being myself

i missed being myself again. and i've becoming more like me everyday. finally. i'm happier and everything now. going for talks, seminars, doing things i really like. more importantly, checking nusnet email once per day and not more! which reminds me, i haven't checked it today.

still busy? yes, not a question. it's a statement of fact. but oh well, that's part of life, accept it and be happy!

went for the first part of the 6 parts usp film series. they screened the good, the bad, and the ugly. fantastic. it's probably the oldest movies that i've watched since i was small. i mean my dad loved this kind of wild west shows, but i knew i hated it. i guess it's dad-son syndrome thing, when the young son hates the movies that the dad likes because the young son thinks that it's uncool and 'old' kind of things? yeah. but the show was really great. funny too! lame to be exact. probably the first clint eastwood movie i watched.

oh, and was accidentally brought in this gossip sessions with my friend's friends yesterday. it was crazy! i mean girls' gossips are really thorough. it seems that i got to know like more than ten people whose face i haven't seen before just by listening to them. i even started to put faces on these faceless people i've yet to meet. and after listening to their gossips, i think i'd rather not meet most of them. but oh well.

at night, gab, zhen, and i were involved in another session of talkingcock@usp. we walked all the way back from the screening to hall (and gab to the busstop), talking about all sort of things. well, it was fun, but i couldn't remember much about what we're talking about. i was a little terrified to face my captains, because i'm freakin' late for training. (i'd thought the screening would end at 9pm, not 10 plus.)

plus songs update, so many songs discovered in so many days i'm not blogging. so lovin' my itunes playlist. okay, this song, friends' i'll be there for you, but the instrumental version! super nice! it's played during the credits of friends season 5 season finale. super nice! i think it beats the rembrandts' version by a huge margin. and for songs of the day (and of the moment since it's playing in my itunes), it's wisemen by james blunt.

Wisemen
James Blunt

She said to me, "Go steady on me.
Won't you tell me what the Wise Men said?
When they came down from Heaven,
Smoked nine 'til seven,
All the shit that they could find,
But they couldn't escape from you,
Couldn't be free of you,
And now they know there's no way out,
And they're really sorry now for what they've done,
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun."

Look who's alone now,
It's not me. It's not me.
Those three Wise Men,
They've got a semi by the sea.
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?

Really sorry now,
They weren't to know.
They got caught up in your talent show,
With you pernickety little bastards in your fancy dress,
Who just judge each other and try to impress,
But they couldn't escape from you,
Couldn't be free of you,
And now they know there's no way out,
And they're really sorry now for what they've done,
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun.

Look who's alone now,
It's not me. It's not me.
Those three Wise Men,
They've got a semi by the sea.
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?

btw, i watched babel. it was... i don't know. i've no idea what's going on. this is the kind of movie you'll like zhen! because i don't understand it at all! the story (no, stories) were there, but they were stitched in a weird ways. there's no time continuity (which i thought was great, because it made me realized that i wanted a time continuity, and it made the movie felt weird at first). there were 3 stories, all related in a very, very small ways. mom got shot in morocco by some small kid, far away from hospital. dad was desperate. and they got closer. that's one. maid couldn't get somebody to watch over the two kids and brought them with her to mexico to attend her son's wedding. got trapped in border when coming back to the states, stuck in the middle of the dessert, almost died, found, maid got deported, kids were saved. a deaf-mute girl in japan, wanted to have sex so badly, story revolved around thinking that she can be accepted into society if she could have sex with somebody, but couldn't get anyone to have sex with her. cried and cried and cried at the end. the girl's dad was the owner of the rifle the kid used to shoot the other mom. gave it to his hunting guide in morocco as a gift. oh well. tough show. but nevertheless gave a lot to think about. i'll ponder about it again sometime.

okay. good day. good night everyone!
