just watched 'Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain' (The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain). or better known as just plain 'Amélie'. it's quite interesting. Amélie is this really different and special girl who goes about trying to change ppl's lives thru her 'mischievous' ways. She's v introvert and always coming up with puzzles, even to the man she loves. towards the end when she tot that all was lost btw him and her, she suddenly comes out of her shell and go for what she really wants.

i guess all french movies are kinda more out of the box than most movies which are more mainstream and commerical. the way the stories are told, it's very fast paced and magical and funny at times. they actually show you that you are watching a movie. instead of those Hollywood shows who always try to conceal the fact that you are watching a movie and just spoon feed you with every detail. i guess non Hollywood movies makes you infer from what they show you. every single part of the movie is always up to different opinions. more open ended and up to your imagination.

haha anw some trivia:
Mathieu Kassovitz, Amélie's love interest, is a director as well! more mainstream movies he's directed is 'Gothika'. haha k la... not such a great movie... but i actually wonder how his french efforts have turned out.

haha i've actually got this habit of checking up over at http://www.imdb.com/ or http://www.rottentomatoes.com/ to check out more about the movies which i've just watched... really can dig up a lot of interesting stuff on what other work the actors or directors have done. kinda provides an avenue for me to look out for other works they have done.  

I'm so IN LOVE with this gorgeous guy!!! 

(this was the 'clearest' photo i took... -_-''')

he was late for 45mins and only performed 15mins! it was supposed to b from 745-815pm... anyhow he's damn stylish! albeit his hair being a mess... haha aiyah anw i tried to take photos... but den my hand damn shaky :S and i oso took video clips... but den i realised no sound! ah!!! haha so wad's the pt rite? haiz... anyhow i like his 1st & 2nd song... still dunnoe wad's the titles cos i haven't heard his new album yet... all in all the music was too damn loud i cannot even hear his piano... even tho he was in a total trance when he was performing... but the last encore 'unplugged' track 'The Flight Of The Bumble Bee', was really very pro. haha must get my hands on his new album! (i'm trying means and ways of getting a free copy of his new album hopefully by winning some contest) oh yar for those who dunnoe, i won free tix from the NUSSU newsletter, HOOKED, for this performance... haha even tho they were damn cock up, cos they din have my details prepared for the ppl there so i had virtually no proof of gaining access except by the sms the person sent me yesterday, i actually got in unscathed. haha

anyhow, i went with jaymz... wah seh he really '抽到烂'... he had like ard 5 cigarettes in that short span of, wad, 4hrs? :S okie la, but i must say he looks rather dashing in office wear, cos he's v tall but it was nice company, just talking bout r/s stuff and wad not.

3214 is freaking stressing me out! so afraid to go online cos i'd b asked bout 3214 stuff... damn scared cos i dun feel i'm contributing much... argh! so difficult!

anyhow, reading a fren's blog recently and today's outing with jaymz has made me somehow realize and feel that i simply shd not and it's not worth it for me to get into a r/s.

from a fren's blog:
Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.

call me a commitment-phobe or a selfish bum but i guess i'm just not ready to get into anything. being in a r/s means giving. i guessed i've all along been looking for the wrong kind of guys to b part of my life. talking to jaymz has also kinda broaden up my mind bout r/s. totally showed me how wrong eric was for me. and how probably my mentality towards r/s all this while was kinda skewed. i guess slowly ba. the day will come when i feel that i'm ready to start giving rather den taking in a r/s. no matter how nice a guy can b to me, if i am not willing to give, i guess it will fail eventually.

btw i shd b having dyed hair soon... won hair dye thru HOOKED again! haha last chance to havoc... hope my hair dun drop off...  

collecting my hair dye tmr!!! hopefully purple hair coming my way! haha

besides that! there is also the girls outing with gen, mich and grace on sat!!!   haha but i'm hoping not to spend at all. n oso pepper lunch + caramel ice cream! *SLURP!!!* then after dat i am meeting up with some freshie frens to chill... wahha like it's e 1st time i'm going out with freshie frens? haha new found ones la. but cool, bunch of fun ppl! fun ppl makes me fun! haha k dat din come out quite right. but a fun filled sat coming my way!

right now... i just have to get by fri... :S 3214 again... :S jap TC again... gonna face an absolutely silent class...

n i met clement today! ah!!! *runs* haha he oways has the tendency to wanna ask me out all over again whenever he happen to bump into me or wadever... arts guys v weird 1...

FRI PLS FLY BY AND SAT PLS COME MY WAY!  

k this place is collecting dust le. hrm... oso dunnoe what to blog about.

but sometimes i just really dun understand what i am doing.

PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR HIM!!! 

since the mid term break, think i've been on overdrive. massive retail therapy, luxurious buffet spreads (mostly jap food), excessive msn-ing (with a particular some1), too much exercising and way too much luck in winning prizes at contests (Maksim, HOYU hairdye, red earth makeover, marcx bag) haha...

dun even feel like doing my stats tut which i'm having later at 1pm. hrm... but sharks, got a 4 and a half hrs to rot later cos i'm taking part in IFG netball... hrm... against arts. frantic frantic. but i think i'd most likely b quite heck care... c how lor... i might not even b playing.

my 'shelf''s been such a mess and i'm just too lazy to clear it even... oh well...

anyhow just wanna say dat dis sem has been one where many new frens were made (so far). so nice to have new frens ard dat you can go out with, chat and have fun. really broadens up ur mind about the people around you.

other then that, sch work has been such a drag. ST2131 is getting un-do-able. CS3235 also! still fighting a battle with jap2. i din SU it eventually cos i seriously love the language. i just have to get thru this hurdle of doing it all by myself because the lecturers and tutors cannot really help me.

heh actually 2 nites ago i kinda realised my life is not happening enuff as compared to others. only myself to blame cos i'm kinda anti social sometimes, like dun wanna go outings cos it's either mafan or i'm just lazy. =X hopefully once sch hols come ard, i'd b more onz bout going out. haha 

anyhow, i seriously hope:
1) i get into the hiroshima homestay programme. i need a vacation!
2) i can go hk with shujun!
3) i can somehow generate some income, since i've been 解雇 from tuition like a week ago.

'Lost' is such a riveting show. can't stop watching. 'Pride' as well... getting damn complicated cos of Aki's old bf coming back into the picture. somemore his name is Natsu! (Aki = Autumn; Haru = Spring; Natsu = Summer) Love triangle btw the Season names! hehehe

on another note, am so glad that things were some sort made clear btw us. hee! rather happy, less irritable and even lesser wondering of what is going on.
