Here, There Be Dragons!

Happy National Day Eve guys. I'm quite looking forward to watching the parade tmr, seeing as I missed it last year no thanks to my brilliant brother who convinced me it started at 8:19pm, despite my doubts we'd be able to make anything out in the dark. On TV, of course, which makes me wish I were P5 again eh?

I haven't been keeping up with my incessant blogging for a while now, but that's cause my comp is being shared by my mother, my brother and I. And what little time I do get on my comp I... it's a secret. Then again, since it's probably the worst kept secret in yewtee by now I might as well tell you that I spend all my time playing dota :) whoopsy daisy!

Anw hongkong was very fun thankyouverymuch for asking, and it would have been funner, even funnest, if I didn't have this ridiculous, sad, tummyache the first 2 days. Like appetite -9000 sigh. I still managed to consume quite a number of sumptuously sumptuous food e.g. charsiew pao and charsiew pao. Forgive me, sometimes all I can think about for days is the charsiew pao, true story.

I think that was the most expensive hotel of my life though. Not the most original of names perhaps (Nathan Hotel on Nathan Road doh) but it was plenty massive. As was the TV screen, much to my delight. One never knows how much of a couch potato one is until you plop yourself in front of a huge LCD TV streaming cantonese shows all day long.

Anw thanks amanda for the free tickets ((Y)) and both of you for the company! And for trying so hard to help in my quest to shop. And for not killing me with over-shopping.

I managed to catch Midnight in Paris, Love Actually, and a silly chinese show called The Butcher, The Chef and The Swordsman on the plane rides. Midnight in Paris wasn't quite as enjoyable as Vicky Christina Barcelona and I really only watched it for Rachel McAdam, but I must say that Woody Allen's films are pretty good. I should check out those starring Diane Keaton or sth, those old movies.

And Love Actually was brilliant! I don't know how I've managed to not watch it in all the years since it came out (I was underage when it first did) but I sure am glad I did. I don't think there are many of you out there but if you still haven't watched it, you should.

My brother harangued my into clearing my mess and arranging my stuff nicely so now I've got a brand new layout for all my books and all my nice(ly) useless stuff. I currently have 101 books in my possession! of which 37 are still unread. Which is a horrible statistic, which I have done nothing to improve by visiting the library! Of course if you see a book like One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest then you are very much obliged to borrow it, yes yes. It is unexpectedly smooth reading, so I expect I shall very soon find out what exactly happens to the mad and not so mad men in it. Then I can watch the movie, starring a young Jack Nicholson.

Which reminds me how many TV shows I have to watch. I just started on Psych cause my brother psycho-ed me into watching it. (Sigh I know what a poor pun, oh to what depths I've sunk.) It's quite funny actually. So that makes it the 4th crime/detective show I'm following after Criminal Minds, Bones and The Mentalist. And is the 7th TV show after also How I Met Your Mother, House M.D and The Big Bang Theory. Oh the horror. And since all I do is dota.... I'm such a burden to society srsly.

I did want to alleviate a little of that burden but the bloodbank is closed today so ohwells. They've been sending me messages about a shortage of blood they're having (especially my sweet precious O+ blood) so I think I shall go down this saturday or sth.

Anw I just read about Anne Hathaway being the next Catwoman in the next installation of Batman?!?! That's gonna be an odd pill to swallow. Of course, I'd probably have said this if I'd heard she was gonna be the White Witch in Alice, but that turned out okay. I'd have expected.. someone sexier though, haha. Like... I don't know. Angelina Jolie is too old and too cool probably for a superhero film. Hoo well I really can't think who could be a good Catwoman, you'd need a real sizzler! Like Sienna Miller in her turn in GI Joe, hoo boy.

The only dragon you'd see here is this dragon-sized wall of text, as usual, boring me. I don't know why I keep hearing this phrase in my mind lately though. This and Macbeth's "something wicked this way comes." It must point to the fact that I'm such a dangerous person, yes? Hahaha. In an interview, Nina Dobrev said that girls always go for the bad boy, and while I can't verify that with the rest of the female population it is suffice that she does. Hahaha obsession reaches an all new level. But as of now I am BadBoy92 and I even howl sometimes during the full moon a la Jacob Black and occasionally glitter in the sun as well. Glitter = Free Win.

Alright enough of that babbling, I think I've embarrassed myself enough. More pertinently, one of my dota kakis has very kindly invited me to play so BAI BAI NOW.
