WAH! Miracles DO EXIST! my computer miraculously healed itself! I had this faint hope just now that when i turned it on i would see ian thrope and i did! Instead of the ugly blue screen that says ‘your hd cannot be found’. Thank you Thank you Thank you! *muah* love you, whoever performed this miracle.


—————————————————————————–


i busted my computer; i dripped water on it because i washed my hair and now the harddrive is burnt.


Devastated.


Shit my warrenty expired.


But then and again, the main use of my computer is for ICQ/MSN/downloading… less for hw because very little of my hw is done on computer… so i guess its good in this week of prelims where i just have to plough through studying without distractions…


but still devastating. Deem suen?

Caught in Double-Cross Fire The good cop – bad cop scenario is given a dizzying, dazzling twist in Hong Kong’s Infernal Affairs

Monday, Sep. 20, 2004
An undercover cop worms his way into a powerful Mob. A mobster joins the police force and rises quickly through the ranks. Each man knows there’s an infiltrator in the other group, but neither knows who the rogue agent is. One thing they do know: if their identities are revealed, one of them will die.


The premise of Infernal Affairs is so simple and so suggestive, it’s amazing there haven’t been a dozen movies like it. Soon there will be. This superbly gnarly Hong Kong thriller, a hit throughout East Asia, is to be remade in Boston as The Departed, with Martin Scorsese directing Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon as the two moles. But why wait for the Hollywood version? The original, now in U.S. theaters, is just about perfect.


For three years, undercover cop Yan (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) has worked for Mob lord Sam (Eric Tsang). Sam’s plant in the Hong Kong Triad Police Bureau is Ming (Andy Lau), whose commander, Wong (Anthony Wong), has been after Sam for most of his career. When the cops try to bust one of Sam’s drug deals, both sides realize they are internally compromised. Yan and Ming must walk a fine line, getting information to their true bosses while hiding their own identities from their duped colleagues. Sometimes the only way to achieve that is by killing an ally.


As if all that weren’t plot enough ?and it’s plenty ?the script by Alan Mak and Felix Chong gives Ming a mystery-novelist wife (Sammi Cheng) and Yan a pretty shrink (Kelly Chen), an ex-girlfriend and a young daughter. At the center, though, is the wary dance of Yan and Ming, each man serving two masters, each character luring the viewer to sympathize with his charade and hope that somehow both can survive. Leung, who played the warrior-lover in Hero, and Lau, Hong Kong’s top pop star and movie magnet, are terrific as smart men, ruthlessly loyal, feeling the nooses tighten and trying not to make the small mistakes that could prove fatal.


Within a year of its 2002 release, the film, directed by Andrew Lau (no relation to Andy) and Mak, had spawned a prequel and a sequel that underlined its similarity to the Godfather films. (The Infernal Affairs trilogy will be shown Oct. 10 as part of the New York Film Festival.) But the first is the best, the densest, the most tightly coiled. Sam’s drug deal and the cops’ tracking of it make for a beautifully orchestrated 20 min. set piece. The camera is ever on the prowl, but discreetly, observantly, like a cat burglar casing his victim’s digs. Little editing ruses ?a second or two of slow motion, say, to catch an actor’s anguished face ?heighten the intensity.


The relentless pace of Infernal Affairs, briskly spinning a story of two men on a collision course with their principles, offers lessons for Hollywood. This is how movies can move. This is how mature an action movie can be.


Haha… SAO…

My demanding bed



After already buying a skirt for my bed, it was still greatly dissatisfied and complained to me that its friend, my comforter, was white and naked and bare, so the bed begged me to buy some clothes for it. 


*sigh, beds nowadays, they just want so much don’t they? Never satisfied with what they have already… i still remeber the days when all they had was their mattress and nothing else. What is my bed going to ask for next time? a Sham? New pillowcases? New Pillows? A bed post? (BTW, i think that is a high possibility… so i’m already looking for some free alternative to satisfied this desire before my bed asks me to spend $9.99 on bed posts….)



See, don’t you just feel/hear it calling out to you that it needs a bed post? *sigh,  i don’t know how long i’ll be able to last hearing it cry like this.


Yeh, so i bought a cover for my blanket, Its the same one as in the Urban Outtfitters catalog, but it was cheaper off ebay (it was NWT, dunno why neh?) so i bought it off there… but still it was very expensive, i don’t know why quilt covers, or duvets as they call it here, are so expensive grrr…. Damn it i spend more on clothes for my bed than clothes for me….


Yah and i also bought a backpack from TJmax yesterday because i found that you can’t survive college without a small backpack (I left mine in HK, for some stupid reason…) and of course, while i was there, there was a hoodie that was irresistably calling out to me, telling me to take it home, so being the nice girl that i am, of course i did….


So yah…i think i’m turning into a shoppaholic. Which means the more i should spend less time shopping and more time studying, so i can make $$$ to fulful the needs of my furniture and closet. They are SOOO picky i swear. Funny how being in the middle of nowhere enhances your desire to shop online…, i never have the need to do this in Hong Kong….?


me is broke… me need to save up… no more shopping, for some time… … hopefully.
