Letters from Iwo Jima - the companion piece to Flags of our Fathers

Flags portrays the American viewpoint of the battle of Iwo Jima, while Letters shows the Jap viewpoint.

it was nice, but not as nice as expected. i thought that Flags was much better. nearly falling asleep halfway through proves my point, but i think i was just too tired. haha.

anws this sem sucksss :S

and so CNY is over (actually not exactly huh, still have 12 more days, but that's beside the point). it was fun after all :) despite having the sad reminder that i've loads of work to catch up on constantly replaying at the back of my mind.

guiltless gobbling of new year goodies, excessive driving (whee!), ban lak (or however you spell it. not very lucky this year! lost moneyyy boo hoo), family photos, laughter - LOADS of it, spicy oatmeal prawns at grandma's place (OMG faints), angbaosss, and a certain silly boy who brought me to Uncle Ringo's funfair near his place (ok la i admit. i PULLED him there) and had a helluva time on the ferris wheel. hee :)

kids once again! it's good to let loose and not worry about incessant things once in a while :)

my brain is completely filled with images of clothes hangers right now. i'm not kidding. haha. am doing a project on hangers for engine. pretty fun, i must say, but weightage of 45% for a project is no laughing matter.

and happy birthday chuan!!

current squeeze - John Mayer! hurhur.

"Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down

Oh I'll never know what makes this man
With all the love that his heart can stand
Dream of ways to throw it all away

Oh Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down

Oh twice as much aint twice as good
And can't sustain like one half could
It's wanting more
That's gonna send me to my knees"

sometimes while reading my notes, i can't help but stare at the pages and pages of words and wonder if this is all worth it.

my future seems so uncertain. so bleak.

i can't do anything else cos this is what i'm interested in, and what i'm good at. i really hope this works out.

anws was reading eleen's blog about the old man in american idol who dedicated a song to his wife who passed away 2 days before his audition, so i decided to try searching it on youtube, and omggg i cried like mad. so so sweet!! :(

You Belong to Me
See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
Just remember, darling all the while
You belong to me

See the market place in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me

I'll be so lonesome without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
And blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me

and you're so silly you make me smile :))

Stone Sour's Through Glass

I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
Oh God it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

How do you feel, that is the question
But I forget you don't expect an easy answer
When something like a soul becomes initialized
And folded up like paper dolls and little notes
You can't expect a bit of hope
So while you're outside looking in
Describing what you see
Remember what you're staring at is me

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
No one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

How much is real, so much to question
An epidemic of the mannequins
Contaminating everything
We thought came from the heart
But never did right from the start
Just listen to the noises
(Null and void instead of voices)
Before you tell yourself
It's just a different scene
Remembering it's just different from what you've seen

I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
And all I know is that it feels like forever
When no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

And it's the stars
The stars that shine for you
And it's the stars
The stars that lie to you

I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
Oh God it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

And it's the stars...
And it's the stars that lie

HAHAHA!!

anws who's as excited as me about the upcoming Harry Potter movie??? :D
