for the first day of xmas my sweetie gave to me - a packet of bak kwa
ah my precioussss...
tho i don like blue very much this is a lovely template innit.
i'm in a blogging inertia lately. or rather, i'm in an inertia for most things since i sleep about 16 hours evryday and spend onli the wee hours awake.
there is much to look forward to tho. bangkok next sat. xmas celebrations. the new year. 21st birthday. mango sale. eloping with my dashing french lover (i wish).
speakin of bkk, it's my first time going on a trip with my aunties tho i've known them for 7 years already. i'm glad i'm going with them. in fact, i can't imagine myself travelling with anybody else but them. y'know with close friends there's no stress at all and i can basically be the silly goose or tantrum princess (kiddin) i want. plus we can talk all day in chinese and nobody will give me the queer look like i've just stepped off a junk boat from hainan island.
best of all, my sister is going yayy. and she downloaded Alice in Chains songs i wonder why.
anyway, the poster for charlie and the chocolate factory movie by my most favorite director Tim Burton is out! as u can see above. spectacular. fantastico. smashing.
Tim Burton is brilliant. he's the only director who makes whimsical, fairytale-like movies with a macabre twist in our time. actually, all fairytales have some sort of a twisted nature. take hansel and gretel for example. a witch who fattens children and eats them roasted? hannibal lector style? eeww. or sleeping beauty. the prince who had to kiss a princess who's been sleepin for the last 100 years and probably has the stinkiest breath ever or fungi growing on her puckers.
roald dahl books are rather grim too. Witches, for example, scared my panty hoses off. and they're brilliant anyway. try his books for older children and be chilled to yer bones.
since i love sinister, weird shit like that, my fave fairytale would have to be rumpelstiltskin. if you don't knoe that one, or any other traditional fairytales that everyone should know (and I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT HARRY POTTER), please do yourself a favour and pick up grimms or andersen fairytale story books by penguin for a meagre price and join the club.
and cos i love my readers so much, all you ten billion forty-five hundred thousand three hundred and ninety-six punks out there, i'll be more than happy to share with you a snippet of Tim Burton's wonderful world of the sick sad and tragic characters.
go to this webbie :
by the way, good ol Tim drew the illustrations too. yummy.
and of course, the father of all macabre tales would be Edward Gorey. go to the webbie below and sample one of his books, The Gashlycrumb Tinnies. if you like it, why don't you get one of his fine books and buy me a copy for xmas eh. c'mon, be nice.
okay run along now. i'm gonna watch Sleepy Hollow for the ninth time.
