Ah cindy, if u happen to read this blog, do not sue me or whatsoever for plagirism, cos this is in response to your earlier blog, in which i share the same idea as you.
Since you prefer to shop alone, well haha, i had found someone who shares the common interest. In fact, i have been shopping alone most of the time. But sometimes i do prefer to shop with friends, cos i can get my free advice on fashion, had someone to talk to me, and control my wild ideas. Yes, i am pretty weird, cos when i see something odd, it would trigger my mind to do something funny, and coming out with odd ideas.
However, i would never go shopping with:
1. My dad. My dad hardly shop. Even if he shops, it is with my mum to get new clothes and so on. Everytime we goes to JB, i want to take my time to shop and he would be rushing me like mad. In fact, if i were to buy clothes, he would just asked me whether i'm done if i stay in the changing rooms for more than 2 mins. Hey, i want to get the right clothes cos i do not want to throw my $$$ into the longkang and regret that i've bought the wrong clothes. If i went to any vcd shop, he do not want to see and wants me to be out of that shop asap.
2. smokers. Their breathe sells off their master/mistress.
3. one who gets tired easily. If he/she gets tired easily, he/she should jolly well stay at home and live like a pig. I can go round and round but i will never shop till i drop, cos i do not have a very fat wallet. I can keep on shopping until i get bored with the places.
4. my enemys. you jolly well know why.
Sometimes even my horoscope says i should go shopping alone, cos you will never know what is waiting for you.
And while visiting Plaza Singapura, this is the following new titles which is now on home video: Hitman, the 1998 thriller with Jet Li (again) as a very cheapskate professional killer, who has to work with Simon Yam to track down the mysterious killer, and gets Gigi Leung in the end; Closer, i talk abt that already. See how Jude Law and Clive Owen gets entangled with Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman on SUPERBIT edition Code 1 dvd; Hotel Rwanda (modern Schindler's List), National Treasure (adventure drama for kids) and Flight of the Phoenix. Watched the phoenix in M'sia on dvd and bored with such kind of story, where a group of ppl trapped in the desert and how they rebuilt the plane under the commant of Dennis Quaid.
But this is the most interesting title, which has now re-released under M18: La Femme de Chambre du Titanic aka The Chambermaid and Titanic. The France/Spain/England 1998 production does not contain the you jump i jump style from the multi-million box office hit. Directed by Spanish director Bigas Luna, the French and English drama talks about how drunked words becomes a big big lie. Horty (Olivier Martinez: in case u guys do not know who is he, then i dun think u watched Unfaithful and SWAT), a steel worker, won a ticket to witness the departure of Titanic. he met a beautiful chambermaid and had a nite of passion before Titanic departs. When he found his wife is having an affair with his friend, he gets himself drunk and tells his friend his erotic encounter. Titanic disaster strikes after that, and he was employed as a story teller to tell the big lie about the 'you jump i jump' encounter. The fact is, he wasn't even on Titanic. The chambermaid appears suddenly and a-ha, you guess the ending.
Watched this on Arts Central years back and almost forgotten the existence of this wahaha drama from Bigas Luna. Just in case you do not know who is Luna, i am not surprised. Most of his films were banned on home videos here. La Femme is one of the very few film from Bigas that get a chance to be released on video here. But, to the adults, they might know some of his films. This includes: Jamon Jamon, a very juicy adult drama where you get to see Penelope Cruz in her earlier days; Sound of Sea, another adult drama(which was his most recent, but no so most recent, (cos that was made 4yrs ago) recommended by critics. Pay attention to the schedule of Yangtze cineplex. Luna is another Spanish director whose film was lucky to be screen in S'pore due to erotic contents.
But when i saw the cover of La Femme, it was the Mandarin title that granbs my attention: Chun Qin Hua Hua Tie Da Ni (translate in Eng is Spring Love Flower Flower Titanic.) From the director of Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Nai (The Moon Represents my Breast) ( !!!! ) now brings you the latest production! OK, my apology if this offends anyone, but this is what i saw from the cover, and anyway, i do not even know what is the movie the cover was referring to, cos Blgas makes so many erotic drama, so much that he can put directors such as Yon Fan on shame, or more rather, makes Yon Fan like an porn director than an arthouse director.
Back to shopping again. The sky has been cloudy like...wrong seasons in the wrong area. The right place, wrong timing for sales. Converse sale at Far East coming to an end tomorrow...no $$$, so no old school canvas...And i didn't realised that Level 5 of Far East is a food and hair and beauty paradise, where you can cheap eats, modern hairstyling and facial under the same level...and finally found that FRGL, where they are having an 50% discount for all items. OMG, want to shop there but could not found the shop, now the shop is there, and the sales are there, but wrong timing again...
