First Day of School.
Skipped whole of CBC214 to get HW.
Felt depressed about my GPA.
Then cheered up when mummy finally said yes to Edinburgh!
Excited now.
Skeleton-planning my trip (Already?!).
Thinking of going couch-surfing.
But results for application not out yet.
Still excited!

Love and Other Drugs
Topped my "Most Disappointing Movies" list. The trailer was good. The cast was good. The plot seemed different from other sappy romance movies.
But the movie was really bad.
1. 50% of the screen time was Jake Gyllenhaal having sex with another woman. (Or one scene, "women".)
2. There was no development of characters. It was just them meeting each other, making love then suddenly Gyllenhaal becomes successful and then, they fight and make up. Every plot, character and detail was just vague and and loose ends were well, tied flimsily together at the end of the movie.
What made Jamie (Gyllenhaal) love Maggie (Hatteway)? I still don't know.
Was Jamie really that a great guy as Maggie said he was? That wasn't explored.
Even the reason that Maggie broke up with Jamie wasn't even explicit. It was just "Since you can't accept who I am, we need to break up." And next scene, Jamie has packed his stuff and the only protest he's got is "We don't need to do this."
However , it does have some good points...
1. Introduces you to the pharmaceutical industry. (Its competitiveness, etc.) And perhaps a little of the reality of the medical industry.
2. You get to see Gyllenhaal and Hatteway naked.
So, if you're intending to watch it. You might need popcorn. For the lousy plot which you just frown upon and just wait for Hatteway to appear in the movie. (Which is a good 30 min or 45 min into the film.)
I really hated it. Girls, please download it in Funshion and watch it. But don't go to the cinema. It's not worth it.
Oh, oh! For people following the colourful love life of Taylor Swift: http://www.disneydreaming.com/2011/01/16/has-taylor-swift-already-moved-on-from-jake-gyllenhaal/
She has no right to write Dear John, because I feel she is just as bad.

21 and single.
How does that feel like?
Sometimes scary, sometimes nonchalant.
Scary because I see no prospects of becoming attached anytime soon.
Nonchalant because I figured I have no need of a boyfriend.
It's kind of an oxymoron - I don't know if I want one or not.
When I see happy couples hand-in-hand, I admit it does stir a warm longing ache. I mentally scroll through my mind, for the suitors that I can accept. But a latch always locks the door and say "Never settle for less." And by "less", I mean anything less than "the one". I don't know if he even exists.
But when someone shows signs of interest, I have my defenses up. I'd concentrate on the negative traits (or rather, traits I find undesirable) of the person. My mum thinks I should at least give them a chance and go out on a date or two with them. But why give false hope when I've already decided? Will I change my mind if I go out with them?
The awkwardness and the slight feeling of disgust (Why am I doing here with you?) when we have our meal. The fake smile and the fake sparkle I have to plaster on my eyes. The cringing look masked as a laugh. The internal voice in your head that goes "Oh what a turn off. What a turn off." as I think of his "undesirable" traits.
That takes up a damn large amount of my energy. And in between this energy I waste, there's only 0.0001% chance I am able to see something nice about him because I'm too busy filling my self-pity bucket.
Oh why are you slouching, so uncertain of yourself? TURN OFF.
Oh why are you so egoistic, you male chauvinistic windbag? TURN OFF.
I only see the two extreme ends of the spectrum.
Or maybe, the problem lies with the male! Not me.
Can't they be more creative? A date constitutes to 80% of the male population as dinner + movie.
For goodness' sake! If you want a date, shouldn't you do some research?
Dinner + movie is pointless! Half the time I'm sitting in the dark (feeling vulnerable) and you're not giving me a chance to know you more, idiot! Do you think we'll talk during the movie?
We'll talk about the movie if we have dinner after the movie. And if we have dinner before the movie, most of the time is spent to break the ice.
And most girls only give guys that they won't consider one date to prove themselves. So good luck to you if you ask a girl out for a D+M date.

GAH. Anyway, bff, at this rate I'm going, you'd better not be married when you're 30!
