starting work tomorrow anyway, and i feel too lazy to go! but i have to earn money for korea, so i will work as much as i can. on the sidelines i'm going to have to plan the korea trip, continue with korean and cantonese, keep random dates free for outings with people, finish splinter cell and assassins' creed 2 (i know right it's been ages already but i just haven't got the time) and other random things.

speaking of splinter cell, i don't get why people had gripes with conviction. the mark and execute does take away a lot of the work that you would have to do in previous titles, but it adds to the whole spy-movie-like feel of the game. when i play or when i watch people play it always seems like i'm watching a spy movie. and the interrogating sections might be a little over-dramatic but i like the destructible environment. and the co-op mission was really cool. i liked the way it tied in to the main storyline. the only thing i hate is the whole black and white thing that is supposed to show you that you're invisible to enemies. it's so much harder to navigate in monochrome. but you get used to that, i suppose.

i want to go to jb because my mum says it's more likely that i'll be able to find dvds with cantonese dialogue there. ): but i won't buy it now i guess. will save for korea first!

okay that was totally a twitter-worthy post. if i read this post over again a few years down i wonder if i'll know who i was referring to.

ramen (?) lunch later! or maybe something else. we'll see. i don't feel like going back to work haha oh dear. okay i have to think about saving up for the korea trip. i'll have to work 65 days to earn enough to cover tickets and accommodation.

alright so this wasn't such a twitter-ish post after all.

i love the feeling of waking up and knowing there's nothing you need to go do or study. this kind of liberation really makes you feel like life is finally worth living. i keep telling my mum that life isn't worth living because you're either hungry or tired or both at the same time. but waking up this morning i just felt refreshed. (:

okay i'm sorry if you still have papers and you're reading this. i don't mean to rub it in.

i think i went mad watching tv the last few days when starhub offered all the channels free for two days. it was seriously film after film after film. haha but they were nice films! i finally got to watch shinjuku incident, and i'm seriously tempted to get the dvd for it. the one they showed was censored, but just imagining what they did was bad enough. haha even i found it shocking. so i guess i'm not that abnormal after all. i'll go search around for a dvd of it soon. need to buy the dvd of the sniper too anyway. but i want to find one with cantonese dialogue. i'm trying to learn cantonese too! okay i'm totally over-ambitious haha. but the three months should be put to good use, yes?

anyway i think it's the over-indulgence in hongkong cop films and dramas lately, but i'm totally a fan of that genre again. hongkong makes the best cop films and dramas, really. it's amazing how they make everything seem so real and how they just draw you into the story and make you really feel for the character. haha if i decide to major in japanese studies after all i think i'm going to specialise in film studies. at least i get to do something i enjoy.

and richie ren seriously stars in a whole lot of films. in the span of two days i think i've watched three or four films with him inside. but he's got the kind of looks that grows on you. and his character in breaking news is, for lack of better words, fangirl material. i'm such a sucker for the tough gangster with a soft side kind of character. or undercover cops would do as well. or snipers. okay, snipers win hands down any day. i never get tired of re-watching the sniper even though counting the two times i watched it while it was being screened in the cinema means that i've watched it a total of five times already if i'm not wrong. wish the plot was more developed, though. but the film more than makes up for it with all the eyecandy scenes.

okay i get that i sound completely like a rabid fangirl now, but oh well.

meeting up with ming shuan and liyun after ages next wednesday! can't wait to see them both again. (:
