Movie Review: 500 Days of Summer

Watched this movie some weeks ago at vivocity.

The movie is really not a typical love story. The ending wasn't good, but expected.

The guy saw the girl and like her from the start. After spending some effort to woo her, they got together.

However, they broke up in the end. Although I don't quite understand why the girl initiated the breakup, probably lacking feeling?

Well, the guy could not concentrate on his work and quitted his job to find a job that suits his expertise. In the end, when he thought he had a chance to be together with the girl again, he found out that she is getting married.

What's meant to be yours will be yours.

Meeting the right person at the right time? I am not sure about that.

Anyway, during that period of time, I was disturbed by a failed relationship. A few years of being together is no joke, yet everything can still end. END. If it isn't going to work out, then why be together in the first place? Does understanding each other fully take that many years? After understanding fully, you realise that person is not suitable, and then end the relationship.

Maybe it's cos I am old, so a few years to me is a big deal. Or maybe I am a perfectionist.

Time Machine

In the middle of the night, I am meeting the never-ending deadlines again.

Suddenly I missed the good old times again. I used to think that JC life was rather stressful, but now is worse. Secondary school life was not bad, but I had some obstacles too. I wonder 5 years down the road and I look back in time, will I remember anything about university life?

I probably will unless there's something wrong with my memory. But what is really worth remembering? The deadlines all crmaped together? The readings that always make me sleepy? The lecturers? The very little friends/project mates of mine?

I wish I had a time machine, so that I can go back in time and experience my younger days once again. Those carefree days and those sincere friends... Sigh... Even my body was younger and stronger. =D

It wasn't that my uni life was not carefree, in fact there are times when my uni schedule are more relaxed than last time. But I still do not have the sense of belonging.

Talking about friends are even worse, I only have a small group of friends, unlike the big group of lyes back in the JC times. We also seldom have gathering unless it's schoolwork related. But well, at least they are sincere.

There are many other project mates I knew due to the projects I've had. Most of these people are rather normal and 'hi-bye' friends, but some are quite bad and they appear to be extremely friendly with u. Why? It's because they will need help in individual assignments and often ask for your assignment draft so that they can copy references or even content. -.-'''

The worst kind are those who are free-riders in project groups. When the submission date is here, they will keep rushing u to finish the project while they MSN, FB, online shopping during discussions and put the blame on u when the final report/essay is not up to their standard. If they are so good, go ahead and do themselves!

All these aren't seen in JC, maybe cos we only had 1 project work and the rest are all tests and exams. In secondary school, the system was similar to JC so no problems as well.

That's also the reason why I wished for a time machine, to go back in time and cherish my friends more and work harder for every test and exam. But such things do not exist in real life, so what's the point in wishing?

So long since I last updated this blog! I think I am lacking motivation and mood to blog, since most days are about the same.

We had a lyes gathering to celebrate farewell for CY last weekend! There were photos taken but I have yet to find time to upload them on facebook, let alone here!

I already forgotten to update the movie list and I missed out some movies in between. Lol. I really should make up my mind to continue this blog or to completely close it down as I am not updating it!

I shall consider.

Sick and still Sick

Last wednesday was bad. Woke up feeling like crap, and didn't want to go for lecture. I really should have believed my instinct.

Went to a doctor after lecture and was diagnosed with fever and flu. Since then, the fever comes and goes.

Visited another doctor on saturday morning to get a stronger med for my stubborn cough. Fever was gone. =) But had to visit another doctor again at night cos the fever was back.

Day 4 and still burning.

So many packets of med to take.. But the good thing was that I was given MC!

Feeling rather drowsy. The med must be kicking in. Still have so many photos to upload..

Will update soon.

I can't seem to post photos on blogger. Weird. Is it just me or is it blogger?

Anyway, school semester is starting again tomorrow. The teeth on my left side are still aching. Even painkills aren't helping much.

I am not sure what's causing the ache. Maybe it's the food I ate that are irritating my teeth.

The drowsy feeling is back. Shall go rest.

Will try to post some unglam photos soon.

Day 1

It's our month-niversary.

It's also the day of surgery. =S

Mr TT and I set off early morning to eat breakfast. He had to get leave to accompany me to the surgery and bring me back afterwards as requested.

Downstairs


We reached rather early in cab, so we had to wait awhile.

When it reached my appointment time, they called me in. I was given robe to change into and a bed to rest.

Waiting...


Mr TT getting bored too


When the wait was over, I was called in, alone. Everything was in a fast pace. They made me lie on the bed and started preparing me for it.

I was given a jab on the hand and some gas to smell and off to dreamland I go.

I heard some voices calling me and realised I was being waken up. I felt some gauze in my mouth. Wow, it's over. It is really over!!!

Choosing general anesthesia was really a excellent choice. No need to go through the process of seeing or hearing anything I don't like.

They wheeled me out and I saw faithful Mr TT standing outside that door. I was drowsy for sometime before being able to get up.

My 8 teeth are gone just like that!

My Teeth!


Unglam


There were more ugly photos, but shall leave them out.

After resting in the bed for an hour plus, I requested to get out of the place. The nurses made me drink the ribena before removing the needle off me so that I can change back into my clothes.

The event took the whole afternoon. After that, we went to Crystal Jade for porridge.

The food




My food was plain but I can't feel anything with the numbing feeling on my lips and gums.

Taken in CJ


My face was swollen and numb.

So it was home after dinner. The rest of the day was spent eating medicine and sleeping.

It was awesome that I can't feel any pain yet, due to the numbness in my lower lips.

This whole thing was much better than I thought!!

Father's Day

Last Sunday was father's day. Thus, Mr TT and I went out with my parents to eat a simple dinner.

Tofu


Soup


Bitter Gourd Chicken


Fried Mee Sua


Yam Ring


The food looks quite nice but the taste was only average. Mum still said the food here is nicer, but I think the food we ate for mother's day was better.

Going back visiting my mum is not as enjoyable as usual. She is extremely pessimistic and hard to get along with as she ages.

She kept bugging me whether had we taken a cab home. Everytime we go visit her, she will ask that same quiestion. Seriously, does it matter?!?!?! As long as we visit her, does it really bother her so much what transport we took???

She bought durians home for me, without telling me. Mr TT is one of those who disgusts durians, so none for him. I had swollen gums and none for me too. She was mumbling about the fact that I can eat and drink salty durian shell water later on. I know myself well enough to risk shoving down those heaty fruits and get myself in trouble. She also kept mumbling that Mr TT don't like durian thus nobody will buy for her to eat. In the back of my mind, I really wanted to tell her there's no relation in those two events. If she wants to eat, we will buy for her even if Mr TT cannot stand the smell. But I kept quiet before I explode at her.

She also bought me 3 packets of instant noodles as I had gastric pain the week before. I know she is being nice to me and I should appreciate that. But she gives me a look that hinted that I am being ill-treated at Mr TT's place. When I was living with her, whenever I had gastric problems, she didn't care at all. So why that motherly instinct NOW? It's not as if Mr TT will ignore me when I am sick, at least not now.

To top it off, she keeps asking why am I asking my dad for money when I told them it's for paying school fees. I only ask for $300 and dad is fine with it, but she keep bombarding me and assumes I am using it to visit the dentist. She really has her own way of thinking huh?! Just because I told her about going to the dentist to do filling doesn't mean I need to cheat my dad for money. I can jolly well show her the damn receipt for school fees. If she thinks $300 is enough for my dentist visit, sorry, no. I ask my dad for money as Mr TT and I had some other plans for usage of money and I do not think it is fair to ask him to pay for my school fees.

All along in my family, she is not the typical motherly person, nor the loving wife of my dad. So what's with the sudden change now? Just because I am married and she sees the need to leash me like a pet so I don't forget her? .......... Or because it's dad and her against me the married-student-daughter who ask them for school fees? ............

This entry really could have been written in a better tone, since I am happy that I celebrated father's day with daddy this year. The problem is mummy is getting on my nerves, thus a need to vent.
