OK, Katja is now safe and sound, and thus the class focus was her on how she survived the tsunami. And without any haste, we continue with our work.
Happened to bound into Jeremy in library after the embarassing French class, where Raymond, Ian and i had to read out the french translation which was full of grammatical errors. Of course, u can't expect us to speak bombastic French within 3 wks rite? Help Jer with his corp comm, and in the end he took home my footscap paper, which contains my PCC notes. And of course i am getting it back from him tom, if not, there will be a good show on NYE.
Talking about NYE, Khenglin and Minghao couldn't make it. Sigh...so talked to K.L thru msn last nite, and i told him, i am destinated unable to go for any countdown in my life. Those whom can accompany are Sean Connery, Robrt De Niro and Kevin Costner. K.L gives me a ??? look. This is what i am trying to say: Ch i will had their last repeat telecast cum last transmission of movies, which is The Untouchables, an 1987 mafia crime saga directed by Brian De Palma. After the repeat telecast of 1.30am news, Ch i will cease transmission for good. Sigh... be a couch potato at home. Ah....Ch 5 brings me Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in Interview With the Vampire at 12.15am after Taufik and Sly and Olinda and more in Nation's Countdown. But it's useless rite? Cos i've watched it umpteen times. I can gurantee you, the programme is really like shit. DVD suits my needs better.
Had the thought of watching Naomi Watt's We Don't Live Here Anymore on NYE, so as to have a sad round up of 2004. The title sounds sad rite? 2004 is a pretty sad and tough year, but of course, full of surprises. Just wondering if this is what we called the NYE blues? Was pretty sad last yr that couldn't be in the same class with Jer and Cindy and Louisa and more. Now, it was the project that puts me in such a mood. So We Don't Live Here Anymore sounds perfect. The title itself sounds melancholy,but the plot turns out to be another...what should i say? with the plot surrounds 2 best friends who are married found out that their spouse falls in love with their best friend. (which means guy A from couple A had an affair with woman B from couple B, and vice-versa.) Though they knew it, they do not blame each other, as they themselves feel guilty about it. Mabey by keeping quiet could make them feel better? Only they themselve knows. And goes for Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle on New Year's Day, after hearing how popular and how good it is and at the same time, get my French dictionary.
Well, i am not alone. Jer, who looks like an party animal to me and who went to a countdown last yr, is not going for any countdown this year. He told me that he needs to cheong all his 6 projects. Should i say that i am not alone? Cos i simply do not want Seal's very sad song to do an round off for 2004. This is what i mean: Ch 5 will have a repeat telecast of Entrapment which stars (again) Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones. The theme song was Lost My Faith, a song performed by Seal which was extracted from Human Being, his 3rd album released in 1998. (If you listens to Seal's old song, most of them are sad songs...which makes one feeling low. But somehow the mtv of Lost My Faith looks rather odd, with Seal playing the scenes of Entrapment.)
What should i do? Get myself a decaf coffee at Starbucks or Coffee Club express or having a cheesecake at NYDC cafe, seeing people goes by, celebrating the arrival of 2005? Hey, that sounds so lonely man. Yes, but at least i do not have to face the sad tv programmes on 5 and u. U will be running thru a programme on their past achievements and blah blah blah...and that was boring.
mabey it's just like what Seal sang, mabey i've lost my faith long ago...anybody out there feels the same rite now?
Welcome to the Lonely Partygoer's club, and let's welcome the lonely countdown of 2005. Beers and chips included.
