Of holidays & Scotland

Yes, I know I didn't have time to update on the last post about the Volturi pictures. Well, that's going to wait until I reach home on Monday.

Was packing for the TNS 3 day stay in school starting tomorrow. *Sighs* It's like leaving home. What a hassle! I'm the kind of person who have lots of toiletries to take along and must have this and that.

I'm taking a sling-bag of clothes and towel, a backpack for the other stuff and a laptop bag.

Went to Borders first and Kinokuiya at Orchard area with a friend. I cna't find the novel I'm looking for! I'm kind of disappointed in Borders. It let me down, again and again.

In the end, I did buy one of Lynn Kurland's novel. I'm thinking about whether I should just ask them to pre-order it for me. When I have the time in the next few weeks, I'll make a trip down again.

I didn't even have time for myself! I want to rant on it. It's the holidays, why am I having all sort of activities?! Holiday is for me to enjoy and to relax!

My idea of relaxing is to curl up with a nice novel, music wafting by, and maybe some ice-cream to go by. Add Autumn breeze and the smell of lovely country-side to that and I'll have the perfect vacation. Too bad, this is Singapore.

Can't wait to make a trip to the Scotland Highlands. All these books about the wilderness and wonderfulness of the Highlands makes me swoon. The native language too. Scotland has moved up in the place of "a must to visit" countries in my list. Europe remains the top destination to go. But maybe, just maybe, Scotland and England will be my destination to go to first. Afterall, the exchange-rate is better?

Will stop here now.

Volturi Revealed

I am speechless when I saw these pictures of the Volturi for the upcoming New Moon movie.

They are really well done, in terms of make-up, dress-code, background effects. True, I'm not that satisfied with all of them but let's wait till the movie to pass a judgement.

For now, I can say that Chris Weitz has out-done himself and will give New Moon the boost it needs. Thank you so much!

Alec (Cameron Bright)

Caius (Jamie Campbell Bower)

Aro (Michael Sheen)

Jane (Dakota Fanning)

Marcus ( Christopher Heyerdahl)

I'll post my views later. My favourite remains to be Jane, as portrayed by Dakota Fanning. Innocent yet sinister.
