Twilight

i watched Twilight the other day. It wasn't as amazing as i thought it would be. well, you can't complain much if the movie's main theme is revolving around a pair of lover. all they do is stare at each other, stutter, looking all confused, and saying words of love to each other.

but i have to praise the action scenes though, it was all really good. especially the baseball part and the last fight scene. whoah. that was cool -lah.

and then there was the finger-licking hot as ever Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen. but he always had on a serious, tensed, dead-pan look on his face!!! that was quite hard to watch, but he was really cool. and when he smiles or laughs, man, it's just OMG, he's super charming!!! and i love his hair, all long and ruffled and in a mess. man, he's like the hottest vampire. lol.

sad to say, this is not one of the best movie i've watched this year.

It was a Tuesday.

I text messaged Shan Miao,

"i'm in the hospital because of my rotten nail..."

"huh? what? why like that? you always...",

she replied.

i messaged her again,

"i'm seeing a doctor in a hospital because of my nail -lah..."

then the Next day,

*krinnngggg kriingggg* my handphone rang,

it was Shan Miao,

"hehlo! Are you still in the hospital?" she asked.

"har?? i did not stay in the hospital. i just went there to see a doctor..."

"cheh, i thought you needed to stay there..." she said.

=.="

i would really like to update about my cruise trip. but. dad's working from home. i can't use the computer, specifically the internet!!! bleargh!!!

Enchanted

Enchanted, a cross-over between Disney's 2D animation cartoon world and the real world -- New York City specifically. I've watched this movie twice, the 1st time i missed the first half-hour, therefore, i had to watch the second time right? right? what can i say? i absolutely LOVE this movie.

Yeah, im a sucker for this genre of movie with musicals with happy endings, or even sad endings, i dig it all. but with Disney, i guess a sad ending is not very likely, "happy ever afters"... lol. I was very delighted by the beginning (Julie Andrews as the narrator!! love it), the 2D animation is just so awesome, it reminds me of Powerpuff Girls?? ehhh. i mean Snow White, The Little Mermaid, Bambi, Aladdin, Cinderella, Beauty and The Beast, you name it. Jumbo!!! right? izit? =.=" the animals in Enchanted were so cute and adorable!!!

Watching Enchanted makes me so happy!! "glees happily" HAHA! i can't stop smiling. Firstly, i noticed there was Bambi, there was Thumper, there was the blue birds from Cinderella, it all seemed so familiar, and that turtle too! the human characters all looked really nice and all. and that evil stepmother looks like that evil queen too from Sleeping Beauty. lol.

and then, there were the songs, man, i totally love the songs. "True Love's Kiss"?? a homage to Snow White maybe? "Happy Working Song"?? something like from Cinderella and Snow White as well (the seven dwarfs) and "That's How You Know" was really brilliant. Amy Adams 's voice is fantastic. lol. and then later on there were more contemporary songs, So Close by Jon Mclaughlin and Ever Ever After by Carrie Underwood.

I'm thinking you guys already know the story already, im still the slow one, having just watched it recently only, so outdated i know. haha! the beautiful maiden meets the prince, and was about to have their happily ever after, but was thrown into the real world by the evil stepmother. there, she met the lawyer, and stuff happens, they fell in love, the lawyer was her one true love, and everybody got their happy ending. hahaha.

Amy Adams as Giselle

damn, she was so spectacular in Enchanted. she's just perfect portraying Giselle, just flawless, with her long red hair, and pale fair skin, she's so beautiful, it's just so awesome. It's like she really really came out from a storybook, a fairytale, that she even moves like, like an animated character, so expressive. Every little emotions and actions were expressed beautifully, im so impressed. i love the way how she uses her hands, so princess-like. hehe. The pureness, innocence, sweet, kind, thinking that there was a happily ever after flowed out so damn naturally in her. and not to forget, she has an amazing voice too, so happy listening to her sing. she's just so expressive that you can see the twinkle in her eyes, and her smile, man, so beautiful and sincere. lol. you could just feel for her cheerfulness her joyful character. and then there was the transformation, from the fairytale, classic wedding dress to the contrasting modern ball gown, she looks so beautiful in all the outfits. such an amazing actress. and btw, IMO, Giselle is not an easy character to play, and Amy Adams is totally made to play her, i couldn't think of any other actresses that could actually carry out that cheerful and optimistic disposition without being ridiculous. looking forward to her future projects.

Patrick Dempsey as Robert

His character is a lawyer with a 6 year old daughter, Morgan. What can i say, Patrick Dempsey is hot ya know. *drools* hehe. He doesn't believe in happy endings and fairytales. After meeting Giselle, his whole life changes kinda. I think he did a pretty good job in portraying a kinda pessimistic, grounded lawyer, or what is it, reality kind of guy, what to do, he handles divorce cases. lol. and although he seems firm on the outside, deep inside, he's soft and kind, helping out Giselle and all even if he seems reluctant. I thought he and Amy Adams had a really great chemistry. His character is calm, serious, yet soothing, whereas Giselle's really expressive, animated and joyful. The part i loved was when he danced with Giselle, where all the emotions flowed out, he slowly realising that he was in love with her, and then he was singing to her, where there was a part he was saying he doesn't sing and dance, this moment was just so romantic, So Close is such a beautiful song! and Giselle's expression with the confusion and feeling sweet at the same time, damn, that was good. they were so sweet and charming in that dance.

James Marsden as Prince Edward
Hey, i liked him as Corny Collins from Hairspray and he was the one that played Lois Lane's fiancee in Superman Returns. lol. He's a really good actor. The way he portrayed Prince Edward's naive, yet innocently narcissistic is just so comical. There were times where he was just kinda dumb, not understanding what the chipmunk, Pip was saying, and then there were times when he was serious, realising that Robert was Giselle's one true love. lol. There was this part where he finally found Giselle and he started singing, and Giselle wasn't, and he was like confused, and she asked, "what's wrong?" "you're not singing..." lol.

Pip the Chipmunk
the chipmunk was brilliantly animated!!! he's just sooo adorable, especially in that canteen scene with Edward, imitating Giselle. even though he couldn't speak in the real world, he was still trying his best to convey his message to the prince. some of his words were still audible, with squeaking sounds, and his actions were all so hilarious when he wanted to convey that Giselle was in danger to Prince Edward. lolz.

My favourite scene was when Robert disagreed with Giselle's happy ever after mentality, and she got so furious and frustrated with him, she got quite stunned, the 1st time ever she felt angry, also indicating that she's really all growned-up, or she starts to feel that human connection and taste abit of reality, and then she felt wonderful instead because she never felt that way before and Robert was like confused, thinking why is she mad at me. then she hit him, that was just funny... and she started touching Robert's chest, it's not lust, but it was like at the spur of the moment, the heat and fire, the chemistry between them and they almost kissed but Robert walked away instead, and she was shocked, ya know, her true love's kiss gone. man, that moment was just super hot, both of them were great in that scene.

and where Giselle danced and sang in Central Park, man, she was just so gracful and wonderful. and Robert was like. "i don't dance, and i don't sing too"... it was just hilarious.

and another scene where Giselle was cleaning up Robert's apartment, singing "Happy Working Song", man, pigeons, rats, and even cockroaches, ewwww, went into his apartment, and i was practically gaping at it. cockroaches, what!!!! =.="

sigh, such a nice movie, i think i can watch it a few more times. HAHAHA!!!

I am so in love with Taylor Swift's new album. it's so yummy!!! it's been quite a long time since i've found an album i really really love, etc, i guess the last one was Colbie Caillat's Coco. You see, i have a thing, when there's a nice song from a certain artiste, i download the whole album, and in the end, there's only a few songs i really like. but in some special cases, some of them would be really awesome!!!

Her incredible songs and her youthful voice makes me so joyful and energised. i so love her voice. and the lyrics are so genuine and real, it's so cute. brilliant man. i think im going to buy it. ehehe.

the minority can even become prime minister?!?
i was laughing sinisterly like hell.
"ya RIGHT!!!!" simply talk got -lah.
if Chinese or Indian, or Kadazan or Iban, or orang asli become PM,
all hell would break loose, havoc and chaos ada -lah.
but of course i hope this would visualize and happen one day, don't know whether im still alive anot then.

anyway, im still glad that Barack Obama won the presidential election. he has that vision, "Yes, We Can", that aura, and he's young, he has the vitality. saw him on Oprah once, and i thought he was inspirational.

Halloween

It's Halloween time again. my community (where i live) is having a trick-or-treat activity, mainly its aim is for children and kids. yes, they are going to be dressed in costumes and going to every house to collect sweets. and nope, me and my brother are not participating, obviously. lol. unfortunately, our range of candies here are not as vast and various like in the States and other countries. lol. that's so sad really, i love sweets so much, especially foreign sweets, it makes me go "oh, so cute and yummy!!!" =.="

it's such a pity that Halloween is not celebrated on a large scale here though. it would be really fun and awesome. but im thinking there would be activities held by colleges and universities and stuff, i remember Taylor's had one. hehe. anyway, Happy Halloween!!! =)

i dressed up as a pumpkin during Halloween a long long time ago. haha. i remember i was too afraid to go to the party that was held in the basement of the apartment i lived, too spooky. HAHA! for your amusement, here's the picture below. lol.

tadaaa!!!

Moonlight Resonance :: 溏心风暴之家好月圆

Moonlight Resonance, one of the best TVB drama i've ever watched, no kidding! and the highest rating TVB drama to date. It has basically no connection with Heart of Greed (溏心风暴) because it compiles of different characters, but it uses back all the same casts, with some new additions of actors. MR has a more cheerful and comedy tone than HOG (both parents passed away, and it was meaner and sometimes illogical) while in MR (to complement with the Mooncake Festival), it has a much much happier ending. and the good prevailed in the end, while those evil and mean characters all turned over a new leaf.

With the similar casts from HOG and a few additional casts, the actings would definitely deserve thumbs-up, absolutely fantastic, coming from several veterans and of course, the new generation of actors. The plot is quite different from HOG, the father didn't have 2 wives, he divorced, and he married again, but later on realised his 1st wife was still the best. they have 6 children, 3 each after the divorce. and there was a vast difference between the 2 families, one (the Gam family) became rich, another (the Chung household) was not so well-to-do but was living in happiness. and this time it has no concern about abalones but mooncakes, and traditional Hong Kong biscuits.

Besides that, MR has more dramatic, emotional, and touching scenes and moments than HOG, that would almost make you cry. Unlike Taiwan dramas, Hong Kong dramas are more to reality, and you can find it in MR. Personally, i prefer MR over HOG, but there are some parts i still liked better in HOG, like the relationship between Tak Tak Tei (得得地 by Moses Chan) and Sheung Joy Sum (常在心 by Linda Chung) and Alfred (程亮 by Raymond Lam). Both pairings were so cute together!! ~~~

and of course there were scenes fighting over the family fortune in the end, as the father decided to divorce his present wife and reunite with his 1st wife. love triangle relationships, Moses Chan-Tavia Yeung-Kate Tsui and Raymond Lam-Linda Chung-Bosco Wong. They focused alot more on Ray-Linda-Bosco rather than how the love relationship between Moses and Tavia blossomed which was quite a pooper. i wanted to see more of Moses and Tavia together, nice chemistry!! but well, since Ray and Linda couldn't get together in HOG, so, i think they decided to add more in MR, and of course! they ended up together. love them. they're like the golden couple on-screen, so matching!! *wakakakaka*

the ending is even more memorable than HOG (where the last scene it showed Moses and Linda getting together, and running in the colourful rain), so i liked the MR ending scene better. and it had peaked 50, the scenes involving Yan Hong and her daughter Yu Sou Chao. also, it gave a full explanation of how everybody turned out to be after 4 years. lol.

Let's get down to the characters.

(李司琪) Louise Lee as Hor ma (钟笑荷)

Her character is still as wise, full with wisdom, kind, caring and strict, serious as it was in HOG. it's pretty much the same actually. She portrayed the role perfectly as the best mother her children could ever have. she is understanding and protective over her family, and tries her best to keep her children united whenever their stepmother gives them trouble. Louise Lee has no problem in playing the role of a kind mother as i've seen her in this role for many times already, but it stills touches my heart deeply, she is what that keeps the family together. has a saying by her children, " 荷妈在大厅，吾使怕 (hor ma hai dai teng, mm sai keng) ", when there's Hor ma, there's no need to be afraid.

(米雪) Michelle Yim as Yan Hong (殷红)

the evil stepmother. the woman who destoyed the Gam family's happiness. the main troublemaker. always trying to make trouble for the Chung family whenever her husband gets too close to them. she was so full of vengeance towards the end, that she won the court case and got 70% of the share of the shop, and even pushed their grandma off the stairs, resulting in her death. in the end, she went to jail for 3 years and turned over a new leaf. Michelle Yim did an excellent job here portraying the evil one. so evil i feel like slapping her. lol. in the final episode, she was really good when she was betrayed by her daughter, Yu Sou Chao (with good intentions), she was trying to hold back her emotions, not crying, still trying to be tough, but she was just sadden why her daughter would do that. awesome.

(夏雨) Ha Yu as Jou bao (甘泰祖)
at first, he is indecisive, and gets influenced easily by other peoples' words. he is full of regret by what he has done in the past 12 years, the divorce and everything after knowing how Yan Hong had treated his 3 children who had followed him after the divorce. therefore, he tries his best to repay his heartless deeds, and remains a very close relationship with his 6 children, always having dinner, and fooling around with them. a likable character, and he changed his ways to protect his children, and got back together with Hor ma in the end, just like how their children wanted. Ha Yu's perfomance is just as good as well, it is well-known he has good acting skills. the way he feels all sorry for his children, Hor ma, how he feels so happy with his children and all of a sudden he turns sorrow for what he did to them. neat.

(李香琴) Li Heung Kam as Ma Ma (grandma - 佘君丽)
A stubborn grandma at first. wants to have all her 6 grandchildren in her house. but later turns a soft-heart, and accepted the fact that, although her 6 grandchildren can't be with her forever, she will always be in their hearts. she's is just jealous of Hor ma, how she gets all the love from her children, but of course they love their grandma as well. some old folks are just like that. =.=" good job here from Li Heung Kam as well. lol.

(周驄) Chow Chung as Gong Gong (grandpa - 鍾泛達)

Hor ma's father, the kids grandpa. he has quite a funny role here, but gives in too much to his youngest daughter, Sa yi, gets influenced by what she says every time. lol. however, he is nominated for the Best Supporting Actor in the 2008 TVB Anniversary Awards.

(关菊英) Suzanna Kwan as Sa yi (钟笑莎)

Hor ma's younger sister, not biologically though. i couldn't really stand her voice in the beginning of the show as she's very very talkative(so piercing and high), telling lies, taking advantage of people and stuff. Very money-minded and even betrayed her sister. however, towards the 2nd half of the show, she learned a very valuable lesson, when she found out she wasn't her dad's biological daughter, she turned over a new leaf, but to her horror and misery, her daughter was following her evil footsteps. Suzanna Kwan is just good in playing this type of roles, but in HOG she was meaner. lol.

(陈豪) Moses Chan as Ah Ka (甘永家)

The eldest son. His role here is definitely different from HOG, although both characters are cheerful, happy-go-lucky, but there is a more playful touch in this show. he was kinda oblivious towards his family in the beginning of the show, always playing with shares, but in the end, he quit, because of his mother's pleas and his sister, Ah Yuet (Tavia Yeung). he grew more and more concerned about his family later on. had a love relationship with Ga Mei (Kate Tsui) but dumped her because she carried out her evil intentions to hurt Ah Yuet. Moses is always great at doing comical and silly stuff, even the way he talks is plain funny. lol.

(林峰) Raymond Lam as Ah Hou aka Goon Kar Chai (甘永好)
the second son. He was more yeng in HOG, haha, super yeng, but still good looking in MR, just that not stylish only. lol. he is like the man in the house, always taking good care of his family and protecting them. have a really good relationship with Yu Sou Chao (Linda Chung) since they were young, it's like first love for both of them actually. a very filial son and grandson, sacrificing his studies because he wanted to help out in his mother's shop. I have no comment about Lam Fung's acting, but he was good in portraying the honest, kind Goon Kar Chai who only wanted Yu Sou Chao to be happy with her boyfriend, Dr. Ling (Bosco Wong).

(杨怡) Tavia Yeung as Ah Yuet (甘永月)
The adopted daughter of the family, therefore, she can be with Ah Ka. She's strong on the outside, but quite fragile and soft in the inside. but still, she is very strong-minded, always voicing out, standing up and defending for herself and others. everybody loves her very much even though she's an adopted child. IMO, i love Tavia's character here, very bold, stubborn at times, but always having good intentions, and it was so frustrating to see her get set up by Ga Mei. i was hoping there were more on-screen time just only for Moses and Tavia's character!! ahh, but that didn't happen, sad. and Tavia's acting was excellent as well, and she looked very pretty! she just keeps improving. awesome. one of my favourite characters.

(黎诺懿) Chris Lai as Ah Yuen (甘永圆)
His character didn't really develop much here compared to HOG. he was not around most of the time with the family which was all Yan Hong's plan, having him flying to some other place so that he wouldn't get to be close with his siblings. he claimed that he was closer to Yan Hong instead of Hor ma, as he thought he caused Yan Hong's miscarriage last time, but finally learned the truth about it. also, he was forced to corroborate with Yan Hong as he got into a car accident causing a death of a person, and she bribed the authorities there to release him. everything prevailed in the end. and he ended up with Ga Mei.

(陈法拉) Fala Chen as Ah Hing (甘永庆)
Im not a fan of Fala Chen to be honest, i can't really bear to watch her characters in other TVB dramas, always playing the not so welcoming role, or how to say, sluts. but she's very pretty though. her character here really caught my eye (but im still NOT a fan), as she plays a dumb but not deaf person. even though she can't talk, i find her role pretty eye-catching. because she has to be more focused on her facial expression and the eyes especially, not bad really.

Vincent Wan as Zhong Chai (甘永中)

the youngest son and child. a newcomer i guess. he was sent away to UK for his studies at the age of 12 i think, i can't really remember, the idea of Yan Hong as well. more of a lonely person, but gets better, more cheerful when he decided to stay with Hor ma and his older siblings.

(钟嘉欣) Linda Chung as Yu Sou Sum aka Yu Sou Chao (于素心 aka 于素秋)

i heart Linda Chung, totally!! she's very very cute and pretty as well. XD although i preferred her role in HOG as Sheung Joy Sum, as her character developed very nicely in there. and what's up with the hair, centre parting, it doesn't suit her, where's her cute hair she haves in other TVB series. hmph. Yu Sou Chao is different from her mother, Yan Hong. she feels guilty for her mother destroying Jou bao's and Hor ma's family in the 1st place but is very very close to Hor ma and the others as well, especially Goon Kar Chai. However, she gets all mixed up and confused as she was caught in between Goon Kar Chai and Dr. Ling. her crying scenes are really good, i remember it made me all sad and teary in HOG when Alfred died. In MR, she cries too much that all netizens called her a crybaby here. lol. her acting skills just keep improving and improving, one of the brightest actress in the future, so move aside Charmaine Sheh, here comes Linda Chung! lol. in the last episode, she was just great as she decided to give her mother, Yan Hong a lesson, in a good way. that scene peaked 50. awesome. and obviously she ended up with Goon Kar Chai, if not i would protest!!! haha. they look so yummy together. lol.

(黄宗泽) Bosco Wong as Dr. Ling (凌至信)
i totally didn't like Bosco's character here. he had a girlfriend and still he had to get close to Yu Sou Chao. hmph. making Yu Sou Chao all so sad and confused. lol. anyway, he's still a good person as he decided to help Yu Sou Chao to teach her mother a lesson. he's just a guest cast in this show, as he had another show to work on.

(徐子珊) Kate Tsui as Ga Mei (路嘉美)
Honestly, i don't like Kate Tsui, and i don't know why. her acting cute and all when she was together with Ah Ka gave me goosebumps in a bad way, i just can't bear to watch. but she's pretty good at being evil, maybe it's her eyes or something. lol. her character is so uber evil!! just like her mother, Sa Yi at 1st, maybe even worst, when she started to betray Sa Yi and went over to Yan Hong's side. ughhh. luckily Ah Ka was clever enough to dump her. lol.

This is definitely a series that can't be missed!~~ with all the super cast and the super acting, MR is just superb!!

Edited* Congratulations to Michelle Yim and Ha Yu for winning Best Actress and Best Actor respectively and also Tavia Yeung for bagging away the Best Supporting Actress award. =)

我想坦白 :: confessions

我并不是一个沉默的人， 只是慢热而已
我超喜欢哈哈的大声笑， 因为这就是我的个性！

可以说我是一个半阳光的人， 有时候可以十分活泼
但 一瞬间也可变得安静

以前我个性超暴躁，但现在已经好多了
能自觉的控制
我真的不是一个好惹的人
还有我是一个被动而不是主动的人

我喜欢静静地思考， 不喜欢被人打扰， 不然我会觉得十分困扰
我不喜欢人多的地方， 觉得实在很恐怖
吵吵闹闹， 人来人往的地方， 能避免就避免
但如果真的有必要，需要， 那我只好奉陪和遵命


我想坦白
真实的我 还蛮自我的
不主动跟陌生人讲话， 不会热情打招呼
我没有说话， 不爱说话， 但我不是拽
我也没有任何可以耍拽的资格

我想，我真的很不擅长跟人群互动，的确有点害怕
但既然我将会在医院里工作，就不得不能跟人互动
正确来说应该是跟病人互动吧！
还有病人的家属，医生,护士...

了解我的人 就会清楚我是一个怎样的人
我喜欢活在自己一个人的世界里的怪胎
我这个人就是怪里怪气
一会而 傻傻,幼稚 的 一会而 会认真起来
当然我也有突破的时候
就是超喜欢跟知心和信任朋友吵吵嚷嚷的
超珍惜这种时光
也是我非常期待的一刻

所以如果有时候我没有回答你，没有打招呼，那时候就是我对人没有兴趣
或者我太投入在自己寻找的快乐里，或工作里
非常抱歉， 真的真心诚意的抱歉！

actually...

I want to watch xxxHolic, yet Megavideo is not budging, it keeps getting stuck after 6 seconds or even 23 seconds. such a pity really. i guess i have to wait till Friday, 12 a.m. on Animax.

I feel like watching High School Musical 3: Senior Year in the cinema (yeah, cheesy huh) after listening to the soundtrack, what can i say, i guess these are the best songs in the trilogy. Even the song "I Want It All" by Ashley Tisdale and Lucas Grabeel is the best song from Sharpay and Ryan. lol. and the duet between Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens for "Can I Have This Dance" is beautiful as well. but the trailer gave me chills especially the part in the basketball court, (a little in a bad way) and i don't feel like wasting money...

my 2 favourite characters from anime Keroro Gunso : Dororo (light blue) and Tamama!!

see how Tamama's eyes changes, red veins come out when he's all angry, or provoked, double personality. and then he gives out his Tamama Impact, a super "abugae", (ya know? Dragon Ball, that round power force thingy) HAHA!

P.S. shit, im starting to lose my mind and there's no substance in my topics anymore. not like there always was. lol.

魔杰座 [Mo Jie Zuo] :: Jay Chou

Jay Chou's ninth album, 魔杰座 (Mo Jie Zuo). It means the combination between magic and music. It's weird but i don't know what is the English name for this album, because 魔杰座 is taken from the horoscope 魔蝎座 (Capricorn), and it's not written on the album cover, usually they do, so well, whatever then.

His first single, 稻香 (Dao Xiang) or Fragrance of Rice is the last song in this album. The lyrics are meaningful, it connects with people as it conveys the message of being grateful in life and appreciate everything you have, and it reminds people of childhood memories as well.

the 2nd single, 说好的幸福呢 (Shuo Hao De Xing Fu Ne) or Where is the Promised Happiness is kinda like a soft-rock, sad and sorrow love song. As the title suggests, it's about how the love between a couple drifted apart. my favourite song in this album. and it kinda reminds me of...

the 1st song in the album is 龙战骑士 (Long Zhan Qi Shi) or Dragon Fighter?!? my brother says it's Masked Rider (ya know, the green mask insect guy) LOL but i doubt it. i like the rhythm of this song though. it uses electronic guitar. it depicts about war, a must have style in every Jay Chou's album. lol.

给我一首歌的时间 (Gei Wo Yi Shou Ge De Shi Jian) or Give Me the Time of A Song. A R&B love song, some kind of confessing and pronouncing love to your special one. yeah, right...

蛇舞 (She Wu) or Snake Dance. a collaboration with Lara from Nanquan Mama. i totally dislike this song. wth. the opening is some kind of like Indian or maybe Egyptian thingy. ughhh. me don't like.

花海 (Hua Hai) or Ocean Flowers. a soothing song again. let's not talk about the contents, but the technique he used to perform this song. at the chorus, there would be a part where he sounded like his vocals went haywire, as in his pitching went wrong, but he was showing a vocal transition, from his real voice to the fake voice...

魔术先生 (Mr. Magician) and 乔克叔叔 (Uncle Joker) heck this 2 songs sounded like it was for kids, especially that Mr. Magician song, the rhythm is like dancers wearing tuxedo dancing with the stick and taking off their hats, very jazzy kinda style. (ya know what i mean?). the Joker song is still quite bearable, with a classic sentence, "Batman wouldn't be a box office no. 1 if there wasn't the presence of Joker. lol.

兰亭序 (Lan Ting Xu) nope i don't know the meaning of this song, a traditional Chinese-style song, a must-have style in every album as well. sigh. the lyrics are so deep that i tak faham -leh. thanks to Fang Wen Shan, the lyricist. im just impressed. teehee.

流浪诗人 (Liu Lang Shi Ren) or The Wandering Poet. this is a half Mandarin, and half Hokkien song. love the style of it. im very curious of Hokkien songs. haha. a duet with newcomer, Gary, nope it is not Gary Chaw kay...

时光机 (Shi Guang Ji) or Time Machine. heart this song too. it's something like the time machine in the Doraemon comic, with that flying bamboo that you fix on the head, and Doraemon's wonder pocket. haha! cute song.

Critics say that Jay Chou's talent is disappearing, and they slammed this album along with some web users. but i guess, what can i say? how many notes are there? only 7 with different pitches and tones. he's still making good music. IMO, his best days were still his 1st four albums, where the probability of listening to it over and over again is super high, classic i say. but some things just need changes, right. how drastic is the change, or how little is it, it all depends on individuals' taste, it's all subjective.

Rain rain go away ~~

" Rain rain, go away,
come again, another day... "

It's been raining every afternoon, that i can't seem to go for swimming, i can't go online, and i can't download Heroes! blah! how "nice" the weather it has been. and as im typing this, the sky begins to darken. =.="

As i lay in my bed during midnight, after the rain interrupting me viewing Youtube, flashes of lightning strikes through the sky, so bright like fireworks, yet it looks scary, and scurrying behind it were the roaring and growling sounds of thunder, so horribly deafening, very very loud. I wouldn't budge abit in my bed, afraid that the thunder would strike me. but i know that if my conscience is clear, i shouldn't be apprehensive at all!

So, the roaring thunder accompanied me to sleep, half-asleep and half-awake i slipped into my dreams. Goodnight!

命中注定我爱你 :: Fated To Love You

命中注定我爱你 :: Fated To Love You or You're My Destiny is a romantic comedy starring 陈乔恩 (Joe Chen Qiao En), 阮经天 (Ethan Ruan Jing Tian), 陈楚河 (Baron Chen Chu He), and 白歆惠 (Bianca Bai Xin Hui).

Well, i don't normally watch Taiwan Idol dramas as in 台湾偶像剧, because sometimes i think it's just too cheesy and far-fetched. lol. but of course, this TV serial is an exception, and this is my 2nd Taiwan Idol drama. =)

Reasons why i decided to watch ? and why i got addicted to it ? =.="

1. Firstly, even though you are not a fan of Taiwanese shows, this is still recommended because, really, it's a very very nice show.
2. This is the highest rating drama in Taiwan, broke all records, no kidding!
3. It has been featured in a US magazine, comparing it to Ugly Betty, but of course, the female lead here is more comfortable to the eyes. =.=" and it has a completely different story.
4. Acting from all actors -- fantastic! Especially the both leads, Joe Chen and Ethan Ruan, and of course a few of the veteran actors who played Joe Chen's mother, Lin Mei Xiu and Ethan Ruan's grandma, Tan Ai Zhen. and the supporting casts are super good as well!
5. Comprise many very very touching, moving and special moments.
6. The 1st time ever they went for shooting overseas, in Hong Kong and Shanghai, China.
7. The 1st ever hot HOT HOT bed scene in the 1st episode!!
8. The male lead character is not similar to other dramas, where he is more of childish, a little bit selfish, hot tempered, comical, and terrible in fighting.
9. The female lead character is definitely fresh, very stupidly selfless.
10. and of course! this is an Idol drama, there are definitely eye candies with smooth acting, Baron Chen and Bianca Bai.
11. It garnered 6 nominations for the 2008 43rd Taiwan Golden Bell Awards, and achieved 2 awards, Best Drama and Best Marketing. the 1st that happened in Taiwan Idol drama.
12. AND the chemistry between Joe Chen and Ethan Ruan is 100% perfect, very very cute together. ^^

:: from left to right standing :: Ethan Ruan, Baron Chen :: from left to right sitting :: Joe Chen, Bianca Bai

The first half of the story describes how Chen Xin Yi (Joe Chen) got into the wrong room while on a ship cruise, and accidentally had a one night stand with a stranger, Ji Cun Xi (Ethan Ruan), and she got pregnant. Cun Xi was forced to marry her. It shows how the love between Xin Yi and Cun Xi blossoms. The way Xin Yi loves Cun Xi, such a difficult love, and yet it was abit romantic at times when Cun Xi was slowly falling for Xin Yi.

:: both met on the cruise ::

It became complicated in the middle, as Cun Xi's girlfriend, Anna (Bianca Bai) came back and havoc erupted. It was just the saddest part of all, they lost their baby because of a car accident, 纪念品 (Ji Nian Pin) translated as "souvenier" (IMO, i think it's a meaningful name). Their acting in that scene is just so surreal, you feel so melancholy and touched. After the incident, Xin Yi went off to Shanghai with Dylan (Baron Chen) to start over a new life.

Over the 2 years, Xin Yi transformed into a confident woman while Cun Xi became more matured. Towards the end, Cun Xi still haven't changed his childish ways, trying all means to win Xin Yi's heart back, very hilarious and stupid at the same time but very entertaining though. lol.

:: the transformation of Xin Yi ::

Joe Chen Qiao En as 陈欣怡 (Chen Xin Yi)

Chen Xin Yi is what they call a Post-It note girl, because she always obeys everything everybody ask her to do, which she always never says no, therefore, everybody always take advantage of her kindness. She cares about how people would think about her, therefore, she works really hard to make people like her, sometimes tend to fall for people easily whenever someone treats her good. lol.

Only one word can be described in how she portrayed Chen Xin Yi -- brilliant!!! Awesome performance and acting, every action, behaviour, emotion felt so natural, so real, you feel like it is indeed her real personality, but there is a very vast difference, off-screen, Qiao En is a very straightforward, active, independent person. The way she played Xin Yi's soft, kind-hearted, full with compassion just melts your heart, although sometimes you would feel she is just very stupid, too selfless in many ways (i can't resist myself from yeeling at the screen sometimes), i really love her performance. Those little actions she played are just naturally funny, and super cute, you can't resist to giggle and laugh abit. lol. Her crying scenes were all beautifully done, can't help but to be touched by it. Her feelings when she was always let down by Cun Xi, and yet she couldn't let Cun Xi see through her, keeping it all inside her heart, man, it's all so sad. There was this part where she was about to lose her baby, her expression, begging Cun Xi not to sign the abortion paper, damn, it was so devastating that i can't help but shed a few tears, really! Qian En's and Ethan's acting were so genuine, it was so freaking touching. and i find that Chen Qiao En is really pretty ^^. Really hope she would win Best Actress in the 2008 Taiwan Golden Bell awards. and btw, she and Ethan have perfect chemistry!!!

Ethan Ruan Jing Tian as 纪存希 (Ji Cun Xi)

Ji Cun Xi hails from a very rich family, and is the head of a huge company. His character is childish yet responsible and charming and a very gentle man. needs anger-management classes because of his hot-tempered-ness. and quite indecisive in love matters.

I heart this handsome and cute hunk ever since i watched Green Forest My Home! His charming demeanor! *shrieks and faints*. He really improved alot, it's very good that they gave him the golden opportunity to play the lead role, it really suits him. Really hilarious at being a klutz, and brilliant at comedy scenes, it's just so funny, and he did good at emotional scenes as well. Like the way he always stares at Xin Yi, just how much pain he felt when Xin Yi told him that they were just strangers. The look on his face when he knew he was about to lose their baby. His face is just full of expressions, and with his thick, caterpillar-like eyebrows, it's even more hilarious in those funny scenes, he looks so comical, his facial expression is just priceless! and i love love the chemistry between him and Qiao En.

Baron Chen Chu He as Dylan

He is like a guardian to Chen Xin Yi, always protecting her and helping her, and he loves her as well. Transformed Xin Yi, changing her image and all. A very cool, calm-headed, rational character, suits Baron i guessed, though i don't really think he got a chance to shine his acting skills here, but still, very smooth acting.

Bianca Bai as Anna

She is actually Dylan's long-lost sister, her name is also actually Xin Yi. lol. I think Bianca did an OK job only, really. Half of the time, her scenes with Cun Xi, it seems like she's just acting cute and all, which turned into quite a reverse effect. Well, she's still quite new in acting i guess, she started as a model in Taiwan, haven't really grasp the technique of acting yet. Her character, Anna, is quite selfish, leaving Cun Xi for her ballet, and forged Cun Xi's name and gave Xin Yi an abortion letter. Quite evil actually, but what can i say? love is blind, you can't seem to think rationally sometimes.

Fated To Love You OST

All the songs match perfectly in the scenes of this drama. Although the background music was not as much as Green Forest My Home, but still excellent songs, simple rhythm but it touches deep inside your heart, cute and warm. but i can't seem to find it in the CD stores!! T.T hmph.

Overall, i really love LOVE this drama. Best drama i've ever watched this year, of course, alongside with TVB's Moonlight Resonance, another awesome Hong Kong drama.

Busy watching Fated To Love You :: 命中注定我愛你 ! Will be back soon!

There is still 5 more months before i embark to another new chapter in my life, which is appropriately 23rd of February, 2009. It's still quite a long way to go, but time flies faster than you can imagine, and i just feel nervous and excited at how it would be like pursuing my dreams.

As for now, i think i would be moving to Bukit Jalil as transportation is one heck of a problem. Well, i can actually take the LRT there, but i don't know, someone says it's too tedious and hectic and all, as i have to change trains at the Masjid Jamek station, and classes starts at 8 a.m. and it might end at 6.30 p.m. I've been attached to my home so much, i have a feeling of fear living there all alone , but sometimes i just feel like flying away from home, what a dilemma!

and now, i am completely unsure whether to rent a twin-sharing, or a single room. Having a roommate would be nice, especially taking the same course and being freshmans together, but i guess it would totally depend on my luck on whether i would have a good roommate. lol. sigh. and now i need to purchase formal clothings and stuff. bleargh.

sometimes i feel the urge to write stuff, but when i've clicked the "new post" section, and "whoooosh" all the emotions seem to flow away while staring at the blank page. blearghhhh!!

wanted to write a review about Moonlight Resonance. hmm. procrastination. i'll think i'll write it another day! pardon me. HAHA!

found this old picture in an old CD and decided to share it with everyone. HAHA! do you know who is that? you know right? don't you? =/

LOL!

she provoked

we spied and

we retaliated

she must and would pay

for her unscrupulous and demonic deeds

we abhor that monstrous animal

sometimes i have the desire of taking up photography lessons. it amazes me. i don't want to be amateurish, i want it to be cool. i feel so awed by those super cool, high-tech cameras. itchy-hands it makes me. sadly, i can't afford the camera. =.="

fight of those Gundams, will ya? =P

suddenly, i feel the need of changing my hairstyle. i want to cut it like boyish short. since i'm stuck at home for half a year, if it doesn't turn out nice or cool, all i have to do is stay at home everyday. HEHE! but i'm still having doubts about it. sigh.

camwhored one fine night

I've been watching Moonlight Resonance - 溏心风暴之家好月圆 TVB drama, and all i can say that the drama is awesome. Superb acting. Very moving and touching. Every episode has this nice climax. One of the best TVB drama i've watched.

Now we're all grown up, everything seems so near, yet the feelings to reach out to secure your dreams are not there. Thinking back when we were still kids playing happily in the playground, everything seems distant, but the flaming desire was there too keep us striving. The innocence was so humongous and strong, it's overwhelming, there were no worries to think about. This is where the catch is. The worries were saved for now, for when we've grown up. All we want is to be happy, to be able to reach for the dreams we've dreamed once when we were little.

Glancing back, every scene and memories still seem so fresh. All the tears i've flowed. All the challenges i've faced and finally overcame. I got my heart broken. I've did naughty things but i still feel proud about it. Looking at how fast my brother grew into a quite rebellious teenager, and he's still a few inches away to be as tall as my dad. How i'm going to be able to achieve my ambition. i can't wait really.

All the best to everybody who's on their way to achieve their dreams!

at least Lee Chong Wei achieved a silver medal after all his efforts. Congratulations!

at least the Malaysian flag is raised up high.

i thought it was supposed to be an exciting and brilliant game. but instead Chong Wei made so many mistakes that was contributed freely to Lin Dan. It wasn't easy at all, all the pressure put on Chong Wei, who doesn't want to win the gold medal right. Although he could be much, much more better. felt really heartbroken, i think the whole Malaysians would. Lin Dan played really good, really strong guy, smashes were all beautiful, and he looked better physically and mentally, he really wanted to win that gold medal. Lin Dan still had several advantages.

1. It was in his own country, home ground.
2. The crowd obviously, cheered for him all the way, distracting really.
3. He is the World Champion!
4. and Lee Chong Wei made so many mistakes, damn it.

but anyway, getting a silver is good enough, there were no silvers before for the singles match. =)

Wall-E

Wall-E, the last robot on earth.

The story begins with Wall-E's life on planet Earth. In over 700 years, the adorable robot has became highly inquisitive and curious about the junks and rubbish on Earth. Everyday, after getting charged up by the sun (solar power), he decompresses trash and stacks them up till tall buildings of trash could be seen everywhere. His only friend is the cutest coakcroach i've ever seen, so slim and so cute. HAHA! Wall-E collects items that he finds interesting, and saving spare parts for himself from other inactive Wall-E units. and he would always watch the musical "Hello, Dolly!", especially the performances of "Put On Your Sunday Clothes", which he dances to when he found a round dish, and "It Only Takes A Moment" which teaches him emotion, especially by the act of holding hands, which he interprets as the act of showing love.

One day, a large spaceship lands on Earth, leaving a robot called EVE (Extraterrestial Vegetation Evaluator), who's directive is to detect living plants on Earth. Wall-E falls in love immediately with Eve (love at first sight) but is quite intimidated by her plasma cannon, but still tries several ways to win her heart. Although amused by Wall-E's antics and personality, Eve, however, does not manifest any romantic feelings towards Wall-E.

Wall-E found a bra.

and out of curiousity, wears it on his eyes. HAHA!

Wall-E then decides to show her the seedling plant he found and Eve detecting the plant, immediately stores it and goes into hibernation/standby mode. Wall-E then takes up the job of caring for her, protecting her, and still did not give up in winning her heart. He protected her during the rain, which he got electrocuted several times by the lightning. He covered her with a blanket when it snowed, and even took her out for a date, and held her hand, but she of course, she was not aware of it.

After that, Eve was retrieved by the same spaceship. Devastated, Wall-E clings onto the spaceship and he arrives at Axiom, where it had been the humans' dwelling for 700 years, supposedly used for 5 years only. On the way when Eve was sent to the main deck, Wall-E stayed by her side like a faithful companion. He encounters various interesting happenings, both concerning robots and humans, leading them to act outside their behaviour, but found it refreshing and new. but, alas, the plant was stolen. Eve was thought to have malfunctioned and was sent to the repair department with Wall-E. Eventually, they both got into trouble. Annoyed by Wall-E's actions, Eve decides to send him back to Earth by an escape pod, and he still thought that Eve was going back with him, his actions were just too touching.

Unknowingly to them, the plant was stolen by Auto's assistant, GO-4, (Auto is the ship's autopilot). GO-4 threw the plant into the escape pod, and Wall-E, seeing the situation, went to retrieve the plant, but was launched into space in the pod. Wall-E though, manages to escape when the pod self-destructed. EVE is so happy that she gives WALL-E a "kiss", an electronic discharge, and they share a dance around the Axiom.

The story ensues with Eve and Wall-E trying to save humanity because with the plant, humans could finally return to Earth. Along the way, Eve fell in love with Wall-E because she saw the security camera footage, which allowed Eve to see Wall-E doing romantic things for her. The ship's pilot, Captain McCrea, seeing the condition of earth through Eve's camera footage, decides to bring everyone back to earth, but is stopped by Auto. In the process of saving the world, Wall-E got electrocuted by Auto, and got crushed by the holo-detector.

However, the Captain managed to overpower Auto, by switching him of to manual, and brought the humans back to Earth. Eve then quickly replaced Wall-E's parts, but he lost his memory. Saddened and heartbroken by it, Eve tried desperately to revive Wall-E's memory, by showing the stuff he showed her, by holding his hands, and gives him a parting "kiss". Fortunately, the resulting spark reboots Wall-E's memory, and he recognizes Eve, and was so happy that he finally held hands with Eve. and so the humans and robots got to work together, restoring Earth to its' original state.

Wall-E and Eve dancing around in space.

This imaginative comedy adventure movie was pretty much dialogue-free, except when they got into Axiom which was full with humans. With the robot emitting adorable sounds, and the way Eve and Wall-E called each other's name, its enough to make you go awwww. The mastermind behind Wall-E's voice is Ben Burtt, who voiced R2-D2 in Star Wars and E.T. and Eve, voiced by Elissa Knight.

This movie is totally hilarious without even trying hard. Although Wall-E is comprised of just a yellow box and a pair of binocular eyes, the way he looks up in the sky, the way he goes soft when he sees Eve, the reflexion of the sky in his eyes is just enough to get your heart mesmerised. His pureness and innocence is just touching enough. The way he took care of Eve when she was deactivated with all the romantic stuff, it was all really adorable. and the funny friendship between Wall-E and M-O (a cleaning robot), so adorable! and besides, the nice nice super nice graphics, everything seemed so realistic. NICE!

Furthermore, there were sad and sombre parts. When Wall-E got shocked by Auto, and even though how much he hunger for Eve's affection by holding his hands, he selflessly pushed away her love, and wanted to save planet Earth and the human race instead. and when Eve was trying desperately to restore his memory, how he looked at Eve as she was a stranger, i almost wanted to cry. I mean, how can Wall-E just forget everything!!! The chasteness of their actions and expression were definitely flawless and prefect. This is yet another extraordinary Pixar production by spicing the movie up with a moving romance.

Of course other than the theme love, the other message of the movie is just as imperative as well. The movie shows how Earth looks like in the future, all hazy, all dirty, full with trash, rubbish, junk. How all homosapiens survived by living on a ship full with robots satisfying their everyday needs, without lifting even a finger.

The end result after 700 years? Obesity took over. The have even forgot how Earth looks like and they can't even walk! and have lost considerable bone mass. Humans became too dependable on robots and they became lazy, even to walk. This conveys the message of, we humans, must practice the act of recycling, like how Wall-E does, and reduce all activities that would pollute planet Earth and destroy the Earth's biosphere.

M-O and Wall-E

The humourous aspects in the movie just gets you laughing and smiling all the way. Really GREAT movie. and those sad moments were so tear-jerking. Wonderful really. Love this Pixar movie. nice!

Captain McCrea and Eve, joining forces to stop Auto from taking over the ship.

and Eve have several expressions by showing it with her eyes, and her actions, her hands especially. She and Wall-E together, just adorable!


last but not least, the Hero, Wall-E. HAHAHAHAHA! watch it now! another movie that must not be missed. =)
