New Moon the movie

I had wanted to post this for several days ago but due to technical glitches (I dont know how to download the pic from my ehem ... new phone) that I had to postpone it until I figure out the how-to.

After days of anticipating, it finally here. I've received 2 passes to the premier screening from a colleague who knows I'm a fan of both the books and the previous Twilight movie. And for New Moon the movie... I luurvvvee it!!! No doubt everytime Edward or Jacob appeared .. or did something .. or even something happened to them on screen, you can hear the girls when aawww.. ahhh.. omg!! ... etc. Which was quite comical actually. The were many Team Jacob fans who came for the premier show (judging from the gushes everytime he appeared on screen) and there were even Team Volturi fans who came complete with their costume. Black cape and all. Ha!ha! But in all honesty Volturi's wears such lavish attire. I'm talking Twilight's language here. But what's not so good about it was that all 3 kissing scenes were chopped off by I presume our censorship board to appear shorter. Can you believe it - they sensored kissing scenes. Hmm ... Nevertheless I'm so glad that Chris Weizt (the director) is genius enough to let Edward appear more often on screen to satisfy the Edward-thirst vampire fans. Unlike in the book. Okay enough said.

I'm happy to say that my hubby enjoyed the movie too ^_^ He's interest is of cos towards Alice (the cutest vampire) which I totally am okay with. I'm sooo greatful that he want to see the movie with me, knowing how obssesed I am with the books.

Bottom line is he didnt doze off like he did in Angels and Demon. And for that I'm thankful. Oh I cant wait for the third movie - Eclipse.

Hong Kong pics - final

These are the final pics of my recent trip. Our last day in HK was spent at Bauhinia Square, Sampan (small boat) ride and at this beach where Jackie Chan has one of his house on top of the hill.

Later in the evening we took a ferry to Zhuhai, China where another shopping iterinary awaits us. Phew! The city is literary across the road from Macau! But we didnt get to see much of Macau except for on our way to its airport the next day. Nevertheless on that short bus ride I got to see about 5-6 of the tiny country's 33 casinos.

Hong Kong pics part 2

Second day was dedicated to shopping, Disneyland and more shopping. Although it looked like we (hubby and me) spent a lot of time at HK Disneyland but actually we didnt. I think we stayed for about 2 hrs in there and left the rest of the group to venture on our own. Armed with train maps and comfy Crocs we find our own way to HK busy, hip and happening shops and places. I think that was fun. We had no idea where we were everytime we dropped off from the train but just walked and enjoyed ourselves and just making sure we have enough change to take the train back.

Hong Kong - pics part 1

Finally I am back in the bloggersphere after (was it 3 weeks?) hiatus. I have no idea why. These are pics of my short visit to Hong Kong. Fun Madame Tussauds and breathtaking view of Victoria Peak were the agendas. Both hubby and me had so much fun taking silly poses at MT. I am sorting out pics for part 2. So keep watching for that one. Btw, the above fridge magnet made it to number 91 on my fridge :)

I love the way you're breakin my heart by Nicki Parrott

I'm going away for the next 4 days to HK. But before I do, I'm posting this beautiful song (I think originally sang by Peggy Lee) but an equally good rendition here by Nicki Parrott. I think you will enjoy it too.
Till then. Ta da.

Team Edward

26 days and counting before New Moon the movie hits the theatre.
I am sooo looking forward to see this. Although New Moon is my least favourite book in the series (I came to the conclusion after reading all 4 books in the series) but who in her right(or crazy) mind ignore Edward Cullen especially on silver screen? He's like the James Dean of vampires. That's the reason of why this book became my least favourite bcos Edward only appear in the beginning and at the end. But when he does ... all hell freezes over!!
But until then 25, 24, 23 ... *sigh*

Chick flick movies

Last weekend was the last week of Syawal, meaning people were rushing to hold their open houses and inviting friends and relatives. We had 3 invitations in one Saturday afternoon. Needless to say, at the last house we showed up out of courtesy but couldn't eat much. I did eat a bit although I was really fulled as not too offend the host.

Back to the post title. Although I can't stand book of the same genre but movies fortunately or not (depends) I can. Most often than not, I dont indulge myself in watching TV (prefer book instead) but when I do watch ... oh boy I can go on and on! Case in point, last weekend where I took advantage of the long Diwali weekend holidays and watched 3 movies of the said genre. It nearly went to four titles if I didnt stop myself from watching Nottinghill ... again. My brain has become fuzzy and mushy due to love stories overload ... but I enjoyed it all ^_^ Below are the cute movies according to sequence - watched by yours truly.
