Skyfall - Bond is a jinx

My dad's a huge fan of the 007 franchise. Every time Channel 5 airs the series when a new Bond movie's coming out, you can be sure as hell he's glued to the TV.

I have never bothered about any of the Bond movies. In fact, if people told me 007 and James Bond are of two different entities, I would believe them.

When news came out that Daniel Craig's the new Bond, most began dissing him. I couldn't care less, although I did think that Pierce Brosnan looks more charismatic. Heck, even my mom knows Bronan's full name in English! How's that? And of course, she's a Pierce Brosnan shipper.

I mean just look at that face! How many girls have fallen to his feet already!?

Okay, so last Friday, I broke my bond-ginity. I watched Skyfall!

Ever since then, I've been doing the walk, halt, twirl and pose!

Yeah, cause I'm cool like that.

Although I've never caught a Bond movie prior to this, I knew that there were the Bond Girls. Michelle Yeoh, Halle Berry, Denise Richards, Eva Green... all those Hollywood hotties, living in their million dollar houses. -cue bitterness-

And that, of course means sexy time, sexy time and more sexy time.

Throughout the movie, my friends and I would guess which girl he's gonna sexy time with and not. They were right to say that he'd do any female. Oh man! Darn, gotta say the scenes where Bond and Eve were flirting were so awkward to watch.

We couldn't get over how hilariously odd this scene was.

Not because I'm one of those, "oh, they're gonna sexy time and I must act all uptight about it in public" awkward, but more of, "oh crap, they don't have an ounce of chemistry huh", kinda awkward.

I liked the villlian, Silva (Javier Bardem) though. I mean, if I were him, I'd probably have done the same, that is if I were as smart as him. HEH. (No spoilers here!) So however it is, please, do not betray me and leave me to die because in turn, I'd most likely go loco and want to seek revenge, just like him. Nahahaha!

Alright, aside from the awkward flirting scenes, I thought that Skyfall was pretty neat. Not many cool gadgets here though, I thought, cause my bro was saying how Bond movies are about the gadgets.

The fighting scenes made up for it though! They were so intense, my eyes were glued to the screen. Just like my dad.

Oh dear lord, I'm an uncle.

Right. It was so action packed, I didn't even notice that 2h 30 mins were gone till the end when Guili complained about holding in her pee for 2 hours cause she didn't want to miss anything.

So that means Skyfall's pretty good, cause I usually can't sit through a whole movie.

In Conclusion - Bond Movies

1. Bond needs sexy girls for sexy time
2. Fancy, cool gadgets
3. Bond doesn't rebut until someone's killed. Seriously. Someone's being held hostage but he doesn't make a move until he or (and) she is (are) killed. Really, Bond? REALLY?? It didn't happen just once in this movie!
4. He will never die and there will always be another sequel.
5. Daniel Craig is actually pretty hot. I mean, I thought that he was not bad since The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
6. Girls like their men in suits.

A suit can make all the difference! -girlish giggle-

After the movie, Charis and I have decided that it is written in Daniel Craig's contract that he has to have sexy time with at least a girl in any movie, regardless of how redundant the scene is to the film.

I told my brother about this later at night and he said, "Haven't you noticed that in all Bond movies, the first girl with a name he le sexy time with will definitely be killed?"

Oh, now I know. It's like having one last sexy time before she dies! How crappy is that!? James Bond is a sex jinx!

Add that to the conclusion list.

Not looking forward to being a B-Grade horror movie star

The MRT station near my house now have those huge ass fans with blades like those of a blender.

Image credits obviously to Stomp.

The same ones I feared when I was a child - days staying in Jurong East where my living room had one of these - ceiling fans. 

Gosh, I hated being under or even near one! Especially those that creak or make whirring sounds and shake when you put the speed to maximum. Those creepers never fail to give me images of the blades disconnecting from the wall and twirling down like UFOs but at the speed of 200km/hr, slicing the heads of people in the way . 

Holy bananas. The similarity is daunting.

And the thing about those fans in the stations? Girls can't wear flowy or even heavy material swing dresses! I had to hold it down in fear of losing my modesty! If they had maxed the speed I would have ended up like this!

I once had a friend tell me that she thinks Marilyn Monroe is fat. -insert scandalized face- Marilyn Monroe is way gorgeous and nobody calls her fat! Period.

This isn't fun. I only had to do that when on uncharacteristic windy days. 

Well, I guess tiko peks get to benefit from this.  Those lucky bastards.

Nonetheless, it has been really warm nowadays and those fans are appreciated okay, as long as they don't slice me up like sashimi, make me "zhao geng" or both!

Halloween 2012

I'm 22 and have never been to a Halloween party! Heck, I didn't even get to go to the USS Halloween Night! It is somewhat depressing. Am I such a "no-life" person? Do I look like I don't want to dress up as a slutty nurse and scare myself at a usually kid-friendly park?

Well, I thought I was bad but yesterday, my friend, Celine, (25 years old - age HAS to be mentioned  to prove that I ain't the saddest soul!) was telling me over dinner how it sucks to see pictures of her friends dressed up over the week and how yesterday itself was Halloween yet we were sitting at a corner in Din Tai Feng (love you!) gorging on the food we had over ordered.

My sentiments exactly.

Halloween this year looked fun, I had 2 guy friends dressed up as ladies. (Actually one as a lady, the other as a transsexual) Another was dressed up as a bunny. Not a sexy bunny, but a guy wearing a bunny mascot.

That was his costume, sans the carrots and the face of the bunny was actually cut out so his own face was showing. And mind you, he is 190cm and a former rugby captain hence the ability to not look like a loser.
It was hilarious as a few days ago, I was telling Bernice's (BFF!) sister, Denise to rent that bunny mascot when she was afraid that her Harry Potter costume from eBay won't come in time for the party she was going to attend. (Cue me whining about not having a Halloween date)
Thus, the both of us are determined that next year, we won't be spending Halloween being ourselves. We are going to be part of it no matter what!

Earlier in the morning yesterday during Social Psychology, I had a sudden idea and told Lydia (my lecture mate!) how it sucks that we aren't living in countries where Trick or Treat is practiced. If I ever had the chance, I would dress up as Pedobear and wait for little kids to knock on my door. And the rest would be history!

I'm such a genius!

P.S.  I've always thought that those people who claim that cosplayers are lame and yet dress up during Halloween are idiots! Cosplayers are awesome! I wish I had the balls to cosplay.

Next year, next year will be my year!
