Star Trek: Into Darkness

I was excited seeing the first trailer came up on the screen when this movie was first announced. As I unexpectedly enjoyed watching the first one. Went to the cinema last night with a bunch of people, and from the start to the very end of it, J.J Abrams delivers the best adrenalin rush throughout his masterpiece! I mean if people go for the overrated Iron Man 3 for movie of the month - I'll go with this one. Even I am a lil bit biased since I grew up with Star Trek but seriously, Captain Kirk and Spock never disappoints!

Rated: 7.5/10

Spartacus Ends

From a brilliant start to gracious ending, that is Spartacus. This show receives love/hate mix reviews, but I quite enjoy it actually. The first season was a total home-run with Lucy Lawless, Andy Whitfield and the beautiful Viva Bianca starring it in. The story about gladiators who are making their way to freedom by fighting each other, if you like roman-esque history and shit, this one for ya. After that, season 2 was a meltdown, Andy Whitfield wasn't able to continue but then the last season seals it with the fall of mighty Spartacus - which in my opinion, the sudden surprise yet awesome, considering happy ending is a must in film industry - don't start with Django (yes I absolutely hate the ending!) - please Tarantino! ok, what do I know about directing again? LOL. Anyways, this Spartacus is a yes yes to cuddle with.

Marilyn Manson for Saint Laurent Paris

If there was one man who would shock the world of fashion, it's gotta be Hedi Slimane. His reign at Dior Homme was fcking delicious and now at Saint Laurent Paris? People are lusting over his creations. Those punk-rock inspired clothing are beating at the highest level of show. This time he brought Marilyn Manson, the god of metal, to model for SLP's ad campaign, how cool is that? only Slimane does it. There are a series to the extend of the ad campaign, with Courtney Love and Lindsay Lohan among the famous list.

Mirrors - Justin Timberlake

If there was only one man crush I would fall for, this one is the man. Literally.. His Future/Love concert back in the day was my very first concert experience. Now, he's back with that smooth jiggle. I wasn't really impressed with Suit & Tie but this one brings the trophy home! Forget My Love, What Goes Around Comes Around, Sexy Back, this time is Mirrors! look at the video he released today... Puurrrfection!

Luxurism On High

When you have too much money on your pocket, high end pieces are one click away from your laptop. I remember when I saw a Givenchy Rottweiler t-shirts and jackets were hype all over the internet, people still didn't know what was it back then, then come commercialism of Tisci from Kanye West, Rihanna and all the American rappers spotted wearing those Givenchy pieces, the rest are history. The second batch were Shark, sold for around $250, the frenzy had begun. All people on the streets are rocking these treasures to show that they are keeping with trend. And how much is it now? too much probably... one tees is selling as high as $700 fucking dollar and yet, people are still buying!

Unbelievable world, but it's nice to see people afford them like peanuts, means world is getting better financially right?oh well, be the judge!

Ananda Bar & Restaurant

Alrighty, here we go again.... Been a long time since I posted an entry last time. Well, it was a loooooonnng holiday and I finally am back in Australia. First thing to do? Let's have some fun trying a new restaurant I never visited before. It was Ananda Bar & Restaurant, the theme is Spanish cuisine - sort of fusion if I may call. We ordered some tapas - Rabbit empanadilla, House Morcilla, and some more I can't remember the name of. For the main, we ordered Slow roasted beef cheeks, pork belly, organic lamb cooked in milk. The ambiance was nice, the seating was good, the staff was friendly, the food? I'd give 5 out of 10 and won't come back again, thank you. Why? the rabbit empanadilla was so-so, house morcilla was good but not good enough, the slow roasted cheeks was kind of bluff of Indian food, and pork belly was a standard dead-on, the lamb? Indonesian food wanna-be. End of story and sorry for the bash - the truth is painful sometimes.

There's Always A Goodbye

A goodbye. I've been in many goodbye moments all my life, from going away from friends, farewell, departures, losing jobs, or even breakups. This time hit me the hardest, that's right, my gal went back for good today, on beautiful Sunday. I can't help but swallow all the reality, well I know this is not a final goodbye, we are still together and will meet again but my time in Kangaroo land becomes harder, even phone call and chat options are there but physical support will be missed. She is pursuing her career back home and I am still here, long distance nightmare haunts us once more, we did it for 3 years back then, and you think it's gonna be easy for us? Hmm, tough one but I am sure we can overcome it. Overseeing my coming weekends is the worst part, no more dining out at fancy restaurant, no more cuddling in cinema, no more hardcore shopping, this and that, thanks to the internet for online shopping experience and to bit torrent  to fill my days (hopefully), at least they are helping me go through this at my loneliest times. :)

Goodbye, love. Don't worry this is just a temporary barrier. See you soon and all the best!
