I had a great time yesterday, muahaha. Went shopping with Zhen, Huiwen and Angie. Some things which made the outing memorable: Huiwen's $109.90 blood-red stilettos, her jia lor mee, Yizhen's mom who cracked us all up, Angie's hot hotpants, and 3 for $5 earrings! Met my familt at Suntec for dinner after that, and HAAGEN DAZS FONDUE IS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT. It's like indulging in sin itself. Wahoo! Met Jen at the Esplanade, so good to see him again! I miss SG 16!

And today, I watched Johnny Depp on television, in the Curse of the Black Pearl. Man, I love how he's so... bendy. Okay, I don't know the word to describe his behaviour, but he's like swaying here and there, as if his whole body's filled with some sort of lethargy, oh, but it's all very deceptive. I love how his facial expressions are so versatile and intense; they can switch from joking and laughing to complete anger (not really the right word, again) and utter seriousness in a matter of a minisecond. I wish the storyline would focus a little bit more on him and less on Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley's love story, it's a bit boring and cliched. Ah well, I should think I'll definitely be catching Dead Man's Chest. Two magnificent films (I'm assuming the second one will be good, judging from the little snippets here and there), all from a ride in Disneyland! Amazing.

I've been pondering a lot over this, not that's it's particularly thought-provoking or important, but I was just curious. What if he liked her all along, but he didn't know that of course. Maybe they just thought they were good friends. Then on that fateful day, or rather, evening, when she got to know his friend, and they started going out, I wonder how he felt? Although he seemed as if he expected them to go out, I wonder if that's really true? What if he realizes he likes her? Now it's a bit too late, they're already together. What if he has a million things inside of him, left unsaid, and unable to be said? Wouldn't the regret eat at him every single day?

I'm just wondering, really curious. If only I could take a peek into his mind.

You know, Jevan just told me something which didn't occur to me before. It so happens Nanyang has a marking day tomorrow, and tomorrow at 1:50am happens to be the World Cup finals. Is it a coincidence or what? Hahaha.

I read two short stories by Murakami today that were absolutely enthralling. His stories are all indeed odd. They keep you engrossed completely for the time you are reading it, but after you finish the story, you can't seem to find anything you've learnt from it, or any glaring life lessons. It seems as if there isn't a focus or point in his story, yet the story stays with you in your mind, vivid and forceful. He has a way with words that many authors would kill for, I reckon. With a few simple choice words, he can paint an absolutely clear picture in your mind, of the scene he is trying to portray. He's a genius like that, and I'm going to read more of his books before he actually goes down under my list of favourite authors. I should think reading his books comes with practice; the more you read, the better you understand his style.

I look at all these people and I don't understand how they can operate so quickly. It's beyond me. Am I stuck in some old-fashioned age, and if so, why? I have very definite and firm beliefs in certain things, and this is one of them. I would like to understand their psyches better, I'm really puzzled. Would you enlighten me?
