Holiday Post
1. Holidays are over-rated, especially if you need to work on them.
2. History distortion will be accepted as historical fact when it's being repeated enough and shoved down your throat since young. What's the meaning of celebrating a National Day when the day itself served no meaning as it's being shoved down our throat and left with no choice but accept it?
3. Nation building is a long process and rebuilding takes at least 2-3 generations. This saddens me.
4. Overstretching yourself can only be done to a certain limit and once the limit is reached, be careful as it will produce some detrimental irreversible effect, physically and mentally. I will keep reminding myself that.
5. To my friends and family, enjoy the holidays!!!!
6. September.... my holiday is coming soon!!!!!

When It's Time to Let Go.....
This is definitely not the case of "habis manis, sepah dibuang".When it's time to go, it's time to go.

Rais' another thesis in making?????
I seriously suggest he surveyed how much "you help me, i help you" goodies were distributed during GE and by-elections all this year but again, a masquerading academic (who tainted his PhD - an insult to all PhD holders) like him won't think right or speak right. With caricatures like him and his even more embarrassing predecessor Zainuddin, I would like to say Mohammad Rahmat was a saner UMNO minister.

HELP! - Oliver Burkeman
The smaller caption of the title says :
How to Become Slightly Happier and Get a Bit More Done
Before I decide to borrow the book from library, I flipped through introduction to help me to make the decision. It managed to get me by these :
Besides, as a rational, non-guillible sort of person, I was allergic to the cheesy premises of self help gurus.
But I should be honest : if I was half-joking, I was also half-serious. Deep down, however much we cover it up with cynicsm and wisecracks, isn't everybody at least half-serious about wanting to be happy?
That brings me to the name of my blog. :)
Taipei Exchanges (2010)
Taipei Exchanges (2010)Director : Ya-Chuan Hsiao
Cast : Lun-Mei Kwai
Purely because of Lun-Mei Kwai, this sophomore effort of Hsiao after 9 years is is a feel-good work. Under the mentoring of Hou-Hsiao Hsien, I hope she will have more funding to make more movies. Looking forward to that. Though coffee house or cafe might sound a bit tad "out" now, I am still intrigued to visit it during my Taipei trip. Gonna be busy in Taipei this time!
Face (2009)
Face (2009)
Director : Tsai Ming Liang
Filmed in moi Paris, with special permission to shoot inside the Lourve I would say Tsai went overboard this time. He kinda used the same tactic in his previous work, The Wayward Cloud (2005). It's funny to watch Fanny Ardant being dubbed with the old Chinese "shi-dai-qu" but that alone won't sustain my attention.
Au Revoir, Taipei (2010)
Au Revoir, Taipei (2010)Bought this just because of its filming location in Eslite Bookstore. Taipei, I will visit you soon.
Film-wise, typical Taiwanese movie with its "cold jokes" and dreamy plot.
So-So.

Dream Home (2010) - Wai Do Lei Ya Yat Hou (Victoria #1)
Dream Home (2010) - Pang Ho Cheong (D)Josie Ho, Eason Chan, Derek Tsang, Lawrence Chou, Yip Shuen, Juno Mak, Wong Ching
NOTE : Not suitable for pregnant ladies and those who can't take on-your-face violent scenes.
I now understand why when the movie was shown in one of the smaller film festival (in Italy if I am not wrong....), one of the audience, a middle-aged uncle had a heart-attack. Of course, the whole premise of the film is its gore scenes but being a movie by Pang, it's not just some gore scenes galore.At the same time, you know it's Josie's vehicle when she produce the movie herself. Too bad she lost Best Actress to Carina Lau but she will get it one day though it might not be the best deserved role (just like Carina).
Pang is one of the new directors who in a way offered some hope to the deteriorating HK cinema. His other feature, Love in A Puff, which is TOTALLY different from this; was a rare gem that came out of the HK cinema in the recent years. I REALLY hope the sequel of Love in A Puff will be free of the malaise that plague HK movies recently; being "mainland-ised".
