Dirty Laundry?
 

I was at Chinatown the other day and was horrified to see rows of pink colour bed sheets hanged across the entire street! How did anyone allow the drying of dirty laundry publicly? Or was it some “Let’s wash our bed sheets together campaign”?

Then I realised…. It’s actually the decoration for the coming Chinese New Year. Oh GOD! Wat an ugly decoration!

Scissor Sisters - I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’

This is sad

Reading ppl’s blog

I read abt lost frendships… broken ones… forgotten ones…

N think abt mine… not that I hav many… but just that one…

I wan to ask… since when has it been like that?

But then again… I’m sure we all know…

It was a long time ago innocent frendship turned into smth uglier…

When the word ‘jealously’ was discovered…

At first, u n me… it didn’t work out well at all

Not at all

We were both so used to the idea of u being the natural leader

I was happen to follow ur lead, content to do wadever u wan to do

Then as we get older… things change

Not that I wan them to…

I discoverd my own identity… started being myself

N u felt lost… cuz I dun seem to need u anymore

But did u know I was lost too?

I had no idea how to get back a frend who didn’t behave like my frend

I know of all the ugly parts… all the hurtful things that happened behind my back

U may not mean it… maybe it was just spite…

But I was so confused, so so confused

I didnt believe u would do smth like that to me

I tried… but again n again I got hurt

Then I gave up

I decided that I should fight back

I decided that I should stop thinking of u as my frend

It wasn’t easy… cuz we bonded so easily everytime

But I hardened my heart.. n slowly, I learnt to stop caring

Stop asking, stop wanting to be wif u

I lost that frenship…

N I know it wouldnt come back

But I always had the support of the other you

The other one that I grew really close too

Our promises of not quarrelling wif each other

I know I left u alone when u prob needed me most

I know I failed as a frend to u

But I always tot our frenship was strong enuf

Cuz our foundation was built so strongly rite from the start

Then I knew I cant take things for granted

I know that frendships are like plants

It withers away

N just like that u wither away from me

Like dry rot, death slowly creeping aroun dus

But I didnt realise cuz I was too caught up in my own world

I never knew u left, never knew it was jus an empty shell I see

I still arrange to meet u, go out for outings

Attempt to resume that natural closeness of our frenship

But smth was already spoilt

U were affected by other factors

Stuff that tainted ur image of me

U cant cope with me as ur fren

N me being the frend of ur the other frend

U cant accept me for all I have done

So u put on a facade, going out wif me

When all u wanted inside was to just leave

Cuz it made u so uncomfortable

But did I know?

No

I went along happily, thinking how nice it is

How easily things fell into place

But I was wrong.

Yet again.

U never did forgive me for all I did

So cold wars started n ended

N started n ended

N admist all of it

I got so tired, so tired of complying to u

N I hardened my heart again

I chose to let u go

I lost that frenship

I lost too much, gave up too much, I wan them back, wan to return to when we all were happy, laughing at each other, tasting the great restaurants, doing things that we alone will never do. I wan that essence
back now.

Blood Diamond

Set against the backdrop of the chaos and civil war that enveloped 1990s Sierra Leone, “Blood Diamond” is the story of Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio), a South African mercenary, and Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou), a Mende fisherman. Both men are African, but their histories and their circumstances are as different as any can be—until their fates become joined in a common quest to recover a rare pink diamond that can transform their lives.

While in prison for smuggling, Archer learns that Solomon—who was taken from his family and forced to work in the diamond fields—has found and hidden the extraordinary rough stone. With the help of Maddy Bowen (Jennifer Connelly), an American journalist whose idealism is tempered by a deepening connection with Archer, the two men embark on a trek through rebel territory. More than a search for a valuable diamond, the journey could save Solomon’s family and give Archer the second chance he thought he would never have.

Blood Diamond loses its way at times, but the power and tragedy of civil war, of greed and tainted motives, is undeniable.

Apocalypto

Apocalypto takes place five hundred years in the past during the end of the decline of the great Mayan empire. The action starts in the jungle, as a small group of innocent villagers face the wrath of a corrupt and religious-touting empire. In one swift movement, a band of invaders sweep through their village and capture or kill all of the men and women. The captives are then sent on a trek through the jungle and finally to a place they’ve never even dreamt of before, a place of large stone temples, industry and religious zealots. There they are sold into slavery or sent for sacrifice. But one man, Jaguar Paw, knows his pregnant wife is still out in the jungle and will die if he does not return to her. Though injured, he manages to escape, but followed by several armed hunters his chances of survival or slim.

As a movie, Apocalypto is extremely good, but not perfect! Mel Gibson does a very good job of developing several of his characters quickly, but the emotional connection to those characters seemed to be lacking a little bit by the time they inevitably die. The only characters we really care about are Jaguar Paw and his wife; everyone else is just fodder.

As for reports that Apocalypto is too violent and even more bloody than The Passion of the Christ, I don’t know what people are talking about. Yes, the movie is violent, but no more so than others. I was expecting something much gorier in the movie.

Although, Apocalypto is not Mel Gibson’s best movie, but a Mel Gibson movie is still much better than 98% of other films that come out in a given year. Easily his most ambitious movie to date, Apocalypto, regardless of its historical accuracy, gives the Mayan empire some rare exposure and audiences one of the year’s most exciting and suspenseful movies. Whatever you think of Gibson as a person, this is a movie that should be seen on the big screen.

A thrilling tale of survival and love and dedication in a world we’ve never seen on movie, produced with lavish respect for and attention to honoring that world… If you choose out to hand to miss it, which is your right, you’ll be missing something.

Pan’s Labyrinth

Spain, 1944. Officially, the Civil War has been over for five years, but a small group of rebels fights on unbroken in the northern mountains of Navarra. Dreamy 10-year-old Ofelia moves to Navarra with her delicate, pregnant mother Carmen, to become acquainted with her new stepfather, Captain Vidal, a Fascist officer under orders to rid the territory of rebels. Ofelia, who is fascinated by fairy tales, discovers an overgrown, tumbledown labyrinth behind the mill. In the heart of the labyrinth she meets Pan, an ancient satyr who claims to know her true identity and her secret destiny. But first, she must complete three tasks before the moon grows full. And no one must know: not her ailing mother, or her new friend, Mercedes. Time is running out, for Ofelia and for the rebels. Both will have to battle hardship and cruelty in order to gain their freedom. But, who can be trusted in a time of lies and danger?

Is Pan telling the truth…? And if not, who is?

Pan’s Labyrinth is one of those films that’s so moving, heatbreaking and heartbreaking and wonderfully haunting, you sigh when the end credits roll.

Loose

Nelly Furtado - Promiscuous

So 2006 is over.
What a year.
I have been through my lowest
and highest points in life.
Appreciated the beauty of true friendship
and understood what real friends really mean.

Took part in competitions, performances
and the resulting disappointment and euphoria
becomes part and parcel of it.
Shopped like MAD.
Bought loads of clothes, bags & shoes…
and my own bday present:
that T & Co. Ring.
Still haven figured out the art of budgeting
but I suppose I will learn.

Had my heart broken and broken
and lost and confused…
and mend and complete.
Spent the most time I ever did
on projects and works
and suddenly, its all over.
What a year.

Did I regret any of it?
I hate to admit, but I do.
Some parts I wish, that never happened.
But then there are others,
that make the year worthwhile.

Happy New Year people,
its another new beginning!
