The Other Women

So I phoned A at 5.13 p.m. and asked if she wanted to catch a movie. Her reply kinda amused me. "Movie? Winks." The emoticon on whatsapp emerged in my mind. We got the tickets probably twenty five minutes before it was shown. Ahh, I had missed commericials in theatres, especially GV's because they have the longest. It was yet another typical Hollywood romance comedy but it is always one of my favourite genres! I still love Cameron Diaz albeit she has aged so much. The story plot is pretty fluid and while the ending is way too predictable, I thought it has kept me constantly immersed and amused. The part Kate puts on the wedding gown and breaks down as well as the scene she throws the rings away into the sea really touched me. "When is this going to end?" "This is going to suck a lot, and then suck less..." The scene that portrays the Statue of Liberty thereafter is quite apt. Freedom. Once you let go and decide to move on, you gain freedom. That's definitely a lesson to learn. I really like Carly's character. Strong yet emotional, witty but genuinely nice to friends. After the movie, A asked if some lines in the movie would make me more doubtful. I honestly think that being skeptical is no longer an issue. For a skeptic is one who has doubts but probably retains some faith to prove him/herself right or wrong someday. I thought so. But me? I don't even have any faith left to begin with. Oh what an irony...

P/S: Let's pray for the people in South Korea.

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…
