Take the map and point to anywhere.
I don't care
Fingers through your hair and the sky I've seen is blue and green.
Oh, the summertime
It's barely "spring".
This brings up some kind of nostalgic feeling for memories I never had.
It's such a pretty little thing though.

"You don't want to waste the music."
"Represent, represent. CUBA!"
I almost forgot all about Alfie! It's not as bad as the critics say, truly, even though I am probably largely biased. Some bits ARE touching. And it's the critics' own fault if they want to be all sniffy and stuck up about the original. Haha. They just want to sound intellectual, that's all.

Though my job isn't too bad- even though the pay is peanuts. The people are pretty nice (even though they speak Chinese all day long. But they are extremely bilingual when needed, which I really admire.) At least, it's sort of relevant to what I'm interested in (books, although they are SCIENCE books) and it'll look pleasant on my resume next time. :)
Someone just assigned me some fresh tasks to do. (Hooray.) Got to go. I'm seeing Alfie in person today! (Baofei, please check out the latest issue of First magazine.) There is an abundance of lovely movies due for release next year, so I better start saving up. Who wants to see The Aviator or The Sea Inside too, please contact me!

I went to visit St. Nicks today! And I forgot to bring my camera! Argh. Anyway it was really something to go back, though you can't really feel much of yourself there anymore after six years. But it was good. And I REALLY miss the canteen. Between four of us we probably spent less than 10 bucks in total and we bought like seven plates of food plus drinks. Yum. It's still as good as ever, and almost all the stallholders are the same, even the teh tarik uncle! I want more mee goreng. Sat around talking about the old times, mean teachers, nice teachers, silly crazes, lost memories. Ah. And quite a number of my old teachers were still there. My pri 1 teacher took one look at me and Ning and Mel and she remembered all our names (sort of). She's pretty fantastic. And it was fun to look in the science lab and see our old science teacher still there. I feel very very old. I miss pri school. I don't actually remember studying very much. But then again six years fogs up your memory pretty badly, I must say. And it was cool because I realized this place I kept visiting in my dreams was the corridor outside the gym! My dream state remembered it better than my conscious state, haha. It's like it was left in a dusty corner of my memory that I didn't realize was still there.
Garden State isn't a perfect movie, but it's still an important one. Actually flawed movies are more fun- it's great to sit around arguing how it could have been better. And you actually benefit more from that. It was a pretty good effort on Zach Braff's part anyhow. It's sweet. And the soundtrack does the talking. Do catch it if you get the chance.
Happy 2005, and though this is painfully cliche... Good luck exploring the infinite abyss.
