Questions people never ask me 3.0

What's your favourite book?
To be honest I don't read that much. I could be all pretentious and say it's because I don't have time but I don't really enjoy reading books, it takes so long time. I'm like I'd rather wait for the movie. XD But I HAVE read some good books (when I want to feel snobbish) like "A Long Way Down" by Nick Hornby and of course the Harry Potter series.

Where do you shop?
In London, New Look, Primark, Uniqlo. In Sweden, H&M, Monki, Gina Tricot, Zara.

Are you going to watch Camp Rock 2?
Short version answer: Yes. Long version answer: As you might know I really dislike the forst movie and I was entirely against the making of the sequel. I knew it was going to be total turkey and I still know it's a turkey. As I've start to admit that my JB fandom's starting cool off I have pondered whether it's worth to watch it just for the boys, and my answer is yes (at least once). Why? Because I want to see Nick's (Nates) forbidden romancing with Chloe Bridges (whatever her name is in the movie).

What's worst with living by yourself?
I think it's the social bit, there aren't as many to talk to whenever I feel like it. Otherwise I'm managing the cooking and laundry.

What did you wanted to be when you were a kid?
An actress or before that an astronaut.

Which song did you most recently listen to?
Mr. Curiosity - Lena

Eller or Vogue?
Definitely Elle. I don't like Vogue's layouts.

Epic epicness

I can't believe I haven't seen the trailer for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World before today. I know, SHAME right. Anyway I'm glad I finally did. It looks freakin' epic.

I've literally seen every trailer there is. This is my fave.

Enjoy,
Tiffany

The toys are back in town

I finally got to see Toy Story 3 the other day (in 3D English version). Verdict? Awe.....wait for it...some! (Couldn't help myself)

As I've said I literally grew up with an overplayed Toy Story VHS on Cantonese. (I had a great childhood, you see). And 15 years after I never thought I'd still be quite so excited about a triquel.

One thinks after 2 movies there can't possibly be another sane good story living up the high expectations (unless it's book based movie, but that's another story). The plot is familiar, the toys are afraid of being replaced or abandoned (some cases both). But the screen writers amazes us once again with an wonderfully unpredictable, innovative and funny story.

Appropriately, this movie tells us about the kid, Andy, being grown up and is about to start college. The idea of being thrown in the trash was imminent and the toys decide it was better to be donated to the kindergarden nearby. It's all sugar and rainbows until they realized they had being placed in the small children's department, where toys are being brutally played with.

Gosh, I laughed and I cried, it just kicked some major ass. XD I strongly recommend.

Btw, anyone know why Totoro was there?

Ciao,

Tiffany

Rant of the rant

I read this opinion piece some guy had sent to the newspaper and it really intrigued me.The guy was ranting about Animal rights activists.

Wait what? How does it come about that you get so angry with people who dedicate their life as selflessly to protect defenseless, innocent animals, that you openly criticize them in the newspaper. Well, apparently some Animal activists are so fanatic about fighting for animal rights that it resemblances sect activities. As there are so many humans in the world who don't even have the rights that animals have, like people flooded in Pakistan, animal activists really should sort out their priorities.

In a way I can agree with the dude about that fighting for people is more important than animals. But just because there are more important things you can devote yourself to doesn't mean that you have to do that. I mean it's like why does apple engineers research new iPhone features when it's more important to research the cure for cancer?

All I'm saying is, this guy just want to rant for the sake of ranting. For all I know this guy just sits around all day and doesn't do a shit (excuse my French) for the Pakistanians or whoever. How dare someone criticise people who actually does something. I mean people rant about everything; the economy, crowdy places, Justin Bieber and whatever but I draw the line on animal activists.

Goodnight,
Tiffany

As dorky as it gets

Sometimes my nerdiness even surprises me.

First surprise: I see a mother with a 4 year old holding fabricbag with the Camp Rock2 logo, I almost hyperventilated (You must believe me when I say I actually don't like Camp Rock, so I don't know where this behaviour comes from either) I (almost) storm up to her and ask her where she got the bag. Second surprise: I actually track down the place the mother told me she'd gotten the bag. Third surprise: Although there were only 8 and 9 year olds taking pictureswith these giant paper Jonas-and-Demi cutouts I just had to take a picture too (I mean they gave you the bag and printed the picture out for you and)

And on top f that, I went to the Rix FM concert to watch all of these teenyboppy artists, and on top of THAT I even waited until Eric Saade to perform before I went away.

Wow, Tiffany this time you really outnerd yourself.

Sincerely Yours,

Tiffany

My superpower

Rant #1 of 1000s.

So, the other day I was going to drive with my dad (which is going pretty well btw), but before we did, my dad just had to the grocery store nearby. It was a Wednesday afternoon alright, so why were there so many people? I don't even...whatever. (Which movie?!) So you got the situation: only 2 cashiers are open and the lines are too long. You go and queue at the seemingly shortest line (you even did some investigation to see which one is the shortest) and it magically turns into the slowest.

Actually the lines were not that long in this case, I was just really eager on driving. I did a quick check on the both lines, ok we were not going to stand behind that lady with the trolley overloaded with catfood, dirt and god knows what. So it was the other line then. You probably don't know this but I'm the THE master of choosing the wrong queue. It's like my superpower or something.

What was wrong this time? Newbie at the cashier. I'm usually very understanding of new staff (when I'm in a good mood) but this girl was extremely.....................new. I know it's difficult in the beginning (I've been there myself) and everything's new but this girl was something exra alright. She had to ask the other guy like every other second: Oh what does this mean? I did this but it's not right. Oh I pushed the wrong button. The scanner doesn't work. Bladdiblabladdibla!

I started to wonder how on earth they could hire someone so (obviously) unqualified. There must be 1000s of unemployed teenagers in Malmö. I mean I am freaking one of them! It's really hard to get a part-time job here and you basically have to have trillion years of experience in whatever if they are even gonna consider you for the job. I'm not personally attacking this girl, for all I know she might be the best cashier today, but it's intriguing. How does employment processes really work?

Peace out,
Tiffany

Wonderfully egocentric

So you might be wondering (probably not), who is this person (..she talks loads of shit)? Sometimes I wonder the same thing. As wonderfully egocentric I am, I will try to answer that question in this entry.

My name's Tiffany. I have one of those Chinese surnames you've probably never heard before. So yes, I'm originally Chinese but live in Sweden, until last year but more of that later. I lived a shockingly normal still, on the verge of boring, life in Sweden's 3rd biggest city with my family. I went to school. I studied a lot of English because I wanted to be in a Harry Potter movie (true story). I was a person with practically no free time because I studied and when I didn't I took both acting and violin lessons.

Last summer I graduated high school/upper secondary school (or whatever you call it) and moved on to study fashion marketing and journalism (yes that's my course) in London. Although I spent about 7 months in London the previous year I still consider Sweden as my home. In September I'll start my 2nd year and it more than sometimes freaks me out. I don't think of myself as a journalist, I neither think of myself as a fashion person and that also freaks me out.

I'm a highly classified no-life person. Most of the time I don't do anything interesting. I take a lot of pictures and I think photography is interesting as hell...and stuff. I edit and post most of my photos on my tumblr blog, on which I spend more time on than I would like to admit. I also teach myself to play, mostly Jonas Brothers, songs on the guitar. I regularly follow TV series and watch insanely many movies. If I could live anywhere it would be in a cinema auditorium.

And finally. I tweet. I recently rediscovered a Taiwanese boy band. I've had my heart broken once and never loved since. I rarely text or use my cellphone for that matter. I got Facebook purely from peer pressure. I would love to direct one day and I'm really into elections.

Peace out,
Tiffany

Hello world!

I decided to make a fresh start. Turn over a new leaf. Enter a new era, yeah you get it. As I've been implying the past 2 years is that I've become a really lousy blogger and abandoned it almost entirely. For a while I actually gave up blogging, because I didn't have time but mostly because I was lazy. I became sick of it so I gave myself a slap in the face (hypothetically) and toughen(ed?) up. I'm gonna blog! (Well for a start but I'm gonna try really hard to keep it up)

I figured that one of the reasons I stopped blogging was because I never let myself be personal enough. Well, I did try it in the end and it felt kinda good. And as a journalist student I'm a fail if I can't have a functioning blog. It would be SHAME!

So here I've tried to make a new start. The layout is also new.I've changed the blog URL for something I feel more appropriate and..sensible. It didn't really want to create a whole new blog because I didn't want to lose all of my old entries (some of which I actually think are pretty clever).

Happy New Blog,
Tiffany

Gutentag

Hey,
I haven't written for ages now. The fact is I've been away for a week and a half. Me and my family (inlc. grandpa) went to Paris and Pfäffikon (in Switzerland) to visit relatives. It's always nice being jammed in a 4 room apt with 15 other people. XD No but it was actually really nice, I love meeting all my cousins again.

During the 2 days in Paris, it was mostly sightseeing, some shopping and weirdly a lot of How I Met Your Mother watching. :P Me and my siblings then took the train to Switzerland. Goood, I'd forgotten how stunningly beautiful Switzerland is. My camera worked overtime. :P For me it has also been a lot of fashion talk with my cousin and we even did a photoshoot (keep checking my tumblr!).

I've also been thinking about how lazy I've become, I mean with tumblr and twitter I hardly write anything anymore. I used to blog loads, then I used to tweet loads now I basically don't write anything, I only tumblr loads. I really want to have a blog I'm really passioned about. I have to figure something out.
