Thought Of The Day: that's the funny thing about romance. if you had to ask for it, it takes away all the romance.

ikan besar

as usual i woke up at 5pm today and missed a lunch appointment with my mother....so disappointed in myself. i haven't had a proper meal with my mom in almost a month. i'll probably do it sometime soon though...i think she feels as if she's already lost me. but she knows that i'll be here if she ever needs me and vice versa. she offered to help me fix my car cause it was erm...damaged due to some idiot who hit it and didn't leave a note. i parked my car in the basement carpark at my office and when i came back down it was dented so i'm assuming the guy who parked next to me is an idiot. so my car will be in the workshop as of tomorrow. thanks mom!!!!

anyway...i ended up veg-ing out in front of the tv (which by the way is one of my favourite past times) and i watched a movie entitled big fish. it's doing really well in the States but apparently most of the people i know has yet to hear about it. it took me awhile to digest the whole movie but after all the pondering i figured i liked it more than i thought i would. when i first heard about the movie i thought it was made for kids...some spy kids kinda show but it wasn't at all. it's more of an inspirational drama/comedy and it kinda reminded me of forrest gump.

went to watch cold mountain sometime last week. i must say that jude law is definitely not worthy of the Oscar this year with a performance like that. but heck...i had a whole lot of opinions on who should win last year and the year before that but none of my predictions were right. seems as if the academy is not about the performances or the movies anymore...it's more about the politics. they had that whole african american thing when denzel and halle won for best lead roles...then before that there was that international movie by roberto benigni that won best motion picture...and the list goes on. i used to enjoy following the oscars up until the year that beautiful mind won for best picture.

i have to say that i have some weird taste in movies. i like to watch a lot of independent films and most of my favourite films aren't those that have won accolades from the general public. most of them are unknown to the mainstream viewers. but then again...i have weird taste in a whole lot of other things....clothes...music...food. i guess my parents really screwed me up for life.

high of the day....that first ciggarette i smoked at precisely 5.07pm.

low of the day...bidding farewell to a friend who's leaving for melbourne tomorrow night.
