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".

Good things

Good things happen recently ^^ Not so much for me though lol. Well, my NUS fren got engaged last week. She has been with her boyfriend for quite a while. Both are genius.. congratz2... Then yesterday was the most shocking one... coz I always thought all was just jokes.. congratz to the two FA frens of me. Surely love works in the most unpredictable ways. Of course the previous couple from FA was also shocking to me for different reason haha. Anyway, glad to see them happy. I dunno if Friday's dinner is gonna be good thing but I know that this is really going nowhere. Sigh.. so it seems that we are going nowhere while the others have moved on. Anyway, was having a great FA session last night. Eve shared on how God used her the night before to help cast out demons for her friend. So she was sleeping over her friend's house, they were chatting till almost 3 AM and then the topic became serious and her friend wanted to be set free from the devil spirit inside her. At first Eve was ...

song of the phoenix

Hindarkan aku dari murkaMu ya Allah, sembunyikan aku dari geramMu yang menyala-nyala sesungguhnya dalam kesalahan aku dikandung, dan dalam pelanggaran aku diperanakkan, dan dengan dosa aku bergumul sepanjang hariku tulang-tulangku serasa remuk oleh gentar, dan hatiku sungguh hancur mengingat dukaMu jangan palingkan wajahMu ya Allah, jangan biarkan rohMu yang kudus beranjak dariku siapakah aku ya Tuhan, hingga layak akan belas kasihMu namun itu yang kupinta, kuberanikan meminta, maka dengarlah jeritku ya gunung batuku sekali lagi, ulurkan tangan kanan Mu angkatlah aku dari debu dan abu sekali lagi, hembuskan nafas hidup Mu bangkitkan aku dari jurang maut Hades nyalakan sekali lagi, api kudus Mu yang menghanguskan noda cela ku sampai habis biar sekali lagi bibir ini layak berkata, terpujilah Engkau ya Allah ku yang hidup *dari chapter 'daud dan batsyeba'
