It was only in year 2009, when I caught the movie ‘Bodyguards and Assassins’ that I got to know of his (Donnie Yen) existence! (I still remember I blogged about this movie last year!, about how good it was!) I know I know, pathetic I know. It was because I didn’t catch the awesome movie ‘Ip Man’ in 2008! :( I’m a tad slow. I think its alright, because I started appreciating his movies since then! :)) He’s totally admirable!

& then in 2010, it was Ip Man 2! Another biggest box office hit! HEHE. Can’t stop raving how awesome he is!! & I really really love the movie!! I love Donnie Yen!! After catching this movie, I’ll never want to miss any movies starring Donnie Yen! Heeee. =))

I’m sure many of you are probably like me, but I think its never too late to start liking him! I think he’s really good as an actor and he fights really well!! :D

I’m a lazy bum who never bothers doing research on movies; but knowing that he has this upcoming movie, I went to wikipedia a little, and found the whole list of movies he starred in. Amazed, I am, it all started since 1983, and he’s only 47 currently. *WOAHHH* & wiki is so updated that even movies starring Donnie Yen that are showing only in 2011/2012 are already out on the list!

Enough said. Conclusion: I can’t wait for Legend of the Fist! :) I wanna see Donnie Yen! I wanna see him fight!!

Anyway, here’s the synopsis. Its an Andrew Lau film..hoho!

While China is traumatized by military cliques during the World War era in
the 1020s, Shanghai is the cynosure of all eyes. People see it as both Hell’s
Kitchen and Heaven’s Gate/ One of the city’s most memorable heroes has to be
Chen Zhen, who single-handedly avenges his mentor’s death by killing all the
Japanese at a dojo in Hongkou, only to be showered with bullets while making
his legendary flying kick. Vanished from the public eye ever since, he has been
taken dead though his body is never found.

Seven years later, a wealthy entrepreneur called Koo returns from abroad
and makes a grand entrance on the Shanghai social scene by befriending the
notorious mafia boss of the city. This mysterious man is none other than Chen
Zhen in disguise who dwells in a world of nefarious means in order to infiltrate
the criminal empire. He soon discovers a clandestine collusion between the
mafia and the Japanese.

Disguised as a caped crusader at night, Chen sets out to dismantle with his
martial arts skill the evil collusion that plaques the country. One of his foremost
missions is to ferret out the assassination list prepared by the Japanese…

Remember to catch it 23rd September onwards! I’ll be sure to, too!!! :))

& I’ll definitely do a review after I do! Pretty sure it’ll ROCK, because Donnie Yen is also the action director of this film! HEHEHE!

I managed to catch the movie I’ve always wanted to, which was Au Revoir Taipei. The reason why I wanted to watch was, firstly because of my extreme-fascination/fetish for Taiwan. Its a country I’ve been wanting to go, to nom-noms at their night market, to shop till I drop. Secondly, the poster was really intriguing, nicely designed, deceiving enough.

You see, nice or not!?!?!? Nice right??

Anyway. The whole duration of the movie was 83 minutes. The whole flick was really slow, so bad that it felt like I had been watching the movie for 2-3 hours already, but in reality, it was only around an hour. It was the first movie (from what I could remember), that I had the urge of leaving the theatres half way. (OH, I remember, the other movie I really left the theatres was ‘PERHAPS LOVE’, it was a musical-like movie, few years back.) But well, I stayed on of course..

I’d give this movie 2/5 stars. My friend said I’m already very generous. HAHA!

At the end of the 83 minutes, I felt like I wasted 83 minutes of my time, and 6 bucks on watching the movie!

I was so jealous of the person who was queuing infront of me at the ticketing booth. They bought tickets for Step up 3. :C :C :C I think any other movies which was showing would be better than this lur!

Okay, this was their funny ending scene..

But well well, this movie was good in the sense it was able to portray some of the highlights of Taipei/Taiwan. Like their food street etc. It’d probably be better as a tourism-related advertisement instead of a movie, except that its too draggy and long.

No matter what, I’d still love Taiwan, and someday in the near future, I hope my dreams will come true. I want to be on the lands of Taiwan for a short trip soon!! :]

I LOVE THE MOVIE.

I’m not a ‘magical’ (& cartoon) person. I never liked Harry Potter. But I was intrigued by the storyline of this movie, even though it was ‘magically-based’, so to speak, as its about Sorcerers.

I didn’t fall asleep at all. :) *proud*

I especially love it because it had a sweet and happy ending! :DDD~ It makes me smileeee. & The apprentice is sucha hunk! ;)

I’d rate this movie a 4/5*! *There are still many timing slots available in JB and probably the whole of Malaysia, so M’sians, this movie is worth watching! :D*

My favourite characters! :DDDDD

I wouldn’t reveal much about the storyline, else I’d be a spoiler. Since it isn’t even released yet..

But on the overall, I quite like the movie. Except that it probably lacks a climax? And.. I’m pretty sure, uhm, I mean, I’m expecting a Salt II sometime later.. HAHA!

I hope I’m not revealing too much!

Anyway, I’ll rate the movie 3.5/5.

Not forgetting, Angelina Jolie’s HOT STUFFFFFFF!!! (I want 20% of her HOTNESS PLZXZXZX)

SEE FOR YOURSELF! (& her role in the movie just made her more attractive. brainy.!!!! opps I’ll stop for now!)

HOTTTT! :}

Hope you like the moviee like I did too :D

I’m never a cartoon/anime person. I wouldn’t catch these movies unless its highly recommended, and now, I’m going to highly recommend those who haven’t caught it, to CATCH IT IN THE THEATRES before its gone!!!

The movie was awesome. YOURS TRULY didn’t even fall asleep for a second!!!! Another achievement YAY! The flick was captivating and superrrrrrrrrr cute!!!!!!!!!!

And my favourite character is non other than AGNES!!!♥♥♥ I love her innocence, her humongous-round eyes! I LOVE AGNES! and I believe many others who caught the movie LOVES HER TOO!!

HAHA, the super dad!

The minions in the movie are so cute too!!! They speak some weird minion language its quite comical!

I love to see the 3 of them and the baddie, who turned good! :D:D SUPER #1 DAD!!

On the overall, I’d rate this movie a 4.5/5!! :DD

A very light hearted movie, for you to laugh your lungs out! :DD

FASTER GO CATCHHHHHHHHH ^^ No regrets!

Other photo sources are from: www.watchmoviee.net/ :)

It was heart wrenching. Totally pains me to see that lil girl like that. You gotta catch the trailer too, to know what am I talking about! No regrets!!

Watch the trailer here: After Shock Trailer!

The movie depicts the scenes of a terrible natural disaster an earthquake in Tang Shan (唐山大地震) in the year 1976. Knowing that it was a real-life story just made it worst, more heart-aching. This tragedy took 240,000 lives away.. =’(

Thanks to OMY.SG, I got to catch the preview of the movie After Shock. & I brought Ruo Yan darling to catch the movie with me! :))

As expected, it was a movie that draws tears from its audiences. Many were whizzing and sobbing inside the theatres,  and I was almost reduced to tears during some scenes..

I’d rate the movie 3.5/5.

Do catch the movie on the 29th of July when its out in the cinemas! PREPARE TISSUE PAPER OKAY IF YOURE A PERSON WHOSE TEAR DUCTS ARE ACTIVATED EASILY! :(

Synopsis:

When a mother is informed by the rescue team that, as her 7-year old twins are buried under the debris close to each other, digging one out would result in further collapse of the wreckage on the other, she is forced to make the most difficult decision of her life. As the clock ticked away, she finally ended her struggle and chose to save the boy, and though heartbroken, she had no idea her decision was overheard by the daughter. Deemed as a dead person, the little girl miraculously survived and was rescued after being buried under for days. Suffering from the emotional shock of the disaster and the painful memory of her mother’s choice, she refused to reveal whom she was. She was adopted by a young couple and later moved to the US, but shadowed by the traumatic experience from her childhood, she forever remained emotionally closed up.

When the Sichuan earthquake takes over 80,000 lives in 2008, she volunteers to join the rescue team and returns to her homeland, China. As she witnesses the tribulations people go through when a natural disaster takes place, she finally unlocks the pain she had felt all these years and finds forgiveness. She finally reunites with the mother and twin brother she had parted from after 32 years. A human drama about finding forgiveness, ‘Aftershock’ depicts not only the fatal tragedy that is brought on by a natural disaster of great levels, but also the strength and courage that is demonstrated when we are in face of extreme and devastating situations.

I hope you’re waiting for them! ;)

Actually I think I look almost the same, I think. Except from the difference in length. Its a vast difference!! I seriously can’t wait for it to grow again!

*bare minimal make up, don’t puke, hehe*

*Mourning over my snipped off hair* HAHA!

This is how short it is.!!

One last one..

If you still think there’s not much difference, you need a new spectacles!! :(

Okay, for easier comparison, instead of trying to imagine how long was my hair..

I used to have such long hair!!! *My hair is still slightly longer than whatever’s portrayed hereeee okay*

Now I think I lost some ‘feminity’ too, due to the shorter hair length. I want my hair to grow back fast!!!!

Today is Wednesday! Made an impromptu visit to the cinema.. If you followed me on twitter, you’d have known.. I caught Inception in the theatres today!! :D

EVERYONE SAYS ITS THE BESTEST MOVIE IN 2010. I’ll second what’s said with all my 4 limbs!!!

I have to divulge, initially before a friend explained to me exactly what happened, I was lost. I wasn’t exactly aware of the ‘goals’ of the main characters, because either I missed the very very beginning, or I was too busy eating. >< (We bought Secret Recipe’s Cake inside to nom-nom!) HAHA.

And somewhere through the middle, I fell asleep! Its not the movie, its me. HAHA!

Having said that, I’m not totally clueless to the movie as well, so yeap, through the parts I watched and processed through my mind, I could roughly decipher what the whole movie was about.

This movie is too smart, too ingenious!! The scriptwriter is a genius! ;)

I’d give it a 4.5/5 stars!!!!! :D

So guys, if you haven’t spent 2.5hours in the threatres watching this blockbuster, you gotta do it fast!!

For the past few days I’d been having full-day (or almost!) activities that kept me occupied from day to night. Totally drained of energy.

Saturday was an awesome day, whereby I got to touch mahjong again!! My fingers were really itching for some mahjong therapy, and thanks to my usual mahjong kakis, I got my therapy satisfied. *HAPPYYYY*

The lovely thing about this gang is, there’s no stress playing with them. Halfway through the round, somebody mentioned FOOD, somebody else seconded the idea, and there we go, settled out for our tea break! :D I’m of course, one of them who seconded. HAHAA, I’m a food lover, and we went for my favourite rojak/ice kacang stall in JB!!! Its the BEST place for such sinful treats.

Thank you Kaiwei, Yvonne, Patrick, Koon Phi!! & those in the gang, but I didn’t manage to meet on the other mahjong date. :)!

PS: No photos because everyone complains they’re in their shaggest form during mahjong sessions! HAHA!

After mahjong, I went home and had a short nap before heading out for dinner with the Ker family. :)

I was craving for Secret Recipe cakes..and by the time our dinner ended, it was the closing times for the malls as well so cravings wasn’t satisfied. *Sigh*

*while I’m typing this entry, I feel like I’m under mozzies attack. I have mozzies bite here there and everywhere!! Omg!!*

Sunday saw me out in Singapore for Playboy’s outing! :D

Our actual plan to the Botanicals Garden was destroyed by the bad weather. It was drizzling almost all day! I hate rainy days because they make the weather so humid and sticky!!

On our way to Dhouby Ghout Mrt..

*Still on the way..*

Thus we ended up @ PitStop Cafe, which was a boardgames cafe! I think its quite a good cafe with reasonable prices! Only setback that will make me think twice about going back again is that we need to walk a distance away from Clarke Quay Mrt. Other than that, its a pretty comfortable cafe. ;) *Thumbs up*

The whole bulk of us @ PitStop Cafe! ;)

After a series of different games played, I conclude that I have SLOW and LAGGED REACTION TIME, cannot THINK/COUNT quickly, and BEST at silly games which doesn’t require BRAINS! *HAHAHA* Shitttt, I wanna bang wall now. ><”

LOVE YOU GUYS! :D

But I didn’t join them for dinner after games.

Because I went to catch a movie instead!

Caught Eclipse: The Twilight Saga, like finally!

Many were really unsatisfied with the movie, perhaps those who read the book! The storybooks usually gives very good description making the stories so real, and that is probably why the readers are disappointed with the movie..

Under a non-twilight-saga-reader’s perspective, I beg to differ, and I felt that the movie wasn’t that bad on the overall.

I agree there were some scenes that had too many exchanges in conversation that could have made the movie a tad boring, but on the overall, I felt it was still an-okay-movie. At least not as bad as what some people described it to be. HAHA!

More importantly, yours truly didn’t even close my eyes for a second! :)))

I can’t wait for BREAKING DAWN.

Eclipse portrayed some sort of battle between Jacob and Edward for Bella, so I presume Breaking Dawn would give us a conclusion? *I really have no idea for I haven’t read the book!, its 100% under my presumptions!*

Anyway I wished I was Bella HAHA!

There’s one character I’ve been hating ever since I watched the first series, Twilight.

Victoria!!!!!

& I’m more than glad she was ‘killed’ in Eclipse! :D

–

This morning saw me being sporty after a long long break. I haven’t been exercising since months ago! Since I started working for the first time, in May! Thats a good two months, I’m feeling really guilty.

But it was a good ‘work out’ as I finally moved my muscles a little more than usual by playing badminton!

& Now I’m aching everywhere. HAHA. It means a pretty good work out, eh? I hope.

Also went for the medical appointment as a requirement for admission to NUS. Settled, and another agenda ticked off my schedule. :D

Pretty much sums up my day today.

Travelled back to JB after which and home sweet home. :)

Dog tired!

–

not feeling at my best these few days! :( but I’ll be okay.

because I know..

and..

I conclude that everyone has their own set of problems and unhappy moments.

All we have to do is to live with it and become STRONGER in the process. ^^

15th of July is finally OVER! Its a date that’s bookmarked on my phone calendar since eons ago..

I can’t reiterate how worried I was about this silly QET test, and no matter what is the outcome, I’m glad its over.

Its feels as if a rock (that weighs a 100 tonnes) is off my chest. I can finally breathe at ease, enjoy myself guilt-free. The few days before the test was a terror. Knowing my usual self, I really couldn’t help but procrastinate till the last minute. Urghhhhhh. Totally hates myself for that. BUTTTT. Its alright, everything’s over, and I’ll resign to ‘fate’ to decide. HAHA. Oookay, my senior asked me to *have faith*!!

Life’s easier and happier like that, isn’t it?

:))

I’m in an awesome mood nowwwwwwwwwww.

–

ANYWAYYYYY.

YESTERDAYYYYYY, I caught a movieeee (feeling totally guilty!!) with Suet Yin and Nic!!! SUPER LOVE THEMMM FOR WATCHING KARATE KID WITH ME AGAIN!! Yes, Karate Kid. I know I’m slower than anything. But hey, there were like 3 rows of people in the theatres too okay. So at least 3 rows of people as slow as me. 

It was really a good catch! & I’m so super duper glad I caught it at the very last minutee! Because even the cinemas in JB are not showing it anymore.. Mommy’s gonna be so disappointed.

AWESOME MOVIEEEE.

I’d give it a 4.5/5 stars..

It was so touching, the part where Jackie Chan was reminiscing about his wife and son. Oh my! :(

& Extremely heart wrenching when the super evil and arrogant coach wanted to break Dre’s legs. Ouchhhhh. I feel for him! :(

AIYAAA.

Definitely worth the watch. But if you missed it, wait for the DVDs to come out and watch it at home, I guess? :))

But at the same time, I missed a few pretty good movies too.

• The legend is born: Ip Man
• Toy Story 3
• The Backup Plan
• Triple Tap
• She’s out of my league
• The A-Team

Omg I feel super demoralised and depressed. 

I missed out so many great movies. And my only chance to catch two out of the six here is tomorrow. I found out one cinema in JB that’s still showing a single slot of Triple Tap and The Backup Plan, tomorrow. Sighhh. The other 4, its either I manage to catch them last minute like how I caught Karate Kid, or I’ll never watch them. Sad ttm.

I’m so going to catch the movies I wanna watch before they are removed from the screens again! :((

No matter how lousy Eclipse: The Twilight Saga was said to be, I think I’m still going to watch it. HAHA.

I wanna catch Eclipse, Despicable me, Inception, Street dance for now.

–

And…in no time, it’ll be time for school!

I’m having mixed feelings about school.

At times, I can’t wait for it to start because my boredness is really filled to the brim. But on other occassions, I wished I had more time, to have fun, watch movies, go K with friends, meet up with friends, go partyyyyy, etc. But then again, it will become boring again.

Okay I shall anticipate the start of school :) I wonder how university life is going to be like, for me..

No one says its going to be easy.

But at least, its going to be worth it. (:

I would use whatever magic powers I’ve learnt to give my parents and brothers very good health. I love my family and I’d dedicate my powers to give them a better life! :D

Thats if I really get to..

But thats besides the point. I will never be a Sorcerer’s Apprentice, will I? haha!

Lets be more realistic, and catch the movie instead! HAHA, let the lead actors in the movie do the job! :))

Here’s the movie trailerrrrr!

So how do you like the trailer??

Be sure to Catch The Sorcerer’s Apprentice Movie starting from 22^nd July 2010 and join the Walt Disney Studios Singapore official Facebook and Twitter page! :D:D
