Haha, somehow, I can't stop thinking about the whole gist when it comes to the movie Aeon Flux.
What I have to say is that the movie was extremely confusing in the beginning. Absolutely no character introduction (For a moment, I thought Aeon Flux was having a lesbian relationship with another woman, who eventually turned out to be her sister Luna). The stunts were cool though. Although Eveline and Filina found the movie gross, I guess I'm a little more desensitised to violence (or as a certain GP tutor in my EX-school, man, how I love saying that, EX-school, says it , "Wilence") so I found it fine.
Eventually, it turns out that the whole movie is about 2 mistaken characters who have had their individual organisations turned against them, are fighting for the right to live once and die forever. Interesting. Instead of fighting to live, they're fighting to live once and then die forever. See, what happens is that when people die, they are cloned (via their DNA) and "recycled" into new babies, since the new humans of tomorrow are sterile. One guy is trying to bring fertility back, while his brother is trying to stop him (and launches a coup). His wife from a previous life (sounds like reincarnation) is brought out by the rebels to kill the saviour guy, who somehow goes over to his side and the rebels turn on her. Yada, yada, yada, after all the action. The evil brother dies, the 2 leads live while the rebels who, at the very last minute, decide to help the heroine, die. Nature prevails and *gasp* women start getting pregnant naturally. Nice summary eh? Lol.
I frightened Eveline and Filina with my take on why the brother used his assistant to infiltrate the rebel organisation to assasinate his brother. I think I've watched too much Survivor such that my powers of analysis (or lack thereof) straightaway deviates in that direction. I thought that by making use of the rebels to kill his brother, the evil one can effectively take over the dynasty and rule the world while having a perfectly legitimate reason to wipte out all the rebels. Ok, so I think that there is a reason behind every move and thinks in a more complicated way. *Shrugs*
From the movie, you can see what unrealistic hopes mankind has for Science. By the year 2045, we are not likely to be able to turn our feet into hands, modify our eyeballs to check for drugs in water nor communicate in a make-believe world in our minds with each other. If it had been the year 2545, maybe. Haha.
Christmas week, Christmas week. The year is passing so quickly. People are coming over for the barbeque later on, it's raining and my dogs are acting like cowards. I feel that the whole event is still rather disorganised. Of course, that's from my POV and since I am not the organiser, it aint really my problem, although my mother has gone out of her way to book the pit, order the satay (a little like kebabs, all meat though), buy the utensils and (MAYBE) get the otah. The whole CD player thing was getting on my nerves, but I am glad I managed to borrow one. Please don't bring up the whole decoration idea again, we already have Christmas lights....
I feel so disengaged from the world. I'm going out more often, yet I still feel as if I'm living in my own tiny, little, crystal ball world, cut off from everyone else. Maybe the Christmassy feel has gone off, only to be replaced by my usual indifference and dread. Especially when it comes towards Christmas and the end of the year. Because there isn't really much to look forward to, largely based on experience. I wonder how would it feel like to really enjoy Christmas, for once. I mean, Christmas seems like the most peaceful and the happiest festival in Singapore (unlike the Lunar New Year, which can get really hectic and noisy), yet everytime it comes around the corner, I feel like digging a hole and burying myself in it. That all-too-familiar miserable feeling. And I don't even know why I keep getting it, like there's not much to look forward to. Of course, religion fanatics would use this excuse to try to proselytise, but I am not about to buy into that. Perhaps Christmas is only superficial. Every day feels like Christmas, because you don't really feel anything on Christmas.
I shocked myself, by finding out that only 2 weeks into my 6-8 MONTH break, I'm bored sick. I am so bored I find myself doing nothing the entire day but staring into my computer screen, hoping for the sun to set. I thought I would really enjoy this whole not-doing-anything phase, since I missed it last year due to a particular internship, which I shall not call a waste of time (I may end up going back there to work, if I'm crazy enough, and if the pay is attractive enough). I would say that yes, I pseudo-experienced what working can be like. And yes, I like the people there enough. But the pay was really a bummer as it wasn't even enough to cover transport, let alone lunch. Now, I'm still at the "I need cash, I need tuition kids, but please don't throw me into the deep end and expect me to coach an entire class" phase.
Life can be so mundane. Anyway, I was at Raffles City yesterday with the girls, and we walked into this really chic, zen and cool furniture shop. The furniture looked fabulous, and of course, so was the price. When I get the cash, I really want my furniture to look like that.
So I was googling for sites with furniture that look like that, and I chanced upon...
I'm a 3rd year student in what is probably the largest autonomous university in Singapore majoring in a Science-related subject (well it sorta IS SCIENCE). I'm known to be introverted, sarcastic (at times), funny when I rant (which isn't a good thing lol) and somewhat of a loner. I miss LA and would move there in a heartbeat :(
