Keeping the faith.
I like watching movies, because it gives me hope. Of how things might be. And an avenue to see how lives can unfold, even though its not always too close to our reality. Damn. I wish I weren't so silly, idealistic, and dreamy. Then I could, maybe, somehow, be happy. More easily. But well, good things don't come easy, that I know. Haha. Well, not to everyone, anyway.
Hmm. Been damn restless recently - I hate this term's Week 12 and 13, it's just so gross. It's not right to have to stay home the entire weekend to work on reports, it's just not. Worse to be in school yes, but ah well, we're ALL miserable lah, really. And people wonder why I'm so incensed when they say something like 'party too hard ah' when I seem tired and damn bloody stressed. True, I went to Union on Friday and danced like mad... but seriously lah. One night of fun amongst an entire week of hell? Don't tell me that's not normal.
Haha. Mehhh. Can't wait for term to end. But I bet when it does I'll miss the people and everything. Won't miss the damn project reports and presentations though! I hope internship will be fun... and erm, I hope I can get one, in the first place.
Okay hmm... shall share something I wrote in counseling class 2 weeks ago out of sheer boredom and restlessness (on the back of a Union Square and an Ice Cold Beer receipt, hurhur.) -
"Strangers in a still photograph... You know nothing about them, besides where they are, what they're wearing, what they're doing. The girl - in an orange bikini, and the guy, in a blue and white singlet. You can almost feel the electricity in the photograph. And you think, you almost know these people. It doesn't matter who they are, what they do, what their names are; because for that moment in time when they were caught on film, you know. And feel. What they feel. You know, what they know.
By the fire in their embrace, the way they touch, the way their faces tilt and the way, their lips meet. Their passion forever encapsulated, frozen in time, shared with strangers, who wonder who these beautiful people are, and why they are there. And wonder, how a single picture can touch the lives of others; inspire dreams of love, of past hopes, and future promise. And then, you hope for the best for them, and hope, that someday, you would have such a beautiful photograph which would make others feel, too.
Ooh and I want to watch Paris, Je t'aime! It looks pretty and nice, as most French films do :) Don't close yet, please!
