dorian gray- ben barnes?
Friday, July 25, 2008,9:08 PM
I decided to read
THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY. It was in one of mum's oldish omnibuses of Oscar Wilde's works, so I thought I ought to read it and see what Ben Barnes is in for in his next movie.
(
Ben Barnes is going to play Dorian Gray in the adaption of the book)
when i started the book, i thought he was perfect for the role--
'with his finely-curved scarlet lips, his frank blue eyes, his crisp golden hair... One felt that he had kept himself unspotted from the world.'
Perfect, except for the blonde part. The part about him being unspotted from the world? Well, that will change. I'm giving no spoilers here, but I'm not watching the last bit of the film.

it's hard not to love its fruity-ness and gumminess.

to get myself out of the house (and to cure my boredrom) i went out with mira and syaz today and we ate at cheezbox :D our order was taken by an awfully slow trainee waiter who kept getting the orders wrong. ('milo milk tea with nata de coco?') we managed to shop quite a bit while teasing mira about her rafi. we were like, 'hey, wouldn't it be nice to spot him from here?' Then mira said 'hey, he's in gadong now.' sheer coincidence. :D
Syaz got a slogan shirt that she will wear in front of her 'kerbau' in hopes he will realise... um, things. Mira got flip-flops. despite our attempts to look for nice dresses, it seemed that most of the dresses either had odd finishing touches that messed it up entirely or the wrong fabric, the wrong colour or the price was simply beyond our budget. we went into rock paper scissors again, and found a bunch of little miss shirts :D sadly we didn't buy anything, AGAIN.
syaz, we have got to go back there with enough to buy the little miss shirts! you'll get little miss giggles and i'll get little miss trouble.
joan, if you're in brunei, i need to talk to you about the dance classes. ching, i'll talk to you about it when you get back.
PS: i got nail polish today at the face shop :D
PPS: mira, remember to do the little miss quiz on facebook
PPPS: i got my haircut 2 days ago.
edit: a russian woman kills her husband with a folding bed-couch thing. whoa. [

next time, before you think something is gay, think again.
this 19 yr old south african man, Andile Ndlovu through ballet, managed to get out of poverty and go to usa to pursue his ballet career. Ballet is a predominantly 'white' sport, so there were prejudices. he is one of the few african ballet dancers.

from what the video shows, he's one powerful dancer.

to last the entire summer;

summer has just started but i've already started missing you lot. lying around at home doing nothing doesn't beat hanging around with all of you guys. in short, i miss school,
i think.
i've made facebook. add me.Labels: random, thoughts
in the summertime, i fear i'm gonna lose my mind

today was the activities day. it was pretty tiring but nevertheless fun. we got teamed up with what natasha called 'the sporty guys,' she was all set on winning! :D the kayaking was fun as usual but the guys didn't trust us girls to be able to go on our own.
everyone's pretty much in a holiday mood now, we made miss perry's leaving card in english today, and miss thompson danced to 'hate that i love you.' funny. in the midst of this there was syaz reading a book about sylvia plath and bronwen taking videos, people admiring flags and mathew twisting pipe cleaners. miss perry's going to spain! she actually cried when we gave her the card. (also it had paper flowers that i made, hehe)
after that, sara's leaving party at camille's. we made ju-on into a funny movie, wei thong reading the subtitles, nurul predicting what was coming next and sara trying to make the scary noises. I've got some pictures, again. now i'm really contemplating on whether to have a facebook or not. i've totally abandoned my friendster account, it's a bore.
tomorrow's last day of school, three lessons then assembly then it's end of year ten, which is pretty quick. miss r had decided to let us have a teensy party in art tomorrow. she's leaving, so we'll end up with either miss bennett or miss stroud... not sure which one i'd prefer, the only advantage is now that art will be in T block.
also, tomorrow is the day that ling officially turns sixteen, but as she puts it, 'i've been in the world longer than all of you guys.'
today's RINA's birthday :D
and a lot of love goes out to ching who will be flying to london
alone. have fun and stay safe chingles. will miss you a ton.
this is what summer does to you:
Tanning’s bad for you!
I know it’s a risk. I wear SPF 30 all the time. But come on, it’s summer!
