Yes that's right. Drama Princess, Char and Drama Queen, S.
I went out with S to celebrate his birthday yesterday~
He's not chinese. So its like a controversial thing to hangout, just the two of us.
Neither of us are bothered about the stares, finger-pointing and whispers because we LOVE the attention! :p It is rather surprising to get such reactions from Singaporeans considering the fact that we are a multi-racial and multi-cultural society.
Anyways, I brought S to a chinese restaurant DIN TAI FUNG(I know! Of all the places I had to choose a chinese restaurant right. Like we can't get enough of the spotlight already). He really enjoyed their specialty 小龙包 (xiaolongbao-pork dumpling) and the steamed sesame bun. If you're chinese, you should bring your non-chinese friends to DIN TAI FUNG to eat. Its authentic chinese cuisine that only brilliant chefs can cook up. The making of this xiaolongbao is an art in itself. The skin cannot be too thick or too thin. Too thick and it'll be like eating flour. Too thin - the dumpling's skin may tear and the soup gone. (FYI: You are to savour the soup in the small (bite-size) dumpling.)
The aunties beside our table were like eavesdropping on our conversation and looking at us period. So we made up things to talk about. Haha. It was FUN. There are too many things we talked about. Can't fill you in in all the details. Too troublesome and I'm sleepy. Dinner ended with asking the waitress to help us take pictures in the restaurant and outside.
Those pictures need work. Bad framing.
S said we should write to mediacorp and do a reality show together.
Should we? Hmm...

Sex and the City 2
Dear friends,
How have you been? I'm good and have recovered from shingles and exams fever! :D
(Shingles is the resurface of chickenpox virus in people who have chickenpox before. Suggested reasons for this resurfacing: Stress, illness(weak immune system) and/or aging. I hope mine was due to (exam)stress and weak immune system! >.< )
I couldn't stay home upon my recovery. And I managed to catch Ironman2 and Sex and the City 2 this week! ^-^
Yeah, two very different genre of movies. I was actually quite reluctant about watching SC2. The reviews that I read from newspapers and 8days magazine made it sound like a bimbo movie about women, clothes, branded goods, shopping and sex. But it wasn't like that at all! Its about how women are like these days, as compared to the old times.(All in American context but I think some apply to Asian women too. At least in this modern city of ours.)
The movie showed how the role of being a woman has changed over the centuries. (Reminds me of the literature text I did in jc: Top Girls.) Women used to be homemakers, wives, mothers, sisters and the weaker gender (in terms of finance, we can't say about physical strength because it varies across countries). But now, women have to be a wife and mother (if she has kids), they need to work too. Women want to be independent financially. They are sick of just waiting for men to bring the bread home. They are no longer seeing themselves as just wives and/or mothers. They see themselves as individuals who are able to generate paychecks and buy what they want/need.
Wee~ I am glad that women are able to achieve so much now and stand up for themselves.
I am proud to be a woman. (:
P.S. Have you starting shopping? YOU SHOULD. GSS has begun! I bought a new dress today~ ^-^
