Time and tide wait for no man. But how about at the water theme park in the tide pool?
Movie Orgys -- Now that is something which i really like. On Saturday and Monday (19th and 21st of June), i had the opportunity to watch movies at two of my friends' places. All in all i watched :
Sinbad
The Prince and Me
My Sassy Girl
Il Marie
Pleasantville
Everafter
American Pie - The Wedding
Interview With A Vampire
I had a terrific time watching those shows and i enjoyed the company even more. They made the films all the more interesting and meaningful because of their pressence and their personal insights to the why certain things happened. Honestly i take my movie experiences very seriously, maybe its because i am a literature student, but i find myself taking apart almost every story i watch these days. As a result i have found that i have a huge soft spot for damned creatures. These beings have to have a certain standard to be allowed to earn my empathy. They have to understand their reason for damnation and in turn desire to have a better life or exsistence even if their ultmost proves futile and their predicament remains unchanged or worsened. Hence my tears for Louis, Spike, Angel, Achilles and Breseis, etc.
The whole idea of watching a show is for the chance to escape to a totally different realm. Where the rules are changed. Where we can pretend we are someone else and we are not confined to the routines of our own lives. For that period of time, we can escape and become that person who has the ability to walk through walls, sing like and angel, score really well in tests, fly, love without thinking about the consiquences or even be able to communicate with a lost loved one. At the end of it all, you have to walk away from the tale and somehow something will be learnt. If your fortunate, it gives you an insight or clue to what life is and why we are so lucky to be living the way we do , with the people around us and the things we go through. The same goes for the reading of novels and listening to songs, be they with or without words. The emotions conveyed are very important to the whole concept of grasping and understanding the various ideals which are a part of our society and humanity.
On the 29th of June 2004, around 10 pm, Singapore experienced a blackout that affected about 30% of the island. It is the worst one i have experienced in my short lifespan. It was rather fun to be walking around with my cell members in the dark from place to place. First down from the 6th story to Winnie's house so that she would not be alone. Then back to the car park so that Jeff could drive us all back home.
When the blackout first hit, we had just steped out of Uncle Alan's house, thankfully we did not leave earlier, if not we would have been stuck in the lifts. We also thought that only a same portion of the neighbourhood had been hit by the power shortage...well, misery loves company.
The blackout lasted for about 2 hrs and my grid area was the last one to get back electricity, so i spent some time bathing in the dark. You should try that one day. Apart from the blindness that one experiences in the dark, there is also the issue of the passing of time. i have a problem of keeping track of time in the dark. As a result i ended up making two phone calls at obscenely late hours. Yilinn at 11.25pm and Joshua at 11.42pm. So guys, if u read this: i am sorry that time stops for me in the dark. You might think that its not really that late,but i have a personal rule of not making calls to people later than 10.30pm, unless its an emergency or i know that person will still be awake. Then again, a blackout does come under the catagory of Start Screaming for some ya?
On thursday ( 1st of July) i managed to get myself and Chailing down to Chinatown to do some CD shopping :) I am please to announce that i am now the proud owner of a TROY Ost . Finally i can listen to that Josh Groban song!!!! We also spent that day walking around town and i ended up with very sore feet dure to the lack of peddings on my slippers...but it felt gooooood to spend all that cash...haha...
Congrats to Adelyn on the setting up of her blog site! Its nice to know that i can influence someone into starting her own blog :) Somehow i have a feeling that she's going to be writing alot of stuff on the net...knowing her, the entrys are going to be very interesting.
Well, till the next time the computer decides to work,
Cheers!
