Jul25 Your Mind is the Scene of the Crime

First things first. I got my second semester results. The only thing I'm happy about is the fact that I got an A for Professional Writing, which was what I expected myself to get. But all in all I am very disappointed with myself. I know I could do better than 3.12 GPA (went down from my previous GPA of 3.43) and I swear, I'm gonna try to up my points come third semester.

Last night I saw Inception with my parents and my 3 cousins and I'm gonna tell you right now. For those who haven't seen it, well YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT! It's really really good. The actors are brilliant (I loved Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page and Tom Hardy (Eames' sarcasms are win) in it). After the movie, my cousins and my mum had a huge argument, whether or not Cobb was still dreaming or if he's back to reality. As I commented at Jess's entry, I argued that Cobb was still dreaming because A) his kids didn't appear to have aged considering the fact that he hasn't seen them since Mal died (though as I'm writing this I realised they didn't tell us when Mal died), B) the kids are exactly where he dreamed/last seen them in, wearing the same clothes, C) we didn't see the top fell, it only wobbled a bit (I think I cursed when the screen suddenly went blank just before the top started to wobble harder. BUT, after reading this article (thanks Jess!), it all made sense now. It's something I overlooked but his wedding ring was his real totem! I mean A) Arthur told Ariadne that she has to have her own unique totem and that no one else can touch it. And because the top was actually Mal's totem, no way that could be Cobb's totem. B) After reading the article I realise that I did notice Cobb was wearing his ring in the first scene (when he was brought to Saito in the first place)(DREAM SCENE) and he didn't wear his ring in the plane when he sat behind Fischer Jr. (REALITY). And the fact that he didn't wear his ring when he came back home to see his children makes it clear that it was all reality! Plus, I think the reason why Nolan didn't show if the top fell off or not is because he's saying that now that Cobb is free of his guilt and now that he's home back with his kids, nothing else matters. He's happy that he gets to go home so that's all that matters. It's just that I wouldn't have thought his ring was his real totem because it's something so easily overlooked.

Enough of Inception talks. Today I went shopping with mum and I managed to scratch the car x_x Just a small scratch but a scratch is still a scratch. Mum was pissed, of course. When I told dad, he looked calm and he didn't yell at me "You scratched the car?! You're not driving it again!" as I expected him to do. He was, like, "Oh, okay." And I stood there, like, o.O Anyways, I should be thankful he didn't blow up on me, haha. I bought a few stuffs in preparation to go back to college this coming weekend.

I shall end the blog now. Awkward ending, I know.

Jul22 Less than 2 weeks left!

So I went back to those simple WordPress themes. I just don't want to be worrying about the layout of the site anymore. I mean, the main purpose of this site is to be a place where I can blog. I just want a place to pour my feelings out y'know? So yeah. Back to the old school simple themes.

The new semester is starting in less than 2 weeks and frankly, I can't wait to go back to college. Although I know for a certain that once the assignments come in, I'll regret everything I said just now, haha. It gets boring to just sit at home doing nothing and feeling so unproductive. My hometown friends aren't around (since they started their classes the week when I started my semester break) so most of the time, I'd rot myself away by sitting in front of the tele or the laptop. Fun, right?

And our results aren't out yet! Gah, the suspense! I have a feeling I did badly on my Design Study 1 module. I suck at designing crap — I suck at Photoshop and Illustrator :'( I just hope I don't have to repeat the module next semester. And I hope my GPA doesn't go below 3.0. My parents would be very very unhappy if that happens.

I miss all my friends in college. I can't wait to get back and start hanging out with them every day like we used to do last semester :)
