Christmas Presents.

December 25, 2009 in Books, Family, Miscellaneous, Shopping by somethingboutrenes | No comments

Here’s a list of my top 3 Christmas presents received this year!

A “Polaroid” camera! Technically, it’s called a FujiFilm Instax 200 but that’s so geeky.

My practical and geeky boyfriend who believes in Photoshop and digital imaging bought me an instant camera! How awesome is that?! It’s almost unbelievable! I love it!

The camera is so huge I can use it to whack any perverts and send him to La La Land! HAHA. He chose this model instead of Instax Mini because the photo quality is supposed to be better and he loves the wide film size instead of the card size photos! I love it! How many times did I say I love it?? I can finally start clicking around and surprise myself whenever the images appear in the blank card. It’s almost like magic! My new hobby will probably burn a hole in my pocket especially when every click is a dollar sixty five. OH MY!

An Account Receivable – Burberry Bag – from my sister! She drew this for me and I am praying hard my account receivable will not turn into a bad debt waiting to be written off. HAHA. I love you sister! I will surely miss your craziness and randomness when you’re away in Sweden!

A little present from Myself! A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

Penguin published a collection of popular classics in a no-frill format made from 100% recycled material sold at $4.90 available at Borders Bookstore. Other recognizable titles such as Little Women, Sherlock Homes, Dracula and Happy Prince are also available at $4.90! I am giving Penguin 2 thumbs up for being environmental and pocket friendly!

The Wrath of Her Majesty.

I have no idea how the side mirror got smashed up while I was driving in Orchard. I stopped the car and parked it at Meritus Mandarin but no other car came or stopped at the side. That either means (1) I didn’t smashed onto anyone’s car or (2) the kana-smashed car didn’t realized. If (1) is true, it must be a rock or a divine intervention. Sigh.

My ears are burning and the house is shaking, it’s the Wrath of Her Majesty.

M18.

I got a pair of free tickets to the sneak preview of Ninja Assassin from my cousin and so I brought my baby brother along for the show. After eating BK (kids love fast food huh?!) we headed straight for the show.

And I took the usual, me with the movie poster picture…

… and after the picture taking, my brother calmly said, “This show is M18.”

M18!!!!!!!!!! He is freaking 15!!!!!!! AHHHH.

I tried and failed terribly in trying to sneak him in and so we were literally kicked out of a free movie. Gosh. This is the most depressing day of the week but we made another couple happy. One man’s loss is another man’s gain.

URGH.

He wants my Lunch Money.

I went home and found a terrorist.

He said, “Give me your lunch money!”

WTH.

Her Wallet and Mine.

My mum bought a birthday present for herself – a wallet that cost more than 1/3 of my monthly salary! GASPS!

Yet she accused me of being a spendthrift when he bought a wallet that cost only 1/5 of hers!

Thank you love, I love my wallet! Hee.

My Sister’s Keeper (2009)

I had a movie date with my sister. It has been a while since we last hang out together and I’ve got to admit, it’s kind of nice. Since both of us are from the authentic-junk-food family, we exhibited our family traits through trafficking massive amount of junk food through the movie customs. How can simple popcorns and nachos fulfill our needs!?

Adding to our cholesterol level, we had artery-blocking fried chicken from Colonel Sanders. GOSH. What happened to my broccoli and water diet!?

I was surprised we were tearing water-based tears instead of oozing out oil-based liquids from our eyes throughout the show. Enough of the gory description, we’ll talk about the show - My Sister’s Keeper – proper.

To describe the story as tragic is an understatement. It caused a catastrophic phenomenon in the theatre with hundreds and thousands of people weeping and snuffling all at a rhythmic pattern every 5 to 10 minutes. GOSH.

Conceived by means of in vitro fertilization, Anna was brought into the world to be a genetic match for her older sister, Kate, who suffers from acute promyelocytic leukemia. Anna knows if she donates a kidney, she will be unable to live the life she wants; she will no longer be able to take part in extracurricular activities such as cheerleading and soccer, or be a mother. Her family members are introduced one by one and each tell about how Katie’s illness has affected them personally and the family. When Kate turns 15, she goes into renal failure. Knowing that she will have to donate one of her kidneys to her sister, Anna sues her parents for medical emancipation and the rights to her own body.

- Synopsis extracted from Wiki

I spent six dollars to turn up for work with puffy eyes, what more can I say?

After the film, I immediately regretted eating the Carcinogens-filled chicken. Having to die of cancer is such a excruciating process that I wish no one I know (including myself) would have to suffer in his/her lifetime. SIGH.
