In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.


Me in white shirt.

More than one month without a post! Yikes. Much has happened. I've been so busy. So, so busy. This is what happens at the end of every year, I guess. It happens. Haha. Well, then.

What's been happening?

School work. Lots of stuff to do. 2 video jobs, one of which was lost. First time I won a shiai in kendo.

I hate to admit it, but my Mac broke down after two years. I'm using a computer in an internet cafe off Bourke Street right now while my Mac is at the workshop. This is somewhat mortifying. Supposed to hand in my last assignments next week.

I didn't get into film school. Too bad. I really wanted to go. I was depressed for a few days. But on the positive side, it's a kind of force reboot for me to think what I will do in the next one year or so. I won't go into the possibilities here. The future is pretty much a question mark because I haven't decided. Somehow, it seems that I simply want to wait out a decision for the moment, much to the chagrin of my friends and family. Even to me, the next few years are a mystery. It seems that the longer I wait to decide what to do, the possibility of staying in Melbourne becomes smaller and smaller.

I recently watched Wong Kar-Wai's 2046. I don't know if a Cantonese version exists, but I thought this Mandarin version that I got sounded pretty alright. It was a good movie. The only complain I have, I think, is that it's sort of slow. Surprisingly, there is one bit near the end where I got a little confused. Too bad Maggie Cheung appeared for only a total of about 20 seconds. Would love to see more of her acting. I notice that repeated watching of In the Mood For Love has made a lot of sense in 2046. The prequels Days of Being Wild and ITMFL could be hold its own as standalone pieces. 2046, however, would appear somewhat convoluted if the prequels have not been watched.

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.
