Musical Movies

Musical movies. How I love them. They have such nice songs in the movie and the actors and actresses could break into songs even though they are in a conversation. Sometimes it makes me wonder how would they be able to do that if they are in real life. Haha..Can you imagine each one of us start singing songs relating to whatever we are talking with our friends, right there on the spot? Makes me wonder.

Here are some of the musical movies that I have watched.

Starting of the list is Mamma Mia. This movie is based on the songs of ABBA.


Next movie is the one we are all familiar and crazy about - High School Musical. The recent one is the 3rd installment - High School Musical 3 : Senior Year. They have great songs for this movie and I kinda got addicted to them. XD

Another nice movie that I managed to watch was Camp Rock. I did not know the movie was on Disney Channel till my 8-year-old sister told me about it. Since I've heard about it before, I havent actually watched it. Hence, I joined my sister and I gotta say, I really enjoyed it. Joe Jonas from The Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato are among the stars in this movie.

Times Square

Final exams are finally over for this sem, with Moral paper being the final paper. What a relief! And now its finally time for the holidays to start. Whee!!

The plans for an outing before my friends and I part ways for the hols? During the exam period, we sat down during lunch and actually came up with some suggestions. After discussing, we finally came up with two plans :

~ Plan A : Go to FRIM in the morning and walk in the jungle. In the afternoon, go for a movie.
~ Plan B : If it somehow rains today, go to Times Square and have fun.

Today, I woke up early and I was staring at the laptop screen as usual, when Kelv and Eng Hong came online. At that time it as already 8am, but still they havent made their move out of their house. Weird! Then suddenly, I was told of the change of plans : Execute Plan B since it rained the night before. Haha

Eng Hong, Willz, Adrian and I went to Times Square via public transport and met up with Yap and Kelv there. We went for the amusement park and had a great time being dizzy. LOL...I know, with the heart condition of mine, I am not up for the roller coaster, tomahawk thing and also the DNA mixer. Just the sight of them made me sick to the stomach. LOL

Then we went to Sushi King for lunch and went for a movie - Quantum of Solace, the latest James Bond movie.

As for dinner, we went to KFC, where we reminisced on our journey in UNITEN so far. A lot of funny, happy, sad, stressful things were mentioned. We couldnt stop laughing to the funny stuff and I think all of us will remember them for a long time. Its a good thing to see us sitting down, talking and laughing. To me, they are part of my 2nd family here. They are the closest people I know. The journey may not have been a smooth one during this semester, with its ups and downs and rough patches here and there, but I guess things work out for the best in the end.

As we parted ways by the end of the day, I couldnt help but feel a bit nostalgic. A part of me wish that the day will continue forever and the 'magic' will not fade, but I guess that is just wishful thinking. Haha

To the guys : Thanks for the great day! I really enjoyed the day with you guys! Happy Holidays!

To those who are still having final exams, I wish you all Good Luck!

Characters

While watching animes, I tend to notice the cute guys in the story. Of course, people notice all the beautiful and pretty things around them. So I am of no exception. Haha

The anime I am currently following besides Gundam00 is Special A. At first, when I heard of the title, I was wondering what kind of plot the anime has. However, once I started watching, i got hooked and i have to tear myself away from the laptop! At the same time, I could hear the small voice inside my head screaming "Its finals!!!!!"

One thing that got me so addicted to the show is that one of the characters in the anime is voiced by Jun Fukuyama, who so happened to voice the character Lelouch in Code Geass!! I was happy and excited because I really miss Code Geass and Lelouch. Ok, in this case, his voice. LOL

I really do admire Jun Fukuyama. Despite having a voice that sounds so cold, he also voiced the character Watanuki in xxxHolic. Wow, I have never thought it was him because Watanuki sounds so different in the anime...sort of high-pitched. Haha...Can I conclude he's a talented voice actor? XD

Take a look at the two guys below. Don't they look a teensy-weensy bit similar? *drool*
