Old Boy

Old Boy is unlike any other film I've seen before. Totally original. Dark and disturbing though. Brilliant cinematography. Great acting. Can't say it's one of my favourite movies (cos it's too disturbing) but I think it deserves the Grand Jury prize at Cannes. And I'm glad I din miss the show. Heard Hollywood wans to do a remake of it. I think they will spoil the film.

Summer Scent

Finally finished the series! Compared to Autumn Tale and Winter Sonata (which is my fav), this is the most draggy series. This is especially so towards the later part. In fact, I feel that they should compact this to 10 episodes instead of 20. To some extent, Summer Scent is quite similar to Winter Sonata (female lead has a fiance, both leads work together in a resort project etc). However, I feel that Summer Scent has the best soundtrack out of the three series and the prettiest female lead (Son Ye-jin). She is soooo sweet. Can't say the same thing about the male lead though: what's up with the terrible hair and sleeveless colouful shirts?! But I love the ending. Perfect. Very artistic and romantic.

Random Thoughts (not in thinking order)

  • Visual basic everyday.
  • Wonder why I feel sleepy everyday at work despite sleeping at 11pm.
  • Weekends pass at a lightning speed.
  • I miss Amazing Race.
  • Why is American Next Top Model screening on Mon nite? And the upcoming Bi Xue Jian too. So late some more. Darn.
  • Hooked to the Channel U 9pm Meng Lijun show (yes, my impersonation). If I were her, I would go for the Majesty. More suave, more powerful and smarter. But then again, it only happens in shows. Dreaming again.
  • Old boy is actually showing in Singapore! Saw the trailer ages back. Never tot that it would be screened here. Plot looks intriguing. Got 8.6 rating in IMDB! Mus catch it before it's gone.
  • Wan watch Wimbledon too. I like both Kirsten Dunst and Paul Bettany. Think it's another standard no-brainer-but-feels-good romantic comedy though. But I like hee. Reminds me I miss my Raising Helen (and cute Kate Hudson)! Mus go find and download.
  • Stupid toto keep making mi lose money. Better open odd next week.
  • Think I hit the "Very Fat" scale.
  • Wan go swimming, but then think I'm too fat to be seen swimming.
  • Think I've lost my ability to PR. In fact, I think I dun even talk much nowadays.
  • Still got flu. Sian x 100.
  • Bit-torrent very slow.
  • 2 unexpected missed calls.

Sniff
Argh.. Down with flu. Sian. Mus be cos I've been skipping my daily dose of Vitamin C. There goes my weekend.
Anime
Naruto chap 233 not out yet. And the recent anime episodes sux.
Only found out today that Inuyasha finally ended. Yeah! But I'm already 10 episodes behind.
Initial D 4th Stage is out. Next on my download list after Naruto and Inuyasha. Thinking of downloading Hikaru No Go anime too. But hope the ending is different from the manga one.
