Must really thank Jaren for indirectly convincing me to stay home and recover. Already over one month of medication without results. So I decided I'm just going to stay home till I recover. Seriously. Jaren actually already missed 1 week of school, in 1 week of sickness. That's when I 恍然大悟. What the hell am I doing? Go school for what? Am I afraid that I can't cope with the post recovery? Am I afraid I'll be left behind? All this time I thought I was doing the right thing and persistently going to school. I wanted to perservere, 持之以恒. But I can't. No matter how hard one tries, you have to look at the bigger picture. Sometimes, your just doing the right thing at the wrong time. All those animes like Naruto and Bleach (Yes X that's what I read on Onemanga) and movies like Rocky try to teach people that workhard = good results. Not true. Its much more complicated that that. Its like the show Big Bang Theory, some character tried to create a 'friendship algorithm' to make friends lol. Anyway, there a lot of factors to getting good results. I'm not saying working hard is bad, its just not the only thing you should be looking at. Some people may disagree on this, and that's fine, because you aren't suppose to believe everything I'm saying. Just like the commentaries on the newspaper, you can't agree with everything. You have to think like a conspiracist. OK I'm digressing lol.
Anyway, some of you might be wondering what I've been doing at home. No? Fine! I'll just say it in case. To the characters in the show (if they were real), they'd probably guess I've been watching Big Bang Theory because my mind was on the matter, and its more probable that you recount recent experiences. Its about a group of physicists, Leonard, Sheldon, Howard and Rajesh, that work together in a university and their lives after a failed actress, Penny, moves in next door. The show kind of appeals to me because my character probably leans towards the nerd side, or in comparism to other people more likely. The characters, although pretty extreme, go through common problems and display traits similar to an everyday nerd. Maybe you'll understand if you watch it.
A lot of shows we like appeal to us because we can relate to the characters in them or hope that something like that happens to you. That's why most guys don't like chick flicks, because they aren't girls. That's why most guys like Transformers, because they hope some hot girl is going to stay with them even though they don't have a chance given normal circumstances. By the way, I don't like Transformers. I think the story is Cliche and the acting SUCKS (Maybe its just the louzy script). I actually agree with that John Lui guy who critics movies in the Straits Times and rated the movie 2 and a half stars. I think I would have given 2 stars at best, I think the sequel is worse. Another thing I don't like about it is because so many guys watch it! OK there's nothing wrong watching sleek cars turn into shiny big ass robots and battle to the death with so many explosions you can get a seizure while staring at the hot actress who coincedentally loves cars and nerdy guys. I'm just saying, why do they like these kind of movies compared to movies like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or Schindler's list? Maybe cause social norms dictate that adolescent males must like pretty girls and nice cars. I'm just saying. Some of you probably have never even heard about those two movies because they rarely get advertised and don't have multi-billion dollar budgets or fancy 3-D like Avatar.
I like those shows that challenge your mind, make you contemplate, change your mindset, reflect and discuss with friends. As my secondary 1 english teacher Mr Hamilton put it, what make good stories is that they make you think! I mean horror movies make you scared and more often than not you'd rather not think about them. So I don't see the point. I mean some people may argue that the frightening is to test your bravery with friends and share common chills with your friends after the show. That's all fine. I just don't get why people my age don't LIKE historically based, trivial, brain teasing or meaningful shows. That's all. I guess people have different interests. I do like some conventional shows too, like Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes, because their based on meaningful books and seeing helps you visualise and enjoy the read even better. I also like comedies, cause I prefer laughter to screams of fright. If you ask me what my favourite movies are, the first few that come to mind in no order of merit are: the shows mentioned earlier, Sicko, Ace Ventura (LOLS), Troy, Burma VJ (thanks Mr Khoo!), Lord of the Rings (hate Frodo though), The Last Samurai, Batman: Begins and Dark Knight (A bit hippocritic there, I apologize lols), Shaolin Soccer, most documentries, most PIXAR animation movies and Pirates of the Caribbean. I have many more that I like even more than the above, but that was just to give you a taste in what I like anyway. I hope to watch 500 Days of Summer and Inglorius Bastards, heard their great. You'll notice I like a lot of fantasy.
Anyways other than that, what I did mostly includes playing computer games or reading since they are both relaxing to me. I think I beat my hiscore at bookworm lols (3hrs with some eyebreaks 8D)
From Hebei Baoding, China. Have no idea why my buddy not e-mailing me anymore, she could help me practice my Chinese lol.
