Cravings
These days I kept having some cravings for certain foods…
Is it because it’s getting colder here or what?
I’m quite a stubborn person, as when i have a craving for a kind of food, i won’t give up fetching it until i’m filled with it… 
So..last week i was suddenly craving for curry…
Unfortunately I couldn’t get the curry i wanted on that nite, so on the other day i tried to eat curry in a japanese ramen restaurant…yes, ramen restaurant. 
I guess, as they’re famous for their ramen, their curry..hmmm….not very good i must say, especially the chicken, the more i ate the weirder i felt…
Then last night i was talking on the phone with my dad who’s in hk,
he reminded me of ‘Mui Garden’’s curry…gee!! How could i forget about this restaurant when i think of curry!! How dare me..
As a result…my dinner tonite was Mui Garden’s curry beef brisket rice…yum~~~~
I gotta say: This craving is being fulfilled~ 
Previously i was reading some articles about restaurants in hk(heh heh..i was doing research, already ), three words caught my eyes: 碗仔翅!!
Now it becomes my new craving~~~
But problem arises: where can i find 碗仔翅 here in vancouver? I have no idea!

P.S. These pictures were taken like almost a year ago…i just forgot to post them…couldn’t find this corn ice-cream in the Korean grocery stores anymore now…so sad.. 
Movie Trailers: Nov - Dec
I always love to watch the movie trailers, not only I can filter some bad movies or not interested movies out of my movie list, I can foresee how many movies that I’m going to watch in the coming month..so..no matter how ‘late’ i am to any gatherings, usually, i try to be on time if i’m going for a movie, coz’ in that way i can also enjoy the movie trailers..
Anyways. On the day I watched Saw 2, Here’re the movie trailers i’ve watched:
Hostel – A movie produced by Quentin Tarantino, directed by Eli Roth(his debut movie was Cabin Fever). I’m not really sure how good/bad this movie is, but what i can say is, its trailer is really interesting. Well, I’m a Quentin Tarantino fans, what can i say? I gotta watch it..
Here’s the synopsis of the movie:
HOSTEL tells the story of two adventurous American college buddies Paxton and Josh who backpack through Europe eager to make quintessentially hazy travel memories with new friend Oli, an Icelander they’ve met along the way.
Paxton and Josh are eventually lured by a fellow traveler to what’s described as a nirvana for American backpackers – a particular hostel in an out-of-the-way Slovakian town stocked with Eastern European women as desperate as they are gorgeous. The two friends arrive and soon easily pair off with exotic beauties Natalya and Svetlana. In fact, too easily?
Initially distracted by the good time they’re having, the two Americans quickly find themselves trapped in an increasingly sinister situation that they will discover is as wide and as deep as the darkest, sickest recess of human nature itself – if they survive.—© Lion’s Gate Films
Check out the trailer in its official website..

Jarhead – This is a soldier-typed movie…i’m not really fond of it, until i saw it’s directed Sam Mendes, the director of one of my favorite movies ‘American Beauty’...I guess, I can think about it~
Synopsis:
Jarhead (the self-imposed moniker of the Marines) follows “Swoff” (Gyllenhaal), a third-generation enlistee, from a sobering stint in boot camp to active duty, sporting a sniper’s rifle and a hundred-pound ruck on his back through Middle East deserts with no cover from intolerable heat or from Iraqi soldiers, always potentially just over the next horizon. Swoff and his fellow Marines sustain themselves with sardonic humanity and wicked comedy on blazing desert fields in a country they don’t understand against an enemy they can’t see for a cause they don’t fully fathom.
Foxx portrays Sergeant Sykes, a Marine lifer who heads up Swofford’s scout/sniper platoon, while Sarsgaard is Swoff’s friend and mentor, Troy, a die-hard member of STA-their elite Marine Unit.
An irreverent and true account of a war that was antiseptically packaged a decade ago, Jarhead is laced with dark wit, honest inquisition and episodes that are at once surreal and poignant, tragic and absurd.

I think there’s one more movie trailer I’ve watched in the theatre but i couldn’t recall, well i bet that’s the movie i’m not really interested in..so let’s forget it…
Below are some of the movie trailers I’ve checked out this week..
Transamerica – Can’t imagine A real woman(Felicity Huffman, aka Desperate Housewives) starrs as a transsexual woman..and she DOES look like a transsexual woman in the movie! Should be quite interesting..
Synopsis:
Bree is a perfectly adjusted conservative transsexual woman. Born Stanley, a genetic male, she’s about to take the final step to becoming the woman Stanley always wanted to be – until she finds out she is the parent of a long-lost 17 year-old son. Afraid to tell the rebellious teenager the truth, Bree embarks on a journey with him that will challenge and change both their lives and bring them closer to the truth of their connection. TRANSAMERICA is a funny, touching, completely modern look at the modern American family, starring Emmy award winner Felicity Huffman and Kevin Zegers.
TRANSAMERICA has won numerous festival prizes, including awards for best film at the Berlin Film Festival, San Francisco’s Frameline festival and the Woodstock Film Festival, and the award for Best Screenplay at France’s 2005 Deauville Festival of American Film.—© Official Site
Go to apple.com or use your itune to search for its trailer, as it is not in the official webiste yet…weird eh.

Paradise Now – This is a movie that i was planning to watch in the film festival (VIFF), yet i couldn’t watch it because of the time clashes..well it’s showing in NYC/LA now, so i guess there’s dvd released sooner or later, which means, i won’t miss it anyways..nice..
Synopsis:
Hany Abu-Assad (Ford Transit, Rana’s Wedding) walked away with the Best Director prize at the Berlin Film Festival for this timely and shocking film chronicling 27 hours in the lives of two Palestinians young men, friends since childhood who are recruited in Nablus to carry out a suicide bombing in Tel Aviv. After spending what will presumably be there last night alive with their families the need for absolute secrecy means they cannot say their goodbyes properly they head to the border, bombs strapped to themselves. But the operation doesn’t go as planned. The two are separated and each must decide for himself whether to go ahead with things or not…
“Every day in the newspapers we hear of these attacks. It’s such an extreme act that I began to think how could someone do that? What could drive them to it? I realized that we never hear the whole story. How could they justify this? Not only to their families but also to themselves… I studied the interrogation transcripts of suicide bombers who had failed. I read Israeli official reports, and spoke to people who personally knew bombers who died, the friends, families, and mothers. What became clear was that none of the stories were the same…” Hany Abu-Assad
“Out of Palestine’s struggle a vital cinema has grown, a cinema that highlights the plight of a people determined to indeterminacy. Paradise Now is perhaps the most gripping example yet.” The Lumiere Reader

Guess it’s pretty much enough for this entry..so…last but not least:
Memoirs of a Geisha – This movie is based on a well-known novel, Memoirs of a Geisha, written by Arthur Golden. I read the novel before and i was looking forward to the movie…until i found out the ‘Geisha’ is starred by Ziyi Zhang…I just couldn’t understand why Hollywood’s so fame about her, can she act? Duh. Especially, after watching the movie trailer, I strongly feel that i’ll have a great trouble if this movie isn’t subtitled…i couldn’t listen..or must i say, i couldn’t bear to listen almost any of Ziyi Zhang’s english. What’s more, i feel uncomfortable to watch a ‘Japanese’ movie where everyone in there’s speaking in English… it’s really weird! Anyhow, i think i’ll watch this movie, see how much i could stand…and hopefully i can still see how Gong Li beats Ziyi Zhang fiercely..haha~
Synopsis:
This is the beautiful story of a peasant girl who rises to the top of the geisha class, based on the well-researched and beloved best-selling novel MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA by Arthur Golden.
