A Wedding Affair
It has been econs since I attended any wedding dinner. Being the usual me, I was quite hyped up about attending one even though I do not know the married couple personally - my mum's cousin's son's wedding to be exact !
I feel good attending a wedding =) Hope to receive more wedding invitations soon!
The food was great !
Got excited seeing my fav car model~
I really think its damn fun to be part of planning a wedding, be it as an Emcee, photographer, event coordinator. Feels good to soak in the bliss =)So to all prospecting couples, pls get married soon k! Lol.
Bliss~

Another local film up this week, by Kelvin Tong this time round. I think there are many talented film makers locally and it's kind of heartening that each one has their own style. I would rate the film a 3.5*. Personally, I feel that the pace of the story is good, and I must add that the background music does play a huge part in making my heart beat faster. The film editing is quite good as well, and the filming is certainly not amateurish. Phyllis Quek was surprisingly good in her role, but I was kind of disappointed with Chris Lee's overly facial focused performace. It was good in some scenes but it just felt too similar after seeing it in different scenes. If only he can be more subtle in portraying his anxiety & anger at different points and I will rate it more favourably =) Still, it's a highly suspense thriller-filled film if you are in for some adrenaline rush. What's more, it's a LOCAL FILM =)
Singapore Got Talent~
Weekday night movie with the partial V =) The film was officially released locally last September but was given a Re-run in theatres lately.I have to say that I gotta agree with the Academy on The Hurt Locker. Seriously, I did have some expectations due to the accolades the film swept up recently but still, I am no serious fan of military genre film. The film turned out to be great, and I was really impressed with the sound mixing, as it played a crucial part in raising the trepidation in the audiences while anticipating when the next blow up will strike. I think the whole film is about Respect towards the bomb squad as in the movie, and I guess this is also regardless of whatever profession anyone is in.
Personally, I felt that most parts of The Hurt Locker was filmed realistically, and I really like the Cinematography. I was really curious where on earth the movie was filmed and true enough, it definitely wasn’t filmed in Iraq but in neighbouring Jordan, apparently just miles from the Iraqi border.
Apart from its Best Film & Best Director awards, it also won technical awards for Best Original Screenplay, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing & Best Film Editing.
Catch it if you can~
Overdued pics! Still, its a good preview of whats coming in Singapore soon =)
ROARrrr~
The best part of theme parks for me is definitely chasing the characters when they appear like some freaking idoit, and somehow I really get much of a kick when I manage to grab them shamelessly and hog them for some precious seconds... As such, my eyes are always on the lookout for these adorable fantasy characters =)Penguin from Madagascar~
Once again, ROARrrrrrrrr~
Ultra challenge~
The cutest of all, Kungfu PANDA !
I never knew its eyes are so huge & wide !
Are you game for it? Let's go~
It has been eons since we met up, but nothing has really changed much =)Fated~
Sandra Bullock! Her contenders are strong and worthy opponents, but what really made Sandra bagged the highly coveted Oscar despite this being her 1st Academy Award nomination for an Actress in a Leading Role is definitely because she is so likeable by all Americans, and everyone else. Indeed, if we look at past Oscar trend in this category, we have witnessed Julia Roberts in her defining role in Erin Brockovich, Reese Witherspoon in Walk the Line, and now Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side. I can only say how much the audiences love to see an American Sweetheart in transition to an Academy Winner. And her winning speech is simply hilarious, typically her =)
Ironically, Sandra Bullock also picked up the Golden Raspberry award for the Worst Role of the year in All About Steve. She is really sporting, as she attended that ceremony the night before the Oscars and she said that she will keep her Razzie on the same shelf as her Oscar! LoL.
Sandra Bullock with her standing ovation as she receives her 1st Oscar~
As for Best Picture, Im quite surprised Avatar didnt bag it, though its kinda expected Kathryn Bigelow will bag the Best Director for her film. Im so gonna catch the Hurt Locker next to be my own judge of which is better.
Im definitely a Movie Junkie, no doubt on that~
There are really quite a handful of movies opening in cinema this week. Apart from Fann Wong's Happy Go Lucky, another show really worth cathing is Up In the Air (sidenote: my sis said Alice in Wonderland sucks). It's a really good show, definitely not a show merely on the premise of a guy whose life aim is to chalk up 1 million miles in flying points.
Personally I feel that the dialogues are very well-crafted. There is no lack of humor, especially if you have something for the acerbic kind of humor. George Clooney plays the protagonist whose job is to fire people at different cities in America. Due to the nature of his job, he grew to be rather detached to relationships, be it kinship or personal relationship. That was until he met 2 ladies in his life, one of which whom he had a rather complicated romance with no strings attached, the other which is his new female colleague whom he had to travel with to show her the ropes. Just when he changed the way he views relationships and life, things didnt turn out as the way he expected. I guess the Director's intent is to put across the message that life doesnt always turn out the way we envisioned .
It's definitely a realistic show with depth, and somehow I kind of see a certain portion of myself in Clooney's character (you have to watch the movie to find out).
George Clooney exudes this unspeakable charisma and he is my motivation to be like when Im his age~
This Flight is worth catching, 4.5/5*~
It's our home-grown director Harry Yap's first movie though he isn't exactly very young anymore. Let's lend our support and promote Singapore's Film making industry! Apparently due to the limited budget of the director, this movie is not as heavily publicised as the other local movie also up this week, so Im using this insignificant channel here to promote the film =)It's definitely not just Hong Kong, Taiwan or China which can produce films...
Singapore Film~
I love how simple these sentences & images are in depicting feelings =)
Struck a chord~
