Did something pretty evil today. I don't want to. (really.)
But.........

It's just too much fun being a part of it.

Um..photos...
I dare not to put them here. Don't want to risk my life.

Watched the DVD. Thanks a lot! I'm deeply touched.

2008-08-10T22:07:00.004+08:00

My neighbor's little doggy stayed at our home for 2 hours as they went to buy some baby dog food to feed him. My dad playing with him.

Finally willing to stay clam. He ran around all the time.

Fell asleep
Maybe he's just bored as my dad gave up playing with him. (I dare not to touch him.)
How small he is compared to my shoes.

2008 Seoul Day3

2008-07-21T23:43:00.006+08:00

We sort of planned our schedule today coz we didn't join the optional tour( which is quite boring and expensive). Started our journey at 11. Good to have a nice sleep last night.
our breakfast

test result: it seems hotter than the one sold in hk

where our hotel is
(the previous two were taken to recognize our way back to the hotel)
learned to take the subway.The guides were so worried about us. They just thought that we must get lost.

O'sulloc Tea House
recommended in the guide book

Gandalf...

Extremely tasty~
and cheap too~

Went to Lotte Market (near Seoul Station) to get our food and drinks.

Got back to hotel at 9 something. I can say we were the earliest one to get back to the hotel. Bought too much today that we collapsed and fell asleep at the comfy bed with our sour arms and legs.

Being the "double-loss" teens again.

Your Mind is Purple

Of all the mind types, yours is the most idealistic.

You tend to think wild, amazing thoughts. Your dreams and fantasies are intense.

Your thoughts are creative, inventive, and without boundaries.

You tend to spend a lot of time thinking of fictional people and places - or a very different life for yourself.

You Belong in Milan

Stylish and sophisticated, you want to enjoy a truly European life - away from tourists!

Milan fits you perfectly. Great shopping, high quality food, lots of culture... with very little hype.

Your Pride Quotient: 56%

You have your proud moments, but you're also likely to be a little ashamed of them.

Don't be too hard on yourself. It's normal to want to make a stellar impression.

You Are 40% Normal

While some of your behavior is quite normal...

Other things you do are downright strange

You've got a little of your freak going on

But you mostly keep your weirdness to yourself

You Are a Chocolate Cake

Fun, comforting, and friendly.

You are a true classic, and while you're not super cutting edge, you're high quality.

People love your company - and have even been known to get addicted to you.

2008 Seoul Day1

2008-05-27T00:32:00.008+08:00

Got back my dc, finally. I just discovered that I didn't take many photos. The main purpose of this tour was not sightseeing, anyway.

Took a 0030 flight wasn't something easy. You may expect people sleeping all the way out. (Initially, I was one of them.) But then, you found out it was a totally disaster to be on that plane, given that:
1) they will serve meal at 0100 (and you have just eaten a whole plate of fried noodles beforehand and expect no one will disturb your sweet dream.)
2) the guy sitting near to you is so dumb that he has no idea how to switch out the light he accidentally turned on and leaves it switched on until you ask and help him to turn it off.
3) that guy keeps on calling the flight attendant to serve him drinks. (water, beer, coffee, you name it.)
4) OK. That guy is sleeping and... SNORING at the same time. And there is no mean to cover his snoring, let say switch on the audio/video....to the loudest level.

Therefore, I didn't sleep for the whole flight, not even a second.

Arrived at Seoul at 0500 (local time) and I was damn tired.

--> Spa World
The first place to go. Don't take it wrong, it's not the spa you find in Thailand. It's actually hanjeungmak汗蒸幕. The one that you usually see in the korean drama. I wanted to go there for sssoooo long. I didn't expect it to be hanjeungmak when I read the schedule, especially when the guide remained us to bring the swimwear. I was so surprised to hear the news from the local guide that it's hanjeungmak.

But after the nice flight, we went straight to the "sleeping room" and slept for 2.5 hours. (It looks exactly the same as the one I saw in drama.) Then we fooled around in each floor as well. A good place to experience their culture and found that they just love the stuffy feeling in the building. It's way too hot and dry for me. Pity that we couldn't take photo inside.

--> Dongdaemun

--> Insadong Ssamziegil

--> Myeongdong

Shopping, shopping~

--> Stay Seven Hotel

The tour guide described it as "Small. Extremely small. You wake up in the morning and take a step further. You are in the washroom." =.=

It turns out to be:

Differ from what the guide said. It's not extremely small. Far better than what I had expected. I just feel warm and got the feeling of "I'm home!". "(Or maybe we were just too tired.)

It's what really shocked me. Look at that class door. It didn't have a lock on it. Lucky that I went with someone I know well.

[TV]欺詐遊戲

2008-03-22T21:07:00.003+08:00

(Please ignore the haircut of the male character, thanks.)

Liar Game欺詐遊戲
主　演：
　　　　户田惠梨香--神崎直
　　　　松田翔太--秋山深一
　　　　渡边一系--谷村光男
　　　　福井友信--神崎正
　　　　北村总一郎--藤泽和雄
　　　　吉濑美智子--艾丽

Adopted from the comic "Liar Game" which is a hit in Japan. I can't compare it with the original comic as I never read it before. I am fascinated by the plot. It's a very exciting and breath-taking story that keeps you watching til the end. The only things I don't like is the stupidity of 神崎直 and the haircut of 秋山深一. I like the ending very much. When 秋山深一asked about the forth round of the Liar Game. The reply is that "There is no forth round. See. The forth round is actually happening in everywhere. People in this world wear their own masks and try to fake others. This is the reality." (may not be exactly the same as it comes from my memory)

松田翔太looks very familiar.

05年才出道的年轻艺人，因为一部《花样男子》（日版流星花园）而受人瞩目。他就是松田龙平的弟弟,松田优作的次子，典型的演艺之家出身。母亲松田美由纪也是当时得令的女演员，在这样的环境里长大,想不入演艺界都难。他也是研音事务所的艺人，和速水重道一样，是公司里最被看好的年轻小字辈。

No wonder...

Adopted from the cell phone novel in Japan.
I didn't intend to watch it but....watched anyway.
A more realistic story compared with those typical Japanese love story. However, it is still very boring. From the very beginning of the movie, you can predict exactly what will happen next and even the ending. It's just DULL. I just can't see why it can hit the box office in Japan.

1. Cast I like 柴咲幸 very much. But 福山雅治 did shine out in the drama (playing that physics freak)

2. Terrific story ( don't ask me whether the plots are scientifically correct as I forgot all the physics long ago)

3. Surprising guests (e.g. 深田恭子, 堀北真希, 廣末涼子, 香取慎吾, 唐澤壽明,etc) 超豪華!

Timeless

2008-03-14T23:41:00.002+08:00

Timeless

There are three versions (I guess). I like the original one by Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini most. But the MV featuring Hank Yung is so touching. Now I found a perfect one.

Enjoy.

Atonement (spoiler contained)

2008-03-12T23:01:00.004+08:00

It 's really late to write something about it. Who cares, anyway?

Again attracted by the trailer and Keira Knightly.

Disappointed: Keira Kightly

Surprised: Saoirse Ronan (as Briony) and the story (I bought the book afterwards)

Um...I have no idea where to start. It is very hard to describe how I felt when I watched this one. The movie at first is a bit confusing. A little girl saw the very few parts of things and made her own interpretation. But then the couple did the same things again in their own view. It's FLASH BACK. And I didn't get that. Dumb.

When I understood what was actually happening, the story went on smoothly and greatly. I don't want to mention more about the story. What I can say is that the ending shocked me and I nearly cry. A very sad ending and I didn't expect an ending like this. It's a marvellous story.

The performance of Keira Knightly disappointed me ALOT. She didn't have any improvement in Atonement. Just like the same old Elizabeth in POTC and Lizzie in Pride and Prejudice. The acting of Saoirse Ronan was unexpectedly good. A very talented young actress. She was really eye-catching in the movie.

The Chinese title of Atonement just sucks. It is not the real meaning of atonement.

[TV] Gossip Girl

2008-02-22T00:09:00.001+08:00

A teenage soap show that I watched during Christmas (see how lazy I am). A story bases on the best-selling series novel Gossip Girl. The script is great, so as the scenes, actors and the clothes.
At first, I was attracted by the cast especially Blake Lively. But then after watching the whole season, I like Leighton Meester most. I just love the way she dresses in the show. So classic and elegant.

It's actually little J, but I like that mask. Kind of elvish.

It will return with new episodes in April 2008.

Juno [spoiler contained]

2008-02-15T16:02:00.004+08:00

A 16-year old girl got pregnant unexpectedly and later on decided to give the baby to a couple. End.

The storyline is not unusual. What actually win my heart are the script and Ellen Page (Juno). The dialogue is clever and humorous. I can't hold my laughter throughout the movie. Picking Ellen Page as Juno is a smart choice. She totally acted as the independent, clever and charming Juno that it is impossible not to like her.

Hoping that it will grab the Best Writing in Oscar. Ellen Page's performance is 'good' in this movie but it becomes ' not bad' when compared to her strongest competitor in Oscar . (Honestly, I think Cate Blanchett will be the Best Actress this year.)

Score:4/5

Sweeney Todd : The Demon Barber of Fleet Street[spoiler contained]

2008-02-07T01:24:00.001+08:00

Never Forget. Never Forgive.

Maybe I expected too much from this movie. (Anyway, it's the Johnny Depp and Tim Burton thing.) The storyline is extremely simple--revenge. Benjamin Barker(a.k.a Sweeney Todd) returns to London to find his wife dead and his daughter in the hands of the evil Judge Turpin. He opens a barber shop in the place he originally lives in before jail and cuts the victims' throat and ends their lives. Simple enough. It's not what I expect.

Except form the storyline, everything is just fine. It's like a musical rather than a movie. ( I do appreciate Depp's voice.) Several songs in the movie are from the Broadway musical itself like this one:

Alright! You, sir?/How about a shave?/Come and visit/Your good friend
Sweeney!/You sir! Too, sir/Welcome to the grave./I will have vengenance./I will
have salvation... /Who, sir? You sir!/No one's in the chair come on, come
on/Sweeney's waiting/I want you bleeders./ You sir? Anybody?/Gentlemen, now
don't be shy/Not one man/No, nor ten men/Nor a hundred can assuage me.

It makes me want to buy the soundtrack. I love the cinematography most, especially the contrast between the life of the foolish Mr. Barker and the evil Mr. T. Love the costumes as well. But all these can't cover up the emptiness of the story.

It is rated III in HK for the graphic bloody violence; somehow, I found it not that bloody (when you compare it with Battle Royale). But the scene when Mr. T kills Judge Turpin did shocked me.

(A side note: The beggar in the movie (Laura Michelle Kelly) acts as Galadriel in the Lord Of The Rings play in London.)

Love and Other Disaters

2008-02-02T23:54:00.000+08:00

"Maybe true love is a decision, a decision to take a chance with somebody. To give to somebody without worrying whether they’ll give anything back or if they’re gonna hurt you or if they really are the one.Maybe love isn’t something that happens to you. Maybe it’s something you have to choose.We should find out that true love is an event, not a process."

My favorite line from the movie.

Watched this one a few months ago for a very naive reason---the 50-second Orlando Bloom scene at the end of the movie. (I did counted. Don't expect much, though.) But the whole thing turns out to be unexpectedly good. A romantic comedy that really makes a good laugh. Go for it if you like Notting Hill and Love Actually.

Oh...forgot to mention the leading actor--Santiago Cabrera is the one who acted Isaac Mendez (the painter) in TV series Heros.

WT-The Heart Of Everything

2008-01-05T02:31:00.001+08:00

Within Temptation

The Heart Of Everything

A "little" evaluation for this album

(I'm not paying much attention when listening, fell asleep actually...)

Song List:

1 Howling
2 What Have You Done - Within Temptation & Keith Caputo
3 Frozen
4 Our Solemn Hour
5 Heart Of Everything
6 Hand Of Sorrow
7 Cross
8 Final Destination
9 All I Need
10 Truth Beneath The Rose
11 Forgiven

This time WT gave us something different. As claimed by WT, they belong to symphonic rock. But in The Heart of Everything, it feels like they are doing songs in Gothic rock. The vocal Sharon den Adel sings with middle pitch (which I don't really like) instead of the high pitch she famous for. Sometimes, change is good. But the point is whether the change can make them become a better band. Beside the vocal, the theme of the lyrics they wrote is different. There are quite a number of songs in this album concerning God. It's not a bad theme; however, the lyrics in these songs are very similar to each other. When I listened half of the disc, I fell asleep. Not that I was tired. The fact is that the melody and lyrics of the songs are more or less the same.

After listening to this album, the songs I still remember are What have you done and Forgiven, both are not in the usual WT style.For What have you done, it surprises me as I can never imagine WT can be that rock and I love the voice of Keith Caputo. For Forgiven, I'm attracted by its lyrics.

Enjoy

The fxxking exam was finally over.
What is done is done. The only thing I need to do now is to plan how to spend my sem break.

Went shopping with my bear at element after work.
Could't find the ribbon headband I want.

But I got the MAC lipstick I longed for and............LP Live In Texas CD/DVD Set
Actually, I got a copy from Yo long ago. But I just could't resist it.
I was considering whether to buy Annie Lennox's new album. When I spotted LP's set, I just picked one up and rushed to the cashier to pay. Ha.

Editor

2007-12-02T23:26:00.000+08:00

Look at the previous entries, it seems that my days now are surrounded by music (coz I'm just too bored).

Recently, I have taken up the role of "translator" and "editor" again.( you know, approaching the end of sem a when people rush to hand in all kinds of paper/report) I'm not complaining. It 's just ....you know, forcing me to recall the English I learnt. It's a difficult task as I haven't attend P.Chan's lessons for so many months and haven't write an essay that I truly satisfy. (reminder :the one that I truly satisfy is the one I wrote in F.6) In fact, I remember when I walked out if the exam hall after UE exam, I told everyone called me that I just wrote a piece of rubbish again. And the same word Heiman and I used to decribe our personal reflection paper for management.(I didn't even proofread this one) So, what I want to say is that my English is just in the worst level. Still, you are welcomed to ask me again if you dare to take the risk.

common people treat those talented as freak

[Linkin Park Live In Hong Kong]

2007-11-21T18:31:00.001+08:00

Got the chance to watch them in live finally. I just remember how bad I felt when I couldn't attend it like 2 years ago.

I nearly cried at the beginning when I finally saw them. I have waited for so long..They are FAB. Just look at the set list and you will know why we were so excited throughout the show.

Set B

01. Wake

02. Given Up

03. No More Sorrow

04. Lying From You

05. Don’t Stay

06. Somewhere I Belong

07. From The Inside

08. Papercut

09. Points of Authority

10. In Pieces

11. Shadow Of The Day

12. Numb

13. Pushing Me Away (Piano Version)

14. Breaking The Habit

15. Crawling

16. The Little Things Give You Away

17. What I’ve Done

18. Faint

[Encore]

19. One Step Closer

20. In The End

21. Bleed It Out

For the whole 90 minutes, we were jumping, screaming, clapping and waving our hands high up. Extremely tired but yet so exciting. The people around us acted like us as well. (They are Hong Kongers) I just went crazy when they sang Faint, Breaking the Habit and Bleed It Out. The most shocking part was the solo of Rob's drum. That's COOL. People never get cool down a bit during the show. The atmosphere was excellent but it would be better if the place was full. Last night was just 90% full and I don't like arena neither.

Overall, their live performance was excellent. Engergetic and memorable. That's even better than the CD version.

I LOVE YOU MIKE AND ROB!!!!!

YOU GUYS ROCK TONIGHT!!!!!!

beautiful scenes

Keira Knightley as elegant as usual

The story line is quite attractive. (And that together with Keira actually made me went to watch this movie.) The scenes are beautiful as I have mentioned. However, the pace is a bit too slow, especially for those (like me) who haven't read the novel before. And choosing Michael Pitt as Herve is a totally mistake. I just bored by his murmurs.The ending did shocked me when Madame Blanche said the second letter is written by Helene. It just made me sad. How can a wife stand it and send out a letter like this just hoping her husband to forget this lady? *sign* The ending is heart-breaking as well. and there are so many questions waiting to be answered. And it would be better if English subtitle is added when those Japanese are chatting.

Overall, it is a movie with great storyline and scenes. It did leave space for us to think and feel. In the middle, some of the plot might feel nonsense but they are crucial for the story development. After you watch the whole movie and think it all over, you will really get something from it.
