Just like most other people out there, I have my own little set of things about my appearance that I am unsatisfied about. Like my hair could look greater, my nails don't break, my eyes bigger, skin more flawless, etc, etc...

But hey, how about this new concept?

Live your life through a robotic version of you - or rather, what you want to look like. And all from the comforts of your own home.

Yes, you heard me right. Better looking versions of yourself. Never get hurt. Never die of an unnatural death. They are robots but you will feel what they feel and see what they see. Smoking will never cause harm to your body and random hookups with strangers will not get you AIDS!

And what on earth am I talking about? The new movie SURROGATES will present to us what such a world may look like! This movie promises to be another interesting break from reality with its intricate and exhilirating concept.

It gets exciting when this ideal world where crime, pain, fear and consequences does not exist get its first murder in years. FBI agent Geer (Bruce Willis) discovers a conspiracy behind the surrogate phenomenon and must abandon his own surrogate, risking his life to unravel the mystery.



From the video, it does look pretty cool to be physically perfect and never die an unnatural death. But I dunno if its a good idea to live in such a world man... I mean, if I lie at home everyday and go out via my surrogate, won't I be fat and all? I will still look at my human self in the mirror at the end of the day eh..?

But but, there may be details in the show that will address my concerns of this "new concept". Haha

And just for the fun of it, if I could have a surrogate, I would look like this:



A bit meatier though. :P

Through her, I would probably try to get her to run through a day in my normal life and see how much easier a day in my normal life would be if I were drop dead gorgeous. I wonder would the results be fair?

I doubt it. :P It'll definitely make great conversion with friends!

... the world's MOST watched youtube video of all time.



Really, the best 6 minutes you will spend watching. I remember so many of those moves! :)

... here's Miss Singapore World 2009 (not Miss Singapore Universe 2009)



No I'm serious... she won. But how? I have no idea.

And who said Singapore doesn't have any natural disasters?

*Booms!* You know?

HAHAHA!

The question that plagues all is "What were the judges thinking????" LOL and another good one, "What will the world think of Singapore if they allow her to talk on the world stage?"

Oh yes, please please, you have to spend another 5 mins watching this super funny spoof:



"I love wearing rad bigini, jweens and leopard preens. You can match Jweeb-Bra pweens with khaki green, you know."

P.s.: There is even a "Boomz Fan Club" on Facebook if you like. :P

... about first dates is aplenty.

I really doubt guys go through more than girls just to prepare for that first date. Girls have to start dieting way before the date. We have to go get a new outfit (cos there are just no current ones suitable enough). Then at the store, we think, a dress or a 2 piece? Sexy or casual? Then we hold a dress up, look at a mirror and notice that we must do something with that hair! And the nails! And shoes! Don't forget whatever shoes we currently have is probably not going to match the new outfit but if we do, we have to find it from the mountain of shoes in the shoe cabinet! Ah, the bag too!

Then the day comes and we have to calm ourselves down and not be so nervous (especially if the other party is really cute).

Do I look fat? Is my hair messy? Hi! Hello! Erm... how best to say hi without making him think I am too eager? I need to bring this bag cos only this bag matches this outfit. But I can't fit a lot in it. Should I give up my lipstick or powder? Will these heels make me appear too tall? Should I be fashionably late?

Painful right?

Unlike in latest movie The Ugly Truth, two hot Hollywood stars like Katherin Heigl and Gerard Butler in a battle of the sexes. Katherine Heigl’s character (as Abby) is independent and sexy and Gerard Butler (as Mike) is ruggedly handsome, funny and overly confident (which we all women secretly love eh!).



I was just telling my friend the other day that I can't wait for this show to come. I saw the trailer at the cinema and I was laughing out loud at it. Have you watched the trailer yet?



Just listen to the advice the very confident Mike tells Abby:
- Men are very visual.
- Put the hotdog in slowly...
- You have to be 2 people. The librarian and stripper.
- Laugh at whatever he says
- This is short enough to see some tighs but not too short to see..... :P

Mike told his female listeners on a late-night cable program called The Ugly Truth that “We fall in love with your tits and your ass. And we stick around for what you’re gonna do with them.”

Funny right!! I'm going to have so much fun watching this with Duckie.

I can't wait I can't wait! If we can't relate, we won't laugh and cry the way we do with good movies - so why won't I want to watch this movie!

Oh yes, speaking about what's the biggest turnoff at a date with a man?

It definitely has to be if the guy does not treat me as an equal individual. Ordering my dinner without asking what I might want? Deciding which movie to watch without seeking my humble opinion? Not cool.

But guys these days are better. =) Haven't heard of such a turnoff from the grapevine for a long time now. We women might just be SAFE from these jerks for awhile. :P

Oh wait, I had a date once with this guy whose phone kept ringing. Whether it was answering phone calls or sms'ing... I was so pissed. Not cool at all! Ah well, but that's past.

Be a fan at the official Facebook page and catch The Ugly Truth when it opens in the cinemas on the 17th September 09!

Brilliantly entertaining!

So last weekend I decided to email this ID firm whose office is located near the new home.

I don't know why any employer will hire a salesperson or rather a client-servicing person who does not inspire confidence or trust over the phone.

Often, the first contact the client has with the company can be over the phone...

So this guy, let's call him LS, answered the call and became the ID assigned to me.

Nvm, maybe he's had a bad day hence, the bad impression he gave me over the phone.

I emailed to him the floor plan and my needs. He returned email to say let's meet at XXpm.

So I went at the agreed time and there, I met LS for the first time.

Decent looking guy who looks kinda young to be experienced.

Nvm, I thought. Give him a chance.

So out came the pile of papers containing the quotation and a proposed floor plan.

He invited another colleague of his to sit down (let's call him M) and together they passed me the quotation.

This was the first time someone gave me a quotation first before trying to sell me the proposed floor plan. And this is also the first time I'm being served by 2 persons at one time.

I told myself to keep an open mind.

So we started going through the quotation and I tried VERY hard not to flip till the end to see the nett price.

I wanted to look at the floor plan. So I pointed to it and asked about it.

M, who seemed like the more experienced one, did all the talking.

At one point, I asked, is this drawn by you (directing it to M)?

He said no, and that this is drawn by his "Senior Designer".

Senior Designer? Ok...

Where is the washing machine?

M: Oh, my designer forgot. You can put it here. (duh I also know)

What is this?

LS: Oh, this is a full height.....
M (interrupts): This is a breakfast counter.

But if you put it there, right in front of the main door, who's going to sit there?!

M: Oh, ok then we take it away.

?!?!

M: I get you a sample of what's a solid surface top.

LS sits there quietly.

I looked at the quotation idly and saw something that is completely unacceptable in my line of work.

There was an obvious mistake in their URL printed on top of the quotation letterhead.

I circled it and showed it to LS.

LS: Huh? *flips to the page behind and nods his head*

I thought to myself, omg, will this show of noobishness never end?

And so it went on and on like that. LS kept quiet a lot of the times. The mixture of both M and LS made it really difficult for me to trust them with the house renovations.

I can just imagine all the little things they'll overlook and cost me time, frustration and money.

Before I end off, here's another classic from the duo.

So how much does it cost to hack all the floor tiles instead of overlaying it with laminates?

LS (proudly declares): Oh I gave you options behind.

Does this include hacking costs?

LS: Oh, it doesn't. It's only the cost of supplying and laying the tiles.

-.-

... the new movie G-Force is in cinemas finally!!!

Read all about the show here

On this show, the 3 guinea pigs are actually agents and they have this headset that allows them to communicate with humans. How interesting is that!

The trailer is cute right!! I am like super hung up on hamsters, rabbits and guniea pigs... you know, the small cute furry things that keep making super cute faces? Hehehe!

Ok of all the 4 super cute guinea pig characters, I decided that I like Hurley the most. The one that puts the 'pig' in Guinea Pig! Hahaha! Always takes someone like that to make your day! They call him the Civilian. Haha Uber cute! And keep an eye out for all the unfortunate situations he finds himself it! Hilarious!


Hurley (Jon Favreau) and three mice

In this show, the guinea pigs resent being mistaken for hamsters - so cute right!

Penelope Cruz is the voice of Juarez - now that's gonne make it really interesting! :)

I always like movies with animals who have to save the world from some bad guy's big sinister plan to destroy the world. CUTE!

And the creators made it look like these animals can really talk. 3D digital... computer generated animation technology nowadays damn good, can't keep up fast enough.

Catch G-Force in cinemas 4th Sep 2009

P.s.: I wonder if my hamsters also feel the bedding I give them is icky?? If my hamsters could speak English, I wonder what they'll say. Maybe I'll know why the two brothers who are now living together wanne fight so much every time I give them food. I could like tell them that I will give them more - just don't fight! Haha
