this is the best X'mas prezzie i've received in all 23-24 years. wahahah.. branded leh.. one of the 'aunties' got it from Swarovski.

Well, 2004 was bit of a surpise now. though Chinese new year is in next 3 days... frankly speaking, i CAN'T feel the atmosphere or the spirits...*sigh* CNY used to be fun. and i don't visit that many places now. which also means my 'ang baos' is also as little..HAH! nevermind then. i shall be happy though got to worry about some money matters.*sob* from now till the next payday is more than a month.

just before 2003 ended. i had a strange dream. didn't want to mention it in the previous post. 'cos i don't wanna kill the festive mood everybody were having. can't remember the details now. but it's strange, weird. and the only person i remembered i saw in the dream was actually a friend in secondary school. well, i can't say i didn't liked her at all.. it's more to the infatuation/ crushy type. i remembered one of my classmates liked her too. i shall continue this next time.

Lord of the Rings - the Return of the King

3 hrs. 30 min. The Fellowship's journey is coming to an end. Sauron's forces have attacked Gondor's capital of Minas Tirith in his final siege against mankind. Watched over by a fading steward, the once great kingdom has never been in more desperate need of its king. But will Aragorn find the strength to become what he was born to be and rise to meet his destiny? As Gandalf desperately tries to move the broken forces of Gondor to act, Théoden unites the warriors of Rohan to join in the fight. Even in their courage and passionate loyalty, the forces of men – with Éowyn and Merry hidden among them – are no match against the swarming legions of enemies raining down on the kingdom. With each victory comes great sacrifice. Despite their great losses, The Fellowship charges forward in the greatest battle of their lifetime, united in their singular goal to give Frodo a chance to complete his quest. Traveling across treacherous enemy lands, Frodo must rely increasingly on Sam and Gollum as The Ring continues to test his allegiance and, ultimately, his soul.

xiaoqiang says:basically, i waited for the crowd to die down the rush of the opening. so i can catch the show in peace, in comfortable viewing distance. what can i say. the movie has been on my waiting list for so long. and it's one of the must catch movie in the cinema. Good graphics, effects. great scenery. but the Hobbits seemed so gay in the movie. though that's their personalities in the book. it's kinda draggy towards the end. but still.. it moved my tears for their friendship.

Cheaper by the Dozen

Comedy and Kids/Family
1 hr. 55 min. When Tom Baker (Martin) gets a job offer to coach football at Northwestern University in Chicago, he and his wife, Mary (Hunt), move to the big city, which is a big change for them and their 12 children, who range from preschool-age twins Kyle and Nigel all the way up to 22-year-old Anne (Perabo) who has already left home. With the recent publication of her long-in-the-works book, Mary feels demands outside the home taking away as much time as Tom's new job does, so the two are forced to try to find new ways of parenting their massive tribe, but they find their parenting styles aren't always completely compatible.

xiaoqiang says: it's really hilarious. i really can't imagine myself having 12 kids. i really liked the last twins. remember to catch the NGs after the show.
