the first part of philip pullman's his dark materials trilogy!!!!!1one!
damn excited hehehe. i LOVE fantasy, and i LOVE trilogies. have read the first two parts of the trilogy - currently re-reading the second book after re-reading the first book -_-" erm i'm sorta saving the last book, you know, like how some people save the best morsel for the last.
the anticipation of reading the last book =D
really really hope the movie lives up to the book's standard. the trailer looks promising enough. though the whole thing has a sorta polished feel to it. hmm. and the alethiometer looks a bit plasticky/toy-like.
anyway.
casting-wise, i like dakota blue richards as lyra! though i did imagine her looking a bit more wild, she looks bright-eyed and cunning enough, and NOT CUTESY thank goodness. bagus. dunno why her daemon pantalaimon sounds so girly la. he is voiced by an underaged boy after all. oh well.
wily and cunning >=)
nicole kidman as mrs coulter is not surprising. she does look the part, after all. let's hope she'll be able to pull off the character well and not end up looking mildly ridiculous like that white witch in the narnia movie.
beautiful and charming enough
daniel craig as lord asriel seems a bit... um, well. just didnt imagine lord asriel to look like that. daniel craig's more of suave than the agressive, passionate and strong lord asriel.
argh! james bond wth!
eva green as serafina pekkala seems quite alright, though now i KNOW i'll be reminded of james bond casino royale seeing that both she and daniel craig are in this movie. gah.
yeah she looks witchy cos... she's a witch la
oh, and sam elliott as lee scoresby is right on the spot! well, maybe except that he looks slightly older than i imagined. heh.
fits the part well as the weatherbeaten scoresby
and oooh look - my daemon! =D
heh. ok back to work.

sigh, what's it with all the misunderstandings going around.
you say that you've been misunderstood - hello as if i'm not being misunderstood by you la now. because if i wasn't misunderstood by you, you shouldnt even be feeling misunderstood in the first place, godammit.
and at least i take an effort in clarifying things.
p.s. now do not get all terasa with my curtness. as if i'm not hurt.
[edit]: *cough* hehe all cleared. minta maaf for all the unnecessary hentam-ing from me, heh. what, i can't help being self-centred now, can i?
now take credit in knowing that u're about the only one who sees me as that =P

sunny day~ sweeping the... clouds away~
have decided not to say anything there, cos well, i didn't want to add on to the mess, what more at someone else's site.
but this here is my blog =)
and i was just thinking how juvenile some people can be, adding to the noise for the sake of it. not so much of the mindset, but the way you go around saying things.
go ahead and not give a fuck like always.
tsk, imbecile.

sis was doing this personality test thing... which i did a couple of years before, that sanguine choleric melancholy phlegmatic thingy.*
so anyway, i'm sanguine phlegmatic (no surprises there), my sister is the total opposite of me - melancholy choleric.
sial, no wonder we're both so different la. was surprised that my sister is so dominantly melancholy. hmm. but i do see the choleric side of her. *coughBOSSYcough*
sis and i were speculating what mum and dad would be. we're guessing dad's predominantly choleric (well, cos he is). and that mum would be melancholy.
and that, my dear readers, would explain a whole lot about the intricacies among my family members.
*at a very brief glance:
sanguine - light hearted, fun, people person, spontaneous, scatter-brained, impulsive, messy, doesn't finish what they start, may avoid facing problems, takes on more than they have time for.
choleric - born leader, strong-willed, confident, decisive, unemotional, independant, excels in emergencies, goal-oriented, bossy, impatient, quick tempered, argumentative, dominating, tactless
melancholy - deep and thoughtful, analytical, serious and purposeful, artistic or musical, sensitive, conscientious, idealistic, easily offended, gets too caught up in details, doesn't do well with change, struggles with insecurity
phlegmatic - low-key, easygoing, patient, well-balanced, consistent, mediator, keeps emotions hidden, inoffensive, good listener, dry wit, procrastinator, unenthusiastic, indecisive, avoids responsibility, reticent, too compromising, self-righteous, lacks motivation, lazy

yeah me, who is pms-ing. hence highly unstable emotionally. and randomly incoherent.
like, you know, i didn't realise i was so angry. and i vented it out at the person i should least vent to. sigh, the guilt =(
curt tones and rude words uttered. i'd like to say that it was the incident that put me in a state of anger, and hence those hurtful words and hurtful tones i used.
and then ah, it accumulated to a full-fledge venting of my anger on what was pissing me off so much. anger and emotions escalating sial. i was on the verge of... well, i was on the verge of something.
probably not very good to bottle things up, as eventually the freaking bottle can't hold on for much longer. all it did was just bubble over the rim a little, and i'm already taken aback by the wave of anger that consumed me. well, albeit brief la.
how ah? anger management. mayb i should, like, shout at a wall or something the next time i'm pissed off instead of swallowing it down as if it were a fishball. a big fishball. don't even ask me WHY a fishball. i don't even swallow fishballs whole. heck, i don't even like fishballs all that much.
maybe one of those little cup puddings. yeah, i like those.

my frequency of falling asleep in class is much less compared to previous sems (of course that's mainly cos i miss half my classes in the first place, but that's not my point for now).
however, less sleeping, yes. but i get sien and fidgety verrryyyy easily in class nowadays. and recently i've taken a penchant to reduce my sien-ness in class by, among other silly things, moaning just loud enough for my friends next to me to hear.
just to annoy/disgust them. HAHA.
(and er, also for practice la, in case i'll need to fake it in the future OMG I HOPE NOT DFHKLAJSDFHKASDFH)

letdown
Wednesday, September 12, 2007
i'm not as good (here encompasses watever good traits) as some may perceive, for reasons not a hundred percent unknown, but still rather blurry to me
but in the occasion that the clouds clear and i happen to be right where the light is shining unfavourably...
i'm not as bad as it would seem.
is my forte!

procrastinating by sherry's definition at this very moment - doing nothing in particular (e.g. writing pointless blog posts) while work is piling up. drinking coffee to the sounds of the strokes and staring at the computer screen browsing thru someone's latest blog update full of pics and seriously lacking of the usual intellectually-stimulating bombastic-to-the-verge-of-lansi-ness words that string into so many rows they make u giddy *cough*
procrastinating by sherry's definition for the following few minutes - cavorting around friendster. oh, how juvenile! oh, how frivolous!
somebody kick me already.
