The Devil Wears Prada. i somehow didn't understand about the "Prada" thinggie. other than having Meryl Steep carrying a Prada handbag in the first introductory scene, i hardly sees her character as a Prada fanatic. unless, the scriptwriter trying to put across that Prada is some sort of a "representative" for all the other posh and glam products that has appeared in the movie.
but seriously, after watching it, i suddenly wanted to be in New York where they wear such high-class and fashionable clothes that i couldn't say anything else other than staring in awe. even YM was fascinated with all the fuss of Chanel, CK, Prada (duh), Valentino and whatever you can think off.
i cried at some scenes. somehow i just did.
overall, 3.5 stars.
i felt the story could have been slightly longer, telling us more details than giving us the "pictures speaks louder than words" theory. and of course, censorship of certain scenes really affects the storyline, leaving it slightly shallow.

okie! i've bought HP DV2009TX from Comex via Courts. they bundled a Lexmark printer and DV tuner (i don't know what's that) into the package which cost me $2399. reasonable la. i'm giving YM the printer since there's no use of it and i can't fetch much with Lexmark printers coz' they're pretty known for their expensive cartridges. and they don't really last long as well.
i don't have the physical item with me now coz' i've took up an installment plan for 18 months, costing me about slightly less than 200 per month. it is supposed to be cheaper but i've decided to purchase the extended warranty and Accident coverage from Courts. even though i felt there isn't much a need but somehow i didn't want to buy chances especially when most parts of electronic gadgets comes from China and assemble there as well. so, might as well la.
however, it's gonna be my 1st and probably the last time i'm going to purchase such item from Comex. i'll never forget that stupid salesman from Courts who provide such poor service! he wasn't equipped with the right information about the DV tuner that came with the purchase, and made me and YM walking up and down the WHOLE bloody comex fair looking for HP booths to redeem our item. and the best part was, there were 3 different HP booths in Comex, one in each Hall, and none of their HP salespeople knew what the hell was a DV tuner, let alone a redemption for it. so blardy pissed i tell you! i felt so stupid, asking stupid questions and gotten stupid answers.
anyway, finally we managed to find the right person, apparently from HP but he's situated at Courts' booth. he told us that we need to get the physical item (i.e. the laptop) with us before we're able to redeem the DV tuner. the procedures include having the serial number on the laptop. and when we returned to the Courts Salesperson (arsehole), he didn't know it was that way. wah lau!! what kind of sales person is that?!?!? but at least he apologized for having to waste our time.
so ya, 1st purchase with such bad impression. like i've told YM, next time, i would just purchase from Courts directly. at least the sales person knows MORE and it's also near home (Tampines outlet). somehow, i don't mind just pay slightly more to buy satisfaction for service.
i'm supposed to fax my payslip... forgotten totally and that arsehole salesperson didn't call to remind. argh!
