it is definitely because i've been having a bad emo self indulgent day (as usual) that leap years ended up being a tear jerker for me. LOL.not too bad actually. script was rather cheesy at times, typical singaporeans trying to be poetic. and the first kissing scene was so bad lol. i dunno what they were trying to do with the million shifting spinning camera angles the timing was off. BUT still i was a sucker enough. it's no where near as profound at the before sunrise/set couplet it tries to emulate, but it is rather cute in it's own way. i suppose it's cause i'm singaporean anyway. wong li lin's acting was good though. there was no problem with the speech or accents there. and she handled the intense scenes/emotions well which makes for a lot cause that makes me, the audience, respond and cryyyyy. anyway i'm starting to sound retarded already so enough. oh and cher got a small part haha. was rather surprised but she did well so good good.
dinner was with chriselle and that regular bunch of nutters. tiffany got us all mardi gras plastic bead bling!!!!! so awesome. i'm so wearing it to the next raver party i go to. when it happens... told chris i'll take her (: it's been our calling since the "morning" days.
service learning was interesting. started out ? i really didn't know what to make of it though i was definitely enjoying the break no matter. but it's turned out to be sth imprinted in my memory in quite a big way? i can't boast of EVER having one of those tearful touching president start charity moments. no young kids, retarded or orphaned, old folks, senile or lonely, have ever moved me that much. but that's not an insult. i think that's just the fact that i reamain disconnected often, operating at a different frequency and assimilating things at a separate level. i get more affected by the psychology and resulting philosophy. which in this case would be a rather interesting turn of events.
the smu people were kinda struggling with the organiztion which was very sad ): cause the visiting activities were draining and the times were mismatched. there was a lot of waiting in limbo in places that were not accomodating enough for such guests. in ms chan's didactic spirit, the question to ask wld be, what would you have done differently?
i always considered it very important to think very carefully about what activities you're planning. cause things should always be done based on how much they are truly helping or making others happy. rather than running through gestures in a perfunctory manner. we didn't think games in the afternoon would work. when we took the old folks back to holland close they RAN off, back home. lol. but we were told they'd be back after a break, however doubtful we were, so we waited till then. and the learning point of the day definitely came from how the late afternoon activities turned out to be a hit, when i didn't think it would. yup i'm very glad to have been proved wrong.
turns out the old folks REALLY like those simple games cause they just don't get to do things like that out of the ordinary. haha typically i would have under estimated such simple station games as being retarded, but they really worked. as a double whammy they actually provided the context for the students to bond and get to know them better cause there was sth to discuss. sth fun to do together. rather than during the field trip in which people just didn't know much what to contribute or comment on. so yeah that's a big thing to take note of if you ask me. and the most humbling thing is that really we wouldn't have known if we didn't go ahead with it.
had dinner with serene and cheryl hoe after that. haha just three in the party, fabulous. but omgsh thai express whoo.... soft shell crab! and serene's reccomendation of that red ruby cocconut ice cream thing. what the shit la i'm just growing fat.
anyway i dunno what else to say la without being retarded. i feel rather clumsy and ineloquent. i'm trapped in my own world sorry :P so selfish. i want best what i can't have. there must be sth romantic in that, i should think.
