Bring on New Moon

The final poster of New Moon has been released, and it has made me even more eager to watch the second book/movie in the saga.

I got this poster from a fellow blogger who has all the information on New Moon.

Hubby and I are planning on watching this at Directors Suite so that I get to have the complete experience. Heehee. :P

The only sad thing about this movie (as with the book), is that Edward has minimal appearances. The focus is more on Bella and Jacob (although Jacob looks pretty good in the movie).

Still.. Gooo Team Edward! :)

The WotWots!

My favourite baby cousin, Dashiell, will be turning 3 years old this coming 30th of September. He will be celebrating by having a private screening of Pixar's movie "Up". This will be a children's party, but Hubby and I were invited. :)

We went to the shopping centre yesterday to find a present for Dash. A little clueless as to what Dash really likes (kids taste changes so often), we rang Dash's Mum, my Aunt. :)

My Aunt advised that Dash likes Playhouse Disney and The WotWots. We were aware of what Playhouse Disney was, but we were curious on what the WotWots were. So we headed towards the toy section and hunted for the WotWots.

We were able to spot the WotWots - the somewhat strange (but cute) looking pastel pink and blue creatures. Instead of buying Dash a WotWots or Playhouse DVD, Hubby and I bought him a WotWots toy. The WotWots toy speaks and sings. Hubby and I were quite amused and played with the toy ourselves. :P

Can't wait to attend the kiddie party and see Dash's expression when he opens our pressie. :)

First Date

Yesterday (12 May 2009) while at work, hubby sent me a text message saying that we will be going on a date that evening by watching a movie. I was thrilled to hear of this as we barely get to go out with just the two of us.

I replied to his message saying I was very excited about our date. He then replied saying he was excited too, plus a question "do you know why we're going out on a date?". I got stuck. I had no idea that there was an occasion. Minutes had passed and he hadn't told me why, so I gave him a call. He still refused to tell me, but gave in after a while.

It was the day - 9 years ago, we had our first date. :)

I was surprised to hear this from hubby because normally I am the one to remember dates - anniversaries, birthdays, you name it. But this time, I had failed. I was so proud of hubby for rememebring!

We had dinner at home with the family before we went off to Hoyts. I was the one who drove as hubby is not yet used to driving on the left side of the road. We had the best parking spot! It was like it was reserved especially for us. Woohoo.

We settled for Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, starring Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner.

Of course, we cannot watch a movie without popcorn and choctops! Hubby had the banana choctop, and I had butterscotch.























It was a feel-good movie, somewhat a chick flick. But we enjoyed it anyway. Well, I enjoyed it. :P

On our way home we drove by McDonalds and decided to pay a visit. Hubby had a standard long black, I had a small hot chocolate, and we shared a slice of double chocolate cake.

















Before we headed home we bought some Maccas for Papa and my brother. We love our snacks after dinner. :)

Thank you for a wonderful date my love! I truly enjoyed it. :*

Twilight Special Edition DVD

Today, I have secured myself a copy of the Twilight 2-Disc Special Edition DVD! Yipee!

I pre-ordered the DVD at the Borders website. I'm such a happy Twilight fan! Haha. :P

It will be released at Borders on the 22nd of April, so my DVD will be waiting for me to collect upon my return from my holiday.

Go TEAM EDWARD!!! lol :D

He's Just Not That Into You

Just came home from from watching He's Just Not That Into You with my brothers and my cousin Faith. A Butterscotch ChocTop, massive popcorn, and gigantic sprite made the movie more enjoyable. Nibbles are a must when watching movies!

It's an alright movie, a good laugh and a tear. Haha.

My most favourite part was..

Watch out, here comes a spoiler!

My most favourite part was when Ben Affleck proposed to Jennifer Aniston. That scene was totally unexpected and super sweet! Definitely a big awwww.. lol

The movie is based on a novel which was published a few years ago (one I had read in my Uni days). A somewhat annoying book, as most of the instances you would agree that the guy is just really not into you. :c

Breaking Dawn [please don't read this post if you plan on reading this book]

Here I am, finished with the final book in the Twilight Saga.  And I am feeling extremely sad. At the moment I am somewhat lost, not knowing what to do, after spending this week reading the saga. Oh well, I'm sure I will find something to keep me busy - I hope I will be able to catch up with blogging.

I loved this final book! As usual, I couldn't put the book down.  Apologies, sadness is reigning over me at the moment. Still.

Anyway, I pondered about the saga, Breaking Dawn in particular.  That in some ways, I can connect myself with Bella. Not that predators followed me everywhere, or that I was surrounded by supernatural creatures.  But I felt like Bella, in many ways than one regarding her relationship with Edward and Jacob.  And it struck me that I miss my husband and my best friend like crazy.  Like Bella, I am:

.. blessed with two special men beside me

.. lucky that my husband understands the relationship I have with my guy best friend

.. lucky that my best friend has not forgotten about me even if my attention is towards my husband

.. spoiled by these two wonderful men

.. surrounded by unconditional love both ways

I miss the presence of my husband and my best friend.  *sigh*

Back to the topic - I definitely recommend reading the Twilight Saga. I'm not sure if your experience will be similar to mine, but it's totally worth reading. 10++ rating from me.  

Can't wait till the next movies come out! :)

Twilight Soundtrack

So you might have all noticed that I have gone "gaga" with Twilight, and to top it off, I bought the Twilight Soundtrack yesterday!  I haven't been able to listen to the entire soundtrack yet, as I have been busy with the saga.  Although I made sure I listened to Rob's song and Bella's Lullaby first. :D

Eclipse [please don't read if you plan on reading this book]

I have just finished reading Eclipse (Stephenie Meyer), the third book in the Twilight Saga.

I LOVE IT! It was much better than New Moon, mainly because Edward played a bigger role in it. :p

So many "kilig" moments in the story - the way Edward talks, and how he does all in his power to protect the lady he loves. It's amazing how protective he is of her, very sweet and thoughtful (despite the fact that she was everyone's prey). I also like the frequency of how Edward puts his arms around Bella's waist. I've always thought of that act as somewhat screaming "ownership or possession". Like the guy is saying to everyone, "She's Mine".  I like it. Teehee. :D

It saddens me that the next book, Breaking Dawn, would be the last in this saga. I guess Midnight Sun would be the next novel to look forward to, but the release date has not yet been announced. *sob sob*

New Moon [please don't read this post if you plan on reading this book]

Okay, I started reading New Moon (Stephenie Meyer) Tuesday evening, and finished midnight on Wednesday. I just couldn't put the book down!

I warn once again, if you plan on reading New Moon - PLEASE DON'T READ THIS POST. :)

The main reason why I couldn't put the book down, was because I was waiting for Edward to physically get back into the story! (I won't go into too much detail) Every little whisper by Edward's velvet voice made me want to keep reading, hoping that he will once again show up in Forks. :p

It was sad (or kinda disappointing) that majority of the story was about Bella and Jacob. I'm like, "I'm not that interested in the warewolf, i wan't the bloodsucking dude!" LOL

Can't wait to get started with Eclipse. Hopefully Edward is physically present more often! :D

Twilight Saga

I bought all four books of the Twilight Saga from Borders today. I can't wait to continue the story! Exciting! :D

I Love EDWARD CULLEN! [I mean Twilight]

I just came back from watching Twilight at the movies and OMG - I LOVE EDWARD CULLEN! (After my dear hubby, that is) ;p

I'm not sure what's so good about that movie, but it was sold to me. :)

Maybe it's Edward Cullen - those eyes, that soft voice, that smile. LOL

Whatever it is, it made me want to buy all the books coz the movie was so "bitin"!!!

Gotta buy the books tomorrow. Gotta buy the books. :D

Twilight Fever

Now, I've heard about Twilight three times today - I'd say that is a sign. After reading the synopsis, I definitely want to grab a copy.  Might go and see the movie with my brothers when it comes out in Melbourne. Excited! :)
