Merry Christmas Eve!
Too bad I dont really celebrate Christmas cos I dont have the Christmassy, festive mood in my house.
The friends will make up for it cos there will be Christmas dinner with some seniors & our batch of bowlers tmr, as well as Tim's Christmas party on the 27th (:
Spent Christmas Eve with Vic, Anuaar, Glenn, Kevin Teo, Michelle & Cali!
The longlost friends! Cos most of them were at Milo in KL for the past week plus.
We watched Curse of the Golden Flower! (:
It's really good!
Dramatic, yet interesting.
A tale of incest, loyalty, hypocrites, bad family communication, vice & war.
Okay movie spoiler coming up.
The Empress & Emporer were having a quiet war between each other when at the end the Empress' army were beaten when both their armies came head-to-head (yeah talk about Civil War!).
Actually it's quite a lame concept :S The Empress' army was annihilated. Completely!
It all started when the Empress had a sexual relationship with the Crown Prince (!!!) but the audience does not know during the first part that the Empress is not his biological mother.
Yeah the audience prolly got the shock of their lives thinking it was an incest relationship but in the end it isnt. Lol.
Then comes the part where the Crown Prince is also having a secret love affair with one of the palace maids named Chan at the same time.
The audience prolly didnt think much about it but in the end it WAS an incest relationship when he found out that the palace maid's mother IS ALSO his biological mother. Lol! When Chan found out she ran away SCREAMING. Which was quite, I dunno, funny in a way. But I mean, it's a very shocking discovery of course. But it was HOW she reacted. She ran out of the room where she found out & screamed all the way out of the palace doors!
The part when the whole royal family were praying looked OVER dramatic already cos all of them wore robes & accessories made of gold from HEADTOTOE. Even with a trailing end to the robes at the end. Haha.
Gong Li looked great. She looked like Hatsumomo in Memoirs of a Geisha in some parts of the show when she let her hair down. Lol.
Jay Chou.. He doesnt look too appealing with his Chinesey bun on the top of his head & in the military gear. His acting wasnt tooooo great but he's okay to watch. His swordfighting skills made up for it. Quite sad in the end though, when he killed himself when torn between loyalty to his mum the empress & his dad the emporer.
Yeah the ending part was the climax.
I still cant believe how all the princes died, especially the youngest one.
That one shook me the most.
The Emporer actually used his like 5inch wide, 2inch thick GOLDEN belt to BEAT his youngest son to DEATH.
That was vicious & most shocking!
The Emporer could even laugh! :S
I wont ever forget that part of the film!
Okay I shant elaborate any further already!
Haha. Go watch it if you havent!
Those who are working around me have influenced me to think about what job I'd want to take up next year after A Levels.
The senior girls said that they wont be entering Uni until August next year.
Asked Cali about the air stewardess job that she wanted to take up, cos I thought that it's quite interesting.
I dream of being in the tourism business anyway & I'd love to travel!
But I heard that there's a few months of training PLUS we must work there for at least a year.
So maybe after A Levels can work first before going Uni.
Haha maybe I can even save enough to go overseas to study.
Or afford my own car when I get my licence. Lol.
In a cab ride home with Jocelyn the other day, the cab driver was actually an air steward & he was telling us about his experience, which sounded really attractive!
So I should go lose the fats first so that I can actually fit in the Singapore Girl SIA uniform!
Ahaha.
Okay it's Christmas already!
So MERRY CHRISTMAS! (:
May there be a stocking-full of Christmas presents for everyone,
a wonderful reunion with friends & family then,
& a much better & fulfilling year ahead (:
