How is "great" being graded on? Did everyone who watched it/read it really understood the intentions of this "great story"? I'm not sure myself, if I've fully comprehended and sympathised with Oskar. Which it did made me kinda sad thinking about it (haha seriously), cos that means I wasn't able to grab hold to the message that Jonathan Safran Foer was trying to convey through this story. But, is a "message" always necessary in a story? Ha, contradicting myself.
It's like, the author had wrote the story seriously and honestly, but the readers, us, didn't do the same as we read it.
I think that's why journalism is tough. Writing is tough. You never know how much the readers receive through your writing; if they had used the same amount of feelings as you had in writing them to read them and think through your words, just as you had thought through these same words when you penned it.
The miscommunication, the misunderstandings, and the mistakes in life. Oh well.
"There are no mistakes in life!" - FDR in This Means War.
I can't understand that line....... Anyway to side track, "This Means War" was good hehe. I love how Hollywood films, the humour always comes from those quick lines. If you've caught it, good for you, you'll be amused. If you missed it, then you really just see the film as "action-packed", maybe. Haha okay and Chris Pine was hot, I love Reese Witherspoon, and I finally remembered, Tom Hardy is the guy from Inception. The one that could do disguises. HAHAHA OKAY. Btw I would choose FDR too, towards the end. Initially I would take Tuck, because dates at theme parks are a lot more lovable than drinking/dancing in a club, okay aka clubbing hahaha.
Anyway,
I went back to read my entries from my livejournal (which new friends will never find out hahaha). Then I saw the extracts from 'Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close' I posted.
But a friction arise between Nothing and Something, in the morning the Nothing vase cast a Something shadow, like the memory of someone you've lost, what can you say about that, at night the Nothing light from the guest room spilled under the Nothing door and stained the Something hallway, there's nothing to say.
What if the water that came out of the shower was treated with a chemical that responded to a combination of things, like your heartbeat, and your body temperature, and your brain waves, so that your skin changed color according to your mood? If you were extremely excited your skin would turn green, and if you were angry you'd turn red, obviously, and if you felt like shiitake you'd turn brown, and if you were blue you'd turn blue.Everyone could have know what everyone else felt, and we could be more careful with each other, because you'd never want to tell a person whose skin was purple that you're angry at her for being late, just like you would want to pat a pink person on the back and tell him, "Congratulations!"Another reason it would be a good invention is that there are so many times when you know you're feeling a lot of something, but you don't know what the something is. Am I frustrated? Am I actually just panicky? And that confusion changes your mood, it becomes your mood, and you become a confused, gray person. But with the special water, you could look at your orange hands and think, I'm happy! That whole time I was actually happy! What a relief!
I honestly think this these 2 extracts are one of the most impressive stuff I've read. Besides A Primer For The Punctuation Of Heart Disease. It's funny how when you understand it, you feel so much.
Nothing & Something, they always overlap. There's always something so subtle that connects them together, and yet, "there's nothing to say". This subtlety makes the relationship confusing and thoughtful; creates a thin line between the two. Should I cross over? But it's dangerous. So in the end, no one makes the first step, for the fear of falling. When ironically, in the first place, they two had already fallen (for each other). It stays like this, in the end, "there's nothing to say".
This chemical water invention is wild. If I could look at my orange hands and think, "I'm happy! That whole time I was actually happy! What a relief!", that'll be great. On the contrary, what if we look at our brown hands and think, "I am feeling low. Oh my god I am sad. Oh my god, my hands are brown, my life is dull and smelly and... I am sad." Seriously? Do we really wish for that? Do we really want to know, for sure, what we're really feeling? What if we have more days of brown hands than days of orange hands? What if we are so bewildered that we can't tell between Orange and Brown? Then our Happiness will be stolen from Sadness; our Sadness will just be a lie Happiness told?
Idk why but thinking about this story makes me.. incredibly sad. However, it had its funny moments that you go, "oh shit that was actually a damn funny statement haha bloody genius." Though I thought it was even sadder when I found the sadness in the humour. Like, because I'm so sad that I'm even laughing at myself for being so sad and my sadness has ultimately become, a joke. Times like this, should we be sad that our tragedy is so pathetic that it has turned into a joke that no one is going to treat it seriously, or should we just go along and laugh over it?
HOW ANNOYING.

Lol okay, on a complete side note, I can't wait for the full pv of 'wild at heart'!!!! Hehe
笑って泣いて生きて行こうぜ Baby
誰かの決めた自由はいらない
そしてここではないどこかへ Someday
背負い込み過ぎたら 捨てて行こうぜ
明日は明日の 風に任せ
何が起こるか 誰にも分からない
今を 生きる だけさ Let's go 」
Like we're tumbling through this life that only happens once
Let's go on laughing, crying, and living, baby
We don't need the freedom someone else decided on
And then let's go to somewhere else that's not here; Someday
If you've been burdened by too many things, throw everything away and let's go
Tomorrow is tomorrow, just leave it up to the wind that blows
Nobody knows what will happen
We're just living in the present; Let's go
^~^

I've taken all the fliers that people passed to me lately!!! hahaha I felt so happy when I took it, though I am still troubled that I will be throwing it away 5 metres later when I see a bin. But anyway, I'm sure I would have made that person happy too, for taking the flyer from them. So, yay! ^~^
I've also made sure that my hair doesn't smell sour in the morning (do you know that disgusting smell of your pillow sheet that hasn't been aired for 6 months??? YES, just in case a lot of you people don't realise... YOUR HAIR STINKS IN THE MORNING. Especially if you have thick, long hair, and you turn and your hair flies, or the wind blows through your hair... omg obviously you won't be able to smell it yourself, but oh hell your hair stinks like mould. I had so many school/class mates who had this problem and I just swore to myself that I will never allow that to happen to me. "Too much hairwash is bad for my hair," aiya shut up lah that's just your laziness cracking up a brainless excuse. I'm sure there are shampoos/conditioners that does "damage control". It's all up to you to take care of your hair, which should be on the basis of first, keeping it clean and hygienic. I do understand that certain hair types do not necessarily require daily washing, like it doesn't become greasy or something, but seriously, do you really believe your hair is clean even if you, say, haven't perspired the whole day you were out? I don't think the air in Singapore is like the air in Yunnan. And also, we are lazy to dry our hair - manually, not naturally. It's a fuss, isn't it. And did someone say "too much of the hairdryer is bad for my hair"? I'm sure if you force the hot air into your hair and demand a COMPLETE dry hair, yes, your strands will end up fizzy and dry and on the verge of breaking. I thought an 80% dry is fine, then leave the rest to dry naturally. At least it wouldn't be dripping wet and oh my god... has anyone thought about how much dust will be stuck to your wet hair??? eww. So we don't wash our hair in the morning cos the drying's troublesome and time-consuming. Well anyway you can't smell it yourself so you don't give a damn, and/or, you have not even realised that your hair might stink.
YUCKS OKAY SO MY POINT IS, I will be committed to waking up earlier so I will have time to dry my hair with the hairdryer.

People need to shut up about Jeremy Lin and the "Linsanity" shit. You may continue to spazz and go wild if he wins a ring and a trophy.
