This City Never Sleeps
Friday, December 03, 2004 @ Same Bridget, Silly new diary.
And after months of bombarding from the media, Taufik won the Spore Idol title. Well, though i detest Spore Idol, cos i am not the sort who watched Spore or any other Idol (i am 2 old 4 tat), i would still hope that Taufik will be Spore Idol, rather than Sly. Sly looks like an Taiwanese pop idol wannabe or a ordinary chao ah beng. Personally, i would rather wish to see Olinda being Spore's 1st Idol. Those idiotic judges such as the 30 yr old Spore Pop icon who wish to be the next Simon Colwell, but ended up being the greatest S.C imposter Dick Lee and Blah blah blah....

And somehow, my 6 sense does not really work. (should i say that that my 6 sense is not true?) This can be proven by watching Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason in Empress today. And i can now tell you that i've been to every single auditorium of Empress theatre. Watched BJ2 at Empress hall 2 and i can tell ya, don't be surprised that you can find a beroken seat easily. In fact, there are quite a few seats that have been left broken. This means that if you gonna seat on it, you will fall from the seat for sure, as the seats were either slide towards the left, or rite, or back, or front. And know one thing? One of the seats had been removed in the middle of the role. Unsurprisingly, only 4 audiences were there for the 12.30pm B slapstick comedy. Theatre is rather small, but they do have a few Beijing opera mask hanging up on the theatres as a decoration. Geez. I don't see them in Hall 1 or 3, but why 2? Hall 1 has been reserved for Alexander and i reserve Alexander for Lido, so BJ2 take over.

Being the 1st person to enter hall 2, only birds were there chirping throughout the whole show. No music, only one trailer and let's begin! Similar starting to BJ Diary, go for the usual family gatheriing, and BJ meets Mark Darcy, her dream guy. And she fascinates herself that she is getting married with him. Cost of fanciful imagination of her relationnship with Mark? Several disruptions in Mark's meetings, including telling him and the important guest 'how it feels for a nice shag.' The nightmare: Sit Up Britain (the TV station BJ works for. She resigns her job in a publishing company just to prove her boss cum her ex, Daniel Cleaver that she can leave without him.) employs Daniel as a TV host for a travel programme. And ya know what's expected, if you had watched BJ Diary. If that's not the worst, BJ feels that Mark is not good enough for her, and several misunderstanding that Mark is in love with his colleague. So she asked for a break-up, and flies to Thailand with Daniel for shooting a TV programme. But after the big ho-ha's, she left Thailand and ended up arrested for drug trafficking she did not do. So will she be saved by Mark, the barrister, or Dainel, the man who dragged her to Thailand?

Directed by Beeban Kidron (who directed trans and homo's fav, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar, a comedy about 3 drags.), it filled the film with slapstick laughter, rather than the authentic BJ Diary. Might be somekind of funny, but somekind of lost touch from the best selling prequel.

Sigh...doubt there will be a 3rd, though Renee is my fav actress.

Somewhere around the corner in the city lies a man with some past...
