I have to admit that I did fall asleep at a certain point.
The presence of Ryoko Hirosue certainly keeps me going throughout the movie. Seems like she has outgrown her Beach Boys days.
Oh. The part where the scenes switching at the protagonist cleaning the coprse and playing his cello on the hill is pretty impressive. Not mentioning the breast-grabbing portion.
Not the best. But it’s still worth the money.

This is what’s causing all the hype in the office now.
‘Latent tuberculosis is where a patient is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but does not have active tuberculosis disease. Patients with latent tuberculosis are not infectious, and it is not possible to get TB from someone with latent tuberculosis. The main risk is that approximately 10% of these patients will go on to develop active tuberculosis at a later stage of their life.’
- Taken from Wikipedia
I really thought my mask-wearing days could go on for days. Only till my dear colleagues Charlene and Angeline to tell the nurse at the Tuberculosis Control Unit. The nurse called to find out if I was depressed and stressed that I am infectious so there’s no need to wear a mask.
Damn, the mask is only to show my unhappiness towards this issue. Subtle protest.
Anyway, I will be on INH for 6 months.
A pill a day, keeps the TB viruses away..

Are the police going to question the Prof who got stabbed?
You don’t really carry a kitchen knife around if you don’t have the intent to hurt or kill.
Now.. what causes the intent?
Just the scholarship?
That poor guy certainly deserves something more than what’s published on the papers.

“What’ve you done wrong?’
“I am a Jew.’
These two sentences are deeply embedded into my thoughts since yesterday.
Have been watching too much of these ‘Herr Hilter’ movies recently.
Like the recent ‘Valkyrie’

And of course, the all-time Spielberg’s classic – Schindler’s List. A true story about Oskar Schindler, a German industrialist who saved the lives of 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust.

Imagine no country, no religion.. the world might be a better place.

自己还蛮欣赏五月天的阿信.
似乎跟他的性格非常相似.
心中永远住着一个小孩. 熟称kidult吧.
也跟他一样. 超龟毛.
无敌的龟毛.
其实也不是龟毛啦,
只希望能在自己能掌控的范围内,
做到最好,最完美的程度
来说服自己罢了
真的
