The Bummer

With nothing but time on my hands, I've been bumming around lately. I've spent countless of hours on mysoju.com watching Shining Inheritance. Each episode is 1 hour and I've completed 28 episodes of that. Please don't watch it ok! It's addictive and many girls will lie to you and say it's good, but really it's not. It's so slow-moving, it's only saving grace is dramatic plot. The story is so twisted and dramatic that you can't help wonder how everything's going to unfold itself. When it finally did, it did not happen because the lead actors were smart or witty, it was just a string of coincidences that led to the ending. The are a couple of reasons why I bothered finishing them. First, I have a lot of time. Second, I kept hoping that the cute supporting Korean actor would succeed and become the lead actor. (It never happened)

If I were the director, there'll be many things I would change. After all, such Korean dramas serve to make you feel good. Watching Shining Inheritance is like eating average Ba Chor Mee.

On Sunday, I picked up a reserved book at the library - Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix. It's my first time reserving a book, do you know it costs $1.55? Previously I had only read Book 1-4, after watching the Harry Potter movie 6, i decided to fill in the gap by reading book 5. I must say that J K Rowling is really imaginative. However I felt that HP was pretty much just an angry boy for the first 3/4 of the book. Because the reader can only know what Harry knows, I felt quite bored reading it. For most part, HP was just an angry teen who felt that the adults were treating him unfairly.

From now on, I'm just gonna read books, take MacRitchie walks, study Finance and go to the gym. Sigh, just a few more weeks to school.
