This Year's Such a Rollercoaster Ride.

:( :( :( I got C for PW. Like what the heck :( :( :( I put in so much effort into it... and I'm rewarded with C. I'm guess I was really unlucky to get that supervising tutor of mine. Totally useless.. and the person makes you think as if you're doing fine... when actually the person doesn't know what the person was doing. Even though the person tend to write more comments on my works compared to others', I realised now that they were still pretty useless too.

Anyway, I must overcome this sadness and move on with my life! Well, I gorged myself with Ben and Jerry's yesterday. I'm pretty sad that my weight now is 67 kg :( normally it's 65 kg. Soooo... I shall start doing my routine night exercise again (which includes a lot of crunches). Eh I read somewhere that actually it's more effective to exercise at nights, which is rather coincidental haha. Interesting huh.

My freelance photography job is coming to an end. I just have to send them an invoice and high resolution pictures. I'll write how much I'll get soon :) Anyway, I'd really want to save up this money for GYLC. Since I still have the feeling that I won't get much sponsorship (though I haven't started writing sponsorship appeal letter for GYLC ^^'). Speaking of sponsorship, the sponsorship appeal letters for the Batam Trip had been sent to some places, and two had got back to us. One says no (in a nice way), the other's answer was rather vague. "We had started processing your request". Hmm.... hopefully that means good.

This year is such a bipolar year. When it's good... it's really good. When it's bad... it's really horrendous. My Mom told me that a person born with Snake horoscope face lots of obstacles in the year of Pig. Haaaaaaa. I guess that explains some of the things that have happened so far. There are a few points this year where I just felt like crying like crazy. Whether it's about school stress or about friendships, well it happens sometimes. I guess it's good to let off the emotions if you can't take it anymore.

Last weekend, I finally watched Lost In Translation (again). Contrary to someone's belief, I fell in love with it all over again. It's sooooo beautiful and such a creative film! I noted a lot of technical and actors' expression now that I watched it again. I'm happy that I've chosen the correct movie to start with my movie studies :) One thing that really amazes me about this film is how the director can convey intimacy between Bill Murray's and Scarlett Johansson's characters, who really have a platonic friendship between them. This is especially conveyed in this scene, which is one of my favourite:

Notice that Scarlett's leaning her feet against Bill Murray, while Bill Murray is touching her feet, showing some sense of closeness and friendship between them.

I watched "The Namesake" on Thursday. It was fine until the last 3/4 of the show, where it became very very very very very draggy (until 4 people left the theatre halfway). It's like, "Oh the movie is gonna end." And it doesn't. Then again, "Oh the movie is gonna end." And it doesn't again. This goes on until I gave up wishing the movie is ending haha. One question that left me pondering too is what's the moral of the story? I mean yes, it's mainly about the understanding of the choice of the name of one of the characters. But is that all? Anyway, other than that, the movie is extremely visually appealing. Maybe I shall revisit the movie to study its technical aspects. However, my favourite scene of the movie is when the lady puts herself into the shoes of a prospective bride, who lives in America. I think that scene really speaks volume, despite not having any word uttered. Without the draggy ending, this movie would've been a fantastic one. 6.5 stars out of 10.

I'll write again soon :)
