Never have I felt so perplexed. Nor have I this desire to not know of something, when normally I would have wanted to know everything which concerns me. Selective ignorance is the epitome of bliss. And if only I could keep my eyes closed and forget everything that I saw. Ignorance brings about disillusionment, but that would be better than harbouring an indescribable feeling within, not knowing what to do and what to think. It has been on my mind since yesterday night to this very second. It's literal, not figurative.
The day before today was eventful. It began with b'fast with Ann Soon. We went for our pri sch's Open house. It was sort of like a chatting session with reminiscing here and there. It ended earlier than expected and I proceeded to BPP to meet HY & Wei ling initially. Wei ling had to visit her gramps in hosp. In her place came benedict. Lunch, then a nauseating trip on the bus to zl's house. Mahjong for much of the time there. Dinner in which we pathed out our plans for the rest of the day. 6 ppl whittled down to 3 as we went to catch a movie. Theatres mostly full till the first row. So in a crazy move, we booked ticks for Red Cliff at 11.50 at 8.30. Talk about being kiasu.
In that time, we spent our time in Alger's house - Me, zl, alger and 1 guy called larry. In that time, we pretty much did nth, but called Joseph over for the show.
Interesting show. Very long but intriguing, with intelligence being the main theme over numerical superiority. It wouldnt hurt to have some background information on it before watching, as it will aid you in understanding who is who, altho it is not that complicated. There is an impressive array of tactics used, one of which is the Eight Trigrams Formation. But I find the trapping of the bad guys a bit fake. It's like they are being ushered inside w/o even trying to resist. Yes, there is sand-made fog, but it's unrealistic imo. A bit spoiling yeah. But the end of the movie is abrupt with a second film coming up in Jan 2009, with the total time spanning over 4 hours.
So I reached home @ 3am. Bloody late and tired. Just plopped onto my bed and drifted off.
