Elective: Film Literacy
It wasn't as good as I thought it might have turned out to be, nor was it as bad as I thought it would have been. Ironic, but this always happen when you enter a room without expectations or enthusiasm. But who would be enthusiastic about ELECTIVES, you tell me!

So basically we were introduced to many parts of a film, and the many filming techniques. We watched many BORING films, and I realised that budget = quality. There were many films which were kinda boring and meaningless, leaving you just hanging in space after the entire thing ended. Worse still, comedies aren't funny, and you actually sleep through it? I think melodramas would be more entertaining, cos you'll probably be laughing at the ridiculousness of the characters weeping as if the world has come to an end.

But still, I wouldn't exactly weep.

I typed misery in the image search and I found this gloomy pic. heh I like (:



Do you exactly worry if the world comes to an end? I know my mum thinks it's good because nothing beats having the entire family dying together, so no one will wallow in despair and misery. And at that thought of it, everything around you seems mediocre and insignificant.

If the world were to come to an end soon,
I wouldn't be:
- blogging now
- attempting to reduce the annoying pile of homework
- bothering to save up for anything
- concealing my true emotions and thoughts when I'm around people whom I'm not exactly very close to, so they would not have warped impressions of me and use them against me, for whatever shitty reasons.
[sudden thought: why don't people dare to say whatever they think in front of others, and instead choose to backstab or gossip behind their backs? Don't they see that if it becomes a norm to become straightforward, it'll be a cycle and the world will be a happier place?] [/end of thought ha]

I would be:
- spending spending spending LOADS on food
- balling
- I wanted to type eat and sleep, but I realised they took up a lot of time

Oh so anyway, FILM LITERACY was just 3 days of slacking for us. Many a times I nodded away and was really sleepy, so I just lay my table and slept. It felt good, and that's all that mattered.

It was a class outing organised my Ms Tan, and while others were doing their CIP activities, we were busy viewing the entire place, snapping photos and having a picnic. It was relatively enjoyable I guess, except for the fact that Ms Tan kept asking us to stand in the BLOODY HOT SUN, snapping 10 photos in a row. I don't mind the heat, but having to smile and squint your eyes is not on my list of to-dos.







Taken outside this cafe which had an annoying policy. Only customers were allowed to sit -.-
I wouldn't even be obstructing any business since hardly anyone was there when I was. Chieh. [whatever this means, haha]

In the gallery, there was this section with loads of holes and the lights would change every 30 seconds. Pretty pretty (: And it was really nice to hug, cos it was of the right size.




The talk was informative and comfortable, because of the air con (: And the whole place was sparkly and shiny, so it was fascinating of some-sort.

Then we walked over to some big empty space where Ms Tan told us of her leaving our class. Didn't feel very sad at first, but after hearing her narrate her predicament and problems, I felt for her. Knowing the pig I am, sleeping is probably on my favourite to-do list. Not being able to sleep when you're feeling tired or it's a necessary for you to do so, would definitely affect my entire functioning. My mood, my efficiency, everything.




I was wondering why this pic was here, then I remembered that I wanted to use it for the BEFORE AND AFTER pic that Rae suggested I post. Took a long time sieving through facebook pics for individual pics, and I found this spastic one which provides good comic relief. Chan spent a long time laughing at it. Jiajian's imba camera is damn quick.

WHICH REMINDS ME, NONONONO, rachel tan shall not touch Jiaqi's DSLR ): But I think I'm kinda immune to spastic photos already. I can't expect every picture to be normal and decent right? You have to be super ultra chio to the max to have that to happen to you. Like every angle of your face is like: woah, a pic of an angel descended from heaven.
BEFORE:
rachel said I've thick lips. I agree that my lips are really fat after this pic was taken. SIGH ):

AFTER:
No diff I think. I didn't get darker, just that I've a weird tan line at my arms.

Went back to school to get the report book slips. My grades improved alot, and I'm glad for that.
I'm not going to be like those annoying people who would post their high GPA like 3.7, and say something like this:
[ Almost everyone in the class got higher than me, and frankly speaking, I really think I could have gotten better. If not for the silly careless mistakes and the times when I chose to procrastinate, I would probably achieved 3.93 ]

Seriously, screw you -.-
Then people will post in their tagboard like this:
[ WALAO, so high lo! I got only 3.5! (another ass) And you didn't slack lo, you mugger. Anyway you should take a break since you worked so hard for it right? ]

Sometimes I can't help but feel that people degrade themselves OPENLY OUT LOUD to gain attention and receive the cheap pleasantries they hope to hear. It probably boosts their ego and affirms their self-confidence and self-worth.

Which further reminds me of this point which I really hate of people. Discussing the bloody paper which has already passed. Okay, it's their mouth, so I don't exactly have any control of it, but can they contain their excitement and discussion in their classrooms, and not bring them to the toilet?
That's the place where I let out all my toxic waste and wash my face, so that I can feel refreshed and at least allow myself be self-deluded for that mere seconds that things would be fine, even though I know that I probably flunked it or will not hit expectations.

Annoying.
Same sentiments, people? hehe.
Great minds think alike,_______ differ. Forgot what that word was. Argh.
