Pictures That Paint A Thousand Words....

     I saw these pics while I happened to browse through the Time website one day. Thought they were interesting naturally! =D

Drag

Taxis in Chongqing municipality have to line up to get their tanks filled. Gas was in low supply as much of it was diverted to the north of the country which has been hit by powerful snowstorms.

     Hmm... I think I would probably forgo driving if I have to wait that long for petrol!! 

Balloon of Death

Hot air balloons fly during the Hot Air Balloons Festival in Leon, Mexico.

     That's one scary giant thing to have in the sky but I thought nothing much of it. However, the longer I looked at it, I couldn't help this thought that came to my mind, "Wonder how long it'll be before we see a giant Edward or Jacob up there!" Ha ha! Hey, it could happen! Twilighters are very resourceful, as we all know. 

Adonis Still on the Prowl! Brace Thyself!

     Since we are still drunk on the essence of New Moon, I'm sure no one would complain that yet more outtakes have surfaced from Rob's Vanity Fair photo shoot! Oooh la la!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     Gosh, how cute is this one? I can stare at this sleeping angel's face for hours on end....

I Survived New Moon!!

     I survived New Moon, thank goodness!

     I was getting a little apprehensive when so many of my mates made comments that they wished they "could see my face in certain scenes" or that "Noor is going to die when she watched this film".

     I was bracing myself for it and I dare say there were some scenes where I'd purposely covered my mouth with my shawl just in case I would gasp out too loudly.

     Chris Weitz is definitely a master tale weaver! It won't surprise me at all if he admits to being a wizard!  New Moon is a definite masterpiece! I fell even more in love with Bella - Kristen Stewart is truly amazing! Taylor looked vastly different as pre-transformation Jacob and after! Wow! And Edward, oh Edward.... Rob did a magnificent job even as an apparition for most of it! I reckon the CGI wolves were truly spectacular!! I actually felt the hall vibrating as they thundered by!  I can see why Chris liked mentioning Phil Tippet so much now! Wow!

     Everything is just amazing in this movie! I need to watch it again to soak it all in!  I'd go again tonight if I could but would you believe it, the two sneak preview screenings at the cinema near my place this evening are both sold out! Go Summit!!!

     Oh and once again the spirit of Twilighters were evident that night. Since I won the tickets randomly, the seating arrangement was all over the place. My sis was sitting three seats away from me, much to her chagrin.  But we were fortunate since we met with the same gals from the New Moon Festa and they offered to move so that my sis and I could sit together. Awww.... I love Twilighters!

Some pics of the eve/night!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today is When I Assuage My Yearning....

     The day has finally come! The day that I assuage my yearning of my beloved Bella, Edward and Jacob, the Cullens, the Quileutes, while at the same time bracing myself for the horror of looking at Laurent, Victoria and the Volturi! 8pm can't come soon enough for me!

 

 

        I've really missed my favourite characters - Bella, Edward and the Cullens in particular - and that has truly intensified as the movie was released in many parts of the world.  I know those unfamiliar with the series would think us crazy for such yearnings for fictional characters but if they read the books, they would understand how endearing and compelling they truly are that one can't help but be swayed along with the rush of emotions of millions of Twilighters around the world!   And the fact that these actors portray them so well, makes it all the more surreal!

     As it is, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, has managed to break all records from the moment of its release and the wave continues to crest with no sign of abating as yet.  It should be noted that the film has yet to be shown in many areas, including Singapore, Malaysia and some parts of the Middle East, but has already managed to reap in US $258 million.  The first movie, Twilight, earned US $380 millions and I'd predicted that New Moon could very well reach the US $450 million mark.  However, judging from its continued good performance, it won't surprise me at all if it earns US $500 million in total!  Interestingly enough, the LA Times predicts that final numbers could very well be in the US $700 million range! Talk about radical!
