I would like to quote David Fincher, Director of The Social Network, from his Q&A I got from the press kit.

This is the thing that I feel is my handicap – hurting people’s feelings. Looks like I need to learn to protect that thing that matters most. Cannot please everyone.

One more quote from Aaron Sorkin, Screenplay of the movie. When asked if the movie is ultimately saying that having the idea – the vision – trumps everything? He said…

How true!! So people, get down to executing your ideas! Ideas will forever be just ideas if nothing is done about it. Don’t hesitate. You never know perhaps, your idea is that million dollar idea!

The Social Network opens in cinema on 28 October 2009. Go watch it and tell me what you think.

Now where’s my billion dollar idea! I want to own an office that’s WOW like that!

Asides…
Holy shit! I just found out that the “Winkles-wolfs” guys were played by the same actor! No wonder I was scratching my head why something they look alike but something they don’t!

I believe when he departed, he had us in his mind and remembered the good times we shared. I believe he hasn’t suffered from dementia.

Relieved that my Ah Ma is still actively involved around the house. Maybe I should teach her how to Facebook, so she can view the photos from our family activities! Maybe I should ask her children to buy an iPad for her birthday! (Godma you’re reading this right? *hint*) Got to keep Ah Ma’s mind active and encourage her to take up new hobby! Please go read about dementia and help the elderly in your family.

I miss Gonggong.

Seriously i can’t recall when was the last time I caught a live circus act! When we were young(er) I remember sitting inside a round tent watching acrobats and animals doing their stunt in the middle of the tent. That was my last impression of a circus. When the opportunity to watch one at Resort World Sentosa came knocking my door on my birthday, I couldn’t wait!

A resident show at RWS, Voyage de la Vie, a theatrical circus spectacular, is a show not to miss! Instead of sharing more about the show, I’m going to tell you about some of the people behind it. They are the stars of the show and should be given great applause for their professionalism and awesomeness!

My favorite from the show is the amazing Alexey Goloborodko from Russia. He’s the Game Master in the show and whenever he is around, my body muscles will have this weird feeling. Its amazing what he can do with his body! Alexey is a dancing contortionist and has been training since age of 5. He was one of the finalists in a TV contest in Russia – “Minute of Glory”.

He is much more amazing than he was from the video above! I will go back to watch the show because of him! Jaws dropping performance! And did I say he looks pretty cute too? Below a picture of him backstage…

Next my second favorite from the show is Liina Aunola. She plays Life from Scene 9 – The Circle of Life and Death. She makes my heart stopped a couple of times when she does her rope swing act from above the theater.

Another one of my favorite, which my eyes darted up and down his body in his final act, was The Lantern Keeper, played by Viktor Kee from Ukraine/USA. He’s a juggler with many awards at world’s major circus festivals. IMO, he’s a juggler with super hot bods! He appears in almost all the scene but only in the last scene when my eyes opened wide.

Tell me how not to pay attention to his amazing juggling act when he does it so beautifully in a skin tight nude costumes? *chuckles*

Hey! Someone is missing in the list! Oh yes! The promoted lead in the show Jonathan Leong, one of the finalists from Singapore Idol few years back. Well, I believe all those who had watched the show may agree with me that the show would still be awesome with or without him. Like before (and always), I could not figure out a single word he sang. The only words I caught throughout the performance was when he sang “…. Voyage de la Vie…”! So now you know why I didn’t give this awesome show a 10/10 ya? Well, the show still needs someone to play the main character in order to make a story out of it don’t they? The awesomeness of the entire circus performance makes up for the lack of understandable lyrics.

Voyage de la Vie is here to stay at Resort World Sentosa (i hope) and I would love to see new acts and more awesomeness in the show the next time I go catch it again!

Finally a group shot with some of the performers and the folks whom I had to pleasure to watch the show with.

If you’ve watched Voyage de la Vie and loves it as much as I do, Like them on Facebook and perhaps write a review too?

Ticketing details available on SISTIC
Priced at S$188, S$128, S$108, S$88, S$68 and S$48
Official Website: Voyage de la Vie

Was seated at Cat 3 seats (S$108) and the view was great! Would recommend getting the seats from Row P onwards in order to see everything in action. TIPS: Too near to stage will give you stiff neck from turning around too much.

Updates: I’ve received emails and calls from readers and friends asking which seats they should get for the show. So I marked out some seats where I will purchase for the next time I watch the show. However, decision is yours, this recommendation is for you consideration only.

I am getting way old. And I hate it when I miss something that I’d planned to watched or attend. Usually what I do is to bookmark the site and remind self to go catch it. But 99.9% of the time I will still forget! So I hope by blogging here, and when friends and relatives see it and if they remember it, perhaps I will have someone kind enough to remind me to go catch the show I planned to when its out in the Cinemas. Or better still, buy me the DVDs when its available if I missed it! LOL!

Ok, so the first one to my new list here is The Blind Side.

“The Blind Side” depicts the remarkable true story of Michael Oher, a homeless African-American youngster from a broken home, taken in by the Touhys, a well-to-do white family who help him fulfill his potential. At the same time, Oher’s presence in the Touhys’ lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own. Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. As a football player and student, Oher works hard and, with the help of his coaches and adopted family, becomes an All-American offensive left tackle.

Thanks to Daniel’s tweet, I chanced upon this movie. And with Sandra Bullock in it and with such beautiful story, the Cancerian in me is NOT going to miss it! The show opens Novemeber 20th!

I have no time to catch her current show The Proposal and I’m already hating myself. But The Blind Side, I WILL NOT miss! Someone, anyone! Please help remind me when it opens here in Singapore will you? Thank you very much!
