hello earth!

have been casually reminded by a certain someone that i've been neglected this blog a bit the past week. well yeah, that's usually what happens what people find better things to do with their lives! heh :p

anyway. a few things:

I HAVE A DISASTROUS HAIRCUT! there, now that it's recorded here, hopefully people will be used to it when school starts and be sparing with the suanning :p especially since i believe there'll be lots of that already. anyway, i've realised that few people have more power to screw your life up than hairdressers. it's like just one slip of their scissors (or worse, shaver) and you're condemned to a month of misery, and then some. in my case, i believe it will be more than a month, particularly since four inches of hair doesn't grow back in four weeks. yup, in case you're wondering, that's a significant amount. i now have SHORT HAIR. yay. well not exactly china-scholar short (getting racist, i am eh) but it's shoulder length and makes for a pathetic barely-there excuse of a ponytail.

well, if there's anything to be learnt from that, it's never to irritate the hairdresser. which was hard in my case because the stupid woman kept pestering me every few seconds about how many millimeters i wanted this or that strand to be, and this annoyed me to no end as i was already simultaneously trying to read a magazine and sms. and so, in a moment of exasperation, i said the fateful 'just do whatever you want with it lah'. this, apparently, was a big mistake.

movie review!

caught mr & mrs smith last week- and it really proved to be more hype than substance, which is disappointing because with screen god and goddess brad pitt and angelina jolie, a movie could have staggering potential. well, 'twas not to be. IMHO, it was probably the crap plot that killed the movie, rather than the chemistry of the 2 leads, who i maintain make for gorgeous eye candy. i mean, how is it possible to look at angelina jolie's legs (and lips! and boobs!) and not instinctively think 'KILL HER'? bane of the fairer sex, she is! one question i have to ask though, is why couldn't the agencies just send an assassin to take out the smiths, instead of going to the trouble of devising elaborate plans to get them to mutually destruct? shitty plots like this disgust me.

in happier news, yesterday was my dad's birthday AND father's day, which meant a double celebration. in particular, it meant CHEESECAKE. in fact, it meant cheesecake right up till this morning, when i was left all alone in the kitchen with nothing but the fridge door separating me and the leftover cake. and so that is the story of how i put away half a friggin cheesecake this morning. i am thankful it wasn't a gigantic NYDC-esque one, or i'd probably be in hospital for a coronary bypass by now. in fact i'd like to say that this little binge might have cured me of my cheesecake craving, but i kinda have this sinking feeling that there'll be more to come.

oh wells! 6 days of the holidays to go and time to start panicking! :p
