Awesome movie! =p
Summary of the show...

What Women Want

Dir: Chen Daming. China. 2011. 116mins

A Mandarin-language remake of the 2000 Mel Gibson blockbuster, What Women Want (Wo Zhi Nu Ren Xin) rarely rises above a genial likability, lacking sufficient comic or romantic brio. This Chinese production features palpable chemistry between stars Andy Lau and Gong Li, but director Chen Daming’s film, like the original, is a great commercial hook in search of an equally clever story.

Gong Li is elegant and sexy in equal measure.

Opening in the US and China on February 3 to coincide with the Chinese New Year, What Women Want will have only modest results domestically in the US, but could prove a hit in its home country, where the two leads are much bigger names.

As in the first film, this new What Women Wantconcerns a cocky, seductive advertising executive named Sun (Lau), who learns that his promotion has been blocked by the hiring of Li (Li), an aggressive new female boss who can provide a much-needed woman’s perspective at the male-centric company. But one night after a freak electrocution at home, he discovers he now has the ability to hear women’s thoughts, which makes him valuable to his firm but puts him in competition with Li.

Keeping the fundamental plot points from director Nancy Meyers’ romantic comedy, Chen Daming’s movie trumpets its relaxed, playful tone, although it does introduce a more magical quality to the question of exactly how Sun acquires his unique power. But beyond the most obvious implementations of his newfound gift – such as having Sun read the minds of those from whom he wants something – the remake fails to exploit this juicy premise for meaningfully comedic or thematic material.

This, coupled with the movie’s broad humour, creates a nagging sense that this amiable offering could have been much more if only it had tried to break free of the original film’s overall design.

Even if this new What Women Want can’t rise above its disappointing sense of déjà vu, at least it’s endowed with two game stars. Lau downplays his character’s chauvinistic tendencies, which keeps Sun from really feeling like a lovable scoundrel, but his slowly developing attraction to Li has its charms. Playing Sun’s cold-as-ice boss who eventually warms to him, Gong Li is elegant and sexy in equal measure. Neither character benefits from much shading or development, so What Women Want’s leads have to do most of the heavy lifting on their own.



Yes, This is Andy Lau. putting on lipstick lolx ^^ Nice movie.

We went and eat DimSum for breakfast ^^ it is RM1.50 1 plate.
The Thailand style is the waitress will put ALL the plates on your table.
So if you dun touch it, they wont charge you.
Plus, this place is famous for Honey Siew Yok.
Tak ngam my taste... too hard and too sweet.
The thing about Thailand food is that if it is suppose to be sweet, then its really sweet; sour then its really sour. no in between.

Then we went of to visit the Islands...




We set off very early in the morning to the small islands around Phang Nga Island ^^
It was very misty that day and shivering cold too!


The scenery is beautiful... altho its just tree, mountains sky and the sea.


The place is so cool and calm... feels like i can fall asleep soundly on the boat.

Its 100 times better than being up the mountain. im afraid of heights! ^^



Alright, the tourist from Thailand is John... he is really really funny! his jokes are cute.
Plus, he thought is some Thailand words and it sounded really really funny in cantonese lolx.
I;ve actually written all of them down. will upload it later ...



This is the Doggy Island... can u see the dog shape there?
Right in the middle... with the ears and waving at you.
Amazing isnt it? =p


This is the 007 James Bond Island ^^
Where the island was boomed and James Bond speed off through this tunnel *kononya* to escape.

Behold, The Nail island! =p Where James Bond had his cowboy shoot.

They went for a swim around the Nail Island =)
I didnt go tho. just looked around.


The malay villages.

Can you see the small lil cages they put outside the house?
Its to catch fishes and crabs ^^


This 1st picture you see below is a picture i took when we were on the way to the Islands.


The 2nd picture below was taken on the way back after about 2-3 hours.
See the difference? Yeah, the water level went down.

The boats cant go on this side of the sea coz it'll all become sand.


fyi, if the sea is yellowish, its shallow.
If its green, its fresh water from the mountains.
If its Dark blue, dont even try dipping your legs there.
Its very very very deep!

This place have lotta bird nests.

Bird's nest soup is a delicacy[1] in Chinese cuisine. A few species of swift, the cave swifts, are renowned for building the saliva nests used to produce the unique texture of this soup.

The edible bird's nests are among the most expensive animal products consumed by humans. The nests have been used in Chinese cooking for over 400 years, most often as bird's nest soup - WIkipedia.


My own explanation ^^

Bird nests are made of Swallow's saliva.
Neway, they are said to be very healthy ^^ and EXPENSIVE!

This is the normal bird nest you see.
Taste like Jelly but very thin and fine jelly.


Rite, so this is how it looks like . Bird nest soup.

fyi, red bird nest are not coz the Swallow puke blood ^^
Its coz the the Swallows build their nests on red mountains.
When it rains, the colour of the mountain stain on the nests.


On the way back, me, my mom and my aunt discovered and named our own island haha..
Just for the fun of it.

The Elephant Island... Can u see it?
