one celeb and his wierd fashion sense

I’m not sure how often celebs or rock bands, to be more precise, go shopping or where indeed they do their shopping but sometimes they just wear the lamest outfits.

Like there’s this guitarist in a certain up and coming rock band (we won’t mention names here ) who loves to wear this tuxedo vest on stage. It makes him look like a waiter, not the hot guitarist he is, know what I mean? But obviously to him, that tux is a treasured item in his wardrobe as he seems to wear it ever so often.

I know, I know, one man’s fashion is another man’s poison, right? Still! I think he has a pretty odd fashion sense. I’m guessing he needs a fashion consultant maybe? Just sayin’.

no remote fights

DH has recently bought a new flat screen TV. He’d taken a fancy to them when they first came out but as usual, the kids and I were trying to dissuade him from buying one since our old TV is still working.

Now we’ve got two televisions and DH is the only one big TV fan in the house. I guess when you’re a sports fan, the TV is your best friend. The rest of us barely even watch TV on a good day because what’s there to watch but reruns.

They don’t screen new movies on TV so all we ever get are reruns and we hate reruns, period. So DH is happy he’s got both TV remotes all to himself . We’re one family that doesn’t have remote fights.

our Fast and Furious weekend

Last weekend, we watched “Fast and Furious”. I mean, what else do you do if you get free tickets and free popcorn to boot? And of course, we loved the movie. It had us on the edge of our seats from start to finish.

Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) teams up again to go after the bad guys after Dom loses his girlfriend. Plenty of hot car chases down narrow ravine paths complete with rolling wrecks and tire screeches.

If you’re at loose ends this weekend, you’ve just got to go watch this movie. And go watch it at the cinema for the sound effects and chair-grippig excitement !

the lion dances have started

The lion dances have started. These days, they start early even before Chinese New Year. I watched my first one this year at 1 Utama last weekend. It was brilliant as usual. I think it’s our international lion dance champions performing there. Sorry I don’t know the name of the troupe.

Gotta love how the lion sails effortlessly through the air to land ever so softly on the next set of raised stilts. I haven’t uploaded the photos I took last weekend but here’s one I took last year of the same lion dance troupe at their best.

If you happen to be shopping at 1 Utama this weekend, be sure to check out the lion dance schedule.
