A weekend...

Great Singapore Sale Started. So.. Art Festival as well. So, all Singaporeans are out on the street. Including me. MSN-ing with Sher, was talking about my Perth trip, she commented that my complexion was liked "BAKED CLAY" Good one!!! Set my alarm ringing, that for sure!! Time to search for more precious fluidss, haha. Anyway, I know she is kinda of pissed with me. "Wei, lets do a short weekend trip during school holiday ok? "

Mission Weekend. But just one purchase :) I will try to do better throughout the week. Heehee.

Was out for the whole of Sun too. Sat like a dummy in a saloon for 3 hours. Kaoz. I cant believe anyone could possibly enjoy this kind of session. *Faint*. Nicole suggested that I should try to keep my hair longer. Ok, giving it a try now. Then, heading to mart to buy Cami's Fav Batang Steak. I just don't like seeing the disappointment on her face when she sniffs Threadfins. Got Mee Goreng instant noodles too ("<). Then.. Taxidermia @ Picturehouse.

Dark Comedy in Hungarian. Taxidermia contains three generational stories, about a grandfather, a father, and a son, linked together by recurring motifs. The dim grandfather, an orderly during World War Two, lives in his bizarre fantasies; he desires love. The huge father seeks success as a top athlete -- a speedeater -- in the postwar pro-Soviet era. The grandson, a meek, small-boned taxidermist, yearns for something greater: immortality. He wants to create the most perfect work of art of all time by stuffing his own torso. Lajos(grandson) (Mark Bischoff) has become a quiet taxidermist who has no prospects in love; he is rejected by the supermarket cashier, for one. He is as frustrated in his way as his grandfather was in his, but Lajos’s fertile imagination will prove to work in a very different way. His father, Kálmán, has reached enormous proportions and can no longer move. Kálmán’s wife has long ago left him, so Lajos brings food and cleans the apartment where Kálmán (now Gábor Máté, in a fatsuit) sits amidst boxes of food and the three cats he pushes to overeat. One day Lajos finds Kálmán dead, possibly having exploded from overeating or having been mauled by one of the cats. He stuffs him, and immediately after, begins stuffing himself by locking his body onto a board surrounded by perfectly attuned machines. At the end of the procedure, a glass blade he has set up decapitates him and an electric saw severs his right arm. The two men are found by a customer, Dr. Regõczy (Géza Hegedžs D.), who puts them on display at a chic art exhibition. Dr. Regõczy, whose lecture is a continuation of the voiceover at the very beginning of the film, maintains that one can mount one’s father and oneself but can not mount the essence, that being what Lajos felt at the moment the blade cut off his head. The camera moves into the black void beyond Lajos’s bellybutton.

Actually, I think Taxidermia deserves attention. Ciao and great weekend ahead everyone. My coming week is tough. Loads need to be done at work. I need encouragement. Don't be stingy :) Also, I will need to plan out my business travels, all the way to Sept. Then, I got to work out the possibility of South Africa trip. Seems like Sept wasn't possible. Is end Jul-beg Aug ok? Arrrg!!! I need more time.. 26/8, I wasn't too greedy isnt?
