Forget About The Price Tag :)

I'm currently hooked on this song. It's so carefree and fun! Jessie and B.o.B totally rocked it.

Stung.

This was such a fun movie. Made me forget my troubles for a moment. Jay Chou was honestly quite good!

As with "Burlesque", if you're looking for plot, this is not for you.

Anyway, school just started this week and I'm plagued with stupid problems regarding course registration. Haven't really been happy these few days... I'm praying they will get solved soon Edit: They just got solved!! Woot! On another note, I submitted my application for overseas exchange last night. Here's hoping I can get a placement. Fingers and toes crossed!!!

People always ask what others have done for them. Yet they didn't think of what they themselves have done for others in the first place. Sad.

Show Me How You Burlesque

What can I say? The critics hated it, but I love it.

Christina's voice is just so powerful. And Cher certainly has acting chops!

Yea I know the plot kinda sucked, but the burlesque numbers and awesome soundtrack more than made up for it.

Do yourself a favour and catch this!

Horoscope Shift?

If it's actually true, then I would be a Capricorn. I was an Aquarius by the way. I looked up the profile of the Capricorn and yea, it makes more sense if I'm a Capricorn.

Dominating Characteristics They are stable, patient and dependable. They aim and work for its accomplishment. They are good at business (??). Self control & self reliance are their specialties. They always return a favour received. They make good and true friends (Do I? Hope so).

Character analysis The Capricorn symbolized by goat, an animal which delights in climbing the highest mountain and most precipitous rock. Hard work, fatigue and self denial are counted as nothing by them. At times they are reserved, secretive and tactical. They are unmoved by flattery and seldom express surprise. They are interested in everything under the sun from Philosophy to Archeology. They are methodical in every thing they do. They take all the pain in surmounting difficulties that comes in their way. If baulked of a position of authority and made to work under the domination of others, they become gloomy, morose and critical. They always long for moral and intellectual freedom. Typical Capriconians are not easily roused to anger but they are very slow to forgive if provoked. They have the tendency to keep in mind a wrong and wreak vengeance at the right time. They are inclined to be jealous and suspicious. As a whole they tend to rank among the noblest people of  the human race.

I just couldn't bear to not watch it on the big screen.

And I'm so glad I did.

Britney's Back.

Please listen to the new single "Hold It Against Me" if you haven't. It's beyond heavenly.

Ok enough with the stanning. Haha.

Anyway, many of you wonder why I love Britney so much. Like, what's so nice about Britney? She doesn't have a good voice, she lips-sync...etc. So I'm gonna tell you right now.

Yes, it's true Britney doesn't have a very strong solid voice, but you can't deny that her voice is distinct and different, even when it's computerised or auto-tuned. It's the breathy vocals that makes her stand out from other singers.

Britney is not like your ordinary pop star. She dresses humbly, doesn't seek attention unlike someone else (you know who), and she's just like an ordinary mother going about with her kids, doing things all of us do. She doesn't care if her hair weaves look disastrous. She doesn't care if she got spotted picking her nose. She's just like us in everyday life. But once she puts her focus into music, the results are extraordinary. Britney knows what she wants. She sets trends, not follow them. Have you actually realised that with each new album she brings, it's always a different sound? And after that, every other pop star tries to adopt her sound. Producers and song-writers always find it a challenge to create music for Britney because they know it MUST be something different and unique.

Britney. She's an icon.

Stomp! Stomp! She's Arrived.

It's kinda rare that I blog so frequently these days but I just gotta dedicate an entire post to this awesome rising star that I so admire. Meet Jessie J.

Having garnered multi accolades recently (Google them), Jessie has already written many hits for other superstars but only now has she started to make a name for herself. With "Do It Like A Dude" out in both the US and the UK, Jessie is soon following up the stomping track with a feel-good positive song called "Price Tag" and it also features rapper B.o.B.

What I like about Jessie is that she's humble, down-to-earth, true, real, raw and talented with a swagger! She has absolutely one of the best voices I've heard in my entire life, comprising the strength and stamina of Christina Aguilera's voice with the beautiful vocal runs of Mariah Carey and Leona Lewis. And that's saying a lot.

I'm looking forward to her debut album "Who You Are" coming this March because I know that it will be packed full of awesome tracks. Meanwhile, here's a video of her performing "Price Tag" acoustically. You can hop on over to her official website to listen more of her songs.

Should Casual Eateries Ban Kids?

Came across this debatable topic on Yahoo!.

Apparently, some eateries have banned young children and babies from entering their premises so as not to disturb other guests lest they become noisy and rowdy.

I totally understand where they're coming from as I have had some unpleasant experiences, especially in the theatres. I mean, it's hard not to be annoyed when a baby cries and shrieks when you're like watching "Inception", right? Or when you're having a nice meal in a pleasant restaurant with nice, undisturbed ambience and suddenly 2 kids scream and run past your table just when you're about to place a piece of juicy roasted chicken meat into your mouth.

Not cool.

But if more and more eateries start following suit and ban kids, where will all the families go? Imagine you have a family and you want to have a family day out and dine at a restaurant. Where can you go? Nowhere. Or at least your choices would be limited. Sad, isn't it? What's more important is the kids wouldn't have the chance to dine out much!

In my honest opinion, maybe the rule would be more suitable and limited to fine dining outlets. Leave the casual dining options open to the kids.

Record Broken

It's the first time I've been to a cinema since I caught "Salt" last August.

And it's the first time I've finished a tub of popcorn all by myself! I deserve an award for this.

Anyway, I'm glad I managed to still catch "Narnia" after so long. It's the best out of the franchise! A pity it didn't perform as well at the box office.
