this is a really short weekend for me and it's a stay home weekend. basically i just lounge around.. and guess what. the lomographic society has completed its world browser, "a snap shot of our planet" in their words. i am so eager to take my lomo out and expend my new roll of film. i'm planning to walk along the singapore river from the lil' canal at redhill all the way to the merlion. hopefully something beautiful will come out of it.

i'm suffering from a shortage of pants.

i'm hearing great things from everyone overseas.

I, being the regular downloader of r(a) non porn movies, finally managed to catch american pyscho. it's a slasher flick with style. there's retro 80s music (david bowie! huey lewis!), gelled hair, sharp suits and big blonde hair. christian bale is this guy who is the perfect model of a metrosexual, abeit an emotionally depraved one. he's rich, goodlooking and has great taste in clothes. also he kills people who happen to have prettier business cards as him. anyway after killing about like 30 hapless people he breaks down and confesses his crime. that's where it gets a bit confusing. the guy he believes he's killed is actually still alive. and then the movie ends. anyway i don't really get it. i believe that the movie and the book are about the capitalism and greed of that decade and how society makes people soulless and without identity. the best part of the show is when he goes to the atm and picks up a stray cat and the atm machine says FEED ME A STRAY CAT. so he points a gun at the cat and i am totally horrified but luckily an old woman shouts at him and gets killed instead. his killing rampage is strangely satisfying. it only goes to show how desensitised to violence i am. haha. well now go and download the movie! or get the book by Bret Easton Ellis. i love his name..

i want to watch secretary, city of god and down with love.

of course, that sentence was totally irrelevant but i was typing about my mosquito bites and the importance of water and groin rash and later felt it was too boring to go at length about. instead i shall share my handphone to do list.

1. contact cornell. that is because i changed my internet provider to singnet and have no idea how to tell them that my email has been changed. seriously i am going to miss out on many important mails if i still do not email them.

1. zhenjin owes me money. haha.

2. my bank account number. in case saf decides to put in extra money.

2. don't take stupid pictures. this of course refers to my lomo. i haven't taken any quality shot yet which is such a shame. i bought a new roll of film and this time i'm gonna stop my trigger happy finger from clicking at every fuck damn thing.

2. save money.

3. my icq number.

3. my mum's ic number. cuz always have to write next of kin's ic in the forms i fill up. i have filled up many forms.

3.shoes (adidas), shirts, pants, contact lens. spend more. it's a contradiction but saving money has higher priority after all.

i'm still waiting for my 'give andrea the money' tshirt. i'm getting the blue one i think... can't wait to wear it out and get stared at.
