i juz watched "Curse of the Golden Flower" [满城尽带黄金甲] and i think the show was good. Afterall, it garnered 4.5/5 stars by many movie critics. And if im not wrong, it's the most expensive chinese movie. But seems like some of my friends don't really like it though..
.
This poignant story was set during the Tang Dynasty and i really admire the grandness of the palace facade and interior. It was all so impressive and 'whoaa'-ful. And also the scenes of majestic batallions of soldiers. And how the international movie superstars Chow Yun Fatt and Gong Li outdo each other in the power struggle. And how it all ended tragically.
.
And the movie theme song, 菊花台 is nice too. I didnt quite understand the song when it first came out in Jay Chou's album in August. Now i can fully understand how the name of the song came about, and so i appreciate this song much better now. Actually, in Jay's newest album, 菊花台 is my top favourite song in the first place.

After the movie, as usual, i had a chat with wx. Frankly speaking, it's always satisfying to chat with him, cos more often than not, he'll speak my mind. And this isnt the first time though. Looks like sometimes we do ponder over similar stuff..
Talking about him, i just dun understand why is he ever so lucky to call into 933 EVERYTIME!! haha, and he just dialled in again. But at least he remembers to mention my name on air.. Thanks.

Anyway, tmr's Christmas Eve, and i'll be spending it onboard ship. Though i'll feel that i'll miss out on alot of the excitement that happens elsewhere, the sian-ness isn't too big, cos in the first place, Christmas isn't that a significant day for me. It is more of a chance to gather around with friends, and i'll be gathering with my jc class on the 25th, which doesn't fall on my duty day. Im thankful enough already.

So to all you accidental passers-by to my blog here, here's wishing you HAPPY HOLIDAYS and enjoy this long weekend..
人生是黑白的.
