This is a shameless take on the Giddy Tigress’ latest post where she pondered what it means to grow up. For me, when I heard about the new movie Journey to the Centre of The Earth starring Brendan Fraser, my first mental image was of this:-

Brendan Fraser in Encino Man (California Man as the rest of the world knows this movie as).

And then, I remembered Brendan Fraser in George of the Jungle.

And now, look at Brendan Fraser, all grow-ed up and playing a Professor no less! Not a thawed out caveman, not a loincloth clad jungle man, but a professor!

Hands up who remembers the first 2 movies?!

No, I’m not a Brendan Fraser fan, but it was either write this useless bit of trivia or another angry little girl post filled with foot stamping and tantrum throwing at the injustices of the world. I opted to populate mine with rainbows and flowers and comic random thoughts

Well, not yet….

I spent the whole of Sunday with a professional photographer picking up whatever tips he deigned to throw my way about taking portrait shots. He had a swanky Nikon DLSR with giant telephoto lenses while I had my dinky little point and shoot Canon 860 IS.

He was actually shooting my sister’s pre-wedding photographs and I was roped in as driver cum assistant cum “dress fluffer”. The latter assignment so named because I had to make sure the line of her dress looked good, and the best way was to pick up the train and “fluff” it out. Who better to know anything about fluff than Paris B?! hehe…

The weather wasn’t bright and sunny but the rains held until all the important photos were taken. Anyway, there were loads of photos taken and I was so tired at the end of the day. But PE and J looked so good in the photos I can’t wait to see the finished product when the photographer rolls it out!

Not “sex” and the “city” lah… Sex and the City - the hit tv series and now, the Movie. “Sex” and the “city” will be another story altogether won’t it?!

All beauty blogs and fashion blogs and girly girly blogs were all a buzz in the middle of the month about the premiere of the Sex and the City movie.

All except this one you would have noticed.

This site and all my other related sites have been bereft of all mention of Sex and the City whether in movie or tv series form. The answer is simple.

I’ve never watched Sex and the City.

And I have no desire to.

I read the book - I have it in my book shelf - and I wasn’t all that taken by it. I read it and promptly forgot what its about. Was there sex in the city? Don’t ask me! I have no idea!

I’d actually rather go and watch Kungfu Panda.

Now, what does that say about me?

Indiana Jones = Harrison Ford.

There are no two ways about it. Old or not, haggard or not, Indy Jones = Harrison Ford.

When The Last Crusade was released, I thought that would be the end of the Indiana Jones series. After all, Harrison Ford is good for doing trilogies - see Star Wars (Han Solo *drools* ok ok I like older men - sue me ) and of course the Indiana Jones trilogy.

So, when there was talk about the new Indiana Jones, I had the impression (don’t know from where) that Indy was no longer played by Harrison Ford so I was quite adamant I wouldn’t watch it. And then, my dad (of all people!) told me that it was indeed Harrison Ford reprising the role of Indiana Jones, which led me to google up the information which led me to watch Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull last night!

Did I enjoy it? Of course I did! Its Indiana Jones isn’t it? Delightfully camp and tongue in cheek and all. But what else did I think about it? Please watch out for spoilers after the jump!

How a trip to have my hair cut in between having to work on a Sunday ended up with me nursing a brand new notebook in my hot little hands in the evening is quite beyond me. Seriously, what does hair have to do with notebooks, except that my excellent hairdresser happens to be based in Low Yat Plaza - the mecca of all things digital.

Looks just like any other notebook, but it isn’t. Continue reading →
