Because I just don’t feel the slightest bit sleepy at all… I’m gonna do a mini review on some of the movies I’d seen at the cinema lately! :P

The Last Breath (Korean)
Screechy music aplenty.
When the scene gets eeriely quiet, you know it’s time to expect a scary moment!
Confusing intertwining storylines and jumpy timeline.
Boring ending.
But still good for a couple of genuine scares, especially if blood makes you queasy. :)

Across The Universe
Artistic, with a mixture of live action, 2D and 3D motion graphics.
Expect the characters to burst into a Beatles song every 5 minutes or so.
Flow of the movie feels messy and you start to wonder when the ending would be coming.
Lead actor and actress were great though - the guy looks like Jake Gyllenhaal. :D

Hitman
Beginning’s exciting, middle part is all right, and the ending is sort of a snoozer.
Action scenes are good, and the verbal sparring between the hitman and the main girl is funny to watch.
The hitman, Timothy Olyphant, pulls off the bald look REALLY well. *swoons*

Balls Of Fury
Slapstick and lowbrow humour all the way.
But you will be laughing your guts out all the same.
The plot? Do you really care about that? Just laugh at the jokes for approximately 2 hours, and you’re done. ;)

Stardust
One of the better movies of the year, I think.
Very witty and definitely a charming romance movie.
Oh, and Michelle Pfeiffer is so awesomely scary in her role.
And Robert De Niro’s character is so hilarious, you gotta see it to believe it.
I give it five star(dust)s, teehee!

Bee Movie
It’s voiced and co-written by Jerry Seinfeld, and there’s the Seinfeld brand of humour all over it.
Cutesy with some offbeat jokes, you wouldn’t have guessed that bees actually are pretty interesting.
And yeahh, they can fly despite their wings being smaller than their body.. very cool! :P

Wokays, time for me to attempt to get some zzz’s. The weather’s been unbelievably hot, what’s wrong with it?! The rain gods must be off on a holiday somewhere. Hmphh. G’nite!

** = Thanks For The Memories

This is a collective birthday shout out to the 3 November babies in the MGs… ;)

*throws imaginary confetti and birthday cake* Hope y’all have wonderful celebrations ya. <3

Wheww finally!

It’s not jaw-droppingly gorgeous or anything, but yeahh, I needed something new here nevertheless so here it is! :P

It’s like what I keep telling people - change is good. :)

Oh, I can’t believe I struggled with coding the HTML so much. Well that’s what happens when I haven’t touched webdesigning for more than a year. After all, the previous design came out in August ‘06, ahahah. -_-” Rusty skills, tsk tsk.

October 2007 will go down in history as the month where I got hit by moments of clarity - not once, but twice.

Both times were on different situations, but they seem so similar..

Basically, on both occasions I’d just come to realize, “I can’t do this anymore.”

I saw the end, it was right within my reach… all I had to do was to speak. And it would all be over.

People had their comments - “So fast? Are you sure about it? Why don’t you give it another try before quitting for real?”

But y’know, the decision didn’t just come to me overnight. It was not as sudden and impulsive as they would think. If they knew how many nights I’d been kept awake, as the thoughts crash and pull and crash again like tides in the ocean… If they knew the countless tears that were wasted in trying to console myself that things will get better if only I could hold on for a bit longer…

The thing is, it didn’t get better. And I believed in the notion that there’s so much out there that I’ve yet to explore… So why should I tie myself down with these painful burdens which I didn’t wanna carry around anymore? What good would it do, really?

And so I got tired of waiting for a miracle.

I squared my shouders, gathered as much courage as possible (though I was scared as shit, okie!) - and I just did it. Knowing full well that I’d given everything much consideration, I trusted my instincts that I’d done what was right for my own sanity and happiness.

Everything became simpler then. There was the point of held breath as I let my decisions unfold - but after that, there was relief as I finally exhaled.

Of course, freedom came with a price. And I paid in full, coz the liberation was worth it. A little bit of emptiness was nothing compared to full-on heartache and exhaustion. I didn’t want to continue dreading what tomorrow would bring, you know what I mean? That was not how I planned to live my life. I needed to reclaim my happy times, and I needed to remember how it felt like to laugh freely again. ;(

And so those moments of clarity brought me to where I am today. :D It’s not that life has suddenly changed to a bed of roses for me… But at least I can see possibilites and an open road ahead now.

And you have no idea how precious these things are… not until you have to lose them. ;)

So I’ve finally seen the movie last Saturday, after driving back to Wai Mun’s house at 2 AM… LoL Such spirit, all in the name of catching the Jay Chou flick which had previously eluded me. :P With the lights switched off, CK already passed out on the sofa thanks to numerous glasses of Chivas neat, Wai Mun and Eva sprawled comfortably on the floor, and me and Pooi on the bean bag - we proceeded to be immersed in Secret for the next hour and a half.

My thoughts on the movie? Well the music and the whole feel of the it was great, however the main actress aka Jay Chou’s love interest kinda ruined it for me. -_-” I dunno, to me she just seemed to lack the charisma that was needed to play the lead. And yeahh okie, so I didn’t think she was appealing enough and there was something a little off about her. :P Haha. But heyy, Wai Mun and CK both thought she was hot. So to each their own, eh? At least Pooi agreed with me that she wasn’t good looking - he was like, “haha looks like we have the same taste!”, which sounded a bit wrong since I’m not into girls anyway… hahaha, eesh. :P

CK, with good timing, woke up right when the movie credits started rolling, and someone suggested that we go for breakfast… And so we did! We soon found ourselves in Sri Petaling, having bak kut teh at 4.30 AM.. It was fun though. :D Haven’t done the whole eating trip at dawn thing in a long while. Everyone’s always tired from work and stuff. ;( So it was a good night which ended on a deliciously satisfying note.

And you know, I did say that I was gonna stay away from alcohol until January 2008 comes along… But that resolution got broken almost instantly, like a few days after… It’s tough when you have alco-heads as friends and temptation is everywhere, rite?! *ahem* Yesh, none of it was my fault, and I’m blaming all of you, so there. Lalala. :D

Though I’ve sent her a text message at 12.30am on November 6th, must not leave out a (belated) birthday greeting for this cheery girl on my blog! :D Sooo…

*throws confetti* It was great getting to celebrate with you at San Francisco Steakhouse and Finnegan’s after that. May your upcoming year be joyous and wonderful… Have never regretted getting to know this girl here. ;)

Hmm there’s a few more birthdays just around the corner… Can’t wait for all the other celebrations, whee~

A day late, but anyways…

Happy 25th birthday to Mr Tung Lee Chuan!



Pic is stolen from Peekaboo’s blog :P

Hope your day’s been filled with even more alcohol than usual, haha. :P

This guy here has been a good friend of mine for close to 3 years now… We’ve had our share of nonsense, and heyy I know I’ve disappointed him on a number of occasions… But hopefully things are looking up, and here’s to a better friendship ya? :) And thanks for all the times you’ve come to my rescue… I owe you loads! Deng Li Quan, please be happy always, you know you deserve it!

Wokays, it’s 2am and I’m going back to a friend’s place nearby coz the gang is watching Secret (that Jay Chou movie) and I’ve been wanting to watch it since forever! Haha. G’nite folks. *disappears off to USJ 11*
