merry christmas!

because it’s subjective, really ;)

hope you guys are having a merry rockin’ turkeylicious christmas!

same difference?

christmas has always been my favourite time of the year, hands down. i love everything about it. at first i was upset. upset that for the first time i won’t be spending it in malaysia, won’t be carolling or singing with them yf peeps i miss so much, won’t be grinning at the noisy gathering of relatives huddled around the roast turkey nestled in the middle of the food-filled table, won’t receive a heap of “merry christmas!” sms-es from everyone at the stroke of midnight, won’t be with him on our anniversary, won’t be mall-hopping and being part of the last-minute christmas shopping hord, won’t be gawking at the christmas deco in midvalley that’s always so beautiful, won’t be greeted by the huge christmas tree in suria klcc that reminds me more of a giant green cone, won’t be having mince pies and those mini tarts delifrance only has on christmas time, won’t be…

well, i could go on forever, really. but then i think,

sure the christmas deco in the mall isn’t that of midvalley, but the boxing day sale’s been talk of the town and i can’t wait to go shop shop shop. i’ll just have to make do with the boxed mr kipling’s mince pies from coles which is pretty awesome, really after 15 minutes in the oven. i won’t be a part of the yf team this christmas but i’ll still remember the real reason we sing those carols every year. the huge green cone in queen st would give the one in klcc a run for it’s money. we’re still gonna reach 2 years despite the distance between us. we’ll still  be having our own countdown, in front of the laptop screen. well i am anyway, for the latter. there won’t be a gathering of relatives but i’ll still be around my family and friends who are pretty much family too. it’s still going to be christmas, and i’m still going to love every minute of it.

giant green cone, queen st, sometime in december.

say it. out loud.

when i read the books i was so drawn to the bella-edward relationship; call me a hopeless romantic but the intensity and the commitment between them were so compelling. sadly, i felt none of that when i saw the movie. sigh not even a nudge. maybe it’s the really bad directing, or the fact that robert pattinson had the same expression on his face throughout the whole movie. or that the audience broke into applause when bella and edward started kissing -.- there just wasn’t that connection between kristen and robert.

and all the little things that made it a rather un-twilight-ish experience for me. like the inappropriate laughing. especially every single time jasper’s on screen. no laughing at jasper, ok! >( speaking of jasper, his powers weren’t even mentioned…they prolly didn’t know how to portray it on-screen. and what’s with using ava from grey’s anatomy as esme!??! why why why!? call me bias but i just couldn’t see her as esme at all :( i love emmett though, he’s exactly how i pictured him to be!

“is she even italian?”
“her name is bella”

:D

charlie and jacob were great, i wish jacob’s hair was less weird lookin though. i thought it was supposed to be tied in a ponytail to give him a rugged kinda look. instead, he looks like a girl with a bad hair day x.x i still think taylor lautner is major eyecandy though :P right next to carlisle and edward! carlisle can seriously be the next dr mcdreamy or mcsteamy *O* and the baseball scene was awesome, best part of the movie in my opinion. and they’ve got a great soundtrack. i love bella’s lullaby. and paramore’s decode has been one of my most played tunes. disappointed it wasn’t used in the movie though :(

anyways with the new director, i’m really hoping for a much better sequel… and robert please do better next time, please please? :(

the silence makes me so frustrated. sigh. does it usually take this long?

why does it feel like it isn’t the same anymore. and yet so similar in other ways.

strangled. consumed. want.

out.
