Thursday
For a start, i've got an apology to make. I'm sorry for my brainless comment but i really din mean it in any harmful way. i jus din want u to think i'm not counting my blessings again, that's the sole reason i included that. i'm really apologetic if those words din quite come out the way its intended. I feel very bad about it. sorry again.
my first paper tomorrow. Its the most reknown killer paper for my course. wish me lots of luck,i need it desperately. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for my lucky stars, praying that the amount of time and effort put into preparing for this paper will pay off.yes i'm stressed out, and if i'm being cold towards ur sms-es, i apologise for that too.
despite all the mounting stress, i still took a little break last night by watching " Meet Joe Black". Alright, quit screaming at me, i'm din find the show that irritable. but i do admit that there are too much redundancy in the film but ,personally, i think the ending was a pretty gd one. it summarised the theme of the show and leaves the audience some food for thought.
I loved that juxtaposition of the fireworks during the party with death leading Parrish away. To most of us, death is always associated with negativity such as the end,pain, gdbyes and wat not, but here, they actually celebrate death as a new beginning. And there's the phrase anthony hopkins said, " finding it hard to let go? that's life".Aint it a sweet way to sum up the fear we have for death? i remeber keemin had a discussion abt why fear death. i din think its coz we worry if pple remembered us, rather its us knowing that we'll be parted from people we're so familiar with and going to a totally unfamiliar or rather unknown place. That's wat i will fear instead.
The other thing i liked abt the show is that they gave death a face. and oh man! they have to give death such a gorgeous look!*drool!* It kind of normalises death, and made death not that unfeeling and not that scary. Death is just like any other being on the street(except that he's too cute to be true). I like the de-mystifying (is there even such a word?) of death.
I'm sure i've got more things to say, especially the bad things but i think everyone has put the show down too much that i shld instead defend it rather that adding salt to wound, adding wood to fire.
Ok, calling it a day. Wish me luck tomorrow. Pray for me. Thank you very much!
