The Pillow Tales.

MOVING.

2009-08-23T21:30:00.000+08:00

once again. i have seek alternative once again because i am sick of blogger AGAIN. haha. this time because it just refuses to load properly on my browser(s). and secondly yes i love blogger's flexibility but i guess for now im hoping for sth that helps me format properly without myself coding.

http://oucie.wordpress.com/

yes wordpress. wanted to move there long ago but it just refuses to import this blog over. and i will definitely miss this blog. but it's fine now. and so see you there. and till the next time i get sick of wordpress again haha i might be back.

SAAAA..

2009-08-23T16:51:00.000+08:00

after 4sems of good luck working with good (at least they are nice) project group mates, finally my luck ran out. okay maybe im judging too early, but the first impression isnt too good. im the only one taking that module so had to find others to form groups.

at first i approached this other guy and formed this 3men[3 strangers] group but somehow the guy wanted to find one more member [it was a 3 or 4 men project group] and so ended up knowing this 5men group which had 1 more person. and though they are like grown men, they are so clingy. have worked with clingy girls before, though not wonderful group mates, i sort of liked them in the end. but clingy guys, yucks. grow up can.

so the 5 of them, afraid to break themselves into groups wanted to break into 2 and 3 men groups and asked us to break into 1 person and 2 person groups to join theirs to get 4men team each. so very very sway-ly, was the 1person group and had to join the 3 clingy men group [and they are so mcp].

the thing is they still think they are oh so cool. esp one that looked a hell lot like nicholas lee [woo under one roof]. u know like how in sec schools, bullies often like to hang out in groups because they feel so insecure alone, yes, the 3 clingy guys are like this. ahhhh. help me.

im hoping they will become better after we communicate. and now the 3 clingy guys want to work in a 8men team. i mean hello. if u have been in a cca u will know how it is difficult to gather a bunch of uni students, let alone 8? crazy. i dont know la. they are just so insecure. i hope they will accept my ideas and not appear so mcp.

and the suai thing is. the better guy in that clingy 5guys gang is in the other 4person group with the 2 new group mates.im with the 3 clingy guys. how how how. i am so dreading this sem. i dont know. the project constitute 50% of the grade, i am so making sure i get full marks for my final exam.

iumen.

2009-08-21T00:02:00.000+08:00

now i know why am i always so tired. because when i am in sch i will only do school stuff and everything else have to wait till i get home. this ifg thing that studios thing, everything push till i get home. which isnt too early too. and i end up starting to do at 11pm and sleeping at 2am everyday. and it doesnt help when that is a thing called youtube around.

am listening to smap. you know it's how special that no matter what song they sing, they can always make their live performance so LIVE. hahahaha. [sono mama and la la la love song]. you will never never suspect they are lip-syncing and that they are better hosting/acting/cooking/doing anything than singing. hahahahaha.

was in clementi bookstore, and i realise they have other interest other than bitching about noob undergrads. which is that they(at least one) too watch EU. because in today's mypaper there wad an article on the laughing-gor movie and what made me turn around was that one of them started by saying, 'hey LAUGHING GOR 之变節' in cantonese and after getting no respond from the rest, she starting saying 'aiyah 學警狙擊 ah.very nice leh.' hai clementi bookstore.

唄。

2009-08-19T00:24:00.002+08:00

Leo loves mayday who loves mr children. we love them all. mayday concert coming and i still do not have money. haha. but they promised to sing till 12. damn so wasted if i dont go.

when i listen to songs im those who will keep listening to a certain few over and over again till im sick then i'll move on to the nxt new bunch of even newer songs. like how my dad will keep eating this certain food intensely and once he is sick, he gets addicted to another. currently it is kiwi. and i hate kiwi. hahahaa.

have stopped listening to mr children for a while because i was too sick of them after listening to them intensely for a few months. and accidentally listening to tomorrow never knows this afternoon, i realise how addictive it still is.

and of course tabidachi no uta which started my listening to them. the live version is a song which u will crave for when u feel damn sian.

and watching circus action only make me start to listening to mayday again. i listened to them when i was like sec3 like that. and got sick of them. but leo just makes u realise that they still have good music and just that we overlook them.

約翰藍儂 [john lennon] and also 嘿　我要走了 plus the one above, 3 found good songs from them. of course with their classic 擁抱 and 純真 and 志明與春嬌.

and if u ask me what genre of music i like, it is this rock la. alternative rock. soft rock. pop rock. not the boom boom boom rocker type of rock.

Finally i feel like an engineer.

2009-08-14T01:01:00.002+08:00

attended the first fuzzy lecture. though i was an hour late, BUT i just realise how much i like fuzzy. i thought i will like fuzzy. no. actually i like fuzzy a lot a lot. haha. yay. yes. finally enduring 2 sems im-still-okay-but-i-do-not-really-like modules, finally one that sounds academic (as opposed to postwar japanese film and animation) and i still love it.

looking forward to electronic gaming lecture nxt week which i think will be another play play play and see who can get an A kind of module. a lecture on psp and ds and xbox? haha. it feels kind of weird.

engin prof is as expected, all about ethics. was quite worried about 2001 at first because there is the analog hardware component PLUS the digital hardware component PLUS coding. which is practically what we learnt from 3 whole modules. but at least we are starting to create something. and while receiving the tool box today a friend was commenting 'yes. finally i feel like an engineer.' yes i think so too.

and of course the 7hours a week chiong a JLPT4.5 in 3 months japanese1. i feel lazy. and classroom japanese is really kind of boring. i miss japanese podo ichi-maru-ichi.

hai. will be in sch tmr again. when is sat going to come? im missing weekends already.

Sem FIVE.

2009-08-10T22:24:00.001+08:00

in case you didnt know, i have a great fear for sunday nights or anything that reminds me that fun is going to be over. while i adore fridays(that is why i have that 'is it friday' ap on my desktop). and today happens to be those days that i detest. urgh. why why why.

not that i am not looking forward to school. in fact i am. because at least i feel like i have an aim in life during sem time and strangely become a little more efficient and procrastinate a little lesser.

and this has to be the sem which i have the best time table. no 8AMs. no 5-hour breaks and no 10-hour days. i still do not have a free day. but at least the lessons are spread out in this comfortable manner and provides enough free time in case i have project meetings or studios stuff.

was looking at the ivle page for laj1201. week3 hiragana quiz and week4 katakana quiz. siao. haha. thank goodness i know my hiraganas. but katakana.. hai. 習字here i come.

i dont know why but i am behaving more and more like a kancheong spider. why ah. for a good half of my life i have been living with no plan in life and does not feel stressed over anything. why. ue. damn sian.

just pasted these 4 pieces of A3 paper on my wall. of course to write down stuff on emcc and studios and school stuff that have been clotting my brain. and of course a list of things that i want to do:

learn softball
learn jazz drums
buy the long overdue ipod touch
buy dslr
finish the script
get tuition
ifg

some of which i have been talking about since the beginning of time. and also some new ones (yay like learn softball which i think is not too probable).

been watching red nose teacher. nice. it has to be the best this season. but the ratings are just so so. everyone is still watching the nhk ping ping piang piang period drama. watch if u are bored, ditch the buzzer beat la. it has a nice theme song only.

:D

2009-08-06T00:15:00.003+08:00

i guess this is what they mean by good things come together. i have 3 modules approved of my mapping. yay. 2 more to go. one to send to SoC for approval and the other, im eye-ing commercial photography. which then adds on to my already full list of uem modules. i hope they will let me do it as an arts gem. maybe.

finishing this sem i will be left with only arts gem and ss. ss somehow already settled for spore film and arts gem i guess most probably intro to film art if i cant map anything nxt sem. so year4sem1 a film sem.

and tmr finally a free day for me if im not going down for year3 talk. so yesh. a chance to just pack up my room (again) and to just tie up the loose ends. woo.

a surprise from menghui just now at choices shoot, he too took that module before. which makes him like the 4th person in studios that i know who have taken the module before. it's funny how so many of them have taken it (and even more for gek2020) and i dont even know. bo jio. but yes. finally. finally.

all along i have grumbling about sde friend has taken it, why havent i. it's really irritating to see him talk about taking modules that i want to take but have not taken yet. and hai i really hope to have him as a talent if i ever going to (finish) and film my script. but his face also a bit old. okay change. haha.

can sleep late. can wake late. can watch burning flames 3 till the morning. yay.

ohh and i ate pontian wanton mee this morning. which makes my mood even better.

好累。

2009-08-05T00:35:00.002+08:00

爲了可愛的馬鈴薯們
這篇的youtube video就放在最下面啦

好累好累好累好累
累到我嘴都開不了
我的laptop一向來都是插speakers的
但今天我好想讓音樂淹沒我
換成了plug in
把音量調得好高

因爲我真的累了

還有少于7小時就得起身
在這7小時
我需要bid
需要blog
需要睡
需要充電
需調試我的心情

EMCC的事就告一段落
明天還有shoot

好想告訴desmond我好喜歡他們的nightfall
好怪
恥ずかしい

久違了。

2009-08-04T01:38:00.005+08:00

也太久沒用華語寫部落格
真的很忙
忙到我做了很不好的事
我把上頭給我的壓力出在下面的人
上頭催我催得更緊
完全違背了我自己
壓力啊壓力
我對不起你們
我一向嘲笑庸軍
我自己卻也犯了錯

而我也遇到了對手
投訴我不回簡訊的你們
原來我不是最遭的
相信我
我害怕的是承諾
不能保證的承諾
所以很抗拒回簡訊
就包容我嘛
我也會原諒那些人的

一個我從來不告訴別人的事
就是啊
以前的我不忙
但我有個很忙的朋友
我羡慕她的忙
忙讓人覺得她有好多事做
好多朋友
好有人緣
好充實
漸漸的
我讓我自己變得忙
忙得透不過氣
就開心
因爲我覺得自己好有用
但現在的我
太忙
忙得我都不知道爲什麽那麽忙
變得我家人見我的時間也沒了
我到底在追求什麽

itunes播的是lilac saints的nightfall
很喜歡這首歌
也讓我想到CASHLESS
對嘛
我們都在盲目的追求什麽

我找到也去臺灣的朋友了
新朋友
至少我不會死在他鄉吧
臺灣我來了
還有半年
好期盼

我是個déjà vu超強的人
我不單感覺一個情境熟悉
我連下一個動作
下一句話
都能說出來
通常夢到的好不可思議的事
都能實現
但déjà vu一向來都被科學推翻
漸漸的我好像也失去了這能力

相反的
我想象的東西就一定不會實現
奇怪的是
前陣子我想象的一樣東西
竟然會實現
也是很不可思議的一件事
感覺就像我中了頭獎一樣
我想啊想啊
但心裏知道不可能發生的事
竟然給我想到放生了

天啊

我自己都嚇了一跳
這就叫漸漸能控制自己的命運嗎？
哈哈哈哈
那我得快點想我進dean's list吧

那這篇
就獻給那些默默讀我部落格
又有好好聽華文科的你們
馬鈴薯們
對不起啦

if u watch circus action, u will know this week there is this part which they censored out. the whole part is already on leo's wretch. edited well and everything. watch it here. but dont say i never warn you. there is a reason why it is censored. hahahaha.

To me.

2009-07-28T01:37:00.007+08:00

the lyrics is obiang. so what. haha. nice wah. haha.

i didnt know what i was doing the last 3 months. chasing deadlines after deadlines. finally, and it dawn on me on the ride back home that yes it has all ended. finish. owari. and okay it feels kind of lonely. haha. but finally a time for me to talk to myself.

emotion is the most impt one thing to artist and i have realised that i am almost emotionless. no i am not bored, i am not tired, i just feel nth. i dont know whether i should be proud of myself, but i have trained myself so much i am no longer holding my emotions, they are just totally non-existence.

the ride home was a happy one for me. or at least i know i still have that teeny weeny bit of emotions. i am going to miss the bunch of them. so much. that i am shocked by myself.

i love talking to people. knowing what they are feeling and why so. and tgt with all the myriads of emotions i have experienced myself, i really thought nothing will ever thrill me. desensitized see. and films are the only things that can make me feel human.

yes now i remember. that i have never felt so during graduations or anything similar. now i know how it feels. samishii na. but at the same time i am just so happy.

i have still a huge mountain of things that are waiting for me. but at least i guess for tonight, i shall devote some time for myself. and the people around me. matric fair and stupid CORS, tmr then see.

and yes keep to yourself see, always appearing offline see, always ignored see; you are smart, you are deep, your Q on your forehead face the outside world, so it's time to share some love on this see too. cue Eason's 新美人主义. i love you see.

forget everything everything. these 3 months are all but a dream. a good one, packed like an emotional roller coaster. but well, it's time to move on. Bhutan is still waiting for me and the world for me to save. haha.

不能只有L.V.。

2009-07-06T14:38:00.005+08:00

remember one episode when circus said that autumn is the season to park-tour, so i guess summer is the season for breakups. if i get a dollar from everyone around me who just broke up, maybe i can.. afford a nydc meal. haha. i dont have so many friends to start with. isnt that a little too many? it's like at least one in one circle of friends.

omg my itunes is playing stars are blind. woo~ i was still commenting the other day that if i have to charades paris hilton i will show "stars" "blind". haha. itunes is now my primary source of entertainment. my own kbox. i'm sorry the smoking guy on 11th floor for the little bit loud music. "Baby i'm perfect for you~" hahahaha.

okay back to something normal-er. mr children's gift.

we just took over fb.

2009-07-05T21:55:00.002+08:00

while the bunch of us stayed at home, fb suddenly became our medium of communication. and i dont know why my sister's suddenly into radio and im suddenly very updated in terms of chinese songs because i too am listening to the same radio.

fb is succeeding as the close-but-not-so-close medium of communication, maybe good for a bunch of people who knew each other through camps. i've always thought, though sadly, friendships forged during camps are like firework, beautiful but short-lived. hai. but that's just the nature of camps.

wanted to go out and maybe run in the evening but laotian didnt want me to. and so i ended up clearing the newspaper pile that was sitting in the corner of my room.

okay i know i have tons of serious business to do. but i am still in camp mood. after bathing. i promise!

breathing time.

2009-07-04T16:33:00.003+08:00

And I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am

there was this line from galileo movie that stayed with me. remember there was a scene and masha and tsutsumi shinichi was walking along the river side where the old homeless people lived, i think it was masha who commented something like 'it's only when you are not following the time, you can get a clockwork-like life.'

this line stuck in me for a long long time. it even made me think why in the first place did we want to have this thing called time? yes initially it was because it will make us more efficient, but i think today it has only made us more inefficient.

finally a break from the hectic life. for the past 2 months life was literally like running on a huge treadmill. very tiring but u cannot stop. it was also when i could finally appreciate what was said in 忙与盲:

忙忙忙忙忙忙忙是为了自己的理想还是为了不让别人失望盲盲盲盲盲盲盲的已经没有主张盲的已经失去方向。

yes. everyone initially set out for passion, but end up working like mad in order not to disappoint others, aimlessly.

yes. sc09 was cut short because H1N1. and it's especially shocking when people close to you are getting it. everyone else said that they were shocked that we had to stop sc halfway, but i didnt really voice out because seriously i was expecting something like this to happen.

we are practically doing everything the government are asking us not to do. rest more. do not share food drinks. wash your hands (we are not even bathing). and i thought this thing was going to come sooner or later by the way we are doing things. esp when mich heng called me. throughout the whole camp first time an ocomm-er is calling me. and it wasnt an immediate 'hello' but a long pause before she said anything and the clubroom was so noisy. confirm something happen already.

and followed by a rush to get back to school. a lot of ideas from a lot of people. a lot of people are talking and i had no time to even think about other things la. just get everyone back first and then we see how.

so seriously i have to admit i was feeling nothing when we had to end sc. all the time from day0 everything felt so surreal. because for the past one month we have been working so hard for it. meeting ocomm, meeting to do video, meeting to do identities. it was always like 'we must work hard because the prestigious sports camp is coming!!' and on day1 there was more than once i was asking myself 'so this is THE sports camp 2009? not another recee? not another pre-camp?' the feeling was super surreal.

how to say ah. i just felt that this whole thing is like to me a 2.4. from day1 we were all pushing forward for the last lap of 400m and before we could run that lap, there is a lightning in the sky and so we have to stop that run. i dont know whether it could have been better if the camp continued or that it is better we live with this regret.

but at least i know i am literally living a life like a princess. i dont need to leave my room for food, my dad is doing my laundry and have all the time i have to watch all the movies i want, and if i still have some spare time, to practise poking my eyes.

Bare essentials of safety.

2009-07-04T01:09:00.000+08:00

HAHAHA. nice.

every cheer has its origin.

2009-06-29T01:57:00.001+08:00

CASHLESS premiere.

2009-06-16T13:12:00.004+08:00

I think the 27th June 8pm one should be sold out already. So if u are interested to go down for Celebrating The Family: An Intimate Showcase of Films, there are still tickets for:

20th june 4pm | 20th june 8pm | 27th june 4pm
Venue: The Arts House Screening Room
Tickets at $8 each

or if u just want to see my face (cos i appear offline for too long already haha), can also come down. but i will only be down for the 27th one la. So just message me if you want to get the tickets.

and.. TBG09 is coming up also. im going, tell me if u are going too.

微不足道却那么重。

2009-06-15T22:47:00.002+08:00

i have to admit. other than 藍眼睛 i cannot stop listening to this song. haha. so addictive. the line that stuck to me most is actually "精疲力尽有没有哪里可以停泊"(2:22). no not the lyrics but the melody. it's so strange yet addictive. haha. was listening to the interview with cynthia koh, elvin ng and jerry yeo (yay!!) and this song was playing in the background. while they were talking u cant really hear the melody but this line stood out.

but the plot of the Ultimatum.. hai. when is the cat fight going to start? haha. u know everyday i am only looking forward to the tph subplot part and if there's none, the pale face subplot. the main plot line seems to be stalled somewhere and not moving forward. okay felicia chin, faster get raped. or else pale face is still going to only appear in the bakery and rende at home eating dinner in suit.

or that we suddenly realise ah de is not zhang feng but is actually yan fei or something. i am sick of the ahbeng-ish linanxing.

which reminds me of 縱貫綫's concert. apparently for their world tour, the song list will be slightly geared towards the country they will singing in. hah. i really hope i can finally hear a live rendition of 當愛擦身而過. yeah.

When editing gets tough..

2009-06-15T15:23:00.007+08:00

everything else seems interesting.

CIRCUS購物台！

張芸京 & 青峰

2009-06-10T12:07:00.004+08:00

my sister was commenting last night that 張芸京 sounds a lot like 青峰. i dont really like 張芸京's voice (haha. all her fans are going to hate me) but this song sounds surprisingly good with her singing instead of angela chang.

anw why i dont like 張芸京's voice. dont u think she seems to be constantly pushing her voice down no matter when she is singing or talking. doesnt she realise that though it might seem cool, she is restricting herself as to the range she can sing. and it sounds really 不酥湖.

like how all good things come in three. eunice was commenting the other day that she too was mesmerized by 青峰's voice. but she heard it on tv, so the quality is much better than on youtube. hai. okay i feel like buying their concert dvd.

from the same countdown:
張芸京－憨人
蘇打綠-小宇宙
蘇打綠-頻率

蘇打綠廣東話版小情歌
蘇打綠無與倫比的美麗

anw, my long awaited iphone os 3.0 is going to be out on 17june. had always wanted to get the ipod touch but as a smart consumer, i wanted to wait for the os 3.0 to be out before i buy so that i dont have to pay 10bucks for the upgrade. haha. which was when i realised there's not going to be macbook anymore, but now apple is only offering macbook pro. they have the new one in 13inch and as a university student u get to get a free ipod touch when you buy the macbook pro. hai. this is so tempting. okay as always. if i win toto this wk, i will go and buy the macbook pro. hahahahaa.

tgt with the new macbook pro thing, iphone 3G S was also out. but har. too bad im not singtel user. cannot use cannot use.

and the new psp go is going to be out. which looks hideous by the way. haha.

but now i am only waiting for google wave. faster come out!!

it's 兄妹 too.

2009-06-09T02:16:00.000+08:00

fb.

2009-06-08T02:03:00.002+08:00

spending more time on fb nowadays. maybe because i finally understand why everyone else were on fb.

was commenting to my sister that ya it is really when in primary school you get to meet all kinds of people, tall short fat thin. one classmate of mine was so small, his skin and lips always peeling. and now i see him on fb, skin not peeling, healthy and doing things, that feeling is just so.. good. haha.

the class bullies now look friendly, the smart ones are still as smart

and one went to manhunt.

the first episode is done. with lots of hard work from kenny and me. haha. it was fun la, esp when it comes to imitating nelson.

i want to learn how to play the drums. i want to go to 纵贯线's concert. the new jolin song sounds nice. the sodagreen mv with 小馬 is out. mr brain is kind of bad. my friend who got abducted by aliens is still in mars. and i will be out to get my xyz tmr.

What is dang dang dang dang dang dang.

2009-06-05T18:53:00.002+08:00

pre-camp.

2009-06-01T08:33:00.001+08:00

bye bye laptop. see u on wed.

Unrelated stuff.

2009-05-30T23:51:00.007+08:00

ahhhh. finally. finally i feel kind of accomplished. at least i finished something. so i just feel like rambling. ahhhhh. it's mostly crap la, so dont read if u are not free.

anw, the mv above is directed by boo (long time no see boo!! haha. not that any of us knows him. we just keep mentioning his name like we know him. haha.) it's watch at your own risk (yang, it's from electrico!! haha.) 見鬼了。 haha.

okay. so it's going to be no studios stuff from monday to wed and i am now preparing myself mentally for precamp. and i need to get a swimming costume too, the plastic loud hailers thing and whistles.

and yesh. i am back. haha. after hiding in my shell for so long, mainly mugging and for the last 2weeks doing i dont know what. i realise packrat is still blogging, skw is the covering chinese subject head, sde friend is still blogging (i want to see his head soon. hai. yesterday's episode didnt show.) and that he has him on his blogroll (new proof) and yes we are going into our third year.

i missed yesterday's episode of 'Princess and Prince' ahhhh. i really like their clothes leh, and also maybe some ideas to buy for my xiao yang zhuang (hahahaha). when i was young i will be the first to switch channels when this kind of shows come on (or if they were showing some health shows, i have phobia) but okay la, this kind of show quite entertaining. if u know me long u shd have heard me saying the 'one day can only wash hair once', ya is fann wong teach one. haha.

wanted to blog about this movie i watched during the exam period, After Life by Koreeda Hirokazu, but was too lazy to do so. haha. anw the story goes after each person die they will go to this place where they are given 3days, with the help of social workers, to choose one single memory. after that they will film that single memory and after they watch it, they will then move on.

i watched the first 60min at one go and then the rest of it at another session. loved the first 60min which was about how each person who went there, acknowledged that they were dead and then try to find their single memory they want to keep. this girl she was made to choose a memory la, and she chose her trip to disneyland (she's around 17). and then one social worker told her that there were 30 other people who came, mostly kids and young girls, who chose disneyland and then she decided to choose a more special memory. i think different people have different interpretations of this, but to me, the idea that hit me was that 'yes, a memory might be unique to you. but u will realise that there are so many other people who experienced it, and not so unique after all.' which was sth that came to me when i was fed up of seeing short films about army. and strangely this story is exactly the same as first light. hmmm.

the thunder's kind of loud..

2009-05-30T00:27:00.003+08:00

but the rain.. we still have to see.

it's the third episode into The Ultimatum, but im still not getting what's the story abt. i will watch halfway and when someone says 'dont pester songnian!' and i will go 'eh. who is songnian?' haha. so many characters. though the drama's quite pleasant on the eye, no pink colour hdb flats walls obviously propped up in studios, the ye's mansion looks kind of fake, and it looks so much like the one in the mooncake show. but ah, i will just ignore it.

there are 2 surprises for me though, one from keke as the young fann wong. i wasnt really watching ep2 and then halfway through my dad went 'hey. your 'coco' on tv!!' although her role is more similar to the one in metamorphosis as the young ruien, which is the one who gets abused la. hai. but ya keke!! haha. and she's on the museum show too, with mark lee and vivian lai.

another is the insert song 不死心還在, the power station only version. it's nice to have power station sing theme/insert songs for local dramas. it was great back then with the 出路还隐隐作痛 and 那就這樣吧. i liked this song when i first heard the 信樂團 and power station version. it has this beyond feeling to it and i was sort of standing on 信樂團's side after ah shin left them to go solo.

and like metamorphosis, ultimatum has expensive calefares. sde friend as the dead son, my favourite local bosco wong as the abusive husband who appears no more than 10sec and also Zhang Wen Xiang as some random kidnapper. but my favourite is still metamorphosis' hong guo rui who appeared less than 5sec and dead without uttering a single line. hahahaa. good.

我就是窩囊。

本剧故事纯属虚构，如有雷同，实属巧合

There was a general. The general was the son of the previous brave general and thus many have believed that the general will do well too. So after the general grew up, he took over his father and had to looked over a large army.

one day there was news that the army from the neighbouring country wanted to attack them. the general panicked as he had not gone into a war before, he got all his wise people to discuss what to do. late at night when all his wise men were ready to go to bed, the general sent an order for all to gather to discuss strategy. the wise men followed the order, once, twice and after many times, they were tired by all the sudden orders for meeting.

the general was unsure as to how to attack the neighbouring country and often listened to the old generals. he did not think through the ideas that were offered to him but took all that came as he felt that since his father had believed in them, their ideas should never go wrong. the general was often clueless as to what to do, and had no strong take towards any strategy. the general did not come out with any strategy, he just took them as he heard of them.

to prepare for the war. the general often held training sessions with the army. they were made to move things, to run away and everyone was busy. but no one know why they were so busy as often they did not see the results of their hard work. they had no aim and could not provide the better solution as to what they were doing.

but the general would get anxious quickly. whenever he got anxious, he would sent an order to his army to check the current situation. once he wanted the army to make a new batch of arrows. on the first night the general asked on the situation, the army replied that they are searching the bamboo. while searching for bamboo the next day, the general asked again. soon the asking got more and more frequent and the army spent more time answering the general then working. the productivity was low.

however as new problem came up, the general became more involved in the new problem and the making of arrow slowed down as the soldiers were all worn out from the rush at first and also to answer the general. in the end they could only finish making the arrows after the initial stated date.

however, the general, who is not a fan of GTD, got anxious easily. however the general could not find an effective way to vent his anxiousness. often he will sit in his office and ask 'why' and not doing much.

my eyes were swollen from this morning. for no reason. i slept quite early last night, but i couldnt fully open my eyes since morning. hai. im back to sleeping late again, maybe hoping it will go away this way. and also because i usually cant sleep after watching a movie.

finally dug out one of those i-have-them-but-am-too-lazy-to-watch-them kind of film and watched it la. love it. woo. shiok.

and the ad on top. i have watched it a year ago, but watching it now does give a second layer to it.

三年五年以后，甚至更久更久以后，我们会变成什么样的大人呢？

and i've been watching a lot of taiwanese stuff recently. this is for what? this is preparation. ahh.

2009-05-20T10:45:00.003+08:00

oh no. i realised my script (or specifically the theme) is very childish. haha. how. but i set out to write a coming-of-age short film. but then the more i write my treatment, the more i am goosebump-ing with the childishness. like a bad mayday song. haha. it lacks the world view. haha. ahhhh. director of exit no.6, please teach me how to write a coming-of-age film. haha. okay. i just hope tj wont laugh (snigger)at my treatment later on.

no worry. we can always entertain ourselves with Joleen's gastric flu music video.

痞子英雄主題曲

COLOR band. wow. 2 man rock band. hmm. they look more like yuzu(think folk duo) to me. but im quite disturbed by the gun sounds. live performance sounds better if everything was live right. but the CD version of this song is really good. with or without mark chao. haha. sorry hero wu.

another 3 months.

2009-05-19T00:36:00.002+08:00

was penning my break resolutions in my head. reading GTD is making me determined to just straighten my life out.

1. do the urgent things like finish my study plan (almost 5 months overdue) and my treatment.
2. and if my treatment is successfully done, then i'll have to write the script.
3. clear up my table, my room, the toilet, the living room and if i have some more time, the kitchen too.
4. start a proper processing system as suggested in GTD.

i realised i just had the least oriented 6months of my whole life. im eating at weird times, have 6-month break between chances i get to exercise, my room is in a mess, my head is in a mess and i dont know what i am doing in studios.

so i really want a week to straighten everything out, but till now i have not found that full one week and studios stuff is getting heavier, together with sports camp stuff and the internship which i want to apply to.

okay. back to what im wasting so much time on now. black and white [痞子英雄]. i know of this from eunice and trust i was as reluctant as you to watch the drama when i heard of the title. it is a drama with such high production value. i was really hooked while watching it yesterday but i didnt know how to tell others abt this drama. once i say "taiwanese drama", half of them wont bother to listen anymore, and "zai zai" will shoo the other half away. ya. watch if u want la. hah.

hai. but now i am just very bored.

2009-04-30T16:22:00.006+08:00

this is really ironic. since my last blog post was about.. but hai. metamorphosis. is good. at least episode 1 made me want to watch episode 2 and episode 2 made me.. and on. im now at episode 4 already. and there are only 20. yes. good.

at least the drama does not fulfil criteria 1, 3, 4, 7 and 10 of my previous blog post. haha. finally a drama that is funny (no they do not throw mops at each other) and the characters are not just 'he is the beng one'.

i like how they named the character. DiLun i presume they are thinking of ti lung. hu xicun(希存) as in hope still exist because he heads dragontooth. ouyang li because he is the rash one. and now i finally understands why xicun is the character with specs. glasses on he is the good forensic pathologist, glasses off leader of terrorist group dragontooth.

best drama in 2007. quoting the producer who went up to get the award '正義是存在的'. (urgh. stupid nonya.)

10 reasons why local tv is unbearable.

2009-04-29T01:31:00.005+08:00

1. they shoot in studio. the problem lies with the rigid looking hdb flats with glaring pink/orange walls and ugly plastic flowers as decorations. and the ever so well lit living room.

2. the 1000 subplots they have despite the not so clear main plot.

3. the characters are as 2D as paper. she is the bitchy one. he is the kiasu one. period.

4. they wear stuff we will never ever wear in real life. ugly flowerly top and faded jeans berms which are most likely passed down from the previous century.

5. the actors speak like they are reciting a poem. esp when they are agitated.

6. there are only 2 type of people. those who live in semi-d and those in 1-room flat.

7. it is never funny. and their idea of humor includes throwing a mop at another person.

8. the theme song is by jeff wang, daren tan or chew sin huey. 新加坡沒有人啊？

9. the most common line is '你是不會了解的'.

10. okay. just stop the collaborations.

now i know why they called the 90s as the golden age of tv during the 45th gala. it is.. rather true. anw sebastian tan sang this. yay.

mediacorp keeps all its gems after the news at night. was still mugging (i have not much time) and my sister came home last night before she switched on the tv. which was then i realised i have just missed metamorphosis and they are already showing the drug trafficking show. channel5 was showing survivor and before i knew they were showing season 2 finale episode of a show which i have only watched till season1 episode 3.

and of all things to talk about.. hallucination? haha. was reading about dreaming some time ago and how to identify that u are dreaming. and yet everytime when i dream, no matter how ridiculously ridiculous the situation is i will still believe it is real.

but that episode reminded me of kristiechen and all the afternoons with her and P4C. she showed us the matrix one session and made us proof why we exist and all is not a dream, a hallucination or a bunch of aliens controlling us. that was the week when i could not write anything into that tiny notebook because i really could not proof why we exist. and the (sort of) answer she gave was 'i think therefore i am'. hmm. is that really a good answer?

and of course i had a really weird dream this morning. hai. i am still feeling disorientated. no more midnight tv.

cannot. must put at least 1 daniel chan mv on my blog. haha.

i have to agree that once exam nears, we start to develop strange habits and to do seemingly fj(犯奸) things; when obviously we should be utilising every second of our reading week cramming everything into our little heads.

last sem it was forensic heroes and this sem e.u. okay la. i am very guilty la. haha. but how. that day was mugging in engin, and there was this guy who was watching the tuition show on his ipod touch. see. not me only.

so e.u. is like every single mafia movie i have ever watched crammed into one tvb drama. at first the drug factory part, i was like 'oh. so protege'. then came the part where everyone was fighting to be the 話事人, 'oh. so election'. and then with kathy chow 'oh. so ah sou'. and they have michael tse in their cast, 'wa. young and dangerous ah'. but of course once the undercover cop part starts 'okay. infernal affairs'.

im now only at episode 16. but hai. the whole rave about laughing, now i sort of know how it will end. actually i think if u watched closely enough, from around episode 3 or 4, you can sort of guess laughing's identity. esp when he was very eager to want to go into the drug dealing side. but michael tse's character really grows into you. at first he is just that very talkative guy. but wa, he is the one with the most depth.

and e.u. has the highest paying calefares i guess. haha.

fred cheng the calefare.

oscar leung the calefare.

this one is the best. can u spot charles szeto? haha. the 2 above at least has maybe 7 lines. he is a vase.

who is this ah. so familiar looking.

hahahahaaa. 爱拼才会赢.

sammul looks very different but i just cant put my finger to it. now i know (thanks iweekly!!), he ate too much btw season 2 and season 3. haha.

love all the interactions between ron ng and michael tse. and how they are always 話中有話-ing in the leonlai-tonyleung-"i recognise you. be careful" fashion.

on the other hand, despite the little-nonya-is-so-going-to-win-everything-boring part of star awards, there is at least something i feel is fair about this year's star award. keke won green apple!! yay yay yay. haha. okay. sat. let's see what jeanette aw's gonna say if she wins. and what she says if she doesnt. har. maybe we should have a 歐宣下年又係你~ too.

L: Back to your film and the process - Kelvin Tong wrote the script? How is it like working with him for your own short film, do you feel influenced?
K: He is more like a mentor to me. He tries not to influence my decisions so that the film will be more a Kat Goh film and not a Kelvin Tong film. But he gives me a lot of suggestions in the editing stage to make it more pacy.
L: So... no ghosts in this one?
K: LOL No.
L: No twist?
K: No it is not a thriller. It's not an arty, moody, angsty type of film.
L: No Benjamin Heng?

have u ever disliked someone so much but u cant point why u dislike this person? recently i have. and it's troubling me. because i cant think of a reason why i am disliking this person so much. it's so intangibly intangible that it amazes me. i just have this strong anger in me whenever this person does something (esp if it concerns me) but i just cant pinpoint to where my anger come from.

it must the aries in me. i've been pushing this side of me down but i am still quite intolerant to inefficiency and slow people and people who dont know what they are doing. along with others: those who talk like sai, those who try too hard, those who are too LBL... but like any other aries i will forget abt this 15min later and am glad that how wonderful this world is.

then why do i dislike this person so much?

stupid? seriously lacking in analytical skills? got not enough RAM?

hmm.

hahahahaaa. this is rather entertaining. watching this reminds me of the time when ella said alex to's dad is from Pingtung. felicia u must watch this!!

first thing. film camp is back!! go to http://nustudios.org/filmcamp/ and see see look look.

so today marks the last day of school of sem4 for me. for this sem break, i will become a NISSU, not in internship, special sem, summer programme or anything useful. anyone care to join me? cos the more i think abt this the more guilty i get.

wa. their hair.. a bit nice hor. first,toma's. why is it kimutaku hair again? this is the N time someone is perming this hair. getting boring. and masha's still very long hair. haha. and recently (these 1,2 years) masha has been looking very old. maybe he stopped the botox. hmm. but his dressing also got more ah pek.. haha. and how he moves also. hahahaaa. okay. u know.

Thank you for your smile.

2009-04-13T23:17:00.006+08:00

i knew this song was originally by Momoe Yamaguchi, but only today i know that there's such a video and that she sang it for her farewell concert. coincidence? hmm. omoishiroi.

yesterday evening i went running. haha. for a really lousy reason. i was afraid that with my current eating habits and without exercising, i will need to go for liposuction 5 years down the road. and this run marks my first run after a 6months absence from exercising. okay i do run after buses (A2! A2!) and climb the stairs in the national university of stairs, but my weight is currently at its highest ever since i step foot on this earth.

ahh. this is getting so bimbo talk. okay my point is. i reflected on myself while running yesterday. like how i am after i stop exercising. i think to a certain extend running changed a part of me.

i hated running as a kid. long dist. i sprint. yes. but definitely no 1.6k. and throughout years in disneyland i played basketball, but is those gu niang basketball. run a bit then pass. thirsty drink cold water cooler water. tired then rest.

in jc training is completely different. water during water break only. run like crazy(suicide!!) and i was turning white on the first training. so 2 years i kept running though i hated it. but slowly i could feel that my body is adjusted to long distance. no panting. and i didnt really sweat after 2.4k.

and it is during these 2 years when i was literally at my best. physically and mentally. okay part of me that pushed me to study was because of all the looks i got when i got my O levels(this is such a cruel world. 11 points and even the form teacher shakes her head at you? hai. because 9 out of 10 kids got 10pts and below). but at least i wanted to do something and not rot my days away.

and now that i am not running. i can feel my old self creeping back. and if u feel i changed these 2 days,

that's because i ran.

どうもありがとうございました。

2009-04-12T01:03:00.002+08:00

yesterday i thought of a new film idea. haha. abt how technology was supposed to bring us closer but in the end pulled us even further apart. so the story goes this person one day decided to leave for another country suddenly. but he continues to sms, to blog and to msn. so we see how long the people around him will realise that he is actually gone. hahaha. but to think again, i think this story will just bore everyone to tears.

okay la. my point is. i am very against talking on msn and wasting time on facebook. so if u dont go to school with me, am part of studios with me, it is very likely u havent spoken to me for a long long time. but ironically, the cyber world (plus phone, so it should be technology world) is where i got most of the love from friends.

but i am really thankful for all who decided to waste 10sec of their lives, going to my fb account or to pick up your phone to msg me or to just leave me a tag.

thank you so much.

i just love public holidays. because of the typing game, i have gotten a box of tissue paper box beside me again. hai. my immune system. so i guess these 3 days will be great for me to just do what i want, stop my nose from running and to chiong from next monday again.

one week from reading week. and yes. i am fearing. fearing for my grades. i guess as a child i was like jet li's movie, fearless. now to think of it, i didnt know where i had that courage, but i was kind of heck about my grades. but now. the idea of having a low CAP is so intimidating. and no. i do not want to take away. please no.

love guaranteed on channel u wkdays 10pm. but im not really watching. but while watching the finale (on tudou) this line from kenneth ma caught my attention.

ah. classic. but somehow when someone else talks about the bird without a leg, i felt it was never as good as yuddy. u know his i-just-heck-this-world attitude, this line just suits him so well.

Christopher Doyle and 齋滷味~

was talking to eunice abt perfect cut (yes! i convinced yet another person to watch it) and she was commenting on the surgery parts which she will just fast forward because it looked too gruesome. now i know why we are both in engin, not medicine. but while i was watching another series just a while ago, i was covering the screen every now and then too. perfect cut i can take it, but i cannot tahan when i see someone go into seizure, even if it is fake. ahhhhhhhh. the idea of spelling the words out give me the creeps.

I never forgive and I never forget...

2009-04-06T01:13:00.003+08:00

this feels like a Revolving Doors of Vengeance meet Drive of Life meet Gem of Life. or simply a very tvb blockbuster kind of storyline. is this supposed to be an angmoh version of The Ultimatum? haha. but i say say say still will watch. cos i think watching patrick teoh will be quite enjoyable.

i kind of want to watch this. haha. maybe not that much because i didnt really like dare mo shiranai and it is during exams. 25 April want to watch also tell me la.

and yes, it reminds me of ozu's tokyo story too.

2009-04-03T01:09:00.007+08:00

this is the sort of things i would not have seen given the technology then [i used to be a VHS addict before converting to youtube addict]. hai. i am just so glad youtube exists. but watching youtube videos is like a race against time, before the youtube people realise their existence and take them down.

found this song while filling up my itunes with album art (my new found hobby). 懐かしい~

today at the streaming talk they had this exhibition (i dont know whether they are fyp projects or just those done by the profs themselves) and at the control booth they were showing this video of 2 robots.. popping. hahahahaaaa. yeah. stop popping and let the robots do it, cos what we are doing is only making an axe at lu ban's door.

i really hate 2005. for making me suffer. for all the difficult questions, demanding labs (they made me buy two log books) and horrible homework. hai. around a month more to exam. and im still at lecture 3 for 2005. how. how. will die. it's 3am now. and im deciding to sleep or to read up on 2005 or it will be another day of copying again. which i dread.

itunes' playing YELLOW. and it just reminds me of bryan wong.

must.work.on.study.plan.stop.procrastinating.

was talking to cwx about going to outram to study after finishing 4th year. i guess it's healing hands that brainwashed me or something. that engineers wont ever be like them. going to pub after five. and to talk about men, women and the world. such an atas lifestyle la. but apparently my dad said that it should be of the opposite. engineers after a day of doing hard work will go for after five. while those healing handers cant drink in case they get called back for work in the midnight. true hor.

haha.

i just want an atas lifestyle la. hahahaaa. and at the same time i want to prop up my leg to drive, wear slippers and shorts to work and to spend 6months a year overseas. that's all. hahahaaa. okay. and also atas la.

maybe that's why the song that came to me this morning in lab was ji ba ban. my grey matter genius.

tvb hor. really leh. part two people complain no michael miu. so they bring back in part three. now people unhappy laughing gone, then they make him reappear. haiyo. but i kind of like tin gor too. any supporters?

没有Alex 的第一天。

2009-03-21T02:09:00.009+08:00

time really flies with alex tan. haha. it's like yeah it's the finale!! oh no. it's the finale.. if u have been to my fb, you will realise that i was rooting for win cheong. yes. because he really really convinced me the last episode that he will be a better guy than alex tan. i mean isnt alex tan very ya ya this season, like he thought michelle chia will confirm stay with him? and also when he starts to get jealous. oh my gosh. it's like the perfect man suddenly showing all his flaws. and win cheong had this something that alex didnt. (maybe it's his ever glowing pink in health cheeks) so yah. for a whole 24hrs i was rooting for win cheong. but hai. the last episode. okay la okay la. alex tan you win.

actually before i came home i was still thinking of something which i really want to blog about. people who you have a love-hate relationship with. you know there are some people in life that are so good you hate them? hahaha. like how they are always better than you, like flawless one leh, but you know they are just like you, a normal human being, but yet they can be so much.. better!! i mean i really hate these kind of people. but at the same time i really love them. it's like i dont know how to feel when i see them. hahahaha. but i guess they are very impt in my life, because they are mainly the ones who propel me forward. like how i am still lagging, i can do better because obviously these people are better than me.

and so maybe that's why i sort of felt for win cheong la. like 'i am always the number two' because there is this stupid alex tan in my life. but it's very difficult to not like alex tan. so when he left for US(maybe this is when he becomes chun li's dad. hahahahahahaa), i kind of felt quite sad for win?

but ya. perfect cut 2. didnt disappoint me at all. you know like how sequel tend to be bad? or somehow they seem to be inferior, or a gimmick to suck more out of the first season's fans? at least i felt perfect cut didnt la. i love season one (but i only started watching during the repeat) because they dealt with so many controversial issues and those very hush-hush kind of stuff. that it felt so shiok. it's like finally we are free, we have the freedom of speech in this society. while season two is a totally i love the story kind of drama. it's a very typical japanese kind of drama format. 13 episodes. one story in each story while the main characters grow along the way la. actually this was the reason why i was attracted to japanese drama, and it remain my favourite format of drama till today.

season two of perfect cut dealt a lot with ethics: what is right? what is wrong? alex tan plays the angel here, the doctor with a soul (did you see the magazine cover of him? it has the words 妙手仁心 on it) while win cheong the bad guy la, who chooses to operate on someone if it is challenging or it pays him well. and with each story, we see that people are not what they seem to be at first. even for those chinese ladies who go round cheating ah-pek's money.

but one thing i was quite surprised in the finale was the one on 没有Alex的第___天. oh my gosh. isnt this from my favourite abalone show? it's almost completely the same la. but i guess this is the best way to show how michelle chia felt in that 4-5 months when alex was gone. and the part win cheong was knocked down by the motorcycle? i thought it was a little forceful. and a little cliche. but the rest of the 13 episodes - perfect.

like i say la.it's very hard to find a really good singapore drama. esp after the brain drain a few years ago when quite a few hongkong directors left. yes it is getting better recently. but perfect cut is really one that is like thousand years difficult to meet one. and if u want to watch, i currently have all 26 episodes. can lend la, but must be gentle. if you break i will angry till explode. haha.

oh talking about that. all their 口頭禪s:
犯人

haha. i just love emily tan leh. she is so funny. and wa. she found clement and sean tee. haha. yay. i was really rooting for her. u know in season one, alex is always the fierce one, and then you will see sky and her feeling scared when he scolds them? haha. super funny.

now i just feel rather down. no more alex tan i guess. unless they decide to go into season three. highly unlikely.

actually watching perfect cut reminds me a really old drama, back in 1999, which i doubt many watched. it's SNAG, or 新好男人 in chinese. starring wong hei and jeff wang. it was shown at those 11pm kind of drama. i really loved it then. but cos i was still in primary 5, and kids cant sleep so late,so my parents had me record with the vhs player and then to watch the next day la. and this show's the kind, even if i have only 5 min to spare the next morning, i also must spend my 5min to watch it. i have the ost now at home, very good ost also.

but apparently when it was shown, it didnt get that much viewership, despite wong hei very famous then. maybe it was shown too late. and at the same time, it's format is very very much similar to perfect cut, people could not accept it. it dealt with mainly on love. with wong hei as a bachelor and how he hopes to get a girlfriend, or at least some love la. very modern. too hip to be accepted then i guess.

i mean now people can accept perfect cut (okay. there are some 食古不化 people out there. will talk about it later on), i think if they choose to show SNAG now, it will get at least more acceptance than then. it is also largely those one episode one story kind of format. with each episode we see the character of the episode explore what is love? what does it mean by love?

and wong hei referred himself to as this volleyball position. but i cant remember the exact words now. urgh.

and hor. talking about people who still cannot accept perfect cut. i saw this short message that someone wrote to iweekly la. complaining why perfect cut 2 is such a big hoo-har when it's a superficial drama about plastic surgery. what the hell. you never watch then talk so much. superficial drama about plastic surgery? siao ah. u want not so superficial one go watch little nonya la. crazy. and then another person's tag i saw on a rather famous mediacorp high ranking guy blog la, something like 'i am not a superficial person, so i dont let my family watch perfect cut blah blah.. this society is full of superficial people..' hai. yet another lost sheep.

i didnt really care about star awards for the past like 8-9 years other than to gossip about who got into top10 and who didnt. i mean singapore dramas? i gave up after primary5. but last year, i dont know whether age got the better of me or spore dramas are really improving, i have to admit out of the 6 nominated, i watched 4, finishing 3 out of the 4.

and of course i am rooting for the 3. but aiyah. mediacorp. everyone knows which drama is going to win la. boring. boring. woo. boring. give out pork. confirm those i like one wont win. one got too many non-自己人, one seemed like a filler, the shomingeki one is like forgotten by everyone else?

and talking about the one with too many non-自己人, did anyone watch the last last episode about fate and supersition? haha. i saw our friendly bank teller la. hahahahahahaa. asking for a larger nose, wider brows and a mole. har. now i know why she sounds so familar. her lo mai gai and xiao long bao. unforgettable.

hahahahaa. i just love billy bong and his ultra coolness. despite how high he wears his pants with his maroon polo tee, no one could beat his coolness la. i mean everyone who went through 1109 will know that he's better than that alcoholic drink or the one who resembles a certain malaysian prime minister. he who brings strange plastic/rubber tubes to class, making us bend rulers and to ask people to demonstrate breaking of chopsticks.

and yesterday, after crashing the medicine [haha. i am so deprived. hai. i think it requires people to reach a certain level for maturity to realise why everyone else longs to go into medicine. it took me 4 sems.] talk i thought i should just walk into the engin talk and to see who was giving the talk la before walking out after 3 mins. and right on stage was billy bong. and we sat there for another 20min.

and the best line from him 'of course we cannot be one-dimensional technical people.' hai he knows. he knows how the rest of the school sees us. the 1D technical people. technical? that is like worse than geek. now i know why people continue to look at us with the 'oh you engin people' look despite i swear the science people are more chui. technical!! har.

and also the abbreviation of AM for angmoh. hahahahahahaa. who uses that?

maybe it's time he should bring his fishballs to lectures. haha.

i cant be a lawyer or doctor anymore, so "i will be a chief executive officer".

i want a re-re-run of part 1. this drama is so.. sporean-ish!! all the inside jokes, sacrasim, so intelligently spore. (which we seldom see in our dramas..) maybe that's why they are not selling it out of spore. unlike you know the one which they sold to tvb..

from newpaper:

Even The Little Nyonya can't compare to top TVB dramas
MY love affair with TVB dramas began with the magnificent Man In The Net - a serial about filial piety, righteousness, love between family members, love between friends and love between man and woman.
By Maureen Koh
02 February 2009

MY love affair with TVB dramas began with the magnificent Man In The Net - a serial about filial piety, righteousness, love between family members, love between friends and love between man and woman.

There's a good chance that people reading this would have watched it or recognise the title. This despite it being a 1980 production.

And many will be able to name the lead actor and actress who became household names not only in their native Hong Kong, but also in Singapore and other parts of the world.

Yes, they are Chow Yun Fat and Carol 'Do Do' Cheng.

And that is how the magic of TVB dramas work: Weaving the skills of the scriptwriters with fine acting from an often stellar ensemble.

It's a skill that MediaCorp has apparently yet to master.

Yes, not even with The Little Nyonya, even though one in four Singaporeans followed it, making it the highest-rated drama in 15 years.

To be fair, not all TVB dramas are compelling and I'm certain there have been some flops with porous plots.

So what is it then that makes the dramas more compelling than our local fare?

Top on the success list has to be superior content - and here is where the Hong Kong team excels.

TVB dramas are usually - if not always - made for family watching. Like last year's mega-blockbuster, Moonlight Resonance.

Viewers - such as myself - will swear in indignation at the injustice suffered by the protagonist, and laugh till our sides ache at the hijinks by the unwitting joker.

Or cry in anguish at lovers torn apart by misunderstandings, jealous rivals or just plain circumstances.

Goosebumps

If you ask me, its formula did not differ much from Man In The Net. Yet, nearly 30 years down the road, it still strikes a chord.

Which is something that I can't say for The Little Nyonya, though I do like new Ah-Jie Jeanette Aw.

I found myself snorting at some of the impossible scenes. Remember the famous - or is it infamous - parting scene between Chen Xi and Yue Niang at the railway track?

Well, some of the lines raised more goosebumps than tears.

Scorpio East's chief operating officer, Mr Lim Teck, said: 'TVB is very good at reinventing their dramas - be it through the themes or even, the artistes.'

Again, the Hong Kong team shines here. Veterans and established stars are given roles which suit them and match those of the young and more popular ones.

And when veterans return to the screen after even a decade, they still look wonderful.

Think Michael Miu and his wife, Jamie Chik, Ray Lui and Yueh Hua, even Gallen Lo.

Another of TVB's strengths is its theme-dramas. The extensive genre ranges from cops to cooking. Last year's serials included a tombstone-making trade and the current one is on the salt business.

Sure-win formula

Last year's top three dramas - Moonlight Resonance, Forensic Heroes 2 and D.I.E - attest to the sure-win formula.

Such dramas are the reason that despite Scorpio East's best efforts, viewers still resort to pirated DVDs because they just can't wait to catch the next episode.

It makes me wonder whether there will come a day when MediaCorp serials can command the same fervour?

even our good friends on tudou cannot tahan this show.

Half time.

2009-03-07T12:32:00.009+08:00

finally. a weekend. for me to really do all the nitty gritty things that u have put aside for weeks. my study plan. oh man. it's like almost 1.5mth since the person email me to send the study plan. hai. i just hope i'm not too late and they are still sending me to tw. i mean circus, i want to meet u all!! haha.

'i thought electrical is pull wire and fix light bulb only? why need a bachelor?' hahahahaha.

and of course studios stuff.

everybody loves waterboys.

my summer.

2009-03-05T00:45:00.004+08:00

the bitterness of rejection. hai hai hai hai. engin rejected my application as an exchange student for summer school in hk. hai hai hai hai. why... i am already regretting not choosing hk as my sep destination, and now u are denying me from going there..

okay. now the only option is to apply straight to the hk uni, but that will cost us around US$750 more, which is like 1,158.19 SGD. hai. a single special sem mod is 650bucks and now we have to pay twice.

how. but i am still so tempted to go. it's like if i dont go now, im not going to go anymore. year 3 summer i'll most prob be in tw (and if they are not going to kick me out) and year 4 they will still allow meh.

and if i am not going. what shd i do this summer? VIP? but that is like a whole 12weeks of work. plus our supervisor is going to write a report to our mentor. i dont want. production+camp? but this will be like last year. and i felt i was wasting my summer last year.

hmm. maybe i should organise our own overseas trip this summer.

my wish for this week. to become more 醒目. i dont know why but after entering uni im totally bak qiu tia stamp. everything also cannot do well, im not as smart as how i was when i was working during that 7mths. and im really worried that if i go on intern the people there will just hate me because im not responding smartly enough. wake up and be less of trouble to others!! and i jolly well know that adults tend to hate me (i am not joking. seriously. out of 10 adults i meet in my life, 8 of them will hate me when they first see me. i dont know whether it's how i look or what. or i just am so bak qiu tai stamp that i cant do anything well. i know the k one hates me right. all because of the stupid incident. and jiaolian too. and so many others.), i need to outsmart them. and work 2 times more efficiently.

okay. back to my report.

おくりびと。

2009-03-03T01:32:00.004+08:00

the second on my to-watch list. how should i start. this isnt a film which made me fall in love with it straight away. there are some films like sanchome or spirited away which make me love them all the way from maybe 15min into the film till days and days after. films which i cannot stop thinking about even after finish watching them.

i expected okuribito to be like this. not talking about oscars, but 10 japan accademy awards? wow. maybe i should not have went in with this idea. haha. not that i am expecting a lot from this film, but went the credits roll, i thought they had more to tell me, and i want to know more. there's a certain part of me which was not satisfied yet.

it is a good film. simply put it is a very typical simple japanese style melodrama with tinge of humor. some parts are rather predictable, maybe a little less predictable than our takeshi kaneshiro god of death story.

but i couldnt totally immerse myself into the film. in yogisha x, my eyes were following Shinichi Tsutsumi's every move. i was practically staring at his strands of white hair, his scarf, because it made me want to remember all the scenes. but somehow i could not really relate to daigo (haha. nice name. hi tiga). and yes i was still staring at him esp when he was at work, but somehow i had this certain distance from his character. and not to talk about the scene at the climax.

but everyone in the cinema was like *sniff sniff* *sniff sniff*. haha. esp how the film uses a lot of scenes without background music, so the sniffs became really loud. i could feel it was sad, but not to the extend in galileo which i feel really sad (omg. my bad english. haha) for Shinichi Tsutsumi's character. this film will make your nose turn sour, but galileo will make u think 'why? why? stop doing this!!' haha.

like always, i read iweekly's review on the film right after finishing it. and it made me see the many things i overlooked during the film. what the director was trying to say. in the process on focusing all on daigo's job and worry, i sort of neglected everything else that happened. the bath house. daigo moving back to yamagata. and salmons swimming against the current to go back home. people are all chasing after the newest, the best, and forgotten about where they have started from.

and the ceremony is so solemn yet beautiful. and how many people only come to terms at one's death. there's so much said, and i only neglected them.

and the funny thing is. the more i think about the minute details of the film, the more i love it. i am only starting to like this film 4hours after viewing? haha.

hai. now i want a second viewing.

and not to forget joe hisaishi's music. still so so so good.

CIRCUS 狗仔隊

2009-02-28T18:05:00.009+08:00

omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg!!

finally!! do you know how long i've been waiting for more circus action? omg!! i dont know how to explain how much i like them. it's like i watch every single season of their shows, and not just once but quite a number of times.

esp their trip to india. i made a copy of that episode on my handphone and watch everytime i get too bored on the train. cos they are just so funny la.

and if u are thinking they are just a normal boyband (okay, obviously u have not watched the youtube above), they are not la. for the past 3 seasons of circus action, they went round tw doing really crazy stuff, all with the idea of 熱血. yeah. what u shd do when u are young.

and what i really love their show is that they are not tied down to anything. so they just do whatever they like. they shoot, they edit, they write their own VO. everything from pre-production to post-production (all the way down to typing the subtitles) are done by the 4 of them. im not too sure about now, but they were still students when they started. and so they only filmed during the summer break and normally their show starts after the summer break for around 3mths each year.

they have been talking about season 4 for so long. so this paparazzi thing came to me as a surprise. but still if you are yearning for some 熱血, watch CIRCUS 狗仔隊.

Yougisha X no Kenshin.

2009-02-27T01:24:00.006+08:00

haha. the galileo movie. yes. i went to watch it. i think for all the trash that i've been watching from fujitv-made-movies, finally one movie that made up for all the time wasted previously (looks at hero the movie). the first drama then movie film that made me want to clap when the credits came out. it is that good to me.

there were so many things going through in my head when i was watching.

this is one film that every single scene, every single dialogue is propelling the story forward. the cause and effect thing. every single cause is waiting for its effect to come. there isnt a scene or a dialogue which is there to fill time, or to show how superior their filming skill is. they are there to tell the story.130min of them. and i am absorbed the whole 130min.

and it is not a whodunit. which was the format for its drama. for the movie, you know who's the killer from the start. what we are looking at is how 2 geniuses pit against each other; one to hide the truth and the other to find it out. i think confession of pain tried to do this too; but it was not brought out so well. (sorry alan mak and andrew lau) the thing is, even though you know who is the killer, every moment you are at the edge of your seat, rooting for both the police to find out the truth, but yet u want to protect the killer.

i think what the director or writer did well was that they could gauge what to give and what to keep well. there are some detective genre kind of movies where you just can guess the killer from the start. and there are those that are so ridiculous and they refuse to tell u any clue on the way (think kindaichi or voice). but galileo kept me thinking for the 130min and the ending very satisfying. it's not like hero the movie, which for quite some parts, i kept picking out logical problems in the storyline. galileo makes u feel everything is so real.

and the talents. masha as always, suave, smart, minus the cringing physics equation scribbling and fleming left hand rule. kou shibasaki still kou shibasaki. though her character is quite insignificant. Shin'ichi Tsutsumi steals the show totally. he is like the L of this movie. i love him in sanchome, here too.

there was this certain line in the film which kind of reminds me of a certain similar line in IA. it goes something like 'is it more difficult to invent an unsolvable puzzle or to solve one?' which was masha trying to highlight the situation then. when i watch i didnt really understand what he was saying, but now to look at it, hey that line is kind of cool.

but disclaimer. i can get quite illogical when it comes to what movies that i like. i mean my 'i just love these movies' list includes tokyo raiders, and i hate you so and the twins effect; my taste isnt all that universal.

it was box office top for 4 weeks when it was out in japan. if u have watched the drama and want to see masha on the big screen, then try watching. if u want a movie with a really really strong plot, try departures.

from masha's 2009 countdown concert,
最愛 - 福山雅治

like last year when he sang kiss shite for the countdown, this time sai ai. his hair is... hahahahahahaa. is he preparing for his sakamoto ryoma role or is he doing this because he likes it?

2009-02-25T15:19:00.004+08:00

And no i did not go for yoga lin's concert. and im sort of regretting it. damn it. it's like not going for eason's concert and to realise it the next day that i should have just went.

我 - 林宥嘉

he has this strong interest in B-side songs. like leslie cheung's 我 and eason's 世界.

not that im complaining la. which reminds me of my favourite jacky cheung's concert.

天下无双-张学友

simply because he isnt singing his own songs. yay. haha.

time to spend some money.

2009-02-23T17:00:00.003+08:00

a list to remind myself what i want to watch. and if u find a film that u want to watch too, tell me. haha.

films i have to watch
~~Suspect X~~

I bet it is Ellesmere Choi. trust me. haha. i mean lailokyi or moses chan? siao ah.

第一次的過失才發現心中有把真理的尺

i got hooked onto both the show and the song. hai. haha. and i feel like i just betrayed myself. like how i felt when i liked madam ma from fh2, now a channel8 which i cannot stop watching. how.

and ruien fascinates me by how skinny she can get. she was criticised in the AIDS show that she was too skinny right. wa. then she's even worse here, she's anorexic. i forgot which episode but when lishanshan (hahahahahaha. i bet my sis loves her name) sort of attacked her, i was thinking 'omg. i think ruien will die. she doesnt even have any fats/meat to support herself when she falls.' hai. but it's ruien. like thomas ong. i just watch all her shows.

and xiaoxin and his 'HQSF'. hai. why is his pronunciation so bad. he's struggling even with 4 single alphabets.

and i am still struggling with school work. one more week to reading. crazy lab sessions. marketing project. cca. sian. applying for cuhk's summer programme. but getting accepted will mean that i will miss sports camp this year.

KAT-TUN ONE DROP

Scientists dream about doing great things. Engineers do them.

2009-02-05T16:35:00.007+08:00

the above quote from our favourite website always.

'mary dreams about cleaning her house. her maria does it.' hi my name is maria. haha.

oh man. this show confirmed my choice to not join a wafer fabrication plant. haha. i mean the whole factory has no colour? the machines are white, their uniforms are white. noooooo. just when they are trying hard to inspire the audience to join engineering, or to get their sons/daughters to join engineering, it's making me regret. haha. okay maybe not. but the chances of me joining a wafer fabrication plant is very low.

but there's still scenes that are worth watching. they filmed in nanyang!! woah!! cos there was this sequence abt ruanmianmian's past. then there was the jc her and her boyfriend in this strangely familiar walkway and pond. i was so shocked la. nanyang? why? because it's near to caldecott hill? but yay!! haha. at first i still couldnt believe it was ny till the credits came out and our familiar school crest appeared. and apparently they filmed in engin too. woah. and oschool.

but the SIA parts are good. har. and our dear elvinng trying to act as sato. hai. maybe the mediacorp is trying out with the daiyangtian formula again. and his fake accent. hahahahaha. okay. i prefer the DYT's one.

and i cant stand how this drama is so hard selling engineering. it's like 'engineers are cool, dance well and are good-looking!!' and the 5min thing with actors speaking about engineering. eg the taypinghui and his 'scientists ask 'why?' while engineers ask 'why not?' and ending cheekily with 'if u like to ask 'why not?', maybe u have the engineering dna in you.'' DNA? hahahahahahahaha.

oh. and i saw sde friend in the show too. haha. sia side. hi sde friend.

hell.

2009-02-03T01:23:00.001+08:00

i want to sleep i want to sleep i want to sleep.

but i cant but i cant but i cant.

i hate marketing.

Young and dangerous.

2009-02-01T23:59:00.003+08:00

i will definitely watch this series when im free. together with all's well ends well. haha. and it's really strange to see matt-sir here. with his long hair. haha. ekin cheng ah. and anthony wong with long hair.

NANA.

2009-01-30T23:41:00.003+08:00

i think me and my sis are the last few in this world to watch nana. haha. finally. actually both of us heard abt the film, knew it was famous but somehow i think Mika Nakashima's punk look scared us away. but still we picked it up during the cny period, and woah we were blown away. yay. love it.

matsuda ryuhei, matsuyama ken'ichi, narimiya hiroki; the cast alone attracted us. and it's adapted from a shojo manga. haha. how rare right. a shojo manga adapted film without dreamy looking guys with huge eyes and ugly hair. haha.

we didnt read the manga so we cant say it didnt live up to its manga. but the film alone i thought was good enough. like most other japanese films by tbs, the shooting style i thought was very tv like, but i guess the good acting helped a lot.

and on the story. it's so dangerously similar to the one i had in mind all this while. and just when i tot 'yesh. finally an idea that is new!!'. oh man. haha.

ENDLESS STORY 徳永英明×伊藤由奈

this song is so over-sung. so over-used. and so. hai. and now i remember where i heard this song before. engin o week. oh man.

2mths to perfect cut 2. yes. and the engineering channel 8 drama is starting soon too. taypinghui works in a waffer fabrication plant. woo. and alvinng the aeronautical engineer. quoting my friend, how possible can engineers be so good looking? bluff one la.

2009-01-28T01:42:00.005+08:00

haha. i just realised the shot above has raymond cho on the left. hi, you are getting famous ah. hahaha.

this opened on 26jan in hongkong. so i guess other than all well ends well 2009 they had another alternative. hai. we have the jack neo one or the Christopher lee one. and i seriously thought their ratings should have been swapped. jackneo's one as PG and christopher lee's one as NC16. hai but still. i hoped for better movies this cny but the 2 local ones are just rather disappointing.

talking about all well end well. haha didnt watch it but i saw this in the trailer!!

the feet without bird. eh no. the bird without feet. (watch the leslie cheung's one here)

and when i rewatched mcdull alumni i realised they made a reference to days of being wild too.

alex fong asked the girl to look at the clock for a minute. (watch the leslie cheung(why also him!!)'s one here)

haha. nice.

gaijin.

2009-01-23T20:35:00.003+08:00

tmd. is not that i discriminate but they just disappoint me once and again.i've told someone this before, but they are still like that you know. they i dunno what they learn in their hometowns but i guess we cannot trust foreigners? i bet their first lesson in life is not to be nice to your parents, to be responsible for your society..; they learn the art of siam-ing. they are so good at running away from work.

yesh. they may do well in school work but other than that they just submit sub-standard stuff? then why join CCAs still? why come spore? why not just stay in your freaking village.

Perera. u said we needed foreigners but we dont want to see them. but how can we use them when all they know is to siam? u know they are those no matter how u shoot arrow they confirm can run away one. maybe they have amour of gold?

u know all text on japan (esp by angmohs) then to focus on japan's xenophobia ah, gaijin. pui. the gaijin themselves are not reliable loh. of course they need the alien card. esp those from the not so far away country one door away (after korea).

hai. i know im those who cant be angry for long. after cny, more saikang!! woo!!

atarashii terebi.

2009-01-17T11:43:00.003+08:00

infernal affairs never looked so nice. waaa. im so attracted to the colours. hooray to new tv. haha. and finally i got down to watch IA2 together with cast and crew commentary. thank goodness that it's subtitled. because felix chong is mumbling more than talking. the same goes for alan mak and andrew lau and edison chen.

it's really nice to see the cast and crew's take on the film. andrew lau deliberately playing with colours and alan mak's idea on 1997 and also francis ng and anthony wong on how they are really unlike their characters. you know like how many actors tend to say like 'oh. the character is very much like me. blah blah.' they were complaining their characters are so unlike themselves. and they cant believe they acted that. haha. nice one.

and my favourite commentary is from hu jun. which he commented on the scene which he died. on how anathony wong acted. and also andrew lau. it was a one long take.

but. IA's commentary doesnt come with subtitle. stop mumbling felix chong!!

hai.

2009-01-16T23:01:00.001+08:00

my tv's not reacting correctly when i plug in my thumbdrive. hai. it's down to me to call the LG people again.

Andrew Lau can be cool too.

damn. i am starting to find school interesting.

sem2's the shorter sem and i really hope not to end up doing 6 mods again. the first 2 sems because of ddp; but after getting kicked out in sem3, i still did 6 mods, because of js. js was sort of like a surprise one. i was surfing cors (haha) when round 3A started and js needed only 1 point, and since it was on films, i thought i could give it a try. with the idea of maybe dropping it after the first lecture. but i kept it; my 3rd sem with 6 mods.

and this sem. hai. 4 cores. very killer cores. esp they are not in the areas that i am good at. semiconductors, assembly language, transistors. hai. and sem2 is also shorter. my other 2 mods: marketing and soci.

marketing lecture was on monday and i sort of convinced myself to drop soci. but soci lecture today made me want to drop marketing instead. but i know both modules are really hard to score. see la. dont want to give me film mod this sem. only got one. level 3000. by LBC somemore. hahahaha. but i cant do that too because of time table clashes.

i have till this friday to decide.

my rash is recovering. though i've still yet to find what i am allergic to.

and... we at #12-76 have gotten ourselves a new tv. yayyyyy. LG model with a LG HDD dvd recorder. i know this is kind of out (since the rest of the world had most probably gotten their hdtv ages ago) but my sis and i were waiting for the price drop. oled might be coming out this year but i guess to reach a price we can afford, that will be another 5 years time. opting for a dvd recorder and not a blu-ray because we cant afford to buy large numbers of blu-ray disc anyway. and no one seems to sell hk blu-ray in spore too. LG because.. they are quite reasonable for price. haha. and sorry KURO. you are just way off our budget. first a samsung printer and now an LG tv. hai. my japanese products at home are all getting replaced by korean ones.

yayyyy. this coming thu. our new tv!!

a chance to look at what's inside my head.

the previous time i checked it wasnt like this.

it had like 4 Hs. haha. so i guess im full of desire now. but what's up with that 猫 over there? how can i be thinking of cats?

i tried with my chinese name too. so the chinese side of me doesnt have so many desires. but wish for more money.

i really thought mine will be full of 金金金金金金金金..

and if i am a t-shirt,

mine will have english words. haha. Bad english. hai.

Anyone out there thinks that Twilight reminds you of My date with a vampire? haha. i have to admit i did not read the books nor did i went to watch the movie. but the plot sounds like a complete déjà vu. i was a super 我和殭屍有個約會 fan when i was still in primary school. season 2 to be exact. some scenes i've watched over like 20 times and i still have the vcd with me now. season three was a flop la, but the first 2 seasons were like miracles of ATV. haha. one of the few ATV dramas that have viewerships that is way higher than tvb's. and apparently the author of twilight got her idea from a dream. so maybe.. she was watching 我和殭屍有個約會 before she fell asleep. right. but i'll go for 況天佑 anytime although he is much fatter, older.. and has more wrinkles. haha.

either my fax machine hates me or the fax machine at the other end of the line hates me. because it just refuses to fax.

i was telling my sister why i never liked will pan or kelvin cheng. because they lack the kyaa factor. u know the 2 of them, they never look ugly. no matter what they do they look completely the same. even if they are standing, sitting, lying, they look the same. there isnt a best looking moment. ch8's showing Under the canopy of love soon, but hai kelvin cheng, maybe i shall root for bosco instead.

on the other hand, i rewatched some parts of Good Luck and i realised what makes kimutaku the king. because his 嘴巴够濺. nice.

and Kou Shibasaki is actually quite pretty. haha. i think both she and homaki are quite pretty, but too bad, they need more sleep to remove those dark rings around their eyes. or more concealer.

SEP results out. damn it. taiwan. taiwan... ahhh.. why did i put taiwan as first choice.. hai. okay. hk summer school la.

and i have a new pair of glasses.

SG last week. the other 3Ys on christmas eve's eve. sportscamp on sunday. basketball people tmr. o comm on sat. yayyyy.

okay. solved my fax problem. someone re-wired the fax machine. and rewired wrongly.

李克勤-自作自受

no, this is not yet another IA post. this is an IA3 post, which i have not blogged about before. haha. i think a lot of people, including myself, does not know that Hacken Lee actually sang the theme song for Infernal Affairs III. part one was so famous so everyone knew it was by the leads themselves, the second by Beyond is not that well known(i mean the song, Beyond is really well known la) but at least i knew. ha. but part three? I knew this very much later.

i've been bathing very late recently (it's holidays!!) and so each night while waiting for my hair to dry i'll just take out a random issue of iweekly to browse through. and yesterday night, i took out the IA3 issue and apparently there were some unhappiness which arose over who to sing the theme song. haha. so andy lau recorded his part (this can be found on youtube) then i dunno what tony leung didnt want to sing with leon lai and then leon lai was only willing to sing if all 3 were okay with singing the theme song. and in the end there were also problems with andy lau's record company and tada, they got hacken lee in the end.

but. this is an IA3 post. haha. so in the last 24hrs i managed to watch 3 films: kurosagi (hai. that was disappointing..), days of being wild (previous post!!) and yay Infernal Affairs III. initially i wanted to go on with Happy Together but that film is really very heavy, so i gave up and started watching IA3 instead.

IA3 is the first film of the trilogy that i watched. yesh. which i did not understand at all (naturally). haha. so after i finished IA3 (which is also the only IA film i watched in cinemas), i went to buy the IA and IA2 VCDs. IA2 is the one which i watched the most number of times, IA ranks second and i think i've only watched IA3 thrice, including today. the first time i didnt understand at all what was happening, the second time on my mandarin dubbed vcd and today, the cantonese dvd version. finally. i think i understood this movie.

from the iweekly interview with andrew lau and alan mak, they answered this question on what's the motive of IA3. so they said IA2 they were playing with time and IA3 with character development. but i dont really see it that way la. IA1 is very obvious, its focus is on the plot. but on the other hand, i think IA2 plays with character development, while IA3 the focus is on the stars, 明星魅力. seriously, part3 other than andy lau, dont u think the other characters are quite underdeveloped. the story dont attempt to tell u something, but base it on that u have watched the first 2 films, and at the same time understands the actors themselves well; and then see how they try and outshine each other.

like how i dislike charmaine sheh, i dont really like leon lai too. but i like Yeung Sir. he is outright evil, he is a cop nonetheless, but he will go into extends to get what he wants. and i like this character. if they have chosen someone whom i dont dislike that much, the effect might have been dilluted. tony leung as a cheeky mole, andy lau's quest for redemption, the odd but strangely smart chen dao ming, the always suspicious mob boss eric tsang and cool kelly chen; i thought the character and the actors themselves have emerged into one. i think the only pity is Anthony wong, he is mia for almost the whole movie.

it's a good tie-up for the trilogy. esp i like the very last scene for IA3 where tony leung went into the hi-fi shop and then he took out a few bags of white powder from a speaker before we see andy lau entering the hi-fi shop, which is exactly the classic scene in IA1 when andy lau's character first met tony leung's character. the quality of this scene (it has those marks which often occurs in those older hk films) matches more to IA1, so i guess it could have been a deleted scene from IA1. but this actually makes the ending of IA3 connect directly to IA1. so it's sort of like an IA1->IA2->IA3->IA1.. cycle. and this coincides with the theme of the trilogy, right.

i think the hardest thing to get in this film is the confusing timeline. every other 15min, there is a shift in time and it gets really frustrating to follow on first viewing. what's worse is that some things did not happen at all, it was just what andy lau was imagining. so sometimes u just get lost in the narration. but once u sort of know where u are at now and know that andy lau is going to develop schizophrenia, everything actually quite falls into place.

there's a scene which i like a lot too. it is when kelly chen has realised that andy lau is not that okay, because he was behaving like tony leung, or at least he was attempting to be like tony leung. the bgm was a Debussy kind of piano piece and then andy lau started repeating everything that tony leung said and the alarm clock suddenly rings. it's almost like A beautiful Mind already. that man is siao!! haha. but it does create that claustrophobic feel.

Days of Being Wild.

2008-12-26T12:52:00.003+08:00

Finally i finished this. after watching it for the third time. haha. the first time i gave up after 20min and the second time after 40min. and the last time i watched this was already one sem ago.

nice. actually i really like this film. i guess for the first 2 times i was trying too hard to find the plot? because there was no obvious plot and i was very stubborn to try and find one. this time i just heck the plot and just enjoy the sound, the cinematography; and it's really not bad.

i like the last 3 minute of the film, which i guess quite a lot of people brought up on imdb. stephen chow made a paraody on this scene too. there are some angles in which he does look like tony leung.

Japanese Trailer
Another scene with Leslie Cheung

though this is my favourite scene(from 6:01). leslie cheung went to Philippines to find his mother; his mother refused to see him but tried to peek at him from her window. so he chose to not turn back at all, because he felt that since his mum decided not to give him a chance to see her, he too will not give her a chance too. and then he just keep walking without turning back.

I think another interesting thing to note is that the chinese title, 阿飛正傳, is the chinese title for Rebel Without a Cause when it was shown in hk.

it was out just now at 11am but i only managed to summon some courage to wake up at 1230 and to check it at 1. the first time, seriously, i am so scared abt my results. i have an 8-ball permanently on my widget bar in case i have some questions i cant answer myself. so i was waiting for firefox to load and tried to ask 8-ball if i'll do well this time la and the answer was 'it is definitely yes.' so i guess that's a good omen.

i dunno whether i shd be happy abt my grades this time round. yes it is an up in CAP, but not as much as how i wanted it to be. or at least for it to pass the 4.0 mark. next sem's going to be a tough one, so it's going to be even tougher to pull the CAP up.

and unexpectedly, my best module is the one i thought i am going to flunk. and my worse module is the one i tot was pretty easy. damn it. signals is kind of expected, given the little effort i put in. i wasnt putting any expectations into som or js but they are all okay okay. my cs1102c is better than my cs1101c. haha.

and i need to choose module for next sem. sian. faster SEP result come out and i can do all the sai ones while i am overseas.

and actually after sending in the application for SEP, im kind of regretting putting tw as my first choice. i was choosing btw hk and tw for the first choice but i tot if i have to survive on hk food for 4mths i think i will just die. haha. 'noooo.i dont want another serving of 公仔面!!' haha. but to think of studying semiconductors in mandarin, haiiiii.

The Whale Ad. Again.

2008-12-23T01:25:00.002+08:00

just when i tot this idea is already too over-recycled. again!! from episode 2 of Your Class or Mine. haha. finally found a drama that suits me. so we have this prodigy who draws strange pictures and no one can understand her. when i first heard the parents saying that she was drawing stuff and no one knew what she was doing, i already had the 'oh no. they better not repeat it again' OS in my head. and yesh. it's that same thing again.

阿MAY老師／SHOWBIZ‧團體舞蹈PK

Hoooouuuuuuusssssssseeeeeeeeee!!

i remember i was telling someone that i was learning house and the reply was 'house can learn one meh? i tot it's just disco dance?' hai. haha.

i had this strange feeling before they started performing that they might be doing house. or maybe that was just a little wish within me because no one had performed house in 棒棒堂 before. and they really did!! yay. watch 阿MAY and his reggae too.

and. some spending this week. threadless' 5bucks tee promo still on. but i bought 2 other 10bucks tees. it seems cheap but together with shipping fees it amounts to quite a lot. hai. shall take those tees as new year clothes.

and my moleskine!! haha. i bought my moleskine already. a very not cultish-love red diary, cos most of those who loves moleskines will opt for the black plain notebook. but after giving some thoughts over practicability, i settled for the red one instead. stylo. will bring to school for the next 2 sems to come.

2008-12-18T00:24:00.012+08:00

i think recent tvb suffers from the 'damn. i should have just watched the second last episode and forget abt the last' problem. but. im glad i watched the last episode. episode 19 of Catch Me Now (原來愛上賊) can be regarded as the last episode because you know almost everything u need to know already, episode 20 serves more as an SP.

i admit i knew a certain important element of the ending before really watching it because of the spoilers i got from youtube and wiki. but they still surprised me, perhaps even more than if i didnt know that certain important element.

Catch Me Now is a really low budget production. there is no theme song, no big cast and no big effects. but i love it still. actually i settled for Last One Standing at first, because it reminds me so much of Maou and it's the genre that i enjoy watching, but i gave up after episode 2. I had certain reservations about Catch Me Now because I was scared that the script could have been bad too given you know the budget.

if we dont count Drive of Life[because i stopped at episode 12], my last Damian Lau drama was Hard Fate. it was a hit then, at least among the people around me, some were kelvin cheng and niki chow fan and some flora chan fan. but i felt a little uncomfortable watching damian lau and flora chan. it was really 不素胡, 不素胡, 不素胡. it was either flora chan trying too hard to act cute or damian lau trying too hard to look suave, so i was kind of happy when he became crazy.

so i had a lot of reservations against damian lau before starting this show, and might the very reason i resisted watching it [joe ma was the other reason]. but i think i have totally changed my mind after watching this. watching michael miu act cool in dicey business was okay at first but when about 3 quarter of the show was over i felt a little uncomfortable, watching him trying to act young, so i was also kind of scared that damian lau might appear to be too forceful. but nope, it was good. they retained his grey hair [i guess natural] which was also an interesting move.

Jack ko is modern day Robin Hood, rob criminals and to give half of the loot to charity. because of a past incident, he does not believe that police alone can do enough justice to certain criminals and wants to punish them his way. leader of the gang of 5 thieves, he is cool, super cool. the kind of cool u seldom see in tvb. his clever exchanges with both kong yeung and BT are all the must watch scenes. he lives in a hse that looks super cool even if it is just one propped up in a studio. his taste is not that bad, though i think he drinks a little too much wine, i feel the pain for damian lau because i think he really consumes a lot of dark red/purple liquid [haha. is that ribena?] for this drama.

His relationship with bao yung-yung is quite comfortable to watch, thank goodness it's not those bing bing biang biang type. the subtle changes in jack ko after he met her is also nice to see. he opens himself up each day but he does realise accepting bao yung-yung will be a whole lot of responsibility.

johnson lee plays my favourite character BT(Tam Ben). he really makes the whole drama become so enjoyable and to some extend unique. who does his clothes? wa. it's so differently nice. i dunno whether johnson lee's degree had helped him in anyway, but i just love all his clothes, maybe minus the white shoes. and he is constantly 'sunning his english'. haha. im also wondering whether it's a move by the crew or by johnson lee himself. my second johnson lee drama, love his humor, love his acting, nice.

BT does electrial and computer engineering. waaa. haha. and is the top50 hackers in this world. he deals with all the electrical and IT stuff and can even control traffic lights. waaa. haha. a little ridiculous but it makes it even more interesting to watch.

Idy Chan plays Bao yung-yung. according to wiki, she had a 5 year relationship with chow yun fatt and andy lau has fallen in love with her too. waaa. haha. i have never seen her before, but she's good as the naive bao yung-yung.

for the first half of the show, i really think bao yung-yung is outright stupid. how can someone be so naive and kind? she's damn stupid la. but of course she didnt change, but i accepted her naive-ness at the back, like how i guess jack ko has accepted that too.

joe ma plays kong yeung. not a fan of joe ma because i didnt really like him in triumph in the skies. it's quite fitting for his surname to be ma, dont u think he looks like a horse? haha. right. his acting is still like that but it's already not too bad la. but i really dont like his jeans and white belt. out out out.

kong yeung, friend of justice, is a policeman. he draws a very clear line between what's wrong and what's right. so for the first half of the show we see him very determined to put jack and gang behind the bars. for the second half, he became friends with jack ko and the grey area starts to bleed into him.

his relationship with his family and wife seems a little underdeveloped and 2D. there are times when i hope they will just stop arguing.

fala chen plays minnie, wife of kong yeung. she is one smart wife. haha. even when the bad guy tries to blackmail her, they couldnt do anything to her. fala chen is still as good. i like her in MR, and here too. it's better for her to act as this kind of smart OL, instead of maybe the third party or some spoilt daughter. if minnie could argue less with kong yeung, it could have been better.

long leg crab, keyman and sissy. long leg crab is in charge of guns, keyman in charged of locks and sissy driving. they are all part of the 5-man team which goes round robbing the criminals.

this drama's only villan. of course there are other villans but they either somehow related to him or are actually working under him. yes. so he is the only villan. evergreen mak.

sharon chan as kong kiu, kong yeung's sister and BT's girlfriend. where did i see her before?

kong yeung's team. irritating at first but i guess they grew into me after some time.

yung-yung's son. i dont know why but he tends to stick his words together when he talks? hai. must be the trauma from his dad.

oily face keung!! hahaahaha. jack ko's old friend and lawyer.

the ending. i like the ending. though i was a little unhappy with the scriptwriter's decision at first but watching the alternative ending, i tot this original one is still better. leaving at the appropriate time, when u are at your peak and only leave the beautiful side of you to others; i guess that's what i like abt the original ending.

alternative ending. for those who are still screaming 'NOOOOOOOO~' to their tvs even after the credits are up. haha. unsatisfied with what i was given for the original one, i went to watch the alternate one, but i guess the original one is still the better one.

who is this har? stupid person. i tot he was a spy by evergreen mak leh. haha. evergreen mak sends spy into the police team. so i tot too much. chey.

the most out of character scene for jack ko. the part where yung-yung came back after going through her course on perceptions. he just threw the panadol away and shouted that his headache had gone away in a very unjackly fashion.

there was this scene where jack and yung-yung's son were sword fighting? haha. excuse me. who u are fighting here against is the legendary 4-eyebrows 陸小鳳 [情與義值千金.. god of cookery!!], confirm lose right. can u see his stance and the way he is holding his sword. the 1980s period drama pattern.

my love for things is very much like koreans, i realise. the love for everything original; the classic/original version of everything. lays classic, ruffles original, ipod classic, original coke, original pringles, original ripped cd (no radio rip or pv rip, thanks) and only to watch films in their original languages. i just dislike a variation of something that is already well done. like how my mum used to play around with the food she cooks, like adding something special to the meat dumplings she makes but i will tell her that there must be a reason why food/things are in a certain form today. because people have realised that this much be the best way, and variations will only make it worse. haha. 不孝！！

i am a super loyal buyer once find something that suits me. my brand for pens, erasers, pencils and correction tapes have not changed since my secondary school days; i just change for a new one of the exact model once my old one cant function anymore. almost the same goes for my slippers and my sneakers.

and my love for things that strangely have received cultish love elsewhere. my constant interest to look at new crumplers. my love for nike dunk. my love for eason chan's and mr children's music? my earlier love for mac and my most recent one: love for moleskine.

my current craze? you know this thing which u can use to emboss words onto a strip of tape and then u cut the tape and paste it onto anywhere u like. haha. and also GTD.

2 good news. for the okto sunday art film on 28Dec, they will be showing takuya kimura's Love and Honor (武士の一分). yes!! haha. and second. they are bringing in Yogisha X no Kenshin next Feb, the movie version of galileo. i know this drama-SP-movie trend [hanadan, kurosagi] is getting super boring. but who ask Yogisha X no Kenshin to be a box-office hit. now i want to watch it too.

and nodame's making a movie too. code blue's working on its SP.

still watching Catch Me Now. u know like how brad pitt seems to be constantly eating in the oceans trilogy, BT seems to be constantly drinking. haha. check out where he was drinking from in episode 13.

if u are a mr children fan like me. yes. their new album Supermarket Fantasy is out. which means a round of publicity on national tv. more live performance. yay.

Johnson Lee leh. that 李思捷 that Johnson Lee.

HKAIFF 2008- 金國民Citizen King Trailer

wow. i didnt know abt this. haha. was reading his blog when i found out abt his directorial debut. was shown at HKAIFF this year. watch the trailer.

and on another note. actually the previous johnson lee show that i watched was Devil's Disciple and i sort of long forgotten abt him. till Catch Me Now. BT is totally my favourite character. haha. and only that i remembered something that i forgot. he has the same birthday as me. the second person i've found till now.

and his favourite film is godfather. i really thought he was only funny.

check out an introduction on his film on HKAIFF website.

有grades唔系大塞架！School唔系大塞架！k書都唔系大塞架！

2008-12-13T01:42:00.003+08:00

Reading this got me thinking. i guess i have really liberal parents who supported my sis and i to do anything we like. there are times when my mum will tell me 〞這有什麼用？〞 but my dad really seldom. our hobbies are quite crazy and our aspirations even crazier. my sis has strange wordings on her wall and i want to have maozedong sprayed on my wall. haha.

and actually i long wanted to blog abt this during the exam period. quoting our dear ah-Ka and changed to suit the context '有grades唔系大塞架！School唔系大塞架！k書都唔系大塞架！' right. i dunno whether i got too brainwashed during the jc days or that my rebellion period is coming too late, but recently i really feel that studying is not all that important. but the problem is, almost everyone in EE feels that it is. which makes me feel a little suffocated?

go outside and look at the world. because it does not revolve around whether you are doing well in your studies or not.

on the other hand, i finished MR but am a little lazy to blog about it. haha. 遲d先啦！

from episode 20. so 管家仔 knows dingding too. hahahaha. nice.

I need to get a life.

2008-12-13T00:51:00.005+08:00

For the whole of this week, i've been leading a total parasitic life. i've been doing nothing other than watching tvb dramas and playing patapon. hai.

so yesterday i got a little guilty and decided to continue cleaning up my room. i think till now i've used 12 whole hours cleaning up my room, throwing away useless stuff [i threw away 10 whole bags of things by now] and it's still not as neat as how i hoped it will become. maybe for the rest of this month i shall continue cleaning up the whole house, which i have wanted to do since ages ago.

come, get me out of the house leh. let's go kbox. or anything la. just stop me repeating the cycle of tvb drama, patapon, dinner, more patapon and then tvb drama.

and i am just lazy to get jobs. after the 7-month torture, the idea of working again really puts me off. tuition is my only income now but even 2hrs a week is torturous for me. i am a parasite of this society. oh man. haha. okay i dont mind working in a dvd rental shop. haha. or kinokuniya.

SEP application ends this sunday and i've yet to complete the application. hai. stop procrastinating and get a life.

on another note. im going to school tmr so i guess that will make me a little less useless. and that the shop has called yesterday to inform that my calendar is here. yay. i hope they dont try and rob me because i didnt ask for the price in the first place. please make it less than 20bucks.

listening to xiejiafa makes me want to watch healing hands again. damn. i need to spend more time out of my hse.

Don-Chaka.

2008-12-06T02:13:00.001+08:00

this is super funny. and i like how they called this game don-chaka because the first was patapon.

on the other hand. episode of 15/16 with yoyo mung, linda chung and frankie lam. hahahahaha. they are damn funny.

hahahaha. when frankie lam said that he will remember them if they bluffed him even at the 2nd question.

after linda gave an analysis on the number question and to conclude they use Arabic numeral. but when they asked her if she knew the difference between Arabic numeral and roman numeral and she said she didnt know.
