alright i admit it, i'm spooked by scary movies. but that doesn't mean that i spend half the time covering my face with a jacket. shutter actually has a story to tell. it goes beyond the usual random haunted house. i probably spent as much time laughing as screaming. i didn't realise i shouted at all until the movie ended and my voice was all hoarse. but that could also be a result of the ktv session earlier on. i think ktv is not really healthy. you just sit in a room for hours and eat tidbits and try to sing and watch other people sing. i usually don't have many songs to sing cuz i don't really listen to chinese music. they sound familiar only because they have been overplayed on radio or tv advertisements.

so anyway army life is going to get hectic soon and the only thing i can look forward to now is an odac christmas at kim's house (i don't think we've asked her yet) and there'll be a gift exchange thing (how exciting) and maybe there will even be a turkey.

an interesting project i can work on (when i'm really bored--after ord perhaps) is the soundtrack of my life. it's common knowledge that certain songs will bring one back to a certain point in one's life or mark significant chapters in one's life. maybe it can be a boxset of cds with a cool booklet. but it'll probably be hard to pare down the songs i've heard. it will be easier to do the secondary school parts because i didn't have much money to buy cds. two songs i know will definitely be there are 'barely breathing' by duncan sheik and 'foolish games' by jewel. i remember i wrote an email about the top 20 songs i liked of all time, or at least of that time, and sent it out to some people in the class. i wish i had printed it out cuz that would be nice to keep. as i've grown older, songs hold less and less meaning to me. they are just something i listen to for leisure. they don't seep into my subconscious and i don't memorise the lyrics and i rarely sing along. primary school will be even harder.. it will be some aaron kwok junk or something from those sing-a-long sessions that we did as a school. come to think of it, wasn't that like ktv with a thousand people in the hall?

i'm still in love with shawn ban's website.
