I Want a Mobile Shell

Housing problem has been a big headache for Chinese youth who are in their marriageable age. Many of us dare not think of owning even a hut in China due to the skyrocketing price. But this picture took me by storm and provides us a viable way to kill the haunting problem. How I fancy a mobile villa like this, so I can travel around with a 'shell'. I don't think it's too bad to be a snail-man. Isn't it a good idea to stop building cars and instead rolling out mobile shells like this, a combination of car and house? Food for thought.

Google First Interactive Homepage Logo

Sorry, I'm a bit late on this -- Google's first interactive effort to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the release of Pac-Man. Well, I think we will definitely see more interactive Google doodles in the upcoming days. Innovation & creativity rule!

I enjoy it so much. It is a throwback to my childhood. You can play the Google doodle game here if you somehow miss it last week!

About Expo SH, About China

I'm a Chinese, born, raised and educated in China. I planned a September trip to Expo Shanghai early this month in efforts to personally experience the international event that proudly hosted in my motherland, but now I would like to take a second thought. Throughout my life, I was fed with info that my country wanted me to know, and I was not allowed even an ounce of news that was deemed inappropriate by our great censoring departments. We were/are treated as shitizens (shit + citizen) like no others. Yesterday I happened to watch a video showing how the security guards in Expo SH tried to stop reporters from filming the chaotic scene at the China pavilion. Our government don't want the chaos to be aired so it put a heavy hand on controlling the flow of info, which ended up damaging the filming equipments of a group of HK reporters. What a shame on my country. I live in a country where many facts are being covered up, many lies are being told, many news are fabricated.

Maybe it's just a sad truth across the globe -- capitalist rules forever!

Just Another Pandora's Box

Just Another Pandora's Box is a parody film that merrily blends 月光宝盒 and 赤壁 into one big funny material. The last parody film that sneaked into my eyelids was Meet The Spartans, which was 'watchwhile' in terms of its odd characters and plots. High praises surrounding Just Another Pandora's Box on the internet plus some recommendations form my pals was one of the reasons that I chose to get a glimpse of this HK-made comedy. Though didn't hit me hard as I expected it really produced some laughable moments thanks to a number of well-planned whimsical twists. For a parody film lover, it might well be your cup of tea.

Go Lala Go!

The Go Lala Go! bears almost no similarity to its paper predecessor A Story of Lala's Promotion, and even the English name of the film is remarkably different from its origin. Yes, the people involved are mainly from the book, but the whole story line is twisted enough for you to believe that the two have no relation at all. The story is more about love than promotion and is by no means an encourager.

Many people criticized director Jinglei Xu to make the movie a showcase of brands, and mocking that's because the talented actress-turned-director is under dire need of money.

The movie itself does not offer any climax. It goes on quite smoothly and throughout the movie you are entertained by a group of beauties, which is a really good news for male viewers! In summary, this is a movie that should be watched on monitor, not screen.
