juz finished watching memoirs of a geisha
not bad..
the cinematography..n the acting is qt credible
for once i'm gg to agre wif the newspapers abt sth..
abt gong li's acting
it's good..
if she had had more scenes i think i'll start to detest her.
i would describe her character hatsumomo as a poisonous viper..
the ger who acted as little zhang ziyi is so pretty
her name is suzuka ohgo
she really looks like zhang ziyi
haha
but i feel that there will always be some instances when words can evoke some images or feelings in u tt a pix can't replicate..
i think this is the case with memoirs..
i think the impact of the book is greater
but all in all it's a good film...
den my impression of michelle yeoh is tt she's always in some kung fu or action flick
but this show has made me change my opinion of her
she looks really pretty in this show..
happy new year to all again!
today is the day for rotting at home
wahaha
on the first day of CNY
my mum woke us up at like 9+ when we only went to slp at 2+ the night b4
she say if we dun go down early the aunties will be gg for dinner
n she's not gg for the dinner
dots..
as if they gg for the dinner in the afternoon like tt..
den in the end we went to my grandfather's place at like 1+
n all my aunties were not there...
they all only came at like 4+..
n in the end we went wif them for the dinner...
but my mum being a vegetarian for the day..
she could eat any of the things tt we ate..
coz all got meat..
wad worser day to be a vegetarian than on the the first day of CNY..
haha
as we were too free in the afternoon
me my bro n my cuz
we decided to plan our after dinner activites
which was to go for a midnight show..
after much dilly dallying n indecisiveness..
we decided to go watch I not stupid too
n we managed to get 3 aunties n their families to join us
wahaha
best part is i din haf to pay for the movie!
haha
the show is not bad la
i think teenagers will be more likely to identify wif this show than the previous one...
i cried like mad lor..
den my bro was so irritated coz he was sitting beside me..
den i think my other cuz sitting beside me muz be wondering wad's wrong wif jie jie
cry until like tt..
but as typical of jack neo's shows
it's also qt funny at the same time
the way they try to use the teens lingo..
haha
den after the show
which was like a 2+ in the morning...
we went to eat prata at thomson
haha
so by the time we went back to my grandfather's hse
it was like 4+...
haha
den yesterday
went to visit my great grandmother..
she damn cute leh..
i was sitting beside my bro
den she ask my bro
where is ur sis...
den eveybody pointed to me..
after tt act we wanted to go watch fearless
the 1135 show at balestier
but we spent like 1/2 an hr contemplating where my another uncle went
coz we would be stranded w/o his car
n also coz he nv bring his hp
when we finally able to leave
we sent my mum home coz she din wan to watch the midnight show
den after tt we went cwp to see if they any seats left

happy CNY!Tiger in the Year of Dog 2006
Constellations (Stars)
Bai Hu(白虎) Tian Xiong(天雄) Di Sha(地杀).
Guards against damages, bodily operations and traffic accidents.
Disposition
The Tiger is stubborn but he possesses courage and is not submissive. They like stimulating challenges and they have strong fighting spirit. They are gentle on the exterior but tough in the inside. Handles matters seriously and they set high expectations for themselves. Very often, they use the attack strategy rather than defend which results in disappointments. Although their interest in money is not obvious but they know how make use of opportunity to increase their income. In the early years, the Tiger has already aspires to do business. Their management attitude is quite strong. When he is friendly, he gets bullied and taken advantage of.
The Tiger’s mind is always advancing boldly and that is why they may become military leaders or big business entrepreneurs. It may be due to their persistence that led them to road of the success. Business partnership is not advisable for the Tiger as there will be disputes that results parting on bad terms. In love aspect, they are filled with rich sentiments. Their over sensitive and rash attitudes always put them in trouble. They are impulsive and tend to speak without due consideration often results in bad outcomes.
Marriage
The Tiger and the Horse is an ideal match as the Horse is honest and reliable. The Horse is able to win the Tiger’s affection. Do not marry a Snake as the intelligent Snake will never understand the Tiger’s style of handling matters. The Tiger with the Monkey match is not ideal as the Tiger fears the sly Monkey. The Tiger and the Pig match is average as the Pig has the spirit of being able to withstand hardships and tolerance. It enables the Tiger to respect and accept the Pig.
Luck
Tiger’s luck is not favorable this year. There is a presence of bad constellation. All business plans will be slowed down. With the assistance of business partners born in the year of Horse, Dog and Pig, it is able to eliminate danger for the Tiger. Human relationship is also a big headache. It is unfavorable in Summer season. You can hope for better luck in Winter season. This is the year where White Tiger constellation appears, one must pay extra attention as disasters of bloodshed will happen. With the Unicorn Amulet or having a pregnant woman at home, it is able to ward off the ill effects.
CareerThere will be obstacles to career advancement for the Tiger. For those who want to invest in a business will feel that he/she has the ability but lack of strength. It is best to make plans in Summer and Autumn season. The most feasible time to execute the plan will be in Winter season.
Fortune LuckThe Tiger will suffer unexpected financial losses and accidents. Do not take risk in investments or visit gambling establishments. There is a possibility to fall into financial crisis in Summer and Autumn season. With careful finance management, one may meet the benefactor in Winter season which will in turn help the Tiger tide through difficulties. Do not act as a guarantor for anyone as this may lead you to incur monetary losses.
Health
There are bad constellations this year, threateningly leads the Tiger to be prone to bloodshed incidents. Pay attention to diet to avoid being sick. Do not drive after liquor consumption as there is a likelihood of traffic aFor those who are involved in high risk career, be extra cautious when executing jobs. Be more cautious in Summer season.
Romance
This year, the Tiger has a lucky constellation in love life. It attracts more choices for him/her. You will be able to find your ideal partner through participation in social events. Marriage may take place this year. The Peach Blossom constellation appears in lunar calendar February. Do not let the golden opportunity slip away.
Academic
The Tiger student will not excel in studies this year. To break through, one must study diligently. If you encounter problems with schoolwork, do not hesitate to consult your parents, teacher and classmates. During school vacation, one must revise and refrain from going out to play.

MEMEwas tagged by yi fen to do this meme (wad is a meme btw?)
yup here goes..
Below are the Rules:
Rule 1: List 5 weird or random things about yourself
Rule 2: 5 people whom i want to do the quiz
Rule 3: Next, leave a comment "you are tagged" on their blog and ask them to read your blog for rules.
1. I don't open up/warm up to people easily. It takes me a long while to be able to be able to talk comfortably with and to open up to people I know.With people whom I don't click with,no matter how long I've known you, I won't even be comfy enough to crap with you.Also, I'm not the kind of person who will take initiative, whether in arranging for meetings or otherwise..haha
2. I hate being woken up by a message or a phone call in the middle of the night because I'm a light sleeper and it takes me quite long to fall into deep sleep. Any emergencies/anything urgent/if you need someone to talk to, you can always reach me on my house phone,you can be sure I'll pick up the phone. An issue about the project at 3am in the morning does not constitute an emergency. Thank You.
3. I'm a TV fanatic. I can entertain myself with the few free-to-air channels that we have in S'pore.If my family applies for SCV, you won't be able to pull me away from the TV.haha
4. I'm terribly in fact deathly afraid of anything supernatural-whether real or fictional because I have an overactive imagination. Meaning ghosts-doesn't matter Chinese,Indian,Malay or English or any race, books or movies or shows with supernatural themes.So thank you no horror movies please.haha
5. I don't like the shape of my eyes.They are too droopy for my liking.In fact, they look like 'cockles' according to my mum.Plus i have very dark eye circles around my eyes, so i look literally like a panda..
ok i'm gg to tag maureen, berenice,geraldine,jie ying and serene
