Cold Mountain

I've always wanted to watch this movie since my sister recommended it many years ago. Somehow I never got a chance to do it. Finally when my sister came to Sydney for a visit, we managed to rent this movie and watch during one of the nights.

I was mesmerized from the start. This is the sort of love story I look for, set in wartime. The ending was somewhat sad but I did appreciate the acting especially by Jude Law. No doubt by now, he is a good actor and I absolutely am crazy over him.

As for Nicole, every movie she acts, she has only style and it's so Nic. Critics were harsh on her, but I thought they should give her a break. People don't like her acting yet they still want to watch her, how weird.

If you haven't watched this show, I recommend it highly if you are a sucker for love story. The music is brilliant too, which sets the mood for the entire movie.

Happy New Year 2009!

Happy New Year to all.

What a great ending for 2008 and a great start for 2009. I had an awesome Christmas gift and also took my sister to watch fireworks last night. It was spectacular although I cannot tell you which year is the best cause every year seemed impressive beyond comparison.

They say time pass us by in a blink of an eye, but both my sister and I agreed, it wasn't exactly that fast. Imagine if you were to relive the whole year again starting from January 1, 2008 till last night, would you have thought it to be that fast? Probably not. It wasn't fast, nor was it slow too. But what matters most is that we made use of every minute we have and we are satisfied to have achieved more things in life, than yesteryear.

Today, we invited a good friend over for New Year. We wanted to watch the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, but due to unforseen circumstance, we couldn't watch the movie. But thank God, we had a great dinner. Had roast lamb and vegetables accompanied by a nice sparkling wine called Riccadona.

Unfortunately, tomorrow is a working day and how I dread working. Oh well, I'm going to have a long break soon. I just can't wait!

Too preoccupied with something else...

So sorry for neglecting this blog. After my parents in law left Sydney for Malaysia, my sister came to visit us. She's been really good and she's been so lucky that it's Christmas time. We've got so much events and invitations lining up and it just gave us the opportunity to bring her around.

I wish I can post up some photos soon although I have done so in Facebook, so please if you are keen to view the photos, just add me by searching for my name -> Sarah Cheong. However let me know that you are a regular visitor of my blog, so I can accept you as friend! Many people whom I don't even know added me for the sake of increasing the number of friends in FB. This kind of people, I have only one word for them=> LOSER!

On another note, I have been too pre-occupied with something else that will be taking over my life and also hubby's life for the rest of our lives starting from now. Please visit my new sister blog to find out what is it! Please do not worry, I will never neglect this blog. So, stay tune!

A blessed Christmas time!

Just wanted to wish everyone a

Happy and a Blessed Christmas time with family and friends...

Will be busy during Christmas so, will blog when I find time soon!

Time flies

Before we knew it, it's been 6 weeks since my in-laws came to visit. Today, they left for Singapore and thank God there were seats as their seats were based on a waiting list. So, off they went in first class back to Singapore and Malaysia.

Andrew was pretty quiet on the way home. I knew what he was feeling, as I understand what it's like to be away from loved ones. When we don't see them, we have to get on with life, but once we are with them, parting deems difficult. Anyway, he should be alright. That's life.

As for me, I came back to the house, thinking that it doesn't feel like my home at all. We've forgotten how nice and comfortable our latex bed was. As I looked around, we've got so much addition into the house that I barely recognize. Gosh, I'll be having a jolly good time cleaning up again.

But the comforting news is that my sister will be coming to visit. I don't have to clean up the house as hard because I don't need to impress her, so does my mum if she's here. That's how easy I am with my mum and sis. But for everyone else, I am bound to receive judgment based on how my house look and if they were my aunts, it's death penalty if the house doesn't pass their satisfaction.

Although we have more freedom now, suddenly we feel lonely as if there isn't any purpose for us being here in Sydney. Hope we don't fall into depression again, although Big Elf is more prone to it than I am.
