lets make it a 5...shall we?

afterall...
these were not memiors of a queen or a princess...
these are the memiors of a geisha...

not the exact ending i had expected after watching memiors of a geisha...
the movie's cinematography was authentic to the book...
however the ending was rather abrupt and sudden...
as you watch the movie...
it feels as if you were mentally flipping the book...
zhang ziyi gave an amazing performance as sayuri/chiyo...
as much as we all hated her japanese accented english...
its hard not to gwak at her beauty and her exceptional gracefullness...
whenever gongli appears on the screen...
the audience just can't seem to get enough of her...
she's the evil geisha that we all love to hate...
hutsumomo was brought to life from the pages of the book...
gongli had the best japanese accented english...
michelle yeo was rather hoo hum...
pleasant and forgetable...
but i think the biggest applause has to go to...
the little girl who played chiyo...
watch out dakota fanning...
what i liked most about the movie was how...
elegant and seamlessly the documentary was told...
as you enter the secret world of geisha...
it hard not to sympathise and envy these beautiful creatures of the night...

as mahema said...
we don't become geisha to fulfil our own destiny...
we become geishas because we don't have a choice...

on to something less far away and translatable...
had my reunion dinner today...
yea...you heard me...
tuan yuan fan...
the steam boat, the siting around the table and cooking ourselves...
the trying to figure whats cooked and whats gonna give you hep B...
doesn't it sound like so much fun...
my dad's leaving for holland and will only be back on the first day of the lunar new year...
i can't remember when we actually had the reunion day dinner held on the actual day...
if only life was as simple as shifting a reunion dinner date...
you know you've got to do it...
so you can do it whenever you're comfortable...
just as long as it's before the lunar new year...

mom's in psyco lunar new year bitch mood...
she wants...demands that someone's gonna accompany her to chinatown to get new year shit...
i've sucessful weaselled my way out of this horrifying ritual for the past consecutive 4 years...
lets make it a 5 shall we???
