Mini Reviews

LOL I broke my own personal record. 5 movies in 5 days, and 3 movies the week before that. I don't think I've ever spent so much time in the cinema in one week.

True Grit - Watched this because the fam was watching Number Four and I've already watched that, and decided that it wasn't worth a second watch even though the eye candy was BOOMZ. There wasn't anything else I wanted to see, this looked OK, so I went in and hoped I wouldn't hate it because I don't usually watch Westerns but ohmygod this was good. Hailee Steinfeld was sooo amazing and classy and she's ONLY 14. Hope she doesn't go the Lohan route hahaha.

Burlesque - This was a second watching. Yeah, the story wasn't the most original and you could see how it'd end a mile away but... it's a musical! With campy songs! Sang by Christina! And lots of booty-shaking and sequined dresses! Was fun and camp and very uplifting. I loikes. I don't get why some people like to hate on Xtina hmph.

Beastly - Again, this was for the eye-candy. Tambah 50 points for Alex P's face, minus 280 points for Vanessa Hudgen's. Seriously, she is Gabriella Montez and no one else. Ever. Storyline was so-so-so-so. I cannot believe an Olsen twin is actually acting. In a movie. And unsurprisingly, in very fierce outfits. Wonder if any were from The Row? LOL.

The Adjustment Bureau - Watched this for Emily Blunt and she was effing fantastic. I love her! Hers and Matt Damon's performances made the movie. The storyline was intriguing enough, but the ending somewhat lazy.

127 Hours - Franco is so darn cute. And talented. This movie is so sick, as in gross. It's amazing I didn't throw up.

Down & Dirrty in Bangkok ;)

17/02/11 - 21/02/11: The first time I went somewhere not in Malaysia without Mummy and Daddy. Had to do everything myself, from booking the flight, researching hotels and locations, scout out where all the good party places are. Hehe luckily I've been to BKK twice before so I kinda knew a little here and there, and what to expect and generally how to get around.

It was kinda random for me to be going with Ruby and Alex but they turned out to be such great fun! They can really go crazy with the shopping. Like in one place alone, they can buy like twenty items each? o_0 We be rockin' the Platinum & Chatuchak-chic now hahahaha.

Andy and I, we're more of the partying kind. Club-hopping, drinking, that's our thing! Alco is soooo damn cheap in Thailand! We went through like four weekends in KL worth of alco during that four nights in Bangkok. Cabs are also cheap as fuck, so we can drink till we pass out then just cab it back to the hotel, no need to worry bout cops and stuff.

There was this one night where we left the club at 6.30 in the a.m, and when we got back to the hotel, we can see the people in the hotel opposite already in the restaurant having their breakfast buffet. Can you say T-R-A-S-H-Y?

Also, the difference between going with friends and going with family is that with friends, you can go to all the, ahem, red-light places and just like, be astounded because OMG it was really... astounding. I mean, the last time we went Dad wanted us to see as well but hellooo, awkward! I feel so bad for Ruby; the things she saw she will never get out of her mind. LOL!

And, I'm not usually into Asians but wow can I say Bangkok is really filled with eye-candy. Andy, with his Asian tendencies and his new, boy-attracting buff bod, was really in heaven. HAHAHAHAHA!

I can't really write anymore because I feel really uninspired these past couple of months when it comes to putting words down, so... picture time!



Our hotel, which was really clean and pretty new and the staff were all super-helpful and most importantly for us, CHEAP! Location was great as well, very central. Cabs to almost anywhere cost us like, 3 or 4 bucks per person. Wheeee!

Exploring the streets around the hotel. The street food looked and smelled sooooo good, but I only tried it once because Andy refused to eat in the streets. He said he didn't want to spend the rest of the trip sitting on a toilet bowl or puking lol. Snob. FYI Andy, that delish roasted chicken didn't gimme diarrhea!

The Japanese street, where all the tacky brothels and ugly whores were.

Our fave food, chicken PUT cashew nut seed! Hahahahaha! We had this for dinner twice.

Wait, I think our fave were the 7-11 meals! They were these rice sets in boxes with different sides like basil chicken or teriyaki chicken. You took them out from the fridge and they'd microwave it for you and it only costs 3 ringgit OMGGZZZ! We had them every single night for supper cuz we always partied soooo long we get super hungry after.









Our routine goes along the lines of shopping and seeing sights for the entire day, then go back to the hotel for a late afternoon or early evening nap, then get up and get ready for a night out, come back around 5 a.m, sleep for 5 hours, then repeat the next day. Loves!



Gah I no like sitting in front. I wants to camwhore too!

The after-a-few-drinks face.



LOL semua pakai baju baru.


Official drink of the trip: Green apple vodka + Sprite. LOL.

P.S Pictures were all stolen from Ruby's and Alex's cam. I no like travelling without my own camera boo hoo.
