Oh my life.

Been wanting to make an appreciation post for months, although really it's only more appropriate to make one right now. College life is almost over and I might just not meet with many friends anymore. I understand that people always say "let's keep in touch", however, sometimes that's never true.

I may proclaim to like being alone, but in truth, I really miss being able to hang out with people I used to always be with. Too many times my groupmates and I would tell each other, "Omg get out of my face, I'm so sick of seeing you every day and night." That's exactly how ill-mannered we can get because of group assignments. But when I think about it now... oh my god, that was nothing compared to sitting here at home everyday, wondering if I should ask them to hang out. I would immediately give them a call if they aren't so busy with their lives already. Busy, at least compared to mine. I still see a bunch of them a couple of days a week in college when we work on our graduation projects, but that few hours equates to zero fun. It's all work, stress, yelling, work, cursing, running around, work. Yeah.

I've grown to be closer to alot of people in college in just 4 months. As in... about 90 people. I've learnt to understand situations better, speak more fluent Chinese (omg no kidding ok!) and generally just be less abrasive to people. I have always been a very phlegmatic person although most of the time, I may have come off as one hell of a snob lol. Then again, these people who's been with me in college know me best and I will forever and always remember them ;__;

CD711 class; you crazy asses in drama lessons, life drawing lessons and everything else... the trip to Penang... hash browns treat from Hoo-Hoo hahahahahaha (omg whoever remembers this wins a prize)... tissue-dress making for Zhi-Ni and tons more memories I will never forget. Still... holy shit it's 2007 when all that happened.

AD711 class; oh my god, it's a roller coaster. I've never encountered so much yelling, crying, cursing, zombies/vampires and sadfaces in my life. Despite all that, these 2 years have been so fantastic, I can't even explain. I just wanna thank all of you who's been with me all the time. I have been a tortorous moron to some, and I'm deeply sorry :(

Batch 71; lmao you guys, you guys. Please never change. Eh I still have a few weeks left with you all so I'll shut up :D It has been HILARIOUS so far, though. I had so much fun during the past activities with everyone. /corny


Enough with the melancholia, I need my daily dose of lulz.

Annyeong.

December.

I like that I'm keeping myself busy even after classes are long over. Busy as in... like, busy sleeping, eating, cleaning my room in slow motion, other random unnecessary activities. Lol just kidding. I've actually been spending all day cutting felt clothes. My fingers are so sore because my 10 year-old scissors are really too small for my hand. Felt clothes are a bitch to deal with, I haven't realised it before.

I have finally finished all 16 episodes of You're Beautiful. I want to..... cry. The final two episodes made me bawl like a child. But it ended pretty nicely, except that I wish it wasn't so abrupt. ASJDNSAKJFSL I need to stop pretending like it's real life. I have to remember that it's lame and fictional, for crying out loud. Hmph :(



Jang Geunseok OM NOM NOM.

I haven't watched enough Korean movies to judge, but this is definitely one of my favourites, besides 200 Pounds Beauty, The Naked Kitchen and Baby And Me. Those are very worth watching too.



Itaewon Murder is based on a true story where a college student got into an argument with two Korean-Americans at a fast food restaurant in Itaewon, South Korea. The guy was later found dead in the washroom of the restaurant and those two Korean-Americans became suspects after having known to have gone into the washroom too. The story goes on about the prosecution and how they determine which of those tho really committed the crime... so yeah, there's alot of blood and stuff.

Bonus? Jang Geunseok plays one of them Korean-Americans. UNFFFFF HIS AMERICAN ACCENT. HOT. I've never paid attention to his acting skills until I finished watching Itaewon Murder.... and the last 2 episodes of You're Beautiful, lol. He is so frightening, hilarious and sentimental at the same time. Ugh I have such a soft spot for multi-talented people.

Last night was so laughable. I had the silliest conversation EVER with Nat, Clarissa and PS sjfnjsakfakf I wanted to dieeeee. As usual Nat is the ninja, she always appears out of nowhere. It went something like this:

Clarissa: joyce you're calling a boy 5 years younger than you... hot.
Joyce: omg who r u talking about? 5 years.... uhm wait, Dongho? LOLWAT I SAID HE'S CUTE.
Clarissa: oic.
Joyce: ouc. then again whatever really. Taemin is 4 years younger... so.... sigh.
PS: erm, why is everyone all over dongho? i can't see the appeal. he looks like 12.
Joyce: sobs i think he's cute :( but.... that's all really.
PS: aiyo Taemin is far far cuter D:
Joyce: WELL THAT IS OF COURSE.
PS: i still think his face is very kiam pak. (kiam pak basically means deserves a slap in Hokkien)
Joyce: LMAO YA. HIS FACE IS SO GUAI LAN RIGHT. (guai lan explains the attitude of a defiant person)
Nat: i think so too. except that i think he's ok after i watched that idol rebellion show. he somehow reminds me of my brother hehe.
Joyce: eh ps, maybe you should go watch Idol Magnae Rebellion, he doesn't look that kiam pak there. because he kena bullied lmao.
PS: can you not try to make me take back my words? omg what if i really think he's cute then!!
Joyce: oh then i don't know already. after that you'd be like oops ok forget what i said~ kekeke

..... and a sudden switch of topic.

PS: nichkhun should still be BANNED FROM RAPPING FOREVER AND EVER.
Clarissa: I think he's better than Chansung lol.
Nat: WHAT.
Joyce: omg r u srs!1!! chansung is better imo.
Nat: you don't know the sound of sex.
PS: HAHAHHAA YOU MEAN THAT'S HOW HE WLD SOUND LIKE? ERMMM. D:
Joyce: OMG WHAT ARE YOU VISUALIZING. kekekeke
Clarissa: omg sry chanbear fans ;__; don't attack me plz. flying kiss and ^^V face for yall~

Joyce: WAHLAO HAHAHAH


NEVER-ENDING LOL AT THEM.

It still confuses me a little because this Dongho kid used to look like this....



Now he looks like this. LOL ~TRANSFORMATION~



Going off before my pedo-ism starts showing. LOL AS IF IT'S NOT ALREADY EVERYWHERE.


Happy World AIDS Day! ♡

Stay safe, everyone.

"You don't know a thing about his soul."

I have forgotten how psyched I used to be right when Twilight the movie was released. I was completely mad over it because I'm a fangirl like that. Well that's exactly a year ago and I dare say my feelings towards the sequel has changed. Changed.... as in, changed for the better. I think I'm better at judging parts of the movie which I think could've been better and parts that really did the book justice. I know, right? I remember watching Twilight about 10 times and thought the cinematography was excellent. Yes I'm very stupid. /gets bricked

After leaving the theatre yesterday, I thought New Moon was... eh, just okay. I didn't have much thoughts about it because truth is, I went in with the lowest expectations ever. My advice to people who loved the books, if you haven't watched the movie, don't be excited. Heh. Having said that, I came home and tried digesting my ~inner thoughts~ about the movie. Yeap, I love recalling things in my head. And I thought New Moon was pretty decent after all. If you are one who are only bothered about why Edward Cullen glows or how he has chest hair.... honestly, where have you been? That is so Twilight, just so you know.

~CAUTION VERY SPOILERY~


I was particularly intrigued by Kristen's acting, not even gonna lie. She may have made the movie thoroughly damn depressing, but kudos to her for pulling off that whole "Look at me, I'm so depressed I look dead" expression all the time. In comparison to Twilight, Bella in New Moon is VERY Bella. Instead of always putting on a tough exterior, I could see the delicate, fragile Bella. She delivered her lines pretty well too, I think. "Don't make me choose. Because it's going to be him, it's always been him" almost made me tear omg. My favourite scene with Bella would definitely be the whole October/November/December segue in her bedroom. I thought it was BRILLIANT with Lykke Li's song, Possibility. Haunting.

I was very glad with all the highschool scenes. ERIC AND HIS "FACE PUNCH! PUNCH FACES." made me lol so haaaard. You have Mike being stupid as usual, "Love spelled backwards is love". And Jessica.... omg I love that girl. All her lines were epic, especially her rant when she left the cinema. ♥ I felt like these few roles managed to neutralize the storyline. Oh wait, how could I have forgotten Charlie. Possibly my top 3 characters ever, in books and movies. When he said "Look at me, Bells. Terminal bachelor, famous ladies man" I literally wanted to die, lol it was genius.WOLF PACK SHFBSAHFJLA HOT. Yeah, that's it about them really. But I thought that guy who plays Quil was too cute to be a wolf kekeke. And um, Jacob is..... big. Taylor's acting skills grew just as quick as his body, really. I'm dying to see him fight with Edward or something in Eclipse hale yeah.

I liked that New Moon stayed true to the book more than Twilight did. I finally saw the quirky Edward from the book. At least he willingly SMILES in New Moon and not glare 24/7 straight into someone's eyes. It gives out a feeling like he wants to be like a human too. My heart was melting into a puddle when he recited the Romeo + Juliet quotes, ahh. The only thing I wasn't too fond of was the lack of Carlisle. He could have got more lines that this, I swear. Surprisingly, Volterra scene wasn't my favourite. Nyeh. I thought it could've been more intense rather than slow. No doubt the effects were great. I LOVED ARO, THOUGH. HE WAS AMAZING. Jamie Campbell (sahbdsahjfkask) who plays Caius should have got more lines too. But he's pretty just sitting there, really.


Favourite scenes:

• During the October/November/December transition. That's what New Moon is all about to me. "The pain was my only reminder that he was real." Bella screams, yells and cries in her sleep every single day, even the dreamcatcher doesn't help. When she sat at the Cullen's table in the school cafeteria, I just thought wow, that's really depressing isn't it heh heh.

• Bella going back to the dead meadow. Her hallucinations were insane, it almost seemed like she's really going psycho. And she fell to her knees, just like in the book. LOL YES I REMEMBER DETAILS.

• Voting in the Cullen's house. Bella told Edward to shut up, lol. And I totally needed to see Rosalie in her soft side.... she was less arrogant too. Emmett bear-hugging shbsjafsaklfa I didn't see that coming but it put a smile on my face, neverthelessly.

• Cliff diving. To be honest, it wasn't up to the book's standard. Totally lacked some quotes which could've added more tragedy. But I absolutely adore that part after she hits her head on the rock and drowns. It was visually very mesmerizing..... along with the background music. Holy shit I wanted to cry at that part too. It was doing weird things to my heart, man. Ugh.

• Bella's break up with Jacob. WOW OK NO DOUBT BOTH OF THEM WERE EXCELLENT HERE. I loved that Jacob seemed heartless and was basically like, gtfo right now and don't come back, and continued to run in the rain. However, I thought Bella's portrayal of sadness here was better than when Edward left her in the beginning.


Eh yeah, I guess..... I only liked that much. I was abit indifferent watching the Edward/Bella seperation and also didn't quite fancy Laurent killing and Victoria hunting. Thank goodness for Thom Yorke's fantastic song, Hearing Damage, it didn't disappoint too much. Generally the soundtracks are VERY VERY GOOD. It's way beyond my expectations, actually... and it's one of the main reasons why I enjoyed the film. Lykke Li, Thom Yorke, Radiohead, Lupe Fiasco, The Editors (!!!!) and lots more awesome musicians. The scores, composed by Alexander Desplat is very depressing and hauntingly beautiful. If you loved what he did for Benjamin Button, then you'd love this too. Ugh yeah I'm a sucker for all these upsetting music scores ok.

Hmpff bye, going away to indulge myself in more depressing music lalala.
