Romeo And Juliet

Browsed thru this non-fiction bk I borrowed from NLB: Do Polar Bears Get Lonely?Ppl hav our doubts about this amazing planet and its living things... maybe even non-living ones haha. There's too much to Sci that are unexplained in schs. Some qns like "Do hairs and nails still grow after death?", "Do insects get fat?", "Do fishes get thirsty?" (surprisingly those in fresh waters dun, whereas those in marine waters do) and other interesting ones... some I think rather bo liao too ba haha.
I was rather intrigued by this though "What is the greatest height from which one could parachute, and why does such a limit exist?" From the bk, the highest-altitude parachute jump was made by Joseph Kittinger of the US Air Force, who jumped from a balloon at 31,333m on 16aug 1960. He was in free fall for 4mins and 36secs, reaching an estimated speed of 1150km/h. *OMG~ This is scary!* Someone even mentioned the furthest distance one could free fall to Earth using a protective suit is ard 320,000km... and starting from rest, falling from this height would take you 2400yrs to reach Earth's surface LOL.

Read finished“凉夏恋人,未满”by幕后黑手in few hrs. The few lines of intro on the cover attracted me... about love stories tat happen in sch hostels. Sadly, the story itself wasn't attractive at all. A bit bland to me leh... and the ending hor... macham no ending lol. Nt nice.

Was watching SJ on Star King Magic Special... ah I love all the magic shows on that show la! SJ members were simply funny on this show la! Poor Han Kyung...被虎东吓倒somemore! A pretty gal "professed" her love for Kyu Hyun too... made me jealous lol. This 1st magic... he's a gd looking magician sia... and his magic... ppl dun blink ur eyes even!



Nex, Dong Hae oso joined in the magic show~ he can do magic too... change the colour of his bow tie!!!


My jaws literally dropped when I saw Sung Min with this beautiful lady magician's performance... Sung Min's expressions were so professional la... and there's some "M18" cuts here LOL!


Watched the "Romeo And Juliet" movie... which came out in 1968... one of the classics.

I decided to watch the movie cos I saw somewhr in a forum discussion someone said that the male lead here, Leonard Whiting looks a lot like Zac Efron. Ah... he does really! *Are they long-lost dad and son!?* Whiting's born in 1950... old enough to be Efron's dad la haha. He looks like Daniel Radcliffe too... mouth and angular face from some angles. Whiting's from UK though... and I prefer the UK accent haha... even though it's harder to comprehend imo.

Olivia Hussey was only 17yrs old back then when she acted as Juliet, while Whiting was 18. *In the story, Romeo's 16 while Juliet's 14 if I'm nt wrong.*
The Montagues and the Capulets, two wealthy families of Verona, have carried on a bitter feud for years. Romeo and Juliet met one night at the Capulets party. It was love at 1st sight haha. Anyway, the way Eng Lit is... very poetic movie ah~ they sung, they recited poems and they danced. Their eng were so chim that "thy couldn't understand if subtitles din exist" lol. It's funny how "sacred" a kiss was back then... cos Romeo was madly in love with Juliet at 1st sight that he couldn't resist himself... wanted to kiss her twice... so he said sth like: "Let me be sinful one more time." *Then nowadays ppl "commit crimes" everywhr lol.*


Hmm... "passionate love" is very strong in the movie... cos it's hilarious when Romeo and Juliet meets... I mean they can kiss from night till morning... and after being separated for like a day only... they met up... and Romeo... I dunno y... he macham very "lusty" LOL~ can't wait to kiss Juliet... oh and the other way round applies too lol.

Sometimes, the "exaggerated" acting (to us modern ppl) makes me laugh. Their lines are one thing... I mean too poetic for me. The part whr Juliet was looking at the lifeless Romeo on the flr, she took the empty bottle from him and said sth like: "Oh jerk! Drunk all and left no drop for me?" I laughed haha... I mean how would Romeo noe Juliet nt really dead yet ah!? Oso, Juliet's whining very dramatic oso lol. The change of emotion in the show is super fast... like Romeo can be smiling and then angrily grabbing the sword and chasing his enemy another sec. Juliet ah... she's frowning then smiling the nex moment lor lol. Nevertheless, it's still thumbs up for the young leads... dramatic yet rather convincing acting. *I am judging from the "artistic viewpt of watching a literature film" when I said tat k~*
最难得的是,戏里的热恋和缠绵并不让人觉得色情,而是让观众看到了美好、纯洁至上的爱情。
