if you ain’t first, you’re last

Just caught Talladega Nights: The ballad of Ricky Bobby yesterday.

One of the most laughs i’ve had for quite a while now.
Like dakai says, Will Ferrell is the Stephen Chow of hollywood, and his gags are simply hilarious. And having Sasha Baron Cohen in this movie was pure genius. Just loved his exaggerated french accent.
Oh! Also finally recalled which show Leslie Bibbs (The hot golddigger in this movie) starred in while talking to chris just now. It was this show called “Popular” which aired quite some time back, at a weird rather -off- timing too. It didn’t last longer than a season, although I really liked it at that point in time. One of my earlier brushes with chick flicks. Hah

Do go catch Talladega Nights! 2 Thumbs up!

Oh, i think there’s a new Ben Sherman store in town.
Was across the road from Paragon today, and saw a Ben Sherman signboard.
Haven’t seen that before, so it should be new, or perhaps I just have not checked out town that much recently.

GAP is also coming to town, not that I am really that into GAP. But it would definitely be nice having another place to shop. Man, if only Urban Outfitters would open a store here.
Have also seen some stuff i like at the Mooks store at Heeren, which is currently having a sale by the way. Just not too high on cash now, so will put off my shopping till I have more cash to spend.

Smallville season 6 has started!

And while looking for the picture of Talladega nights to post up, I stumbled upon the poster for one of my favourite movies. It’s one of the first teenybopper flicks which successfully re-interpreted and adapted old plays for the big screen. Loved the soundtrack, and just for the record, i was a teen when I caught this movie anyway. So it was especially relevant at that time, just ohsocool, and will always bring back sweet memories. =)

I hate the way you talk to me
And the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car.
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots
And the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick…
It even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you’re always right.
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh…
Even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it that you’re not around
And the fact that you didn’t call.
But mostly I hate the way
I don’t hate you…
Not even close, not even a little bit, not any at all.

Ahh, memories.
Those JC days.
Slacking, zaoing school, jamming, being poseurs.
Insecurities, fitting in, wanting to stand out.
Other movies like Varsity Blues too…
Rings a bell?

Thought this would lighten the mood of my blog.
Been a little too serious and political of late,
time for a change of mood,
at least for a while. =)

Wanna get this month’s issue of Wallpaper magazine which is like a 10th anniversary special edition or something. Love the cover of it, so just can’t help but want to check out what is inside the pretty cover of this month’s mag.

Also happened to see Murakami’s book on display at Kinokuniya while purchasing modern drummer and GQ today. Norwegian Wood. Hmm, looks like a pretty interesting book. Anyone’s read it yet? Good?

Recently, I just rediscovered The Verve.
After first listening to it when I was in secondary school, and not having listened to it in ages, and somehow rediscovering it again recently…
Wow.
How some things just grow on you, and especially after one’s music taste has grown more mature and more eclectic over the years. Especially over this past year, thanks in large part to my bandmates who have been educating me on many other genres and bands.
Really love their music now, and it’s gonna be playing in my itunes and CD player for the next couple of days.
Was with Marv, Merv, Dionne and Fuzz the other day in HMV, and chanced upon Verve’s (Earlier name of The Verve) CD - A Storm in Heaven for 10bucks. Marv and Fuzz told me to get it, and it was a really good recommendation from them! Great album.

Ok, gotta get some rest before i wake up a zombie tomorrow and totally zone out at work,

Nights world.
