chinese new year and stephen chow

just as christmas isn't without the Home Alone series, so is chinese new year (CNY) incomplete without a movie or two of Stephen Chow.

i dun think i've ever passed any CNY without watching at least one of his movies.

this year, i managed to catch (once again) Kung Fu Hustle, and one-third portion of Lucky Star, also starring Sammi Cheng.

and it's alittle late to strike me, but i found an uncanny similarity between the landlady from kung fu and sanji!!

the way they always have a cigarette at the side of their lips.

the lighting up of one after a fight.

all so so similar!

here's the comparison to show how even their poses can be similar.

ahahahahaha.

it had me quite amused by the whole thing. i mean, it's not a bad thing since i like the landlady and all, but i never really thought of putting them together until now.

this goes to show how watching a movie many times over can get into your head. =P

PS. oh! i'm going for my long awaited cruise trip this sunday!! WOHOO!!!! 6 meals a day!!!

Christmas

(back-dated due to the fact that i couldn't get into the blog at all during the entire christmas.)

got this paragraph from the bulletin cover page for Christmas service last sunday during church.

Christmas is not about all the things
we bring to the celebration.
Christmas is about what He brings.
Christmas is about a God in Heaven
who loved us enough to send His Son
to die for us
- Randy Vader-

while we kept saying things like, "i don't feel like it's Christmas," or "there's no Christmas mood," etc etc, maybe like what is written above, we've already forgotten why we've been 'celebrating' Christmas.

it's the Christ of Christmas we celebrate, not Christmas itself. Ponder Him!
- 20th Dec, Our Daily Bread, Christmas Edition-

how long has it been since we've really celebrated the birth of our Saviour?

1 day to CNY...

WOHOO!!!
it's finally juz down to 1 day to CNY!!!

aside from the fact that i'm currently on night shift now, i'm so happy i'm finally having my block leave!!

i'm having second thoughts about having un-interrupted sleep in my house... with my grandma's loud and "persistant" noise-making, i'm thinking i'll have to wake up every morning to put on some music to attempt to drown her voice...

Anime News: Bleach #65 and One Piece #254 both released and watched...

comments:-

on Bleach -> ok, the filler story seems quite stupid now... 2 grown men and a girl trying to kidnap Ichigo-gumi (hey! if kenshin has the kenshin-gumi, so can ichigo), since they got not juz Orihime but also Chad in the latest episode.

on OP -> i think Ohtani Ikue is sick or something, cos suddenly, i hear this unknown voice speaking Chopper's lines... eww.... i hope she comes back soon...

1 week to CNY...

looking forward to CNY next sunday... not so much really of the ang baos or visiting, since they've been on a steady decline since years ago... u would wonder why that happens especially when most of my cousins are married and with kids... and i'm not so high on visiting either...

anyway, the difference this yr is that i'm on block leave for the CNY week... very excited to finally get a chance to sleep in all i wan this time as my previous (and only) block leave last yr was spent shuttling to and fro NUH since grandma was admitted due to a UTI (urinary tract infection).

after getting so used to shift work, it's really very tiring when i have to work day shift almost everyday these past 2 weeks... even when i have an afternoon shift, it's not as if i could sleep that late anyway...

therefore, my main motive this CNY block leave: to sleep as much as i can...! ohohohoho...

of course, i still have my driving lessons and probably some social outings with friends (makan anyone? KTV?), but sleep is my main priority...


gosh...

i'm starting to sound like garfield...


ps. bought my 1st ever cheongsum today... who knows, this might be the only time i get to fit in... this time next yr, i might haf gained that 1kg (or more) that will get me back to my ideal weight... *cross fingers*
