In this town of Halloween

that was only a few parts of the lyric sang by a few of ghosts at the beginning of the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas. one of Tim Burton's masterpiece - for me! i honestly can't remember when was the first time i watched this movie (ok, my fault) but since that, i've been deeply in love with Jack Skellington, the main character in the movie. he ..as you might already guess ..is a skelleton who lives in a town called Hallowen Town. and Jack ..he's the Pumpkin King (what else?). the villagers in that town adores Jack ..even the Mayor! the Mayor cannot even prepare the Hallowen without Jack ..so yeah, Jack is the town's favourite.

to me ..Jack is good looking. i know, i know!! you guys must've think that i'm crazy. i can hear y'all say "he's just a skeleton and cartoon character, you silly girl!!". but i really do think that he's good looking ..i mean, duh, for a skeleton. gotta say that he's got the charm. he actually has made me fall under his charm. oh yeah ..i'm that lame :). amazon at that time was not a very good friend of mine ..yet. so, i really don't know where to get the original DVD for this movie. trust me ..it's not easy to find things like that here.

a few years back ..i finally found the DVD, yay!! buuttt, gotta tell you that it's pirated. like i said ..it's not easy to find those things here in Jakarta. in early 2007, gotta chance to go to Disneyland in HK. oooh, to those of you who has been there knows very well that it is literally a HEAVEN in earth ..for Disney's merchandises. unfortunatelly, it was not a good time for me to go there ..why? because there's not much Nightmare merchandises. cannot even find a t-shirt :(. but yeah, i had fun there ..bought all the small merchandises for souveniers. anyway, i managed to buy a pair of Nightmare sandal at Sogo in Causewaybay. it has become my favourite sandal in the office.

but then last Oct, Jeanette went to Disney in HK and she bought me Jack t-shirt. and you know what's even better? it glows in the dark ..hahahaha! oooh, i love it. thanks, Net. and just recently, i bought a Nightmare monitor cleaner along with the keyboard cleaner and a beauty case (it's literally Jack's face!). the good news is ..the original DVD is in town!! woohoo!

so i bought it and played it like over 5 times. FYI - that was actually my niece (the youngest one) who wants to watch the movie over and over again. she was a bit scared at first ..but then she enjoyed the song ..she even dance along with it ..cute, eh? and today, i bought Nightmare HP strap and stickers. i actually thinking on buying the HP pouch which looks almost like this ..

but it has Sally's big face on it ..so i decided not to. i don't like Sally ..really! i just don't like her ..don't asked me why. oh ..i almost forgot to tell you this. there are two stores at the South Sky Walk in PIM 2 which sells cute merchandises. you name it ..from Hello Kitty, My Melody, all Disney's characters, etc etc. so i went to that store with Jeanette. she went crazy over My Melody, btw. she has literally spent quite amount of money for buying those My Melody merchandises. you know what i hate the most? man ..the price of those merchandises are not cheap at all. i saw Nightmare cigarette pack and it costs like 145, 000. but i don't remember asking for the price of that HP pouch i want. i lost my interest once i saw Sally on it ..so i didn't bother to ask.

anyway, i actually found quite a lot of Nightmare merchandises there. but like i said, the price if unbelievable. for instance, i fall in love in one of Nightmare wall clock ..it's soo cute and it glows in the dark as well. and do you know how much it cost? it's over 400,000 rups just for a wall clock! can you believe it? i'm sure that if i buy these at Disney HK, it'll cost me a lot cheaper than this. guarantee. oh well ..i'm planning to collect it one by one or else i would have to literally crawl to the office :). so wish me luck ...
