Watched 2 films within a week.

"Red Cliff" which i watched it last sunday with a friend.
A well-researched plot, i would have to compliment.
But it's very draggy, which I almost dozed off at several scenes.
The dialogues between Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan are corny and lame. But guess that's what the director intends to instill some humour within this show. Well, good efforts - i laughed at the unintended "corniness".

Only realised until the end of the show, that there will be a sequel to it.
was basically ^&%$^$#%@^&*(*
Not intending to watch its sequel. =(

One thing for sure, the filmography is pretty good, many magnificent scenes.

But I really dislike the dragginess of the plot.

As for this show, I would give 6.5 out of 10.

But like what ZJ they all told me, probably I have read the novel before, so already have a certain high level of expectation for this show.

Met up with ZJ, Jac and Sindy for a movie just now. =)

Short time to catch up, but i would say it's a quality catch-up time. =p

"The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor".

A pretty good adventure movie. The plot is clear and straight to the point. Humour is brought in pretty nicely to the show, except for the sand picture scene (super corny).

Worth the money to go catch it in the cinema. I would give 8 out of 10.

And realised that ZJ has the same movie taste as me - like plots of little romance and dragginess. hhahaa.. =p

Had a half day time off just now. Managed to visit a book store in wheelock place. love that book store - large variety of books yet the categories are well-organised.

Think currently there'll only be 2 areas which can entice me spend money without much hesitation.

Books and CDs.

A little wonder ponder....

How many of us love waiting?

Why are we constantly waiting?

What makes us wait?

Is it the faith that keeps us believing that waiting offers rewards, not punishments?

or

Is it that we are just too used to waiting?

Very often, I find myself waiting. Waiting for events to happen or people to be more proactive, out of miracles.

Is waiting a tell-tale sign of low self-confidence? Not confident that being proactive will give us positive feedback?

Or as mentioned earlier on, it's just that waiting has become a personality?

u love waiting? i happen to take the opposite view

i hate waiting. such a waste of time. I rather be pro active to make things happen than wait around for something that might not happen. hating to wait is also known as "impatience" =)
