Tuesdays

What a way to waste away my free Tuesday. So apparently I emptied out Tuesdays on my timetable since I didn't have any lectures, in hope that I'll have more time to crash out at home/study/sleep. I'm taking modules I'm totally unfamiliar with this semester (NM2216 Introduction to Interactive Media Design, NM2208 Principles of Visual Communication, NM3204 E-Learning, NM3215 Advertising Strategies, JS2224 Japan and Singapore), so I'm totally counting on my lucky stars this time. I hope that putting in extra effort will mean a much better grade than I scored last semester.




Oh, and does anyone know that Nohara-san's back in Japan? He was the Japanese tourist who got stranded at the Mexico Airport last September, and became an instant 'star' there, having stayed there for a period of three months. I thought it was pretty cute.

Red Cliff 2 - Couldn't blame the ratings for falling (5.0 for Part I to 3.5 for Part II). For the non-Red Cliff viewer, it's a horribly draggy war movie with gunks of fake blood, Albino pigeons flapping around and a bad actress. To quote Jack's buddy Gordon, it was a “又長又臭的電影”("Long and smelly"). Haha. I felt pretty cheated when the sequel wasn't shown on the proposed September date last year, but the wait was worth it; at least I didn't have as high an expectation for Part II than Part I. For those who'll love to have a piece of the disappointment, go for the GV Red Cliff Movie Marathon. Just get those water cushions ready for the 300-minute ride.

And I feel bad for bangseh-ing the auditions today. One for abandoning the judging panel, and another for giving up on Yuching's song. I just thought it wasn't something I was capable of carrying off today (not even smoking through) with the abhorrent lump in my throat. Plus the lyrics were woven so thickly together, it's impossible to get it done in one breath. Good for recording, bad for 'live' performance. Just my frankest comments.
