When 8 Days changed their releasing date to Monday for the sake of changing it, i am pretty unhappy with it. First of all, they changed the releasing day just to compete with their rival SPH's U Weekly. Now, they are going to change it again. 8 Days will now be released every Thurs. Why? To compete with U Weekly again, as U Weekly has changed their releasing day to Friday.
Because of that, me and my sis, who subscribed 8 Days,now gets our magazine on Tues. In the past, it's Tue, cos it's a day earlier (initially released on Wed). Now, it's still Tue, cos the fucking company who was in charge of sending the mag do not want to send it earlier, or at least, try to reach us by Mon afternoon. In future, Wed? I don't know.
And everytime i am looking forward to Tue, cos that's where i can get my dosage of fashion, entertainment, food and freebies, which marks the early start of weekends. Now, weekends are starting later...

Allan Wu can look very cool by leaving long hair and get his hair done by David Gan, Glenda Chong's hairstyle done by David looks like Lucy Liu's O-Ren Ishii in Kill Bill (before O-Ren had that long hair which ties up inot a bun), How much does our $9.50 tix to Star Wars can be broken into several parts, with 32cents to keep Hayden Christensen's makeup look good without melting down, a dollar to prove that Yoda did not fart in the show, 18cents to keep George Lucas awake with Starbucks, gives us a 4/5 stars rating for Inside Deep Throat, the 1972 cheap porn that spins $600million and stirs up controversy in the 70's, reminds us that Tom Cruise, Steven Spielberg and Dakota Fanning is seeking refuge at our neighbourhood theatres on 29th June when aliens invaded earth with War of the Worlds, how Crystal Jade Kitchen is setting up a new dessert outlet in Scotts to compete with their HK rival Hui Lau San, why NTUC named their latest club DXO (and there's another advantage to become a union member: u enjoy cheaper rate and discounts on drinks if u r a NTUC member.

All this and more, in your latest copy of 8 Day's NOW!
An that's their tagline. Seriously, i wonder if 8 Days can do a better job on some other issues, such as more detailed intro of new and upcoming programmes. Rather than yakking about Denise Keller's infection with dengue while shooting Eye for a Guy 2, a lame and direct imitation of The Bachelorette, please, is it at least to give us a brief intro of how Francois Ozon created his very own unique suspense in Swimming Pool, or how Juliette Binoche created that wonderful and oh so sinful hot chocolate in Lasse Hallstrom's Chocolat?
P.S: Surprisingly, Dreamwork's upcoming animation Madagascar has been rated PG with consumer advisory: some coarse language. Haha, kiddie's animation with vulgarities.
