Chinese New Year, 恭喜发财!

Happy Chinese New Year to all who're celebrating! ^^
Like every CNY, after our family tea ceremony, my family and I went for lunch at ah-ma's place (dad's side) first. The food are almost similar each year as well: chicken curry, 'zha chu yuk' (by mom), 'fat choy', 'chu tou thong', sea cucumber -idunnowhat, and 1 more pork dish I dunno what name. 4 out of 6 dishes are pork! ^^; Heavy rain poured during late afternoon, and then we went over to poh-poh's place (mom's side) for dinner.

For dinner, poh-poh prepared a simple one 'cos we're all stuffed from our previous meal: 'zha chu yuk' (again, but the dry version, & the *original* 'cos poh-poh made it), braised chicken, and minced-meat + taufu + vege. Yeeeaaaaahhh... and like every CNY's first day, my stomach is stuffed for the WHOLE DAY >8DD *eat first, worry later* Tidbits -> lunch -> dessert -> tidbits again -> dinner -> tidbits -> <(^@^)>
There's no gambling sessions today though, but I don't gamble anyway. Thus end our 1st day of CNY for this year.

Pan's Labyrinth
Anyone who likes dark fairytale stories with a little twist of military-rebels conflict (and some graphical violence) would love this movie. And I love it ^^ except for its graphical violence. The movie poster looks like a Alice in Wonderland or Spirited Away kind of movies for kids but it's NOT. [Spoiler]For example Vidal sewing his slashed mouth (side) with a needle slooowly, Vidal continuously hitting the guy's nose till it breaks & still goes on (in a same camera angle) *ouch ouch ouch* & so on. Some bloody scenes.[/Spoiler] Storywise it's something like Tim Burton's; metaphorical and it'd make you wonder after watching the movie. And I love its cinematography as well T_T (Ofelia's bathroom reminds me Silent Hill)...;;

The Prestige
Good movie no.2, borrowed the disc from Shyu's place ^^ It has lotsa plot twists me thinks (my brain works slow? lol) But I certainly enjoyed this movie. Unexpected events and Hugh Jackman makes me love this movie <3 Didn't notice David Bowie was Tesla until the end credits. And the end credits theme song is good ^^ I've put it up so anyone interested or is looking for it you could download it here ("Analyse" by Thom Yorke).
