I decided to make my font bigger so it's easier on the eyes. On my eyes, anyway. I have to, looking at the amount of time I spend everyday looking at the computer screen. It is the holidays after all.
Homework? Uhhhh.. What? What homework? Am I talking about the chemistry worksheets, 19 pages in all? Oh wait, maybe it's the math worksheets. Don't forget the 5 malay compos!
And God knows what else.
I commend the grandparent who wrote in to TNP to bring up the lack of holiday spirit in teachers. She was complaining about how her grandson has such a packed schedule and tons of homework. What a sweetie!
Had an ex-co meeting in school just now. It was, proud to say, rather productive, which is uncommon. Me and Ain finally got the T-shirt design to the company. It was supposed to be in, what, since February??
Found out who my Aussie guest is. Her name's Melanie Hawkins. Nice ah? And she's into drama, singing and dancing. I hope it's not ballet, I know nuts about ballet. Eh, but then again, it doesn't hurt to learn something new what.
Wondering how I am supposed to walk to school in the morning. My boyfriend on one side, Melanie on the other. Hmmm.
My day guest is a guy named Chris. Basically Melanie will be staying with me but I'll be walking around school with Chris. And they are both seventeen.
I don't know why but I feel like bringing them to the zoo. Haha!
I haven't been to the zoo in a long time okay! I remember how I used to hate going to the zoo during primary school because we used to go there on a monthly basis to have lessons. Have lessons!! And here I am wanting to go.
I realised I haven't blogged about the movies I've seen.
The first one was The Amityville Horror. This is one heck of a freaky movie. Watched it over at Shikin's house. While dying my hair. And pigging out. Anyway, yes, back to the movie.
It opens with a recount on how the house got haunted. Basically this guy goes psycho and kills every single one of his family members. The cinematography during this part was kind of headache-inducing, and it gave a news-at-ten feel. Confusing actually.
The movie is not that gory, but focuses more on the ghosts, with sudden shocks here and there. There is this [extremely realistic] sex scene where the couple is grinding against each other and the guy suddenly sees kids hanging down from the ceiling. Freaky!!!
The movie left me vaguely disturbed, I don't know why.
Another scene was when this babysitter [looks more like a hooker] got herself trapped in the closet and the ghost of Jodie Defeo appeared, grabbed her finger and stuck it in a bullethole in her head! I confess, I didn't see that part because I was facing the other way so that Nas could put the dye on my hair. Really!
I didn't get the Indian slaves being tortured thing. What the heck did that have to do with the guy going psycho? And Indian slaves?? Why not Chinese slaves? Why not Thai slaves?
I wouldn't say this is a must-watch, but if you like a good scare, AND if you are 16 and above, go!!! Watch!!
The other movie I watched is Madagascar. Even though I don't like cartoons, I still went and watched, because Nas persuaded me to watch.
Welll... nothing to scream about, forgettable storyline but amazingly funny! The characters are so endearing! I love the penguins they are so adorable. I love the zebra he is so cute! And he is voiced by Chris Rock so you get the black-guy humour, which I find funnier than anything else.
This is a movie to watch with friends, if you feel stressed, or just need a dose of cuteness from a source other than Kids Central.
Speaking of Kids Central, I find it bloody irritating. I find the child actors or "celebrities" as they like to refer them as fake and act-cute.
But being a horror movie fan, I say The Amityville Horror is better.
I realise I sound very happy. In truth, I've been depressed since Saturday. I'm sorry if I make YOU feel depressed because you really shouldn't. Be happy, because whatever problems you are having now, be it the amount of homework you owe teachers, the amount of money you owe people, the amount of fat you have on your body, whatever, it's not as bad as it seems.
And I know it's not known for me to get depressed. I never seem to, right?
And in case you're wondering, no I am NOT suicidal. I'm not that stupid okay. Neither am I pregnant.
It's not the angsty depressed. It's not the psycho depressed. It's just... very sad depressed? I don't know. Just this feeling of sadness brought upon by helplessness and empathy. Being affected by another person's pain can really mess up your mind.
It also blocks creativity and efficiency! I find myself getting all confused and simply not having the strength to do things. Just when I find myself a nice new sketchbook. Okay, so it's not really a sketchbook but it's a Guinness World Record 1990 book, except that the pages are blank. It's hard-cover, really think and has magazine paper pages. Cool ah?
BUT it is damn heavy! Cannot bring to school. Too bad lah. Maybe after I've filled up a quarter of it then I'll bring it to school.
Sigh.
