    关于墨攻

              考试完了要勤快一点更新才是好孩子,所以我又来了。

          这两天就好好休息,补充一下睡眠,做好吃得犒劳自己。上街买给朋友的圣诞礼物,和爸爸妈妈数小时地聊SKYPE到口干为止!

          看我没有看完的第四季的24小时,觉得JACK BAUER的爱国情怀到一种unbelieveable的境界!喜欢他处事时候的突破常规和冷静镇定,但是毕竟是个人,只要是人就有私心,也许因为妻子不在了,牵挂少了很多,所以完成任务时候总是抛开自己利益,把国家安全放在第一位,但是编剧也把他弄得太惨了点,让我觉得这样得无私难以置信。

          看了第二遍的墨攻,很喜欢的,虽然ANDY很少演这么SERIOUS的角色,依然把握得很好,很到位,同意Wisely同学说得感觉扮相和时代有些许不符,但是也许他是为了突出革离的作风行为与众不同,而墨家思想在当时也与社会主流格格不入吧。希望ANDY可以多演一点商业味道少点的片子,我反正是爱到死心塌地,只要是他露面的我都会看,但是接片的时候慎重一点对他的事业肯定会有帮助的。明星太有个人风格也不是好事,不管他怎么努力,你都无法忘记他是刘德华,一直无法以角色本身的角度去评判他的演技。其实我觉得他在无间3里面的表现比无间1还要好的,特别是他坐在OFFICE里面用监视器观察外面的情况时候露出的表情和眼神,让我觉得绝了!还要后面精神分裂之后的表现入戏之深让我觉得这个角色当时真是在极其渴望做个好人却无法如愿的矛盾境地下发生错觉了。

               Ok,说回墨攻吧,有一些很IMPRESSIVE的画面:

           场景一: 那些思想家总是悲天悯人,不是说他们没有才华,他们才高八斗,学富五车;也不是说他们没有说服力,少主刚开始对他有偏见后来不是也心悦诚服了吗?也许应该说他生不逢时,他考虑的东西太多,却没有想到自己,太博爱而忘记每个人都需要有只属于自己的爱人,所以范冰冰演的角色企图脱衫与他亲热被拒绝之后幽幽地说了句:墨家提供兼爱,你应该懂爱的,应该懂。可是好像这样善良的人在电影里总是没有好结局,BAUER没了妻子,被恐怖分子挟持严酷的刑罚让你怀疑美国的民主自由真的只在表面。革离也是,终于放下自己的障碍回来找心爱的女子,却碰上她失声还几乎被水淹没,临死的时候死在他怀里,却欠他一句我爱你。

           场景二:两人去赵军军营查探军情,却被发现,被人追杀,一路狂奔到悬崖峭壁,情非得已只好停下。因为范说自己不识水性,革离犹豫要不要跳,但是赵兵已经近在眼前,没想到范丢下一句:你要救我!”就义无反顾地跳下悬崖。当时心里一触动,想:女人就是需要这样一个给你安全感得男人,及时前方是万丈深渊,后面是千军万马,只要他在身旁,你就不会害怕,不会绝望,有勇气面对一切阻碍。他可以不用那么帅,不用那么有才华,不用高官厚禄,但是起码让你绝得安全,也许有人说我又不切实际了,一个丑陋得弱智得失业的贫困潦倒的人能给你安全感吗?不要走极端呀,不帅就等于丑吗?不富有就一定穷到流浪街头吗?我就是为了强调安全感的重要性嘛。

           场景三:革离为了救被一个奴隶挟持的小孩,就告诉奴隶说只要你放下他我保证他们不会伤害你。奴隶相信了,放下小孩那一刻就被梁兵攻击,拳打脚踢,革离见状立刻跳下围栏,用自己的身体保护奴隶以实现自己的承诺。只是一个奴隶啊,是死是活与你何干呢,一诺千金很多时候都会打动你的心灵。

                 场景四:墨家原本不肯派人来救梁城的,革离只身前来,想尽一切办法,尽然被昏庸的梁王认为是想要谋反,想杀害他。少主出现,假装要亲手替父王报仇,实际却是给他机会让他把自己当作人质,借机逃跑。分别时候甚至想要从此和革离浪迹天涯,传播墨家的和平思想。刚来的时候,少主多么不屑革离的呀,最终还是被他的才华,谋略,已经善良的心所感动。人就是这样,比你强一点的你总是会嫉妒,比你强很多让你觉得他高高在上,让你佩服得五体投地了你自然就没有话说了。

                 总之是部很不错的电影,画面也OK壮观,推荐大家看,声音效果当然不如十面埋伏,但是老谋子对画面颜色声效的挑剔有时候让我觉得喧宾夺主,ANYWAY也许是情节不好用其他来弥补也说不定呢。哈哈。

    关于今年生日

        终于结束了所有FINAL, 有时间来整理最近拍的照片,写一些感谢的话。

        今年收到的生日祝福空前之多,谢谢每一个对我说生日快乐的人!

        谢谢爸爸妈妈在早上七点半就越洋打电话给我说生日快乐,前一秒钟我才开机,默契真是没有话说。

        感谢小米,来美国后认识的最好的朋友,亲手做了一个蛋糕给我!!真感动,上面还有我的名字呢!

        感谢Paolo给我办了一个awesomepartyThanks so much, I really appreciate it! 非常HIGH, 我还不小心让生日蛋糕上的蜡烛烧焦了我一撮头发,只好剪掉了。大家喝酒跳舞唱歌吃蛋糕聊天照相。对了,Paolo是意大利人,我们一起去YOSEMITE NP的。人很nice的!感谢Antonio给大家煮了PASTA, 真正made by Italian的噢!期间有个很讽刺的笑话,来了几个特别活跃的伊朗人,其中一个让Antonio把刀架在他脖子上,然后大吼:tell me, who are terrorists? Italian or Iranian?? Haha, so ironical! Antonio也是一个特别好玩的人,意大利口音超重,他说keep in touch, 听起来是 Geeb ing douth。他告诉我他来之前没怎么学英语,所以当时一起去REDWOODS NP的时候问我,Nov.23为什么要读成twenty-third而不是twenty three?晕死我了!意大利人和法国人一样见面和告别会KISS 脸的。因为熟了,我也不介意亲就亲吧,又不会少块肉。那天PARTY也来了一个之前不认识的意大利人,做完自我介绍就亲了下脸,Antonio又说:you see only Italian people kiss you, Iranians don`t. Italian ppl are the kindest! 我和他和Paolo照相的时候我说,now, Icy with 2 Italians. Antonio开玩笑说:I know this is your dream to take pics with 2 Italians, FAINT! 临走的时候我说我要走了太困了,他又说: how can you leave me without kisses? 只好又亲了一次,毕竟不是自己文化的一部分,如果他不提醒我根本想不起来。另外因为是21号生日,又在美国,所以喝了一点酒意思一下,I am not a big fan of alcohol or wine, no excited feeling.

        感谢破费陪馋嘴的Icy去吃SUSHI BUFFET的所有朋友:Hector, Michelle, Koen, Paolo, Tess, Ming, Emily, Qin Xuan, Sami, Rice, Veronica, Antonio.我因此又得到了另外一样FANTASTIC的生日礼物:一个有着不同语言版本说的生日祝福的VIDEO!有法语,韩语,意大利语,汉语,西班牙语,葡萄牙语英语,印尼语!SO COOL! 不知道怎么样可以弄上来,不然可以让你们欣赏一下!

        感谢HKU的朋友帮Eileen farewell,也帮我庆祝生日,一起去吃了PIZZA,不错不错!还有DICKSON送的毕业小玩偶,祝愿我早日毕业吧。吃饭的时候我深感庆幸自己会说广东话,全桌子的人就我是普通话为母语,但是依然可以顺畅沟通。所以不要觉得需要学另外一种语言麻烦或者没有用就懒得学,会了多好呀!

    你看看我过一个生日庆祝了三次,因为时差差一天,所以我以中国生日美国生日为名宣称自己两个生日,时差真是好东西!不过就在FINAL前的那个星期还在疯,累的我都不行了,却HAPPY 得不得了!!!

        还有MaggieHK 给我寄来带有ANDY照片得明信片,喜欢得不得了,Icy其实是致命得花痴!

    再提一下晓丹石林的VIDEO,因为看得时候真的都哭出来了,我当时回信还说来着:有这样的朋友,做梦都会笑,走路都会跳,没男朋友死不了,心情好得呱呱叫!

            Crista的特别礼物大概还在路上,很期待。这个可爱的孩子,不停地在我的FACEBOOKMSN上面写GMT-8,+8生日快乐。有了你我每一分每一秒都很快乐

        还有发邮件贺卡或者在space or face book上面留言道祝福的粲粲,迪娜(最早的,提早半个月就发了,哈哈),林涛,Wisely, 菁菁, 林丹,邓宁,吕晨,胡力周,柯毅,Lauranne, Jenny, Josephin, Lindsay, Wang qian, Vincent, Yuru, 谢谢谢谢啦!希望没有遗漏谁。

    Frustrated, Upset and Stressed out

    Famous saying:
          In the final period, you lose not only gd mood but also money, you gain not only knowledge but also weight!!
                                                                          ------by Icy
         My exchange life without taking the finals into account was awesome!!
         but when it comes to final, it sucks!!!
         I had 2 finals today, micro in the morning, jap in the afternoon.
         The grading policy for micro is that 2-midterms is equal to 1 final. so basically the prof doesn`t give u a strong enough incentive to take the final if  you did well for both the midterms. I am not satisfied with the midterms, so i decided to give myself one more chance.
    But the final was much more than my expectation,(well, possibly because i pretty much slacked off after the mid-terms), anyway i am sure i couldn`t do better than the midterms, which means that i wasted my time reviewing for it last night and sitting for exam this morning.
    the even worth thing is after finishing this disappointing exam, my mood was negatively affected, and as a result, my performance for jap final sucked again!!!!
         The teacher asked us to fill in the blanks for a passage which is exactly the same as the one in the textbook, 10 blanks, i got half of them wrong, damn it!!!!
    so the old saying: "tian dao chou qin" is correct, especially for the guys like ME, who don`t live on intelligence!
         Tonight the kind TA for Money&banking arranged a REVIEW section for us.
    some of the materials he covered sounds very fresh for me!!! i am serious!!! i didn`t open the book after the midterms for this course, even though i only got a little- higher-than-average score for it. And i am kinda too lazy to read the notes after lectures too(well, partly coz this prof`s notes are rather messy!!) so.......
    upset about the finals!
          I went to a Asian food mart after the exams, and bought myself A box of peatut butter candy, 2 packs of sushi and the Ding Dang cat`s favourite muffin(forgot the name). the sweet food are the only thing that cheers me up at this moment!!! and it also made me think of that famous saying on the top!
          Hope the micro prof can be generous when grading, HEY, man, your wife is from China too, please!!!!
          Hope the jap prof can be sweet when grading, coz this damned language course really cost me much time!!

    I hate quarter system!!!

          Quarter system is annoying, 10 weeks in total, so short and fast!!!
          I just finished 2 midterms last week, all of my finals will come within next week!!! crazy crazy!!!
          I am sick now, i need rest and sleep!!!
       
          No idea what the cooks in on-campus canteen are doing!!!! I guess it is pretty difficult to make so crappppy food!!! The chances of finding something tasty there are as low as running into a dinosaur outside of your house right now!!!! I feel like i am eatting shits!!!! i miss dim-sum so much!!!!
     
          So touched by the birthday gifts from shi lin and xiao dan!!!! I really really really love them!!!!! Soooooo sweet!!!!Lucky Icy is always spoiled by her super nice friends.
     
          ok, stop here, work on my homework due tomorrow, i become a last-minute guy!!!

    Y2 on exchange

            My honey Crista and Kallen will go back to HK soon
           I still have 6 months.
           Y2 on exchange is really lucky, i don`t feel that much pressure, seriouly, although the homework here is much more than that of HKU, but i still get chances to visit so many places almost every weekend. and the cool thing is I don`t feel guilty to skip classes, to delay the homework till the last minute, to spend whole nights chatting with friends doing nothing.
           He said i am unbelievable that i can visit so many places during a single year!~ I know, i know i will work like a dog again in my final year, so please, please, please let me completely enjoy my life this year in the U.S.!
       p.s.  One of my best male friends, who is suffering a break between him and his girlfriend, umm, i really think they are a good match, so maybe you just need some time, fingers crossed for you, man, be tough! At least your friend will always be there.
