A LOT has been happening since my last, last post. Don't really like to dwell on it much, but pretty much been holding back emotions and feelings about a certain situation. Again don't like to actually dwell on it. When it comes to situations like this, where you want others to be happy over yourself, is there a line to draw when you've made everyone's elses dreams come true but not your own? I mean, how much can one person give and give to others and nothing happens in return to them? Is it selfish of me to think like that?
Theres only so much one person can hide their emotions, and when the other has reached their full happiness, there's only so much one can take to see how happy the other is. Don't know if that makes sense, but it does to me. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm happy but I'm jealous, of their happiness.
I feel lonely most of the time, yeah your thinking what about your friends? Sometimes even they can't fill the void in me that longs for some sort of happiness. I think I'm making it worse in a way, by continually egging it on, knowing it hurts me. I have that little glimmer of hope though, that someday, it'll be me. Yet that light is slowly dying down to a mere speck.

Late I know
It's been a very long time since I last posted something up, and well I have seem to forgotten to update on my latest movie craze. Can't seem to remember when I watched it exactly but Shutter Island was exceptional!
It had the whole Prestige/The Illusionist twist in the end. Not going to ruin the ending for those who STILL haven't watched it after three or so weeks, but the whole dark and mysterious vibe was amazing. Never seen Leonard Decaprio in such an gloomy detective like film.
The movie was very psychological, creative and well thought out. Every part of the movie was twisted and played out. LOVED, Michelle Williams sadistic side and the recurrance of the quote, "why you all wet baby?". The kids were really creepy, but in a good way.
The acting was excellent. Watching Leo slowly and painfully creep into his mental psychotic state, slowly watching all the pieces finally fit together, why he keeps having these recurring dreams of his wife getting wet, why the little girl continuously says "you could have saved them all" WELL DONE!
Well my head isn't exactly working well tonight, so thats my review. My nacho cheeeese rating, 4.5 out of 5 corn chips =D

"I like your largeness" - Alice In Wonderland
For a Tim Burton film featuring his wife and his protege' Johnny Depp, I was highly disappointed and felt feeling unsatisfied.
a) Plotline of Alice going back into the hole into Wonderland, tad lame. If you watched the Disney version, you'd kinda of expect what was going to happen and in what order. It was pretty much like that here. Alice falls down the hole, meets the rabbit, the caterpillar, the cat, the Mad Hatter, Red Queen, etc etc. Very typical.
b) The visuals. Highly disappointed, was no Avatar in terms of the quality but still disappointed for a 3D movie. I expected more colour, more detail in the little things. There were some things I was quiet pleased with, such as the Red Queens castle and Johnny Depp''s amazingly enlarged eyes (which were apparently CGI-ed and enlarged by 10%). The cat was amazing! Well done, but overall, not as impressed.
c) Alice. Meh, does not meet the expectations to what she was all hyped up about.
d) Anne Hathaway as the White Queen. Not bad at all. Bit freaky every now and then with how graceful and poised she was, but at the same time, very entertaining and funny =P.
e) Drug references and Sexual references. Props to Tim for those, I think out of everyone in the cinema, I laughed the most at "i like your largeness" =P. And Alice going back into the hole, no pun intended ;).
So .. in conclusion, my rating, 2 corn chips

Recap ...
I feel compelled to breakdown the recent events which have happened to me lately.
Uni is such a drag at the moment. Seriously have no motivation for it right now, maybe in a couple weeks time when I've settled in again I'll get into the swing of things. But today I felt more excited about going to work rather than my "Animal Nutrition and Feeding" lecture. It was a weird feeling, lately I've been WANTING to go to work more often then usual. But the only reason why I like going to work is because of the good company and friends =). I told a friend I plan to quit work, with uni and all it doesn't seem logical to only be doing two shifts a week when I get all the close or opens shifts on the weekends. Anyway, told him I was gonna quit, he implied I don't quit, because he doesn't wanna lose a friend .. NGAW!!!!! Yeah yeah yeah! I know, very heart-felt. So, I'm postponing my resignation for the sake of my friends.
I hate being a cashier at work! Sure you get to check out some guys, but it's SOOO boring!!!! Nothing happens out the front and you get either non-english speaking customers who don't understand a thing! Or those who change their orders after they pay and I get yelled at by kitchenhands because THEY changed their minds! OMG! And this old lady! I apologized heaps about the misfortune but she was gonna chop my head off! Just don't understand why people can be so rude when all we're trying to do is help =(.

Meh
First day of second year university O.o ..
Not much to say really. I liked my old routine of getting up 7am, 9am in the morning to get to work with some of the most awesome people I've ever met. But waking up at 7am, 9am to in the morning to get to uni was such a drag!
Alright, I can admit I missed the people. I missed all my friends, the acquaintances, the random people I remember purely based on how they act or what they wear (E.g: dude who lives on campus who wears the same white shirt and red pants EVERYDAY, barefoot also). I missed the smell of the freshly mown grass and the foul smell of manure around every corner. I missed the random conversations my friends and I had about Jason, uni itself and certain people.
I also missed perving on the guys before and after lectures. Today a tiny spark reignited as soon as I saw a certain someone's face. It was like first year all over again. Except he looked different, more tanned, different hair, yet same style, possibly the same soccermum car =P.
Despite all the memories flooding back, I am totally NOT looking forward to all these oral presentations coming up. So far from a total of two units, three oral presentations, two group assessments and an open book assessment with short answer essay questions O.o, fml! And the semester hasn't even started yet! Whatever happened to just a normal hand in task? I seriously hate, loathe, despise group assignments! I mean who needs them anyway! Jokes! I still hate them though. Such a pain!
