Love Instagram!

Today was a pretty fruitful day.

Men In Black 3

Watched MIB3 with a friend which was actually surprisingly good. I wasn't really going into the movie with any high expectation so that's probably why. We watched the digital version and not the 3D one, which I guess after a while nobody really cares anymore because it just induces headaches and nausea. Well I'm just using my experience from playing my 3DS over. 



It's probably different but the last time I watched a 3D movie, the glasses I wore was resting on this giant pimple on the bridge of my nose, it was just plain uncomfortable, couldn't enjoy the movie, like how I couldn't enjoy Underworld : Rise Of The Lycans because I really had to pee but there was no toilet in the theater... but it was worth it to hold it in because the release was Amazing~!



Today was really fruitful because I managed to get a few things that I've been planning to get for a long time.




First was an expensive earphone. I wanted to splurge a bit on my earphones.

Chio Box


So I got myself a pair of Marshall Minor. I don't actually know what the brand is but the box looks really nice so I decided to be a little shallow and get them. Even my sister knows about the brand more than me... and I'm the geeky one.

F*cking love Instagram.

 The box opens and the earphones get presented to you. Although I have to say the earphones are so-so because I couldn't really hear the difference, than again I guess my ears are a little damaged because I like to blast music through my earphones, that's why all my earphones spoil so fast.


They cost $99.... after a 10% discount thanks to the GSS I think it became $98.10 or something whatever 90% of $99 is. And I also got a cover for my iPhone from there, which had a 30% discount which was awesome.


Never get a book because the cover's fancy. Ever!

The last book I got from Popular was so fucking boring (pictured above) I could've died. Usually when I read novels, I will usually get to a point when I get so engrossed in it I will finish 300 pages of it in like 4 hours. The last few books I bought I got that but  I spend 4 days attempting to read this novel and I only got to page 100.


I wouldn't say it's a bad book, you probably need to be a fan of such novels to enjoy it. But the characters are so generic. I kept comparing The Millennium Trilogy to this book while I was reading it and I couldn't help but notice how boring the main character is compared to Lisbeth Salander.

"A top government assassin who is very private and keeps to himself" ..... *Yawns*

That's like the main character stereotype in every other CIA movie
Waste of my money. Once again it's just my personal opinion because that books got rave reviews, it's just that personally I don't like it.... at all.




But I've gotten another book from Kinokuniya and I have high hopes for it because I've been wanting to get it for a while now. The reason I bought "Kill Shot" from Popular was because that was the only one that sounded remotely interesting there.

Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children


There are like tons of really weird pictures inside. Probably not such a good book to read in camp, at night while doing duty in the supposedly "haunted" part of camp. But it looks good, I mean the weird girl on the cover is floating....Ooooooo~

Need another new book.


Baking day.

Strawberry and Cream Sponge Cake.




Since my last post I have bought, read and completed reading a new book. 

The Help

It's actually a really good book, but I can't help but feel like I'm reading my Secondary 1 literature book because both book are talking about racism, except my literature book was a fucking boring kids novel and this one is actually really entertaining.

To think I was forced to read the whole book in secondary school when I could have just gone to Wikipedia and read the "Plot" section.

In need of a new book...

After completing all 3 books from the Millenium Trilogy, I decided that it was time to start reading books that doesn't have a movie adaptation.


So I went down to Popular one day to get a new novel , which is a bad idea because going to Popular to buy a book is like coming to Singapore to buy Winter Clothes. I mean Popular sells books but their range is really limited so all they had was a shitload of Hunger Games, a bit of Twilight, some Harry Potter lying around and this new book called 50 Shades of Grey, which I instantly placed back at the "Hot Seller" section after realizing it's some love novel that started as a Twilight Fan Fiction, and we know that Twilight fans are a bit loose in the head,  I mean I watched on video on Youtube about this girl crying her eyes out after watching the Trailer for Breaking Dawn.

You're Welcome~!


And then I saw this book....



And I decided to get it despite the back telling me it's going to be a love story between a Witch and a Vampire. I was going to over look that minor setback because Witchcraft and Magic sounds like it will be fun.


But of course because the main character is a Witch, and one that has denied her fucking heritage, she hardly uses her magic until the back of the book, and the back is hard to get to because the middle portion of it is about her and the Vampire falling in love, which was pretty hard to read because my mind kinda switched off at that part. It's so bloody boring, there are 2 pages in the back that I skimmed through and decided was stuff that I could just skip past because it was just the main character and the vampire giving each other blow jobs in a non crude way.


I would probably enjoy it if it was crude because when my mind was painting the picture, it was actually censored by a blanket thanks to the author's description. 


On second thought I'm not even sure if that really happened or that I just couldn't be fucked by the love story portion I just read past the middle portion of the book so quickly everything just clicked the way I wanted them to and not how the author intended them to.


But the last part was slightly better because the main character started using a bit of magic and some revelations were made. Overall it's not a bad book per se and I will probably get the sequel, but the love story part of the book I can do without because it's just so fucking boring.
