Stella and I hit the cinemas last night, probably one of the last few people to see this film in the country since there's only 1 cinema left that still sells tickets for it. I have been dying to watch this flick. Sophia Coppola is so indie, she makes good viewing. The movie was opulent and a wonderful visual feast. Costumes and cinematography were breathtaking. I came out eager for a french macaroons and a pair of oxford shoes. When this movie hits the outdoor cinemas in the coming months, i'm gonna round up the girls for a sunset picnic where we will eat all things french (wigs optional of course) and i may even attempt to make some almond macaroons. I've settled back to my old routine ... squash after work, baking on weeknights, sleeping in on weekends. However since it is a whole new year after all, I've decided that some changes was in order. I've finally bitten the bullet and upgraded my longtime dial-up account to a 21st century broadband speed. This is a direct consequence of teaching my parents how to get online to use the webcam to chat with me. Then we doubled our squash court time which means this year I'm playing twice a week and if this keeps up. I may just turn pro in 5 years' time. Finally the big one, this will be the year I will start thinking about buying my own space. Even if I may not be owning anything anytime soon, I promise you I will be at least thinking about it. Growing up is so scary.
