Hi Guys!
Just came back from watching X-Men Origin: Wolverine with my collegues.
My review is: A fantastic movie!
I Simply love it!
The effect was great,
the actors and actresses were great,
the storyline was fantastic!
Actually nothing much occurred lately... There was only 2 major happenings, one was the Shangri La buffet, the other one was Andrew's 'engagement' party...Lol
The Shangri La buffet will be a feast for seafood lovers, the oysters were really fresh, and the prawns were HUGE! There were crabs as well, but as you guys know, I'm not a seafood person.
The only seafood I took was the sashimi. Oh My God. The sashimi was BRILLIANT!!!! It was chewy and soft! I could taste the sea! The next dish i took was the roti- prata which was okay.. I had my eyes on the choco fondue and cake stand the moment I stepped into the place, i it did not disappoint mi! It was overall quite a treat!
As for Andrew's 'engagement' party, my favourite was Amanda's secret recipe cheesecake! It's so yummy she can open a shop! I wonder where I can get another slice... Mwahaha...
The 'engagement' started with a prize presentation and ended with some bondind games... After that the rest of us went home...AH. Photos Time!!!! Here are my collegues: CUTE ChengYang, Pretty Mei Wei, and baker Amanda!

Really Tired...

Aloha GUYS!!!!!
Have been working till late night lately cause there is really a lot of things to be done...
Finally today I was able to leave a bit earlier and actually see the sun!
Haha... Nothing much happened lately... Just that I finally managed to find the patience to paint my nails white...
Been to Pasir Panjang Hill Brethren Church's Blast Party last sat, it was rather fun actually, though i didn't really join in...
But I realised though i am an attention seeker, I only like to seek the attention of people i know, but if i get the attention of total strangers, i feel like poking my head into a hole so they won't see me... Seriously, don't you feel like an alien?
Ah well... Anyway, here's a thanks to WeiRen for inviting mi to his church!!! Will update you guys on my life once there is an update^^
Ciao!

Although he is really mean, he's true to Lily Evans to the very end...
I like his dedication in love,
And how he played double agent.
As an extra note, I love him even more when Alan Rickman was depicting him...
He's really a great actor as he manage to portray Snape as some more even more interesting in the movie.
His scene though short, are always captivating...
Alan Rickman has a charm when depicting Severus Snape that makes it almost impossible to move your eyes away when he comes onto the screen...
His every movement gives out elegance, true to his name as the Half Blood Prince...
Alan Rickman did a great job with all the expression...
Even a cold expression that Snape always wears on his face, there's a lot of emotions going on in his black eyes...
His voice is eerily soothing...
LOVE YOU SNAPE!!!!!!

Corpse Bride
Wonderful storyline, nice clash of colours and out of the world imagination put to work.
I love the songs, I love the bride (I believe she was named Emily), the groom Victor, the spiders in the underworld and the maggot in Emily's eyes.
The songs are catchy and meaningful, just like the Omppa Lumpas' songs in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The way how Victor went from being afraid of Emily to falling in love. The way he went from wanting to escape from the Land Below back to the Land of the Living, to how he could bear to leave.
The way the spiders put life across in the song "Tears to Shed" when Emily was heart-broken that Victor had lied to her. "Everybody knows that's just a temporary state, which is cured very quickly when we met our fate!" the spider sung when Emily said that she couldn't compare to Victoria who "still breathes there".
I especially loved that part where Emily sacrificed herself so that the man that she loves, Victor, could be with a girl "worthy" of him, Victoria.
There's only two things I didn't like in the movie
Victoria, and the fact that Emily turned into hundred of butterflies after she sacrificed herself for Victor...
Eww... I almost screamed out in fear when the hundred of butterflies appeared on the movie screen, looking all too ready to pop out of the screen all thanks to 3D technology...
Hotel Rwanda
This is a movie based on the true account of one of the most horrifically ugly events in recent history, when the Hutu extremists of Rwanda initiated a terrifying campaign of genocide, massacring hundreds of thousands of minority Tutsis (who had been given power by the departed Belgian colonists), while the rest of the world looked on and did nothing.
The truth factor was what make this movie really attractive for me. The touching effect of the idea that the main character Paul was able to display such courage in the face of adversity just multiply with the fact that this was an true account of a great man whose couragous acts saved many others.
When the European guests and staff were all flown away from Rwanda, all that were left was just Paul Rusesabagina and a couple of the local staff.
Not only was he able to think fast on his feet to think of ways to save all the lives that lies in the very hotel that he lives in, he did not give up hope when people whom he trusted to help them disappointed him time and again. The local police that Paul always worked with no longer wants to be involved in helping to save the many refugees that the hotel was putting up. The rebels threatened to enter the hotel at any minute, everyone was scared out of their wits.
The UN did nothing to help but just took care of their own Euporean brothers and sisters, leaving behind the helpless refugees in a dangerous situation. With the backing of the United Nations gone, Paul and his many refugees found themselves to be danger constantly. Paul was only left with a mind and no military backing to work with. In the movie, he made used of human sympathy to try to get people in helping them. He requested individuals in the hotel whom had contacts with influential westerners to call them up.
As quoted from his lines, "Call them up, say your goodbyes to them. And when you say goodbye to them, make sure that you make it sounds like you are reaching out through the phones to hold their hands. Make them feel that if they let go of that hand, we will die. We will SHAME them into helping us." The tatic worked and soon, help arrived from the United Nation.
Overall, this is one of the few shows that can get me crying almost through half of the show. And if you had watched this movie before, personally, I feel that the most impact-ful part of the show was when Paul and his staff were driving in a foggy area. The ride suddenly turned very bumpy, and Paul said, "Oh my, you have driven off the road!" HIs companian replied that, "I'm very sure I'm still in the road!" And Paul frantically answered, "Stop the car! You are going to drive us into the river!" But when he got out of the car to investigate, he came to realised that they were indeed still on the road. HOwever, the road was now littered with the bodies of the murdered Tutsis. They were actually driving over the bodies, that was what made the ride very bumpy. The whole impact of the scene was terrific.

People always say Scorpios are very mysterious
I agree
Scorpio THE SCORPION- the sign of Transformation
Scorpio's are intense and have an ability to wait a very long time before they take action to put right a wrong
Scorpio are known not to forgive or forget easily- Someone ho had been in the war path of a scorpion is probably off somewhere still licking the wounds as this particular star sign is notorious for their fiery temper
Learnt enough about Scorpios? Here's my favourite is the following:
Scorpio never forgets a gift or a kindness, and it's richly rewarded. Conversely, he also remembers an injury or an injustice, but there are different ways of reacting
The eagle will crush the enemy so the enemy learns never to hurt him again, win the fight, and leave the defeated to go his own way
The deadly nocturnal scorpion will first sting, then plan destruction, then sting again. He's not content with merely evening the score. He must totally destroy the enemy, or at least top him
The typical scorpion stinger will lie awake nights figuring how to get even. These scorpions are seldom content with forcing the shoe on the other foot to teach enemies how it feels. They glue the sandal on with cement
Scary huh? Now you know not to step on my tail...HEHEHE...^^
sometimes people aren't going to trust you,
and it may be for no reason at all.
sometimes, people just judge you on what they think you will do,
on who they think you are.
and there's really nothing you can do about it.
but just remember one thing,
they're not cheating you, they're cheating themselves.
