Hey!
Before I begin, might I wish everyone all the best for their upcoming exams. Remember not to get to stressed out (alright that might seem unrealistic)
NOW!!
Check the date NOW!
If the date on which you are reading this post is before 26 June 2009 and you are in year 12 at Ruse, close this window/tab NOW NOW NOW! You are clearly pro-crap-stinating xD. Seriously.
If not read on.
One of Stephen Chau/Chow's best movies. Fight back to school 2 (逃學威龍 2). Here's a bit below (for non-cantos the subtitles are just as good).
Pretty much what happens is that a police officer in the Hong Kong equivalent of SWAT, gets fully demoted to traffic duty and rage quits. But then he discovers a terrorist plot to blow up a school and he goes undercover with his homies from the previous movie to foil their plot.
Now hopefully I don't give too much away. I recommend you watch the movie. SO extremely funny!
Remember! No more procrastination during this period!!! xD
Good luck everyone.
AUF WIEDERSEHEN!

The City of Glass
Greetings,
As the title suggests, I would like to recommend an excellent book (or 'text'). For those of you who have read my profile (if not do so now!!! xD) you will find that under 'favorite books' (<- the spelling is deliberate) it says "City of Glass", part of the New York Trilogy.
Synopsis! A mysterious phone call (like myself HAHA) leads a writer of detective fiction to embark on a case more bizarre than any that he has thought of. (which is saying something because I suppose if you write detective/crime fiction you would have to be creative enough to dream up weird situations to begin with, right?)
Now, I didn't spoil the story. I simply paraphrased the blurb, so I just saved you some reading xD.
While ostensibly presented as some form of a detective fiction, once you peel away the surface you will find that it is an interesting exploration of identity and ambiguity, characteristic of postmodernism (PoMo). Naturally, this would be important for those who have an interest in PoMo. For those of us who have a somewhat forced interest (e.g. Ext 1 Eng doers) this is also relevant. I think that there are many different ways you can interpret this, and there's no 'wrong' way. A bit like Citizen Kane where the deep focus lets you pick what you want to see.
I have also reviewed my chatbox and Mysterious Stranger 02, you are such a hilarious character. I shall not quote his lines here, examine the chatbox and see for yourself! I almost literally laughed for all of that afternoon.
Oh, and for those who were wondering why I was laughing my head off in Jazz, it's because Mr. Chris Au was being the most hilarious person ever! Part of the reason was the super exaggerated facial expressions we exchanged xD
Enough for today!
Gut bye
