Nothing much

After all the excitement of finally getting a job settled down, life pretty much continued on in the same vein. My 2nd eldest brother got around to buying me and the youngest in the family sushi at Escapade last Friday, don't know what got into him but I am not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. As someone else was paying, one should not waste his generosity and therefore one should endeavour to select the more expensive choice~ this is somewhat one of the many motto in my life that I go by and it should be everybody elses' too~ My little brother has a pretty much unadventurous palate and so went by his usual fare of tamago (che, what a waste). I had the chicken terayaki bento set and also tried the salmon and mayo sushi... it's an acquired taste is all I can say (ugh, I still can't believe I put an uncooked piece of fish into my mouth).

Let's see... what else happened. Oh yeah, Zat arranged a gathering of our usual bunch of high school mates but sadly only the two of us made it. The rest were either busy with exams coming up or tired from all the strenuos daily confrontation with hormonal teenagers at work. I don't know how teachers do it, having to put up with kids who are not even related to them - which is why I am not in the education profession that caters to below 18 years old. The way I see it, all those in teaching must belong to a secret organisation where they are sworn to a blood pact and then experimented to give them superpowers that can withstand any sh*t from puberty stricken beings called teenagers with their powers ranging from being psychic (knowing when notes are passed in class, or when somebody did something they weren't supposed to, etc) to creating illusions of authority that with a single look can instill fear and obedience. Of course these powers don't always work, as they are facing against entities that are unstable, unpredictable, and have pretty much almost always develop new strains of resistance for every measures taken against them. When all's said and done, I salute both sides, all that drama made my schooling years quite interesting if not enjoyable~

Hmmm... how the heck did I get off track from a meet with Zat to spewing stuff on kids and teaching? I have no idea but it's just one of those innate abilities that seems to be bestowed more on females - jumping from topic to topic that are totally unrelated. This comes in handy when you wanna distract someone from the fact that you just scraped the side of the car leaving yellow paint transfer that totally looked out of place on silver - that is not to say I have done so~. Let's just ignore that tidbit and go back to what I was supposed to be yapping on.

We had lunch, Zat and I, and as usual when we get together, a gossip session followed through in which I gleaned useless bits of info that I somehow managed to store in my head (how come I can never remember names? |||~_~) and we watched the movie 'He's just not that into you'. Truthfully, I have my doubts whether or not I wanna watch this one, the trailer was not very enticing even though I've heard great reviews on it and the multitude of main characters was not something I look forward to (I forget names remember~). However I found myself enjoying the movie, it was different from my usual fare of slapstick humour and action fantasy adventures, but it was fresh and enjoyable and I like how the ending tied up all the conflicts, managing to show how the characters have developed and matured and everybody gets what they just deserts without that unrealistic faiytale ending of HEA.

On top of that, I finally watched 'Superhero Movie', the one that spoofed 'Spiderman'. Although I generally find recent spoofs quite boringly dependant of gags that are overdone and basically run out of its course - this one was not as bad as I thought it would be. There were some really funny scenes which managed to overcome all the bad ones. It got me thinking, with the phenomenal success of the Twilight movie, how come I haven't heard of anything in regards to a parody being made of it? Although it would result in not a few toes being stepped on (there are some who are quite fanatical on the book and movie who would just kill anybody who dares to sacrilege the original) but if it was done tastefully - think of 'The Princess Bride' and 'Robinhood: Men in Tights' rather than the latest three installments of Scary Movie, the Date Movie and the Epic Movie - I would love to watch an uncool but still adorable Edward and an accident-prone Bella on screen. Hopefully that will come to fruition.

Well people, I've got to go. Toodaloo!~

(Seriously, that big glass of Ribena I've had is wrecking it's revenge on me now~)
