In the mood for exams

I guess I do like studying for film exams after all (even if it's not Capuzzo's paper this time). Today I feel like I've just travelled to India, France because I was reading up on Jacques Tati and now I'm in Hong Kong reading about Wong Kar Wai and his films. The more I read the more films I want to watch and then I end up reading all the other films these directors/actors were involved in, then wikipedia about their lives.. which aren't tested. :) Is that considered a distraction?

Soundtrack accompaniment for today's study:

I love this song, cheesy as it is. From the movie Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) (meaning something happens), one of the highest grossing film of its time. It's so happy and funny, I forgot all my worries / stress after watching the movie. Shahrukh Khan is so handsome. I love cheesy Bollywood movies!

From the movie Mon Oncle (1958) directed by Jacques Tati. Gotta love its quirkiness, low tech Mr Hulot struggles with modernity. I read something about director ending up bankrupt to shoot a movie because of the elaborate sets he made. That's a lot of passion and effort put.


Last but not least Chungking Express (1994). Since after watching the movie, its songs have been looping in my head for long while. It has such beautiful textures and colour and cinematography. It's a pity I didn't watch this before I went to HK during September. What a noobcake. Need to catch up on more WKW's movies after the exams.

Okay, enough digression gotta get back to business.

有点热血的一天

今天热血拼到了九把刀的签名!还排了两次队,第二次竟大胆拿出我平常用的笔记本给他签。xD (是希望能每次翻到能激发我一点什么。)
起初排到我了工作人员说不行,只能签九把刀的书,害我失落的很。感谢朋友鼓励我上台后再试一次, 结果得逞了。到了九把刀面前还请他给我个加油,结果给了用功两字。呵呵。超开心。


本应该在家读书迎战考试,竟然像个粉丝跑到Suntec人挤人听演讲,排队拿签名。毕竟看完电影才短短过了5天,认识九把刀也就只有5天,我真还会把握机会。哈。过瘾。

今天认识如此成功的九把刀一点也没有明星距离感地,很爽快地就说签,而且是签到书展关门为止。很坦诚也很现实的大概只为美女签个心形。(妒忌某人:P)有趣的家伙,看读了他的书过后会有什么领悟。(今天买了3本!)但得热血拼搏下星期的考试才行。用功去!

年轻只有一次

看完 “那一年,我们一起追过的女孩”,在回家的路程想了想自己十几二十初的自己到底做了些什么。没有说有多轰轰烈烈,但还是有点什么吧?只是上了大学之后好像少了点疯狂事,每天就想着功课怎么办,不然就在家里看戏,有时和朋友出去。也不是说不好,在课业上也有找到快乐的时候,毕竟是自己理想的课程。

转眼间,都大四了。快毕业了。在想有什么事是学生时代应该做的,但还没完成。
  • 像在电影情节里,被男生这样狂追过。X (纳闷。)
  • 参加学生社团。√( 只不过又是华乐。现在倒是有点后悔没有试试其他社团。现在有点后悔了。还是打个 X 吧。)
  • 去日本。X (从很久很久以前就很想去了,只因为金钱上。。。明年一定要想办法去成。)
  • 有足够美好,精彩大学时段回忆?其实有两个字可以形容大学生活,那就是“熬夜”。一个人努力地把课业做好。
好像有点平淡的大学生涯。其实如果现在要我说出我曾经做过最疯狂的事还真的有点想不出。但是难过,发脾气,害怕,开心,无奈,没耐性,流泪,长大这些都有。想必最精彩的人生阶段只有在青春期。

Edit: Somehow after watching the movie makes me wana do something crazy that I can brag about as the craziest thing I did in life.

When you think too much

Sometimes I wonder if I have a certain cell in me that always dislikes what I'm doing. Sometimes it will say: hey this is a lame idea why are you doing this or omg what shit are you putting yourself through.

This happens when you think too much about your project.

There are also times when I feel like my soul has been pouring out so much in my project that I feel quite empty inside now. *Knocks self. Is there still anything left inside me?

This is what happens when you make your project too personal.


Something I did, but probably not gona show tomorrow.

Panic button Not On

I am so numb to crashing deadlines somehow I lost my sense of panic and anxiety. I need to feel panic again to be productive.
Where is my panic and anxiety button?
Thinking things will be alright too often will not work.
