This is an amazing place (and an amazing lady!).
This place houses hundreds of cats (and dogs). No cage, no kill. They just wander around safe and happy.
A friend on plurk shared the video.. Here it is..
I made a donation to them! I mean, this place deserves attention and donation! So, donate to them (there are other ways to contribute) and take care for the cute kitties!

Nah. No photoshop at all for these photos.
Can’t talk much. Headache diagnosed as migraine. Have to rest. Tata.
I’m serious about this.
Take a look at this..
Yes the photo is photoshopped. Don’t bitch.
Anyway, it was my first time using fake eyelashes! Bought a starter kit in Sasa, which I don’t recommend buying at all! It cost me 16.90 and it consists of one pair of falsies, glue, and eyelash applicator. But then! The eyelash applicator is only a piece of plastic folded into two and supposedly will help you hold the falsies. The eyelashes were made in Indonesia (HAHAHA OMG), and the glue is just so little. DON’T BUY. SERIOUSLY.
A view from the side (so you can really see the falsies)
Just as my hair, my eyelashes are straight, as in very very straight and very “weak”. As in, it always drops down. Nothing can help it. I’ve tried the eyelash curler, the conventional one and the battery-operated one with the heating base. Mascara, no matter how curvy the brush is, doesn’t really work either. What did work was I put on some mascara and curl it after that. I know it’s the wrong order, but it was the only thing that worked!
But anyway with my pretty falsies I can do more! And prettier!
So yes, fake means beautiful here.
Oh baby baby, the reason I breath is youuuu.. Boy you got me blinded!
In case you don’t know, that was from Britney Spears’ Baby One More Time!
I have no time to properly update this blog so right now. So many things to doooooooo. just follow me in my plurk ok! It has my latest updates about.. er.. everything.
Join me on Plurk too! It’s fun. Enough said.
Please don’t ask why I keep using the lolcat/geek language. I dunno man.
Just because I <3 <3 <3 you guys, and because I was in the top position in ping.sg yesterday (just because of my awsum photoshop skillz which is not that awsummm anyway!)...

Was too lazy to put it side by side. Hahaha XD
Update : I found out how to do image on hover!
Note : I don’t think this can be classified as a proper review.
So okay, what the hell is dark knight in the first place?
I only know about Batman. And the only thing I know about Batman is his black cape and that he has a companion (that sounds wrong) named Robin. That’s all. I know I’m not knowledgeable. I’m a girl, ok! Ask me about Sailor Moon or Wedding Peach. (Come to think of it, I don’t really remember anymore. Blah.)
Anyway.
So I caught The Dark Knight last night. It was a 9.55 PM show, since my friends had to do some performance practice. So okay we went to the Cathay to see it and.. There was a delay.
I’m still thinking whether I should blame the delay.
Anyway, I almost slept in the last 30 minutes of the film or so. It was an agonizing wait, especially when your bladder is full but you’re stuck in the middle of the row AND the film is not finished yet.
You know when you watch DVD you can press a button to show you how much time is remaining? I had the urge to do that, except that this “DVD” was projected in a huge ass screen and I was sitting in puffy yet uncomfortable “sofa” instead of my home’s sofa.
I didn’t know Batman is a super rich guy. Damn you trust fund babies. A lot of money in hand and still dreaming of saving the world. How heroic. Oh wait. Batman IS heroic. Anyway.
The scenes with the sick Joker (btw, two thumbs up and two toes up for Heath Ledger (RIP)’s acting!) was terribly horrifying. The make up of the half-burnt guy is crazily impressive. Ok insert positive review here. You should have read many positive reviews and I’m too lazy to type more. Maybe I should just plagiarize just like Dawn Yang did.
[subtle spoiler alert]
Neewayz. Up to this second I’m still trying to figure out some weird things I encounter. That joker. How did he manage to plant (and maybe design) bombs and everything? How did he manage to place those bombs at that hospital? Where did his money come from? Thought he burned it. Or is he some other trust fund baby?
And I think the weirdest ever is the last scenes. Gordon’s family? His son was held at gunpoint and threatened that he will die. Of course he didn’t die. Duh. The film won’t be fun, unless that the dying son scene is at the first scenes. That would be a nice opening for a psycho movie. Anyway. Gordon’s son. So he was held at gunpoint. He was so scared, shivering and crying. It just lacks of peeing in the pants. Argh I keep digressing. Anyway. He was held at gunpoint goddammit! Yet after Batman flew (or rather ran) away, he came to his father asking “cheerfully” : “Is he okay, Dad?”. Little brother, you were held at gunpoint! You were gonna die! Your mother and sister were crying coz they were very scared of your well being! You were crying too! And you came to your dad with clean face asking about Batman. Gosh. You’re gonna have a good (internal) conflict management skill, bro.
And this review has come to an abrupt end.
Coz I’m working now dammit!
PS I went back at 1 AM. Dang.
Actually I’ve been meaning to post this even before I watched The Leap Years (which is so sappy I don’t want to further review it).
As many other people, I was very interested in the trailer’s background music.
I first heard it on a bus, when the trailer is playing on that super disturbing TV Mobile. My first thought “Wah Singaporean so cool ah can make a song so good!”. And the trailer is not bad. It’s good. The beautiful scenes.. So photographic. I especially like the end part. You know, when the paper plane is thrown? The piano sound is just perfect!
I then found out from Rinaz that the song is actually a song composed by a Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto titled “Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence”. (In case you don’t know it, I have soft spot for Japanese composers. You know those Final Fantasy songs??? If you don’t know, never mind)
It didn’t take long for me to realize that.. They’re not the same!
You want to try? Just play the first seconds of the leap years trailer, until about 00:13 (that’s the solo piano), and then stop.
And then play this video, just the first seconds too..Approximately until about 00:13 too.
Not yet?
That one might not be too obvious.
Now, play the leap years trailer from 03:20 until approximately 03:40. That’s when the strings/violin gets the melody. Remember the melody.
Play the “Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence” from approximately 01:30. It’s when the violin comes in too.
Different?
Of course!
I can’t understand it. Why on earth must they rip this song? It’s not even using the song, okay. If they’re using the song and they have copyright problem, that’s more understandable. But ripping the song?
It can’t be just an “inspired” song. The structure is too similar. Piano solo at the front, followed by the melody by strings? (well okay merry christmas mr lawrence actually had the melody on the piano first before moving on to string. the leap years trailer song skipped this and changed it with some drum beats while people are talking in the trailer)
And especially this piano riff at The Leap Year’s trailer 04:10 and Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence at 04:08 (heh the timestamp is even almost the same)
No, it can’t be just inspired! It’s almost exactly the same. Especially the end part. Remember the part I said, when the paper airplane was thrown? That piano tunes. Is it a coincidence that both the composers (or rather one composer and one ripper) had the same idea about the piano tunes? Nah. I don’t think so.
I just.. I can’t understand it. Did you guys listen to Corrine May’s songs in the movie? They were awesome. So soothing, calm.. Really, they were good. I’m sure Corrine is capable of composing a good, catchy song for the trailer too. So.. Why can’t they just Corrine’s songs? Why? Why must rip Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence?
And maybe they just made a song similar to Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence to avoid copyright problems? Boy did the song get my attention! And I’m sure many other people too. I swear, my reason to watch The Leap Years was the trailer’s song. Ok I’m shallow, but, I don’t know, I think when you already have a boyfriend you tend to become more rational and realize that those romantic stuff are really not the things that matter. Hahaha.
Oh by the way, as I said, the film is good. Visually. The scenes are beautifully captured. As for the story.. I say, just let it exist in fairytale land.
*still can’t understand why they rip the song instead of make a brand new song*
*sigh*
btw, here’s a bonus. The trailer of the film Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence. Looks quite interesting. (and of course interesting trailer background music =P)
