Blue Sky

Album: Shawn Colvin - These Four Walls

Just came back after chatted with some old friends for a whole night, I must admit that this was actually the first time did this, so thanks for the 2 of you for giving me such experience. Now I can understand why people can stay at mamak stall and what not and 8 about stuff till morning lol. Nice talking with you people, it's rare 3 girls chatting about the greatest movies and so on, it's been a long time since such topics appeared in conversation lol, I'll go and watch Lord of War and Memento if I really have the chance haha.....

Anyway, watched Curse of the Golden Flower (满城尽带黄金甲) the other day. 2 words to describe the graphics, GOLD + CLEVAGES, visually 'stunning' I should say. And it was in CANTONESE!!! WHATTHECK!!! Even Chow Yun Fat speaks chinese in the movie but why cantonese??? I only realised it 10 minutes before we entered the cinema. If I knew it I won't watch it for sure (blame myself for not reading newspaper zzz), rather switch it to the movie by Tony Leung and Kaneshiro Takeshi instead =/ As for the movie, Gong Li was superb (as usual, one of the best thing in the movie), Jay Chou, am I the only one who realised that he pouts alot? Can't take my eyes off his lips lol......I'm sure there are alot of cheaper + better acting skill actors around, maybe it's for publicity, gotta admit that at least he tried. The theme song was not bad though. Storyline wise it was quite interesting I should say, but I think I like Zhang Yimou's earlier works more, My Father and Mother, Hero heck I even kinda liked House of Flying Daggers (ok maybe all 3 of them got Zhang Zhiyi, sorry I'm biased, maybe I'll like it if the gong nu/ female servant was played by her LOL). It's just too OVER budget, and it doesn't mean that it's good. Just that for me I don't recall any 'memorable scenes' after stepping out from the cinema except the great acting by Gong Li and thought that the war scene was better than Eragon's lol. Just like the proverb Gold and jade on the outside, rot and decay on the inside ‘金玉其外,败絮其中’ quoted by Zhang YiMou, literally. Maybe it's just me.......seriously the 'best'movie I've seen in cinema this year will be The Prestige. Blame myself for picking those commercialised movie zzz......

After watching we stopped by The Guitar Store at Cheras. Since I just 'earned' 150 bucks for 'babysiting', thought of pampering my guitar and buy some accessories I wanted to buy long time ago. Ended up buying a Kyser Capo (expensive =/ ) and a cheap guitar stand. I'm gonna get guitar strap on my next visit because I saw the same strap that our dear YUI uses in that shop wahahah.....



Congrats on her for winning the Rookie of the Year award in The Japan Academy Awards (equivalent to the Oscar from what I heard) for the role in Taiyou no Uta. Didn't expect it at all well at least she got 100k from it lol. Total winners are 8. So no big deal actually just......she won something haha, better than nothing. So congrats~
*Still waiting impatiently for the freaking MSSP file to finish download*
