When I heard Cast Away soundtrack on Youtube, the movie I watched a few years ago came back to my mind. How funny movies play with our emotions. Did you tear when He lost Wilson?
Funny in the sense that we think about how we could actually tear for a non-living thing - a coconut seed. Was it a seed? I can't actually remember. But the movie was so beautifully crafted that people felt that pang of sadness, as intended, when Wilson parted. As a companion, the only companion, that He created for himself, so that he can have meaning to live on. How powerful is that? Then we realise the truth. That we human beings, count on one another to live, to have purpose, to smile, to laugh, to think sensible, to not go nuts...
Just some thoughts from listening to the soundtrack... Mmm.. Hope my fellow love-inspirational-music frens hear this. =)
Watched so many movies than I could possibly imagine this hols. Thanks to my sis who can rent DVDs for free each week from her work place. But unfortunately not all movies I want to watch are available in their library...
Well, I had not really done any serious drawing since exams were over. All I had were random sketches, usually while over the phone, but too little to make any of those sketches sensible. Probably cuz I did too much sketching last semester break. Or maybe nothing is challenging me anymore. My sketching skills is always where I make it to be, having never been to any sketching courses or lessons. *sigh* How I wish I had proper sketching and painting lessons so my sketches won't look so fake and my painting won't only look good from far. Did more clay works though, but stopped recently too. Nothing seem to interest me long enough. Maybe breaks are good. Or maybe I just have to give myself more time.
I finally miss skating by the beach so I went to rent skate again. But I know that feeling may not last long as the thought of carry those heavy skates around cast doubt on me. Sometimes I wish I cld just skate to wherever I want to go. But the thought of falling down and landing somewhere miserable extinguish that thought as soon as it surfaced. I really ought to polish my skating skills. But as usual, sports for me is recreational rather than serious. Between playing, watching and avoiding sports, I would be at the "Watching" position of interest. Same for music. Reason? I can only guess that I was never really born for music or sports. I never really properly master any musical instrument or sports even though I'm interested in many of them. But Art is different. It's somehow in me; it comes naturally. Since I never really had to 'memorise' or 'think hard' before I draw, that's probably the reason why I never stop drawing. You can say, I like to do what I can do well. Same for rock climbing. That's the only sports I feel I can do slightly better than average without learning - if there's anything to learn at all...
Camp is the next best thing to look forward to. Camps are always my 'vacation'. You stay out of house a few days and play like you are on holiday. Just that this time I think I've to go home everyday to sleep during camp since it's impossible for 4 gals to share one bed without sticking our foot into each others' faces (i really don't want to imagine that). Anw, I can't believe after calling about 63 people, I still had to do more callings. I've to admit it's really boring. I sorta hope I wun need to call anyone anymore after 63 but well, I can perfectly understand that there seems to be no one else better than me to do the callings... And there is the mass dance as well. The last time I rem doing that was in JC 1. I thoroughly enjoyed it then. But now, the thought of mass dancing again seem weird, probably cuz I haven't been dancing for SUCH a long time. I hope they do something fun.
Have been burying my head in a book recently. Nice to go back to reading. Always love it. And sometimes i wonder why i don't enjoy studying as much as I enjoy reading. I always find excuses to get distracted while studying, which is horrible. Bcuz everytime the results come out, you are just hoping for the best, thinking about how much time u wasted, and how much better you might have done without wasting those 'times'. It doesn't help when professors have expectations of you too. Luckily not many questioned my results this sem, though it's still the same overall cap thru all 3 years, just that it did dropped from previous sem, due to one ONE module... Aiks. >.< Yet another thing to look forward to: Exchange. Well, I have no idea what it will be like. But all I know is at least I have frens there to fill in lunch times.. Or perhaps not if timetable is different... Let's just look on the bright side. =)
I can be said to be laid back sometimes. Even though I have dreams, I may not be as motivated enough to take time out to fulfill them. Excuses include too busy, too difficult, may be dangerous, leave it to next time etc. But now, it's now or never.
My Childhood Dreams (including current updated ones, some of which have been done!): 1. Sit in those theatre which seats can move again (Don't know wad it's called but know it's very ex!) 2. Paint natural scenery on my house walls 3. Play with Dolphins 4. Learn Fencing 5. Ride horse in a wide grassland by the lake 6. Travel to the Grand Canyon and paint a picture of it (need to take up oil painting courses) 7. Playing Cavatina (from The Deerhunter, by John Williams) on Guitar 8. Learning some kinda Dance cuz I love things that can express feelings 9. Writing a book 10. Giving a motivational talk in front of many students (This is difficult for me as I have always had stage fright, just that I've slowly overcome it over the years through forcing myself to volunteer for presentations and as emcee for events = ) 11. Travel to South Korea, Europe, Greece and National Parks around the world
Little things that I have done, of which I am very happy about: 1. Lying in a field and watching stars in the middle of a windy night (During primary 5 camp when sleeping in the tent was too hot, my friends and I decided to lie outside and feed the mosquitoes) 2. Skating 3. Playing Guitar (learnt it in JC though I've forgotten how to play it now. Someday I've to pick it up again else will waste my good guitar!) 4. Joining camps (Most memorable camps were in Pri 5, Sec 1 going to Sec 2 and JC orientation) 5. Organizing School Events (Bash, Oweek, SEP orientation, Dean's evening) 6. Getting Hair and make up done free by professionals (who sponsored events) 7. Started a small business doing things that I enjoy doing with my sister Can't think of more for now!
