LOVE CUTS 《割爱》

Overview from Yahoo:
In Singaporean drama "Love Cuts", a 40-year-old mother of two (Zoe Tay) struggles with terminal breast cancer. It's touted as not only a poignant and moving portrayal of the challenges she faces as a result of her diagnosis, but also of how she inspires and changes the lives of the people around her. Also starring Hong Kong's Kenny Ho. Directed by Gerald Lee and scripted by Danny Yeo and Lee Shyh Jih. This movie receives the backing of Singapore's Health Promotion Board.

Many thanks to OMY.SG for the preview tickets to Love Cuts! :D

Initially, I wasn't interested in this movie at all. That's because....
#1. How great can a Singapore Film be?
#2. It is a Breast Cancer film right? Zoe Tay is only good at acting as Rich Tai-Tais and Gambles. Her previous auntie role in 不凡的爱 was horrible.
#3. I heard that the film was heavily funded by many authorities. I guessed the probably will have lots of advertisement in the show....

My Mother was keen in the show for I-dont-know what reason, so I sent in my particulars to omy.sg, hoping to get a pair of tickets.

I can say that the movie was really not what I expected!
#1. It was a good show, I must admit.
#2. Well, Zoe Tay can take on miserable roles too! I could really feel the connection with her.
#3. eh.. I never see much advertisements in the entire film. Only ONCE! Where they purposely showed NEW MOON rice and chicken essence. haha
Furthermore...
I think that the cast was Fantastic! Christy Yow spiced up the entire movie with her Body! Guys and Girls! IF you wanna see some flesh from Allan Wu and Christy Yow, Watched IT!

The feelings and emotions of a Breast Cancer patient wasn't well portrayed. Instead it is the bond within the family and friendship that touched many of our hearts. ( I could hear sniffing in the theater. )

Catch the Movie! It's worth your ticket price!
I give 4/5 stars! plus 0.5 for it being a Singapore Film! :D

So, yea. I attended the movie preview with my Mother. Not as if I've got no friends but I hope that after the show, she will go from a health screening and check if she is fine. We all know Breast Cancer is the NUMBER1 killer for women in Singapore. I wouldn't want to see my precious one suffering in the future.

Aftershock!

-Movie Preview!

I would like to thank OMY.sg for giving me the preview tickets for this movie. Appreciates Appreciates. :D

When I knew that I have been selected to attend the Movie Preview of Aftershock , I thought that it was a lousy show. Why? Because I'm such a low profile blogger and if it's the HIT show, they would definitely give the precious ticket to some other bloggers with much more hits a day so as to advertise the movie.

So, Jovan and Jovan watched it together. Take a look at the trailer!

So, basically the show is about the Tangshan Earthquak which happened in 1976. It is to commemerate the catastrophe whictook away many innocent lives. You may think this is a Documentary, but NO! The movie circles around a family who had been largely affected by the disaster. Despite the story being a fiction, it was a really touching one. It touched the hearts of many in the cinema, I could hear sniffings of sadness.

Anyway...

-There was ALMOST a sex scene at the beginning of the show. Hmmm. Don't know why the director put it it...

-The scene of the earthquake was GREAT! Realistic~ So real that I thought I was there at the scene.

-The actors were GREAT! (They had to delivered a mixture of feelings in many scenes... :( )

-There were MANY Mr. Mao ZheDong. It happened during the Communist China period. It kinda allow me to reate back to my knowledge of history.

I shall SPOIL the movie a lil bit...

The earthquake had caused many people to die tragically. The family of four lost their Father. Their Mother survived but her Son and Daughter were trapped under the thick layers of rubble. As the salvation of one would lead to death of another. The Mother had to make a important decision. A decision of saving either the Son or the Daughter... ....

Guess who she chose?! Amazingly, the poor Mother managed to reunite with her two kids after over 20years. What happened during the 20years?

WATCH IT and YOU WILL KNOW!

(Remember to prepare some tissue papers during the show cos one Jovan cried many times... :P)

HINT HINT! More previews please~

All I want for Christmas...

Christmas is APPROACHING! :D

SENTOSA!

The previous time I went to Sentosa, I visited the GIANT Merlion, luge and also the Tiger turning-turning tower. THANKS to Zaid :D

Today, it was BEACH! I totally love the Sun :) There's always a different type of fun you get when you go to places with different groups and combination of people. :)

We went to Sentosa early early early in the morning, about 10, and there wasn't much people there except for one on man at beach. We chose such a good spot and had lots of fun :)

Jovan. Tara. Delbert. Nikhil. Benedict. Phillip.

I LOVE THE SUN!
but not on my face...

Amazingly, it wasn't my first time playing at the beach in Sentosa but it was my first time taking a shower there today. The design of the shower cubicle is quite good and the toilet facility would be A* if they would be able to provide soap and towels. :D

ByeBye.

8days 1000th

I consider myself as an 8-days addict, my entire body will feel uncomfortable when I miss an issue of it or even get it a few days after its being made available in newsstands. It had became part of my life :D

8-days was first exposed to me about 5, 6years ago. My aunt would always have a copy of 8-days magazine and the curious little me at that time would try to 'act adult' and read it. After time, I began to realize that the latest news and gossips are available on 8days and 8days provides me with information and knowledge for me to hold conversation with friends on the latest happenings.

Since 2006, I never fail to miss any issue of 8days and I have witnessed it's changed in SIZE of magazine. It was originally an A4 size magazine to now, the handy size magazine. :)

8days will be having its 1000th issue next week and and event will be held at Iluma tomorrow to reveal the cover of the special 1000th issue.
I went to Iluma today and saw the exhibit, they put on, of all their magazine covers from no. 1 to no. 999.

Guess what!
#1. On my birth day, that week's issue featured some unknown Ang Moh guy :D
#2. Huang WenYong and some other stars were on the 1st issue of 8days.
#3. Issue 1 of 8days only cost $1.00.

The only picture of me, that I can find, with 8days!

Happy 1000th 8days!
