the nanny diaries

i came across this movie long before i could get my hands on the book. i really enjoyed watching the movie, thought it was brilliant, as it gave many interesting insightful tips to raising kids, especially if they arent your own.

i guess what intrigues me the most, is to see how the other, better, wealthier people live. if i were younger i would love to be a nanny for a wealthy family, to be a fly on the wall, to see what their lives would be like. so i guess this movie is a like a fantasy sneak peak into that.

but .. looking at what these poor nannies go through, life isnt so great. i loved the movie, story line, characters (especially harvard hottie) and the fashion. after i finished reading the book, i loved the story even more. Really easy to read, hard to put down. recommend it to anyone who wants a good holiday read. i could easily watch the movie over and over again :o)...

Wilbur the Wildcat

i love wilbur the wildcat, i love watching him at the home games doing stupid crazy stuff and generally acting like an idiot. this cat cracks me up. he has absolutely no shame at all and just loves interacting with the audience, the players and the opposing team. I get so distracted with what ever wilbur's up to ... i miss part of the game, heheh, woops.

cacharel scarlett

i came across this perfume whilst browsing the perfume displays in DJs garden city. not intending to buy anything, just curious to see what the new perfumes from D & G smelt like.
The D & G perfumes were pretty much forgettable, even though there were 5 released at the same time, each named after a super male/female model.

but i did come across this and i was instantly blown away... as soon as i smelt it... i knew i had to buy it... from strawberrynet that is. this tight ass chick aint paying retail! uh uh...
it was a beautiful, sweet, light, fruity and flowery smell that could easily be worn everyday and not give you a headache. i loved the bottle which i thought was unusual and very unique.

so i jumped on strawberrynet ... and there it was... 100ml for $88, not bad i said to myself.... but i wanted to buy more so i would get further discounts...

anyways... 2 months later, i still havent bought the perfume, it is now out of stock on strawberrynet... and i crave it even more!

ai yaaa... guess i'll just go to DJ late night shopping tomorrow and get my fix.

i have also just bought Marc Jacobs perfume - which is super duper nice and i love LOVE LOOOOVVEEEE it... only wear it when i'm going out to somewhere nice.

i just wear my old gucci envy everyday to school - i'm trying to finish it.

what do you wear as an everyday scent?
what's your favourite perfume right now?

share your comments below!
i would love to get to know my readers!

weekend of gluttony

wow.. the weekend just passed... was a total food fest.

we have either eaten at a restaurant or a take away meal from friday night to sunday night.
Most of it was a chinese restaurant of some sort, which means total greasy goodness. but by sunday morning, my stomach did not quite agree..... how ever we had a lunch and dinner date to attend and could not decline.

so to yum cha we went for sunday brunch, at dragon seafood on francis street.
food is good, variety - just the usual, nothing made us excited ...BUT!! the crowds... OMFG the crowds was crazy. sure, the size of the crowd is a good indication of the restaurant's food, must be bloody good.

But geeezz... i definitely dont want to wait 30-40 minutes every time we go to yum cha.
2 thumbs up for great tasting food (prolly really high msg... eheheh)
but i'm not impressed by the crowds.

i'd rather go to our favourite dim sum place, royal seafood on aberdeen street.
5-10 minutes to get a table (no booking) - GREAT variety of foods that make you go.."hmm i'd like to try that" ..."ooo that looks good".... "whats that! i want it "
and no crowds!

xxoo

ps: my blabber mouth ways have bitten me back in the bum.
have learnt my lesson, keep your mouth shut, be a professional.

hot off the press

we just got told today staffing for 2010

before today, we were warned HUGE changes were happening... so be fore warned...

i was scared, apprehensive, worried and very anxious... because i want to know which class i will be teaching next year. i wanted the next set of "dream" kids ... i'm over the current bunch.

but much to my dismay... i am now going along with my current class and i'm going to be their teacher again next year.

my worst nightmares HAD COME TRUE...

i am moving up a grade with the current bunch, along with all their problems. sigh.... oh wells...
what can you do?

on the plus side, i am working with a new partner teacher, which i am looking forward too... but i will miss my current buddy teacher whom i work so well with.

such is life... think i really have to try for a bub :oP
