Christian Loubotin

I have been feeling so lazy, that I stayed at home today, the whole day melayan jer movies.
I will mention them in order of what I thought of them. First the movies that were the equivalent of the political scenario of our country. Utter crap, that is.

Do NOT watch the ultra stupid Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay or the super boring Semi Pro.If I had actually bought tickets to watch those two movies, I would have burnt down the cinema in question and embarked on a manhunt for all those involved in making such a lousy excuse for entertainment.

Then there were the movies that I watched for nostalgia's sake. Wayne's World and Wayne's World 2. Ok, so for those yang pernah tengok, I know the humor is a little dated... but what can I say?! That was my college period. It was cool.

And then there were the interesting movies like YPF (Young People F***ing) which is not dirty as it sounds as it highlights relationship issues and 21, which was... ok I guess, though I think the previews made it look better.

Then the kid in me made me watch Happy Feet and Kungfu Panda, both of which I am sure that I am the last person on earth to actually catch these two great animation fare.

Tapi yang pentingnya... I have watched... SEX AND THE CITY!

I admit ... even though I watch the series, I don't do it religiously. So I know the basic plot, the storyline more or less thus far, and also the characters, but screw the story... I wanted to see the fashion in it - which is the very same reason I'm sure that a lot of people bothered to watch this movie for in the first place.

And it was MIND BLOWING! Ok, so the relationship problems and stuff are pretty run of the mill - as is the ending. But everyone loves a good chick flick once a while.

And it was pretty good!

The fashions? WOW! Let's see. I can recognise some outfits to be Ralph Lauren, Burberry and Vivienne Westwood for sure. Bags are a mix of Chanel, Ferragamo, Alexander McQueen, Fendi and of course that instrumental Louis Vuitton which was highlighted.

Shoes had Manolo Blahnik, Dior, Moschino, Marc Jacobs among others.

But I spotted something familiar! And probably since I was on the lookout for it, since Boo da bagitau to keep an eye out.

Here's a still shot of what Charlotte wore for one of the scenes.



That's what I found on a style guide. Yeap. So the shoes which are the subject of my observation are the Christian Louboutin slingbacks. If you read my blog sometime end of March, you would think they're familiar too because I published these then.

Remember kasut sapa tak yang I photographed?. I was so fascinated by them when I first saw them that I had to take a picture of the shoes then. Yeap, even at that point aku tak penah dengar Christian Louboutin, I thought the trademark red soles were so amazing!

Of course the one the character of Charlotte wears is slightly different material as it's more of a silver snakeskin version while the top one is the silver glitter version. Tak kisah la. Janji it's a slingback, peep toe Christian Louboutin katanya...

So kasut sapa ni?

Fokus bebetul and pikirkan...

FOKUSSS!!!!

Heh! Dah dapat jawapan? Faz lah.. Who else has impeccable taste in shoes?Amik ko... the only reader yang recognise the Louboutins's then was a reader yang comment by the nick of misz_LA.

How'd I get from movies to heels? Nevermind... moving on.

Malas nak post much. Esok Festival Filem. So more pics then... Ta all...

PS - The opening of the Beijing Olympics just now was AWESOME! Best lighting of the torch ever!!!

Pooped out!!!

I am seriously tired out. Mana taknya...two days of kurang tidur. Dalam perjalanan balik yang seperti perjalanan ke Singapura berhenti sana sini je keja, had my much needed beauty sleep disrupted again and again.

Nak recap.

Semalam pagi...awal awal walaopon ala ala stoned tak cukup tidur (managed to curi tidur one hour after breakfast) da gi shopping. This after making sure everyone was up early sebab aku sendiri stayed up the whole night.

Awal pagi wake up call bilik Abie, Farihad dan jugak ketuk bilik Zul dan Syazwan. Merasalah paksa meka bangun breakfast, after which aku tidur. Heh...kejam tak?

We finally set off in a group of about five cabs.

First stop Marina. Which I didn't really like because it was just like any other mall.

Now, sales in Singapore which used to be the best, now just suck sebab nama je sale...tapi harga pon tak turun cam dulu.

So an hour later, finally the group broke in two, and me, and another three termasuk kak Su, gerak ke Orchard Road; Sana kami broke up again sebab the ladies wanted to go to Tangs.

Me?

I was too busy at Takashimaya sebab layan promo mainan Transformers which I knew they were having there.

Ingat nak beli tapi found the new collection of Transformers movie yang akan datang punya merchandise, quite cheap looking, unlike their price tags, so gave it a pass.

Went to pick up my perfumes in my regular store. Bought Bvlgari Black for my sis, along with another of her favourites in Paco Rabbane's XS. Also bought my mom punya Boucheron Jaipur which you can't find in Malaysia.

Tempted nak beli more perfume tuk diri sendiri, especially since they have an abundance in stock of Versace's Dreamer, tapi takpela.

Dreamer aku pun masih ada, plus another of my Versace, not to mention my Moschino, MNG and UCB.

Besides, coming back to Singapore by the end of the month for Christina's concert so takyah risau. Kalao aku naik gila, mungkin seminggu sebelom (next week) aku akan ke Singapore again for Jet's concert). Tengok gila aku datang ke tak.

Went to Atria and shopped around but couldn't find anything I liked... even in Topshop and Topman yang biasa kalao time sale gila babas punya worth it.

This time however, the prices... well, let me put it this way.

Lagik baik beli kat KLCC jer sebab ala ala lebih kurang jer.

So browsed about a bit, but ended up didn't pick up anything at all.The only good thing that came out of going there was using their free Internet kiosks nak carik The Magic Hall, the only magicians hangout in Singapore I know, which I remembered was located in Orchard Road.

So walked about a kilometre (it felt like that) sampai Le Meridien, and spent an hour in the magic shop!

Thanks to Kenneth and Solomon for your hospitality.

Merasalah beli Perfect Deck, Hummer Card dan juga The Raven! Yes, three of my favourite tricks aku da ada da. Memang aku cadang nak beli banyak lagik...but tamau aa borong semua.

Mau practise betul betul and master dulu sebelom beli lagik.

Yang pentingnya, I now have my own Bicycle Deck (magician punya standard punya set terup)
Along the way and back, singgah ler banyak tempat including Tangs and Paragon (cuma Far East je tak sempat sebab malas nak walk off the main Orchard Road).Still couldn't really find anything

I liked, so bummer!

Takpe...takpe..ujung bulan aku lebih ada masa sikit nak shopping, aku all out katanya. Lagikpon since the Great Singapore Sale, wasn't all that great, I suppose it won't really make a difference, kan?

Met up with the guys back at area Lucky sebab suddenly everyone realised that the shop I pick up my perfumes at really is the cheapest, so they decided pon nak pick up some fragrances there. Hah...Syawan...lain kali dengar cakap! Heh...kan rugi nak beli kat Mustaffa tuh. Bukan murah sangat pon.

Keji kan...very the tourist trap!

Sambil bosan nunggu, ngan kaki yang rasa nak patah dah, sempat snappy kedai yang dulu jadik favourite aku nak browse masa mula mula bukak

Kat KL pun ada...tapi not so well stocked, plus the one in MidValley da jadik cam kedai dua Ringgit da ngan memacam benda ngarut yang tak kena tema yang dijual.

The Bangkok one is still better though. Perlu ke kan nak compare...nama pon Bangkok. I did go in but no I didn't buy anything.

Gathered back at the hotel, and in a zombie like state, joined the others in making our way back home.

Ngantuk abih...after a late drink...just went back and tido mati.

Anyway...sapa nak lebih pics APM, here are a few more from the performances. Thanks for the pics kepada tukang email yang nyenangkan keja aku. Enjoy...
