Post Sex in the City Movie Thoughts

*spoiler alert*

Watched Sex in the City with my boyfriend recently, and I came out totally feeling happy and thinking hard after the show.

If you haven't watched it, YOU MUST WATCH IT!! It's one of the best movies EVER. =) 5 stars by me.

Happy, because after watching 6 seasons of the drama on DVD I finally get to see Carrie marry Mr Big (this is not exactly a spoiler because it's been over advertised in its various trailers anyway ;p). And there were many happy endings in the movie as well related to the other 3 girls which I also love. Samantha became her cool single self, Miranda made up with Steve and Charlotte had a beautiful baby girl :)

However, this movie also got my thinking real hard. I mean like these 4 girls are really tight... and I mean.. R E A L L Y... TIGHT. They can talk about anything in the world, and their friends will accept the fact. I mean, yea, they do fight and get angry with one another, but after some apology, the matter will just blow over and they'll forget afterward.

Also, these ladies here keep each other grounded, I think they know each other more than they know themselves. Haha. They're like the mirrors that never lie. They say the truth to their friend even if it hurts. And the other party usually takes it constructively. I wouldn't say that they don't judge each other... this is a fact of life.. like we judge, but it's a matter of whether you use that judgement to affect the relationship.

However, in reality, do friends like these really exist? Can you really talk to your close girlfriends about anything in the world? I mean there will always be some kind of filter when you talk to certain people won't there?

Also, in the asian context, it's tough to talk about sex. Well, it's getting better, but it's still a taboo subject.

How about when Samantha grew fatter because she eats so that she won't cheat? Carrie and the rest asked her about her fat tummy. But can you EVER imagine saying that to your close girlfriend? I mean... don't you think she'll feel offended? Samantha was just a little offended, and her reaction was not as bad as I imagined.

I have a few close girlfriends, but I totally cannot imagine asking them why they grew fatter (if they did). I think I would be slaughtered (especially when I'm genetically slim like since forever ;p)

So do BFFs like these exist in the asian context?

Is the movie too good to be true?

What do you think?

Tips to a Successful Blog Shop

Recently, or maybe not that recent, I've noticed that there has been an influx of blogshops. For the unsure, blogshops are just like any other shop, selling just about anything, just that it is set up online. Being an avid shopper, as well as one who spends time on the internet often, I have seen myself succumb to buying from blogshops. Many a time, my purchases are sweeeeet! I've not met any dead sellers or had any trouble with getting my items. But don't get me wrong... I still shop at retail shops. In fact, I love both :) Blog shops are fun to scroll through when I just don't have the time to step out (when exams are round the corner). Apart from being a buyer from online shops, I have also tried selling stuff by setting up my own blog shop. It didn't go so well though. Naturally, I prefer buying to selling stuff. Those who buy from blogshops, you may think that it is easy work, but it is a hell lot of work for the sellers. They have to choose the supplies from

Do you like Shark's Fin Soup?

There has always been talks about how fishermen leverage on the huge market for the consumption of sharks' fins and throw the dying shark back to the water after snipping off their fins, aka "live-finning". In JC, I've even watched a documentary endorsed by our very own Stephanie Sun (Sun Yan Zi) about the harm that this is causing on those sharks and other marine life. All these news left me a bit apprehensive and I even swore to lay off shark's fin. However, a few years ago, I remember hearing from my mum, after she had read an article on the Straits Times that we can eat shark's fin without guilt . An excerpt below: However, these sensational pictures obscure the fact that many within the industry are against such practices. The vast majority of fins in the market are taken from sharks after their death. This is the preliminary finding of a review made with the assistance of shark experts, fishermen, captains of big fishi

Localization of Advertisements

We all know that localization is important. Because it will be more relevant to the people looking at the ad. You can even see that from online marketing. For example, I signed up for Yahoo! email using yahoo.com instead of yahoo.com.sg, just because I thought the "sg" didn't look as cool. However, the ads that I got were all related to the US, which I learnt how to ignore in time. The good news it: recently, I was given the choice to change the ads to Singapore based ones, which were definitely better and more interesting. We've also seen the localization of musicals, which I have written about in another blog. The example was a personal experience of mine while watching the musical "We Will Rock You", where parts of the actors' scripts were changed to suit the Singapore culture. Evidence of localization in "We will Rock You" - adapted from pegpeg.wordpress.com 1. When the lead “accidentally” knocked into one of the audience down stage, he sa
