As per the feedback from my dear readers, I have been writing on movies recently that make my blog seems like a movie review. So for a change, here I am blogging on the recent activities that i'm engage in.

22 Oct 2009
Last thursday i had a wonderful high tea buffet session with my fellow bros. We head down to my favorite place Yum Cha for the awesome dim sum buffet that I have craving on for one week. Don't get the wrong idea, i'm not a pregnant mummy who gets craving for food. Colin, Kc, Weikiang, Tong and I were crazily chit chatting during the tea session. I guess we are the only group that seated in the restaurant for the longest time. After which we head down to city hall by walking. I'm so regret in agreeing with them to walk down to city hall, it was seriously a long journey! We watched My Sister's Keeper on the same day too and that's when Deyan joined us. A great day with great accompany! You bros are awesome!

















24 Oct 2009
Last saturday marks an important date for our dearest Fuzzy. Fuzzy Miz turns 21st! Happy Birthday Girl! We had this awesome surprise for her and all credits go to the event planner Amanda. Hweehua, Amber, Quanzhi and I were there to create the atmosphere for our dearest, hope that she wasn't disappointed. We had awesome fun and surprises that day. On a side note, 22nd Oct was my buddy Jieyong birthday, Happy 21st Bro! It's too bad that you can't join us for celebration. Do make up for it someday! I heart my poly pals!

Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

This was the first Ice Age film that i watched out of the three series. A rather hilarious cartoon. A film that feature friendship and family love too. It is just the usual type of film that i would watched. Probably it's time to broaden up my taste for films, trying out different types of films once in a while.

My Sister's Keeper

A wonderful film watched with deyan, weikiang, kc and tong last thursday. My Sister's Keeper is a 2009 American drama film directed by Nick Cassavetes based on a novel. The story started with Sara and Brian Fitzgerald. They have a son and a two-year-old daughter, Kate who was diagnosed to have leukemia. Their only hope is to conceive another child, specifically intended to save Kate’s life. For some, such genetic engineering would raise both moral and ethical questions; for the Fitzgeralds, Sara in particular, there is no choice but to do whatever it takes to keep Kate alive. And so here come along with their third child Anna.

A fascinating film that send my tears rolling down my cheek while the movie goes. A story that emphasis on the relations in a family. The willingness to scarify for one another so long it benefits the other. The strong sense of belonging. I simply love the storyline! Most of the audiences were sniffing away throughout the film. A saddening story that touches everyone hearts. Despite the story is frictional, but i believe that everyone in a family do care for each other, it just that in real life it’s harder for them to convey the love across openly. I really enjoyed the film. The ending was kind of surprising as well, a twist to the whole story line. I just can't wait to grab hold of the novel and start reading it!

Julie & Julia

Last Tuesday, Tony and i watched the film Julie and Julia. It is a comedy-drama 2009 film based on two true stories. The film depicts events in the life of chef Julia Child in the early years in her culinary career, contrasting her life with Julie Powell, who aspires to cook all 524 recipes from Child's cookbook during a single year. A film that transmit the importance of chasing after your dream. One will never succeed in life, if he only dream without action.

oishi deska

I finally head down to Sakae Sushi for their student buffet! An affordable yet oishi japanese cuisine. Of course there are better restaurant out there. However, i always believe that even if you are in the worst environment so long you have awesome company everything will turn out great.

500 Days of Summer

This is a story of boy meets girl, begins the wry, probing narrator of (500) DAYS OF SUMMER, and with that the film takes off at breakneck speed into a funny, true-to-life and unique dissection of the unruly and unpredictable year-and-a-half of one young man’s no-holds-barred love affair. Tom, the boy, still believes, even in this cynical modern world, in the notion of a transforming, cosmically destined, lightning-strikes-once kind of love. Summer, the girl, doesn’t. Not at all. But that doesn’t stop Tom from going after her, again and again, like a modern Don Quixote, with all his might and courage. Suddenly, Tom is in love not just with a lovely, witty, intelligent woman – not that he minds any of that -- but with the very idea of Summer, the very idea of a love that still has the power to shock the heart and stop the world.

A film watched with kc, colin, woon and tong yesterday. A wonderful story that highlights the simplicity and yet complicating relationship of lovers. An author whose another believers for fate. I'm also a believer. I believe that everyone we met in daily life are all linked by the word : FATE. There's always a reason in terms of the people we meet, friends that we had made and even family who are bond with us. Even so I'm sure GOD always have his reason for the fate that he had allocated for all of us. I also love the part where the author described the sadness in breaking up. Couples always felt sad when they broke up as they always focus on the great things that they had accomplished during their relationship and neglected the unhappiness in it. And i'm so agree with the sentence.

아빠셋 엄마하나 One Mom and Three Dads

One Mom and Three Dads is a 2008 Korean television drama. The synopsis : Song Na Young and her husband, Jung Sung Min, desperately want a child but her husband is unable to get her pregnant. Her husband’s friends decide to help them. But Na Young suddenly loses her husband in an accident and she gives birth to her daughter but does not know which of her husband’s friends fathered her child. The father of Na Young’s child can either be Han Soo Hyun, Choi Kwang Hee, or Hwang Kyung Tae. A hilarious and heartwarming drama that showcase the miracles and happiness of having a little child. It has a great storyline. A Korean drama that i highly recommend!

Shutter

Yesterday, i was watching Shutter with colin. It's a 2004 Thai horror film. The plot : a young photographer Thun and his girlfriend Jane discover mysterious shadows in their photographs after fleeing the sceen of an accident. As they investigate the phenomenon, they find other photographs contain similar supernatural images, that Thun's best friends are being haunted as well, and Jane discovers that her boyfriend has not told her everything. A horror film that spice up your boring life!

C'est la vie, mon chéri

C'est la vie, mon chéri, also known as 新不了情 was an award winning Hong Kong film featured in the 1990s. An old film that i have decided to watch out of the blue. The plot : Min (Anita Yuen), a street singer who is part of a street opera troupe and part-time cover artiste, meets Kit (Lau Ching-Wan), a struggling jazz musician who has just broken up with his girlfriend (Carina Lau). Through her bubbly personality, she affects Kit for the better. However, just as their relationship begins to stabilize and win acceptance from Min's family, Min is diagnosed with cancer. A lovely story that features the sacrifices and acceptance in a relationship.

Gigolo Wannabe

Gigolo Wannabe, also known as Waters is a japan comedy film. It's about seven young men who are desperate for quick money arrive at a desolate seaside bar, called Dog Days, to audition as "hosts." This is the highly popular occupation of entertaining female patrons with smooth talk and a soothing smile while offering them drinks at "host clubs." Although their previous jobs varied from street performer to ex-banker, they are all happy to get this dream job so easily, until they discover that the manager has run off with their deposits! Upon seeing them so discouraged, the sympathetic bar owner offers his place for them to open up a host club by themselves. With the help of his granddaughter, Chika (who has a heart disorder), and despite the combination of their initial confusion, personal problems and a typhoon that almost blew the place down, they gradually find the true meaning of friendship, trust and love. All these concluded with a hilarious and surprise ending. A film with an underlying message.

Surrogates

Caught the film Surrogates with weikiang, dayan, hui and nicholas today. It is a 2009 science fiction film, based on the 2005–2006 comic book series. The plot : FBI agents (brue willis and radha mitchell) investigate the mysterious murder of a college student linked to the man who helped create a high-tech surrogate phenomenon that allows people to purchase unflawed robotic versions of themselves – fit, good looking remotely controlled machines that ultimately assume their life roles – enabling people to experience life vicariously from the comfort and safety of their own homes. The murder spawns a quest for answers: in a world of masks, who’s real and who can you trust? In fact in real life, there is already difficulties faced in entrusting others beside yourself. With the implementations of machinery, this world will be even more chaotic than we can imagine. The emotions part of humans will be neglected as well. Let's hope that there will never be a day like what was shown in the film.

negative comments

When someone share a negative comments about your friend would you head straight to tell him? I received some negative comments about my friend lately and was told to keep quite about it. I was wondering if i should share the comments with him? I have to admit that i agreed with certain part of the comments. It's kind of true that his been kind of weird lately, but in order to last both side of the friendship i decided to keep my mouth shut for the moment. Probably one day I would be able to share these comments with him at a right place and time.
