I heard it on the bus to U-town the other day and somehow, it seemed much nicer than the few times I listened to it on my desktop or mp3 player.
Now I like the way it swells up and envelopes. There’s no need to continue when its not ideal, or that may be what I would like to think. But you can’t change the fact that the world is just like that.
My room’s done!! Actually it was done a while ago but I was just too lazy to do any posts so yup, just for the sake of continuity from the last post. So now, there’s 2 new big wardrobes in my room, along with my old computer desk and 3 remaining bookshelves/cupboards from my old room. Its much neater, cleared of all the junk/storage stuff that doesn’t belong to me or my brother, and there’s this empty gap along one of the wall reserved for a TV (not sure when it will happen). As for the colours, the paint didn’t turn out quite what I had expected but I guess its okay, just a little bit too much of blue around. Overall, I think I’m quite happy with the look of my new room, although there’s still not much motivation for me to spend more time in my room, cause the only spot for me to laze around is on my bed, and it isn’t all that comfortable or private since its in the middle of the room. But at the very least, now I have a bigger space outside due to my new computer desk haha.
Oh and I got a new phone – samsung nexus S. Although its not the latest, the biggest or the best phone around now, I’m still very happy with it. Or it may just be the initial excitement for the transition to a smart phone with data plan, but will have to pay about $10 more than my previous plan. I think there’s lots I can do with a smartphone but I haven’t really been maximising its usage yet, cause I haven’t been out that often during these few weeks but we will see how when school starts haha.
I watched Norwegian Woods recently but I found it quite difficult to follow the story or the characters actually and it seems like I have forgotten much of the story. But luckily I bought the book a while ago when I saw it on sale in Popular so I will probably read it to refresh my memory before I can make any comparisons or connections between the 2. I think there’s something lacking in the movie but in the first place, Haruki Murakami’s books are pretty much “unfilmable” anyway, unless you put in tons of narration which would defeat the purpose of adapting it into a movie.
醉后决定爱上你 is ending soon – 1 more episode to go! I think it has dragged on long enough so yeah about time for it to end. The middle was a little too draggy when they keep on throwing new and not very necessary arcs into the story, but I like the latest episode because they tie up most of the arcs and characters rather nicely. Halfway though, I started thinking whether this might be the last episode after all but turns out there’s another one next week. And some songs just sound incredibly nice when they’re coupled to shows or scenes that make sense to the viewer, but when you isolate them and listen to them separately, somehow they don’t really seem that impressive. There are some nice moments in the latest episode, with the correct character with the right song at the right stanza. Actually the cut below is really long but I was really more impressed by the scene in the last 2 min of the video with 放了自己 by 魔幻力量 haha.
And I think a drama should be like that. It may be unrealistic in many ways but it should be able to deliver the correct emotions and impact to be a dramatic drama. I think its quite sad to have a drama that’s not dramatic actually, although most people would prefer them to be more realistic haha.
And school’s starting! I ‘m sorry to say but I’m actually quite looking forward to it haha. Seems like quite a lot of people are going for exchange actually, so I will probably not see that many people in school. And I have about 3 modules on my own as well, so its not like I have much time to hang around with people anyway. But as with all fresh starts, you always tend to think they will be the best initially.
