Death

Was reading a mag the other day when I came upon an article regrding the movie, THE HOURS. I remember watching it last year, all alone in J8. Set me thinking about death. What are we all doing? What are we all fighting for? Are we all just going to school, work, just to pass time till death claims us? What happens then? Where do we go? How do we know? Will we ever know the answers to these questions? Probably not. Then all this war, fighting, bloodshed among ourselves for power, money, etc. Trying so fucking hard for something you're not even sure of getting.Missing meals, missing time, missing fun stuff, missing out on life.....By the time we learn to sit back and relax, it's too late. And yet, I'm ashamed to say that I've joined this bandwagon of people who are struggling so hard, working their asses off, just to be part of society, to be someone, to be accepted. I hate myself for it but I see no way of stopping it. However, I'm trying to break out of myself and take time to smell the roses. Yeah of course, too much of chilling out, kills the spirit. But overworking the body and the mind doesn't bring about happiness.

stuff.....

Well, let's see now....Haven't been doing anything much.....Went for a movie on Fri wit Clarence, Jarrod, Rohit and Jonathan....We caught Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind....First time I actually enjoyed a Jim Carrey flick....I felt his performance was brilliant and I won't be surprised if he got nominated for next year's Oscars....After the movie, all 5 of us walked from Lido to Cineleisure to indulge in some Arcade games...Nearly lost my little purse there...Thanks to Clarence for spotting it in time on the ground. Whenever we walked it felt strange coz the guys are all tall, and I felt like a little dwarf hobbling beside them....Especially walking beside Rohit...... Sat and Sun..didn't do much...Watched Under The Tuscan Sun on VCD....Gosh from how Tuscany is portrayed in the film, it makes a person pray to spend his/her retirement there!!...Today, mon, went to my aunt's place and watched Monster's Inc there on Disney Chan....Oh gawd...I LOVE BOO!!! This is the millionth time I'm watching it but Boo is so adorable that it's hard to get tired of the film...My sister and I were joking abt how cool it'd be if Sully was a real guy coz of his compassion and loving and caring ways....Heh heh....Yeah we're in love with a monster!!

Durian, Baby!!!

burpppp!!!! heh heh..... indulged myself in durians today....Am a die-hard fan of durians..... Whenever the lovely scent is spotted in the air by my adorable little nose, I start to tremble in excitement....My weakness in durian is one of the biggest mysteries I am yet to solve about myself...... Those who know me well, know how death intrigues me. Well, yesterday in art history, Clarence and I studied about the artist named Edvard Munch. He was this amazing Norwegian artist whose intense treatment of psychological and emotional themes became a big influence on the development of German Expressionism in the early 20th century. His work expressed a lot on emotions, depression, fear and isolation. His work, THE SCREAM (below), allowed ppl to feel with the painting.
