So the weekend has finally arrived. Some interesting things happened this week. On Monday, I had to go to the Habitat for Humanities office to book the Batam slot. Their office is in Tanjong Pagar.. which led me to wonder if it's near Maxwell Food Centre. You see, there is this shop which sold nice Pisang Goreng in Somerset, but then it closed and moved to Maxwell Food Centre. So, I was really excited to go and buy the pisang goreng. On Monday morning, I was still not sure if I was that desperate to go and buy the pisang goreng. I really didn't know how far it'd be. In the end, my desperation got over me, and so I took 15 mintues walk from the office to the Food Centre. Ahh, once I bit the pisang goreng I thought it was all worth it... until I saw the address of another branch in the paper bag. "Tangs Orchard Basement 1". Hahahahahahaha.
Tuesday was reallllyyy interesting. I've been seeing this ACJC girls in the bus stop for the past few Tuesdays. I've only seen her this year. Then... this Tuesday because we missed 106, so we decided to take a Taxi together. We began to chat...
Girl: "Where do you stay?"
Me: "Leonie Hill Road"
Girl: "Ahhh me too. Which building?"
Me: "Grangeford"
Girl: "What? Me too.."
Hmm the coincidence doesn't end there. We chatted again after we got off the taxi..
Me: "Eh, which unit do you live in?"
Girl: "21-##.."
Me: "What the heck.. you live in Grangeford right?"
Girl: "Yaaa.."
Me: "I live in 21-#%..."
Hahahahahahah... Same building.. same level... and we never met the whole of last year. However, I found out yesterday from one of my friends, whom is also her friend, that she actually moved into the building only in the last half of last year. Hearing that, I feel somewhat less guilty haha.
I realised that now I got soooo many projects :s Let me list down..
1. Geog blog project
2. Econs project
3. National Weather Studies project
4. Science Research Syposium publicity project
I attended a briefing on this project called "Art Kicks Ass" organised by *scape and Singapore Arts Museum yesterday. The briefing was okay, very few people attended it (well, 4 to be exact including me). At first I really don't know what to do for the project.. because you're supposed to do a proposal on your project, and then the organisations will help to facilitate your project. Well, today while having dinner alone I somewhat got some ideas. Haha, I think I'll have to go Singapore Arts Museum first to see what they have there... and if I'm really serious with doing this, I'll have to begin pulling people in. I guess I'll think more of this project once Geog, Econs and Science Research project are over (they'll all be done by week 9, which is like 3 weeks away). By then I'll have more room to think.
I watched Half Nelson yesterday and Little Children today. Two very different kind of movies. Well, let me start with Half Nelson. The movie is very enjoyable. To me, the movie is rather unconventional, in the way it is shoot as well as the circumstances of the story. I guess the handheld shooting method gives a more intimate feel between the movie and audience. It gives the movie a documentary kind of mood and hence adding sense of reality in it. This movie succeeds in weaving different subjects together (eg. social issues, drug issue, friendship). The score and music somewhat adds mood to the movie. Ryan Gosling really brings humanity and vulnerability to the character. His character is somewhat someone whom some of us would have encountered in real life. Overall, a great original movie to watch. 7.0 out of 10.
Little Children in contrast deals with relationship affairs and pariahs of the society. There are two storylines in the movie. One is about a suburban housewife having an affair with a stay-home married man (Kate Winslet plays the housewife). The other one is about a former sex offender being ostracised by the community he moves into. I was absorbed by the movie for 3/4 of the movie. The last part of the movie was somewhat draggy, and at least the ending was okay, except for the ending given to the married man. That ending was rather disappointing. Other than that, I learnt some technical stuff through this movie. I would want to watch it again to write the technical details down. 7.0 out of 10.
That's all for now :)
