Total Recall.

Finally caught Total Recall after anticipating it for some time. It was as thrilling as I have thought, however, I thought the plot could have been a lot better. Too unrealistic? I'm not sure if this is a right word to use because X-Men is not exactly realistic as well but I love it so much. Nevertheless, I think Colin Farrell is really an outstanding actor. I can't help but praise his discretion of the role over and over again in my head.

"The mind is often fooled into returning to the past, but the heart wants the present."

I think I remember hearing something along the lines of such during the film just now.
Maybe the past did shape us, and maybe we always want to return to the past thinking that it is better. But perhaps, there is a reason why the past became a past. This is something I never realised. And so it has been proven again, that I like to embrace the past so much that my hands are always too full for the present, let alone the future. I must learn, I must.

I can be so annoying, locking my blog up each time I am unhappy about this world. But there are always people who come back to this space everyday to check that I'm back. I know that, and I'm really grateful. Thank you for all the love and concern.

And,

謝謝你,好人。謝謝你又讓我重新找回自己。

On CNY

This CNY, I realised many things. I realised I have always envied families who go out as a whole for CNY visiting, or those who invite many relatives and friends over. I realised I am very afraid of the coming of CNY because CNY simply means watching movies and slacking at home for me. I love to watch movies, there is no doubt about that. Perhaps I just don't appreciate the latter because there is so much to face head-on. I hate the silence or otherwise awful hurlings at the dining table. I hate how I need to pretend to be hospitable to people I dislike. This year, I hid in my room when people I did not feel comfortable with came, then I was accused of being stubborn and impolite. Sometimes I really wonder if being myself is of imperative or being polite is. Whichever the case, I want to confess that I really feel tired and unhappy this CNY. The worst is that I feel that no one can understand because everyone I tried to rant this to tells me I should go home because it is CNY after...

On campus,

I think even if I were to leave after this semester, I would probably leave with the fondest memories. What more can I ask for? On a side note, I hope and I choose to believe that my true friends will understand, and so I do not want to explain. Today is my best friend's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BF! I know you know I am damn stubborn and rebellious and whiny and spoiled and noisy and choosy but you always compromise with me and give in to me in every way you can. Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! I hope you will always be happy because you deserve to be. I hope you will gamble less so that you can treat me food more often. I hope you will be blessed because you are special :) I know I am such a sweet best friend! 加油了GL,不要再蹉跎歲月了…
