À la folie... pas du tout *He Loves Me He Loves Me Not*(French Movie 2002)

"angelique, a young art student who works as a watriess in a Bordeaux cafe, is in love with a married cardiologist, Loic. She sends flowers, gifts and love letters to his office. She tells her best friend Heloise and her friend David, who is in love with Angelique, that Loic is going to take her to Florence after leaving his wife, Rachel, who is a lawuer. but after finding out that Rachel is pregnant, Angelique becomes insanely jealous and goes to great lenghts to get Loic to leave his wife.

Then the movie is turned back to the beginning, and the view changes: We are now following the view of doctor instead of Angelique's. And things look quite different now..."

I got this dvd from my friend and i was impressed how quality acting skills Audrey Tatou displayed in this movie.
The two different verison of story in two different angle of view are awesome and i am quite stunned to find out the alternative view of it after seeing the first part.

Indeed,one wrong interception result too much fantasy love.
That is what it happen to her in this movie.
Little wonder, multiple events, that happen outside to your eye view, can be your burden.
In example mystery 9/11 crash affect a lot of people in the world.
Likewise regardless on how insignficiant events are, you will be affected and started having such fantasy.

Rating: 8/10

After watching this movie, i can conclude that in myself i only do such stuffs like sacificing many things only if the love thing is confirmed between me and a girl.
How can Angelique not confirmed with Loic face to face before she can do anything for him!


Memento(Hollywood 2000)
I simply hate the dvd menu as if it is testing me as mental patient myself.

"A man, suffering from short-term memory loss, uses notes and tattoos to hunt down his wife's killer"

The director wanted this film to be ran backward.
A man, who can not remember what happened to him or what he was doing during few minutes ago, always write down the most important events.

Rating:7/10

I see myself as the one who remember most things but i do forget.
I realise when i forget.
The day when i forget to return $0.70 to Eugene after i borrow it from him the day before.
One day when i aged,i may forget many things but will only remember the most important things.

Last Saturday, after the lesson, i took 985 that take longest route unlike 67.
This 985 used to be 185. This bus number i used to take to my primary school when i was kid.
This particular small land plot has renovated until it is so nice with more plants today. That is where i treated it as small playground to play with friends.

Two week sago, when i heard radio interview on Cecelia Chung about her love and Nicholas while Nicholas Tse nodded in agreement quietly.
I roughly got the idea what it is about.

Thanks to Nicholas fan who did her best to translate it.

"Nicholas and Cecilia appeared on the radio programme ¡¶°Í°Í±Õ±ß¸ö¹»ÎÒ²éóƳš· for an interview and revealed their reconciliation. Cecelia even cried twice.

Cecilia Chung mentioned that their feelings cannot be suppressed. They met again when filming <<ÎÞ¼«>>. Because they understood each other a lot in the past, and felt they were most suitable so slowly and unknowingly they got back together

Cecilia says that Nicholas strength is that ¡°he is very real, he doesn't have any motives, he doesn't wear a mask. I am the same that's why I am comfortable with him.¡±

Cecilia didn't hide when asked about what Nicholas did to make her touched. She says" no matter when, in the past when we are dating or even when we were separated and now that we are back together, he is the first to protect me. Sometimes he does it in the open, sometimes at the back scene, been a woman, when a man does this, I will feel touched.¡±

Cecilia mentioned that they don't have any special programmes. They like to stay at home together, to watch CD and play computer games. When saying this she cried, implying that it was not easy for the 2 of them to be together.

When asked who was the first to ask for reconciliation, Cecelia mentioned no one is first, ¡°because we both felt the same way, so its natural to be together.¡±

Because they were together in the beginning then they broke off, so many do not think this relationship will last. Knowing this, Cecilia says the pressure is great but at the same time ¡°we went through so much so I hope Nicholas and me will last to the end.¡±

Cecilia clarifies that is not true that her agent is against the reconciliation so she her career has been frozen. She explained, there is no such thing. Her agent rarely cares about her love life and even if they want to care, they also cannot care. At the end of the show, Nicholas¡¯ agent also gave well wishes to this relationship.

The host asked Cecilia what are their nicknames for each other. She calls him '"°¢×Ð" which means boy, he calls her "°¢Å®" which means girl.

When asked if she wants to get married, she says she does but she doesn't insist on it. She says "When two people are suited they will naturally be together, as to when the marriage will happen, I will wait for Nicholas proposal; it will be a special one. Also people are curious whether I want to have a baby before marriage. I feel that when 2 are deeply in love, having a baby is also a good thing."

Cecilia also agreed that she will sacrifice her career for love.

Nicholas has tattoos; however Cecilia will not tattoo her pledge of love for Nicholas on her body. She says" Nicholas is chauvinistic; he doesn't like me to have tattoos or dressed skimpily. I like to be under my man's control. I will listen to him. Nicholas is smart, I am stupid, He has taught me a lot.¡±

During the interview Cecilia mentioned that she and Nicolas are really in love, crying that it not because Nicholas movie is now showing that they are revealing their relationship to create ¡®news¡¯ for the movie.

Cecilia express that Nicholas didn¡¯t give her any promises and there is no need to either. People see us and think that we are arrogant. We are the ones that dump others, we don¡¯t get dump but it is just the opposite. In career we can be strong. The other time after the car accident, I insisted on working but when my relationships turns bad it is different, Nicholas and I are weak, we are worried of getting hurt.
Fortune tellers have mention that their lives clashes with each other, that Cecilia is a jinx to Nicholas, as can be seen by his lawsuits etc. Cecelia doesn¡¯t believe this but she is touched when Nicholas knowing all this still insisted on being with her. She believes that as long as they persevere and not leave each other, then nothing is impossible for them.

When ask whether Nicholas gives her diamonds, Cecilia laugh and said ¡°he is poor, he cannot afford it. And he knows me, he knows that I am not materialistic but he always gives me surprises and has given me a lot of special gifts.¡±

As for Cecilia selling off her beloved dog, she has admitted in the past it that is was because of the safety of her sister and baby but this time during the interview she admits another reason is because of Nicholas¡¯ asthma and is allergic to dogs and to the rumors regarding Nicholas going to the hospital when she was injured, climbing the water pipes to visit her, Cecilia admits he did visit her but not through the water pipes because the hospital didn¡¯t have any pipes
Cecilia also mentioned that they have met each other parent and that her mother likes Nicholas. She also explained this is the last time she will publicly mention about her love matters."

After the radio interview...the next day...






they arrived in the airport and made themselves happily to let reporters to take picture of them.
Woah,that is unusual..I think that they are back together again.
On Stratis Times newspaper i read, one statement make me more surprised.
It is said that Cecelia Chung visit a doctor for a checkup whether she can have baby.
I wonder it is for real.
This Cecilia love likes and dislikes of him.That is how love should be about.

I did a check on Cecilia profile and i was surprised that it said that she went Australia to live with her aunt when she was young.
I tell you..few years ago back in national day, she came in singapore and i was there to listen few HK singers there. when the malay male emcee tried to talk with her, she didn't get what he meant and in the end the chinese female emcee talked with her. How come she couldn't understand english from him.
Too odd man! Not much impression about her since i saw her.

Last year, i couldn't forget how he look like when i first saw him in airport.
he was really ordinary man like me and many other young men in streets.
It is just media making him as if he is special person.





He is one of asian singers i am impressed with.
Work hard to sing the songs he have the feelings for it.

Eason is another one.
When he heard someone who want to hear him to sing a song but he was too ill.
He cancelled all appointmentd and flew to Malaysia(if i am not wrong).
He visited and sang songs with him.
He was touched.
Eason is very versatile singer in asia.
How many singers can do like Eason did?I think not that many of them!
Kudos to Eason Chan!
