Didn’t do much today..kinda wasted it. Watched 2 hrs of tv even. But I didn’t regret it. Was watching Benny and Joon on Channel i. (okok…I know I’ve sinned greatly here:p) Hmm..gotta admit it was 1stly becoz of Johnny Depp. I really love those eyes of his… Wow…they just burn into u man.. The intensity coming from within is just indescribable.( my idol!!)
But then again I’ve always liked those older films. I feel they have more meaning to them compared to those shallow clichéd films u see in cinemas today. And the acting’s superb to boot.
This film is abt this pair of siblings, Benny and Joon, hence the film name. Joon has a slight mental problem. Hears voices and talks to herself when out of control. Her big bro comes to a point where he has to decide whether to admit her into a health-care home. Enters Sam (Depp) who monkeys his way into their lives when Joon loses a bet wif Benny’s friend. He is an eccentric wif dyslexia who discovers that Joon isn’t as mentally-ill as everyone thinks she is, and finds that she is quite normal. His entry into her life makes her a much happier person and of course, they eventually fall in love with each other. However, big bro Benny objects and throws Sam out. And later when Benny was out, Sam tried to elope wif Joon. She gets distressed, goes out-of-control and gets checked into an institute temporarily. Benny sorts things out in the meanwhile. In the end everyone gets what they want and they live happily ever after.
Pple may think it’s silly to do a film review on their blogs, but I feel this film’s definitely worth being ridiculed for. It made me wiser and I really want to remember it. One of those films I’d want to watch before I die or something. It showed me just how pure, simple and innocent love can truly be. One that is devoid of any evil. One that is true. That it is all abt trust, faith, and the unconditional acceptance of another. Simply beautiful beyond words. Ahh…My Ethiopia.
Went out for dinner wif my folks just now. To Junction 8. It's been ages since i last went out wif them. Really miss spending time wif them sometimes..
Must say i really feel like a savage animal just let out of my enclosure when i saw those BEAUTIFUL clothes. Absolutely fabulous. I think i kinda decided what i want to buy to wear for prom le...and i found de MOst chic-looking belt-chains at Shibuya! (those funky classy chains u hang arnd ur waist to complement ur top tt is. Girls.. i found them 1st!haha..) Really class. Gonna earn my own moolah after exams and buy those i like!! Yeah! Thinking abt wat to do 40 days later just puts me on high!
Must also say the world is really small. i feel so cramped suddenly.(hehe..exaggerate..) 1st i saw Alvin, 35th house captain of Lignum, and this other nj student councillor. (whose name i do not know) Den also saw this old neighbour who was a good family friend when my family was still living in Bishan. One gd and one bad came out of it...
1st the gd: She recognised and remembered my name.
Now the bad: She commented that my looks 'changed'. Hmm...
They used to say i was pretty and stuff, and i was even once the smartest and prettiest girl in class in pri sch... Those were the days man. Holding on really tightly to those compliments i used to get as a child.. Now ppl dun really like to give compliments aldy..not that i have anything to compliment abt anw.. Not for my piano skills that has aldy faded due long time neglect, not for my studies for which i used to get the top positions in the level for, and not for my appearance of coz! (Didnt think i needed to bother much abt my looks since im supposed to focus on mugging anw..) But felt quite inferior after she mentioned it..kept asking my parents if i were ugly afterwards. But im thinking too much i guess. Ppl shld just accept me as i am. Period.
But come to think of it, why do ppl 1st judge things by what they see? Maybe the world wld have been a better place if ppl were less judgemental. Beginning to wonder if pple wld appreciate things and ppl arnd them more if they didnt have sight. Or more to the point, "eye problem". That's food for thot here... Hmm...
Epilogue: oh no!! my E drive opens by itself!!! It's possessed. Shit.
Hmm.. been eating alot nowadays:x I'd better start to strictly watch over my diet before i travel on the road of no return---to obesity.
Kinda got over the severe heartache over my grades already. No time to con't crying over spilled milk. Afterall my tchers have said that they've faith i'll make it. Really love them for not giving up on me. So i figured i shldn't let them down and make full use of my time to do what i can. But it's quite drowsy to con't studying after school though:p Perseverance is the key!!
And It's been a week since my handphone was confiscated from me for doing so badly. Lost all my contact nos and birthday records with it. Cant really say im perfectly fine without it, but i think im doing pretty fine here. Not suffering any withdrawal symtoms whatsoever:p Afterall, it's not the 1st time my electronic gadgets' been taken away from me. It's been ages since i last saw my discman and my antique walkman etc etc. Been stripped of all things electronic. heh... What's the loss of my handphone gonna do to me? No sweat la!
Guess this will do me lotsa good for this most difficult period of my life, so im not complaining!=)
