Anohter lovely Weekend

It's just a very peaceful lovely weekend. Those usual stuff on Sat... swim, sunbath you know... that's why I came to Santa Barbara for hahahahaha... I finally found the wholefood in town. and I've found the best cereals ever, the Dorset Cereals!!! lol so happy~~ and I've watched the not very good movie at night...

I went to the nicest Italy restaurant (according to Petra & tony) with Nestor today and had a very very very delious late lunch. It's the best meal I've had this time I am in the state... :P And then finally I went to the spot that I always pass by when I drive down to LA. The place I thought it's a lot of surf shops and stuff... and ya, very disappointing :( um... it's some BBQ restaurants by the beach tho... but the beach is cross the rail -_-... um... anyway it's not too much fun... the most exciting thing was, I went to Nestor's home and watched some "Tuesday File". and he started showing me what did he bought from A&F, the shop that a lot of Asian love and expensive in HK, and the shop with super strong stinky perfume all over, and 2 metre around the shop. Though, I found that A&F is actually quite good!? damn it.... and he's bought a lot during its sale... it's like $20 for a very good quality t-shirt man... and he sold some to me! ~_~ I've got 1 for Jimond too~~ how embarrassing~ haha anyway... it's such a relaxing lovely weekend~~ and Tracy will be coming next Friday~~~ wooohooo~~~ hope that we will go to the fish market with Tina next Saturday ^__^

盲山 Blind Mountain(5.5)

I m sorry to say but the movie is actually quite bad. It has a good topic to point out ridiculous problem happening in China but the story is kinda very shitty... and the ending was rubbish but I guess if you wanna take this kinda topic in China, you probably have to do some shit to fulfill the China government or those rubbish departments. And those things make it even worse. um... I feel like it has to be some directors to do this kinda movies to remind us what kinda society we are living in. We must feel bad after watching it but seriously, what can we do? It's the problem of the whole system, it's the problem from the whole country. And what's gonna happen besides creating a group of upset ppl? um... how contradicted?

The Road Home 我的父親母親 (8)

I heard it's a good movie since I was still in Hgihschool maybe... And I just had a chance to see it last weekend. It's a very lovely touching story... I love the cinematography of this movie! and the whole movie is so beautiful... love it love it love it~~ Zhang Ziyi was very pretty in the movie... well she's actually a very pretty woman anyway... and the actors are doing so well... they are either some real local farmers or they've done such a perfect acting. Zhang Yimou actually handle this kinda story much better than those 100 million ones... but well, it's difficult I guess... And of course he should try different kinda movie if he has a choice anyway. I especially love how he use the camera, close up and wide~~ how he handle the natural lighting. It's seriously amazing~ :)

WAO~

Weekend in Paso Robles

Had a super nice weekend in Megan's grandparents house! It does sound a bit weird but yea~~ it was fun~ and I've learnt quite a few of California slang from the trip driving all the way up to Paso Robles. :D

hahaha~~~ Paso Robles is a tiny little town with only 25000 ppl living there~~ it's like 1 hour from the coast 2 hours from SB and SF~

Megan's grandparent house was amazing! massive and full of love!!! She is from such a lovely family seriously! Her grandparents are so young in heart and active. I do love the place a lot~~ haha... can u even imagine how big 7 Acres is? I was thinking a lot about the life of American and ppl from anywhere else. I am sure they work very hard too while they were young. But a retired corps and retired insurance staff's family can have a 7 Acres house? seriously? Anyway... they are super nice ppl and they probably deserve it.

Anyway... I do have a super great weekend and a lot of good food. They did very good BBQ beef (yea... I found it almost impossible not to eat beef in the state at all) and fish... Nothing very unforgettable except the gum wall!!! that's so disgusting... and damn disgusting! .\ /. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~~

Nice Sunday~~

It was a raining Sunday forecast and didn't really expect anything. But end up it was a lovely sunny day here~~ Woke up early, played a bit we the animals, pick some oranges from trees and made juice. Went to swim, and sunbath a bit... and then watched Alice!!! and cook a nice soup for dinner too~~ hahahaha... And I've done a bit of works too~~ hahahaha... what a lovely Sunday~

Alice in Wonderland (9)

Yea... I love the movie! from the story (sorry, love is blindness) to the art directions (thats definitely real) to the CG, to the actors, to the acting, etcetc... haha... I like it much more than Sweeney Todd and Corpse Bride~~ hohoho~~~ seriously, the story wasnt that great, but everything else are ver well done... Johnny Depp is so cooooooool as usual.
and Helena Carter is great cool too~ Mia Wasikowska is very pretty lerh~~~ ho ho ho... yea... I guess everyone wouldn't agreed to me, but i think it worth a 9~~ :D

Finally I've done my review of my 2009~~

Today, I've been damn laid back... almost done nothing, no sport, no movie, not even a full set of yoga... just lazy lazy lazy and done nothing... I've finally done my review on 2009 tho... seems that's quite a bit of things I've done... This year will not get as much work done as last year probably... coz I gonna go travel around for quite a while~~ :D hahhaa... 2010 is the year of traveling~~ Hope that I can really go for the Europe trip la~~~ I can't wait to meet Carina lerh~~~ lol

Once (6.5)

It's a movie about how a talented poor guy made his album and the people around and of course a girl who helps. The songs in the movie are nice, I guess that's the best thing they did well~ but I do find the whole movie looks more like a loooong music video or those TVB's 音樂特輯. Too similar indeed...
The acting of the main actor and actress are alright but the rest of the actors are just crap, sorry to say it~ It's a bit boring seriously but not annoying... as I said, at least it's done something quite right that the songs in the movie were good...

What I've done so far in the state~

Time just passed like crazy~~ it's my 3rd week here already! I've definitely settle myself and my mind too... having so much rest~~

I've finally finished Harry Potter 2-5!!! I've watched a lot of crap too >_< I really dont know why did I watch them seriously! I slept with Ishi for a few nights~~ bought a few clothes ,1 toy camera, tickets for Coahella Music Festival lol~~

I've hurt my arm quite badly from basketball, hurt my back quite badly from Yoga, and fingers from opening windows and some other fingers from basketball... seems that I really have to be careful this year of tiger~~

It's real cold and rains a lot since I came here....... the week before was a bit better and this week was getting worse again... hopefully the sunny lover weather is coming back very soon~~~ I do need some suntan!

I've said it

Yep I really like you a lot but I don't think we are in relationship yet.

Frost Nixon (7.5)

I like this movie~ especially I m in the state and I know nothing about the history here and the background of the movie really. I did read a bit more while I was seeing it and it helps... It's taken in a documentary way which I think it didn't help much to make it more real indeed :P I do find the actor were doing great and I always like those movie which some actors acting as actors in the movie... I always find the idea very fun somehow :P

Harry Potter II (7), III(7), IV(8), V(7.5)

I never thought of seeing these harry potter series until I came to the state, expecting it's no internet at home. I did see the first one and never find it interesting. Jimond just have all of these copy and put them in my harddrive. Very surprisingly, they are actually very well done movies. I hope that I didn't say a word to laugh at ppl who watch each episode of these in cinema. haha... I have to say, when I see the 2nd one, I still find it quite boring. But from the 3rd one they have done very good job and I do want to see them all since then. And I think it's kinda a process we can't miss the first 2 to find the rest interesting. The writer is just so smart and having the whole picture when she start writing the story. Sorry if I disappoint anyone here but I have to say, I like Harry Porter. As in the movie but definitely not the actor! He is basically the worst actor in the whole movie. Worst worst worst man! Very ugly, no character, bad acting. how could it be worse than that seriously. The CG are quite well done. and ah!!!! yes I found that those very nice effect in The Storm Warriors II, 風雲II which I think was very nice (and thought they are original) is actually copied from Harry Porter! what a shame!!!

400 Blows (6.5)

It is a damn famous movie but I guess it has to be seen in its time... probably not now... is it very explosive or very breakthrough or creative, I dont know but when I see it... it's another story of a kid taken in b/w... a bit boring one. I dont feel it~

Yea... so nice to back in SB

Really, I found the time here just goes much faster than in HK. I've been here for over a week already! Oh my god... and I've done so much shopping already!!!! crazy crazy crazy!!!!! I guess I m happy to be here but definitely not too much like to work there.... I can't live with the 9-6 working hour really.... I rather enjoy the day time and work during the night time.... but of course it's more like give up something and gain something else... either, or.... It's much better than a lot of others I supposed....
