when you are mean to somebody, the assumption is that they will dislike you, not freaking develop a crush. wtf

anyways, the pace of BVC life is picking up (they just had to squeeze in two assessments before the december break). which unfortunately means less time for frivolity. but i still managed to squeeze in the first two books in the twilight series.

after reading the book though, i felt that the books were very amateurish. like i was reading someone's draft and not the real thing. too many loopholes and implausible stuff.

but i must admit i quite liked the movie. robert pattinson's portrayal of edward is probably why twilight became famous. not the books themselves. because if im not mistaken, people only started reading the books after the movie came out.

yes, i am quite quite disappointed with the books.

but it isnt gonna stop me from reading the last two volumes. because im completist like that. wtf

whoops, its dinner time. gtg have dinner then do my reading (study related).

mild horror

if u are like me and like to watch films that scare or disturb you ever so slightly, then i would recommend that you watch thirst and hansel and gretel.

when i say "ever so slightly", i mean ever so slightly.
not those kind of horror films that make u stay awake all night because you are too afraid to sleep. but more like it makes you just a little jittery and when your imagination gets the best of you, you keep thinking about it. but no scary ghosts or overly gory scenes (nudity in "thirst" though).

hansel and gretel is a must watch. its not particularly scary at all, but it makes you think a little. plus the cinematography is beautiful ;)

btw, both are korean films.
"thirst" won the Jury Prize at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.
"hansel and gretel" was shown at several film festivals.
just to ensure you that im not wasting your time =p

weather, studies, bento, an upcoming birthday.

i just noticed that i had 808 posts, last count.
how lucky :)

anyways, winter is definitely gonna be a cold one this year. its only the beginning of november and the weather hasnt risen above 10degrees this past week. out comes my winter coat! which btw matches my backpack. pictures maybe next time :)

***************

there's loads of work as usual, i had a consolidation week not too long ago, but that was barely a break before hitting the books again. not that the week was supposed to be a break (it being for consolidation and all ya'know?).

***************

i started bringing packed lunch to classes a few weeks ago. and thankfully, have managed to keep it up until now. im doing this for several reasons:
1) i was reading a couple of bento blogs and they were soo inspiring. here is one.
2) money. i was spending too much on ebay, and i had lunches out nearly daily. so i had to start saving moolah. (but then again, i started spending on bento making stuff ie. rice moulds and chopsticks in a case. wtf)
3) weight. i had put on weight, and i didnt like how i was beginning to look. plus, my clothes are usually fitting, so weight gain makes some of them too tight for comfort or aesthetics.

bringing bentos to uni make me happy though. even if it means waking up slightly earlier to prepare them. everytime i make a bento, i get excited to eat it :D
plus, my bentos are really healthy! so thats good too.

we're celebrating min yuen's birthday this friday and we might be going clubbing after dinner at cha cha moon. im looking forward to the cha cha mooli already! =p
oh, and for those of u who dont know what cha cha mooli is, its basically cha kueh =p

and thats all the updates thats been happening in my very bvc oriented life T_T
