emo 2008 54th entry

Caught one of our Singapore's very own movie "12 Lotus." It's very Singapore's style like.. I'm sure the aunties and uncles would loved it! It's directed by Royston Tan who's also the director of 15, 3:10 & 881 of cuz!!!

"12 Lotus" is Singaporean film maker Royston Tan’s latest and last movie about "getai" — a live stage performance held during the 7th Lunar Month in Singapore.

The film, which premieres in Singapore on August 14, centres on talented singer Lian Hua, played by Mindee Ong. The cast also includes MediaCorp artist Qi Yu Wu.

Despite a similar storyline and cast, Tan said he was more adventurous in the use of dialect in his latest movie.

Tan, director of "12 Lotus", said: "In 881, getai is the foreground. But in 12 Lotus, getai becomes background. I think 881 is more like experimentation to me — to see how I can fuse Hokkien songs and local cultures...

"But now, for 12 Lotus, I sort of take it to another level — using orchestra with Hokkien songs, and doing hip—hop with Hokkien songs. To me, it’s a much bigger playground."

emo 2008 53rd entry.

Caught a jap movie with DD. It's pretty interesting bout how the whole storyline runs. A beautiful cyborg girl appears in front of a dull university student. Even though the cyborg starts to like him, she can't truly feel emotions, so the boy has no choice but to say goodbye to her inhuman power and 'violence'. Missing her, he continues his lonely existence. Some time thereafter, a disastrous earthquake hits Tokyo, and the cyborg girl saves his life. In that moment, she starts to have feelings like a real human being. But this ain't all.. There's loads more going on. It's a fantastic movie.

Didn't blog for more than a month. Felt really tired, dancing everyday. Had been to bangkok for nearly a week. It's was real fun walking around, buying things eating food all day long. Would love to go back there for another week or months. Maybe I'll set up a studio there one day. Big dream. Sweeet.



Olympic Games Closing are TONIGHT!!!! Damn it! Didn't catch much.. Only caught the Beach Volleyball, Gymnastics, Water Ballet, Ballet with Rope, Hoop & Ribbon, i don't know what that is called.. Haha. Watching the Men's Marathon now!!! It's been 1:02:47 now!!!

Used to trained really hard in my running and marathon. The fastest running record in my life is like 3hrs 15mins for a full marathon. So SLOW!!! Still remember when I was still very young, I actually I wanted to join the Olympic for marathon. Well.. Back then i was still naive. It's like nearly impossible for me to win anything.. Gee -.-"
