- 戊子年大年初一 -

Firstly, I would like to wish all of you 鼠年行大运，身体健康，万事如意, 心想事成。Huat ah!!!!

A typical 大年初一, everyone will b visiting relatives and all busy 拜年-ing. But for me, tis is the 2nd year that its Home Resting time. No visiting on the 1st day. Usually ppl will visit their grandparents on the 1st day. But for me, my ah gong and ah ma have already passed away. Wats left is my 爷爷 and 奶奶 BUT!! Due to some circumstances, we will not visit them. Some of you might think that its 不孝, but for those who noe what they have done to us. U all will noe wats happening~ :D

For this 大年初一, I actually watched 2 MOVIES!!! 2 贺岁电影 in 1 Day... LoL~~

They are《老师家老大》&《功夫灌篮》!!!

《老师家老大》

Cast: Fann Wong, Mark Lee
Director: Jack Neo
Genre:Comedy/ Drama
Language: Mandarin
Release Date:7 February 2008

Ah Long Pte Ltd is a light-hearted black comedy about the triad world and the money-lending business. The movie takes on a humorous and sarcastic treatment on the underworld. It depicts how a young lady, Li Hua (Fann Wong) tries to restructure her money-lending triad into a professional and 'loving' triad that stands against the use of violence after she takes over from her triad leader (Richard Low) who retired. Her various restructuring plans (which are no doubt very creative) bring about hilarious results.

Li Hua tired of her mother's constant nagging to get married, she finally relented and proposed to Mr Fang (Mark Lee), an effeminate dance instructor cum image stylist. Surprised to many and even herself, Mr Fang accepted the proposal. The unusual union, despite the misfits, soon blossom into love.

This show its very Singapore and very Jack Neo, nothing new. Jokes are as expected, not really funny thou... The only funny part is the always ask the ahneh come out use his indian accent say a few sentences, den he will start mumbling in Tamil. =__="

I even fell asleep towards the ending. Seldom will i sleep while watching movie, but tis show did it! No wonder it has bad ratings!! This show, u definitely can give it a MISS!
Rating: 1/5


2nd Show for the day is
《功夫灌篮》


As i have already add in some synopsis in my previous post, i will not post it here..

This show did not let me down!!! Enjoyed it very much, every bit of it. Pace is cool, juz nice. Effects and everything is Good. There are funny times, emotional times and comical times... The theme song 《周大侠》totally blends right into the show seamlessly. Jay's acting improved in this show. Really enjoyed it and so did those ppl in the same cinema as me! This is the movie u CANT MISS!
Rating: 4/5
