Season of love and sharing

Finally managed complete my xmas shopping on time earlier this week. It was pretty tiring, as I had to stay up to wrap all the presents myself, cant bear to be queuing up at the shopping centers for gift wrapping service, damn long queues man....

Been feeling really tired due to lack of sleep. Even my old injury acted up on me again, luckily darling gave me a good massage one of the nights, only then did I had a good sleep last 2 days. Feeling slightly rejuvenated today.

Went for the movie, The Curse of the Golden Flower by Gong Li and Chow Yun Fatt. Thumbs Up! The scenes were overwhelming...the whole sea of golden flowers (which is actually chrysanthemums symbol for warding away evil, oso a secret code for the coup by the Queen), the troops of soldiers and palace ladies...whew! No wonder its deemed one of the greatest production by Zhang YiMou.

However, I think some audience like the auntie sitting next to me catch no ball, she even laughed at the most solemn moment and the tragic ending...hahaha...its not just a popcorn movie but rather u've got to watch how the actors and actresses give a plot an awesome new feel (plot was originally a stageplay of a family feud). It was a splendid performance by the lead actor and actress, both are my favorites :) The sets were beautiful created, full of gold ornaments and the palaces made of liu li, a kind of precious crystal. Everything was intricate and delicately made...really took my breath away...

Highly recommended
