(In the Mood for Love/花樣年華, directed by Wong Kar Wai, 2000)
Maggie Cheung is, without a doubt, the most beautiful Chinese actress I’ve ever laid eyes on.
I got the weirdest sense of deja vu (I’m too lazy to succumb to the pedantic French student in my head and add accents) when I saw the first two minutes of the movie and I swear I’ve never seen it before. I really hate deja vu and I get it all the time. At school, I see people in the exact same positions, with the same facial expressions, hear replicated conversations and terrify myself. The whole premise of deja vu is scary. Do I live in the future, but keep wanting to go back to the past? What’s so good about the past? Really? Nothing that I can remember. What about this movie should trigger something so batshit insane from me anyway?
I probably won’t finish the movie until I get back… but I’ve been meaning to watch Wong Kar Wai’s “informal trilogy” for a while… Maybe it’s just the premise of this trilogy - living in the past, attachment to memory, losing people - that hits so close to home and makes me feel so strange cause I know I have these stupid “issues” with myself and the insanely ordinary events of my life. But I guess that deconstructing myself again can just bloody wait while I go out and have some fun.
SPEND TOO MUCH MONEY IN SYDNEY.
I suck at saving my money. But I swear, it was all on sale! You know me, I’m an asian, I hate spending more than $20 on anything. But oh… it’s not even that much.
But in America… I’ll be spending left right and center. HELP.

LOL I EXPECT TO SEE THESE KIDS IN JOHNNY’S JRS IN ABOUT SIX YEARS TIME.
Seriously though… Did their parents make them do this? Cause I can’t think of any six-ish year old boys who want to learn the lyrics and the entire choreography to a pop song. WHO WOULD DO THIS TO THEIR KIDS?!?!
KAT-TUN: They may be hot, but they are also dorks who try to play a microphone as flute, with a questionable looking, bright pink, mask on. Awesome! :D
QOP DVD = AMAZING. fdkgjshdlfjkgkljsdfh STILL WANT. WANT. WANT.
