On my way home yesterday,a little girl who was accompanied by her maid sat down beside me on the bus.My usual daydreaming was interupted by the adorable little girl's demands..

The sweetie took off a tiny pink bubblegummers sandals and said with an adorably innocent voice..

Little girl:Auntie,my feet are itchy!Can you help scratch it for me?
Poor maid:*amused*No,I'm sorry..but you'll have to scratch it yourself..
Little girl:*innocently*But why,I want you to scratch it for me!!
Poor maid:But I can't,you should scratch your feet yourself
Little girl:*pleadingly*But why?Pls auntie..pls can you scratch it for me?
---Using her manipulatively sweet innocent voice to charm her maid into scratching her little toes for her,but unfortunately for this young sweetheart,the maid was quite adamant about it.

I just finished an awesome mindboggling japanese drama series called the Liar Game,introduced by Ashley.Its the very first jap/korean/taiwanese drama I've watched and i really like it!Diana didn't fancy it though as she thought it was too boring.But if you like movies with mind games and unexpected twists,the show is fabulously intriguing.

The series is based on the popular manga comic,and although I haven't read the comics..I think the producers did a great job in incorparating signature anime characteristics and behaviour,as well as the costumes.Certain characters were outrageously dressed in outfits that could only appear in manga or anime.One minor detail I noticed was how the Mr mushroom headed guy(can't remember the jap name)'s red scarf was always stiffly upturned in a comical cartoon like fashion.

The gist of the story revolved around a terribly innocent girl who believes in everybody.As a result,she's the favorite candidate for pranks and tricksters.She gets chosen to participate in the Liar Game,and is given 100 million yen.The objective of this game was to trick her opponent into giving her his 100 million yen.At the end of the game,the winner will be the one who as scammed the most money and 100 million yen will be returned to the organistion.While the surplus can be kept as a prize money.However,the loser,will also have to return his/her respective 100 million yen..despite his/her deficit..leaving the loser in debt.Its a very cruel game,where people scam another in order to gain profit for oneself.In order to succeed,you've got to block out human emotion and the despair that the loser will face due to the enormous debts.

She enlists the help of the swindler,fresh out of jail.It turns out that this guy was a psychology major.His mum was cheated by a multilevel marketing company(which incidently,runs the Liar game as well) and resulted in a mountian of debts.Being honest and kind at heart,she had no desire to cheat people of their money and as a results saw suicide as the only resort as her insurance money would be enough to cover the debts and see her son through university.

This girl reminded him alot of his mother,and he became very protective over her..agreeing to help her through the game.Its interesting to see how the participants of the Liar game uses their wits and betraying one another in order to win the game.Many alliances were formed and broken,all at the expense of the entertainment of an old man to ran the corperation.

Why did this guy go to jail btw?Well as hatred and anger festered in this young boy's heart,and he ended up scamming the company which destoryed his mother..and was put in jail.
Anyway,after seeing how much this girl's character resembled his late mother's..he resolves to help her get out of the game debt-free.They go through several rounds of the liar games,undergoing several challenges that requires a shrewd mind.And all the while,the girl remains simple minded and just willing to please everybody.

The mastermind of this liar game is an embittered old man,who's innocence and believe in good character has been weathered and beaten down as a child.Thus,he holds this game as a cruel joy to see other people torment and betray one another for monetary gains and trying to prove a point that humans are selfish,and evil by nature.
----------Reminds me alot about the movie SAW,except the focus was on psychology and wits rather than GORE--------------
One of the parts I loved most of how he channeled his hatred and bitterness towards mankind through a painting that he did during the last months of his life(he was dying,so "Saw" the movie eh?) It portrayed humans having invisible demons attached to them,clinging on and festering within them.
Towards the end,the girl's wellmeaning ways and stubborn resolve to remain good and kind hearted despite being played out many times in the game struck a raw note in him.And slowly he begin to realise that some humans are still so willing to put others before themselves and the goodness does lie in the hearts of them.Her strong resolve to be unassuming and giving people second chances altered his thinking and soon he was able to let go off his painful past.
The show ends as on a brooding and pensive mood as the old man modifies his painting to reflect his revelation of the rare goodness of the girl's heart.The series was seriously quite a heavyweight show brimming with psychology,scams and unpredictable turnouts.
Quite cool,and definately not for the fluff-hearted.:D

It was just a normal day, in her regular mundane life..
Suddenly,woman's intuition pricks her..and paranoia strikes.
She rummage through items,searching for incriminating evidence.
Cold fear pierces the heart.She wants to be proved wrong,yet she can't shake off the terrible feeling that something was wrong.very very wrong.
A white mist,flirty and frivolous creep into the night and stole his heart.
Took it away like a backhanded theft.
That was a year ago..

When the wife found out about her husband's infidelity,she felt a portion of her heart crumble to dust inside of her. This dull ache inside coursed through her body,filling every part of it.Tears well up as her heart is torn inside,she wants to cry out yet the chilling numbness prevents her from doing so.

The long awaited Confessions of a Shopaholic movie has arrived in singapore! Joanna,Yewey and I went to watch it at West mall's cinema.Despite Diana's caution that movie critics said the show wasn't very good,I still wanted to watch it:)

For those who don't know,or have yet to read the book..

The movie Confessions of a shopaholic is based on the series of books by Sophie Kinsella. The main character, Rebeccca Bloomwood is a raging shopaholic, and simply cannot walk pass a store without heading in and leaving with a multitude of purchases. And her uncontrollable urge to spend soon gets her into very sticky situations..
The Shopaholic series are great light hearted reading, and I really love the books!Although I find that Becky Bloomwood is alittle too spoilt and frivolous at times, but its those happy go lucky, unrestrained and passionate antics of hers that makes her so endearing.Either we wished we could be more like her, or in someways identify with the rush of giddy delight each time we make a purchase.As well as the sickening dip when we finally realise that we've made a purchase that we cannot afford.AGAIN.
I was pretty impressed by the way the movie producers managed to mix and match all 3 books into 1 movie, however didnt like it so much coz they changed alot of the parts and the sequence of events.Minor details were also left out,such that Suze has BLONDE hair but the actress had black in that movie.And Luke had a girlfriend called Sasha,and Alicia was never in the picture.
Perhaps thats why movie critics slammed the ratings.But overall,gorgeous clothes and a chock full of infectionous energy..
