宥嘉要发片了！ 终于啦！等了好久哦！不过好像才刚刚收完歌曲而已。。 应该还要多几个月才能买得到吧。。

昨天在完全娱乐看到宥嘉时，非常兴奋！因为有好久都没在电视上看到宥嘉了。。 不过有小小的失望。。因为应该是唱片公司要他减肥。。他都瘦了一圈。。　不喜欢啦。。　我喜欢他有一点嘟嘟的。。　可爱嘛。。　现在的样子有一点憔悴嘞。。　希望他不是忙坏了的关系吧。。　

宥嘉昨天上节目的原因是要宣传他在５月将要举办的演唱会！我听到这一句话的第一个想法就是，“那个时候我的工作走不走的开啊？” 对！我竟然想飞去台湾参加宥嘉的演唱会！他总共将会举办三场，一场在台北，一场在高雄，还有一场在台中。。　台北那场是最后一站，在５月２４日。。　哎哟。。　我超想去的啦。。　不过应该是不可能的啦。。　:(

宥嘉在节目上说他这次演唱会定名为　“迷宫”。好酷哦！很适合他啦！他是“迷幻宥嘉”　嘛！:)

不过很奇怪嘞。。　他都还没出片。。　演唱会上会唱什么啊？台湾人真的很怪啦。。　唱片还没出就开演唱会？？　而且是三场耶。。　真是奇怪！会不会是因为那个杨宗伟也要办演唱会了所以公司觉得宥嘉气势不能败给宗伟，所以也办演唱会呢？

anywaes, 我会尽我所能去支持他啦。。　不能去参加演唱会就只好耐心的等宥嘉的唱片出炉咯。

在YOUTUBE才能看到宥嘉的最新消息哦：
宥嘉在后台跟师姐和星光帮PK DS Lite!　玩得非常如神！


在上台前几秒。。　帅的啦！


唱片公司，华研，的庆功会晚餐！　有 S.H.E, 飞轮海　和星光棒！大家都有小小的对镜头说一些话，　像感想类的。。　可是宥嘉只频频叫摄影大哥，“来吃，来吃！”　超口爱！


宥嘉，　加油，加油，加油！:)

very sad.. i cannot find the diary i kept during the time i was with jimi.. :( i feel like a big part of my memory is lost.. the diary that travelled with me to changi airport whenever i missed him.. cuz that was the closest i cud b to him..

http://parisuperman.blogspot.com/2006/10/him.html

i lost it.. T_T

i get lots of flashbacks of my own life from time to time, especially when i am idling or watching a show that reminds me of something in my past.. and it occurred to me that the below 3 events left the strongest and most memorable impressions on me.. that until today, i remember every single bit of emotion and thought that ran through my mind and fingers at the point in time.. and i wud like to share my most favourite moments with you..

the 3 most memorable moments of my life:
in order of personal perference, 1 being most memorable.

3. Jun 2002 - NYP - Laying my hands on my admin card, after going through the downest 2 years of my life.

i remember looking long and hard at my admin card.. and the realisation that i am finally where i have worked so hard for over the past 2 years.. didn't matter than i was 2 years behind my peers.. nvm that i had to take a longer route to get here.. point is I MADE IT. and i nv felt prouder of myself.. and that was maybe the only time in my life that i felt proud of myself truly.

2. Jun 7 2003 - Changi Beach - The moment *he* slipped his arms around me.

i had been out partying with 3sa at zouk when he msged to ask me where i was. when i told him i was at zouk, he asked if he could come meet me and i said ok. when he came, we went off tgt to Alley Bar at Somerset to look for Jos and barely stayed there a while. I remember crossing the road with him and wondering at the back of my mind if he was going to hold my hand and lead me across the busy traffic. and when he didn't, i was a wee bit disappointed. but glad at the same time that he was not touchy with me. in fact, he alwaes tried to keep a safe distance which made me felt, well, safe. and then we headed to Changi beach to join his frens who were there fishing.. and that was the 1st time i met his camp mates.. he was still in NS then! and throughout the night, he chatted with his frens, while keeping close to me. and when he suddenly wrap his arms ard my waist from behind.. i knew this was it.. i jus knew it.. and his hands nv left mine from that second on. i get that tingly feeling jus thinking abt it!

1. Dec 30 2000 - Taipei - Watching sunrise tgt with him and keeping each other warm by sitting side by side and closely tgt.

YES. the most memorable moment of life has got to be those with jimi.. maybe cuz he was my 1st love.. and that the whole series of events was too dream-like.. to this day i sometimes think i dreamt it it all up.. except i didn't.. and that he is still here to remind me that it truly did happen. i remember that night, everyone was jus sitting ard, as it was the 2nd last day of the tour and after that, everyone would go back to their own lives in their own countries and put this all behind us.. so most of the ppl were making use of the last few hours to catch up with everyone.. partying.. shopping.. wateva. as for me, i stayed holed up in the hostel, while ppl came ard to visit me once in a while. and one of them was jimi.. and once he came, he nv left.. he hung ard my room, talked to me for hours.. and when the skies went dark, he asked if i haf ever been ont he rooftop of our hostel building.. and when i told him that i have not.. he offered to bring me up and show me the beautiful view up there.. so up and up we went.. we stayed there till sunrise and the sunrise was absolutely amazing. it was the 1st time i watched sunrise and also the last time until now. the subject of our conversations weren't realli meaningful but all i kno is we only wanted to be around each other.. and it was on that rooftop that he expressed his feelings for me and me for him.. ah.. my 1st love.. the last time i went back to TW in 2001, i made sure i went back to visit the rooftop.. it felt lonely to be there alone.. and i missed him a lot.. i still do..

So there you go, the 3 most memorable moments in my life so far.. i am sure there will be more to come, but for now, i am contented with these. :)

maybe if u look back at ur memory bank, u will find memories like these too and i am sure they will brighten up ur day like it has brightened mine!

there has been a sense of contentment and fulfilment washing over me lately. every new day holds new joys for me.. even if it is simply another slow day at work, and returning home to tv dinners. i'm jus thankful and grateful that there hasn't been any unpleasant moment/happening that day. healthy thots do keep the mind positive and motivated. more recently, in trying to convert my mom into a believer of happy endings, i've turned myself into such a happy person. things are going exceptionally well for me and everyone ard me during this gloomy time. keeping my mind positive and happy has done so much good for my mental well-being. it feels almost like nothing can get me down! *flexes muscles*

perhaps, the events that are up and coming keeps me on a natural high.. as i look forward to seeing them happening.. going thru them as my personal experiences.

Learning to DRIVE!

ya so i am forced to eat my own words of nv wanting to learn driving. u see, now that *he* has a new ride, i am kind of obligated to pick up driving cuz it's not fair that *he* has to drive us ard all the time. plus i nv ever drink when we go out with frens. so it makes perfect sense for me to drive when he drinks on our nights out with frens. but now that i've set my mind to pick up driving, it's becoming v exciting for me. it's like this secret desire to drive has suddenly crept out of its closet..

i am realli looking forward to my 1st driving lesson! but for now, let's jus concentrate on passing my advanced theory 1st, ok? :p (it's on May 2!)

Beauty School - Nail Services Course

who wud haf thot.. i wud be attending beauty school? :p well.. u see, *he* is thinking of expanding his up and running business empire to manicures and pedicures and leaving me in charge of running the business for him. so if i were to be a boss-lady of a mani-pedi store, i have to know some of those myself, right? and anywaes, i think i oredi have a flair for that cuz i do my own french mani and pedi at home.. and most ppl think they're pretty professionally done. (thick-skinned, but so wat? :p) so all i gotta do now is to hone my skills and get some kind of certification for that and i am well on my way to becoming a boss lady. :) this is not happening so soon yet as *he* is still drafting the proposal for the business so it will probably happen late this year.

iCELL

anybody wants to buy/sell handphones/PSPs? yet another business of his.. *he* has recently gone into the ah beng trade of selling handphones and PSPs. well it is not exactly his own business, it is shared with one of his fren and run by another guy that they both trust. it was opened jus last friday and weeks before that, i was helping him out with the branding.. coordinating with the designer to work out the logo and signboard.. i must say *he* is very lucky to have me (thick-skinned, but so wat? :p) as i haf had prior experience to doing such things back when i was in advertising. kind of made me miss account managing for a while. :p

My parents' divorce is finalized finally!

and because everything is finally settled, we can now plan for our family's (or rather wat remains of our family) new crib. easy as it sounds, there are so many things to do! going to HDB to apply for loan for my mom, going to the lawyers to get the sale of my parents' matrimonial home settled, looking out for suitable housing plans for my mom.. it realli is no joke. i've taken almost a whole week's worth of leave to run such errands with my mom. it realli sucks cuz all these places operate the same office hours as i do and so it makes it impossible to do it after work or during the weekends. thank goodness my boss is totally understanding abt it and he has not made a single noise abt me taking so much leave. well, at least not yet. :p

his work is my work!

*he* has alwaes had problems with drafting formal letters and the thing is his day job as a financial planner requires him to send letters to his clients ALL THE TIME. so once in a while, i go up to his office and draft all sorts of letters for him. and for the past weekend, we were holed up in his office, busy drafting letters that he needs to send out to clients.

So u see, i realli do haf a lot to do for the past weeks. it has kept me very busy and made me feel very productive too.

jus when i am starting to feel a bit useless at work, i realise there are many other things i am capable of outside of my boring, mundane, administrative job. (but i am realli thankful that i haf such a good boss!)

in conclusion, i wud like to say that love is indeed all around and it is up to u whether or not u want to see it. it is not hard to be happy and all it takes is for one person to spread the joy and the whole place will catch on like a fire.

so why dun u be that one person today? :)

i saw jonathan leong at bedok 85 on monday night!

ok it's not like i have not seen him in person before.. this is my 2nd time seeing him in person BUT this was different cuz it felt like as tho we sat at a table tgt (he was seated with like 8 of his frens, directly beside me at the next table, damn close to me!), chatting tgt (the tables were so close tgt, i could hear all of their conversations! to be specific, it was more like i was eavesdropping la.. haah!) and eating tgt (so close to him that i cud almost hear him chomping away! almost!).

omg, i haven't said the crucial 4 words yet. HE IS SO CUTE. OMG OMG OMG. i realli cannot take my eyes off him even tho *he* was right next to me! thankfully, *he* oredi knew of my admiration for jonathan leong back in the Singapore Idol days so he tried his best to ignore my smitten smile as much as he cud. (i cud see he was SLIGHTLY irritated. just SLIGHTLY.) :p

so anywaes, he was in a white tee-shirt and board shorts.. carrying quite a big bag and with pool/billiard cues.. he half-tied his hair and looked so much like a japanese!! he is so fair he almost reflected the neon-light right off his skin!! i cannot explain how dreamy and prince-like he looked but when i heard the voice coming out of his mouth.. oh.. my.. god.. SEXY. his low, deep voice is such a trademark. i dun think i can ever haf a fren like him. i will not be able to stop drooling. in front of him. HAHAH.

so ya, i actually jus wanted to say HE IS SO CUTE but ended up with a whole blog post abt him. HAHAHA. sorry la, i love to talk. :p

if jonathan leong ever sees this, i.. er.. lub u. (forces a natural smile.) :p

feeling very very blue today. nothing to do with work, nothing to do with *him* and everything to do with my family. but i can't talk abt it.. :(

like *he* said yday.. i, too, hate things that have no solutions.. and are out of my control.. :(

*Posted at 10.34am this morning

Post-note: I felt better immediately after lunch.. sometimes when u take your thots off your troubles for a second and stare out your window at the lush scenary.. u feel like the problem has shrunk itself significantly when u go back to it later.

life is realli not that complicated sometimes.. :)

this is the 100th post of my blog! happy 100th post, blog! :p

wat a way to mark the 100th post of my blog.. i am gg to tell u wat a fool i've been this morning.

so as usual, i woke up this morning, dragged myself to the bathroom, took my 20 minute shower, picked out my friday best from my wardrobe and went on to put on my make-up, blow-dry my hair, matched my accessories and shoes and packed my bag making sure i did not forget anything. it was 9am by then. yes i was late but boss was not in and i normally can get to work in 40 minutes and ppl in my office normally only start strolling in at 9.30am. so in this case, i wud technically only be 10 minutes late. :p (i love my twisted analogies!)

so anywaes, with all those random thots in my mind, mostly abt my gold slippers that i have brought along with me to work to change into after work and grabbing my white heels from my shoe basket beside the door to wear in the office and reaching for the black shoe bag to put my slippers in and a mental note to remember my keys, i grabbed the door handle and opened my room door, locked it from behind and slammed the door shut.

the door went "BOM"!

sorry, did i lose u in my trail of thots? well, u r not alone, i got lost in my own thots too.

so much so that when the door went "BOM", i quickly remembered that i had forgotten to grab my keys.

but that's ok, cuz being the blessed person i am, i have just placed a set of spare keys at theresa's place a few days ago! so off i go to work, and will grab the spare set before i come home tonight. so i walked to the main door quickly, as i was oredi late. opened the wooden door and..

DAMN!

the lock on my gate required keys to open them and my key was in the room with the rest of the bunch!

so much for being blessed.

i dug into my bag for my phone (and at that moment, thanking the heavens that i had not also left my phone in the room behind the locked door!) and quickly dialled theresa's number.

she said there was no one home to rescue me out of my castle (she stays one block away).

so, i am dead. stuck between the main gate and my room door. WAT THE HELL!

think, brain, think! how how how?? pick the lock?? look for spare keys? call landlord and ask them where they've placed it??? but they've locked their room too! and i can't ask them to rush back from their work so i can get to mine!!! and wat if i can get someone to get the spare keys from theresa's place and come rescue me?? if i called landlord to ask for spare keys in the house, they'd oredi know i am being locked in and if someone came to rescue me, i'd be gone when they return home after work today and they'd find out i had their keys duplicated! (which i am not supposed to!)

these were the exact thots that were racing thru my mind in my desperation and i was realli abt to cry. it was 9.30am at that point.

i called *him* and he suggested i call the landlord. BUT I CUDN'T. and i was a bit pissed that he cud not help me. but realli, it was my own frustration.. it wasn't realli his fault.

right after i hung up with him, i got a message from theresa:
"my brother will be home in an hour."

THANK GOD! i'm going to be very late for work but at least i kno help is on the way!! and that i won't have to alert my landlord!

i called my colleague to tell her wat's happened and tt i am gg to be late. then i turned on the tv and watched The Ellen Degeneres Show. It was good. One hour went passed quite quickly. and true enough exactly one hour later, theresa's brother showed up at my gate and rescued me from my castle!!

*he* then came to pick me up and sent me to office.

SUCH A DRAMA-MAMA MORNING! somehow i fault my golden slippers for this whole slip-up. they distracted me from grabbing my keys!

i doubt i will ever forget my keys again.. ever.

oh ya, i reached office at 11.30am. how ar, like that must take half day not???? :(

for the 1st time in 6 years.. i went jogging yday! and quite amazingly.. i dun feel as much muscle ache as i had expected.. probably cuz i had been conscious abt not over-working my body since the last time i properly exercised was 6 years ago! so very obediently, i did my warm-up.. and started off slow.. theresa and i jogged tgt around the bishan estate.. past RI, past J8, past ITE, past KCPSS.. we ran for abt 45 minutes and spent the last 15 minutes walking home at a leisurely pace as the cool-down routine.

when we got back, we made sandwiches and salad (theresa's salad was YUMMY!) for dinner.. i haven't felt so healthy in ages! as is the purpose of starting my new exercise regime.. i have been feeling very unhealthy lately.. i can feel heart palpitations (i had heart murmur as a kid) more frequently these days and have put on some weight after CNY. so i have decided to jog at least twice a week to keep fit, and my heart healthy.

when i got home after dinner, i took a hot shower and headed straight for bed. ooohh... nothing compares to my cozy, fuzzy bed!

am scheduled for my 2nd jog this friday.. i hope my legs will not disappoint me!!

my baby's got a new baby! the ROARING, SLEEK and very HANDSOME Mazda 6 is now his new ride! i am probably 2nd to it in his heart now and considering we're not married yet, i am the 小老婆! tsk!

we will be collecting the car tmr and i have even taken the PM off to accompany him to this historic event. HAHA. but seriously, i think this realli means a lot to him as he has finally joined his frens in the i-have-a-car club. not that he cud not afford it before, just that he had wanted to save a considerable amount before splurging on a car so that when he eventually did splurge on it, he would still be able to maintain his current lifestyle. wat a smart guy, if u ask me! :p

we are so gonna miss 小马, the faithful Phantom bike that had taken us to all our dates and dinners and movies for the past 4 years.. (yes, we named it 小马 for its incredible horsepower!) but to commemorate 小马's faithfulness, we are going to buy the same number plate for the new Mazda as 小马 had used. :) i seriously am going to miss the wind blowing on my face even tho it tangles my hair like crazy.

Maybe we will name the new Mazda 大马 then. :p

i feel so sorry for my fren.. her parents got divorced and while waiting for the matrimonial home to be sold, they are stranded with no roof over the 4/5 of a family left. her father is still staying in the matrimonial home while his wife, 2 daughters and 1 son left him for greener pastures.. or so they thot. within the 1st 3 years of leaving their home, they moved 3 times from the older daughter's colleague's place to a rented flat in the north east and another rented place in the same vicnity when the previous lease was due. after that, they found the living expenses too taxing, surviving on only the 2 daughter's salary and a meagre sum from their mom's part time work. hence, they moved in to live with the older daughter's then-bf-now-fiance. my fren, the 2nd daughter then moved in with her bf. half a year later, under forced circumstances, her sister and her now-fiance moved from a rented flat to a rented room.. and my fren also moved out from her bf's plc and into a fren's place who had been so kind to her during her stay there. but 3 months later, she moved out as her fren's dad didn't seem too pleased that she was going to stay there in his house for an indefinite period of time. after that, she rented a tiny room up in the north while her mom and brother then went to stay with an uncle after the sisters were no more renting a whole flat for the 4 of them. a month later, her mom and brother were chased out of her uncle's flat as, according to her mom, both sides cud not stand each's living habits. under a heated argument, they were forced to move out the very same night. another uncle took them in that night. but 3 months later, the same thing happened. this time, her mom and bro had no where to go unless they split up. her mom was very upset cuz she had nv been away from her youngest child before.. even tho he is oredi 20 this year. worse, they had to give their dog away.. the dog that had kept them company for the past 6 years.. the dog that always made them happy no matter wat happened. so they gave their dog away to her sister's ex-colleague, her brother moved in with yet another uncle, who only space for one. and her mom went to stay with a fren.

all this because her horrible father refuses to sell the flat in order to make things difficult for his wife and children.. for leaving him.

even tho everyone has a place to stay now.. my fren is very sad.. cuz everyone is split up.. her mom is missing their dog and her brother.. her brother is alone with a relative they weren't close to.. and there was nothing the sisters cud do to make things better cuz their father were holding the keys to the current bad state.

most of all, my fren misses her dog cuz she knows he's afraid when he is ard strangers.. his new owner has 2 other dogs and her dog does not know how to get along with other dogs so he tends to hide away when other dogs are ard.. she misses her dog so much.. :((((((((((

my fren is realli very sad.. but she doesn't want to talk to anyone abt it.. cuz she must stay strong.. for things will get better.. she knows it will..

i had no intentions to write abt this since the 1st day the news broke out.. cuz i haf a very neutral stand on this matter and i dun realli think anyone is at fault.. it is a pure act of carelessness.. and a very malicious act of sabotage.. and that's all there is to it for me.

over the past month, the Edison scandal has been all over the place.. TV, radio, magazines, internet.. it is realli difficult to ignore. for some, it is purely for the porn, for others, it is the gossip monster in them that wants to kno more more more.. but the truth of the matter is.. it is indeed very scandalous.. and very very shocking to the HK entertainment industry.

now that it has come to Edison having to quit showbiz.. i am realli feeling a lot of rage and sadness. u can say i am defending my idol, but i believe if it had been someone else, i wud think the same way too.

we, the people that celebrities spend their lifetime entertaining.. tend to view celebrities as somewhat non-human. like they are deities, like they dun need to eat, dun need to sleep, dun need to shit. all they do is appear on tv and look gorgeous.. wake up looking like sexbombs, and move their bowels in a special, different way.. but not OUR way, sitting at the toilet bowl mmph-ing and urgh-ing. CELEBRITIES ARE HUMANS TOO. they have their needs, their wants.. like any other normal human being. most of these celebrities are not allowed to date and it is often stated in their contracts. so wat do they do with their needs then?? they hook up with ppl simply for convenience.. and who better to keep their secrets than fellow celebrities? if u did a certain celebrity, r u sure (100%) that u wud not get out there and tell someone?? or even write in a blog?? if i were in their shoes, i wud think tt the best people to keep secrets are those who are in the same situation as me and understand why it needs to be kept a secret.. (not jus from the public but from their managers and agencies too) and hence wud stick to my circle of celebrity frens for human needs (since celebrities are not allowed to haf a bf, who can they turn to?? dun tell me they can jolly well live without a sex partner, cuz that everyone is different and u can't assume everyone wud think and do the same!) even in our own circle of frens we have fens who haf f*ck-buddies, right?? it is their life and they choose to live it this way so who are we to say they are wrong if it makes them happy? guess the only difference between us and celebrites is that they have a social responsibility.. which is why they alwaes try to potray their best when they are "working".

in this case, the photos had been stolen and distributed illegally.. issit realli Edison's fault????

all those ppl who said gillian is a liar, sl*t and a wh*re and all that.. wat makes u say that? having sex makes ppl liars, sl*ts and wh*res??? if u r having a sex life with ur bf, u dun go out and tell the whole world, do u?? i think ppl gotta know the difference between her personal life and her job.. her job requires her image to be media and children friendly and that doesn't mean she has to be the same person she is in her personal life. jus like no matter how much u hate ur boss, u wud nv lash out at them, right?? but with ur friends, u wud complain and bad-mouth ur boss.. why can't ppl jus accept that celebrities are humans too??? being in front of the camera is their work and when they are off camera, they should be entitled to have a private life! and gillian had to come out and apologise for wat?? for being with someone she felt passionately abt??? it is insane.

and as for Edison, the only thing i can blame him for is being so trusting and careless and foolish to pass something so personal such as a laptop to another person. since he took such photos then he is committed to guard them with his life! and all the more since his "frens" in the photos are famous personalities.. i sincerely feel sorry for the girls and hope that the media will give them space and be understanding. they are not liars, sl*ts or wh*res.. they are jus being human.

i can understand why Edison made such a decision cuz if he doesn't leave showbiz, this saga will nv be over.. it is a closure for the HK entertainment scene and the public. i jus wish it cud haf been a different way.. not with Edison having to go.

i like him for his good looks, i like him for his determination to be who he is.. and not b daunted by ill comments made abt him all the time.. i like him for daring to chase dreams.. i like him for willing to learn things that will make him a better person professionally..

i like him so much that he is a part of my life that brings back many many memories..

the best thing i like abt him now is him being responsible to this whole matter and that i understand that such things take time to muster courage to do (admit being wrong to the whole world) bearing in mind that he had also been a victim.. something so personal stolen and unwillingly being labelled the bad guy.. he also needs time to thinka bt his next steps.. if he came out the very next day to hold a press conference, it wud haf been very insincere, dun u think?? and 3 weeks hasn't been that long.. it is just the public that is eager to see the progression of this scandal..

if i ever had a chance to see him again, i wud tell him that as long as u know how to make things better, it wud not be the end. i realli hope to see his comeback to entertainment history and when it happens, i will support him whole-heartedly.

All the best to you, Edison.. will miss seeing ur fashion spreads, ur advertisements, ur movies and ur MVs.. :(

ok i finally have time for a proper blog today.. the last entry was more like for my own record la. haha.. i thot it wud b fun to read nex year during CNY to see wat i did the year before.. tho i suspect it wud b exactly the same routine. hahahah!

so for today, i have decided to start with movie reviews! i saw 2 movies over the CNY holidays - "Jumper" and "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street".

JUMPER

as the trailer promises, it indeed is a mix of "The Matrix" and "Bourne Identity". altho it was a short film (a mere hour and 20 minutes), it was very entertaining and fast-moving, perhaps the reason why it was such a short film! :p but the show was realli abt quality, not quantity..

i cud not help but think at the end of the show that hayden christensen has a look of the "in-between". like he is both good and bad.. but not too good nor bad. like his role in Star Wars, it was like he was a good person by nature.. but was forced to do evil things due to circumstances.. and these things, which seemed right at the point of doing it (which means he still did it with a good heart).. turns out to be wrong in the end (and labels him as the bad guy.. which is kinda against his will.. wa, a bit complicated!) which is why i say he is the "in-between" guy.

his role in JUMPER was also a bit of an in-between kinda character.. he is a good guy who is perceived as doing wrong things even tho he doesn't harm anyone nor does he have the intention to.. and the look of confusion and desperation is a trademark for him.. he did it so well in Star Wars and even better in JUMPER. he still has a tinge of adolescence in his acting and it makes his desperation even more convincing.

rachel bilson's role was quite disappointing tho. she didn't get many chances to showcase her acting and most of the time she was jus eye-candy. but then again.. i believe this is her 1st movie role since the OC times so i hope she gets bigger roles down the road and earn herself some worthy credits. her raunchy scene with hayden christensen in the show was quite sexy tho. they look like a very cosmopolitan couple and with all that high-tech effect and futuristic storyline, it makes the whole movie gel beautifully.

after the show ended, the 6 of us who went to see it tgt wished we all could "jump" too! and i wonder if there realli are JUMPERS in the world.. it is super cool!!

i give JUMPER 4.5 stars out of 5. 0.5 stars lost cuz the movie was realli too short.. would have loved it to be a wee bit longer and build up a bit more on rachel's character.

SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET
like i said in my previous entry.. this show was such a joke. but taking into consideration it was adapted from a broadway musical.. i can understand why it turned out like tt for the movie..

the last show i saw that was so dark has got to be THE PRESTIGE. for those who don't rem this show, it was abt 2 magicians/illusionists who were vying for the top spot in the industry and also featured Scarlett Johansson. difference is the darkness in THE PRESTIGE was apt for the movie as the story was a dark and brooding one.. but for SWEENEY TODD.. it seems very deliberate.. like everything in the show is revolved ard making it a very dark show.. like how broadway sets are designed.. to suit a theme. and when this feel is duplicated in the movie, it makes it look very forced and unnatural..

the story is actually quite a sad one.. and i do get the drift of the show.. but somehow all the opera singing in the show killed the emotion and story-building MANY TIMES. somehow the singing felt a bit amusing and comical at times.. issit that the actresses and actors cud not deliver the right emotions in their singing?? or maybe the lyricists and composers felt this would make the movie livelier?? or maybe it is just me. but each time they start singing, i have a huge sense of dread and i want them over and done with their singing so i can get to the story. I KNOW I KNOW!! cuz the songs dun realli gel with the story.. it does not help to build up on the story.. they are singing for the sake of singing since it is supposed to be a musical! dun misunderstand me, i thoroughly enjoyed "Moulin Rouge" and "Chicago" and have re-watched both movies many times.. but Sweeney Todd simply pales in comparison.. it's like every song in Moulin Rouge and Chicago tells a story of the movie.. but in Sweeney Todd, the songs jus don't have the same effect..

could it be because of the story? Moulin Rouge and Chicago both have something to do with performing and broadway, hence singing made sense.. but Sweeney Todd is about a demon barber who kills so singing in the movie is weird??

i give Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber From Fleet Street 2.5 stars out of 5. giving it a pass cuz i see the effort taken to make the set so beautifully dark and for the surprise twist at the end.

that's all for my movie reviews today. i did my best not to divulge the story while reviewing it so u guys can't blame me for spoiling it! :)

i... am... so... tired...

my CNY break turned out to be a jam-packed visitation season cum fashion show. but it was happy happy happy. :)

1st of all, i saw his family a lot over this period and i nv thot i wud say this but his siblings realli are nice ppl. i can't say the same for his mom YET but it is working out fine so far. i believe it will turn out just fine. :)

1st Feb
I had reunion dinner with my family as my sister was leaving for HK the next day with my bro-in-law-to-be and spending CNY in HK with her in-laws-to-be. We went for a buffet dinner at The Teahouse at China Square and it was not too bad. Service could be better though.. but the price made up for it. After which we proceeded to KTV at Shenton Partyworld and stayed till 1am.. mommy, *him* and i had "market duty" the next day at 7am! (and all of us were late. haha!)

CNY EVE EVE
Reunion dinner with *his* family.. we had steamboat dinner at his place.. and it was nice and cozy. after which they proceeded to their annual "gin rummy" competition. but the gambling session ended early this year since it was a Wed and all had work the next day..

CNY EVE
Had YET another reunion dinner with my mom and bro in my sis's absence as i felt bad that they were cooped up at home on a day of reunion such as this.. so i took them to Mushroom Pot at Orchard Point, turned out they both enjoyed it tremendously and both my mom and my bro were in quite a good mood.. that made me happy too. :) sfer that we caught CJ7 at Cineleisure, which I bought tickets for 3 days in advance! all 3 of us enjoyed the show very much and even called up my sis in HK after the show to ask her to buy the 七仔公仔 back for us! 七仔 is so cute and it reminds me of winky! the "boy" in the show is very cute too.. apparently 星爷 and the "boy" has grown so close after the movie that he's taken her as his god-daughter! the lucky girl!

CNY初一
Went to *his* place to 拜年 and then to the temple with his family. after which we went to my mom's place for lunch and to 拜年 and then to his aunt's place for a 2nd round of lunch. After which we went to his dad's place to 拜年.. *phew!*

CNY初二
Went to Jos's place for our girls gathering (which is also *his* aunt's place cuz he is Jos's cousin.. we met on this day at her house 5 years ago!) and then left for another aunt's place from his dad's side..

CNY初三
Went to Agus's place to 拜年 and abt 4pm came home cuz they had a party back home. at abt 9pm *his* frens started coming and our own party started.. lasted till 2am. *he won 300 bucks that night. :)

CNY初四
Was supposed to go to one of his aunt's place again but was cancelled last minute as most of them were too tired and had work the next day. so we ended up going out iwth agus and sally.. was supposed to go KTV but sally felt sick so we went home after dinner.

CNY初五
Went to *his* office for "heng kang".. there was lion dance and lots of angpao to collect. at ard 2pm they relocated to one of their bosses' hse (Jason) and continued the gambling den business. *he* won almost 2k that day! we went home to my mom's place for dinner that day since my sis was back in town and my family went to my uncle's place after dinner and *he* went back to his boss's hse.

CNY初六
*he* had to work in the afternoon too so i went to my aunt's place to 拜年 that afternoon. as usual, we yakked away until it was time for me to go meet him at his place and we went to Jeffrey's, another one of his bosses' place in the evening.. i don't gamble so i naturally became the babysitter of the evening. sally and agus came to join later that night. the 4 of us went for supper tgt with ronald and his wife at upper serangoon before went home that night.

CNY初七
*he* also worked in the afternoon so i took the time to go visit my principal at bishan ITE to 拜年 before heading off to town to see my "bag frens" at gucci and miu miu. :) (bag frens meaning bags i cannot afford to buy so i make frens with them and visit them at their "hse" every so often. haha.) then at abt 7pm, *he*, tgt with agus and wife came to pick me from town and we headed to mr foo's hse.. (another one of his boss). we merely stayed for 10 minutes before we took off to a d&d for agus's company. he had paid for a table of ten so he asked us along.. we had 佛跳墙 and one abalone each during the dinner.. it was darn good! it was my 1st time eating 佛跳墙 so i was pretty excited. haha.

CNY初八 aka Valentine's Day
We had wanted to do dinner that day after gg to Ronald's hse btu along the way plans changed as *he* decided he'd rather stay at ronald's place. :( i was mad but didn't want to force him to do things he didn't want to do so i stayed with him but sulked thoughout. :(

CNY初九
*he* had market duty until almost 9pm that day and we had dinner at heng hwa along jalan besar (maude road to be exact - the famous white lor mee.. i love it!) at abt 10pm and met agus and wife + ronald wife for movie after that. we caught "Jumper" and we all loved it! super inspirational! (meaning it makes u wish u were a jumper too!) :p

CNY初十
Went for Elaine's baby boy's 1 yr old birthday party then dinner with his friends. went KTV after that and the room became another gambling den. out of 12 ppl, onyl 2 were singing.. one of them being me, of cuz. not that i was complaining. :p got home at 5am that day!

CNY初十一
hung out with *him* at his place for a while before heading out to orchard, then bugis, then esplande and marina square to catch Sweeney Todd. OMG... sorry to say this but the show was a joke to us.. perhaps we were both in a good mood so everything seemed funny to us.. we made fun of the show so much that when it ended, we cud not stop laughing at anything!! went for supper after that and reached home at 1am..

CNY初十二
back to work today and feeling like a zombie! need sleep so badly.. going to ah sa's place for MJ reunion dinner tonight.. hopefully i will pull thru!!

So ya.. i hope the above explains why i am super tired despite my super long CNY break..

i need another break from this break!!

嘟嘴歌王！

been attending too many weddings lately.. and hearing too many news of so and so getting hitched.. makes me wonder when my turn will be.

in my perfect world, i would have been happily married by now, and probably preparing to have my 1st bundle of joy, if not the 2nd. i love kids, i realli do. and i can't wait to have my little girl/boy. of cuz in my perfect world, i will haf 2 girls and 2 boys.. and they will be the most beautiful kids in the world. unfortunately.. i am no where near that lovely picture i've painted for myself.. instead.. i dun see any of that happening any time soon.

just last night i was on the phone with *him*.. and was utterly saddened and disappointed with wat he said. he said he wanted to do better and bigger at his job.. wants to open one more shop, wants to deal with another trade..

so my question is - where do i fit in?

as it is now, he has absolutely no time for me. and he keeps telling me SOON he will have time for me, SOON.. SOON.. SOON.. how soon??? and if he realli starts embarking into his business plans and expansion, i can foresee the amt of time he will have left for me.

not to mention a wedding. none. ling. zilch. :(

come on, it's been 5 years.. i need a promotion!!! and as a conservative and traditional girl, i would nv open my mouth to pop the question. in other words, i would nv kno wat is running thru his mind. cuz i refuse to ask. and hence, i will suffer in silence. be upset. be unhappy. ya.

你 眼 睛 会 笑 弯 成 一 条 桥
终 点 却 是 我 永 远 到 不 了
感 觉 你 来 到 是 风 的 呼 啸
思 念 像 苦 药 竟 如 此 难 熬
每 分 每 秒

我 找 不 到 我 到 不 了
你 所 谓 的 将 来 的 美 好
我 什 麽 都 不 要 知 不 知 道
若 你 懂 我 这 一 秒
我 想 看 到 我 在 寻 找
那 所 谓 的 爱 情 的 美 好
我 紧 紧 的 依 靠 紧 谨 守 牢
不 敢 漏 掉 一 丝 一 毫
愿 你 看 到

昨天在YOUTUBE看了我爱棒棒堂 - 星光帮当来宾的那集。感觉棒棒堂底迪们跟星光帮成员们有些些的火药味。。 而我不了解的是为什么星光帮在那节目上有一点不屑的感觉。。 难道他们对自己的小成就感到骄傲吗？我可是超不喜欢这样的星光帮呢。

不过我爱的宥嘉却没有给我这样的感觉！到他表演时，他是很诚恳地想要跟底迪们交朋友的！不过看得出他也不太放得开。。 不过诚恳的心看得到啦。

那个小美最糟。。根本是狗眼看人低嘛。底迪在跟他合唱时，他根本是一幅骄傲的脸！像底迪不配跟他合唱似的。。讨厌他的勒！

而且平时搞笑的许仁杰也变得很做作。。 我不喜欢啦。

总结来说，我觉得宥嘉和定伟是最“真”的。。 一点都不做作。。 而且能感觉到他们想和底迪们交朋友的真心。:)

帮帮堂就不用说啦。。在他们自己的地盘嘞。。 超放的开的！他们纯真，真实的自己很惹人疼嘞！

而且我最喜欢的棒棒堂底迪跟我最爱的星光帮成员有喜欢对方哦！ 小煜在节目上有说他很欣赏宥嘉的歌路，我也是耶！:)))

其实在看节目时，我也一直不能平衡我的心态。到底要站在谁那边啊。。 棒棒堂或星光帮？？ 严格来说，我喜欢看所有底迪们的表演。。“我爱棒棒堂”是个超赞的节目。。 不过我并不喜欢看所有星光帮的表演耶。。我只爱宥嘉而已。。 而且看完了那集时，我发现我更讨厌一些星光帮成员了。。

而我现在更爱宥嘉了啦。。他真的是天生吃这行饭的！

我在昨天终于买了“爱*星光精选-昨天今天明天”。 “你是我的眼”is on repeat mode. :)

i haf committed a sin!!! a shopping sin!! too much shopping!! 5 new sets of clothes for CNY has turned into 10!! OMFG!!!!

how ar? realli cannot stop shopping leh.. and during this time i shud realli NOT tempt myself anymore BUT i dunno y, yday i went to Tony's shop at Bugis Street, jolly well knowing the kind of stuff in his shop will arouse the shopping monster in me.. and under much control.. i bought one dress. *phew*

BUT!!! before i went to his shop, i waited for 3sa to come meet me at bugis junction and i went crazy with accessory-shopping!! i bought one butterfly necklace from Chomel and 2 dangly chains from Dorothy Perkins - they were having sale!! i am a horrible sinner..

and actually hor.. the reason 3sa and i met in bugis was cuz we wanted to go HAJI LANE. so i thot, since i am in bugis, might as well pay Tony a visit. AND THUS RESULTED IN MY MINI SHOPPING SPREE, prior to HAJI LANE!

and when i was at haji lane, i walked into the shop called MONO (i think). and at 1st glance, i fell in love with the dress hanging beside the front door.. and so i tried it.. and OMG.. it was so so so pretty... i cud not NOT get it!!! and that, was my 11th set of clothes for CNY.

and.. er.. my aim of gg to haji lane that day.. was to buy a black bag!!

so in the process of buying ONLY a black bag, i bought:
2 dresses
3 chains
1 necklace

SINFUL or NOT, u tell me!!!! :(

i need therapy!

Rest in peace, Heath.. I hope you find peace wherever you are and your fans will never forget your contributions to film and entertainment..

You will alwaes be my favourite knight.

a certain ms teo has asked for a follow up to one of my previous posts.. (touched!) firstly i must apologise for not writing abt this earlier cuz it is jus as impt to me as it is to *him* and his family. but i had been too deeply poisoned by 宥嘉 the past week to sit down and realli write abt wat happened.. *paiseh* and so here it is!!

so i mentioned in my past entry that i had been invited to *his* plc for dinner.. but the family is so busy that they haven't been able to set a date for which everyone can make it. and like i said previously.. i dun feel that i owe his entire family an explanation for our being back together. and also, i was realli freaking out abt this dinner invitation.. going to his plc for dinner with his family is such an intimidating thought.. i dunno how to behave at the dinner table.. cuz i dunno how i am being perceived at that very moment.. it wud b so damn bloody awkward.. and so i suggested meeting up with his mom prior to the dinner, just the 2 of us. after all.. i feel that she's the only person i realli haf to answer anything to.

making the call was harder than i thought. i dialled the number so many times only to hang up before the 1st ring. and when the ringtone finally came through, i wished it wud ring forever.. but of cuz it didn't.

me - "hello, hi auntie."
she - "hello? oh, kelly! i recognise ur voice!"
me - "ya it's kelly here.. how are you?"
she - "i'm ok! you?"
me - "i'm fine too. auntie, are you free today or tomorrow? i was thinking of bringing you out for dinner or coffee or something.."
she - "yes yes i'm free later today.. but i am out marketing now so i will give you a call back when i am done, ok?"
me - "ok, sure. i will wait for your call then. bye."
she - "ok, bye!"

after i hung up, i felt heaps better. cuz i cud hear from her voice that she had been happy to hear from me. she had no idea i was going to call her before that so i know her reaction was a genuine one..

a few hours later she called me back and we arranged a time and place and met up later that day. it was so nerve-wrecking sitting there and waiting for her to turn up. and when she did.. i tried to smile as naturally as i can.

me - "auntie."
she - "kelly.. how are you?"
me - "ok la.."

after that we went on to talk abt some 有的没的.. i tried to broach the topic but i jus cudn't.. i didn't kno how to start. and she finally asked me, "你几时要来我家吃饭?"

and i replied her, "你没有请我，我哪里敢去?" and i realli meant that when i said it.. after all, she was the one who banned me from her plc.. i cudn't possibly show up without an invitation, right?

her reply to my answer was realli very heartwarming, i actually cried.

she - "你几时都可以来啊，我们是一家人嘛，随时都welcome你。"

and she said that holding both my hands. and when she saw that i was crying, she continued, "我们不要吵架了啦.我们开开心心的过年，ok?"

after that, i calmed myself down and said my piece.

me - "i kno u might not blame me for wat happened, but i still want to make some things clear cuz i feel that i owe u an explanation for my past behaviour. i think that there are many misunderstandings between us. maybe we misinterpreted each other's intentions.. but at the end of the day, it is necessary and impt that we haf a relationship with each other, even when *he* is not ard.. none of us has done anything wrong.. jus that we are different. i hope u can accept our differences and i can assure u that if we both put in some effort, we can achieve the relationship that we want and that *he* will be happy."

i had a long talk with *him* prior to meeting his mom.. and we figured this was the only way i wud be able to have a real relationship with his mom. not that i didn't mean wat i said, cuz i meant every word. the difference this time is that i made the 1st step to being sincere and truthful and i hope in time to come, she wud do the same.. and not do wat she did to me previously. the last thing i want is to put him in a spot and if i haf to give in to his mom 1st, then i will. after all, it is not like i did nothing wrong to begin with. i had, at times, behaved like a princess when i stayed with them and that.. is not right. so i apologize for the things i haf done wrong.. maybe soon enough, his mom will realise wat she did wrong too.

and so that was it. even if i go for dinner at *his* plc now, i wun feel intimidated cuz i haf spoken my piece and she knows wat is gg thru my mind. i will not be afraid to smile and haf fun at dinner.

wat good issit to make an enemy instead of a fren, right? maybe this experience will help me to grow up, make me a more patient and understanding person.. i dunno.. but i kno one thing for sure.. if i keep on doing the right things, nothing will go wrong. and so, i will do jus that.

ms teo, this update detailed enuff for u? :p

林宥嘉精选！

我爱的人

i like the way he says "不要拿出你的实力" twice to make his point. SO CUTE!!

那些日子

this song has such a serene and sweet effect on me.. he looks so happy when singing it!

到不了

宥嘉和康康的合唱。。有一点搞笑成分啦，不过我有小小被感动哦。。

你把我灌醉

i love the music arrangement for this number.. this performance 很有感染力！Yoga is at his best on this one! the make-my-hair-stand kind of performance... damn power!

Last Order

his most sexy performance!!!! i like the way he sings lazily YET so in control of his voice.. *drools* (i am no pervert ok.) :p the cantonese version also by eason is called "New Order".

你是我的眼

this performance is full of emotion.. the lyrics made tears well up in my eyes.. his powerful voice is perfect for this song.

我的宥嘉毒瘾还没过耶。。 it's like i can't get enough of him!!!

宥嘉， 加油！:)
