Show me how you Burlesque!!

When I saw the "Burlesque" trailer from the television, I had a feeling I will like the movie very much. And don't girls have good instinct? I absolutely love it.

The movie was not shown in IOI mall. Therefore, I needed to travel further down to Sunway to catch it. It was totally worth the jam, time and money.

I have always loved musical movies. The first one I watched was the "Phantom of the Opera" back in college times. I have loved it so much. I guess I like watching people sing. It's like being in a concert, only it is not live.

I didn't feel like I am watching a musical movie at all. It was just too great! Christina Aguilera sang most of the songs. She has very strong vocal! How can I have that? Though I didn't really adore Cher's voice, her singing technique amazed us. She has a solid voice.

I didn't expect Ali (Christina Aguilera) to involve in a romantic relationship with Jack. It was so sweet to watch both of them in the big screen. There was so much laughter in the cinema. The girl who sit behind me laughed her lungs out and I was practically laughing at her.

So, Cher and Christina showed me how to Burlesque. Though I still don't know how to, I will definitely buy their DVD to learn more about it.

*heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey..... show me how you Burlesque*

Twilight up and down

It was December 2008 when I started reading Twilight. It was my year end present from someone special. It was indeed a very busy month to start reading. I didn't have much time for it. Therefore, I only read during time intervals. Sometime I do a 5 minutes reading after lunch, other time I will only read while waiting for time to pass. Therefore, I always have Twilight in my bag. And hence, it had became an old Twilight.

Oh.. this is Twilight before I made it old.

I am so grateful to have the UK version of Twilight as the wording are more compact and the cover has this 3D picture of the hands and apple. Well, the US edition has a flat cover though, with bigger wordings of course.

When I handed over my unfinished Twilight to my sister because she wanted to read first, she was reluctant to take it. As she said that it did not appear new to her and she didn't want to read an old book. *Blink with disbelief*

I always like to read books until it looks old, at least it looks like I have already read it. Anyway, Shing wrapped my Twilight and finished reading it in a week. Then, she wrapped my poor "New Moon" and finished it in another 3 days.

Shing wrapped my books horribly. Sigh... (Just joking)

I stopped when Shing were reading, I only manage to finish Twilight during Valentines day. It was a very very good read! I have not been reading like this for like 3 years? I am convinced with how deeply in love Bella is to Edward. I actually thought the movie was fantastic. Although some said the video ruined the book, I think the editor did a great job. It is indeed hard to compact so many things in a video and I thought the editor made some good choices on scene selections.

There was a scene where Bella slipped and fell. I do think the scene was redundant. It was not enough to show how clumsy Bella was. Instead, I think it can be replaced by scenes like Bella was about to fall and Edward grabbing her. Or she could scratch her car or something. Clumsy people are bad with cars, especially women. (I know I scratched my car again. Sigh...)

Okay, I am quite obsessed with Twilight. I have just finished new "New Moon" and on "Eclipse" now. The "Old Moon" which fell into the drain was abandoned.

I included some pictures of old and new "New Moon". The right one was "Old Moon" which fell into the poor drain. The left one was the new one bought by you-know-who. (No it's not the Voldemort!) "New Moon" just found its way to my apartment and appear at my door step the next next day after "Old Moon" fell into the drain. (Maybe it's Voldemort after all!)

Oh... Poor "Old Moon" drank a lot of water and became so fat!

It is so fat, its cover cracked to give way to the body expenditure.

I have no idea what to do with "Old Moon". Anyone wants to adopt? It look like some old spell book though.

I have made my friend buying "Eclipse" and "Breaking Dawn" as birthday presents for me. Birthdays are just great!

My almost new unwrapped obsessions! Shing want to help me wrap again?

Finally, a happy family! The books on the left is from a UK publisher, atom. The rights are published by MT Books, US. I would say the cover texture is nicer from the UK ones and the binding quality is better from US.

Can you tell where have I read until? Hahha...

I am waiting eagerly for Midnight Sun, the twilight version of Edward. I always wanted to know what Edward thinks. Now, I just see what Bella sees, it would be awesome if I can complete the story from both sides. However, the book is delayed because the book had a leak and Stephenie was not in the mood writing it.

I am also patiently waiting for "The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide". Well, this guide claim to have all the character profiles, genealogical charts, maps and extensive cross-references. Well, sounds interesting enough though. It is said to be published on 1 Sept 2009. I guess I have grown to be really patient.

Twilight Finally

I first got to knew about the new movie Twilight from a newspaper review. I then fell in love with the picture. The main actor and actress are so perfectly matched. I initially thought it was like a Shakespeare story but it surprised me, thoroughly!

Sally invited me to go with her the other day but I was not free. I thought I will be missing it already. Guess I was quite lucky to still be able to catch the last show in GSC Mid Valley. Some said that it was not nice. Some said they went to see "leng chai", the handsome Robert Pattinson. But I say "I LOVED IT!"

I love everything about it! It's everything I like! I have loved fairy tales with all my life and Twilight is what I cannot ask more for. It's like a fairy tale, romantic and magical. The movie is so beautifully filmed. There are a lot of scenes that I like. I particular like the scene when Bella lied in the arms of Edward. It's so sweet and contradicting at the same time.

Well, I guess I have left out the story right? The story was about a kind vampire, Edward, who only fed on animal blood. He was so attracted to Bella that he had mixed up whether he was attracted to her or to her blood. They tried kissing for the first time but Edward was nearly unable to control himself from wanting her blood.

It's clearly a forbidden love for them but they did not give up. Two hours of movie is not enough to convince me how madly in love they were and I decided to read the book. I was searching for Twilight (the book) from MPHonline.com. The book falls on "Teen Reader" category. *Being shot in the heart* Well, that sounds like me after all.

Why do I like it so much? I guess nowadays, we don't have that kind of forbidden love in the society. Everyone is able to love freely regardless of skin color, status, religion or even sex. Most people take love for granted. After all, human only know how to treasure those that is hard to get.
