Life in technicolor

Both of my parents come from a huge family.My mother has 8 other siblings while my dad has 6 other siblings(one of them passed away 2 years ago).All of my dad's parents have passed away.

While my mother still have her mother and yesterday we celebrated her 77th birthday with lotsa food and love.Last week on Saturday we had iftar together as one big family as well.Below are some of the pictures..:)

*Happy*(sorry for bad pic,the lighting there was very dim!)

Shopped quite a bit tonight after berbuka at Ole2 Bali & got quite an earful from the boyf.But he loves me so he'll let me have my way(though not all the time),plus he got a little sumtin from Machines as well..hehe.Some of the stuffs I got..:)

*Finally got myself a speaker--a cute one at that but very very loud!:P*

*It's hard to see me wear a shirt whenever I go out as I'll be in a dress/top.This was put up high on the racks & I asked the boyf to grab it for me as it was too cute & the best part was that it was super super soft..lovesss!*

*Got these shoes at the new Payless Shoe Source at Sunway Pyramid(frm the States) *

*Use my Bodyshop voucher to buy these*

*Pretty blue bag from payless as well*

Last night after berbuka with the boyf,we went to watch The Rise of Planet of the Apes.I did remember watching the first movie a long long time ago when I was a kid so I forgotten already what has happened with the whole storyline & how it started blah2.Luckily for me,my man is an avid movie fan so he knows about it & guide me when I'm a bit lost.

This movie is quite action packed and make you look at an ape/chimpanzee in a whole different light.They are very intelligent and have a much stronger antibody than humans(which will be further explained if you watch the movie and you should!).There are many times when I felt sorry for the apes and there were a few touching scenes that will make you shed a tear or two.

Will's bond with Caesar was so touching and I love watching the progress that Caesar went through growing up.One of the scary/brilliant part of the movie was when Caesar tried to take control of all the apes at the primate sanctuary.He is definitely one brilliant ape!

I would love to write more on the synopsis of the movie but I believe that people who are skeptical about a movie on apes,should give it a try.Brilliant acting from James Franco,Andy Serkis(as the apes) and John Lithgow.The pretty Freida Pinto and also Tom Felton is in it.

Also at the end of the movie,you should wait when the credits roll as there is a 'preview' of what's to come.

I managed to watch the 1968 version of the movie today with the boyf as well and boy,they used a lot of the lines from the 1st movie in the current movie.For example an ape in the current movie name is Bright Eyes while in the old movie,the astronaut is called Bright Eyes!Tom Felton's character uttered a line that was something like this "Get your paws of me you dirty apes!" which was uttered in the old movie as well.

I suggest for those who have forgotten about the old movie or didn't know about it,should watch the new one and then watch this 1968 one to compare & it will be mind boggling!

Last night,after breaking our fast,I went to watch the 3D version of Captain America:The First Avenger with the boyfriend.My verdict?It was quite okay and enjoyable but it wasn't great.It was very funny seeing the tiny version of Chris Evans.There was some good parts in the movie but truthfully,don't watch it in 3D..there's not that much difference.

Captain America is just a very polite superhero.He made me want to try and be nicer to others.Even those I don't like.haha.Towards the end,there was a very teary eyed part in the movie.Ah,love..:)

For a girl who didn't read the comic,the end was a bit mind boggling to me.Luckily the boyfriend explained it to me.Also,I wouldn't have known that Howard Stark was Iron Man's father if it wasn't for him.

And oooh,doesn't Sebastian Stan look very dishy as Bucky?Girls would have remembered him as Carter Baizen from Gossip Girl or in the real gossip world,as the ex of Leighton Meester.

One of my fave character was Peggy Carter played by Hayley Atwell.She had lots of spunk and was tough, but at the same time,maintaining her femininity and very ladylike.My kind of woman!haha.I'd give the movie 6 out of 10.

The pic above is what I had for berbuka last night for the first time with the boyf.Didn't manage to do so during the previous 4 days of fasting as I'll go straight back home after work to break my fast with the family.Haven't had pizza in a long time!

Me & him,mucking about!:) (You can see my reflection in the mirror!)

Above is a picture from my mum's watermelon patch.Two different kinds of watermelon we have there.Ain't it pretty?

I haven't been to Old Blossom Box Store,the shop by lovely Jezmine Blossom in quite sometime due to being busy.So yesterday I managed to do so & gotten myself a pretty cherry necklace & a dress from her. I love their new paper bag.So pretty!Pictures of the bag & new my purchases are below..:)
