200 Pound Beauty

PLOT

Han-na is a phone sex employee as well as lip sync vocalist for Ammy, a famous Korean pop singer. Instead of being famous for her amazing vocal talent, Hanna hides behind in her little room. Ammy humiliates her in front of Sang-jun with whom Han-na is in love with. Desperately, Han-na decides that it's time to get a head-to-toe plastic surgery makeover. When she comes back from hospital, no one recognizes her. She soon earns her own record label with Sang-jun and becomes famous. Soon, Sang-jun finds out about her plastic surgery (she tried to hide it from him and when he asked if she went under the knife, she said no). Jenny (Han-na's alter Ego) soon loses who she really was. The time came for her concert came and Jenny broke down. Not knowing who she really was, she broke down in front of millions. On that very stage, she told everyone who she really was. The fat and ugly Han-na. People cheered for her saying that it was alright. She soon realized that she was the same Han-na. Han-na released a new album under the name Han-na, not Jenny. All ended well after that.

Watched this movie last Saturday Night just before I book in for my Guard Duty. The movie's storyline was realistic, practical, yet at the same time, holds a little "Fantasy in Reality".

But, at the same time, it reflects the actual problem our present society is facing, Physical Beauty. For the past century, women have been obsessed with being slim, beautiful and fair-skinned. So much so, that in the past 30 odd-years, many girls, who wants to have the "Perfect Body" resorted to Plastic Surgery, in order to achieve what they want.

Yet, many who went after the knife, dare not let their families and friends know about it at all. Many lubricated lies, after lies, to cover up this "Dark Secret". Because, even though Plastic Surgery is fast becoming a "common" thing, there are still millions of people who are still very negative about Plastic Surgery.

And, not many women, were as brave as Han-na, to make a sincere confession in front of millions of people, that she has went for Plastic Surgery.

This is indeed one of the best Korean Movies I've watched in recent years. Not only does it surface a Society Problem, the movie send the message across in a light-hearted manner, that many won't find it aggressive. Comedy.

Jolin's Concert [Aftermath]

WoooooooooOOOOOOOOOO!!!

That was the word which came out from me immediately after the whole concert ended...

Simply Fantastic! Sold out Concert [Meaning FULL HOUSE!], Back-to-back high tempo songs to start the whole concert. "Wan Mei", "Ye Man You Xi", "Mr. Q", "Wu Niang", "Zhen Yi Zhi Yan Bi Yi Zhi Yan", "Zhao Pai Dong Zhuo", "Chun Chun Yu Dong"

Followed by a number of sentimental hits like "Lemon Grass Scent", "Dao Dai", "Jia Zhuang", "Jia Mian De Gao Bai"

Earlier on, the weather wasn't very good. With rain over numerous places in Singapore, but luckily it stopped about 2 hours before the concert started and that didn't dampened the spirits of people going to her concert.

Along the way to the Indoor stadium, I could see many people, who were around the same age as me, heading towards the same location, and I heard some of them chatting about what would happen during the Concert, or would Jolin & Energy sing together. The mood was already thickening in the air.

The queues started as early as 7pm. Packed with enthusiastic people. Already, there were many people holding signs with "Jolin" on it. Or even wearing t-shirts or caps with "Jolin" on it.

Right from the start, from the very first song, everyone, every single person in that very Stadium sang together in one single voice, to every single song Jolin dished out. People were standing up from the very first song. Dancing, moving, grooving to every rhythm & every beat. It was ecstatic! It's the first time I ever seen a sold-out concert & everyone singing together to every single song.

This was one night that I would never forget. Because, Jolin has proven, all the concert-goers have proven, the songs have proven, the atmosphere has proven. That Jolin is indeed the "Queen" of Mandro-Pop. Her influence in Music, Style & Fashion has touched more people than we have realised...

And tonight, Jolin has proven to me, that she rocks!!! WOOooooOOO!!!

Jolin's Concert

Tomorrow is D-DAY!!! but D-DAY for what you might ask? Well, it's Jolin's Concert for god's sake...

Though, I prefer Elva's Concert to hers, but Jolin's the current Princess of Mandro-Pop, and it's very seldom Taiwanese Artists come to Singapore to host a Concert. Thus, it's a concert NOT TO BE MISSED!

I heard that the Singapore's concert will be very different from others.. CAN'T WAIT!!! I'll try to post some concert photos, if my friend bring her camera...

You'll never know

I love you. I really, really do. But I can't. Simply can't. Because I just can't give you the happiness, the joy, the laughter & the wonderful moments anymore...

Do you know my heart were bleeding when I said those words to you? I guessed you never did... But I can't let you wait for me endlessly, and wasting your time. That's so selfish of me. Too selfish.

If I can't give you the happiness, the joy & the laughter, why should I keep you by my side? When you can find a better guy, who's better than me in so many ways possible?

I'm still single now, not because I haven't found any target yet, but simply because I can't forget you. Those pictures, those laughters, those kisses, those tears... Who can ever erase them away? No one can... Not even me, unless I suddenly have memory loss.

You can say that I'm being pessimistic, being an extremism or simply just having no confidence in myself.

Words I can never know how I can put across, because I know my heart is bleeding now even as I'm typing this entry...

I just have too much words, too much things to say to you that I just don't know how to put it across to you. Let's just simply put it as "I love you..."
