an old photo

Just took some photos from the old time photos. This is one of them...



My happy and naive childhood, no worry and hurry about work, love, life, etc... Why do we have to grow up? Is there a way that one can choose to have time frozen for his/her most cheerful and carefree moment?

Don't remember where and when this photo was taken. From left to right: brother and sisters - Shengyuan, me, and Shengwen.

movies for my Chinese New Year holidays

Just saw some films and DVDs these days:

- Vipère au poing (2004), a French film which title in Chinese translated as "悲憐赤子心"

- Monsieur Ibrahim et les fleurs du Coran (2003), a French film, Paris in 1960's, the friendship between a Jewish boy and an Arab grocer.

- Alex & Emma (2003): an interesting American love story between a writer who afraid of commitment and his stenographer and yet the romance in the film is not quite convincing...

- Howl's Moving Castle (2004), a great Japanese animation again by Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎駿). I've seen this film in the movie theater but still feel touched a lot while seeing the DVD again.

- Flightplan (2005), a psychological thriller film. Though the reason for setting Jodie Foster's role (Kyle, an aeroplane engineer) up into this airplane hijacking seems a bit wierd, Foster's acting does bring me the anxious and panic feelings as what her role feels throughout the film.

- Pride & Prejudice (2005): nice English scenery and costumes; but I don't like the ending, pretty cliché... still prefer that of BBC's TV mini series (1995) and Colin Firth's Mr. Darcy...


Should add a link for those movies I've seen and like a lot...
