Well I just watched "
Last Holiday". It was good. Come to think about it, I always say that. When was the last time I said that something was terrible? Let's see what movie I didn't like... Oh oh oh, "
Bratz the movie". I hated the misrepresentation of ethnicity in that movie. The actresses who portrayed the Asian and Latina characters were anything but Asian and Latina respectively. It's not racism that Asian actress should play Asian character, but when you put an
angmoh in the role, it's called insensitivity. And maybe blindness.
And yes as usual I digress.
"
Last Holiday"! What would you do if you found out you had only 3 weeks left to live?
A friend of mine celebrated his 20
TH birthday yesterday. Well, sort of "celebrated" to the best possible extent when one is stuck in army camp. Anyway it got me quite emotional, because it means that my birthday is shortly after. Then
I'm going to be 20. That's old.
Forget 3 weeks! My gosh, 60 years doesn't seem to be enough for me to do what I want to do! In my mental birthday calendar, it's like, okay, now his birthday is over, next is Frances' birthday, then mine, then it'll be another friend's birthday, then it'll be my mum's birthday, then blah blah blah, then it'll be CK's birthday, and so on, and soon it'll be my birthday again. And we're going to go on and on and on and on until we all stop having birthdays, i.e. die.
It's a scary thought, okay. And you know what? I'm not going to wait until I have 3 weeks left to live before I decide to do something about my life. I'm not the kind to deprive myself of the good things in life (I eat more than enough chocolate to know that), but there seems to be something more out there. Somewhere out there, there are things to be done, eaten (well why not?), felt, seen, heard, loved and
lived.
I'd love to fly to Paris this instant, but I've got school tomorrow. So in the meantime, I could do something about the other things in my life. For starters, I'm going to conduct an online search to see what jobs there are out there. Frankly, I'm getting tired of saying "I don't know" everytime someone asks me what I'd like to be in the future. Time to act upon it.
