[Porcelain Doll]

Goblet Of Fire wasn't up to my expectations. Well, I guess the director tried his best but he still failed to capture the essence of the book. I guess it was difficult considering that the book had 600+ pages. Nonetheless, it was disappointing.

It was way too dark and serious for my liking. Yup. The book was dark too but it also had its funny moments which the movie failed to capture. Some parts were too draggy while some were too brief. However, I liked the way Harry and Hermione have grown. They look absolutely gorgeous. I wouldn't say the same about Ron. Cho wasn't as pretty as the book described her to be. I also liked the guy who portrayed Viktor Krum. Though I thought Viktor and Fleur were nothing more than extras in the film cos their scenes were too short. That shouldn't be the case! Stupid Mike Newell! I miss Chris Columbus, especially after re-watching Chamber Of Secrets. I thought Alfonso Cuaron did a bad job with Prisoner Of Azkaban but Mike Newell did worse with Goblet Of Fire. Was anticipating the movie cos the book was fantastic but was sorely disappointed. Hope Order Of The Phoenix would turn out much better. Wonder when it would be out.

Enough about that. Guess what? Mummy got me Energy's greatest hits album <4ever> on my birthday! Actually it was released in early 2004. At that time, I just began to like them. Actually we were just browsing around in Sembawang Music while waiting for the movie to start. Then we caught sight of the CD and Mummy asked me if I wanted it as a birthday gift. Of course I said yes! It was a compilation of 12 songs from their first 3 albums plus 4 'new'(at that time, they were new) tracks. Even though it was released ages ago, I still loved it. There were obscure gems like 末日秀 from their second album. Love the lyrics. Though I didn't like the two remixes in Disc 2.

I'm thinking of changing my blogskin but can't find satisfactory ones. Also can't decide on the theme. Any suggestions?

The Closest Thing To Crazy - Katie Melua

How can I think I'm standing strong
Yet feel the air beneath my feet
How can happiness feel so wrong
How can misery feel so sweet

How can you let me watch you sleep
Then break my dreams the way you do
How can I have got in so deep
Why did i fall in love with you

This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known
But I was never crazy on my own
And now I know that there's a link between the two
Being close to craziness, and being close to you

How can you let me fall apart
Then break my fall with lovin lies
It's so easy to break a heart
It's so easy to close your eyes

How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn for you
How can anyone feel so wild
How can anyone feel so blue

This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen.
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known.
I was never crazy on my own
And now I know that there's a link between the two
Being close to craziness, and being close to you

And being close to you
And being close to you

She had always been instructed to be
Gracious and kind.
To act like that of a porcelain doll;
Speaking only when spoken to,
Moving only when asked to,
And smiling even when no one was looking.
She was beautiful and treasured,
But never meant to be touched or loved,
For how can one love an inanimate object.
