    My Movie Review

    Herbie Fully Loaded

    Synopsis
    Lindsay Lohan stars as Maggie Peyton, the new owner of Number 53 - the free-wheelin' Volkswagon bug with a mind of its own - and puts the car through its paces on the road to becoming a NASCAR® competitor. Herbie's got some new tricks under his hood.


    My Verdict
    Okay, so i don't really think it deserves all A+'s, but it is a pretty fun movie and it is silly but its a Herbie movie, what can you expect. All in all, not a super great movie but it is cool, funny, and Lindsay Lohan actually doesn't do a half bad job. Basically its just a fun time at the movies.

    Bewitched

    Synopsis
    Hot-shot actor Jack Wyatt, set to star as Darrin in a film version of the '60s TV series "Bewitched," finds his ideal Samantha in unknown actress Isabel, who just happens to be a witch in real life.

    My Verdict
    Bewitched is damn bad. The beginning of the movie is really boring and when the story reached the climax, there is nothing much to offer. As for acting, there really is not any bad acting in Bewitched - just nothing spectacular. Nicole Kidman gave a decent performance as Isabel and Will Ferrell in small doses like when he did sketches on SNL, those were often funny. In a full length movie like this one, I could not stand him. In a nutshell Bewitched deserve a C.

    Charlie and the chocolate factory

    Synopsis
    Charlie Bucket, a boy from an impoverished family under the shadow of a giant chocolate factory, wins a candy bar contest and is given a tour, along with four other children, of the amazing factory run by the eccentric Willy Wonka and his staff of Oompa-Loompas.

    My Verdict
    Ok, I have glanced over many of the review here, and some of the more negative ones seemd fixated on the fact that "it is not as good as the original" etc. However Charlie and the chocolate factory movie proved me wrong. Simply I love it. Johnny Depp really did a great job as Willy Wonka. There is also a lot of colour unexpected scene in the movie. I definitely love the chocolate factory and everything in it seems very sweet and edible. The story itself and much of the dialogue is straight from the book. The Oompa Loompa's songs ARE stright from the book..which was a nice touch for someone who has read it. Tim Burtons particular twisted style fits in perfectly with the images and situations that happen in the story. All in all, very nicely done, and for me, a definite A


    The Maid

    Synopsis
    THE MAID tells a horror story from Singapore. A Filipino maid, Rosa arrives to work in Singapore during the Seventh Month Hungry Ghost Festival and finds herself confronted by a strange and frightening foreign culture. Life turns into a nightmare when she is haunted by a mutilated boy & a faceless woman. To keep her job, the poor girl has to stifle her screams and fear...

    My Verdict
    As a great fan of horror movie, the maid really satisfied and uphold the scary standard. I thought it was just a normal plain ghost story, however practically I was shouting and got frighten most of the time. The movie reflects a lot on the local chinese culture and the lifestyle of many households dependent on maids, the filmmakers aim to produce a compelling horror movie against the unique Singapore backdrop and colour. It too has a very good story line and at the end of the movie there was an unexpected twist. Why The Maid deserves more than an A+? Coz, hehe this is the frist movie in Hokkien and I definitely love it.

    3 Days and 2 Nights Fun

    My cousin came down to Melaka on tuesday morning. It was really great to see my uncle, aunt and cousin after such a long time. What did we do? Hehe. Of course lots and lots of fun. In the afternoon, all of us watched Herbie together. Then later in the evening, we went to tesco and had the famous melaka satay celup for dinner. It had been months since I last ate. Definitely yummy! Next went to jaya jusco. Not bad! Kill 2 shopping complexes in one day :)

    On the second day, I brought my cousin to the hairdresser. We went there very early about 9.30pm to avoid the crowd. But it turned out that we were the first customer and end up waiting at door for 20 minutes just for one hair cut. Meanwhile in the afternoon my sister, cousin and I went to mahkota parade for shopping. We bought our cousin her birthday present. And we made the bravest decision to watch The Maid . Definitely a good horror movie. Hehe practically screaming and hugging her the whole time. At night my cousin and I watched 2 more movies- Bewitched + Charlie and the chocolate factory.

    Sad to say, all the fun times will definitely come to an end. Today we had to say goodbye to our beloved cousin. Goanna miss her so much.

    Holiday in Genting

    Finally, it had been a while since I last blog. Hehe, actually I went to Genting for holidays with 2 of my friends. I really had a great time. Thanks for all the fun we had. Sad to say, they will be leaving for UK soon. Wish them all the best and good luck in their studies.

    Day 1
    We arrived at Genting quite early, around 12pm. However still cannot check in hotel so we walked around the indoor theme park. We tried all the games but I loved bumper car and rio float the most. Practically played it so many times. Hehe until the person in charge of the rio float recognised us. Not bad right? We went to the snow world too. Really had such a fun time throwing snow balls.I love sliding down from the top of the hill ice. It was so cool.

    Gondola was a smooth ride. We were entertained by the gondolier who was singing all way long. We got the opportunity to throw coins on the wealth bell. Hope that our wishes would come true. At night, we went to the other side of the hotel. We played Daytona and time crisis. I think I am quite good at it :)

    Day 2
    On the second day we went to the outdoor theme park. Space shot was excellent. This was my second time trying it. The scariest part was when we were stuck at 185m high waiting for the tremendous drop. Once drop, I screamed till I was lost. I loved Cockscrew too. It really screwed me up. I felt myself flying out from the roller-coaster. Boating was one of my favourite activities too. Next we waited for the go-kart. However luck was not on our side. After waiting for nearly one hour, it started to rain heavily. So,they had to stop the thing. Hmm, I was quite frustrated but still happy coz got to spend precious time with my friend.

    We went back on that day itself bringing home sweet memories.

    COOL Huh?

    Teenagers are amazing,
    I wish the world would see,
    Just how beautiful we are,
    How compassionate we can be.

    I wish they could take back,
    All the cynical things they have said,
    And see how much we shine,
    Be positive instead.


    Remark on our radiant smiles,
    And the differences we make,
    All of the people our lives touch,
    All of the chances that we take.

    Notice how we change,
    Each and every day,
    Wanting to leave childhood,
    Yet desperately wanting to stay.

    I wish they could remember,
    How tough our lives can be,
    The promises that is broken,
    The violence that we see.

    Yet still we venture onward,
    Unsure of where the road may lead,
    Hoping they will take notice,
    Hoping they will take heed,
    Of the changes that we have made,
    Of the power that we hold,
    Of the wisdom we have hidden,
    Of the stories yet untold.

    I hope the world will notice,
    What some have already seen,
    Teenagers are amazing people,
    Striving to follow their dreams.

    Teenagers

    A friend knows trust
    A friend brings warmth
    A friend is always there
    To shower happiness and love


    A friend is helpful
    In our studies, in our fears
    A friend understands in every way
    In whatever we do or say

    Sharing secrets, jokes, laughter, tears
    Wherever we go
    That is just the kind
    Of special friend
    That can be found in you.


    "HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY!"
