just because it is, doesn't mean it should be

just caught Australia this afternoon with dearest Angeline, who just touched down in Singapore from her European trip to Paris, France and Zermatt, Switzerland the previous afternoon.

smile! xD

Australia is indeed an epic romance film. which was about 2 hours and 4o minutes long. but well, it didn't bore me nor did it seem really long and draggy, so i guess that means that it's quite a good movie la, right. (: and just in case you were wondering, it is set in Australia (quite obviously, right). xD

as usual, Nicole Kidman was lovely and stunning as Lady Sarah Ashley, and Hugh Jackman was all hunky and charming as Drover (haha, there really was no mention of his character's real name at all in the movie! o.O). oh, and of course, i absolutely adored the narration by the young Bradon Walters who played Nullah.

well, quite an awesome movie of epic proportions, basically. (:



anyway, the main point of this entry is to serve as a notice that i'll be away at Batam for Council Retreat from tmr (29th) till the 31st (new year's eve)!

so well, till then, see ya and take care y'all. (:

because family is love

well, while many most other were out celebrating Christmas at church or visiting relatives, my family went to eat seafood! haha. we had chilli crab, oats-coated prawns, fried baby squids, and other equally mouth-watering dishes. YUM! =D

and i've been out with the siblings recently. (:


anyway, speaking of family, and since i've just completed watching all the aired episodes of the second (and final! =/) season of Pushing Daisies (three unaired episodes are scheduled for next summer), bear with me as i rant - WHY IN THE WORLD IS PUSHING DAISIES BEING CANNED! ):

it's such an awesomely fresh and interesting dramedy with a genius of a plot and storyline. and the actors are just so fun and wacky! and of course, it doesn't do justice at all to Kristin Chenoweth's character, Olive Snook, which she portrayed so darn well! xD

Kristin Chenoweth as Olive Snook
(she totally deserves a photo )

and just to prove my point, she received an Emmy nomination for her role this year. (: i especially loved the episode when she moved to a nunnery in a bid to keep her silence on all the secrets that she's been hiding.

as one hell of a nun in Bad Habits (Season 2 Episode 3)

i just really adore her - she's such a colourful character! =D

OH. and their costumes (and shoes) and sets/props are just so awesome to boot! they can go from their typical awesomeness

look at them shoes!and the colours!

... to circus fun


... to oriental delight



... to magical fantasy


... to holy goodness


... to even wackier fun!


... and a musical moment from Olive! xD


there's no other show i've watched which contains so much life and energy and happiness and colour! =D

AH, THE SHOW'S PURE BRILLIANT! what's with the American audience la, omg. ))):


seeing how i've dedicated most of this entry to Pushing Daisies, you should agree that it kinda is AWESOME. (:

OH. and since Christmas is all about giving, allow me to share this awesome Korean (i think) video-sharing website to you: Pandora TV! it has most American tv shows, and the videos are quite well-organised too.

to end off this exciting post, here's a better live version (or so i think) of Run, performed at UK's Top Of The Pops Christmas Special:

Leona Lewis - Run



OH, and thank you Lionel Lim Siang for the lovely snail-mailed Christmas card! (:
