Achy

Creak! Crack? Croak.

That's probably what you'll hear when I walk pass you. Yes, I'm back from Perth and now practically doing my dirty laundry and trying to keep myself away from all the yummy food that awaits me at the nearby hawker centre. You don't know how desperate I am from all the sandwiches, and fried battered food I had in OZ that made me crave for local delights in Singapore! Like what I always tell Aveline and Samantha, I can eat a cow!

Cheers mate!

Anyway, as I know you guys are still patiently waiting my update of OZ, I have to apologize. As much as I want to update about OZ, I've got a gazillion photos yet to be recieved and much editing to be done so those might take time. I would most likely blog about OZ next week? :) Your wait is truly appreciated.


Meanwhile waiting, why not catch an awesome movie I've caught with Samantha called Mozart and the Whale, this awesome film starring Josh Hartnett and Radha Mitchell? A soul lifting, sweet and cute (of course, with Josh Hartnett in it), dramatic, romantic comedy inspired by the lives of two people with Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism, whose emotional dysfunctions threaten to sabotage their budding romance. By the way, we both love the entire film, so if you're wondering if it's worth watching, go figure.

Whee, now that I'm done with what I wanna say, I'm off to my beauty sleep. :)

Nuffnang Event: Singapore Movie Fiesta Is Gon' Be A Wowser!

Prior to what Cherie blogged in Nuffnang, I realized my sister and I were at Vivocity the same time as she was. But how come she gets to take great pictures but I don't!? Maybe it's just unlucky for me that I missed out the good part of one of Nuffnang's anticipated event of the month!

Anyway, here's what you're going to miss (If you're giving this event a miss):

Face Art (as seen on movies) done by Make-up Professionals

Hot babes and hunks in their tight superheroes suits lurking around

Shaolin Girl! Too bad I didn't win the tickets. v_v

Food Food Food!
Terra Cafe - 2.5/5 stars

My sister loved it

My Main Course

Makes No Sense: My sister mistook steamed rice for fried rice?

But she liked it anyway...

Literally, ICE cream, full of cream, and ICE

Basically my sister and I spent out night at the pet store picking up yet another hamster. Where's the other? NO, it's no longer around. YES, my roborovski passed away barely 3weeks of purchase due to a weak immune system. T_T

Oh and shopping at Daiso is awesome. Do check out that branch if you wanna do cheap shopping!

So, if you're so bored and you've got nothing to do, fly down to Vivocity, or else you'll miss all the fun! :) Remember it's tomorrow, bring your family, relatives along and enjoy the lovely super duper afternoon with them.

Watching Rated Movies With A Guy

am i the only one who feels the same? that, watching rated movies is such an awkward thing to do with my father or a guy? or at least i think so.

being brought up by a dad isn't easy for him, therefore as a daughter i'll try to cheer him up, teaching him how to use the computer, letting him into our world, if you know where i'm coming from. we have this similar thing for entertainment; DVDs and more, well DVDs so i'd rent DVDs at the weekends to make up time for each other and catching up to be done.

the usual, he'll smoke his tobacco while i'll do the preparation: get the snacks ready. load the DVD into my player and change whatever settings needed to be done and viola! "PA! THE MOVIE HAS STARTED!" he took his last puff, grabbed a glass of wine with him and settle on the sofa. and so, the movie started.

my dad loves action packed movies. those kungfu, superheroes, C.S.I flicks therefore i'd have to choose wisely; a movie that i'll watch and he'd appreciate. that night, i chose Miami Vice and i thought it looked great and the storyline is something worth watching, which it did..except for the super intimate scenes (a.k.a hot shower scene) that i wasn't expecting!!!


speaking of which, i recalled on watching a flick with intimate scenes (remember RoadtripEurotrip?!) with Mr. Tan and it wasn't so awkward as we had company: Miss Sam and Miss Ave. and we'll joke about the fake boobs and other random stuff along the line.


however, watching it with your daddy doesn't seems the case! when that scene came up, my inner thoughts were like, holy crap, what the fuck have i done! this is GREAT! awkward.... and i'd start to blabber things like OMG 123456789 times, or i'll try calling my sister whose eyes are glued to the PC which i clearly know isn't doing much help so i had to bear with all the awkwardness and not face my dad but the screen.

another incident was when we were watching Jarhead, remember there's this particular scene that guy received a video from his wife having sex with another fella? like, they showed the entire scene of them screwing around?! ...you get it.

guess it's time for me to get over this whole awkward feel! question is: HOW?

tell me, how can i ever get away with this? how can i overcome this situation? you tell me.

Endings

the film Prince of Caspian ended with a subtle, emotion-filled song by Regina Spektor's The Call.

download The Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian OST here

(It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry

I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before

All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and now one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

whether good or bad, life has its own different ending. i want mine to be happy, with unforgettable smiles, with terabytes of happy memories. don't bid me goodbye because it's just a new beginning.

The Mission with Nuffnang: Fight To Save Narnia!

all thanks to Nuffnang, i won myself a pair of tickets to catch the exclusive screening of Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian at Bugis Junction.


i saw plenty familiar faces of fellow Nuffnangers and i'm just overwhlemed by the number of attendees for the exclusive screening! i also spotted famous blogger Wendy Cheng a.k.a xiaxue accompanied by her partner amongst the crowd.


the theatre was fully seated with people of all sorts; ah bengs and lians, the emo kids, the lomo clique, the adults, kids, teens and not to mention elderly people too. the movie started off a little late, but it was worth the wait because the best has yet to come!

the lovely inititate Nuffnang have came up with,
a i love Nuffnang badge!

this entry is dedicated to these friendly Nuffnang team in white!
Ming and the Nuffnang team! you guys are awesome!
(btw, thanks Cherie!)

so after waiting for almost forever, the movie started with the Queen giving birth. she looked as if she had an orgasm...a painful one. a son was born, Lord Miraz's desire for the throne gets deeper, and instructed assassination of his nephew, Prince Caspian, the only heir to the throne. Caspian was informed and he ran his life into the woods of Narnia. desperate for help, Caspian has blown Queen Susan’s horn.

the scene then changed to Susan (i laugh at her sausage lips all the time. i'm evil!) caught in an awkward situation with a schoolmate who fancies her, whom suddenly got cut by Lucy, who led Susan to the subway station where the attention shifted brother Peter who got into a trivial fight while Edward tried to stop it.

whilst waiting for the train, the Pevensie children started a small conversation about Narnia, out of the blue, strong wind gushed and tiles began peeling...*pauses*

wait why am i telling you this? go catch the movie yourself!

here are some spoilers:

no longer the innocent young chldren we know,
the kids grew..a little. (1300 years old in Narnia)

happy ,good looking, undergoing puberty
(just look at Susan..and her sausage lips!!!)

new characters in the movie

superb graphics like this

and this...

this too!

Aslan, the great!

you have cutesy characters like Reepicheep

fierce centaurs and minotaurs, i like!

there will be blood!

not to mention the fantastic wardrobe!

you know how one movie director cleverly decided to put an abrupt end to a movie you anticipated for ages and gave you a hint that there will be a part 2? then turns out that part 2 isn't worth your time and money? to hell with that! because Narnia started out just as expected from it's first chronicle of Narnia, The Witch, The Lion and The Wardrobe. i was so surprised by it's sequel, Prince of Caspian because it was 123456789 times better than the former!

trust me, all these pictures and whatever reviews you have read don't do much justice. buy a movie stub and go catch the damn movie, like, right now!!!

The Mission: Fight To Save Narnia

The sequel of the movie that i have been waiting ever since it's debut, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe has finally returned!

You know the Heroes' way of saying "Save the cheerleader, Save the world" is very similar to the saying of the much anticipated movie, Narnia's Prince Caspian - "Save the Prince, Save Narnia"


Watching the trailer itself does not bring enough justice, that's only 1% of the entire show! One can never get enough of The Chronicles of Narnia for it's adventurous, exciting, magical journey to save the world by fighting off evil. Not to mention the breathtaking sceneries and the awesome graphics.

I want to watch this movie badly with my sister, as we both caught the first chapter in The Chronicles of Narnia together two years ago. As movie junkies, we both clearly know there will be another coming soon to feed our hunger for another fantasying, wonderful and exciting journey with Aslan, the lion, the Pevensie children and of course, the new character of the story, Prince Caspian.

It's not just a movie for the kids, tag your friends, your families...everyone should watch it!

My Sassy Girl [American Remake]

Hollywood has been remaking international movies that are hits in the movie box office. movies like Shutter, The Eye, The Grudge, Dark Waters...i don't mean to be offensive but why take the risk and waste the money in remaking something that many had caught and try remaking another when that movie is already originally a hit in the box office? period.

so anyways, Hollywood decided to make yet another remake of Korea's hit, My Sassy Girl. should i feel pissed or not? judging by the trailer, i guess it's not that bad, really. but obviously, nothing beats the original! check out the trailer!



Jesse Bradford lookin' good!
and this is the original. who does it better? the new or the old?


Cha Tae Hyun lookin' as good!
if there's a chance that Hollywood is choosing yet another Korean movie to remake, i would really want to see The Classic being remade. i think it's gonna be interesting. The Classic is not usual boy meets girl story. it's more than what you think it is. anyway, if you have not caught The Classic, i urge you to go catch it! like, right now!

The Classic trailer. you'll love it!

The Future Of Harry Potter Revealed!

the announcement J.K Rowling made about Albus Dumbledore having a sexual orientation of a gay left many confused, startled and outraged but i guess it doesn't matter anymore.

by the way, the secret door in author J.K Rowling’s official site, better known as the Room of Requirement has opened again!

this time there's no tricks whatsoever. just click on the doorknob to swing open the door.

on her desk laid a piece of paper with the Dark Mark sign on it... [Spoiler's Ahead!]

click on the paper, and it will show up.

the Weasley family tree is clearly illustrated and written on the piece of paper.

should you even feel surprised? heh.

Keep A Child Alive

just when we thought that AIDS will never reach us, just when we thought we will breeze through life by performing safe sex, just when we thought AIDS is no big deal in our community...

i caught this film documentary Alicia in Africa, and i thought it would be nice to let people know.

Alicia Keys and Keep a Child Alive, an urgent response to the AIDS pandemic, have produced a brand new documentary featuring Alicia's journey through several HIV affected communities.. even though it's just a 45-minute documentary, i applaud Alicia Keys for being the ambassador for KeepAChildAlive.Org without any hesitation. with soft caring eyes, she embraced children in her arms and tried her best to help with what she could and making the film a success.

i believed the reason why she filmed this documentary isn't any for the media's attention but hoping for media to fix attention on those innocent children so that more help can be reached.

i cried and felt ashamed because the kids are young, however they are strong willed and very optimistic about their future. despite the poverty and the pandemic, they dream and aspire to be responsible adults and inspiring figures of their own future. whereas there are people like me, sitting and down and thinking how cursed her life is blah blah. i knew i learned something valuable today.

let's not give in to complacency. let's not doubt the power of AIDS. if you have the ability, please give helping hands to those who need it more than we do. help the children, give them a deserving life like how we think ours is. if you don't have the ability, it'll be kind if words are spread.

ps: the best thing about this film is that you can catch it free! just head to this link, and watch the entire movie! :)

Me...Myself

when there's no subtitles or translations to a foreign film, and you're watching it raw, it might look stupid, that's what many people think.

on the contrary, i think its one of the most beautiful thing ever.

one reason why i like watching foreign films is because it's just me alone and the moving film with a language i yet to have a clue. pictures tell a thousand words so even if there's no subtitles or translations, the story will still be told.

like a woman crying. when a man filled with anger. children running everywhere with joy spelled across their faces. picture them in your mind and you'll see it coming.

maybe i'll miss some important speech details, but it's okay because with emotions and places and people and events and things happening all in a 1- 3 hr film; why not let the visuals, music and body languages do the talking?

a very good example would be this


though i caught the movie with subtitles but after catching it i realised i'm able to comprehend it without reading the subtitles.

anyway that was really random. v_v

my ultimate purpose of this entry is to introduce you guys this movie called Me...Myself starring Ananda Everingham (Leap Years & Shutter) and Chayanan Manomaisantiphap. 2 people who are total strangers, both belonging in different worlds falling in love? love; unpredictable shit.

The Bucket List

just caught The Bucket List. i shed a tear, laughed quite a bit. well i'm not going to say much. but i'll give you 5 good reasons why you should go catch it.

1. Academy Awards Winning actors Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson both starred in the movie (and John Mayer sings the theme song for the movie!)
   
2. because life's too short to miss a well crafted movie/ storyline
3. you won't wanna miss the beautiful sceneries featured in the movie
4. refreshingly funny...cutesy!
   
5. learn the epiphany in life and death

if the above 5 reasons did not do much justice, i extracted this from a review in IMDb

"One of the most fun and uplifting films of the year, Rob Reiner's The Bucket List is also a likely contender for Academy Award nominations. Wonderfully sarcastic dialogue, poignant exchanges between excellently crafted characters, and an overall beautiful tale of mortality and morality, The Bucket List is an excellent opportunity for two of the greatest actors of our time to show off their inimitable techniques. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman have a chemistry that will have you laughing until you cry and crying at the sight of something truly majestic."

-Mike Massie

worth every cent of yours : 4.5/5 stars
