well, at least spain won, although through the second half i really didn't care WHO won so long as someone scored something!! honestly i was getting tired, annoyed and agitated at that game.
had a sleepover with joyce, yy, pamela. haha we watched up and then had hot pot, played mahjong and board games, tried to sleep, woke up (except joyce, who cbb), watched the match and then just died after the match finished.
tuesdays watched karate kid!
it was good i guess, a lot of references to the original, BUT very slow moving.
ive made it a MUST to watch the original again, so i have something to compare it to.
hopefully i can watch it soon and make a comparison!
i finally finished cloud atlas!!
unfortunately, it wasn't as good as i expected. the linkage between all 6 stories is...well...very very cheap. haha if you read the wikipedia thing, yeh it just seems even more cheap.
BUT its just fascinating that each story has a different tone, different plot and different style of writing. its crazy. how do you get so...versatile?
there are some good quotes, a few:
'One day' was only a flea o' hope for us.
Yay, I mem'ry Meronym sayin', but fleas ain't easy to rid.
there ain't no journey what don't change you some.
To the starving man, potato peels are haute cuisine.
'Freedom!' is the fatuous jingle of our civilization, but only those deprived of it have the barest inkling re: what the stuff actually is.
A half-read book is a half-finished love affair
All revolutions are the sheerest fantasy until they happen; then they become historical inevitabilities
Books don't offer real escape, but they can stop a mind scratching itself raw
OH, inspired by jesspham, i took up knitting!!!
the last time i knitted was like year 3 when some family friends mother taught me. i tried to make a duck, which consisted of ... 'panels' rectangular in shape. i kept doing something wrong which ended up with several knots, and as a result, not a rectangle but some sort of a trapezium. i quickly gave up no that =P
and here i am! knitting again! i think i got it except sometimes there are obvious mistakes and the last few lines have randomly been longer (don't ask me how) but yes. i shall try to make a scarf! (man that'll take just about... forever) and its yellow because it was originally an attempt at my duck.
oh well, let's see how this goes, aye? =P
thursday went out to city with mum and bro and had pepper lunch and this awesum iced chocolate from a cafe that i forgot the name of. so noice. such a fattening day cuz that was the same day i ate a bunch of profiteroles at 4.30 am (germany and spain match). <3 pepper lunch so much. that garlic and soy sauce is so noice. not to mention that 'special butter'.
genius #21: knitting
as i mentioned before, i started knitting. while i was knitting i couldn't stop thinking of how FASCINATING the idea is! seriously, whoever thought of how to first cast the first row, then continue on and make other rows that interconnect and just hold everything together, its amazing.
one mistake and youll end up with a weird hole or different-lengthed rows. its just, argh, mindblowing.
and then, gosh whoever thought of making a circular needle so that you can knit in circles!! its fascinating.
