Ending of week no 18-21




MOVIE THEME

I apologise for the late updates, days has been busy for me and i just realised how long i had been missing haha...even to date i'm unable to find time to update my blog but i decided to stay up a little late today to finish up at least the movie theme...Subsequently i would take time to round up the music theme as well...The picture above was taken 2 weeks ago, is kind of like a short-notice meet up, but i'm still happy to see everyone there...The same laughing pauline, 200 pounds wannabe rebecca, singing-god john, cheeky-wracky chin and the forever look innocent ibsen. A little disappointed that zhan yang didnt turn up, whatever ok, we had planned our next outing in June and there's more to come before the guys turn botak haha...BTW do u guys know that there's a latest ambassador for WHISPER?? Check out my next post and u shall know who that is

(week 18)-Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay: A fitfully funny yet less excellent sequel, Kumar lights up a bong on an airplane, but the device gets mistaken for a bomb, which results in the two getting tossed into Guantanamo. The movie milks the absurdity of prejudice in so many ways that it threatens, at times, to wilt into a liberal fable. It's a mesh of the funny and the draggy, yet goosed by little volts of comic shock. Cho gives Harold's exasperation vigor and snap, and Penn plays Kumar as a fully fleshed character

(week 19)-Nim's island: Anything can happen on Nim's island, a magical place ruled by a young girl's imagination. It's an existence that mirrors that of her fav. literary character, Alex Rover- the world's greatest adventurer. When Nim's dad goes missing from their island, a twist of fate brings her together with Alexander, the author of the rover books. Now they must draw courage from their fictional hero, Alex Rover, and find strength in one another. Watch this movie if u are looking for the Hollywood's hottest child star or a more flapping and neurotic Jodie Foster.

(week 20)-What happens in Vegas: Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz play a mismatched pair of gamblers who meet, party hard and wake up in Las Vegas only to learn that they got hitched during what should have been a sloshed one-night stand. To lay claim to a $3 million slot-machine payoff, the two are forced to live together for six months as husband and wife. Kutcher, who gives his most energized performance to date, and Diaz, darting between the caustic and shrill, look as if they're warming up to groovy hate sex, not love, which may be why the film goes flat the moment it turns friendly.

(week 21)-Made of Honor: When Tom met Hannah, the two were at college, and they ended up as buddies. After 10 years of palling around, he realised that Hannah is the one for him. But she's gotten herself engaged-to a towering hunk of a Scotsman. She wants Tom to be her maid of honor. To win her over, he seizes upon the emasculating role, a process that starts out routinely but grows steadily funnier as the movie arrives in Scotland. Made of Honor is a nice cookie-cutter comedy, no more or less, but Dempsey, with his relaxed charm, and Monaghan, with her soft and peachy sensual spark, rise to the challenge of making friendship look like the wellspring of true love.

congrat to fish

Congrat to Fish Leong









Once again my beloved Fish Leong has been nominated for the 19th taiwan melody awards, this is her 4th time being nominated. Aligning with her for this category we also have Tanya, Joi, Karen, Yanzi and A-mei...Among the 6 strong contenders, 4 of them are from SM(Singapore & Malaysia) region. This show how strong and capable our female vocalist are, but my precious vote still goes to Fish...







2004 she was first nominated and was one vote behind faye wong who's the winner for that year
judges say: is time to give faye some recognition; though Fish has a nice breakthru!!!







2005 her second time nominated and once again she lost by one vote to our local Yanzi
judges say: Fish has a beautiful vocal yet Yanzi is more versatile and able to capture the spirit of different genre of songs( what the heck!! the title for this award is best female vocalist leh)







2006 her 3rd time nominated and lost to another local singer-Tanya
judges say: Tanya composition is mature and heart-wrenching...is time to reward her....







last year 2007 Jolin bitch won e title and the funniest part is fish was not even nominated...
judges say: Jolin hard work has been paid off...she can dance well,sing well and keeping the right standard on stage....so does that mean fish cant sing well...please everyone knew fish can sing live better than Jolin...well is just her luck lor....







this year i'm still betting high stake on fish....Karen, Tanya, Yanzi and A-mei had won this title before, except for joi and Fish...

indecent proposal

Indecent Proposal





Getting into bed had always been the highlight of my day; i'd always imagined it like some kind of cloud or gentle nest where i could just let go of all the stress of acting cool and looking perfect and saying the right things. But now, it loomed like a torture device, a place where i'd close my eyes and have to replay what had happened over and over, like a closed-circuit TV. At this very moment, my shivery body had awaken upon fear. What the hell was going on, as many were asking....A nice chap(unreveal actor)from Mediacorp had offered me a ride home. It was to my astonishment that i found out it was him, because when he greeted me 'hi', the surrounding was almost shimmer. But no one would ever expect that i had indeed hop onto a car that nearly leads me to losing my dignity and ruining his career!!! On the way everything looks fine, we were chatting about work and partially our social-life blah blah blah. It was till we reached my apartment, he suddenly grabbed to the collar of my shirt, pressed his lips against mine and pull my hand down to his pants. I tried to resist, but he was too strong and i could smell he tasted of rum/vodka from his breath. With the flung of my force, i pushed him away from me. 'Are You Crazy' i said with my voice skating the thin edge of panic. My heart was pounding so hard that i thought it would burst in no time. Suddenly this 'out of good heart' intention seems far worst than i could ever foreseen, because the anonymity was gone. If i would have tag along with him, soon everyone will know me by name. A sheepish silent runs for awhile till i asked him why would he convince himself to do such thing, and somemore, at his own risk?? He told me he was tired and stress out with his work and all the crews on set seem to dislike him. The most revealing part of the conversation was, he told me his co-actor aka senior colleagues urge him to find some junior actors or staff within the same surrounded fence for fun or what we call 'One Night Stand', if he need to wank or 'relieve his stress'. So i assuming he's taking their advice into action and sadly i'm the 1st victim that had been targeted. He apologized to me and acknowledged his own errors. I advised him not to believe or listen to others, as he's just creating an opportunity for them to step into his shoes and ruin his career. His tears swept down like opening tap. We both knew that he had made a regretful-act, yet the only thing i can do during that point of time was to allow him to cry on my shoulder, i could feel his intensed body; just like one who commit an offence and was too ashamed to face himself. Can u imagine a good looking man with a tangle of black hair, big eyes, an athlete's body like him would ever do this?? not to mention he's a well known actor....i really felt pity for the current stage he's in, there's no one to be blame from this incident and i'd made my promise to him that i wont reveal anything to anyone; afterall blogger is not human.

my labour day

My Labour Day

Hope you guys had enjoyed ur precious holiday; hang on there, just another day of work and there comes our weekend!!! Well as for me Labour Day is just another day with no extra charges while travelling on road lol. The usual crazy craziest me had chosen this day to workout..i went for a 500m swim below my block, follow by a 5km run along bukit timah nature park, and back for another 500m swim....it took me a hour and half to complete everything. I do always have the habit of running/ swimming at least 3 times a week, but it had been awhile since i last did run and swim together. Only one word to express myself EXHAUSTED...In the evening i travelled all the way from my place to bugis just to eat a plate of chicken rice, all thks to my fren Junsong.

Ann chatted with me last night on the phone and she asked me what is LOVE?? I couldnt explain it right on the spot, i felt is too sudden for a question like this...I hope ann is reading this...I think love is something that come with different definations, is just like 2 individuals fallen in love. And like any accelerant, that would change the equation, also it leads a person to do something crazy and all the lines between right and wrong were bound to disappear....ya i think love is something hard to explain, is something u must fallen into and experience it urself...trust me girl, is always a blessing when love is around!!!!

Iron man

Superb Iron Man





A show for all Marvel comics lover or those who love action and sci-fi movie. Iron Man played by Oscar-nominated actor Robert Downey Jr, is a billionaire playboy industrialist who is kidnapped and forced to build a devastating weapon. Downey Jr is recognized by some as being one of the most talented and acclaimed actors of his generation. His versatility sets him apart and makes him an ideal fit to play such a complex character; a guy with incredible intelligence and ingenuity that builds a high-tech suit of armor to escape captivity. He discovers a way to revise his armor to protect the world as the avenger Iron Man. Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow stars as his secretary and Terrence Howard and Jeff Bridges play very solid supporting roles in this adrenaline-raising film. Manage to catch the Gala-premiere of Iron Man on tues evening...my company Don-don said the show was an old man version of Transformers. Do i agreed with him?? Well judging it as the 1st blockbusters of the year( pardon me if i'm wrong cuz i never fancy abt blockbusters) i seriously think that Iron Man had given me an awesome visual and entertaining experience; generally Iron Man is a must-watch movie of this season, its terrific performance of those characters definitely produce 'ironic effect' on you upon leaving the cinema, quick go book ur tickets for this weekend!!!








That's not all......Thanks Geoffrey and friend who attended the Gala-premiere. Sorry to hear that Darren is working OT as a free labour,dun worry there's more chances ahead. As for my pet-bird Winston Choo, he's so sad that he couldn't watch it due to some experiment at work...hmm so i guess lets just name him Iron-Bird to allow him to feel the 'power' even without it presence haha

Lers mood for the week: Ultimately happy. So far this had been a great week for me, i'm able to find some joy in life while tasking at the same time. This's also the week of my ex-classmate MING FANG birthday; as a sincere friend like me i took the effort to travel down all-the-way to her workplace to pass the gift and cupcakes. I always love to see others to be happy esp when i'm the creator haha, sharing joy with others had always been part of my motto in life. Here with no return i'm asking; just purely out of good heart,mind and soul. I too experienced lots of 1st time this week. Apparently i had fun with a SEXY and CHARISMATIC guy, at the speed we're accelerating none of us could hardly catch a gasp. The motion of going up and down had been chilling yet thrilling....OOPS, i hope i didnt mislead u guys, i was actually talking abt my ice-skating experience. On thurs, i went JB with the birthday gal(above)and i given my 1st pedicure and medicure sesssion to a FAT UGLY BITCH, suay!!!!!

Lers record of the week: LEONA LEWIS-SPIRIT: The singer who cant stop 'bleeding love', The X-Factor winner Leona Lewis is the one and only reality TV talent show winner in the world to be given a major global launch with a debut album. Spirit displays Leona's talent show-winning trademark sweet and soaring vocals. What's more, the album also displays her talent as a top-notch balladeer as proven on tracks such as 'forgive me', 'angel' and 'i will be'(which is a totally heart-wrenching song). This album might not be everyone's cup of tea. If u r looking for an all ballad/pop album, then good for you, u've hit the jackpot. But if u're looking for an album you can dance and swing ur head to, then sad to say, u have to look elsewhere. Overall, spirit is a highly impressive debut album. Although Leona could do better with some up-tempo songs, her ballads are very solid, seriously. The perfect album for those lovey-dovey moments.

Lers movie of the week: THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL- Would this movie have delivered a more rousing charge if the leads had switched roles?? As in, Natalie Portman's witchy sexpot and Scarlett Johansson's placid pudding pot are a tepid twosome in this true tale of teenage sisters who battle it out for Henry VIII's affections in 16th century England. The other boleyn girl tells the little known story of Mary Boleyn(Johansson), who was the younger sister of Anne Boleyn(Portman). It was Mary who first bewitched the married Henry(Eric Bana) and bore him a child, only to see calculating Anne steal him away and wed him. As the film gallops swiftly thru several college courses worth of Tudor history, it emphasizes plot over character development and subtlety. Portman works way too hard trying to be a vixen, while Johansson seems bored with her put-upon heroine. Best here is Kristin Scott Thomas, as the girls mother, a woman whose wit and tongue are sharp enough to cut through all the heavily costumed frippery.

Lers favourite movie of all time: BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD(2007), starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke and Albert Finney- This film features excellent cinematography, and is a suspense thriller abt a New York family that's breaking apart. The Hanson bros, Andy(Hoffman), who is a drug-abusing stockbroker and Hank(Ethan), who struggles to make alimony payments, are at each others throats. Andy and Hank's lives begin to unravel when Andy convinces his brother to rob their parents jewelry store. After their plan falls apart, it results in a series of tragedies. In the end, it all makes for a haunting portrayal loss.

Lers seeing double: One's the A-list taiwanese singer/composer KENJI WU. The other's the star of movie-hit Harold & Kumar JOHN CHO

Lers craving for the week: Haagen-Dazs Rum & Raisin ice cream- Its flavorful taste added a tip of sweetness to my mouth,yummy!!!

Lers dream-painted clock: The one-of-a-kind Nutime art clocks that function as both artwork and timepiece. These are designed by artists in the US and hand-painted in Shanghai.

oh yes we love gossip

Oh Yes We Love Gossip.......





While not everyone is willing to admit, everybody loves a juicy piece of gossip. Having banked on that, Gossip Girl is now one of this season's biggest TV hits. Set in Manhattan's Upper East Side, Gossip Girl is about the lifestyle of affluent prep school students who go about their luxurious daily routine with popularity, fame, scandal and most importantly, gossip, enshrouding their lives. To make the series even more interesting, it is narrated by the seemingly omniscient Gossip Girl (voice by Kristen Bell), who runs a blog abt her fellow Upper East Siders, constantly stirring the plot and creating potential rivalries in this exclusive and vicious circle of frens. Based on Cecily von Ziegesar's best selling novels, the teen drama is not only packed with enough twists and turns to keep our head spinning, but has a gorgeous young cast (Chace Crawford yeah!!)chockfull of fresh faces.

how to wear summer black tie

How to Wear Summer Black Tie





RELAXED-You don’t have to deviate much from the classic tuxedo to get a look that skews less formal. Aim for easy elegance—easy being the operative word. Skip the tie, unbutton your collar, and add a simple white pocket square.

ICONIC-A pale-pink tuxedo jacket with black lapels echoes the glamour of forties Hollywood (picture Cary Grant in a white one). Modernize the relaxed-formal look with an icy-blue pleated shirt—hold the tie—and slim-cut black pants.

KHAKI-If your tan suit is in heavy rotation after Memorial Day, its dressier counterpart will be similarly indispensable. Have on hand a tan polished-cotton tuxedo with peak lapels, tab-front trousers, and a crisp white shirt, and no summer event will ever present a wardrobe conundrum.

DENIM-You can still make use of the traditional tuxedo during flip-flop season—just mix it with your favorite pair of broken-in jeans. Keep the top classic—one-button jacket, bow tie—and stick with elegant patent-leather lace-ups.

COLOR-A powder-blue shirt with fine pleats gives a sober black tuxedo an irreverent, appropriately summery edge. For an evening wedding, add a slim silk bow tie—but skip the cummerbund.

ending of week no.16

Lers mood for the week: Busy with Joy. Another young celebs couple split up-the former couple was caught out for dinner in Manhattan last November. Chace Crawford and Carrie Underwood made such an comparable couple....It was told that Crawford often hit the nightlife scene without her, yet friend of Crawford says his flirting were exaggerated. Girls would throw themselves at him, but he never did anything. Another report also stated that it all went wrong with Carrie as she couldn't stand a guy who is younger and sooooo Metrosexuals...Whatever the truth behind i hope they can get back together...

Lers movie of the week: Street Kings-Meet Tom Ludlow(Keanu Reeves), an expressionless, tough-as-nails veteran LAPD officer who will not hesitate putting a bullet in ur head. When his ex-partner is killed in front of his eyes, he sets his sights on tracking down the killers at all cost, with guns blazing of course. With the backing of his boss Captain Wander(Forest Whitaker) who covers up Tom's deadly trails and Tom teams up with rookie cop(Chris Evans) to bring the murderers to justice. Ladies!!! Meet the hunks of tomorrow, all neatly stuffed into this Hollywood blockbuster.

Lers record of the week: Mariah Carey-E=MC2: Pop goddess Mariah Carey scaled Olympian height with her last album, 2005's Grammy-winning, 6 million selling The Emancipation of Mimi. Certainly, E=MC2 doesnt equal its predecessor. Still, this is a satisfying follow up, heavy on hip-hop flavoured midtempo jams(like the irresistible No.1 hit 'Touch My Body') and beat-driven ballads(best is the pretty,piano-laced 'I Stay in Love'). The disc occasionally strays from that formula on cuts like the churchy closer 'I Wish You Well'. But the highlight is 'Side Effects', the CD's darkest and most personal track,which seems to allude to her failed marriage to music exec Tommy Mottola.

Lers all time favourite: Cheer Chen-Sophisticated(2005): Cheer Chen, a chinese-indie pop singer with the looks of a magazine model came back with her 4th solo album. The taiwanese-composer singer wrote all the tracks on her album. The girl is more than capable of strumming and guitar picking while hitting the high notes and showcasing that breathy, angelic voice of hers to perfection. While cheer shows off her voice with ease, i think most of her lovely-dovey tunes are rather undistinguished. Her best bet is to experiment with more layers on her tracks and upping the beats or she'll risk sounding like Penny or Mavis Fan. Yet, this is one of those albums that's breezy with lots of feel-good moments to share albeit being slightly predictable. A solid album, i cant wait for her 5th album to be release later this year



Lers star strike:5stars *****

Lers craving for the week: CUPCAKES-Attention all cupcake or Hightea lovers. The store PAISLEY & CREAM located at CENTRAL CLARKE QUAY. They are having 1 for 1 cupcake promotion from 21-25 Apr, a purchase up to 6 cupcakes per customer, so hurry before the promotion ends!!!!

Lers seeing double: Celebrities who look alike and no one seems to know why. One's the lead in local movie industry QI YU WU, the other's the contestant of Channel U variety You Are the One ZHENG JIANFENG

Lers dream-sleeping spot: Capsule Inn Akihabara-located in Tokyo; the tiny and non-spacious cabin is barely larger than a coffin. It's an ideal accommodation for backpackers and working adults who are lazy to return home after work. Also for people like me who love and kept wondering how is like sleeping in the coffin hahaha.

my little pet

My Little Pet



I'm mobbed with work!!! I missed those days when i enjoy the sun and swim, when i heartedly-laugh out loud in the theatre and when i talk the most during dinner. Things had been changing around me and i believe i've got to go thru all before getting on the right track....I want to shed off my load or at least share it with someone;often the clamorous voice inside me were protesting. I'm so far away from relieve......
The above picture is delicated to MR WINSTON CHOO CAI MIN, officially he's my pet bird now haha for whatsoever reason this almost famous bird had a 3 sec flash-blink scene towards the end of the movie FORBIDDEN KINGDOM. So everyone say HI to my new pet!!!

mile-high dining

Mile-High Dinner





In a dizzying new twist on high-end cuisine, Belgian entrepreneur David Ghysels offers a meal to remember: six courses(including a seafood platter) served by a chef and three waiters on a platform suspended 160 feet above the ground by a crane. Dinner in the sky, with operations in Europe and South Africa, charges its mainly corporate clients around $38,000 for a seating for 22, including wine. So fasten your seat belts, ladies and gentlemen, dinner is served.

Lers mood for the week: Averagely happy. On the latest episode of American Idol,i'm disappointed that Michael Johns;one of my favourite among all had been exit out from his idol's dream...damn it!! He's the competition's alpha male: hunky,talented and just plain charismatic. Girls love him, guys want to be him. His version of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' had since won my heart..So now i really hope the remaining 3 guys left on stage will hopefully *crossfinger* be the final 3 for this season otherwise i shall set the remote on hand....OFF

Lers record of the week: Gnarls Barkley-The Odd Couple: Were it not for the success of 'Crazy'--the insanely catchy hit that propelled Gnarls Barkley to platinum sales and 2 Grammys for their 2006 debut, St.Elsewhere--the collaboration between singer Cee-Lo Green and producer Danger Mouse might have been just a one -off project.Thankfully it wasn't. The Odd Couple shows that the pop world would be a lot more boring without this twisted twosome.While there's nothing here as genius as 'Crazy', it's another trippy journey into psychedelic soultronica. Highlights include 'Run (I'm a Natural Disaster)', the speedy,shimmying first single. Who's Gonna Save My Soul', a gritty,gospel-infused plea and 'Whatever', on which these outsiders connect with the alienated teenager inside

Best track: 'Surprise'-hand-clapping,60's grooving euphoria

Lers movie of the week: The Leap Years- I only manage to catch leap years on monday,kind of late but is always better than i missed it right haha...A beautifully drafted movie,it tells a tale of Li-Ann(Wong Li-Lin),a dreamer and a strong believer in the soulmate theory.That's until she meets Jeremy(Ananda), and it's love at first sight. The couple spend their 'honeymoon' period touring Chinatown on 29 Feb 1980. And as all fantasies play out,Li-Ann gets her heart broken when Jeremy confesses that he's married. He decides to make it up to her by meeting her at the same time,same place,every leap year. This affair spans a period of 20 years until they realise that in order to fulfil one another's desires,they have to take a leap of faith.

Lers funny-bonny movie of all time: She's The Man(2006),starring Amanda Bynes, Channing Tatum and Robert Hoffman- Viola, played by the lovable but slightly annoying Amanda Bynes,is a big soccer-maniac. Imagine her devastation when her soccer team was cut from school!! In order to continue playing, Viola disguises herself as her twin brother, and takes his place at his new boarding school for two weeks. Things go smoothly until she falls in love with her new roommate,Duke! And to make matters worse,Viola is so convincing as a man that the beautiful Olivia gets a crush on her! And to complicate things even more, Viola's twin brother finally turns up. Haha this's definitely a movie that tickles my funny bones....

Funny-striker: 5STARS*****

Lers mood for the week: The lonesome & unhappiness had gradually declined..The next phrase of life are just right ahead of me or perhaps not. I'm now living in 2 different zones,one divine me away from reality yet another draw me closer to it...I'm sorry for all the neglection occured, this might not be the right time to express myself but still i'm glad those who had supported me and lead me tactically. Thanks so much!!

Lers movie of the week-The Bucket List: Two eldery men, both cancer patients with a yr left to live, go on a madcap bender of all the things they want to do before they die (Indeed, the movie's title refers to the list of things they want to do before 'kicking the bucket'.) It's a potentially dull premise until you find that the old geezers are played by none other than Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, doyens of cinema comedy. The world tour that ensures makes no pretense of actually having been filmed on location: their stops at the Taj Mahal and the Pyramids are clearly no more than a little soundstage trickery. Also, Freeman and Nicholson will undoubtedly be the most robust final-stage cancer patients you'll ever seen in reel-life or real-life. But as road trip movies go,this one serves up the poignancy and slapstick admirably.

Lers record of the week: Once a musician, always a musician. Kenji proves he still make market-like,funny and humourous tunes in his fourth self-composed album that can either (a)put u to sleep or (b)have u singing along. The 1st single 'Poem for You' definitely stands out with it 'Twinkle twinkle little star' as opening melody,together with its rhythmic lyrics, soon it gonna hit the KTV chart. Also, look out for his soppy song dedications to all those-in-love! (the song 'hold hold hold hands')Awwww.....am i a sucker for his sentimental crooners? Remember 'General Order' and all his happy strumming from 'Big Tongue'? Unlike his previous album, poem takes on a less sunny outlook and looks at the darker and more political side of life. In the track 'My Legend', he laments abt his sadlistic life before hitting the trone as a top male singer. It's difficult not to love him with that track. The album should grow on you with each subsequent listen. Whilst the former cheeky looks at more serious issues, warm and drifting melodies still abound.





Lers all time favourite: Wang LeeHom-UNBELIEVABLE (2003): On Unbelievable, Lee Hom gives us more of the straight-up honky-tonk and working class ballads he's been delivering since his 1995 debut. The track 'Ya Birthday' and 'Boyfriend' is a stomping tongue twister abt an average Joe who's looking to blow off some steam after punching the clock all week,while first single 'Love is all around' is a touching,fiddle-laced tale of a man whom desiration for world-peace and a simple, God-fearing life. For those who admired his numerous wording of rap 'Love Love Love' wont fail to fulfill u. At some 30mins, Unbelievable is a bit of a long haul. But with material this solid, it's pretty easy to lay back and enjoy the rest.









Best Track: 'You Not There'-a beautifully composed hom-styled ballad

Lers Star Strike: 4 stars ****

Lers craving for the week: Chilli Crab

Lers dream-rack: Piola Pop, unscrewable pegs in 8 different colours on a semi-glossy lacquered board that can be left leaning against the wall or hung up

Piegato,holds up to 10kg and also as a magnet board

The hackey rack displays a pure white front without the graffiti and includes 2 large and small floor standing unit
