2009 Reflections
One more hour and it'll be the end of 2009.

Lunch @ Paradise Inn
Step into Paradise Inn and be greeted with a whole range of matching Chinese cutleries and furnitures. As you sit down on little red stools, you'll be served freshly steamed peanuts. This is irregardless of whether you've placed any orders for it or not. Of course, at the end of the day when the bill comes, you'll then realised that the yummy peanuts which you so hungrily devoured while waiting for your food to arrive is not complimentary.
The Pandora Box
pGame of the moment: Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box
credits:wikipedia
Professor Layton is back!!! While some of the puzzles are rather challenging, the rest of them are much easier than the puzzles in Professor Layton and the Curious Village.
Did I also mention that the graphics are much better too?
I really like the story plot and this time round, there are more mini games, which are all rather interesting and fun! You get to collect ingredients along the way to brew tea for the characters you meet in town.
All in all, a very satisfying game!! When will the next Professor Layton be out? Can't wait!

It's a looooooooong show! It's probably necessary, I guess. No point having a part 2 when you can just spend 1 hour more to finish up the story. Plus... if there's a part 2 I probably wouldn't want to sit through it.
So... what's all the hype about? I love the fantasy world created, the little details put into creating this world, this tribe. I love it how with every step you take, the ground kinda emits a bluish light. I love how you can connect to other beings with just a little flower-like thingy in your hair. I love the chants. I love the exotic new age songs.
There's action, there's fantasy, there's romance, all mesh into one. I wouldn't say it's a must-watch though. It was nice enough entertainment.

Elementary, My Dear Watson...
Movie of the moment: Sherlock Holmes
credits:wikipedia
Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law, Rachel McAdams... a very strong cast... and very well-casted too! Plot is amazingly well paced, you'll never be bored for a moment. I love that Robert Downey Jr is the one playing Sherlock Holmes, and he certainly exudes the right kind of charm. I love the boxing scene where Sherlock was calculating how much to retaliate and everything goes slow-mo. And then when he actually did do it, the whole scene changes to action.
Jude Law is one of my fav guys to watch out for. I love his image in this show with the moustache and all. I love how he plays Watson as a cool guy, as though nothing fazes him. I love it the Watsons character basically. Though I'm not too sure what his love affair has got to do with the plot.
I've been looking out for Rachel McAdams since The Notebook. Her sweet looks is very suitable for this role since it becomes very deceiving that a sweet girl like her can be so scheming. It becomes believable that she was able to outsmart someone as sharp as Sherlock Holmes.
Definitely a must-watch. And why do I get this feeling that there may be a part 2 coming up?

Babe Warriors
Anime of the moment: Shin Koihime Musou
If you've watched season 1 - Koihime Musou, and like it, you'll probably like this too. Nothing much has changed. The same old characters (with one or two more new ones), but different adventure. There's something about pretty anime girls who can fight that appeals to me.
And when you get a whole cast of females, there's bound to be yuri content.
Still, I really like this. Action + comedy + fan service is definitely the formula to a successful anime!

Italian Mafia
Movie of the moment: Gomorrah

Crime crosses all barrier. You don't need to understand Italian to be able to sense the tension throughout this film. Of course it helps that there are subtitles in English.
An eye-opener for someone holed up in safe, cozy little Singapore like me, I cannot even being to fathom having to lead a life as such, always having to check your back, always looking around you before dashing out of the house, always double locking your door and not let anyone you don't know it. And of course, statistics have already proven people are usually murdered by someone they know, not random strangers, which is even scarier.
I spent the whole film sitting on the edge of my chair, biting my nails and silently screaming "NOOOooooooo...."

I love it! 24 episodes of Kuroshitsuji and I haven't had enough. There's something about the black humor and all the eeriness floating around that is just so enchanting and intriguing.
What is black, what is white? Who is good, who is bad? Who to trust and who to depend upon?
This is an anime where the demons are the good guys and the angels are the bad guys. Interesting, isn't it?

This is those kinda light-hearted anime where you watched and laughed all at the funny, silly bits (it's a romantic comedy after all...) and then forget about it. Nothing impressionable, but I had fun.
Somehow I got this feeling the anime is targeted at the younger teenage girls. After, it's about first love.

2.0
Movie of the moment: Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance
If you've watched Evangelion: 1.0, you would probably still be lost watching 2.0. If you've watched the anime series itself, I don't know... you might have a better idea.
Evangelion is one of the oldest mecha anime around, after Patlabor, before Gundam.
If you're watching for action, there are tons of them. More so than 1.0. But I've got a feeling, everything is not as straightforward as it seemed. There are some pretty existential stuff going on there which you'll have to read between the lines. Definitely not for the general audience, unless you're a die hard Evangelion fan, or an anime fan, or a Maaya Sakamoto fan (yes, she's one of the seiyuu~♥).

Miracle Train
Anime of the Moment: Miracle Train
credits:animenewsnetwork.com
This is a very unusual anime. The bishounen are actually train stations and they are on this Miracle Train waiting for troubled ladies to board the train. Each time, there can only be one "customer". And the guys will try to help these ladies solve their problem before the ladies can leave the Miracle Train.
Sometimes abit too slow pace, I'll only recommend this to a hardcore anime fan like myself. I found it quite useful actually to learn about the Oedo line in Japan and what each station/area is famous. It helps when they depict quite realistic drawings of the stations and the surroundings.

Going for a 2nd round of wedding for Felix & Chernin in Melaka.
Along the way, our van broke down on the highway somewhere between Johor and Melaka. So I was able to take some nice pictures with my Eximus.

Cooking Mama 3~~~
Game of the moment: Cooking Mama 3
credits:wikipedia
It's out! Fans of Cooking Mama will be very happy to know that Cooking Mama 3 is out and it's better than before!
Certainly there are changes, or rather improvements, to the game play. The way you chop your veggies also get more realistic (read: more difficult). There's one particular Smoked Rainbow Trout, where one of the stages of cooking is you sun the trouts on a bar. It is especially difficult because while hanging up your trouts, you gotta make sure the rest of the trouts on the bar don't drop. It took me a number of times before I managed to get a perfect score for this dish!
There's also a reason why Cooking Mama 3 is called Shop & Chop. There's a "Shop" mini game, which is quite annoying and difficult!
If you haven't gotten sick of Cooking Mama yet, this will be THE game.

Movie of the moment: Surrogates

See Bruce Willis in his younger, digitally enhanced form., in Surrogates. A typical sci-fi film, it actually has quite an interesting plot. I also like th idea of having an alternate self where people can actually lost themselves in.
If you think about it, it's very much like the present. Everyone walking around the streets with a mask on. Just that many years down the road, when technology actually allows it, people get to walk around the streets with literalmasks bodies on. Nothing else has changed.
Though typical, I quite enjoyed the show. I may be bias but anything film with Bruce Willis in it, can't really be too bad!

A film about a dsyfunctional Japanese family, the execution was creative and sometimes, WTF. The film was full of contradictions. It was funny, yet not so funny, serious, but yet not so serious, amusing, yet empathetic.
My fav part was Claire de Lune. Somehow, the music bring out the whole mood of the film and you feel all the different feelings all at once. It was magnificent beyond words and it touched my heart. And of course, I cried...

One of my fav anime since Lucky Star. I'm not too sure what was it that attracted me to K-On!... maybe it's something to do with Yui being such an airhead, or Mio being such a cute moe~ or maybe it's gotta do with Sawakoせんせいbeing such a cosplay fanatic!
I thoroughly enjoyed all 13 episodes, though I must admit things start to get a little draggy near the end, but I still love it! If you're an anime fan, and got a thing for MAIDS (see Mio cosplay as a maid~~~ MOE~~~), this is the anime for you!

Interesting, fun and very thought provoking, 9 brings you on an adventure. There's really nothing not to like about 9.
I like it that each of the "doll" has their individual characteristics, and also how each doll is made different from the other. You can see how technology, trial and error, enhancements, have evolved the dolls from 1 all the way to 9. What worked, is kept, while what didn't worked, has been improved on, or changed. Quite the attention to details.
Out of the 9, I'm not too sure who is my fav! Probably, 8, who is a little himbo-ish, a little cute, and a little not too bright. Too bad he didn't hang around long enough. =X

Baseball~
Anime of the moment: Taishou Yakyuu Musume
credits:wikipedia
Taishou Yakyuu Musume is not your typical kinda shoujo anime. This anime features a group of girls living in the feudal Edo period in Japan where girls playing sports is being frowned upon. But because girls have their pride too, and they don't really like being told they are the weaker sex, they decided to form a proper baseball team to challenge the guys who looked down on them.
It's funny, interesting, and entertaining to watch. You get exposed to olden Japanese culture, where the popular sailor uniform is considered too westernised for proper female to wear since it exposes too much skin. Girls can't hold hands with guys. The closest you can get is to allow the guy to hold your handkerchief while you hold on to your end.
Plus, I love sports anime!

One word. Disturbing! Okay, maybe two words. Ultra Disturbing!!
For one, it feels pretty realistic. For another, some of the scenes are not exactly... nice. I like the execution at the start where it feels like a documentary, and the host goes around interviewing different people, getting their views.
I wouldn't say I didn't enjoy the film, but I felt rather disturbed and unsettled after watching.
Horror too close to heart?

Ji Hoo sunbaeeeeee~~~ I soooooo in love with his gentle nature, sweet smile... and his faithfulness.
I hadn't intended to watch this because initially I thought the girl lead not attractive. Plus I didn't wanna go through another series of this in another language. Elissa was raving about it though. Then I finished all my anime series and was left with nothing to watch... so I decided to give this a try.
It was something I haven't regretted. Though the main storyline and character traits follow the original quite closely, the series adapt quite alot of stuff to fit in their very own Korean culture, which I think is very nice! Plus all four F4 guys got enough coverage in here, and not just the curly hair Jun Pyo and the gentle Ji Hoo.
Another plus, this is the best F4 combi I've seen. Taiwan, Japan and Korea... the Korean F4 won hands down! How can all four guys be so utterly attractive! OMG!
Ee Jung sunbae has that wonderful smirk-smile which I can't help falling for! Woo Bin sunbae got that quiet, silly aura about him that's just so attractive, especially when he fights... so cute!!! Of course, there's Jun Pyo the lead guy... probably the only lead guy who can carry off that curly hair look and not look stupid.
I'm not forgetting the girls either. Jan Di, Gae Eul, Jae Kyung... I like them all!!!
Plus, Jan Di's parents are my fav Korean "dad" and "mum"!
Well developed plot and well developed characters. Very well done! Now I'm craving for some Korean food~~~

I was sooooo looking forward to this... because it's Johnny Depp! But... I was disappointed... Honestly I've seen him in better roles.
Merit... Johnny Depp's love interest in the show was quite attractive I find. Other than that... I really couldn't think of anything else. The movie was exceptionally long, think 2 half hours or so... with a rather meaningless plot line... or rather the script wasn't that well written. Love the OST though.
