Chocolate Truffles, Champagne & Catfights in Bride Wars

I recently won 2 in-season passes from Time Out KL to watch Bride Wars in the cinemas, which was great coz I've been wanting to see it after catching the preview. The movie is your average chick flick (after all, I am a girl) - 2 best friends have been planning their dream weddings at the Plaza since they were kids. Which come true after they both get engaged to their bfs.

However, the assistant to the wedding planner makes an error while booking their weddings at the Plaza and the brides-to-be end up with 2 weddings on the same day, at the same time.

There is only one way: One bride must switch their wedding venue in order for them to be maid of honor for each other. But naturally, like most brides out there, no one backs down. Hey, if it were me I would not stop at anything to have my dream wedding.

Expect hair dye sabotage, tanning salon mishap, upstaging a bacholarette party and crashing a wedding. Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway acted well on screen - the catfights were good but towards the end of the movie, it got a bit emo when the two patched things up. Also, I did think Kate looked very much older than Anne and that maybe Kate's hairstyle in the movie was aimed at making her look younger?

Hong Kong: Repulse Bay

Repulse Bay is known to be one of the most beautiful beaches in Hong Kong with its clean (and I mean, really clean) white sand. Even in the temperature of 17 degrees, there were some people soaking in the water (mostly whites).

Adjacent to the beach is a Chinese pavilion with two 10-metre-tall statues of traditional Chinese deities Kwun Yum and Tin Hau.

Not sure which was which... :P

Can't remember what was this again...

These ladies were throwing coins into the fish's mouth for good luck or something along that line - or at least attempting to!

God of Wealth - Run your hand from the head of the statue and along the arms to the pocket hanging on the left and then put your hand into your pocket, as if you're putting in money. Naturally, this ritual is supposed to bring you more wealth. :)

Buddha of Wealth & Prosperity - If you're hoping to get pregnant for the first time or have more children, run your hand along the right side of the statue, for baby girls and the left side for baby boys (obviously, I didn't try this :P).
