PECKPOST

Hello I got an off today because my unit was doing a lot of saikang for SAF day. I was a gatekeeper. It really sucked. My gate is next to a rubbish dump which is full of rats and it's just krazy when you're tired and then you see rats fighting in the moonlight. It's kinda entertaining but it also messes with your head. I also had bad skin days for all the rehearsals so during the real thing my friend and I lit like 5 mosquito coils and proceeded to get high on the haze. Seriously though, mosquitoes are biatches and I don't see a place on earth for them. I bet it was the fifth day of creation, it was 2350 hrs and god was trying to make a butterfly and he didnt like the design so he crumpled it up -> Presto the damn bloodsucker was formed.

Anyway in recent weeks I've been watching more artsy movies. This past weekend I watched 
The Diving Bell and The Butterfly. It's definitely not that mainstream but it was one of the best reviewed movies of 2007. It's about this frenchman who suffers from paralysis everywhere except his eye. He taps a lot into the memories and imagination and eventually manages to write a book. I would say it's a visually beautiful movie and a thinking movie and the way he was portrayed as an imperfect man was well done. But really I wasn't particularly moved by the movie. Perhaps it was because I have seen The Sea Inside which has similar material. Hmm yeah so not really emotionally affected. Well maybe I've a cold stony heart but I refuse to consider that option -_-.  

And then today during lunch I watched Into the Wild, starring Emile Hirsch and directed by Sean Penn. This movie was good. 
 
Man I bet xy will like this film. He quotes tons of authors. It's about this guy who gives up his possessions and goes on a life journey to find happiness. The acting of the entire cast is absolutely top notch and for the most part the movie is always gives me this uplifting vibe. Ask me if you wanna watch it. I got the dvd. 

Ah I'll just leave you with this. The Douchiest Phone Message in History. Douche Bag ftl.
