I ended my day by ironing.
My most hated chore in the whole wide world. So much for spending the day doing my favourite things, eating my favourite things. Not sour about it. Just merely stating. Documentating.
Egged by friends. I will start (for real, this time) to write everything and anything. Even information that is of zero value. Or so, it seems - at that point in time.
26. What have I done with my life?

World Cinema Series 2011: Deep End
I clicked on THIS and went, "I NEED TO WATCH THIS!"
Deep End | Jerzy Skolimowski | 1970 | Germany, USA | 89 min
Don't really know much about this movie. Plain and simple, I'm a sucker for foreign movies. Googled for more info and VOILA!
15 year old Mike works at a swimming pool. Obessessed with Susan, who also works there. Problem is, Susan is engaged but Mike still wants her. What do you get? Deep End.
I think it's pretty interesting that Deep End got shelved barely after it was released. Was it that bad? Kinda reminds me of all those awesome movies we didn't get to watch cause it didn't reach our shores (can/do we blame censorship?) which ultimately means, "Sorry folks, won't be showing that movie in our theatres." Time to go find an 'alternative' if you really want to watch the movie.
Here's some pretty photos cause I'm a visual creature. I'm a Libran for goodness sake!
Anyone want to watch this with me? :D

Submarine
Because I'm in love with a movie I haven't seen.
Typical.
This is a picspam.
I'm obsessed.
Oliver met Jordana under a bridge.
Many thanks to Julian for thinking the lead actress hair looks like mine when I had a bob (thus introducing the movie to me). I miss my bob. I miss being Zelda. But I intend to channel Francoise in 2011.

LUSH: Ultimate Shine
Ultimate Shine // Solid Shampoo Bar // LUSH
Ingredients include: ylang ylang oil and violet leaf. The smell is not for everyone. I'm not sure how to explain it exactly. I honestly didn't like the smell when I first got my hands on it. Maybe it's just me? I was however, very determined to make my hair as shiny as ever.
Surprise, surprise. It works!
Don't be fooled by the bar of soap. Once you lather it on your hair, you will get a generous amount of foam. Massage and rinse like any ordinary shampoo. My hair felt coarse after washing. Weird. But guess what, it's shinier!
Results: successful!
To soften my hair, I followed this with a conditioner: American Cream. More on that in the next post.

Gruff Rhys in Singapore, 29 April 2011
I was beyond pscyhed when I discovered that one of my idols. I repeat. IDOL. GRUFF FREAKIN RHYS!!! is performing at TAB.
I spazzed and freaked out for a few hours and went absolutely beserked on Twitter. Needless to say, it was painful to read and super embarassing, I think. But you're talking about my favourite band ever. THE band for me. I survived my torturous teenage years thanks to the Super Furry Animals. OMG I LOVE THEM LAH!
It was an intimate set (very pleased with that). I wasn't familiar with TAB. It was dark and there was already a crowd when I arrived. The tables and chairs were placed sparsely apart. I looked over at the stage. There was a table filled with random objects (which we later found out: musical instruments - according to Gruff!).
Gruff appeared 15 minutes after he was scheduled to perform. He didn't make us wait for long! Impressed albeit VERY biased. :D He started his set by asking us to scoot nearer to him. Everyone basically got up and dragged their chairs and tables to the front. Quite a sight.
Here's the thing, I was smiling like a goon throughout the concert. Cause I'm a HUGE fan. It's pretty much irrelevant to do a review. I'll just gush about him. To be honest, there was nothing to critique. I'M NOT BEING BIASED I SWEAR. Haha.. Who am I kidding?
He was funny (there were ALOT of awesome jokes).
"I would like to dedicate this song to Phil Collins. And his retirement from his solo career."
"Can we turn all the lights off? I need to create an element of suspense and built up for this song. :they switched off a few lights, leaving the front lights on: Just those lights? We can't have total darkness. Okay. I'll try to make this work."
He was also quirkier than I thought. It's like he's in his own world. Tinkering with various items on the table in front of him. It really felt like show and tell. He'll pick up one object and told us a fact/story about it.
After he went off the stage, we lingered around. Hoping to catch him. It just didn't seem right if I didn't meet the man in person. I just wanted to say thank you. Really. After waiting for about half and hour. Like total goons cause we were just standing there talking. More like a prep talk. I was nervous. My friend thought I was being ridiculous. He appeared and I went, "There he is!"

#1: Starbucks Chocolate Meringue Muffin
The second brother brought back cupcakes over the weekend. Yes. CUPCAKES! ♥
What else? Nomnomnom!
This is THE Chocolate Meringue Muffin.
Gorgeous!
The chocolate cream on top is light and freakin delicious. It literally melts in your mouth. To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of dark chocolate. But the muffin seriously taste awesome. Not too bitter and not too sweet. It's a perfect balance. I'm in love with this muffin, I swear. Go taste it for yourself and tell me it's not awesome! Yes, coming at a Starbucks near you!
FYI.
The other flavour: lemon meringue
Perfect for those who prefer their dessert less sweet. Pfft!
I have found my calling! I love food. And I love to eat. :cues dramatic music: I will be the next Starbucks Food Reviewer! Albeit an unofficial one. I can make it work. I think.
I will review the cake pops next! They're already in my fridge actually. :D Wait for it.
