I SAY: Tim Burton's Corpse Bride GOOD NEWS!!... 
Tim Burton is releasing a new stop-motion animated feature film named "Tim Burton's Corpse Bride". It's pretty much like The Nightmare Before Christmas. Very dark and gothic but then it wouldn't be his style if it wasn't. Can't wait for it to be released here. Basically the story is set in a 19th century European village, where Victor (voiced by Johnny Depp who's also starring in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory), a young man who is whisked away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious Corpse Bride (voiced by Helena Bonham-Carter: Big Fish), while his real bride, Victoria (voiced by Emily Watson: Punch-Drunk Love), waits bereft in the land of the living. Eventhough life in the Land of the Dead proves to be a lot more colorful than his strict Victorian upbringing, Victor learns that there is nothing in this world, or the next, that can keep him away from his one true love. This is a tale of optimism, romance and a very lively afterlife, that is told in a classic Tim Burton style. 
Corpse Bride & Victor (Click to preview the trailer) Well, the Corpse Bride is a story based on actual events that occurred in 19th century Russia, when anti-semitism was widespread in eastern Europe. Very often bands of anti-semites would waylay a Jewish wedding party on their way to the wedding. And because the bride would be the one to bear future generations, she would be ripped out of the carriage and murdered and then be buried in her wedding gown. How horrific!  @ 10:42 AM
I SAY: Here's the original folk story.. The Corpse Bride
Once upon a time there was a young man who lived in a village in Russia. He was to be married and he and his friend prepared to go to the village where his bride-to-belived, two days walk from his own village. The first night the two friends decided to set up camp by a river. The young man whowas going to be married spotted an unusual looking stick in the ground that looked like a bony finger. He and his friend started joking about this bony finger stickingout of the ground and the young man who was going to be married took the golden wedding ring from his pocket and put it on the strange-looking stick. And then he started to do the wedding dance around the stick; he danced around the stick with the golden wedding ring three times and he sang the Jewish wedding song, and recited the entire marriage sacrament as he danced around the stick, he and his friend laughing the whole time. Their fun stopped suddenly when the earth started rumbling and shaking beneath their feet. The place where the stick had been opened up and a very bedraggled looking corpse emerged, a living corpse, she had been a bride, but now was barely more thana skeleton held together by shreds of skin, still wearing an old torn white silk wedding dress. Worms and spider webs hung on the once-beaded bodice and tattered veil. The two young men were aghast. "Ah," she said, "you have done the wedding dance and pronounced the marriage vows and you have put a ring on my finger. Now we are man and wife. I demand my rights as your bride." Shuddering with terror at the corpse bride's words, the two young men fled to the village where the young bride was waiting to be married. They went straight to the rabbi. "Rabbi," asked the young man breathlessly, "I have a very important question to askyou. If by some chance you're walking in the woods and you happen to see a stick that looks like a long bony finger coming out of the ground and you happen to put a golden wedding ring on the finger and do the wedding dance and pronounce the wedding vows, is this indeed a real marriage?" Looking very puzzled, the rabbi asked, "Do you know of such a situation?" "Oh no, no, of course not, it's just a hypothetical question." Stroking his long beard thoughfully, the rabbi said, "let me think about it." And just then, a big gust of wind blew the door open, and in walked the corpse bride. "I lay claim to this man as my husband, for he has placed this wedding ringon my finger and pronounced the solemn marriage vows," she demanded, her bony finger rattling as she shook it at her intended brigegroom. "This is indeed a very serious matter. I'll have to consult with the other rabbis,"said the rabbi. Soon all the rabbis from the surrounding villages were gathered together. They went into conference, while the two young men anxiously awaited their decision. The corpse bride waited on the porch tapping her foot, declaring, "I want to celebrate my wedding night with my husband." These chilling words made every hair on the young man's body stand on end, though it was a warm summer day. While the rabbis were conferring, the real human bride arrived and wanted to know what all the fuss was about. When her fiance explained just what had happened, she started weeping, "Oh, my life is ruined, all my hopes and dreams are shattered; I'll never be married, never have a family." Just then the rabbis came out and asked: "Did you indeed put a gold ring on thefinger, and did you dance around it three times and did you indeed pronounce thewedding vows in their entirety?" The two young men who by this time were cowering in a far corner nodded their heads. Looking very serious the rabbis went back to confer again. And the young bride wept bitter tears, while the corpse bride was by now gloating at the prospect of her long awaited wedding night. After a short while the rabbis solemnly marched out, took their seats, and announced, "Since you put the wedding ring on the finger of the corpse bride and you danced around it three times reciting the wedding vows, we have determined that this constitutes a proper wedding ceremony. Even so, we have decided that the dead have no claim upon the living." Sighing and murmuring could be heard from all corners, the young bride was especially relieved. The corpse bride, however, howled, "Oh, there goes my last chance for a life; I'll never have my dreams fulfilled now, it's forever lost," and she collapsed on thefloor. It was a pathetic sight, a heap of bones in a tattered wedding gown, lying there, lifeless. Overcome with compassion for the corpse bride, the young bride knelt down and gathered up that old heap of bones, carefully arranging the shredded silk finery and holding her close, half sang, half murmured, as if cradling a crying infant, "don't worry I'll live your dreams for you, I'll live your hopes for you, I'll have your children for you, I'll have enough children for the two of us and you can rest in peace knowing that our children and our children's children will be well cared for and will not forget us." Tenderly she closed the eyes of the corpse bride, tenderly she held her in her arms and slowly and with measured steps she marched down to the river with her fragile charge, took her down by the river where she dug a shallow grave for her and laid her in it and crossed the bony arms over the bony chest, the one hand clasping the one with the ring on it, and folded the wedding gown around her. Then she whispered, "May you rest in peace, I will live your dreams for you, don't worry, we will not forget you." The corpse bride looked happy and at peace in her new grave, as if she somehow knew that she would be fulfilled through this young bride And the young bride covered up, slowly, the corpse bride, covered up the tattered wedding gown in the shallow grave, covered it all up with earth, then put wildflowers all over the grave and stones all around it. Then the young bride went back to her fiance and they were married in a very solemn wedding ceremony and they lived many happy years together. And all their children and grandchildren and great grandchildren were always told the story of the corpse bride, and so she was not forgotten, nor was the wisdom and compassion she had taught them forgotten either.

I SAY: Victory is Ours!!! Ole Ole Ole Ole!!! We won! We won!.. Nyah! Nyah! Nyah! Nyah! Nyah!.. We won! We won!.. Eventhough it's already over, I felt that I should take this event down.Aah.. Victory has never taste so sweet.. Team Singapore has finally got the cup on 16th of January.. A win that I must say that was rejoiced by most Singaporeans including me. Actually I wasn't an avid soccer fan when Singapore was playing for the Malaysia Cup in 1994 nor was I now when they were playing for the Tiger Cup. For me, in events where Singapore will try to excel, I will be there to give them my support(Hehehe.. that's if I have time..). Just like to say how proud I was when our boys admist of everything, they showed us that they can triumped. Such an inspiration!!... Saturday, January 15, 2005 @ 11:30 PM

I SAY: So... it's been a week since the new year had passed and still not feeling good.. I don't mean physically but mostly mentally and emotionally.. :( So many events have occured in 2004 and I'm so grateful with all that was bestowed upon me and thankful that our little island was spared from the recent natural disaster. Come to think again, what if it occured here?... I just can't bear to think. Just that it made me appreciate life more. But anyway, let's recall what I have done for last year.
