我講天邊一朵云和黑眼圈

最近看了兩部蔡明亮的作品 – 天邊一朵云和黑眼圈。感覺如何?Well, 本人覺得這兩部藝術品給我很不一樣的看法。
 
天邊一朵云
評語:
兩個字 – 好""…
第一個"色"是因爲導演用了很多顔色在裏頭。每一幕都有很重的顔色配搭。尤其是在那五個唱歌的鏡頭。本人很喜歡 "我沒有錢" 的顔色配搭和演員表情。顔色雖然暗了一點, 但卻可以表達到劇本的訊息。
第二個"色", 沒錯! 就是性。都蠻多的啦。但每一幕都是很不一樣的感覺。最後一場就很明顯得表露了男主角對女主角的感受和感情 (還沒看得朋友, 別以為這一男一女是在一起做哦!), 可展出他對她從心散發出來所累積的愛。
講真的啦, 本人不是很明白導演想表達些什麽。
 

不明白的地方:
1,那行李箱是zomok的?
2,台灣是否曾經有這一場缺水問題嗎?
3,為什麽是西瓜?
4,為什麽是一條水龍?
 
最喜歡的地方:
1,男女主角的放!
2,陈湘琪的演技。請留意她裝孕婦的那一幕。
3,配角的配合度。

黑眼圈
評語:
兩個字 – 好""
好熟悉的臉。(對! 都有那兩位男女主角的演出)
好熟悉的背景。很多幕都可以看到我讀書時候所經過的地方比如Pudu Jail, Plaza Rakyat, Petaling Street & etc. 可參考不良人勞改營的部落。
好熟悉的靜。可以說這部是連啞巴都可以演的一部戯,但本人喜歡!
 

不明白的地方:
1,沒有。本人可了解到兩個男主角深深的友和愛情。
 
最喜歡的地方:
1,簡單的劇情但隱藏了一個複雜的現代故事。
2,第一次拍戲的出色大膽演員。
3,可清楚看到每一幕熟悉的四周圍和kelefe的一舉一動。

P/S:這是我第一次用中文寫review。如果有什麽不滿,請多多包涵。歡迎一切留言和討論。

Mickey & Friends in NZX

Mickey Mouse & friends are in NZX. Brought my family there and it was quite easy to find that place actually (despite some complains saying that the place is very remote and hidden).

I heard from the radio that the entrance to the Disney lantern show is FREE. So, I brought my whole family there. Parked my car in NZX with a cost of RM2. But it was quite convenient coz there were ample parking lots available.

There were also a lot of colourful and beautiful stalls leading us to the lantern area. Upon reaching the entrance, there was a long queue. I was like "Hmm… is there something free or what?!"… Checking out the counter, rupa-rupanya kena bayar!!! HUH? I thought it’s free!!?!!!

Coupons sold at RM10 per adults & RM5 per child. But the coupons can be used to purchase selected items there. So, it’s ok lah…

There were beautiful lanterns and figurine (big statues) of Disney characters and me, being myself, transformed into a kid there – just like when I was in HK Disneyland. Haha! Quite embarrassing but what to do?

The group of lanterns I like the most was the one which features all the main characters of Disney – Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy & Goofy.

Sweet memory with my family… and had an enjoyable time there. The RM60 was worth it! ~ Not only to see the lanterns but the precious time to be with my family. And btw, we used our balance 4 coupons to purchase an umbrella (3 coupons) and a cup (1 coupons).

My Personal

Being a Car Racing Spectator…

A friend of mine got free tickets to the A1GP KL 2008. What more? Went there with much enthusiasm and excitement. It was my first time ever being a car racing spectator. I have never watch this kind of race before, not even on the TV. Well, it was not bad though. Although it was rather hot and noisy. But we really enjoyed such experience.

The event reminded me of my experience working in F1 Shanghai 2004. It was such a great experience having the opportunity to work there. It was just for a short 5 days but it was worth it. I was still in my Uni life when I got the offer to fly there. I still remember the hardship we went through and the difficulties to go there with my other 4 mates and there was something which happened eventually which was not a big deal after all. I will NEVER forget such event of my life.

A Feast of Rich Food in JOGOYA

Tis’ the season of promotion in Jogoya. 50% off for ladies. Went there with ma, May and Yin. 4 of us reached there right on time and started our journey of rich food from 11am to 2pm (But we left early as we were too full to stuff ourselves at 1.30pm).

It was too happy to be true that I met my ex-colleague who is now working in Jogoya. She gave me 5 VIP tickets to try out their VIP dishes. Too nice of you, Jen Ne – muacks!

There were too many food to try. We didn’t even bother to look at those spaghetti, noodles or whatever they have at the other side of the restaurant.

My biggest surprise of the day was that a human-being can really get too tired of fresh oyster in just one meal.

My biggest disappointment was that their cakes and bakeries are too lousy. None of them impresses me. Not even their chocolate fudge or anything with chocolates there. They really need to buck up on it!

We tried 5 of their VIP dishes and I liked their flower tea the most!

Thai Cuisine in Jalan Alor

I was being recommended to try out a Thai Restaurant in Jalan Alor by a friend. I have always wanted to go but I couldn’t until last Saturday.

thai6 Seafood Tom Yam – RM15.00 (for 2 pax)

thai7 Mango Kerabu – RM12.00

Mein and I tried their Seafood Tom Yam and Mango Kerabu. Needless to say, the food was indeed very authentic and rich with the original Thai cuisine taste. We will definitely come back for more…

This restaurant is located a few shop next to the church at the Jalan Alor junction, behind KFC.
