This score does not disappoint. If you're a fan of the film, then the score is a wonderful way of taking the movie with you, so to speak. From the opening scenes ("How I Would Die") to the breathtaking conclusion ("Edward at her Bed"), this score covers the various moods, emotions, suspense and romance of the film. To truly get the full musical experience of the film, you really would want to get this and the original soundtrack because these two go hand-in-hand.
Amidst all the darkness is a slightly dissonant piano motif representing the love of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. This piano motif can be heard numerous times throughout the score, though the most obvious (and beautiful) usage is in the track entitled Bella’s Lullaby, which would appear to be the gem of this entire album. In the film and novel, the lullaby is supposedly written and played for Bella by her vampire lover. Its dark, tormented sound, is certainly quite gorgeous and moving, and is the highlight of the score as presented here.
But I seem to detect a hint of loneliness in there. Could me be just me?

I had such a weird dream last night. As nice as it might be, it was very very weird. Must be all the western tv shows getting to my head I guess.
The thing I like about western tv shows that it shows me how open we can be. Truth is, in Singapore, you'd find only one in a thousand that is as open as Eurasians are. And I'm pretty lucky to know a few.
4 days to new year, and my diary is as blank as ever.
Hey there everyone in the sunny island of Singapore: Merry Christmas! I'm stuck with my parents. We're heading up to Kota Bahru tomorrow-7 hours of driving. Blogging from Old Taste, Taipan, Subang Jaya.
This movie is Jim Carrey's first full-blown, comedy-movie that he has done in 3 years. And he has not lost his magic. The movie is enjoyable enough for what it is and nothing more: a comedy. There are flat performances in the film, false situations and bad lines, but the laughs are there and the message about personal transformation is timeless. Nice film: go in huge groups and fill the theater. Or with really good friends (I did).
I'm afraid, after thinking and re-watching the movie twilight, I take back everything I've said about the movie; for those who forgot, I said that it was pretty bad.
I know that I'm not the 'target audience' (teenage girls) , and I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but I realized I liked it. The special effects are still laughable, but the story is emotionally gripping and true. The soundtrack is really nice and compliments the movie very well. The screenwriter does a decent job adapting the first book in Meyer's series, and despite a tendency toward cheesy effects, the director keeps things moving swiftly. I have to say, it's disappointing when a big-screen romance can't match up to the one in your imagination, created by the book. But at least the story surrounding this movie remains generally unshaken.
Watch it if you can. And bring a loved one along, if you have one.
The latest episode of Chuck, “Chuck versus Santa Claus”, included a really amazing song at the end that perfectly captured the poignancy of the ending of the episode- something that caught my eye ear.
After I watched it, I could little info about the song. Thankfully, now there is information all over the place. The song is “Christmas and Me Are Through” by Your Vegas. Lovely. Unfortunately, it’s not on their debut album. After an hour of searching, I finally found it on thesixtyone.com (click to listen to it!) , where you can either listen to it streaming on the site or you can download it. It seems that the band themselves are OK with the MP3 being available for free, since it isn’t available on iTunes or on an actual album. I think that’s really cool.
Digging a little deeper I found that Your Vegas is a alternative/rock band. Interestingly, alternative/rock music makes up almost half of my current library. So obtained the band's debut album: A Town and Two Cities. The music is amazing. Its like a wonderful composition of ambience and sound. They're similar with coldplay, but unlike coldplay, the lead singer is always the main focus of the music.
Somehow, the music seems to describe this year's christmas accurately.
Lyrics:
Laugh a little louder
Sing a little prouder
See you in the Rose and Crown
We’ll raise a glass to this old town
Home is where the heart is
The end is where the start is
Have a happy holiday
Remember, boy, to smile when you frown
Out by the old church
I can hear them sing
Long live the king
Oh, Santa Claus, Santa Claus
There’s no Christmas here anymore
Put the bells away
Burn the sleigh
Throw the presents out of my door
‘Cos she’s gone, gone
Everything they said was true
Christmas and me are through
Why’d you go and leave me
I guess you didn’t need me
Funny when you did it hey
All alone on Christmas Day
Wonder where the time goes
Dressing in the same clothes
Funny how the turkey tastes
With lunches from the microwave cold
Down by the old school
I can hear them sing
Love killed the king
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
There’s no Christmas here anymore
Put the bells away
Burn the sleigh
Throw the presents out of my door
‘Cos she’s gone, gone
Everything they said was true
Christmas and me are through
Christmas and me are through
Christmas and me are through
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
There’s no Christmas here anymore
Put the bells away
Burn the sleigh
Throw the presents out of my door
‘Cos she’s gone, gone
Everything they said was true
Christmas and meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee are through
I've been listening to it on repeat of times now. Play count is at 15.
My granddad has cancer. It not really surprising, considering most of his brothers or sister(my uncles and aunty) who are dead, died from cancer. It seems that cancer have a certain soft spot for my family.
I love him so much. I really do. He's been there forever, and the fact that it might just end has shaken me. It's making me look at everything so differently. It's making me scared.
was at cliff's house for most of today and yesterday.
yesterday: left 4 dead is an interesting and challenging run-away-from-zombie game and a great multiplayer co-op for gatherings. spent most of it shouting/screaming for help. didn't help that *ahem*'s 505 watts 5.1 speaker Z-5500 surround sound was turned all the way on -.-
