Movies based on true story

The Blind Side. – directed by John Lee Hancock

Sandra Bullock won Best actor for the Oscar award. Very good acting. The Blind Side is based on the remarkable true story of Baltimore Ravens offensive left tackle Michael Oher. A homeless black teenager, Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) has drifted in and out of the school system for years. Then Leigh Anne Tuohy (Sandra Bullock) and her husband, Sean (Tim McGraw), take him in, transforming Michael’s life and theirs. With help from his new-found family, tutors and coaches, he realizes his potential as a student and football player.

The real kind Touhy family. They are really a very kind rich people who not being racism and change a kid’s life.

Next was The Invictus – directed by Clint Eastwood

The film tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela joined forces with the captain of South Africa’s rugby team to help unite their country. Mandela’s life was taken away for 27 years in Ruben Island prison for being arrested and convicted of sabotage and other charges. Newly elected President Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid. Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africa’s rugby team as they make their historic run to the 1995 Rugby World Cup Championship match.

The real Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela. The president of South Africafrom 1994 to 1999.

He was a prisoner who became a president. To unite his country, he asked one man to do the impossible.

The real Francois Pienaar

A former rugby player who captained and played flanker for the South African Springboks national rugby union team.. He led the Springboks to victory in the 1995 Rugby World Cup with inspired by Mandela.

I likey one sentence of Invictus Poem by William Ernest Henley.

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Iris Korean Drama

Just finish my korea drama again *sigh* that’s why I always so scare of starting to watch a new drama because I will get so additive to it SO SO addictive.

But Iris definitely worth my time watching SO So So So damn nice. This one very different from what normally I watch in korean drama. Iris are more to mature relationship, serious story plot, involve alot of action and thiller niceeeeeeeeeeee I love.

The plot revolves around two friends from the 707th Special Mission Battalion recruited into a secret South Korean black ops agency known as the National Security Service. Of the pair, recruit Kim Hyun-jun begins to uncover evidence that his foggy past may not be so irrelevant to his joining of the secret organization after all. As the two friends find their loyalties tested and forge new, unlikely alliances, the journey takes them from their home country to Hungary, Japan, and China where they find themselves at the center of an international conspiracy.

Even by just watching the actor and actress also *fuh* Handsome like hell, pretty like heaven Handsome not like what the previous drama I watched those more pretty boys type but this one are very super yao yeng and DAMN macho handsome man. I know according to Wan Ting those are most aunty’s fan but I love man more than guy. *blush*

Start from top left :

Lee Byung-hun as Kim Hyun-jun : Very yeng I think he’s now my new target :oops:

Kim Tae-hee as Choi Seung-hee : Goddess!!! The most pretty actress in Korea (according to Chuu Syn’s taste)

Jung Joon-ho as Jin Sa-woo : Quite cute at sometime.

Bottom left :

Kim So-yeon as Kim Seon-hwa : I start to like her bit.

Kim Seung-woo as Park Cheol-young : Eventough he doesn’t look handsome when 1st see him but he’s definitely the kind of guy that after see-ing a few times u will feel he not bad looking

T.O.P as Vick : I was kinda hate him when he 1st show up in the drama I think he super ugly with the eyeliner on him but after he took eyeliner off with a clean smart look oh well kinda yeng also heheheh

I rememeber when last time in year 2000 I watched All About Eve (夏娃的诱惑) I don’t like Kim So-Yean at all. Even when I started to watch Iris also I feel kinda discriminate her also but after a few episode I started to change my perspective of view towards her. Hmmm……. maybe because of the drama character hahahahahaha

Choi Seung-hyun, better known by his stage name T.O.P or TEMPO, is a South Korean rapper and actor. Best known as a member of the Korean boy band Big Bang. His character in the drama is a mysterious assassin working for an even more mysterious organization so actually ignore the evil character he quite Gaya also. *teehee*

Kim Tae-hee Oh my love I never like to see an actress as much as I like to see her alot. I started to like her back in the year of 2004 when she was the main actress for Love Story in Harvard. To me she’s soooooooooo pretty and so natural without the necessity to put on thick make up. If I am a guy I will definitely fall for her.

Lee Byung-hun. This picture had already tell why I am so into him hahahahahahaha look at his body man!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMGN. Ki siau weiiiii and he’s SO fucking yeng. Even the character in the drama also sipek good. So handsome, No joke!!! If Brad Pitt is the most handsome in western side and I think for me Byung Hun is the most handsome in Asian side.

Among other nominations and recognitions, Lee and Kim Tae-hee were also named as one of the best on-screen couples. They really make a perfect couple. *Thumbs up*

No matter how much I like the drama so much. there’s still I feel very sad was the ending :( I feel like crying when the moment I finish watching the ending SUXXXXXXX til the max!!!!!! I don’t like the ending. Maybe it was because I used to like to watch happy ending and suddenly this one BIG IMPACT to me even I’ve already know the ending by browsing through youtube before I reached to the end. hahahahahaa ( my bad habit ) but why lerrrrrr whyyyy my Lee Byung-hun die wor SO sadddd!!!! No doubt it was a very highly recommended best drama!!!!

9th April 2010

Got my immigration pass and passport ready.

was stuck in the line to pass the immigration check point for almost 1 and a half hour.

It’s so easy to go Macau from Zhu Hai. Like I mentioned in previous post in Zhu Hai all we need is to go over to GongBei port and walk to the immigration thats it. Don’t need to involve any transportation at all just your two feet.

After came out from here

Hello MACAUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Met up with our tour guide Miss Chong.

And start receiving all the messages like this.

Macau is a sin-city I guess. Too much casino here.

Everything in Macau look so Portuguese. This is called Portas do Cerco.

Saw an Esprit Outlet. There are alot in Hong Kong and I always thought Esprit in Hong Kong will be much cheaper than here but it prove me so wrong. It just the same like what we can get here. Deyammmm…..

How does the bus in Macau look like.

Their school uniform

and I guess this is the primary school uniform??? or different school got different uniform there?? I don’t know

Normally people go Macau they will certainly visit the St. Paul’s church and I don’t know why.

Spotted a boutique name Fatima and it reminds me of Farhana haha

In Macau they drive Toyota Corolla as taxi

Even the road sign board also in a very Portuguese style

Here we go

This is how the back of  The Ruins of St Paul’s Church look like

The Front.

Family’s shot.

went into the Crypt

Alot of Jesus statues in there

Paintings hanging on the wall

The Ruins of St. Paul’s (大三巴牌坊) refer to the façade of what was originally the Cathedral of St. Paul, a 17th century Portuguese cathedral in Macau dedicated to Saint Paul the Apostle. Today, the ruins are one of Macau’s most famous landmarks. In 2005, the Ruins of St. Paul were officially enlisted as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Macau.

Timeline

Cute doggie

and there’s a dog fight.

And beside the church it was a Na Tcha Temple 大三巴哪吒廟 is a Buddhist and Taoist temple in Macau dedicated to the worship of the deity Na Tcha.

The temple became one of the designated sites of the Historic Centre of Macau enlisted on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

and the Old Macau City Walls was made out of  clay, sand, rice straw, rocks and oyster shells. The city wall sections are now part of the Historic Centre of Macau UNESCO World Heritage Site also.

clay
sand
rice straw
rocks
oyster shells

Friendly guide.

This are a few houses in Macau

a small road side stall selling books and newspaper like we always saw it in the movies.

Aha! Caltex in Macau :)

Golden Dragon Casino

Hotel Golden Dragon

It’s a buffet lunch this time Woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Fuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yay!!!! Buffet.

1st round

2nd round

Actually I start to felt full but I still go for 3rd round. Yada yada yada I know I am greedy indeed SUper greedy :roll:

but you know the food in Villa Picasso *mmmmmmuaaaahhh* Delicious! or maybe just because for the past few days all the food I ate are always the same? Probably.

I realize in Macau they used to parked their bikes under the flyover and in Macau there’s alor of motorcyclist as well

we stopped at a Souvenirs shop to get our souvenirs bought and bring back home fresh.

Orient Arch 东方拱门

The Statue of Guan Yin, a blend between the traditional images of the goddess Guan Yin and Holy Mary. This Guan Yin statue looks sad and what according to my father was because Guan Yin feel sad to see all those people who came over to Macau just because they are all gamblers 赌鬼 hahahaha lameeeee joke. :roll:

The buildings in Macau all very Portuguese-ish nd the road are all quite steep.

Here we reached A-Ma Temple 妈阁庙 one of the oldest and most famous temples in Macau. The name Macau is thought to be derived from the name of the temple. It is said that when the Portuguese sailors landed at the coast just outside the temple and asked the name of the place, the natives replied “媽閣”. The Portuguese then named the peninsula Macao.

And I tend to like taking pictures with ROCK hahahaha WTF!

The blessings.

I like how the buildings structure in Macau look like

even a lamp pose also look nice to me. So vintage.

The famous Koi Kei shop.

8th April 2010

Went to Jin He Zhang Yao a chinese medicine store.

Golden tube

Then we headed to ZhuHai fisher girl statue 珠海渔女

The Statue of fisher girl has become the landmark in the city of Zhuhai, located at the scenic Xianglu Bay. She holds a pearl high in the air with both hands in an elegant pose, admiring its bright luster that also symbolizes the brightness of Zhuhai.
The statue is composed of granite and stands 8.7 meters high weighing 10 tons. The legend is that a beautiful fairy maiden fell in love with a young fisherman. He believed some fabricated rumors and asked the girl for the bracelet she wore as proof of her love.
Although she knew she would die if the bracelet were removed from her body, she still took it off and presented it to show her deep love for him. The girl died and the fisherman was bitterly remorseful, crying all day and all night.
An Immortal named Jiuzhou Elder was moved by their love and helped the young man resuscitate the girl. They offered this huge precious pearl to their benefactor during their marriage ceremony as a token of their appreciation for his kindness.

Among all the 6 places I went Zhu Hai is the most coldest place when I were there. The temperature is just 16 degree Celsius but the strong wind can really killed! I really felt like cold to death hahahahahaha

Instead of cable car if you prefer more adventurous you can actually take the sliding car down.

We didn’t want to go up so we just hang around the ShiJingShan park. 石景山

see all those rocky rock. haha Really so China, even a rock also can be a sightseeing spot.

Taught my no skill photographer mum to stand on a spot that can actually took the both rock into one piece of picture.

Next was actually my heaven again.

The Gongbei Port 拱北口岸  is an immigration and customs checkpoint on Mainland China’s border with the Special Administrative Region of Macau but there is a large underground shopping mall under the plaza north of the port-of-entry building.

Wooooooahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! my world. Imma gonna rule the world. wheeeeeeeee~ ♥ shop til drop. I think among all I bought the most. *evil grin*

After satisfied myself with all my goodies we took our bus back to our hotel and had dinner beside our hotel. It is an art restaurant.
