UPDATE!
i have not blogged for ages... bcos i was on a 2-week trip to japan and korea, visiting places like disneyland and beautiful scenery featured in korean dramas. yar, i wish.
basically my holidays can be summarised as follows:
movies bridget jones diary with wY and cY (who arrived late). nice movie though some critics feel that it was just recycling the winning formula which made the first movie a success, eg. the fight scenes between the 2 male protagonists and bridget jones' big butt landing on the camera. well they are still funny, so watching more of these nevertheless can still make me laugh.
watched blade trinity with wY and cY again recently as many others can't make it bcos either of work, or maybe no money. imagine a guy trying hard at home shaking his legs and hoping for some money to drop from his legs. =P
some other movies watched include the incredibles, taxi, the forgotten, shark tale and the princess diaries.
upcoming movies to watch should include national treasure, a world without thieves, kungfu hustle and ocean's twelve. actually, i'm quite interested in watching alexander, although critics say it's too looooong, but most importantly is that it's M18. and no, i dun think i'll watch any christmas movie. never celebrated christmas at all, so not interested.
korean dramas i'm currently chasing 3 of them now. summer scent on ch U, glass shoes (an early 2002 drama and ch8 is only showing it now) and stairway to heaven, which i bought the vcd at 25% discount at TS. really, dun buy vcds from anywhere else. of cos, all 3 shows have been shown on ch 56 b4, but i didn't have time to catch from the start till the end.
summer scent is getting draggggy. son ye jin (huiyuan) should stop crying and move on with her life. she is still gonna be with minyu at the end anyway. moving on to glass shoes and stairway to heaven, both feature some similarities, like beginning the shows with children, who are the younger forms of the leading actors and actresses that takes over at about the 3rd episode or so. notice korean dramas like Autumn fairy tale and All in start their shows with young people too. glass shoes and stairway to heaven have one of their leads suffering from amnesia too, although they will recover sometime or another.
stairway to heaven is really nice... starring choi ji woo and kwon sang woo... it's a very well packaged drama, with good looking leads and best of all, the wonderful music which kept me so intrigued during the only one episode i watched on ch56 and led me to buy its vcd eventually. and most probably the OST. haha... it's not so draggy too, so no wonder it scored the highest ratings in korea for 2003 or something like that.
it seems that i'm more interested in such dramas than my mother... oops.
chalets & bbq i've been to my overnight class chalet and primary school class chalet. yes, there's a primary school friend who never fails to organise one every year, courtesy of his parents too. i was supposed to go to some bbq organised by the library, but i told that grp leader of mine i had tuition which changed day sometime after i replied her. so i forgot abt the bbq altogether and went for library duty on the same day as the bbq. the tried-to-act-smart-but-unfortunately-isn't grp leader then smsed me the following day why i had time to do library duty and yet wasn't at the bbq. if she had brains, she will know that the tjc library closes at 6 pm, after which i can still go to tuition at night, although as i mentioned earlier, the tuition day changed.
comics i decided to "invest" in death note which was well received by many people... exciting storyline plus serious theme. it's the first time i'll be buying a series of comics so i wonder how long i'll need to finish the entire story. and i realise that just reading one book takes quite long of my time... which means $5 is really worth it.
work not the kind of work u are thinking of cos. i mean homework. i've never worked before. haha... i'm not after money so much currently, so might as well slack at home better. back to homework, i've not done much, just some maths only. argh... but tuition has started again, so maybe that will push me to do some homework. =)
library duty i've finished completing 11 periods of duty, with one more to go... but i still need to clear make up hours... which means more sitting at the counter, either reading or doing homework. very boring, although some may beg to differ as compared to some shelving duty they have to do in national library which contains tons of books that will never be finished shelving.
CO practice lion is strict as usual, but of cos with some jokes of his that will never fail to provoke immense laughter from someone in the erhu section. no prizes for guessing who she is. mr shen the percussion instructor is starting to get stricter too, since we are all quite slack in practising at home. we are now learning basics most of the time, and he has cut down on his rather crappy analogies. too bad he's returning to china till the end of the year, so when practices start next year, he'll expect much more from us. oh dear.
it's early now so i'll better sign off from this rather long entry~
PS. my previous blog music, 2046's main theme has just won the 41st golden horse award's best original soundtrack... which is not surprising of cos... haha.
