Kitano Takeshi (北野武)'s Movie

I watched this 1996 movie directed by Kitano Takeshi called "Kids Return" (キッズ・リターン) (壞孩子的天空) tonight. What an excellent movie! Definitely check it out!

Read the story in Chinese: here

愛的發聲練習

There are good looking people in this Taiwanese movie, but that's about it.
The story lacks any development and is simply a desperate attempt to concoct something out of all the ingredients of so-called love.

Cute thing

I was looking for a good tea pot and saw this cute little silicone-made tea infuser.

Price £9.00

BTW, I lost my point-and-shoot camera :-( so no more random shots for a while...

JAL YUZU/ゆず

都說JAL的YUZU很好喝，不知道大家嘗過沒？
I think I've only flew on JAL once because their tickets are usually more expensive than other airlines. Now that they have declared bankruptcy, I think it's even more unlikely I will be flying with them. Do they sell this in Japanese supermarkets or combinis?

Our neighbor building on work campus on a cold winter night back in December, 2009. The fountain no longer has water to save on operating costs. Only the buildings receiving foreign visitors still have an operating fountain...

I love fountains...

かもめ食堂 - Kamome Shokudou

Finally saw this movie!! A clean, quiet, light movie with 3 women crossing paths in Finland. Some people might feel this movie is like a breath of fresh air. Some people might be constantly bugged by the question of how she can sustain the business ... But for someone living in California, the life style is not too different from what's portrayed making it tough to like or dislike this movie. It just sort of serves as a nice reminder that we are living the way many people are striving for and should be contented.

Another lovely chandelier

This is an interesting wedding venue (in Minnesota) with the chandelier as the center piece, contrasting with the rustic feel of the place and doing a wonderful job of glamming it up.

《ヴィヨンの妻～桜桃とタンポポ～》

《維榮之妻—櫻桃與蒲公英》
This is the Japanese movie I am most looking forward to right now ...
Big cast: 松隆子, 淺野忠信, 妻夫木聰, 廣末涼子, 堤真一
Incredible story: (spoiler)

《百萬円と苦虫女》

Very good movie!! Highly recommend it!

《非诚勿扰》

Finally saw this movie. Like the story and the dialogues, even though I'm not convinced the two will end up together and be happy. Looking forward to the sequel that will come out around end of this year.

《明明》

一部大多數人都說很無聊， 太做作的爛片，
我卻覺得有點東方Kill Bill 的味道，看得十分投入，一點也不覺悶，還蠻好看的！
可能是因為喜歡看周迅，喜歡她跟楊佑寧的一段，喜歡下雪下大雨的場面。。。
故事大至上還可以喔，我想我可能還會重看呢！ ：）
但切記一定要看國語原聲版（粵語版配音配得一塌糊塗，簡直沒辨法看下去！！）

The Perfect Work Space

Instead of sitting in a cubicle or inside a lab, I would rather sit in a work space like this all day long. It's absolutely ideal for all sort of purposes; cooking, baking, reading, computer work, photography, planting, painting, activities with kids ... you name it.
