Imagine That




Imagine that is a nice family film to catch. The type of film that give u something to learn subtly. Sometimes when we lack confidence in ourself, we turn to something/somebody to give us that confidence, but at the end of the day it is actually by our own effort that we get things done well.

How much you believe in yourself is crucial.

I particularly like the ending, where Eddie Murphy showed up at his daughters choir concert.

Chen Fala





I first noticed 陈法拉 Fala Chen in 溏心风暴之家好月圆, although she had acted in 溏心风暴, her role was not really prominent. It was kinda a 'hit & miss' role for her. Easily forgettable. However in 家好月圆, she acted as a mute and did a good job.

Her role in the 2 shows were more or less the same kind of image, the quiet demure innocent girl next door.



The most recent show that i've been drama-ing, is 有營煮婦, apart from Louise Lee Si-Kei, Fala is the next main actress in the show. So she really stand out, and her image is very different from the previous show. She's a tomboy, loud, messy etc.. I feel that she really shined in this drama!

The drama itself is a very nice drama to catch after a dull day. It is mostly filled with funny elements that will make you laugh. Which is hard to find in local dramas.

Cherie~` love TVB dramas!

Happiness is... meeting up with Shi'en


Met up with 大姐 today and spent almost the whole day together. So happy to be able to meet up with her, the last time i actually saw her in person was on her wedding day. Now she's with a kid!



Life with a kid is really different, we had wanted to eat jap, but the place wasn't baby friendly so we settled for Cafe Cartel. Was so full, but she was craving for dessert so we ordered 1 that was supposedly "must try". Turned out to be quite sub-standard.



She's really blessed. Caden is one good boy. Throughout the whole afternoon spent with her & baby Caden. Caden didn't really cry or fussed. Not even when he poop and she didn't change his diapers immediately. He only got restless when we sat down for quite long. He's really a smiley baby. I enjoy playing & carrying him.

Time spent with her made me felt that indeed if you are a teacher with a passion for teaching, you can really make a difference. Although she has willingly give up teaching to look after baby Caden and continue to bear more children, i can see that she really enjoyed her teaching job.

Am surprised that she's aiming for 4 kids! Looking forward to hear the good news from her again! 4 kids is really no kidding.





Emerge Talentime 2003~
Always remember the fun time we had!

Cherie~` Love this sister of mine.

Jennifer's Body




Megan Fox is HOT! The supporting actress Amanda Seyfried is equally hot. This horror comedy is worth to watch if you like some thrill and laughs. Its not really scary, but it's funny and gory. If you like to see hot girls, this is definitely a must watch!




My sister's keeper



Adapted from Jodi Picoult's novel, the movie actually had a very different ending from the book. It was quite an emotional movie to watch, as i see how the family have to deal with a terminally ill daughter/sister.

Although i was filled with empathy for Kate, i felt more for Anna. Throughout the movie, i only saw how much their mother wanted Kate to live, to the extent of refusing to let go of Kate even when Kate was dying. How a mother's love can give her so much strength to go through the effect of the illness with Kate. But what about Anna?

The main reason why they conceived Anna through IVF in the first place was to save Kate, but after Anna was born, did the mother love Anna as much as she loved Kate?

They always say, no mother will not love their own children. But all i could see was that Anna was being by-passed in many areas of her life. She had to go through so much and when Kate went into renal failure, the mother wants Anna to donate her kidney to Kate. Does she even think about how Anna is gonna live in future? Or does she only have Kate in her mind?

Well, i kinda like the ending in the movie than in the book. At least it was a fair ending.

Quoted from http://klessinthedaisies.blogspot.com/

The mother in the movie did all she could to preserve the life of her daughter, even to the extent of sacrificing another of her child’s happiness. Can anyone really say that the mother did the wrong thing? Was she wrong in wanting to keep her child alive? Was it fair to the other child who grew up donating her blood, cells, marrows to her sister to keep her alive? I guess no one can give a firm answer. What touched me most from the movie was the great love of the mother and how she wanted to hold on to her daughter so badly. No mother would bear to let go of her child, no matter what happens.
Cherie~` True, nobody can give her firm answer.
