i only have two words to describe "memoirs of the geisha": butt-aching and bladder-bursting. okay i'm kidding. but really,sitting in the cinema from 6.30pm to 9pm is no joke. the four of us were like making a mad rush to the toilet after da movie. haha.

i suck at giving movie reviews,so i'll spare all of us the agony. what i wanna say is,the movie is good,and i think ima' gonna get the book to read soon. see,thats what a good movie makes you wanna do-to read da original book version. heh.

dinner at marche after da movie was a killer,man. i was so freaking full i couldnt walk,literally. thanks so much to flannery for da treat!=)



youknow,i'm starting to dread da arrival of chinese new year. i'm no longer that little girl who looks forward with anticipation towards that festival early every year. as the years pass by,chinese new year is beginning to become more of a must,a bore. a must to sit down with relatives you haven't met in da past year, making small talk, having awkward silences, not remembering names. even da food doesn't appeal to me much anymore.

just the previous year,i went with my family to this friend's house where all da kids were like ten years old or younger and were all watching cartoons. and the adults were all chatting with each other. my sister and i were neither here nor there; so we left to go shopping.

its only da thought of the red angbaos that prevents me from skipping the festival altogether. hah. pretty sad,huh.

but well, its still something to celebrate so i'll still go with all da usual "gong-xi-fa-cai"s and "xin-nian-kuai-le"s la,ey. of course,da new clothes are quite another consolation,too.heh.

i really need cash now,i just counted and my debts have accumulated to quite a substantial amount. ugh. i know its probably not good to owe money during da festive season,but well =( i'll pay back soon k.heh.
