oscar prediction 2011

My annual routine for the Oscar. Though i've been busy lately, haven't updated the blog for a looong time, but i don't wanna miss this. With the convenient of the internet access, for the first time, i manage to catch most of the films before i did my predictions. I've watched 7 outta 10 movies from the list i predicted, and i have the other 2 that haven't watched. Well, again, i've said this every single time, the game is all about who will win, instead of who should. So, here it is,

Performance by an actor in a leading role:
Jeff Bridges, "True Grit"
Robert Duvall, "Get Low"
Jesse Eisenberg, "The Social Network"
Colin Firth, "The King's Speech"
James Franco, "127 Hours"

This year's race is the weakest in years, and there are 2 candidates were last year's nominees.

The leading gentlemen

Performance by an actor in a supporting role:
Christian Bale, "The Fighter"
Matt Damon, "True Grit"
Andrew Garfield, "The Social Network"
Mark Ruffalo, "The Kids Are All Right"
Geoffrey Rush, "The King's Speech"

All seems likely except Damon, i pick him again because i don't really like Jeremy Renner from the Town.


Performance by an actress in a leading role:
Annette Bening, "The Kids Are All Right"
Nicole Kidman, "Rabbit Hole"
Jennifer Lawrence, "Winter's Bone"
Natalie Portman, "Black Swan"
Julianne Moore, "The Kids Are All Right"

Ironically, the actress race is the strongest in years, only Portman and Bening are locked, Moore is at the vulnerable 5th spot, competing against Swank, Williams, Rapace, and even Steinfeld who is currently having confusion on category fraud.

The leading leadies

Performance by an actress in a supporting role:
Amy Adams, "The Fighter"
Helena Bonham Carter, "The King's Speech"
Mila Kunis, "Black Swan"
Melissa Leo, "The Fighter"
Hailee Steinfeld, "True Grit"

... again, it's my least concern category.


Best animated feature film:
"Toy Story 3"
"How to Train Your Dragon"
"The Illusionist"

Achievement in directing:
Darren Aronofsky, "Black Swan"
David Fincher, "The Social Network"
Tom Hooper, "The King's Speech"
Christopher Nolan, "Inception"
David O. Russell, "The Fighter"

For this category, i'm really too amateur to comment, but Aronofsky is kinna cute.


Best picture:
“127 Hours”
“Black Swan”
“The Fighter”
“Inception”
“The Kids Are All Right”
“The King's Speech”
“The Social Network”
“The Town”
“Toy Story 3”
“True Grit”

I still think 10 films are a bit too much to be nominated, not being judgmental, but it's uneasy to see some over-rated movie to squeeze in, this year's case, the Town.

The top-ten

Writing, Adapted Screenplay:
Michael Arndt, "Toy Story 3"
Simon Beaufoy, Danny Boyle, "127 Hours"
Joel and Ethan Coen, "True Grit"
Debra Granik, Anne Rosselini, "Winter's Bone"
Aaron Sorkin, "The Social Network"

Writing, Original Screenplay:
Lisa Cholodenko, Stuart Blumberg, "The Kid Are All Right"
Mark Heyman, Andres Heinz, John J. McLaughlin, "Black Swan"
Christopher Nolan, "Inception"
David Seidler, "The King's Speech"
Scott Silver, Paul Tamasy, Eric Johnson, "The Fighter"

See you again in the prediction for the winners.

happy 2011

my place 1

Step a side from the headache thingy, talk about something more headache! Nah, it's actually some contentment. But actually it's quite headache also.

Beside being thrown around in the circle of affection, i've been quite busy settling my new place. I wasn't so exciting about, it was more of a hassle, :p. But as i starting to see some outcome, i guess am please. Well, i guess i should feel excited about it, shouldn't i?! Sigh, still some more work to be done before i can move in. Defects, some wiring work, lights & fan installation, minor reno, & curtains... Sigh, finger cross, that i can move in this month.

Some pictures to share...

happy 53th birthday

Haha, never thought there will be somebody who tracks my blog for updates, :p

好多謝Chris, 亦都唔好意試辜負咗你，是時候update下啦！

Chris was asking about my update for the instant 2, but i really didn't know what to say, well i still don't. I thought it was too instant, i even felt 'pai sei' to write it down, furthermore, now that is over, i don't see a point to write it down neither... ok, maybe i'll try to write.

Everything that happened to me this few months is just crazy , i talked to my girlfriends, they were like, wow, what's wrong with me, or am i alright? It's just way too crazy... I asked my girlfriends could it be the place? or was it me?? Since i moved in here in April, my adventure has never been stopped! Ya, i've been meeting guy after guy, i even told myself, whoa... Okay, the instant 1 might be a mistake, since i never been in this 'thing' for so long, maybe i thought, ok, that could be it, and i blew it. Then, i thought mmm, maybe the instant 2 seems more likely, i tried, i really did, but it didn't last longer than a menstrual cycle, ops. I was quite numb then, i thought, ok, even if i wasn't getting any, whatever.

Then he came, ya, the instant 3, well because there were all too instant, even more instant than i could have time to put them in particular post, so you didn't miss the post of instant 3 or 4. Again, i couldn't believe it, i've been single for almost 3 fucking years, once it comes, it comes together. It was unbelievable.

Mr instant 3, at first i thought we are so distance, we come from different part of the world, i took it as a no in the beginning, but it progressed. Actually, i was a bit disappointed when i first met him, he wasn't what i pictured he'd be, and he didn't gimme anything that i would think am through. But... the night went well. Phew, i thought... have i? was i? I thought i had something, but there is a 'but'. Well, at least i know i've had fallen for him, i was sure just for that few days. I believe that when the thing come, you will really know. Ya, even if he's stinks, fat, arrogant, stupid, childish, ignorant, rude, obnoxious, or he's a total dickhead or asshole. I think i always fall for the wrong guy, dickhead, straight guy, somebody's boyfriend... hmm.

to be continue...

an instatant 2

我真系唔知广么咯。。。

world cup 2010

World Cup started 11th last month, has come to the last 4 matches & 4 teams. Wow, i think am still on the fever of the tournament. I'm never really a football fan, not for those never-ending premiere league, FA Cup, UEFA... but i do watch some big game, like EURO, COPA and love the world cup.

I started the first world cup when i was 12. I remember it was 94, the USA's. I guess it was because of my dad, and i was really nurtured to the magical attraction of the world cup. And it was also the time i started to fell for Italy. Thinking back the year, i still remember the faces of Roberto Baggio, Dino Baggio, Pagliuca, Maldini... Wow, it was all 16 years ago. The year belonged to Brazil. I was so sad that Italy lost, and i had to go to school after the match. I've been supporting Italy since then, and also a motivation to wait for Italy's vittoria . Finally, Italy won their due last world cup, 2006, the Germany's. I was watching at home, alone, i danced, silently screamed (others were sleeping), i was so happy.

the 94's Italy squad

Then i thought, so maybe that was it. I lost my objective to watch the world cup. But when this year world cup come back, i'm still on it, i can still feel the fever, it still evokes the beauty of the wolrd's biggest game. I guess the addiction has been planted since then, by my dad. Tell you what, actually it is also a special bound between me and my dad, to talk about the world cup, it's been the most interesting topic between the 2 of us, :).

Another interesting thing that i discovered recently, and i find it quite funny, there are really no gay watch football, are there? I've looked around, no, no one, nobody at all! So the farnie part is, i guess am not that gay after all, ain't i? Hahahaha. Well, maybe 1, i guess Ryan is the only one. I enjoy this world cup also because i have kaki at office, you guys rock! I still can't get over that am the only gay around myself that really into world cup, tsk tsk tsk, hahahaha...

This world cup has nearly come to an end. 2 of my biggest favorite had lost, Argentina & Italy. Now left only Uruguay, Netherlands, Germany & Spain. I really hoped that this could be Arg, sigh, they have to wait for another world cup. It'll be in Brazil, 2014! I'll definitely still on it, the 20th anniversary of my world cup watching!

casey...

It's been 4 & a half years, how could i don't feel a thing? We've been together for 4 & a half years.

It's actually longer than i expected. Even when the seller sold him to me, he said i would change it after 2 years, but it lasted for 4+. It might not be that long compare to some others, but i guess it's not a short period of time...

I'll definitely miss you, Casey.

Casey & i

the other thing i miss about Casey,

the Kenwood player that had accompanied me for years

Ciao!

awareness

Suddenly, i aware that my blog is just toooo dull, i shouldn't keep on blogging about the unhappiness. Happy wonderful things are those that i need to keep, remember, store, continue to have!

I was actually reading others blog, isn't blog is about sharing, spreading joy, happiness, luck?!?! Then why am i still having all the dullness, unfortunate thingy!?!? Stop!

Ok, first, i went back to Perak last weekend, by accident, i didn't plan to go back, but i did go back. It was a 24 hours hometown trip, definitely tiring, but unexpectedly, it turned to be quite delightful. The World Cup has started, i spent time watching football with my dad, i spent time with family, it was great. I went out with friends, good friends, we had fun! It was really nice. Love it.

They really a bunch of old good friends of mine, it was wonderful!

an instatant 1

Phew, it was so fast. It's like had taken too much of amphetamines.

... continued

When i don't have it, i always want it, now that i have it, i don't want. Sigh, isn't it ironic.

The whole thing just seemed not right for me, i know it's so selfish to say things like that, but i don't lie, or i just don't act...

'I don't know', seems like it's the only thing i could say about it. I'm really clueless. But i know i feel sorry to him...

212

Ha, finally, i got the registration number for Colby. 212! I tendered for it, and actually i submitted the tender for more than a month ago, then waited for the results to come out, now that i finally got it, phew... happy!

just can't point it out

Was so hunger to put this in words, i was a bit lost, soo need to say it out, and wanted to throw it here too, but had no time to do this, now am about to sleep, reserve it first.

Instead, i actually borrow my gals' ears, thank you so much for the ears, my lovely ah Char & Skey. I needed it badly, luckily you were there.

Btw, thanks Chris too. Seems like he's 1 of the very few people who still reads this. Hahaha.

... to be continue

another deal breaker

The last time i online at home was about a month ago, just got my malcolm fixed. And i have a feeling that he's so new & fresh to me, and i starting to fall in love with him all over again.

Oh, the deal breaker, am i that unattractive? Or am i just an unlucky chucky? First the straight boring ladysmith, then the good-looking somebody else's boyfriend, now the cute attached alvaro. All the deal-breakers... I kinna had a day or two down, but i guess i have to move on...

Still waiting for that something good to happen on me...

another move

Just moved to my friend's place last week. It was my 7th move in 10 years.

and the oscar goes to...

Sigh, Julianne Moore didn't make the cut for the nomination, neither does Tom Ford. Anyway, here's my prediction for the winner.

Performance by an actor in a leading role:
Jeff Bridges, “Crazy Heart”
Though i hope it'd be Firth, he was great in a Single Man, but i know this is still not his year, Bridges has got all the love, he could even made Maggie Gyllenhaal got nominated, so it's Bridges.

Performance by an actor in a supporting role:
Christoph Waltz, “Inglourious Basterds”
No question. Well, i've watched Bastards, he's real good.

Performance by an actress in a leading role:
Meryl Streep, “Julie & Julia”
Many say it's Bullock, but i really hope it's Streep, It's time for her third oscar, the last time she won was 28 years ago, and she deserves it. Streep!

Performance by an actress in a supporting role:
Mo’Nique, “Precious”
Hands down.

Best animated feature film:
“Up”

Achievement in directing:
Kathryn Bigelow, “The Hurt Locker”
The first female to win.

Best picture:
“The Hurt Locker”
Avatar is soo boring...

Writing, Adapted Screenplay:
“Up in the Air,” Jason Reitman and Sheldon Turner

Writing, Original Screenplay:
“The Hurt Locker,” Mark Boal

Ha!

a late 1

It's been almost a month since my birthday...

I had this weird thing when i was young, i never liked being the center of attention, so i don't even like my birthday. But as i grow older, i'm feeling more comfortable with it, maybe sometimes i would even enjoyed.
Hmm, this year my birthday was wa... wa... wa... It's was 1 of the worst in years. I didn't even had 1 decent birthday celebration. Ok, i still received plenty of sms on the day, a few calls and that's it. Ya. I blamed it to the CNY, it was too close to the CNY, maybe that's why nobody would give a damn any nonsense happens 2 days before the CNY. Well, i might be ok with that, since i'd never expected anything to happen, but please allow me to feel a bit pathetic... sigh... sob sob... and maybe sad...
Then there goes the CNY, after i got back to KL, i attended a CNY luncheon, oh, i met my louis girl, she bought me a present, i was sooo touch. On top of that, i liked the present sooo much, it's Dolce's anthology perfume! and it's no. 6!!! I like it! Thank you soo much, girl!

the L’Amoureux 6

Then when i got back to work, ohh, i got another present from Farina, and it's a Beret! it's from Ted Baker!! it's from London!!! I liked it sooo much too. Muaks Fa!

the Ted Baker's Beret

It actually made my birthday. I was happy. Can't thanked much to them.
After a while, i had a informal birthday brunch with my bff's. It's was nice too. I might not had a happening birthday, but it's the quality that counts. Thank you, gal.

Breakfast at Tiffany's

And thanks y'all for the sms and calls too!

I think it was 1 of the longest time that i gone home. I spent 9 days in hometown this time, i couldn't imagine that. I always think that i wouldn't be able to stay in hometown more than a week, and i never do. Another CNY has passed by. When i was young, i never liked CNY, as i grow older, i still don't like, but i can't deny that it's such a great time for family reunion. It's probably a once a year time for us to get together, and i became more and more appreciate the quality time that we spend.

As usual, a lotta feast, lotta food. I always amazed by my mums' super power, how could she has the endless stamina to do all the things? Cookings, laundry, cleaning, it's really tiring, not only that, she had to work during CNY! Ya, she's still working, and her job never had leave or off day, though she only works 4 days a week.

2nd day of CNY is also my dad's birthday, we celebrate his birthday every year.
My adorable parents & their grandchildren.

And my family is growing bigger, this year my 2nd sis brought her boyfriend to join 1 of our feast also, then there are 14 of us, 14! from the original 6 family members! Sooner the dining table won't be able to fit us. Then i thought could that be 1 day my turn to bring somebody home to join the big family dinner? Not like am having somebody now, even if i do, how would that be appropriate?

My 2 sis & my grandma.

My elder sis, Mrs Heng & Mr Heng & Jason & Regina.

My bro & his daughter

My sis in law & her kids

CNY also a perfect time for old friends gathering, just that i didn't do much this year, i spent more time with my family, ok, it's a sign of aging.
I feel old... Happy CNY!
