This was funneh. :D

And this was what I got:

How can I not post this here?! This song is repeating in my browser every freaking day. :D

Oh yes, definitely.

I’m addicted to watching movies alone at theatres.  :D

I caught Black Swan on first day of CNY alone, then The Green Hornet on third day of CNY, alone as well, and today I caught The King’s Speech, alone too.  All three times at Plaza Singapura.  LOL.  They have those single-person seat-row in most of their halls, so it’s really cool to be sitting there alone without worrying about latecomers going “excuse me, excuse me” and stepping on your toes while they tried to toe their way past you to their seats.

Black Swan was brilliant.  The plot kinda kept you guessing on who’s actually doing this and that (although one would be half-guessing the end already, especially if you have watched the trailer and read the synopsis), and there were a few scenes in the movie that made me jumped.  Psychological thriller – that’s how most have classified it to be.  The end was kinda heart-wrenching though, after you pieced everything together.  Natalie Portman really, really held it in together in her and delivered through and through in this film.  I only remembered her in that Star Wars movie (sorry, I didn’t watch that many movies in the past), and I don’t have much of an impression of her back then even though I remembered the name.  But yeah, she definitely showed her awesome acting chops in Black Swan.  Brilliant.

The Green Hornet was more like a … filler movie, for me.  I need to spend the rest of the credits in that HSBC GV card that I have because it’ll expire by end of this month.  So yeah, I went to catch The Green Hornet, and to be honest, I was pleasantly surprised by how entertaining the movie was.  XD  I mean, just leave your brains at home and go to the theatres to catch it.  And I’m pretty proud that Jay Chou was given quite a meaty role, having almost as much screentime as the lead actor.  Even though Jay’s English suck like hell (I couldn’t catch what he’s saying most of the times – thank goodness for subtitles), he was pretty convincing as The Green Hornet’s sidekick.  I wonder why Hollywood seems to love to cast Chinese actors/actresses as martial arts expert.  Being stereotyped about Chinese Shaolin or something >_>?  Well anyway, I had some good laughs in the cinema, so I guess it’s still good.  :P

The King’s Speech.  Oh man, just like Natalie Portman in Black Swan, Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush totally blew me away with their solid acting skills.  Both guys have this charismatic screen presence (okay, Geoffrey Rush more, actually), and even though The King’s Speech is not a movie that sets you thinking, I was still totally drawn into the movie.  There were some scenes where it was supposed to be boring – like the two actors sat there and drank some whisky (or whatever alcohol thing) and talked about their lives and stuff – but I just can’t bring myself to be distracted by anything else.  There’s just something about these two actors that made you wanna sit through and listen to their stories, listen to what they have to say, watch their facial expressions, and you really feel it.  You really feel what they are trying to say.  And they were so darn convincing in their roles.  My bladder nearly burst at the end of the movie, and that says a lot about it because I almost always go to loo in the middle of a movie.  I’ll just find some boring scene in between and slip to the ladies, but no, not for The King’s Speech.  I just can’t bring myself to stand up and go to the loo, because I know I’ll definitely miss something.  Predictable plot and ending, of course, but it still left me a little teary-eyed, with a little upturned smile on my face.  It was so heart-warming.  Definitely one of the best non-action/non-thriller films I’ve ever caught.

You know, movies like Black Swan and The King’s Speech are something that I wouldn’t have caught in the past.  Maybe because I’d think it’s too boring for me, nothing interesting, yada yada, you know.  And The Green Hornet will definitely be one of the blacklisted movies on Reko’s list (if it was in the past) as well.  So I won’t be able to catch it either, if he’s still here.  But you know what?  I’m glad I’ve caught all three movies this time.  I think I’m slowly getting my liking for movies back.  Maybe I should buy more of that GV card so that I will force myself to watch more movies (and hopefully, I’ll actually like them – like these three times – after forcing myself to go for them), in order to broaden the genre of movies that I watch.

All right, some movies to catch next… let’s see.  The Mechanic seems good for an action movie (I only took notice of Jason Statham in The Expendables, damn!); I’ll force myself to watch True Grit (not only because it has Matt Damon… but he’s one of the reasons :x); The Adjustment Bureau (Matt Damon again! <3  and it’s almost like Bourne… in a way); I Am Number Four (I don’t like the romance part of it, but the theme seems slightly dark enough to pique my interest); Unknown seems interesting too.

Oh yeah, besides going for movies alone, I think I’m addicted to singing KTV too.  D:  This is crazy, but I’ve been going KTV every week since last year’s Christmas Eve (save for the weekend when I was in Finland in January).  And my urge to sing doesn’t seem to be stopping, at least not anytime soon.  XD  Maybe it was all the pent up desire to sing but not doing it as much as I had wanted to for the past few years. :x

Onwards to other stuff.

This weekend was jam-packed.  I just had to squeeze in some time for my karaoke practice, so I went darn early to PartyWorld KTV at NEX, because I had planned to drop by my sis’ place after that to see if she needed any extra pair of hands to help with the kids as we had planned to celebrate Dylan’s birthday at the Airport.  But halfway through my KTV session, Kelvin messaged to tell me that my sis was having a sudden high fever, and the celebration had to be called off.  So after informing my parents about it, I dropped by my sis place to check on how she’s doing and stuff, before heading back home.  And today – well there was The King’s Speech in the morning, and I went to Ka Wai’s place for a small CNY gathering.  Too bad Fong wasn’t able to make it.  =(

Next weekend will be packed too.  I’m meeting a couple of friends (lovely people whom I met from EDMW :D) next Sat for another KTV session and probably a late movie session as well, and then there’s the postponed birthday celebration for Dylan on Sunday.  Busy busy busy! But… being busy’s good.  :)  Keeps the mind off stuff… >.<  Well, at least I think I’m starting my Year of Rabbit in the right way.  Are you?  ;)

The Year of Rabbit will be here in about 15 minutes time.

Lunar New Year hardly brought about any changes for me in the past, but I’m wishing this time it will. I’m desperately in need of some changes.

I need to shake off unnecessary/unhealthy relationship habits; I need to go out and enjoy myself more with the company that I enjoy; I need to open up to new experiences.

My first step? I’ve booked myself a tix to watch Black Swan tomorrow, on the first day of LNY, alone. Watching a movie alone is nothing new, but Black Swan is not the type of movie I would willingly go watch in the past. It would be the type of movie that I would be interested in the storyline, but not to watch it as a movie. For some reason, I always get sucked in too deep (emotionally) when it comes to live action movies… hence, for such storylines, I usually much prefer to read a novel than to watch a movie.

But like I said, I need to open up my mind more and experience new stuff. So yeah, I’ll be watching Black Swan. Let’s hope I won’t regret my decision. XD

I’d also made a rather large-impact decision before I actually went for the Finland trip. Those who are supposed to know about it have already knew, plus a few others whom I’ve told recently, so I don’t wish to divulge it here. I’m not sure if it’s the right decision, but let’s hope it’s at least a wise one. I think… it’s kinda necessary for now. For me, at least. I’m still having some regrets, most of them coming from the fact that… old habits die hard.

I guess I should just give myself more time to adjust and adapt to the current situation (yeah, even though I’m the one who caused the situation to be like this now). And I guess I’m just really tired. And I still am. Don’t know how long it’ll take for me to recover, recharge, re-energise… I know a lot of you are helping, and I really thank you guys and gals for being there for me. A big hug to all of you. ^^

And as for you (you know who you are), thank you for going along with this, even though I know it’s very difficult for you. Just remember that there is always a silver lining behind every cloud. :) For every thing that has happened, there’s bound to be a reason for it.  Taking a step back to re-evaluate your direction in life is pretty much necessary at this point in time.  The same goes for me.

Well this is the last post by me in the Year of Tiger.  Good bye, Kitty-Cat – see you in 12 years time.

And hello, Rabbit! :D

The Year of Rabbit is approaching.

It’s time to start anew. I’ll try and leave all the emotional baggage behind, go out and meet new people, try out new things, and… do what I need/want to do. And hope I’ll enjoy the process. =)

Wish me luck! ^^

我真的好喜欢这首歌的歌词。说到内心深处了。。。

傻瓜-温岚

其实他做的坏事我们都懂
没有什么不同
眼光闪烁 暧昧流动
闭上眼当作听说

其实别人的招数我们都懂
没有什么不同
故作软弱 撒娇害羞
只是有一点别扭

傻瓜也许单纯得多
爱得没那么做作
爱上了我不保留

傻瓜 我们都一样
被爱情伤了又伤
相信这个他不一样
却又再一次受伤

傻瓜 我们都一样
受了伤却不投降
相信付出会有代价
代价只是一句傻瓜

Yup, I deactivated the comments again because of the horrible comments spam.  I’ve cleared 700+ last night (as I haven’t been logging in to clear them for quite a while), and this morning when I checked again, there’s 28 new spam comments.  Gah!

So yeah, decided to close the comments for good. =_=;

If you wanna comment on my entries, feel free to message me on FB, MSN, Whataspp or just sms me for a meet up or something.  I’m darn free nowadays.  Kinda.  LOL.

Two more hours to a brand new year.

Two more hours left of the last year of the decade.

Year 2010… has its fair share of ups and downs, though I would say the downs are a lot more than the ups. XD But still… lessons were learnt, and wisdom was gained. So all in all… I guess it’s not that bad.

I’ve come to terms with a lot of things in life… that not everything goes according to what I plan; that most things were usually out of my control, even though I thought I had them in control; that things can’t be forced; and that if it’s not meant to be, it’s not meant to be.

Downs aside, perhaps one of the better things that happened in year 2010 was the arrival of my little niece, Celyn, on 29th November. I’m still not that used to be being around such fragile humanoids, but at least I don’t really fear them that much anymore. Dylan had also somewhat warmed up to me, to the point where he would rather crawl onto my lap than to let his paternal grandmother hug him. :x That counts for some improvement in my relationship with him huh! :D

My Chinese zodiac, Rooster, is gonna have the worst of luck next year, in the Year of Rabbit. Plenty of upheavals in life, relationships, health, finance, and god-knows-what-else. Sigh. Of course, there’s no need to read too much into it, but… it just doesn’t feel great to know that it’s gonna be a tough year ahead. (And yes, I do actually believe in Chinese Astrology, somehow.)

I seriously have no idea what next year would bring. Hopefully it won’t be half bad… XD Enough of my melancholy…

Here’s wishing all of my friends a happy 2011. May it be a better year than this. =)

Those who know me knew that I wasn’t much into JDrama or KDrama or TDrama or whatsoever.  But every now and then, there will be a good drama that captivated me.  And here I was, re-watching some scenes from Shining Inheritance online again… and found myself crying over this bittersweet scene (from beginning of episode till about 02.20) again. Sigh~ Did you see him cry?  OMG, my heart just wrenched when she told him to stop coming near, and he really stopped because he knew how much she was hurting, despite him dying to go hug her and kiss her tears away.  Awwww…..  :(  And have I mentioned that I love the background song that was playing? *heart melts*

And here goes the translated lyrics of the song!~

Love is Punishment by K. Will

Perhaps if I have never encountered you, it would have been the best
If I had need been living in another world
If I had need to become strangers in life
It will not have been left with this inflicting pain in my heart

Love is to love you
When you aren’t around, stealing mutter to say i love you
Afraid that when you heard that, you will run away
Obscure silence inadvertently in loving you

*tears*  :~  OST MTV below~!  And oh, it was so lovingly-made T_T~!
