Went to watch THE BANQUET just now starring Zhang Ziyi, Daniel Wu & Zhou xun. It's a starry cast. Found the show to be quite bland actually but im glad someone else enjoyed it. " )

It was yet again a show about people getting consumed by their desires to rise to the throne and of course there's always the element of lust. The 美人 or 江山？ Dilemma right. haha.. But in the end, emperors always fall under the spell of 美人s. In lust we trust. haha

These power struggles always end up with everyone dead coz they were CONSUMED BY THE FLAMES OF DESIRE. Either desire for money, the woman, the man, the kingdom, the list goes on. Now, its called CONSUMED by the flames of desire for a reason. Why not DISTURBED or let's say LICKED by the flames of desire. Why CONSUME?

Coz desire swallows a person whole and in chinese, 把他吃掉。 Thus consumed. ha ,makes sense not?

On this note, I guess everyone should have some fundamental principles which one holds dear to them. And fundamental principles dun change no matter what the situations.

*ok, actually in the next paragraph i was gg to share my own personal fundamental beliefs. But i got distracted and now gt no mood to talk abt things like my fundamental principles. And coz im coughing like nobody's business too. Let's call it a night*
