Scary Movie 4, Natalie Dessay

today i went out with the class!

had lunch at cafe cartel. lousy and slow service. the staff aren't alert enough. i wonder why. and they didn't look very busy. hmm.

then we caught Scary Movie 4! hahaha it was very funny, just that there were too many crude sexual jokes for my liking. i miss the michael jackson scene from Scary Movie 3. oh Ju On really looked the part. i realised that when i was telling tracy and joanne that the scene's from ju on, i pronounced the name as JU OON. oh noo haha. oops.

then we went walking around in HMV. oh i'm very happy, i bought Amelie DVD and Beetlejuice DVD!! FINALLY got beetlejuice. my favourit-est childhood movie! then i went to thomson plaza and bought my Devil Beside You VCD!! WOOHOO!! hui lin is a happy happy girl :).

oh anyway, my 2nd bro intro-ed me to this french opera singer called Natalie Dessay. apparantly she's a french national icon. her voice is stuck in my head. LOVED IT. let me share 3 videos of her with you:


in this one, she's a doll. very cute. and very nice voice. and she was PREGNANT. omg. and her voice was just so beautiful. good acting. simply lovely :). 'Les oiseaux dans la charmille' from Offenbach's Tales of Hoffmann. she will start singing after a minute.

Natalie Dessay performs "Der Hölle Rache (Queen of the Night)" from Mozart's "Die Zauberflöte." Paris 2001. you will probably know this one.

the same song as the first video. except it's a different production and the interpretation by the director seems different. she's just as lovely as ever. oh the best part is the song is the very very last part. hear her hit that amazingly HIGH note.
