Painted Skin

Oops.. Didn't realise i neglected my blog for almost a month!! Omg..

Nothing much to update..

Except maybe i spent a lot this month.. Celebrating birthdays is one of the major expenditures..
Sept is a bad month, cos many of my friends are born in this month. Maybe i should just make myself sick for the whole of Sept nxt time... stay home and hide my wallet. Hah..

Shopping and eating is another. This month i ate plenty of buffets, treating my family/relative and some friends, cos they say i got my first (?) pay.. And i recently bought a few more shoes, and black pants.. since i have been wearing black pants everyday to work, that it's almost my uniform by now. lol.. I also bought several drama sets from TS.

Together with travelling and my handphone bills, i think i've spent about half my salary in less than 2 weeks!! Faints. Next month onwards have to watch out already. :S

Anyway, last week went to Werks to take family portrait. I'm still quite disappointed that they don't provide make up service at all, because many other photo studios out there do. And i look quite cui in the photos, especially i woke up at 7.30am to prepare for the shoot! (the appointment time was 9.30am). Plus it's quite ex also. Sighs.. oh well, once in a lifetime lor...

Yesterday went to watch Painted Skin with mf and her friends. When the rest of Singapore was in town, catching the F1 craze. It was quite an impromptu decision actually, she only asked me yesterday afternoon. But hey, the movie turned out not bad, quite watchable.. not as boring as i thought as a typical ancient Chinese film would turn out to be. haha.. It's quite a balanced mix of love, action, and a little humor, with the usual combination of demons and ghostbusters in a typical wu xia xiao shuo scene. Plus, the actors and actresses are okay looking also. so it's quite worth watching. haha~

But one thing i don't really understand why the movie is called Painted Skin. Yeah it sure sounds intriguing.. but when it comes to the movie itself, there really isn't much emphasis of the skin at all. Except only 1 scene when Zhou Xun peeled out her human skin, revealing her true form, which is a human shape made of countless worms or maggots or whatever it is. Ya, and it probably takes up 1-2 mins of the entire movie. That's it. No mention of that skin throughout the movie other than that scene.

After that, mf began discussing the movie, talked about how the guy betrayed his wife by having fantasies about the other woman, analysed what it means when the guy said this sentence or what it means when Zhao Wei did that. I think the producer would be damn happy that someone out there actually appreciate his movie so much that she analysed to such detail.



Qi Yu Wu is in there too~



Haha.. this is one of the rare times i actually go out for social outings man.. Kinda miss the old days when i could go out and chat wif old friends like this, without worrying about waking up early the next morning for work. In fact, tomorrow still have to work sia! :'( And today actually planned a celebration for some friends, then i had to receive this sms by Yongle saying bhid session is cancelled today cos many residents are sick. What a great disappointment man.. after all that planning and discussion. But oh well, hope the residents get well soons~

Okay got to go... F1 qualifying rounds is on!!!
