GOD, you know what I was doing for the past 20 minutes?? Wasting my time on Friendster and looking through every single profile I came across! Admiring their nice, glossy, floaty hair! Wishing I had nice glossy floaty hair!
YES I WAS DOING IT until I caught myself and went
OH MY GOD LINGGA, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? Have you no life at all?! And I panicked and went to the first url that was at the top of my address bar. Which is of course my blog.
(as if blogging is a very constructive thing to do anyway)
I am ashamed of myself T_T
Yeah well. I miss my hair. I was looking through the photos in my phone and I had nice, shiny fringe. LOTS of fringe. Now I have wispy fringe. And practically no hair at the back. It looks weird in a ponytail. And it's a wispy ponytail. I DON'T WANT A WISPY PONYTAIL.
And the hair on top of my head feels dry and frizzy. Think it's because the hairdresser snipped off so many layers, all the layers that used to be on top which absorbed the vitamins got snipped off, leaving the below, drier strands in their place. And also because I have so little hair, it's very light. And hence they float up. In a wispy way.
God, I'm obsessing over my physical appearance again. 'Tis an unhealthy obsession. Must refocus.
So many people asked me how the movie marathon went. Well, we camped out in the music room to watch Constantine first. Barely 30 minutes later everyone was shivering and wrapped in their jackets. Or assortment of PE shorts and t-shirts for our group. Being one of the first in the music room, we had our pick of floor and our choice was quite near the dvd player and the screen. It was quite awe-inspiring to look behind and marvel at the sea of students camped out behind us.
Some smart guy had brought his sleeping bag.
Anyway, they showed Hitch next. It was probably the only movie I enjoyed tremendously. I dig Will Smith. However, it was hard to ignore the aching hunger pangs in my stomach. I hadn't eaten anything since 3pm! We were tempted to order McDonald's. But of course too lazy to leave the cosy (if butt-freezing) music room to trek through the deserted school to the backgate to receive the delivery guy. I think it was around 10+, sleep was already kicking in, hence lots of people started going horizontal. Some twit had lowered the temperature to 20 degree celcius again.
We went out to try to get something to eat, and we bought waffles. 3/6 can't cook very well -________-'' I realise I should have ordered toppings because eating the waffle plain really sucked. We got to see Mr Leow shuffling about in his slippers and yawning in the home econs room though, cooking chicken wings for 3/6. Coolness!
Premonition was next, some Jap horror show which was pointless and immensely crappy.
See, the movie's about a newspaper that can predict the future. Needless to say, it's a bleak future. This family of three is on a holiday when their car stalled. The dad goes to the nearby phone booth to call for help when he spots a square of newspaper lying on top of the telephone directory. He picks it up and oh, guess what! It's an article about a car crash claiming the life of a little girl, and of course it's his daughter. So he's like staring at it weirdly when the mom gets out of the car to go to him, because the little girl's seatbelt is stuck and she needs help. After she's out of the car, this truck rams straight into the stationary vehicle. The girl's still alive, but she screams for help, and her heartbreaking cries (irritating to me) are lost when the car bursts into flames.
Oh, there was this part which really freaked the hell out of all of us. The mom's friend had died in a trail derailment accident, and the mom was supposed to have died with her, but because the dad found out and pulled her off the train, she escaped. They're at her funeral and the mother of the friend is like wailing SHE DIED WITH HER FACE TORN OFF WAH. Anyway, Nicky was like "I don't think they will show us the picture of her face right... too gross already" and next thing we know, the dad's in a corridor with this female figure backfacing him some distance away, and he's like staring at the figure when she suddenly TURNED and every single person in the room (except for those asleep)
screamed and grabbed each other and screamed some more. It showed her face completely torn off. Bloody hell. Before the figure turned right, I was looking at her back and going mentally, Eh doesn't this look like the friend who died-
AHHHHHHHHHHH. DOTS LAH.
Anyway, the end of the movie was nonsensical. It repeated the accident 3 years ago like FIVE times, with the dad in different places each time. The first time he's back in the phone booth and he dashes out to the car, drags his wife away and makes her sit down, and he runs back to the car to grab his daughter. He struggles to free his daughter (though I was wondering why the heck didn't he just push the red button that releases the catch of the belt), manages to get her out of the car and the mom stands up and gets knocked down instead. The poor woman.
And it keeps repeating and repeating. SAD LIFE MAN. He was in the truck with the unconscious truck driver once, and he had to watch on as he rammed into his daughter. We were all, just kill yourself and end it all, my God! If I were him I would smash my head against the phone booth and die.
Anyway, the last time he managed to get the daughter out, but he's stuck in the car himself. He actually LAID his head down in the car, closed his eyes and said something like It's over... And he died of course. I seriously think he would have died of exhaustion rather than being burnt in the fire. It was so DISTRESSING to see him redo every scene in that accident, my heart went out to the poor man! I mean, what did he DO to deserve it? After being freaked out and traumatized by so many events that happened just because he was unfortunate enough to pick up the newspaper, he dies in the end. UNFAIR WORLD! And stupid movie.
Second movie was A Lot Like Love, because we didn't want to watch Boogeyman. Went to Inspiretonwn to watch it, where there were lots of people sprawled over comfy couches and beanies and cushions! T_T So envious. I wanted to grab someone and throw him off so I could sit down.
A Lot Like Love is lousy. I fell asleep 20 minutes into it, I think, after I just couldn't force my eyes to open to watch the screen. The only reason why I even bothered to open my eyes in the first place was of course because of Ashton Kutcher! But even Ashton wasn't enough to save it. I mean, there're only so many times you can look at him, and he's not even single! When I woke up, Ashton was cheering with his buds or whatever, and I managed to catch the scene where he belts out I'll Be There For You by Bon Jovi to Amanda Bynes. The one in the trailer. Yeah watched the ending and then we returned to the music room to watch Hide and Seek. Jia said the floor of the music room is, surprisingly, more comfortable than that of Inspiretown. Because Inspiretown is carpeted and the music room is all hardwood.
Hide and Seek's not too bad. If you remember, it's about this dad and her daughter who keeps talking about her imaginary friend Charlie. And Charlie starts to do some not-so-nice things around the house. Yeah well, "Charlie" is really her dad. And her dad is really a PYSCHOPATH who murdered her mom because she was having an affair, and made it look like she committed suicide. Think the poor girl saw it all, and the dad made Charlie up to screw her mind. HER DAD IS A COMPLETE AND UTTER SICKO. He makes the girl play hide and seek with him in the end, and obviously if he finds her he'll kill her, and he goes to her room searching for her, saying "Is she under the BED?" and jabs the knife into the area under the bed, and "Is she inside the CLOSET?" and stabs the knife through the closet! I mean, SHE'S HIS DAUGHTER.
And in the end when the dad is kilked, the girl gets adopted by her psychiatrist, and we think everything is happy again. Then the camera pans to this drawing she's drawn of her and the psychiatrist smiling with the sun and flowers and everything, and there's this other girl's head floating next to her.
.
Just a fucking HEAD. Like, hello, what is WRONG with her?! Why is she having imaginary friends with only a HEAD? I tell you, the dad may be a sicko but the girl isn't very right in the head either. She gouged the EYE out of this other girl's doll! And Dakota Fanning (the actress who played the girl) has the freakiest eyes ever. She's totally suitable for horror flicks. SHE NERVES YOU OUT! I think she'll win any staring contests she gets into when she's a bit older (because I don't think kids like her get into fights yet), her expression can make you feel so UNEASY.
Anyway, I closed my eyes through the middle of the movie. It was only when the screaming began and the sound effects started getting hyped up then did I open them and sit up to watch.
The last movie was either X-2 or 2 Fast 2 Furious. Since I already have X2, we packed our stuff and went to our last stop, Inspiretown again, to watch 2 Fast 2 Furious. I was planning to rest my eyes, because I'd been wearing my contacts for like 24hours I was expecting my eyes to pop out. Jia snagged a beanie and I shared it with Wen and her.
The movie was bloody noisy can.
I must have fallen asleep for some time because the movie seemed to end fairly quickly. When I woke up it was still playing, but nearing its end, and practically everyone in the room had their eyes closed.
When it ended we made our way home where I fell asleep and woke up at 3pm.
I rather enjoyed it... but I'm not eating waffles for the next 3 months. And not sleeping on ground for at least half a year.
