One Day
One Day didn't disappoint, in my opinion. though that part about the letter from India should've seriously been included.
actually, quite a bit of the book was left out, including the affair with the principal, which i'm honestly grossed out about anyway. and just like in the book, her death was very swift, almost just glanced over:
"Then Emma Mayhew dies, and everything that she thought or felt vanishes and she is gone forever."
it didn't give you time to mourn her death, if at all. but ah well, the direction of the book and movie is certainly refreshing.
by the way, such a tragedy! ):and when the camera panned to reveal that
Sylvie was having an affair with
Callum, some in the audience actually gasped! haha.
also, despite the big hoo-ha over
Anne Hathaway's weird Yorkshire accent, i had no issues about it at all. i must add that she looked so gorgeous with the short 'do in her thirties. and
Jim Sturgess as
Dexter looked so much more dashing as he aged, insterestingly enough.

everyone ought to read and watch
Kathryn Stockett's
The Help (directed by
Tate Taylor) - a thoroughly moving and inspiring work.
Emma Stone did justice to the character of
Skeeter (except being a tad too gorgeous, perhaps), as did
Viola Davis to
Aibileen and
Octavia Spencer to
Minny. and in the midst of the Stepford Wives-ness of everything,
Celia's naivety and innocence was refreshing, even if it was somewhat sorrowful.
alas, the realistically mixed ending definitely brings the story to a neat close.
well, power to Skeeter and gang, especially our dear Minny!! =D

Mausam (Seasons)
Mausam was just average, to be honest. it was unfortunately a tad too fairytale and had unnecessary melodramatic scenes, like the one where Harry saved the little girl from the ferris wheel (and it remained to be seen how he managed to get down with her after that). so, it was kinda disappointing for me. ): but well, at the very least,
Sonam and
Shahid were gorgeous leads! so that helped to soften the blow of the underwhelming plot. xD
also, the song numbers and choreography were good, especially the tongue-in-cheek one during the wedding, and the finale one which played on as the credits rolled. so on the whole, it wasn't exactly bad. just that it wasn't that good either, sadly..
oh, Dean and i were armed with Garrett popcorn and Gong Cha earl grey milk tea, so we had good snacks for company (let's just not think about the calories aye!) throughout the 2.5hr Hindi extravaganza of a movie, which took us to Punjab, Nepal, Edinburgh, Switzerland, Gwalior and Agra.
to end off, here's a truly fun shot of the day:

Ziana and Anuar Zain
Esplanade Concert Hall
30 September 2011
Ziana looking gorgeous in a Rizman Ruzaini gown
(she had three beautiful costume changes for the night!) Anuar doing his stuff, as usual fittingly ending the night with Suasana Di Hari Raya curtain call after encore performances of Anggapanmu by Ziana,
and Perpisahan by Anuar two of my Malay music industry idols - and who are siblings, btw - take the stage together for the first time in concert, as part of Pesta Raya 2011. needless to say, it was a night of powerful vocals and entertaining banter! (:the only unfortunate thing was that i was seated in the first row on the fourth level. so literally, i was on the edge of my seat throughout the night, haha.
anyway, from the Malay in me, VOKAL MANTAP BEB!! =D
with sister and her friend! (:
