I actually spent some of my hard-earned cash to watch High School Musical 3: Senior Year last Sunday. It was okay, I suppose. The plot was rather teen-flick generic, but it had a lot of energy and atmosphere. The songs were better than HSM2. The ticket+snacks meant I was broke for the rest of the week. : D I bought a large fruit tart for me and YY to eat during lunch on Friday, though. Maybe every Friday I will buy a cake haha.
I’ve eaten a lot today. I had a roast dinner for lunch. Then my sister called me to go to eat Japanese food, so I had that. I had this really nice okayu. Okayu is basically this sort of rice porridge, called congee. We have in China as well, but okayu is a lot thicker than the Chinese variant. I can never get fed up of Japanese food. My parents went to a Buddhist festival earlier, so they brought me back noodles, which I’m devouring now. I’m going to wake up obese.

Today was London Film Festival NUMBER 2 VER.~ I saw a Korean film called Night and Day. It was okay. It’s about some man on the run from the Korean police because he smoked some marijuana, so he goes to Paris. I didn’t really like the direction. The camera kept zooming in and out, usually to focus on something that had no relevance to the plot whatsoever. The camera kept panning as well, which was just really disorientating. There were a few scenes that were meant to be his dreams, but you couldn’t tell until it cut back to reality. There was a romance sub-plot to the film which lacked any sort of chemistry.
I want to see another Korean film at the London Korean Film Festival called Milky Way Liberation Front, which is a film about indie filmmaking. It looks really interesting, but I just don’t have the time to see it. D:
Hot dancing~

I went to the London Film Festival on Friday. It was…interesting. I went to some educational talk with this San Francisco director called Nathaniel Dorsky (I hadn’t heard of him ‘til I went). He makes experimental art films. Wikipedia describes him as a “Buddhist film-maker.” I don’t really know what to think of his work. Half the time I think it’s pretentious art films. Half the time I think it’s beautiful and thought-provoking. We watched two of his short films. The first one was called Sarabande (I think it’s called this; I don’t have the sheet handy). I should mention that all his films were silent. I thought that there was a backing track of wind noises, but that turned out to be the air conditioning. All it really was is long shots of nature and vague objects (like close-up of moving cars and reflections). I didn’t really connect with what was being shown to me. The second film was Winter. It was about the winter season in San Francisco, where it’s the rainy season. I felt I could connect to this film more, as it was more….grounded. After the showing, I ended up getting lunch with Annie, who was also on the trip where I demonstrated my taxi driver directional skills. I know London too well haha.
I have a lot of work of work to be getting on with during the half-term, but instead, it looks like I’ll be going out loads. Maybe I should use my time well. XD
So hot new track by BoA~!

Holy crap, now I’m 18. Everyone, please buy me anti-aging cream~
The trip to Parliament was so lol. For one of our tasks, we had to walk around Parliament Square and look at the statues and buildings, so we could fill in this sheet. Well, we started to do it but it was raining, so we all stopped. We ended up at the arcade, playing on the bumper cars. It was so awesome. Parliament was good, too. It’s really interesting inside. Although, I got the feeling that I’ve been there before. I’m not sure if I have, though.
Two of my language classes that I signed up to started. Mandarin is nice. It’s fairly easy for me, as I can read the characters. Pronouncing is so-so, I suppose. I’m not sure if my pronunciation is good, but I suppose once I get used to the tones, I’ll be more comfortable. I mean, I do speak a language that has 9 tones. XD Japanese is great. It’s really fun. It’s harder than Mandarin, as I’m not used to the grammar. I mean, I accidentally said that I was called called Jennie and was English.
Wonder Girls released their new song, called Nobody. I think I prefer the teaser version of the song, but the dance version is nice too. I really like the music video. Although, the toilet humour is a little…weird. They’re really pretty in it.
Kumi Koda’s TABOO is so awesome. I would link to a video, if Avex weren’t stamping out its existence on the Internet. She’s such a slut in it, though. XD I mean, she gets licked in places that I didn’t even know existed in parts of it. I wonder what the average Japanese think of the video. Men are probably vigorously masturbating to it.
