MIA

Heh... Just realised that I had MIA from blogging for more than 1 month... Maybe it's because I'm busy... Maybe, after the last few blog, started to wonder if blog really works for me... Maybe, maybe, maybe...

Anyway... I have to say this... I am looking forward to getting my Star Wars Trilogy DVD boxset!!! Finally, after so many years (well, I did get the VCDs, but these will not beat the DVD! Was too young to have $$$ to get a Laserdisc player and the Laserdisc version... Maybe I should - That's the only original version left!), so long of a wait... more than half of my current life time. To think this was one of the first few movies that I have watched... Wait, let me quantify that... It's one of the first few English movies that I have watched and left a hugh impression on my "fertile" mind... I think I have not come across any 3 movies that I could say I can watch over and over and over again... Heck, I even know the entire storyline and I think to almost every word they said in the movie... Ok, maybe the famous (or rather infamous) ones... "I think we're in trouble" sound very familiar isn't it?

Yes, yes... by now you should know that I am a Star Wars fan. I may not be as fanatic as some, like collecting action figures and all that, but I am a fan. Hey, you got to be a fan if you can watch it over and over again without feeling tired of it, like some of my friends... They just could not figure out why I just love watching it over and over again.

Going back to the "fertile" mind... You know why I term that? Simple... I would have at least a few nights of nightmare if I was to watch any horror or gross movies. You know those in the older days when I was about 4 or 5 years old, the chinese movies, then, to be of either very bloody show like the police movies where you see lots of blood; or those black magic movies, where you get to see maggots or serpents/snakes in the belly of some dead person (which signified that he was "cursed"). The best part of it all... You had no choice! It's not that you can don't watch... Especially since you are dragged in to the theatre with your parents, and they don't have anyone at home to help them to look after you...

There you hide yourself on the floor, behind the front seat... But surrounded by the sound from the movie, yet at times, you are so curious that you pop your head out to see what is happening. Yet, when you saw those gross part, you shut your eyes and hide behind the seat again... But the image has been imprint into your brain, thus allowing it to manifest in your sleep into something that becomes your nightmare... Sad, but true - till today, I refused to watch any horror movies - never did, never will. So please leave me out if you are going to watch those kind of movies... Maybe it's silly to some, but hey, I rather not risk it, especially since I had not had nightmares for a very, very, very long time - I don't think I want to ever again!

Haiz... Movies... Used to watch at least 1 movies in 1 month... By now, if I can get to the cinema for a movie within 6 months, that's good. Hmmm... That reminds me... I have to get to the cinema for Bourne Supremacy before the run ends... It sad, but nowadays, I don't seems to be able to find people to watch movies with me... It all started with this rule by mother that I must not watch movie on my own (don't understand why... but well, it's her rule) and since then, even after so many years, I had to catch movies with someone, and I would feel very odd if I was to do it on my own. Which means... I don't get to see much movies then. Why? Simple, the movies I want to watch, friends would have watch it already before I even ask; or they don't like to watch those that I would like to catch; or they want to watch those that I don't want to watch... Of course, the other reason is that they tend to watch it with their boyfriend/girlfriend/hubby/wife... So poor lonely me, would have to either skip it, or with the feeling of oddness, watch it alone...

Sad, but true... Oh well... Must watch it by this Friday... Darn, that means got to watch the midnight timing... But morning got to send car for servicing... ARGH!!!!!!
