Bride Wars (2009)

Rating:	★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Comedy

Eh, more of a 2.5 for moi. Plot was really less than wafer thin, even for a chick flick. Gags and some of the lines were funny though. Kate and Anne's limelight was not overshadowed by the superb antics of Candice Bergen ("Murphy Brown") or Kristen Johnston ("3d Rock from the Sun). Come to think of it, the actresses' casting was quite strong, which was probably why I expected mroe out of this.

My church just spent the month of January going through the theme of holiness in a person's life. One thing that struck me when the pastors were preaching over the pulpit, was the point that it is possible for a church-going believer who does, says and thinks all the things and yet be still considered "ungodly" if he or she does not live with the consciousness/knowledge of God's will in the person's life. More than reference to God's will, the pastors impressed upon us the need to live in deference to God's will.

And as usual, my mind spins off in tangential thinking. On which is better, a "sinner" who lives with the consciousness that God can redeem and transform him; or to be a Christian/"saint" living without the presence of God...

on growing four inches to my girth...

Took leave on Monday, to get over the tiredness of Chinese New Year week. Decided (after thinking long and hard) to finally go for the Levis jeans' offer. Took an old pair of jeans and went to a Levi's shop inside Isetan at Shaw House. Great shopping on Monday early afternoon, there's was no one to jostle with and I took time to just walk around. The salesgirl was very helpful, and helped with all my questions. She asked me what size I liked to try for fitting, and I just gave my old waist size.

Went inside the fitting room, and tried to squeeze into them; but they couldn't fit! Finally asked the salesgirl for a measuring tape, and measured my own waits. To my horror of horrors, I am now a size 36!!! *Theatrical sigh* This is what comes from "sinful" binging on beer and "bah kwa"...  Ah well, the Lord gives^ and He takes away^^, but still blessed be the Name,,,



^ me a bigger waistline & tummy, which in some societies are a sign of prosperity and good health

^^ my slim physique

on tuts my barreh... (PG)

Hilarious. Probably an English teacher's nightmare*, but still hilarious...

Lai Lai Dinner Outing (02 Feb '09)

Last night went out with some friends to Bugis for a mini-Chinese New Year gathering. The food was pretty alright, love the 大肠面线 and my irish cream Kahlua! Great time catching up with the ex-colleagues too~

on bad vibes about this coming IPPT...

Had a weird dream last night. Dreamt I was taking IPPT with my colleague, Aaron*. We were at the sit-ups station. He was to do it before me, so I helped him to count. He managed to just scrape the passing mark of doing 30 sit-ups in 1 minute.

Come to my turn, I just couldn't get up! Even though my friend tried to count for me, I was doing the "chao keng" sit-ups, more like you know, crunches.  then at the end, the PTI came over and told me I had to re-do~

Then I woke up. Well, i'm pretty amused by it, so won't call it a nightmare. I'm sure it's pretty "prophetic" in the sense I will fail my IPPT, 'cos I haven't been training at all for it. Ah well, one reaps what one sows~

 

*Dunno why it's him. I mean he's the last person I would think of taking IPPT with together.
