I jumped at the opportunity when OMY Blog offered me to watch the preview of Footloose.
Actually, it was a no brainer and no pre-planning as to who I will be watching it with.

Of course by default, my date will be the husband but he had spent the evening with his private students, preparing for their 'O' Levels Mathematics paper.
My dearest mom was more than happy to come and view it with me.
She is a movier go-er.



I tell you why watching Footloose was a no brainer.
A movie in the 80s, the original soundtrack is still evergreen. Not to mention that Kevin Bacon's dance moves were hot!
The song is super catchy right from the very first beat.

When it comes to the Footloose, I wish I was staying in the States and being in their era. Or maybe THAT era.
Fashion era in the 80s and 90s are maybe the wierdest that you have ever seen.

But I can relate to the lyrics. It is all about giving yourself a break from your daily lifestyle and just breathing it out.

The movie showing this year is no different. I was tapping my feet to the opening of the movie for the first 5 minutes till a tragedy struck.
I learnt a new word though through the movie.
"Boner Killer"
In Malay, we would have said it as potong steam. So I will not be the boner killer and tell you what happens during the movie.

But do expect better fashion sense.
I love those boots, mini skirts and hot pants in the movie and yes the toned bodies.
Better hairstyles too!
*lol*

Watch the 80s music video of Footloose and tell me it does get you grooving!



I will still tap my feet under the desk listening to the song. In fact, at home in my own room I shamelessly tapped my feet during part of the song with this huge tummy of mine, in front of the husband.
He will just be shaking his head.

And if you didn't know, my Little Rania was dancing during the whole movie especially during the dance parts.
Mom turned to me and asked,"Anak kau tengah joget?"
(Your daughter's dancing?)

I laughed.
I am glad she enjoys Mummy's music taste.

Oh yes, the new cast duplicated the Footloose dance PERFECTLY!
I left the theatre smiling and lightened up.
Go loosen up and get tickets to the show! You may just be dancing away in your seat!

Fireworks @ Marina Bay

I was studying at my usual hangout and suddenly something fired.
Everyone rushed to see.
I was on my earphones, scrambled for my camera and watched (thru my camera).

Lovely fireworks!
I have yet to master this compact so excuse the blurriness of the pics.

Just to share what most may have missed out.

And there, my adorable lil' sister
:)

After watching the whole 5 minutes of fireworks, I walked up to my sister and asked, "What the heck was that for?"
"Chinese New Year la!"
Macam no-brainer gitukan!

*lol*

p.s: It is a chilly night again and I'm listening to Bruno Mars, Talking to the Moon.
I just feel like putting my books aside and cuddling up in my comforter.

Run

I fell in love with this song when I heard 'Cats in the Cradle' sang it live.

A band which is playing in a bar outside Wisma Atria.

Well, that is how much description I can give you because I have never had the experience of sitting in there.
I will - someday.

They have a great voice, whether synthesized or not, they do put up a great performance.

Relaxed. Calm. Soothing.

I would love to sit there and have a drink just listening to them sing.

I was frantically searching for it despite having no clue who is the singer and even the title of the song.

Until I stumbled upon the video at Cineleisure last night.

I was so happy.

Yes, it just take the tiny little things to make me happy.

I am a simple person with a complicated mind that's all.

So there you go, Snow Patrol, Run in repeat mode.

I am suspecting this will go on for a week.

Have a great midweek everyone.

I am falling ill, thanks to the ongoing construction at Marina Bay Sands.

Now I am having very terrible Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT)

Threw out chunks of thick yellow mucus and today with blood.

To the ladies who signed up for the Style Your Hijab workshop, I will be there and will deliver as promise.

I will go get my antibiotics today.

With much love,

Mima
