda Seyfried as Karen in movie "Mean Girls"

On the other hand.. HOW CAN COLIN FIRTH END UP GAY!?!?!? I was all shrivelled up in my seat towards the end of the show. But overall, I give this show 9/10. Losing that one point to the fact that Meryl Streep sang a tact too much (which was slowing down the show quite abit in the cliff scene) in comparisn to Amanda, thought I'd hear more of her in the movie.
Now compare time...
Mamma Mia vs HairSpray = MAMA MIA!!
Mamma Mis vs Moulin rouge = MAMA MIA!!

I still strongly feel Amanda's voice's better than Nicole Kidman, although she's tops when it comes to acting and etc. etc. but really.. Nic can't sing too well... yup, hate me but that's my opinion and you're reading MY BLOG...haha Night before wedding Party scene
Thought this was far more fun in comparisn to Hairspray and I kinda like the fact that like a real musical, anyone and EVERYONE was singing, even the helpers. Instead of having someone singing on the streets and the rest of the world just don't seem to be affected or even kmow of her existence.. Moulin Rouge was just way sad for my taste... the main dying and all, not really my cup of tea.

For those of you who haven't got the chance/time to see this movie, do it cos it'll really make your day, it's light hearted, funny and upbeat. In this time of stock/financial crisis, this is one of my top choices of movies to watch this Autumn to put everyone's mood in the right place, all ready for holiday, enjoyment and christmas =)

So yes, put 10bucks aside this weekend as I highly recommend you watch this in the theatre with many other random people, BIG SCREEN and surround yourself with blasting music rather than a small computer screen at home with sucky sound and resolution. It's worth, trust me. Put on your shiny 60's tights if you have to and tap to the beat.

Yup so now you know, my latest, favourite movie musical.Amanda Seyfried (Sophie)
Thanks for reading!!
Till then..
