I was thinking, you know, what if I actually became a great journalist? Well okay, maybe not great, but well-known. So what if I was a great journalist, and I travelled around the world to all the countries you could name, or at least, most of them. I've written articles and articles about the world, reaching the hearts and changing the lives of many.

And one day,
I sit in my humble abode (whereever it might be)
on a comfortable little chair with a cup of tea on the table beside me
and I write about my past -
my childhood
my attitudes and thoughts,
Myself.

Incredible. I can actually imagine it. It sounds bright.

I just watched Bridget Jones' Diary (the first one), and I felt all bubbly and giggly over the end bit, where Mark Darcy and Bridget finally get together, after Bridge runs onto the streets in her undies looking for Darcy. So cute. So sweet. How I dream of having a good looking man like Mr Darcy, come up to me and tell me that he likes me just the way I am. *faints*

Bah. Forget it Rae. After the movie, I told myself that it was these kind of movies that keep me on my toes, trying to reach hope. I'm so pathetic :) I'll forget about this by tomorrow. Hopefully.

I watched Big Fish and Beyond Borders last night, both in a row and in the same night. What were the chances, that a movie with Ewan McGregor ♥ and Clive Owen play on the same night! I didn't want to go to sleep. I just had to stay awake to watch them both. Regardless of the two awesome actors, I thought both movies were incredible.

Big Fish is a Tim Burton (Charlie & The Chocolate Factory; Corpse Bride; Edward Scissorhands) film about an extraodinary man's adventurous life, which his son doesn't believe in. It's all about believing and being courageous in everything you do in life. If you believe, you're destined to do great things.

Beyond Borders was a romantic and passionate story about the hard and dangerous work relief workers do in the world today. It was so graphic. The story follows two people: an English doctor working for a non-profitable government organisation helping people in need of aid, and an American UN Ambassador. Both fall in love with each other and their story takes them from Ethiopia to Cambodia, and then to the extremely dangerous Chechnya (sp?). There were so many scenes of people being eaten by vultures and people being shot. It really hit the empathy spot in me. I really felt like we, the fortunate ones, should work together as one to really take action. We're not really helping them, if you ask me. Usually, big-ass countries like Australia or the USA give aid on terms and conditions. Is that really out of kind-heartedness? It can't be.

Both movies really hit me. I was so touched and in deep thought after both of them. It was already 3 AM, and I really needed to sleep. Funny thing, last night. Beyond Borders' lead actors, Angelina Jolie and Clive Owen were in my dream! The only thing I remember was hugging Mr Owen. It was so strange /swt

Shaza and her mum came over to spend the evening with us today (technically, yesterday). It was good. Mum had cooked up some bolognaise for her famed lasagne, so she whipped up some spaghetti. Nothing tasted better than mum's home cooked spag and bolognaise. We watched a bit of Little Britain and the movie Because of Winn-Dixie. Another bloody good movie. It was so touching.

I seem to be watching all those touching movies. It might be getting to my head.

I've decided to buy a new guitar, with the money I have. A cheap China made guitar. Acoustic. Semi-acoustic. My Gallagher is very cranky. One or two of his strings look like they're about to snap, and all of his strings are rusty as ever. The bridge is up too high, making it very difficult for me to hit the strings without feeling too much pain. Gallagher could do with a remake. A rebirth actually.

I need a new laptop battery too. Mine just sucks, quite frankly. It says the battery will last for 3 hours at the most, but it never does. It only lasts for 10 minutes at the most. Never more. I hate this. It just means I can't use Frank late at night in the Boarding house, when they switch the electricity off.

I've been thinking about the things I want to do in the near future.
Here's a list.

1. Do extra-curricular soccer.
2. Learn how to dance (either tap or jive or, how Catcher Block dances at the end).
3. Play in the jazz band, or some sort of band.
4. Become a school photographer (just like old times).
5. Learn how to drive a car.
6. Take a year off from education (whether it be uni or school) to travel.
7. Have a social life.
8. Carry on blogging :)

I should be off.
Someone's got to be awake to play tennis in 7 hours,
Cheers.

PS. Chris Dolling is coming down to KL
during the December holidays,
and guess who's accomodating him? :)
