Wassup ...; The Lion King 3D

I sometimes use that as a greeting, just so you know. Exam over and done with. Lots of pending assignments and neverending reading still left. But I'm currently on mid-sem break so all of that is next week's problem. So, this post is about Saturday! As you all know, if you were in Sydney, that Saturday was a pretty crap weather kind of day. After the really lovely and hot Friday us Sydney-siders were treated to rain, wind and cold. I did not feel like going out at all but I had promised to see The Lion King in 3D with a friend all the way in Westfield Bondi Junction.


I think the first time I watched The Lion King was on a pirated VHS. Yeah. My dad had 2 VCRs and his friends would come to him to make copies of videos. Then my dad would make an extra copy for us. (OMG, we sound so pov XD).

I have not rewatched it since I was a kid so I was wondering how it'd hold up. And ... IT WAS AMAZING. STILL. After all these years. And I may have shed silent tears in the cinema. The cinema I was in had a few little kids in it watching it for the first time. And they'd talk and ask questions. Like "Where's his dad" "What happened to his dead?" "They can't kill him!" "Remember!" "OMG it's his dad!" My friend and I kept hitting each other when a song would come on. It was really lovely, nostalgic experience. Came out of it feeling all warm and bubbly. It really hasn't lost its magic.

I don't think it was necessary for it to be in 3D. I think a re-release with a few touch ups if needed would have been more than enough. 3D really didn't add anything more to this film, except a few more bucks. The film is perfect on its own. It doesn't need 3D. Now I'm gonna try to find my VHS copy and a VCR to rewatch. XD

Back to school: a miscellaneous post

Unless you're a working member of society and education is all behind you ... XD

First week was last week for me and it was pretty easy intro stuff because it's the first week. It's difficult to get back into a routine after 5 weeks of nothing. Getting up in the morning is especially hard.

Anyway, besides all that, ticket prices have come out for the 2011 K-Pop Music Fest. in Sydney (http://www.jkent.com.au/kpop2011).

VIP $289 / Gold $189 / Silver $139 / Bronze $89

I don't know how much ticket prices for a music festival are usually so I don't know how reasonable these prices are. It's arguable for the number and status of some of these groups its a pretty reasonable price. I'm betting some fans are going to fly in from interstate and/or overseas. Sydney and ticket buying is pretty accessible compared to other places so that's a major benefit for overseas fans.

I'm getting VIP. If the benefits of VIP are pretty good. Details have yet to be released as to what VIP includes. If you get VIP too, see you there! XDDDD

I've spent the past few days catching up on dramas. I've been watching (not in order of preference):

• Japanese dramas


• Zenkai Girl (Ryo!)


• Hanawake no Yon Shimai


• Ouran High School Host Club


• Arakawa Under the Bridge (the crack!)


• Ikemen desu ne (Tamamori Yuta love!)


• IS


• Detective Conan (I ship Ran and Shinichi so much! Their chemistry is amazing!)

• Korean dramas


• Heartstrings


• Myung Wol the Spy

I have not caught up on City Hunter. Heard the ending was pretty good though. This Japanese drama season is pretty good. Lots of stuff to watch.

And ... dinner is cooked (Japanese style curry over pasta) ... wow, blogging is a great time filler! XD

How was your Monday?
