---------------------------------------------


CHRISTMAS IS AROUND THE CORNERRR!!! counting today as tmr (since i havent slept) we are EXACTLY 2 weeks away from christmas. =) i love christmas, i honestly do. it may not have any religious meaning to me, but i love the spirit of christmas, just - literally- for the fun of it! love the joy, cheer, carols (ahh! i dig christmas carols!), etc- absolutely dig it.


so yea, just to indulge myself in the festive spirit a little, i went to re-watch this movie (love actually) which many people have raved about (a long long time ago). i, sadly, on the other hand, never did have as fantastic an opinion of it- that is until today la. i point the blame to!!! a bladder on HIIIGGHH from liquid overdose. oh heck man, my greatest memory of the movie was nothing from the movie itself. it was rather, the way i was squirming on the seat during the final 30 mins of it, wondering "WHEN the blardy hell will it end?!" and also the hillarious mad and VERY LOOONNNNGGGG dash for the toilet with ili, kamielah and a few -i think 3?- other bpians after the movie. (we were at westmall's cinema can u imagine?! right at the end i think! oh goodness...) WOOH! a day of bladder hyperactivity. but osh, i got distracted, my point was simply that, the first time i watched it, "love actually" was farrrrr from being LOVE actually... it was more of a I-JUST-WANT-TO-PEEEEEE-SO-HURRY-UP-AND-GET-OVER-THE-HAPPILY-EVER-AFTER actually (HAHA not funny - but c'mon it's in the middle of the night, give my absent brain a break =D)


but ya, re-running it was nice... =)) it was [generally] the classic uplifting awwww fuzzy wuzzy feeling kinda festive movie.. EXCEPT that i was watching the uncensored version of the movie with some highly disturbing scenes- like seriously- so many many fast forwardings there... i will not go into the sordid details- but ya =S eww gross. as i said, heartwarming on the general feel. i especially like the way the movie started and ended at the same place : Heathrow airport arrivals gate. i'll quote,


“Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at the Heathrow airport. General opinion is starting to make out we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that; seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there- fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the twin towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people onboard were messages of hate or revenge; they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that love actually, is all around.”


awww, sweet ah? other thn the mushy romance stuff, there was also quite a bit of humour peppered here and there throughout the movie as well. billy mack the old comeback singer was always a laugh- "Hiya kids. Here is an important message from your Uncle Bill. (super serious expression) Don't buy drugs. [long pause] -Become a pop star, and they give you them for free." LOLOL rowan atkinson played this part of a salesperson in the movie as well!! "lovely!" oh man, he was damn funny in the way he tormented the poor dude (his customer) ... anyway, me being me, also absolutely ADORE the little boy sam in the movie. =D (*note: daniel= his step dad; sam just lost his mum btw and daniel's really worried cus sam's been crying alot)


Daniel: So what's the problem, Sammy-o? Is it just Mum or is it something else? Maybe... school - are you being bullied? Or is it something worse? Can you give me any clues at all?

Sam: You really want to know?

Daniel: I really want to know.

Sam: Even though you won't be able to do anything to help?

Daniel: Even if that's the case, yeah.

Sam: Okay. Well, the truth is... actually... I'm in love.

Daniel: Sorry?

Sam: I know I should be thinking about Mum all the time, and I am. But the truth is I'm in love and I was before she died, and there's nothing I can do about it. [grave expression wakakaka!!]

Daniel: [laughs] Aren't you a bit young to be in love?

Sam: No. [his expression! LOL!]

Daniel: Oh, well, okay, right. Well, I mean, I'm a little relieved.

Sam: Why?

Daniel: Well, because I thought it would be something worse.

Sam: [incredulous- HAHAAHHAHA u shd see his face] Worse than the total agony of being in love?

Daniel: Oh. No, you're right. Yeah, total agony.



awww!! SO CUTE! =DDD


anyway, the CENSORED version would be recommended =) u should find it anywhere, just don't get it off the net =) and er, if u need more reasons to watch it, it's got plenty more sweet and funny and slightly sad segments to boot, AND!!! AND AND AND AND AAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!! HUGH GRANT is in it!! AHHH!! that's absolutely THE reason to catch it!


so there, be good and watch it to be on the "nice" list ya? =)





grunts off,


SANDY KLAWS!!! [SK geddit?! =D]

Hey. I'm from the UK, and haven't been able to find a censored version of the film anywhere. Do you know where I could get a copy?
Thanks

this is really bad.

I have officially lost interest in sleep. (Or work, for that matter.) Came across an old blog post where i did this huge list of personality tests and decided to do sth immensely useless: hahha THEN & NOWW! XD so here we go, really quick! 1) THEN: Your Brain is 47% Female, 53% Male Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female You are both sensitive and savvy Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve What Gender Is Your Brain? NOW:  Your Brain is 67% Female, 33% Male Your brain leans female You think with your heart, not your head Sweet and considerate, you are a giver But you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you! 2) THEN:   You Are Pretty Logical You're a bit of a wizard when it comes to logic While you don't have perfect l...

Limited time

We all have limited time on this Earth,  and a limited 24 hours in a day. What you choose to pack into that 24 hours, will decide what your life portrait will look like at the end of your road. (Yes, I think a lot about the end of the road nowadays.) I was just thinking to myself yesterday, if i applied the "rise of the guardian" concept to myself, what would my core be? I had wanted it to be love. I had thought that love shouldn't be limited. I had thought, that I would be able to dedicate a certain share of love to all the people in my life, who needed the care at the point in time when they do. I had thought, that my heart should be big enough to welcome as many people in as possible. Because ultimately, at the end of my road, I want to breath my last breath smiling, knowing that I have made a difference to people. I had thought that was possible, but i forgot that while my heart can be limitless, my time can't. In trying to be everybody's friend, I have fa...

End of exams.

i don't feel much about the end of exams actually- i guess that is a signal that perhaps i didn't work hard enough and build up the hunger for relaxation while mugging, hence i don't feel the surge of relief. Ah- i miss that feeling much actually. next sem will be a better sem. YES IT WILL BE. -------------------------- Preceptorship will commence on the coming Monday. I am rather excited about it, and I look forward to a time of learning and actually applying the knowledge that i have learnt in school. I believe if you ever meet a pharmer undergrad, you will hear the same unanimous complain about how there doesn't seem to be a meaning in doing what we are doing. How it feels like we are simply dead memorising the cold, hard, facts. How we all disagree with the system and feel that university education should be about thinking- and how it's been a long time since we last did more of that. For me, the curriculum has honestly entrenched certain doubts in this career p...
