Wordy thoughts
Not good, been rotting at home for the past few days and only going out for meals/church. Oh, and just dropped the results bomb on my mum just now.

Don't know what got over me seriously. Normally I would try and hide as long as I can till one of them asks. But this time was different. I was whining away and fussing over my grades on the phone to Keefe/Leanne from 2am onwards (where the grades were sent to our hotmail), and my dad was there and heard every single word. -_- So as usual he was giving comments and blabbering away on how I should focus. Same reaction from mum, just less naggy.

So anyway, today (wednesday) I had this horrible dream. I was in SP for some reason, and suddenly I saw Miss Nga in the staffroom and she talked to me.

Miss Nga"I think your ad was super nice and creative."
I was super sad but replied "then why did you give me a B+?!!!"
Miss Nga "cause of your tagline..."

I was thinking like omgareyoufreakingserious?! Then I thought I gave some stupid tagline, in the end it was the one which I got the idea from Converse. Cheebong, Converse ok! Then I woke up feeling arghomgwtfjusthappened. Yes, I cannot get over the fact I got a B+ for DB. B+B+B+. I decided to live in denial and blame it on the group project. Now that I think of it, could it be because I use the same design for the web banner?!! Okay whatever. Its LONGGG over, I should just get over it seriously. *slaps self*

Watched 2 moves yesterday! First time ever watching 2 movies in a THEATRE in a duration of one day. First one was The Time Traveler's Wife with Radha Curry Calamari and Dhea. Throughout the whole movie, Dhea and I were like "Omg!! Why is this missing? Why is that missing?". If you read the book, you'll be kind of pissed because they really did exclude a lot of things that were mentioned in the book. If you didn't, you'll probably be confused about what's going on then you just forget it and continuing watching it and think its a touching romantic story blablablah like what Rad said.

Can't continue as I've read the book so can't really describe the movie.

Next one was the movie Surrogates which is going to be released tomorrow. This movie is about how humans are connected to this machine. The machine helps you control your Surrogate, which is a human-looking robot that you can customize their looks. So basically everyone owns one and controls them like every single hour, and of course there are always some who opposes robots and there are human-only zone around the world. Soon people started dying from their machines and the police force is like in a big who-ha about who is causing it. For that part go watch it yourself, but I shall just spoil the end. Then someone causes all the surrogates to shut down, and people who are stuck in their house comes out to the bright sunny city all in their bathrobes wondering what the heck just happened.

What I think the moral of story is robots can never ever take human's place. Sure they can help us do shitloads of housework or dangerous stuff. But eventually if we let them take over our lives, we start to lose human habits like haptics. And we start to develop a fear of going out, the fear of facing the "dangerous world". We would all just be stuck in our rooms on the machine contolling bits of metal pieces.

Okayyy enough of the words, pictures soon!
