L'ivresse du pouvoir

French film festival
Went to watch the french film 'L'ivresse du pouvoir' (A Comedy of Power) at The Cathay..with Nic's magnaminous aunt & uncle & his cousins.
It was a truly thought provoking film..not those usual in-your-face-action-packed-full-of-airbrushed-to-perfection-people sort of hollywood films. The film revolves around this powerful lady magistrate..and it actually involves the themes of the balance of power, work, family and personal life. Quite applicable to many women in today's Singaporean context.. Women who want to rise up the ranks, yet in their immense drive they are actually selfishly (albeit unknowingly) placing a strain on their personal relationships. Can we blame them? Afterall, 'until what point can human nature resist the intoxication of this power?'

After a mind stirring 110 mins, it was time for supper at Shokudo, a nice jap restaurant at the basement..Isn't jap food just so li desu yo?!

A special angel

Anyz, this is just a note to all. Do read pg8&9 of today's (wed 11th oct) Mind your Body. It's about a SMA patient Puay Hwoon. She's a real inspiration..despite her many trials and difficulties, she's got an amazing drive that puts most of us to shame. In support of her true courage i've bought quite a few necklaces from her online business (though i already have a few drawers bursting with accessories). So i'm asking you all to support her too! I'm def gonna order more jewellery/clothes from her..

Please check out her websites: http://vgfashionhouse.blogspot.com (highly recommended) and http://vgprettyhouse.blogspot.com (second hand clothes)

There are many pics so the website takes awhile to load the photos..so please be patient. if you want, i can email you the catalogue..much faster cos you can view all the products in thumbnail size pics. And there are alot more products to choose from in the email catalogue..i was totally spoilt for choice! This is what i call retail therapy..i've never felt better about making these pretty purchases!=) Thanks a million Puay Hwoon for being such an inspiration!
