Alice in Wonderland

It's Alice in Wonderland


Not Hatter in Wonderland -_-''


I don't like the movie because...

Alice was being bi-polar (quote from Matthew) in the movie, jumping from one extreme to the other. It is especially evident in the scene where she had to decide whether or not to fight the Jabberwocky. It was "NO!" at first because she was sick of what is expected of her by everyone, then it became a "YES!" for the story would not have been able to proceed otherwise. Judging from her decision to fight the Jabberwocky, one might expect the same answer to Hamish's proposal (do what everyone is expecting her to), but she went all out to reject it, and even had the nerve to tell poor Aunt Imogene to stop fantasizing when she herself just came back from a dream!

The Mad Hatter was given such a big role, too huge a role in the movie. I suppose he was meant to act as some sort of a narrator but he seriously cannot possibly repeat the line "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" an additional time! I am not denying Johnny Depp's acting skills, he played the Hatter really well, but I just find the role itself a bit over. On top of that, I haven't the slightest idea whether there is something going on between him and Alice. The relationship being conveyed was just way too weird and slightly wrong =S

White Queen, though loved by everyone in Underworld is definitely NOT love by me, and of course the Red Queen. The way she moves and holds her hand is just UGH! It's so unnatural. Having Anne Hathaway act and look so ridiculous and horrible is just......unjustifiable. The fact that I can see through the White Queen's facade, knowing that she actually wants the crown as badly as the Red Queen also contributed to my loathing of her (SO OBVIOUS at the beginning of the face-off scene with the Red Queen on the giant chessboard). One can also see how she was more herself than anything when she was mixing the Pishalver for Alice...worm fat...Horse Fly urine...buttered fingers...dead man's coins...wishful thinking and spit...how lovely ♥


For such a movie, there is only one thing to say...





OFF
WITH
ITS
HEAD!

A picture is worth a thousand words, so pictures with a capital 'S' is bound to worth a million words.
Now you know why I have been neglecting my blog...
Assignments were also part of the equation but pictures of that is boring so *bleh* >_<

Yaoi Rules

!!!WARNING!!!
Content might be offensive/inappropriate for some.
Do not continue reading if you are homophobic.
You have been warned.


I read some manga during the holidays and was disgusted by the yaoi content in Junjo Romantica and Candy. It is sad that the uke is always some poor innocent boy and the seme is always so rough and demanding. I have to say I am not a real big fan of yaoi, I really don't know why people enjoy this type of stuff =S I wonder if the same goes for yuri, might check some out the next holiday (I'm so busy this semester T_T).

All that said, I came across some comics by humon on Yaoi Rules and thought it was pretty funny. So I'm sharing it here with you guys =)

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs


This is going to be really short...

I can't say this is one of my favorite animation, but it's pretty cool to have food weather especially for a foodie like me XD If only I have a machine that can make me any sort of food I want with just water *wishful*

Told ya this was going to be short =P

2010 Ang Pau Awards

Welcome to the 1st annual Ang Pau Awards
I know it's a bit late but the show must go on!
*LOL*


The Most Common Ang Pau Award goes to...


I got like 9 of these in total
I'm sure lots of other people are using this ang pau too


The Weirdest Ang Pau Award goes to...


This is by far the weirdest ang pau I've received in my entire life
It looks the same front and back, and doesn't have a company name =S


The Cutest Ang Pau Award goes to...


OCBC Bank's set of ang pau is really cute ^_^

There can only be one winner for each award
But I feel that this ang pau deserve a special mention


士林台湾小吃 (Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks) ang pau is pretty cute too ^_^


The Thickest Ang Pau Award goes to...


By thickest, I mean the thickest material *haha*
Point B!'s ang pau was made of cardboard or something =S


The Most Unique Ang Pau Award goes to...


If you look carefully...
You can see different Chinese surnames on the ang pau
There are even some weird ones like 司马, 令狐 and 钱
But there is no 洪 =(
isn't 洪 quite common??


The Coolest Texture Ang Pau Award goes to...


Standard Chartered Bank is pretty smart this year
They came up with a design that appeals both to the eyes and the hand
You might not be able to see it clearly from this picture
But the paper texture is really really cool!!


The Simplest Ang Pau Award goes to...


This is by V-MUM maternity concept and V-KY collection
I'm guessing it's a small company because I've never heard of them
small company = low budget = simple design
At least they didn't win the Ugliest Ang Pau Award...


The Ugliest Ang Pau Award goes to...


I think this ang pau was actually produced a few years back
But nonetheless, it was the ugliest ang pau I received this year
BOOHOO!!

Even though this next one is not super ugly
But judging by their past ang pau
They really underdone it this year


This is not so bad as it is the Premier one
But I can assure you the normal one is really U-G-L-Y


The Best Ang Pau Award goes to...


Swarovki!!!
I may be a little bias here but I don't care >_<
Their ang pau is really pretty!!
Come on! It even has crystals?? or maybe not...
But it is still very very pretty~~
This picture just doesn't do it justice...

Here are three noteworthy ang pau that didn't make it


Anmum's depiction of the mandarin is really cool
Dove's shiny fishes were really cool too
(even though it doesn't look like it in the picture)
UOB's ang pau is just nice *haha*


This is the end of the 2010 Ang Pau Awards
Join me again next year for more Ang Pau Awards =)



Note: Pictures really do not represent the true design, especially the shiny ones. This is all the fault of my scanner =(
