26.07.2008 wHy sO sEriOus?

Weather: Cloudy

Today going to watch our favorite comic character - BATMAN!!! - The Dark Knight



Before that, we went to Vivo City to attend Bridal Show, it was so crowded! Afternoon rush down to Orchard Cineleisure. Due to caught up in the middle of the bridal show - we late to cinema about 5 min : ( dear dear was so mad because he insists to leave at 4pm, but I did not listen to him and continue talk until 4.15pm :( Our show is 4.30pm ...... Lucky manage to rush down to Orchard at 4.35pm and once we entered the cinema, show has started. Good that only the beginning where Joker was robbed the bank scene. Dear dear still mad : ( Sorry dear : ( But dear dear alright after we sat down.........phew!

Batman @ The Dark Knight Synosis:


Batman raises the stakes in his war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining criminal organizations that plague the city streets. The partnership proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a reign of chaos unleashed by a rising criminal mastermind known to the terrified citizens of Gotham as The Joker.

With just one year passed after taking out Ra's Al Ghul's plan to have Gotham eliminated and the mysterious disappearance of Dr. Jonathan Crane AKA the Scarecrow, after the city was nearly plundered with his toxins, Bruce Wayne and his vigilante alter-ego the Batman, continue the seemingly-endless effort to bring order to Gotham, with the help of Lt. James Gordon and newly appointed District Attorney Harvey Dent, but a new threat has now emerged into the streets. The Dark Knight faces a rising psychopathic criminal called The Joker, who's eerie grin, laughter, and inhuman morality makes him more dangerous than what he has yet to unleash. It becomes an agenda to the Batman to stop the mysterious Joker at all cost, knowing that the both of them are in the opposite line. One with no method at all and seeks to see the world plunge into the fire he has yet to lit. One who represents the symbol of hope and uses his own shadow to bring the peace and order he has yet to accomplish on doing.

Set within a year after the events of Batman Begins, Batman, Lieutenant James Gordon, and new district attorney Harvey Dent successfully begin to round up the criminals that plague Gotham City until a mysterious and sadistic criminal mastermind known only as the Joker appears in Gotham, creating a new wave of chaos. Batman's struggle against the Joker becomes deeply personal, forcing him to "confront everything he believes" and improve his technology to stop him. A love triangle develops between Bruce Wayne, Dent and Rachel Dawes.

Oh my god! Christian Bale was SO handsome!!!!!!!!!! He looked so gentleman and obligated! And for Heath Ledger, his Joker role was fabulous! He manage to act the evil and vicious character, and carry out the perverse trend evil from the Joker disposition. He has succeed! Really admired his performance! Well done! Rest in peace, Ledger....
The rest of the cast not bad as well~~~ :->

The show took about 2.5 hours to finish (still not enough! :p). By 7pm we out from Cineleisure and head for our dinner. Where to go during this dinner peak hour? We want to avoid the crowd, therefore we went to TCC which is next to Centre Point Shopping Mall. Lucky, not much people there. ^-^

22.08.2008 Xu Beihong (徐悲鴻)

Weather: Rainy + Moody Day

Stomach giving me problem again : ( Went diarrhea straight every of my meal :( sigh .....

Dear dear asked me to accompany him to attend one exhibition with him - ART Exhibition! The artist name Xu Beihong(徐悲鴻) - anyone know/heard about him? I myself - Ding Dong -> No idea :p

This art exhibition was organized by Singapore Art Museum and Xu Beihong Beijing Art Museum. His artworks created in 1930s and early 1940s.

Introduction of Xu Beihong(徐悲鴻):


He's recognized as the founder of China's art education in the tradition and the dather of Chinese modern painting. He had an immense influence on the development of Chinese painting in the 20th century. As 1 of the 1st Chinese painters to study in West, Xu became a master of both the art of traditional ink painting and western oil painting. He spent several years in SEA and India between 1939-1941. Besides painting, he also participated in many social activities. He developed close relationships with personalities like R.Tagore, M.Gandhi, Sir Thomas Shenton and Lim Bo Seng - and painted compelling portraits of these individuals.

The exhibition will explore Xu's journey in SEA and India and the interactions that went on between artist and the local communities how each left an indelible mark on the other and how these helped propelled Xu Beihong's artistic achievement to greater heights.


由新加坡美术馆及中国徐悲鸿纪念馆联办, 《徐悲鸿在南洋》将呈现徐悲鸿在1930至1940年代旅居东南亚及印度期间所创作的作品。徐悲鸿被称为写实主义艺术教育的开拓者、中国现代美术之父,对 二十世纪早期的中国美术有着深远影响。作为最早留学西方的中国画家之一,徐悲鸿游刃于中国传统水墨与西方油画之间。

1939至1941年,徐悲鸿在东南亚及印度生活了好几年。作画之余,他也积极参与社区活动,同不少著名人物成为莫 逆之交,为泰戈尔、甘地、汤姆斯•珊顿爵士、林谋盛等创作了难得的肖像作品。展览将探究徐悲鸿的东南亚与印度之旅,及艺术家与当地社群之间的关系。他们在 彼此的生命里留下了什么样的印迹,而这一切又如何协助徐悲鸿将其艺术的发展推向高峰。
