Twilight Saga Eclipse Trailer

It has been a while since I read the last chapter of Breaking Dawn. Oooppppssss.....I think I have not finished the last chapter of Breaking Dawn if I am not mistaken. Anyway, even the last chapter is not finished, the end is anticipated. Thus, there is no more suspend to me to read on. I think that is the reason I kept the last chapter unread.

Anyway, my passion towards Twilight Saga has been a bit down ever since the last screening of New Moon. In addition to that, during that time, I am reading and about to finish Breaking Dawn. Thus, the passion has lost its way somewhere.

Until today, when I click to Stephenie Meyer's website and Twilight Saga Official website and I watch the trailers, the passion find its way back to me! Somehow, I have to admit that I am kind of forgotten what Eclipse is about. :(

Then, I am kind of wonder. Is Eclipse storyline is not attractive enough for me to remember or I just leave the memory behind for a while? I really do not know but when I get the glimpse of the trailers, the memories of Eclipse comes back to me. Then, I have a sudden gesture to re-read the novel!

Somehow, I asks myself a simple question, "Do you have the time?". "Yes, do I have the time?". I echoed the question again in my mind. I am really not sure if I have the time as I need to make some cards - been addicted to my new hobby recently. Yesterday I plan to make a thank you plus hello card to my best friend but I ended up doing nothing.

Am I just wasting time or just do not have time? The question is not answerable by me. Let see what happens tonight.....

Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn - Chapters

It is already past 1.30AM but I still cannot keep my eyes shut to rest. My mind just too active. Since I cannot sleep, I decided to read the Chapter 2 of Breaking Dawn.

As mentioned earlier, I knew from the synopsis that Breaking Dawn is touching about sex between Bella and Edward. Thus, I been patiently reading chapters by chapters which talks about the wedding preparation till finally Chapter 5 - Isle Esme. By that time, my eyes really sleepy and going to shut down but since I know that this chapter will talks about their honeymoon, I keeps myself to read it.

After finished the chapter, I am quite disappointing as Stephanie Meyer did not write about the process of making love like other romantic novel I used to read. She just talks the after mate moments and how Edward being angry to himself. I could not believe and keeps reading the next chapter, Chapter 6 - Distraction even my eyes and mind really exhausted now. Still, I been disappointing as Stephanie did not write the process of it but rather the after mate moments. I been wondering if Breaking Dawn is to be film, will they special include the missing part? I really wonder hard. 

Twilight Saga : New Moon Movie Conquered

Finally, I watched the Twilight Saga : New Moon movie.

I am a bit upset actually as some of the scenes shown in the trailers seem been missing from the movie. I am sure my eyes are glued to the screen unless those scenes has been taken out and only make for promotional gimmick. Another issue get me upset is that all the kissing scenes has been removed due to Malaysia's so called rating. What a waste. I am not satisfying on the movie. Perhaps it is due to the removal scenes or perhaps I been expecting too much.

Anyhow, I will confirm the above again when this movie is able to download from Internet. I never get sick to watch the movie again and again. It is good to have it as collection as well.

The movie is very similar to the novel but only some of the parts/chapters has been removed or altered. I think that is because the movie has limited time to be air, thus some of the parts/chapters had to be ignored/altered.

Previously, I been hearing and reading the interview on the wolf pack actors whereby they said they have to be trained to have muscled body. Indeed they have the muscles but the actors are not so stand out. Only a few scenes of them and I do not get enough of them. Just like they pass through the movie. I think and hope to see them more in Eclipse movie since the story is about alliance between the vampires and werewolves. Else, I would feel like their efforts are wasted.

Eclipse Novel Concluded; Starting Breaking Dawn Novel

It is past 12AM when I finished the last chapter of Eclipse.

I keep reflecting back to New Moon as the movie is on promotion and been getting news updates about New Moon as well. It sometimes did bother me as well confused myself between New Moon and Eclipse.

As I knew from the synopsis that Breaking Dawn is touching about sex between Bella and Edward, I started Breaking Dawn right after the last chapter of Eclipse novel. But I am too sleepy to read on. Although sleepiness is taking over me, I still managed to sew up to first chapters of Breaking Dawn.

Twilight Saga : New Moon Movie Ticket

Finally, I manage to get myself a ticket to Twilight Saga : New Moon movie tomorrow,01 December 2009 for 6.30PM slot!

Since most of my friends has watched the movie during the Malaysia premiere on 26 November 2009, I have to watch alone but I am not really care if there is someone accompanying me or not. I just want to watch the movie!

I guess this is the first time I get to watch movie alone after so many years. I cannot wait to watch Twilight Saga : New Moon! I have a lot in my mind as they says that some of the plot has been change to accommodate into movie.

Twilight Sage New Moon Premiere in US

Aaarrggghhhh! It is so frusturating!

Today is Twilight Saga New Moon premiere in US but not in Malaysia! I been hoping to see the movie being launch on the same day in Malaysia but it looks like my prediction is true. As per Golden Screeen Cinema (GSC) website, Malayisa is slower by one (1) week whereby they going to premiere the movie on 27 November 2009 and still subject to change! One (1) week after the US premiere!

I wonder what is my suspension when the movie is finally release in Malaysia since everyone in other part of the world is talking and reviewing New Moon and yet me in Malaysia just manage to read the review. Some fans even managed to watch the movie for the second or many more times but me.....not even booking the ticket in the cinema!

New Moon Novel Concluded; Starting Eclipse Novel

It is past 1AM when I finished the last chapter of New Moon novel titled "Epilogue : Treaty". I do not really like this chapter as I felt Bella very selfish whereby he wants both Edward and Jacob. It is very well-known issue that both of them (Edward as vampire and Jacob as werewolf) can never be together but yet Bella would like to have them both at the same time. I really felt that she is so selfish and keeps pushing Jacob to the extreme by using his promise.

I been there myself once; in Bella situation and the urge of selfishness of having two things at once when it never possible. In the end, we have to lose one to gain another else you will lose both. But in Bella situation, Edward will never leave her again making Bella indirectly no need to make any choice or decision. Due to that, she keeps pushing Jacob back to the used-to-have relationship. I have my pity and sympathy on Jacob as he have to bear the vulverable feeling towards Bella. I would feel that Jacob feels Bella is so near yet so far for him to hold or catch. Pity him.....

If you ask me to review this novel, it is more touching and feeling than the first book, Twilight especially in chapter three, "The End". Chapters in New Moon illustrates how Bella suffering after Edward leave her alone in Forks and how Bella is connected and almost felt in love with Jacob. It is very detailed that sometime I felt that I am inside or just beside the characters. As usual, I would smile if I found something sweet with the conversations between the characters.

As I am too spoilted by the trailer and sneak peek of New Moon movie, my mind keeps bring back and compare the chapters I am reading with the soon to be in cinema, New Moon movie. Sometimes I asks myself when or which chapter it is for that scene in New Moon movie. Then, I started to realize that like Twilight, New Moon will have some differences between the movie and the novel. Well, that is actually expected as the director cannot put every chapters and the whole novel of 563 pages into a two hours and fifteen minutes movie! If Chris Weitz going to do that, I am not sure how long New Moon movie runtime would be.

Anyhow, the last paragraph of New Moon novel do not conclude much and I felt like hanging. Luckily I know that there is the next novel, Eclipse to continue the story. Else, I am not sure how I want to satisfy by urge.

This time I really want to finish Eclipse novel before anything related to Eclipse movie release so that I do not have any images, scenes and doubts in my mind when reading it. Synopsis would not harm much, thought. :P

Eclipse, here I come to defeat you!

November 2009 Finally Arrive!

Gosh! Finally November is here!

Why I am so excited about it? It is because of three (3) things below :
1) Ken's birthday on 18 November
2) Ezel's third birthday on 26 November
3) Twilight Saga : New Moon premiere on 20 November (not sure about Malaysia actual screening date yet)

In dedication to Twilight Saga : New Moon premiere and addication to it, I  decided to make my own desktop calendar using New Moon poster. I usually make my own desktop calendar theme using Snoopy character because I like Snoopy. Secondly, I am unable to find much the design I really wanted. Thus, I created and design my own.

However, this month, November, I decided to change a bit. Instead of using Snoopy, I uses New Moon poster! Here is the outcome and feel free to download if you want. Sharing is caring.....

Twilight Saga New Moon : Chapter 3 - The End

Yesterday night or this morning (yeah.....it is past 12 midnight), I finished New Moon novel chapter three titled "The End". After I finished the chapter, I felt myself in Bella's situation - not able to think properly and not sure what is going on surround her. I feel like crying thinking that Edward is leaving her just like that!

I felt the pain she suffered when Edward inform her that he is leaving her like he never existed. That kind of painfulness like your heart being needled by thousand of needles and you feel nothing about your arms and legs. Again, I think Stephanie Meyer did a very good job in describing the situation and the feeling. Or it is because I am been in the position before which makes me have the same feeling? Or it is because I watched the trailer before which enable me to virtualize more? I am really not sure about that. All I know that I am really feeling the pain that Bella felt and almost cried out.

Then, I flip thru the next chapter like usual to read the first paragraph before closing the book and go to bed. Somehow, I only managed to flip thru four (4) pages of months written on each of the pages meaning four (4) months has passed since Edward leaving Bella behind. That is very insteresting way to potray the timeline and I never come across in other novels. This is very new and creative! Good job, Stephanie!

But I did not manage to read chapter four. I am too tried and I need sometime to digest the chapter three. The feeling will not gone just like flipping the four (4) pages away. It is still in my head.

Nevertheless, I will continue chapter four tonight.

Twilight Novel Concluded; Starting New Moon Novel

Yesterday night, or rather this morning as it is already past 12 midnight when I finished the last chapter of Twilight novel. I am so excited that I finally finished the novel after a week of chasing the chapters.

Well, if you ask me to review this novel, it is actually more detailed compare to the movie. Most of the questions that plays in my mind before when watching the movie are mostly answered in the novel. However, as I read, I realized that there are a numbers of differences between the novel and the movie but the actual storyline or plot is still there. It is just that how the storyline and plot is delivered in the movie of 2 hours which you cannot tell every single thing in the movie. The differences/changes, add-ins and omissions can be found at this link.

During the reading, I would smile to myself due to the conversations between Edward and Bella. It is like I am there with them. I will feel the sweetness of Edward's smiles or actions to Bella. Stephanie Meyer did a very good job in bring both of the characters alive like what I feel during reading. Thanks God that she keeps insisting the productions of the novel. Else, I would not be able to admire her work on these two (2) special characters. Maybe another reason make me feel so alive with the character is that I keep visualizing the movie version while reading as well as listening to the soundtrack.

There is a colleague of mine shared with me that I should read the novel first before I watch the movie so that I can understand better when watching the movie. Maybe he is right as I mentioned earlier, I realized that there are some differences between the movie and the novel and I have a number of questions in my mind after watching the movie which only found in the novel.

I think I will try that with the second novel of The Twilight Saga, New Moon. Hopefully I am able to finish the novel before the movie premiere. However, I already know more the less what New Moon is about as I watch the New Moon movie trailer as well as read the novel synopsis. Nevertheless, I will start to read the New Moon novel tonight.

New Moon novel, here I come!

Twilight Saga Novels Acquired!

As Ken knows my dissapointment, he accompanies me to Borders at The Curve when we went to Tesco to buy some groceries as usual to try my luck. The information staff did not call me if there is any copy found in other branches.

I asked the cashier again for the paperback collection knowing that it would be a dissapointment but still hope for it eagerly that it is available. He checked with the store again to confirm before returning to us to give us the dissapointment reply. I asked if Borders will replenish the paperback collection. He replied there are possibility as this novel is very popular. He knows the popularity of the novel - not bad and I am impressed with his answer.

He suggests the hardcover in his hand which cost RM358. I tell him that I will consider about it. Then, I discussed with Ken which he suggested me to take the loose copy. He joked that he would make the box for me. *sweet* Then, he calculated to me on the comparison on the hardcopy collection versus the loose copy understading me that I have intention to purchase the hardcopy collection. Finally, I gave up the hardcopy collection and go for the loose copy weighting between my budget and my urge to read the novels especially on the next happenning.

Of course the loose copy are cheaper compare to the box collection - RM166.80 (loose copy - four titles) versus RM188 (paperback box collection). Furthermore, I get 15% discount from Jusco/Aeon memebership card promotion. In the end, I saved RM25.04 from RM166.80 or total of RM46.24 if I was to purchase the paperback box collection at RM188. Not a bad deal after all! :P

The most important is that I finally acquired the Twilight Saga novels!

Dissapointment : Twilight Saga Paperback Box Collection SOLD OUT!

I taken half day leave as Ken and my father-in-law came down to sign some papers for the lorry purchase. I take half day leave so that I can follow them back to Slim River for tomorrow Mid-Autumn festival celebration.

Ken knows that I will be bored doing nothing back in hometown and he promised to buy Twilight Saga collection for me which I been nagging. So, he drops me at The Curve before headed back to hometown to purchase the collection.

I make a quick run to the Borders once I get out from the car while Ken and my father-in-law waited in the car beside the road. I straight to the First floor cashier counter to ask for the collection but there are all hardcover collections left! Somehow, he is kind enough to check for me if there is any stock at the store.

However, to my dissapointment, she told me that all the paperback collection has been sold out. I asked if there is any stock in other branches. She said there are possibility and suggested me to leave my number while she tried to check. I did as suggested as there is a only hope I got.

In dissapointment, I walks back to the car and ride back to hometown. :(

New Discovery : Twilight Saga Collections

We went to Tropicana Mall today since we been talking about it for the past few months or since its opening. Ken is looking for something as well. Since there is Borders in the mall, I suggested to drop by to it rather than going to The Curve. Ken agreed.

To my surprise, the Borders in Tropicana Mall is quite small compare to The Curve - just one floor - normal sized shop lot space. Nevertheless, I still looks around for the table/area dedicated to the Twilight Saga display but none. So, I asks the information staff and she pointed me to the front racks.

Well, it is just two rows dedicated to Twilight Saga mainly due the outlet limited spaces. The box collection is obviously not there. So, I turned to cashier counter as I know they might keep it there but there is none. I decided to ask the cashier but there are people paying money, so I waited.

Then, I found out that the cashier is asking the customer for Jusco/Aeon membership card which he informs there is discount. I looks at the display board beside me and I found there is a notice on Jusco/Aeon membership card promotion. It is up to 15% discount for English books purchases! I quickily acknowledges Ken and he informs we will go to The Curve next week to purchase.

Luckily I did not buy the collection last week. Like I said before, even 15% discount is not that significant but in my situation now, 15% discount is very much a saving to me compare to 10% discount earlier!

I cannot wait to take you home, Twilight Saga! Wait for me!

Twilight Saga Collections at Borders The Curve

Ken and I decided to hang around in the shopping mall since Ezel is not around with us and it is second day of Hari Raya Puasa tomorrow - still time for rest and relax. Sometimes we do feel we want to have some couple moments like old days. So, this it is.

I voiced out to Ken earlier on my discovery in Popular bookstore last Tuesday on the Twilight Saga collection. He said he would buy for me next month but I said I save up on my own to buy but he insisting on sponsoring my saving and I let him. I am really lucky to have him support me in being a fan of Twilight Saga which not many guys will do the same either mentally or physically.

When park at Tesco as usual as we will buy some groceries later on. After parking our car, we went for a drink before heading to Borders to check the price as I went to both Popular and MPH. The Twilight Saga box collection is at RM188 nett. So, I decided to try my luck at Borders since we have time.

It is the first time I steps into Borders. We went in at the Ground floor and there are a table/area dedicated to the Twilight Saga display - same as Popular bookstore. The four books are there excepts the box collection. So, I decided to ask the information counter staff. Upon reaching the counter, I saw the box collection and asked the staff to show me. She did but it hardcover instead of paperback which cost about RM358. The staff perhaps sensed my surprise on the pricing and told me that there is a paperback collection at the First floor.

So, we went to the First floor as directed and go to the information counter again. The staff showed me the same hardcover collection but I asked for the paperback. She directed me to ask the cashier counter instead. Finally, there is the paperback collection which worth RM188 nett. The information staff was nice enough to share that if I am a HSBC credit card holder, I am eligible to get 10% discount! I am so happy to hear that but unfortunately, I did not bring my HSBC credit card!

Ken comforts me that we will come back next week to purchase instead. I agreed and I gave back the collection to the staff. Even 10% discount is not that significant but in my situation now, 10% discount is very much a saving to me. Later I learned from the display board that the 10% discount is eligible if purchases was above RM100 which I am totally eligible as the collection worth RM188.

Wait for me Twilight Saga, I will get your home soon!

I am REALLY Obsess with Twilight!!!

I went to the Popular bookstore in 1 Utama during lunch today as the week before, I realized that the CD Rama put up a big poster of Twilight when I went in to window shopping. Because of that poster, that is the reason that I chosen Twilight to watch on last Sunday. 

Well, the actual reason I went to Popular bookstore today is because I wanted to look for the Twilight Saga series novel since they put a big poster at the display glass. However, when I approach the store, I saw the Twilight poster is meant for the DVD and soundtrack release. Somehow, I still walk into the store and have a look on the soundtrack but failed to locate any. 

Then, I continue to my initial thought and moved to the novel section and keep my eyes open in case there is a promotion going on. Indeed, there is. I am so happy and excited. I rushed to the area dedicated to the Twilight Saga display. The four books are there and I took each of them to have look and of course eyeing on the price. It is a bit pricey but I think it is worth the money. Then, I realized that there is a Twilight Saga Collection which contains the four novels in a box! The price is definately pricey for me to afford right now which is RM188.

Back in office, I try to survey the price thru online store and try to check on the collection - comments and photos. It is really nice and definately on my top list of the items "I Must Have It". Just when I will have it is the question. *Sigh*

Later at night, I read the draft copy of Midnight Moon which I downloaded from StephenieMeyer.com last Sunday. Since it is telling from Edward's viewpoint, I cannot help myself but to watch Twilight again to see if that is true! I am really cannot control myself even I tried to. It is like Edward trying to control himself not to kill Bella or any other humans.

I think when The Twilight Saga : New Moon is released and I watch it, perhaps it could relief some of my thirst or the other way round - thirst for more?

Twilight

Oh my God! I am really obsesses with Twilight. I am watching the movie again despite that I already watched the movie 1.5 times yesterday.

The movie is really something new. I like it very much. I am not sure if I am attracted to Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) charm despite that Robert Pattinson played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix which I did not realize until I look-up for it. Both of the characters that he played really totally different and he did a great work in Twilight. Perhaps I am also attracted to Bella Swan (Kristen Steward) foolishness. Same as Robert Pattinson, Kristen Steward did a great work in playing Bella Swan character compare to Lisa in Zathura: A Space Adventure.

Well, I am also kind of fond to the story of the forbidden of love that stand in between them - the love between a human and a vampire. There is no movie potrait this kind of love eventhough in Underworld both the characters, Selene (Kate Beckinsale) and Michael Corvin (Scott Speedman) also have the same similiarity but with Twilight, it is different.

Nevertheless, I really like this movie. I cannot wait for the next series espisode, The Twilight Saga : New Moon to release on 20 November 2009!

I am considering buying the whole Twilight Saga series books written by Stephenie Meyer! I am this obsess, man!
