| Cookie Monster
You scored 66% Organization, 35% abstract, and 37% extroverted! | | This test measured 3 variables. First, this test measured how organized you are. Some muppets like Cookie Monster make big messes, while others like Bert are quite anal about things being clean. Second, this test measured if you prefer a concrete or an abstract viewpoint. For the purposes of this test, concrete people are considered to gravitate more to mathematical and logical approaches, whereas abstract people are more the dreamers and artistic type. Third, this test measured if you are more of an introvert or an extrovert. By definition, an introvert concentrates more on herself and an extrovert focuses more on others. In this test an introvert was somebody that either tends to spend more time alone or thinks more about herself. You are somewhat organized, more concrete, and more introverted. Here is why are you Cookie Monster. You are both somewhat sloppy. Actually you are probably a lot less messy than Cookie Monster. Cookie Monster can be messy when he is eating, but he doesn't usually lose things. You are probably mostly organized. You have a good idea where you put things and you probably keep your place reasonably clean. You aren't totally obsessed with neatness though.
You both can be concrete thinkers. Cookie Monster knows what he wants (cookies!) and he consistently works toward that goal. You probably know what you want in life, and you have a real plan toward achieving it.
You are both introverted. Cookie Monster only thinks about himself when he says "Me want cookies." He rarely thinks of the affect he has on others. For whatever reason you are uncomfortable in social settings. You probably have one or two people that you are close with. You'd rather do things by yourself and you dislike working in groups. The other possible characters are
Oscar the Grouch
Big Bird
Snuffleupagus
Ernie
Elmo
Kermit the Frog
Grover
The Count
Guy Smiley
Bert If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback! Also if you want to tell me your favorite Sesame Street character, I can total them up and post them here. Perhaps your choice will win! |  |

| I'm back on the Internet...
Well, since I went back home and reprimanded of my appalling exam results, I haven't blogged for quite a while.
Since
I have now got internet connection at my London flat, I can make
comments on other blogs and write my own blog again. I'm really sorry
for the long wait you might have encountered. | | |
| A Poem from my sister
Here is a poem from my sister. She asked me if I could publish it, so I publish it here.
River of Enternal Friendship,
Flows into Everybody's Heart,
Ends to love feather
which tickles Everybody's Heart,
All rotct apple of peace all divine. | | |
| Now I understand that I haven't updated my blog for almost a month, but it doesn't mean that I'm not active. No, I'm still alive online and offline, as you may use Google or Yahoo (both generates similar but slightly different results) to review what I've written in various blogs (Warning: Although I mainly wrote in English, most of the original posts are in Chinese) by searching my internet pseudonym, 28481k.
Right, I'm leaving London for Hong Kong tomorrow. I still have lots to do such as cleaning up the place and packing, especially when my mobile phone is not working (the switch button is wrecked and I forcibily switched off my phone when I removed the battery). Hence, I would not have enough time to review what I have done during and after exams. I promise though there will a very thorough review on four topics either here or in my almost-refurbished blogger site at http://28481k.blogspot.com before July 1st. Please from now on bookmarked that site as well.
Topics to be reviewed:
1. My Exams in late May and early June
2. My life after exams
3. Chinese Democratic Movements (May 4th, June 4th and July 1st)
4. Internet Plagiarism and Copyright Issues (as noted by KC's sudden departure from his blog)
Really personal feelings will still be posted here as it has a very good social network here whereas product reviews, film reviews, news reviews and other topical stuff will be posted in my Blogger Page at http://28481k.blogspot.com. However, as Blogger is blocked by the Great Fire Wall of China totally, topics which might be related to China will be also posted here.

| Film Review: Star Wars 3 - The Revenge of the Sith
I watched the film last Friday night, and here's my verdict of the film: 1) It's too short!
In
2 hours and 10 minutes, the film is in average length but the ending is
a little bit abrupt with Obi-Wan taking two babies to two seperate
families. Time realy kind of flies in this movie as everything
seem to move very fast, with lots of special effects which seems to
delay the actual timing of the film. However, there are several
parts which the story seems to rush through which I'll explain below. 2) Poor Acting
Fine,
as we supposed to know the storyline of the film and expected them to
happen in sequence, so there shouldn't be too much acting to
watch. However Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker was
void of all kinds of emotions in the film, he fought ferociously,
he walked gracefully, but he acted without vigor. I
mean how could Anakin changed so quickly into Darth Vader without even
showing more of his inner conflict. Natalie Portman
as Padmé is also quite emotionless, with an extra disadvantage of Star
Wars vintage makeup. Ian McDiarmid as Chancellor
Palpatine didn't seduce Anakin emotionally and forcefully into the dark
force so that seemed to be a little bit of rush to me. He
acted his role very well though, as he really made himself very bad, so
bad that we are convinced that he was evil. Ewan McGregor as
Obi-Wan Kenobi handled his cast quite well though, and his acting
skills kind of balance the lack of it from Hayden. In fact, it's
not the special
effects which make the film, it's the acting. To be honest, most
people are not watching for the plot or acting per se, but the special
effects, and they are stunning.
3) Good Effects
The fight in the volcano of Mustafa is unique because those lava which
included upon the fighting scene are real lava, not just normal CG
stuff. The aircrafts, the lightsaber, the robots are all well
placed and it had a very conherent ring of Star Wars. As one of
my friend joked, that the only main characters who went through the
whole series was C-3PO and R2-D2, which illustrates how entrenched
those special effects are.
Conclusion
I had quite high expectation in this episode actually,
because I
haven't really watch any Star Wars movies seriously before. The
hype is proved to be over blown, though many Star Wars Fans were quite
eager
to see this film as they want to finish off the prequel triology.
I'll give 3 out of 5 for this film. The genreal consensus was
this is the best out of the three prequel triology, though it still
pales itself from the original triology. I'm looking forward to buy the
old triology DVD and watch it all by myself.
