Stardust

Theme song of the hugely impressive movie, Stardust.

Rule the World by Take That



Not many were interested in Stardust when I brought it up, so I was surprised that Ata asked me if I wanted to watch. I missed out on 'Triplet of Belleville' as well as 'Lars and the real girl', sadly. It's always difficult to find partner to watch non mainstream movies. But gladly, I watched my Stardust.

Fantasy, jokers, witty lines, romance, climax, and 'happily ever after'- the movie has it all.

Heard that the novel itself is even more fascinating than the condensed movie.

Claire Danes's character, Yvaine, is one the most adorable fairy tale's princesses I have ever known. Can't help falling in love with her.

Charlie Cox's Tristran is.. sigh.. so well developed, from a naive young boy into a dashing young man.. you can't help gasping in disbelief just like Victoria upon Tristran's return from Stormhold.

And Robert de Niro is Robert de Niro.. playing a role akin to 'Cid' in Final Fantasy.

The story is so 'Final Fantasy' that I suppose it can easily be adapted for FF XIV.

My favorite? The seven princes... They are wicked ^^

All in all.. its another movie that got me smiling in satisfaction as the end credit rolled. It's the kind of movie you can tell someone else, "If you don't appreciate this kind of movie, then I guess you don't really appreciate the world I am living in".

si mahasiswa NTU yg bunuh diri itu denger2 namanya david. sigh.. mgkn final year presssure was too much to him. jadi inget masa2 kerjain final year project, tinggal 3 bulan dan gua maseh blank. untung ngga masuk berita ky dia. life is a funny thing. well since there is a chance that this may not be a simple suicide, lets not assume so. maybe there's a truth behind this. duh.. jd inget kalo di conan trus dia bilank, "ini bukan bunuh diri.. ini adalah kasus pembunuhan!" jadi serasa mao jadi detektip -_-

Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart". One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father. You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you. You expect him to do so. Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you. So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you. It hurts the most. It kills off your hope. It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man. Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you. He loves you.. yes. But a father's role is not simply to love and nurture. He is more than just that. He is your assurance, stronghold, strength. He leads you into adventure, he fights with you side by side, he shows you how to rescue a beauty. When your father of flesh and blood ca...
