THIS DAY IN HISTORY

China: Government Sends Troops to Tiananmen Square (1989)
In April 1989, Chinese students gathered in Tiananmen Square to demand democratic reform. The demonstrators were gradually joined by workers, intellectuals, and civil servants, until over a million people filled the square and martial law was declared. The protesters demanded that the leadership resign, and the government answered, on June 3, with troops and tanks, killing thousands to quell a "counterrevolutionary rebellion." What happened in the aftermath of these events?

blueberry polly cheesecake

2009-03-23T21:48:00.000+08:00

homemade BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE for the 19-year-old Pooollllllyy!
my 2nd baked cheesecake
emily and i spent the whole afternoon for that
but it worths :D
i really think it tastes SOOO NICE hahahahhahaaaaaa

this was the remaining piece loooool

we didn't have a knife so it looked a bit awkward

the 1/3 thick biscuit base is reserved for the birthday girl hahahah

half of the butter goes to the base and the other half in the cheesecake mix

so u can imagine.. mmmmmm ;D

by the way the photos of the whole cake was taken on the night we baked it

so.... it looked a bit too watery...
but it was definitely dryer and looked nicer this morning heheeee

Slumdog Millionaire. worths an Oscar?

2009-03-14T17:53:00.000+08:00

It's just so over-rated!!!

i'm not suggesting that it's a bad movie(not at all), it's pretty nice
but i don't really think it deserves 8 oscar awards (including Best Movie and Best Director of cox)and all that 'WOW!!!!!!!!! this movie is soooooooooooo GOOD!!!!' comments from everyone around the world (but sure there are still many that aren't like that?)

its intentions are surely good
but really too obvious...
in cantonese i'd say it's 太刻意
everything happens in an order...

it's touching, it's thought-provoking
it allows us to know the poverty and social problem in India (and the rest of the world)
think again, re-value our own life styles and shows us how much better we are than the less fortunates
but there are many more movies that present the same ideas (in a better way?)
(and maybe i have never been upsetted because i'm not rich, i'm not living a luxurious life or blaming for not having enough money to buy stuff so... loooool)

and other than that?

storyline first of all.
yes, a really creative manner to present the life journey of an Indian boy living under poverty by getting him in the 'Who wants to be a Millionaire' game show, answering questions that even high-educated people might not know

but then
isn't everything too predictable?

'Jamal is one question away from winning 20 million rupees.
How did he do it?'
i'd definitely answer 'B. He's lucky.'
in a very unrealistic way...
so may be it would also be 'A. He cheated.'

remove the unrealistic thing, this movie is still so (i can't find the exact word in english...) wot we called in cantonese is '老土'
yeayea by wot he can answer and wot he can't (like the question about the national flag/stuff), it shows that people like Jamal (the poor and neglected) don't even know wot is on / the meaning of the national flag... because they just didn't receice proper education and stuff...
but then do you really have to be so precise that every questions need to have those cliche meanings??
it's just a bit too much for me

i enjoyed the first half part of the movie very much, but it gets worse...
the ending is screwing things up (by 'ending' i don't mean the dance, but the plot's ending)

it ends for the sake of ending

"the fact is
Indian Poverty+ EuropeanAmerican directors=Oscar winning film.
Indian Poverty+ Indian director = shit crap"

don't totally agree with the above statement, but it's true at some points

------------------------------------------
i thought i could type out everything i wanna say this evening, but well... 9am-1pm this morning we were at school for orchestra rehearsal, and 9am-5pm tomorrow... so i guess i better stop here for now... only that i'd quote wot i found on the net and wot i agree with

one more thing... the love between Jamal and Latika just isn't compelling enough... and more in-depth description of their time together is certainly needed... you either give that up, or you present it the best you can, don't leave it half way please...
------------------------------------------

"絕對稱不上係一部差既電影，但是否好睇到什麼百看不厭我就有保留。

綜觀成套戲，前半好睇過後半，原因大概如有網友寫到套戲太過要討好觀眾(he's suggesting that the movie is kind of commercial, always trying to please/satisfy the movie goers, and i really agree with that, although it's low-budget, it's still so commercialize, how sarcastic)，搞到後半未能承接上半的基礎繼續發展，劇情冇新意與驚喜，頗有種無以為繼的感覺，尤其結尾行貨，設計陳腐，對白俗套，我覺得係最大敗筆。另外既然此片以命運為題材，其主軸 – 男女主角相愛是命 (written)的描寫似乎太過則重於男方而忽略於女方的想法，搞到結尾有點兀突，因為一直以來都好像是男主角一廂情願，女主角報恩的心理大於愛他。還有一點，男主角哥哥作為出淤泥而不染的主角的反面，其改變有點太突然，或者多一點描述會更好。"

"橫掃金球,奧斯卡各項大獎.....本來對《一百萬零一夜》既要求自然要高d...但看畢此片...發覺就算以平常心看待,它亦不見得是完美...當然它無可否定地是一部出色的電影.... 問題究竟出於甚麼地方呢???甚麼令它扣分呢??? 大概就是一切合乎情理之中.....缺乏意料之外...............過於計算,非常穩陣...我敢說,9成以上的觀眾都會喜歡...但由於太過"顧及"大多觀眾的需要....因此顯得有點綁手綁腳.....情況與《奇幻逆緣》有點類似.......基本上單看故事大鋼已知道會是一套好戲.... 故事就是窮小子參加百萬富翁...學識不多但贏得最高獎金...自不然會令人覺得作弊云云.... 而整套戲就是圍繞主角為何能夠答中所有問題...由他的成長故事說起,一點一滴還他一個清白.... 成長當中當然有貧窮,失去親人,愛人,被出賣等等劇情......令人感動的場景當然有,而且不少...但由於整套都是以類似"方式"進行...因此到中後段有點乏力.....作者不想將主角神化/不想將主角的遊戲過程輕易化/不想將主角的成長點滴"神奇化".......因此遊戲過程中,一些所謂5歲小孩也應該懂的問題,他卻不懂...主持人"提示"他,他又不受引誘等......當然這使主角更立體更真實....但由於太多的"命中注定".....太"戲劇化".....當兩小時如一...未必有點"搵戲黎做"...當然這種手法絕對能討好絕大多數觀眾... "
--------------------------------------------

watchable definitely.
u'd learn a lot, too much that i just can't type them all here (and i guess 'meanings' are supposed to be found/understood by yourselves, cox everybody feels different things in different ways, only wot touches you is wot you learn)
but then
the movie's just not THAT great
(in terms of educational level it's great heheeee)

and last thing i'd like to say is...
haha... try not to hear/ read critics/ reviews before watching a movie
they also could screw things up...

------------------------------------------------
and thanks label so much :)
thanks for watching and the comment!
(i was gonna reply in msn but then i couldnt find your email address again hahahaha..)

not completely satisfied, but hang on...
we just got to interview Mother's Choice on 13th Feb...
being idle for a month or 2, i guess this is the best i can do
but we really sacrificed a lot... standing on streets and... library's toilet... lol
researching... filming ... contacting the interviewees... making massive phone calls just to get 'sorry we don't have this kind of data', 'you better contact the other department', 'sorry we can't help'
this is wot our gov't does daily

i skipped my sch day for it...
my head exploded for a few times...
cox it was just headache thinking about the whole stuff on my own
wot i learned is... find someone who's really interested in the matter...
and definitely start doing everything asap
no 'procrastination'!

anyway, happy enough getting support from the 2
at least i know u do care

the whole interview we made with MC was approximately 45 mins...
the interview with adoptive parents Mr. and Mrs. Siu might even be longer...
plus many of the videos we taped were not used
we aren't happy with that too
but the documentary's time limit is 8 mins...
please understand our situation...

so here comes our product...
wasn't too happy with youtube...
after converting the video into FLV format...
we had 3 videos each with some problems of its own.. =,=
and quality was bad...
(sorry i'm kind of a perfectionist..)

still, Enjoy!

btw...
i guess...
i just raised my voice a bit for the narration...
i don't understand why no one recognizes...
many are even surprized...

How important it is in life not necessarily to be strong, but to feel strong, to measure yourself at least once

2009-03-01T12:46:00.000+08:00

浪蕩，是一種情懷，一種情操。要有怎樣的因由和動力才使人不顧一切出走?

電影沒有書那麼詳盡，但是仍然有著這種情懷。(如欲更了解主角的一切，極建議看看原著)

物慾名利薰陶得人忘了是非黑白，向上爬的基制使人每日營營役役。每人每日，機械式般生活。主角大概受夠這樣的生活，也受夠了父母的虛偽。結果他以一個全新的身份，離開熟悉的領域，尋找陌生的土地，從而尋找新的自己。

沒有甚麼，比起能做到心靈洗滌更激蕩人心。

“Some people feel like they don't deserve love. They walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past.”

其實主角在訴說的時候，同時也在自我反思。
此片有點像公路電影，他遇上的人個個都貝閱讀性，而每個人都教他更了解，人生應該/可以是怎樣的一回事。
同時，他亦從他人身上重新肯定、認識自己，整個人真真正正成長過來。
真正在身心的層面，都經歷到自己真的活著。

“And I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feel strong. To measure yourself at least once. To find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions. Facing the blind death stone alone, with nothing to help you but your hands and your own head”人生的體會，從來都應該在人世的跌跌碰碰中領會。現世代的人都過分沉溺於努力賺錢的經濟體系中，然而這漸等同了生活素質。結果，久而久之我們對一切都麻木。結果，我們忘了世界的美好。

此電影的前題也是環保紀錄片th hour>的命題。
人們為了追求更好的物質生活，結果拼命地工作，不以為已浪費更多資源。根本無暇欣賞大自然，結果人們忘卻了大自然的美，就任由一己的方便和利益，肆意破壞它。
問題就是我們的思想，一種根深蒂固但錯誤的思想。我們以經濟為上，其餘一切成為次要的附屬品。
人類又以為被滅亡的會是地球，但其實人類才是即將滅亡的動物。
人類在浪費資源，其實犧牲的不過是自己。

只是人類自以為是萬物之靈，又自命不凡，結果肆無忌憚去破壞我們所擁有的。其實，一切未必太遲。

然而，首先要改變的是我們的思想。

“When you want something in life, you just gotta reach out and grab it.”
