eh.
lets see ive been working, driving, random outing-ing, movieing, booking, stumbling.
i'll elaborate:
-working. last week i earnt like $330ish for working 14 hours on public holidays and 4 hours normal. the rate was like $21.23 per hour for the public holidays. i was like WATTHEHECK when they gave me the envelope hahaha. unfortunately i will never get this much pay for such little work ever again...well not for a very long time at least.
-driving. i think ive done 6+ hours of driving? pretty happy with what i've done: kerb stopping, front on parking, reverse parking, 3 point turns, sharp turning, etc. but all the parking was without cars haha i dont know if that counts, but i'm way too scared to park WITH cars atm.
-movieing. okay so i saw tron legacy 3D (which wasn't THAT good and spotting the 3D bits were like hunting for endangered species at night whilst wearing sunglasses. except the credits. the credits were the most 3D bits of the entire film).
i also saw hotel rwanda which is just...ugh...reminds you of how messed up the world is, and how lucky we all are about wat life we entered the world in. seriously its just like blood diamond without the diamond. and its so true wat they both say. people document these things by writing or filming about these areas and they broadcast it over the news all over the world. people at home watch the tv and think "oh no, thats terrible" and then go back to their daily lives. people honestly dont do anything about this sorta stuff and its sad.
*spoiler alert*
i guess we cant help wats going on with genocides like in rwanda, but we can help with wats going on in blood diamond. even though the film portrayed a happy ending where the journalist gets all the information she needs to bust the van kapp (i think) company out, they still say at the end there are still tons of child soldiers and conflicts over diamonds. they say if you're getting a diamond you have to make sure its conflict-free.
also a lot of people don't realise this but all the electronics which are tiny yet process a lot of information (especially touchscreens like the itouch, ipad, touch phones) contain this really rare mineral (it might be a diamond i'm not sure) in which many africans are killed over. just because of that mineral.
and who is to blame? us. because we fuel their incentive with the money we pay for this sort of stuff. its sooo ridiculous.
anyway, lets turn this around to a happy story, just don't forget about what i just said =P
so i've also been rewatching disney movies cuz my nostalgia is just burning so incessantly. i was about to rewatch peter pan but the version diwan gave me was like....not english. i dont know WAT it was, it didnt sound like french. maybe spanish? no idea. but that was a real pity.
so instead i saw cinderella and man, i cant believe i forgot about all the songs in there. i forgot about "bibbity bobbity boo!" and "so this is love" and the little mice! love gus gus! =]
can't wait for hercules, which i shall watch soon after this =P
-booking. i borrowed "we need to talk about kevin" from the library, and yes. that is the title of the book. it's about this woman, eva, whose son killed 7 of his classmates and 2 teachers two years ago. now she is writing to her husband, whom she is separated from and discovers wat went wrong in her relationship with her son.
right now its pretty boring, i'm only like 55 pages in (out of 468). i guess its the style of writing. you can tell eva is like RELLI educated and that sort of stuff unappeals to me, but i dunno apparently it's good so i'll keep reading and see how it goes from there.
-stumbling. not too many this time (it's an insanely long post):
