OMG
Have you seen Wall-E??!!!
Gosh he's so drop dead gorgeous cute!!!! Frankly, never knew a robot could be THIS cute!
Especially with those killer puppyish eyes of his, truly madly deeply adorable! Btw, don't you reckon those eyes somehow bear an uncanny resemblance to Puss in Boots'? Kan kan?
Wall-E's Eve. Sleek, modern and sophisticated, such stark contrast in comparison with Wall-E. Btw, anyone agrees with me that she looks somewhat like an iPod?
Am so in love with this scene! Not quite sure why though. Perhaps it's the stunning sapphire stardust (err, are those stardust btw? oh whatever, I'll just settle with stardust because it sounds pretty! LOL) against the velvet universe, simply breathtaking!
Wish I could do what Wall-E did with the stardust too, so deceivingly romantic. Ok, I know I'll probably be incinerated yada yada if I try doing so but can we please be less pragmatic and more imaginative here? (Gee, why am I so defensive anyway? wtf)
The lighter scene, another favourite scene of mine. =)
Yet another favourite scene of mine! *heart melts*
Absolutely love this movie! It's amazing how feelings of affection could also be conveyed with such intensity without the aid of words. But on second thought, who knows, such intensity might have been lost with words as Roland Barthes argues that "... writing is the destruction of every voice, of every point of origin".
Affection (or in this case, love) is afterall a primitively innate human disposition, a feeling that is beyond words; and that initial feeling is lost as soon as writing commences because its intensity will be restricted in order to suit a literary framework. Ultimately, our verbal expression is restricted by our literary knowledge and linguistic skills. Isn't it ironic how literature seems to precede experience?
Gosh I'm such a nerd! Why am I talking about Barthes anyway? Oh well, check out Roland Barthes' The Death of the Author if you're interested, or simply enroll yourself in Authorship & Writing if you're in Monash, LOL.
Back to Wall-E, yes of course it's one heck of a movie, catch it if you haven't already done so. Simply adore it! =)
p.s. On a more random note, am baffled by one question, given the state of immobility and obesity that humans sadly achieved in Wall-E, how could they possibly ahem ahem to conceive babies??!!! *laughs* Perhaps in vitro fertilization?

Had dinner at Izakaya Chuji before the movie. Finally, a proper Japanese restaurant run by ACTUAL Japanese! *gasps* Speaking of authenticity, hehe.
Love this teapot! So vintage. ^^
My dinner --> una tama don (eel on rice).
Unfortunately, reckon I'm not entitled to be giving a verdict because......
I. PUKED.
Almost straight after dinner.
To cut a long story short, I forgot to eat lunch and we all know what will happen when you have a sudden food intake after starving for too long (technically, I wasn't even feeling hungry, such deceiving stomach I seem to have, LOL).
Poor Izakaya, I'm so sorry, your food was definitely not puke-inducing. Don't worry, I'm determined to pay you a visit soon to make it up to you! =)
Anyway, moving along. Went to my darling Koko Black after the movie. \(*.*)/
Went to the one at Lygon Street and I must confess, this was actually my FIRST time to Lygon Street's Koko Black (yes I know I'm very suaku, thank you and shut up!) and it's so much better than the one at Bourke Street (and by that, I meant decor and space wise).
!
The boys, who momentarily revealed their 'homosexuality' as they lovingly shared their chocolate martini. *shivers* Wahaha!
The girls, whose superior tastes prompted them to choose the exact same thing --> iced chocolate! (Great minds think alike, wahaha)
My divine iced chocolate! *drools*
Engulfed in to-die-for chocolate and heaps of trash talking (which strangely revolved around the origin of a certain love child aka char siu zai, hehe), I was simply beaming with joy!
******
So was watching 'You Don't Mess with the Zohan' the other night. Nothing special about the movie, just another Yankee movie that seizes every blinking opportunity to disseminate their oh-so-great American supremacy propaganda yada yada. *yawns* And did I also mention the movie's so-called sense of humour was just intellectually challenged?
Anyway, there was one particular scene though, that actually got me thinking. The scene where this guy (obviously I'm not bothered to remember his name) stopped Zohan from working in the electronic shop, claiming that it's a dream killer. It really got me thinking, nope, to be more precise, it hit me hard.

Something interesting happened at work today. Got a phone query from John in ITS Gippsland, told me briefly a student had some difficulties with the online scholarship application before putting the student on the line.
As soon as the 'student' started talking, I knew immediately that he was Peter. What a small world indeed! =)

I'm so in love with Tennyson's In Memoriam A.H.H.! *touched*

And oh, Selamat Hari Raya! =)
