Hello World

Hello. Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I’ve been lazing around in Jakarta. I've just changed to the new Blogger. So far so good. I haven't really explored it in depth.

Here are some key words of what I’ve been doing for the past 13 days:
-Katamari Damaichi (this Japanese rolling game in PS2)
-The Right Word (the ultimate GP vocab book! *note the sarcasm*)
-Differential Equation (oh I don’t mind doing Maths for homework)
-GP essay outlines (somebody must be sick of this word *winks*)
-Final Fantasy XII (I just found out 2 days ago that one of my eyecandies is playing this game too O_O how interesting)
-Buying pirated DVDs (well, I counted and it’s about 8-9 DVDs)

I hate to admit it that I’ve not been watching many movies lately. Well, it’s one movie in 13 days O_O Such a shame thing to say for a movie aficionado. I need to watch more movies! At least I watched that movie yesterday. It was Brick! I’ve been wanting to watch this movie for ages *shrieks* Well, it lives up t

o my expectation, I’m glad to say that (you don’t know how disgusted I was with Happy Feet after being totally let down by it). The ending is sweet but kinda astonishing.

(The movie is reviewed below)

I've been playing Final Fantasy XII like crazy. Yesterday I played 7 hours O_O Today I played 5 hours. I'm trying to curb my time with PS2. I want to watch more movies and do more maths! I hope I can finish with Maths by Friday. Then I can do GP comprehension haha.

By the way, the next thing I'm gonna tell you might surprise you. I'm.. going.. Hong Kong again! Hahahaha. I know, the last time I visited it was last month. But, this time I may be going to China via Hong Kong. So I may be spending only 2-3 days in Hong Kong, while the rest of the trip in China. I think I'll mos

t probably be back by 28 December. This is because I need to do some Internet homework. Ughh.. it sucks when I can't really do it in Jakarta. The Econs Breeze wouldn't just work. Might be because of Zonealarm (it's a firewall programme). But, my bro's com doesn't have Norton. So I can't turn it off. Gah.

Let me leave you with some nice movie pictures. Such pictures do inspire me of studying Cinematography (which is kind of like Photography in the form of film) after my masters hopefully.

From Manhattan, directed by Woody Allen

Brick by Rian Johnson

I still can't find Casino Royale's gunbarrel shot (clear version). I just loveee that picture.

Movie Review
Brick (8.0 stars out of 10)
There’s a lot of hype for this movie from magazines and movie websites. I guess it really deserves it. This movie feels fresh for me, maybe it’s because I never thought that the mystery detective genre can be set in high school. If you’re wondering what Brick is, well it refers to a brick of drugs (marijuana some sort?). The ending leaves me very surprised. There’s one scene towards the end that makes me go “Oh.. my.. gawd..” because of how fast it happened. Ehm, if you’re wondering whether this movie is too serious for you, well I don’t think it’s too serious to be watched by teenagers. I enjoyed this show thoroughly.
