I Recommend.....

Over the past week, I have seen 2 movies that I highly recommend that you go watch. The first is "The Last Kiss". It stars Zach Braff of the TV series "Scrubs," and Rachel Bilson of "The OC." It's a story of making choices. I like the movie because it is nicely done, not "trying hard" and very realistic.

The other movie (well, more of a documentary) is "An Inconvenient Truth." It "stars" Al Gore, the supposed-to-be-US-president. It mainly talks about global warming. You would be shocked about the facts that were stated and would really make you want to take part in saving mother earth.......sigh!

Sunday R&R

Last sunday, I had brunch with 2 of my good friends from our volleyball group. We ate at Kabb located in Xintiandi. Aside from being a hangout for queers on a sunday, it's pretty much known also for their inexpensive prices and generous servings. After eating, we then went window-shopping at the mall nearby and I ended up buying (finally!) a portable heater and a vaccum cleaner. Then we kinda felt the heat inside the mall since we were wearing 5 layers of clothing so I decided to take them to Changle Lu, a street with a number of small boutiques where I would like to go to for shopping for clothes.

I believe a couple more shops have opened ever since my last visit to the area. I guess there's a rapid invasion of boutiques and theyr'e trying to take over the whole stretch of the road. I love it!

Later that afternoon, we decided to book ourselves for an hour and a half session of foot massage at 8pm. Two more friends joined us for the massage and for dinner. Yes, the session comes with dinner and you get to order as much as you want. Amazing right? It was a really good deal but then, in all honesty, it kinda felt unrelaxing to both eat and have a foot massage at the same time.

By the time we got out, it was almost 10pm. We then headed to the 2 famous dvd/cd shops just across. Take a look at the outside:



These shops are just directly in front of each other. Noticed anything on the second shop???

Apparently, the signage works!!! The other shop has nobody in it.

Lancome Man

Lancome has named Clive Owen as their spokesperson for their new fragrance for men Hypnôse Homme and their new anti-aging skin care range Lancôme Men.

I still think he should have been the new James Bond.

Waterworld

It has been a while since I last posted an entry so what better way to make up for it is to show you guys something breathtaking.....


"Atkin's Architecture Group recently won the first prize award for an international design competition with this stunning entry. Set in a spectacular water filled quarry in Songjiang, China, the 400 bed resort hotel is uniquely constructed within the natural elements of the quarry. Underwater public areas and guest rooms add to the uniqueness, but the resort also boasts cafes, restaurants and sporting facilities. The lowest level runs with the aquatic theme by housing a luxurious swimming pool and an extreme sports center for activities such as rock climbing and bungee jumping which will be cantilevered over the quarry and accessed by special lifts from the water. With a stunning visual presentation as shown here, it's no wonder this project took home the first prize. This is a fine example of an ultra modern facility co-existing amongst its natural environment. " (Thanks Andy G.)
