yesterday was super fun!
with a great many many many thanks to syaz and diana and the former's cousin and the latter's sister
=)

the day started with me heading out for a birthday surprise thing
i had no clue where i was going
(the only clues came in the form of "sun", "green", and "weather")

i was in the dark about the whole thing
until we reached the destination: west coast park
picnic!!!
and the rain had stopped pouring by then

a super duper satisfying lunch, and then a roll around the playground
which gave me rope burns
but exercise much needed!


and yes, i brought along my famous straw hat
but it is very useful, you know!

thanks, ya'll!

and today i got the hair fixed for free
yay!
it isn't exactly like the ones before, because of the dye-induced dryness, i think
but it's a lot more manageable and straighter

and guess what?
money has fallen into my spendthrift-y hands
$200!
from a good progress progress from mp hawazi daipi!
i have no idea what i progressed in during jc
but -hey- thanks so much!
hahaha
so i'm not as broke as i think!

anyways, anybody wanting to take driving lessons with me?
i'm a wuss, i know, for not wanting to go alone
haven't totally decided yet, though, on what vehicle i'd like to steer
my dad offered me his car if i decide to learn how to drive one
said he'd take a straight bus to work from bedok next year
i hope so!
then i'd have a car
how cool would that be?!

i watched twilight today!
i loved the fact that i was watching someone else's interpretation of twilight
but i seriously was grousing over the flow of the movie throughout the whole thing
it's directed by catherine hardwicke
and i don't think i like her shaky directing much... (i'm sorry!)
some parts were just so awkwardly placed
and the succession of scenes sometimes seemed too disconnected
and... some parts weren't fully developed
i guess as a fan and a movie-goer, twilight didn't live up to my originally very high expectations

one good point, though, were the glimpses into the private moments of bella and edward
them just talking and spending time together.
even though you don't really know what they're talking about,
you can still feel that at that moment, they're each other's most precious thing in the world

now i still can't wait for new moon!!!

robert pattinson redeemed himself in my eyes
i thought he was too ugly from the start
but his crazy chemistry with kristen stewart made him look hot
(even though i still maintain that his face is oh-so-weird)
(and his singing in "bella's lullaby" is undecipherable; he sounds stoned or drunk!)

i like kristen stewart
i like the fact that she understood bella's outwardly awkwardness
in the novel, bella was never the most social of people
nor was she supposed to be a phenomenal beauty
definitely not the bouncy chirpy kind of person that more people seem to have expected...
and again, the chemistry! sizzling!
haha

let's see, who else is left out...

rosalie: i still believe that nikki reed is not flawless enough to pull that character off

emmett: is darn hot! and totally fits the character in the novel!

jasper: jackson rathbone seemed... zombie-ish. i didn't understand it, until i realised that even being around humans in school must be hard for him

alice: is so adorable! i like her!

carlisle: he looks a bit weird; not model-ish enough? but still believable in his role

esme: really proved me wrong. i thought she wasn't motherly enough, but i now know she is

james: is pure evil hotness. too bad cam gigandet will only be in this movie

laurent: not much impression of him

victoria: wasn't evil- or powerful-looking enough. she looks so tame! and where's he flaming red hair?!

jacob black: i'm in team jacob! but i agree that taylor lautner won't be able to pull him off for new moon... not enough raw power

embry: is so freakin' cute! wayyyy cuter than jacob in this movie, at least

billy black: was born to play this role

charlie swan: is likable

eric: is... asian. typical weird dude.

mike: has beautiful eyes!

jessica: is so freaking annoying!

angela: seems nice...

tyler: barely knew who he was throughout the movie; i kept wondering who that kid who nearly hit bella was...

and that's all i can think of

hahaha

so tomorrow is rest day
thursday, i hope, will be gym day
and friday is holi-day!

happy holidays, people!
i'll be making a special occasion christmas blog skin
just because i have the perfect song for this season
(=

fin*

p.s. edward's sparkling kinda sucked!
i thought the rays would bounce off him, like a truckload of diamonds and rainbows
but he just glittered
so bleh
