Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Except for the obese Indian lady in purple, sitting beside me, on Seat K13, in GV Bishan Cinema 4, at 1830hrs, who was digging her teeth with a hairpin (no, not implying anything nor attempting to make a seditious remark, purely factual and disgusting!), it was an entertaining movie. I must confess that I have never read a single Rowling book, neither am I a big fan of Potter, so hopefully my short review will be a fair one - based completely on the movie itself.

I must say this is the best of the series so far (yes, for the movies, I have watched every single one of the last three in the series). The CG is still fantastic! I love the blue goblet flame. More mythical creatures - dragons and unicorns. There was less of scenes of charming children with magick and trickeries. There were more of emotional ups and downs, moments when I was touched by Harry's little victories and cheers from his friends, and moments when my girlfriend shed some tears for Cedric Diggory. But despite all the hype about Harry's love interest, Cho Chang, only appeared in a handful of scenes. That was abit disappointing. I guess she will be appearing more in the next movie. So much for the "sexual jealousy" among Harry and his friends, except for one scene when Hermione Granger revealed the product of her puberty to Ron Weasley. lol. I hope you ain't thinking of anything funny! I'm talking about her attempt to get back at Ron for not behaving like a big boy when it comes to matters of the heart.

I think that is all I can reveal about the show. My rating for the Goblet of Fire is 4 outta 5, you gotta catch it. I will leave you with some meaningful words from Prof Dumbledore, "Soon you'll face the decision between the right or easy. Remember, your friends will be with you!"

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

I Will Be Back With More Time.

It is more than two years since I last blogged! Not that nothing interesting happened. In fact, plenty happened! Shifted house, shifted office, boys grew, had Hand Foot Mouth Disease (ouch!)! Just to name a few. There were gains and losses. Life's ups and downs. Of me, and those around me. I haven't been doing much deep thinking and thus less writing. Not enough time? That is probably an excuse. But it is true that I have not slept well for quite awhile. It is hard to explain the stress from work, where nothing goes smooth, and every step forward is a hurdle. Technology also had made it simple and addictive for us to mindlessly share. Share our thoughts in bits and pieces. Forming persona of ourselves to acquaintances and friends I hardly meet anymore. I remember experimenting with Tumbler, finding ways to post once, publish everywhere. It didn't quite work out. Even when technology made it is so easy, I have not been diligently editing and uploading photos of my darlin
