November...thats fast. The last time I log in was in mid-October..and within a matter of weeks, November comes.
Coming to the end of year 2005 is comforting but sad as well. Comforting because there are too many things happening in this year and I hoped that next year would be a better year instead. Alittle sad because this year is too eventful and provided me with so many good and sad memories. In a way, I hate to say goodbye to it, because who knows, I may begin to forget those happenings in the future. Well, I think I will not...this year have truly been impactful and I will remember the year 2005 clearly.
Anyway, I haven't been blogging because I was kinda busy slacking away..hahah...and of course, I have started writing my study notes for my exams in mid November. Nothing exciting to report for the moment~ ^_^ I think I will take 2 weeks hiatus from Internet because it is TOTALLY distracting me~ Y__Y''
Anyway, been listening to many songs from Lush 99.5FM. Come on, it wasn't that bad...and the music definitely sooths my soul~ And you can just melt into your chair, or on the bed if you just enjoy the slow and smooth music~
Requiem gave me two mandarin songs a few days ago and I am playing them right now. The first is Jay Chou's song from his new album and the second is a song from the Taiwanese drama Mars. Both sounded sad but I definitely prefer Jay Chou's.
Strangely, I have been listening to songs sung by male singers and the songs are mostly about their partner leaving them. Totally ironic...why am I listening to such songs..I remembered when I was about to break up with my ex, I was in love with Jie Kou by Jay Chou. And I sang Zhen Shi by A*mei while I was karaoke-ing..I don't why I actually listen to such songs...-___-''
Anyway, I caught the movie Sympathy for Lady Vengeance on Monday. Was supposed to go with Xiaobai but when we got there, the ticket attendant refused to close one eye just because XB is not 18 years old yet (SHE'S 17!! T_T) XB told me to go ahead and I went to catch it while she hung at the library.
The movie tells a tale of a woman who was involved in a kidnapping and when her partner kills the kid, he forced her to confess by kidnapping her baby. Jailed for 13 years in prison, she schemed and plotted her revenge. In the meantime, she helped many comrades in prison and because of that, they are willing to help her with her plans. She came out, donning red eyeshadow and started working in a bakery shop. Once she was out, she started to implement her plans slowly and carefully. Well, I shall not spoil the plot out, but just for your info, the bad man died in the end.
The woman was played by Lee Yeong-ae, who was the star of the hottest Korean drama epic, Jewel in the Palace (or Dae Jang Geum). Unlike her kind and sweet role in the drama serial, her role for the movie is darker, crazier and scarier. She really portrayed the woman (Lee Geum-ja)'s character well; her frustrations, her sinister side, her longing for her daughter, her crazy moments...everything.
The director, Park Chan-wook directed a beautiful and artistic movie out. Even though the show has lots of bloody moments, he does it so beautifully and hidden that you won't feel the scenes revolting. In the movie, sarcastic and twisted humor are also used so even serious scenes can be amusing as well.
Sympathy for Lady Vengeance is the last of his trilogy movies. His first two vengeance movies (Old Boy and Sympathy for Mr Vengeance)are darker and bloodier. For Lady Vengeance, the direction was towards a more feminine and beautiful shot of anger and vengeance. It is definitely a must watch~ ^_^ For 18 and above only though~ But, take the movie as a pinch of salt...
Revenge as a redemption is never the solution.
