Oh gosh. My finals are less than 6 weeks from now and I'm finding it so hard to pick up the books. We just completed our mock exams last week and I must say I did really badly. Shit. We had a week off this week and it has been a very very very unproductive week. I'd go as far as opening the books and notes, look at them for an hour and I'd just go off and do something else. Argh...
Unproductive in terms of studies. But somehow, I could find all the drive to work out and exercise. I jogged almost everyday this week, did push ups and even went swimming. If I could find the same sort of drive for my studies. *heavy sigh*.......................
Speaking of exams coming in December, I'm reminded that I have not much time remaining to achieve one of my new year resolutions - to get a girlfriend. Haha...girls are just so hard to get them to fall head over heels for you these days. Competition out there is just tough. Even those that are closest to you would go against you. Sometimes it's just unbearable. But at times, someone has to be the bigger man.
How time flies. I could so clearly remember sitting in NE-3-12 for MUFY Orientation last August and look, it's been over a year now. I've quit MUFY and soon completing my second and final sem for CAT. CAT's orientation and the first day of class lingers well around my mind these days. Haha...Thinking of all my friends, how different they are from my first impression towards them. Time really helps you get to know a person. I seriously love my friends from CAT Group 1.
So much has happened this year. Should I do a recap? Hmm...maybe during the year end. Haha.
I could damn well say that I'm a changed person because of CAT. But who doesn't change? I'm seriously cock-talking now.
Okay okay. Seven Pounds! I just watched the movie last night and I must say, it's really moving. That's what I like to find in movies, I want to feel the movie, I want a movie that gives you a warm feeling, a movie that is able to spark an emotion, any emotion. Okay, I'm not gay. It's just how I honestly feel. I enjoy movies with a story, whether it's simple or interesting. I simply love movies with a strong story. Movies like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Seven Pounds. Of course, I do enjoy action packed movies. All the better if it's action packed with a great storyline like Inception.
I'm going way off course here. Back to Seven Pounds, Will Smith is one of my favourite actors, so it was enough to get me to stick to HBO to watch the whole movie. Okay. Spoiler alert here, don't read if you wanna watch the movie. It's about Tim Thomas who caused an accident that led to the death of seven people, including his fiancee. A year later, he sets out to atone for his sins by helping seven truly good strangers. Well, not seven strangers, one of which is his brother who has lung cancer and Tim donated a part of his lung to him. He gave his house to an estranged mother who has an abusive boyfriend and two kids. Donated part of his liver to a nurse, his bone marrow to a kid and his kidney to a hockey coach. He gave his heart and cornea to a woman and man by committing suicide after getting to know them. Guess there's no better way for me to really explain than to watch it yourself. The part where Tim killed himself with a jellyfish in the bath tub full of ice, really moved me. There must be so much mixed emotions Tim suffered as he sets out to help people but knowing that he'll kill himself in the end. How would you feel if you were in his shoes? Would you really be brave enough to do it? I don't think I would...but it's really arbitrary.
Watch it. Get touched. Haha. Be driven.Check this out...
Right after our mock exams, the girls are back to their studies. My gosh, where do they find that sort of drive...It's after the exams! Don't you wanna sit back and relax?!
And the boys.......Yes, yes, deep in thought with their 'discussion'.
If only I can be like the girls from the photo. I NEED to be studying!
