exams are finally over, but i still got some studying to do, sad face. well, not exactly studying luh, happy face, reading, in fact. have to finish an entire novel tomorrow cos' there's this NTU talk on it on Saturday and a part of it is based on that. mates say it's boring but... i don't know, haven't even started. and they already told me the ending, which i feel obliged to spoil it for you as well since misery loves company. so if you intend to read it (Ian McEwan's Amsterdam), CLIVE AND VERNON KILL EACH OTHER. there's that. at least you can go find out how they do that (which they've also told me).
lit paper was a rude awakening to my limited vocabulary. like wtf, you know you need to start reading and using the thesaurus more often when you paraphrase 'daily existence and challenges' as 'problems the characters encounter result in them leading a miserable life'. on the bright side, i got to use most of the lit terms i slaved over the night before, falling/rising action, catastrophe, climax, anachronism etc. so yay.
this post is already pretty long but i watched an amazing movie today, which i have been meaning to ever since it's debut in cinema's 2 years ago. Push was so goodddddd, brimming with action and everything. Dakota Fanning's acting was already brilliant at such a young age and Camilla Belle's sexy as hell. Chris Evan's pretty good looking too so there's that. actually i found it a little weird how they made asians very stereotypical with the way they're dressed and the powers they possess. still, insane movie. just the action loving side of me acting out.

K. RANDOM PLONK:
most of our lives we are condemned to fit in. even when we try not to, even when we try being different; individualistic, we usually end up failing. society begets us to fit in. society demands us to fit in. it wants us to know that when you deviate from its dictatorship, you stand alone. the thing about man, is that we fear being alone in situations, that most of the time we would end up slumping back to our old selves. we are afraid, and we have grown tired from fighting. we are no longer interested in being who we really are, we are no longer ourselves but everyone else. and that scares me, the thought of losing myself to everybody, and the thought that everybody is losing themselves to people like me.
