And I just had this one line: My feet hurt.

So I just realized a minute ago that I've been having this particular post-it hanging on my window pane right in front of my notebook for quite some time now. It reads:

Top up on 3rd March
Service aircon


Well, it's been there for like 2 months now, and I've been used to this view quite like I am used to seeing the way the picture frames stand, the duckie bank sitting next to them, the reading lamp on my left, the bookshelf on my right, the stuffed animals on the bed, my sister buried somewhere around there, and oh dear god the book that I haven't returned from the library right there. Shoot. =P
My point is, there's no rhyme or reason for us to take things for granted. Most of the time we just do. Out of nothing at all. And that's the problem right there

We were flashed this short movie in our first Film Appreciation class.
It's called "Mother", and it's the kind of short film that makes you weep, just for the heads up. A narration by Royston Tan (wiki) on a series of pictures for around 7 minutes. Now the bottom line is, it's about taking things for granted. Solely showing us how a son feels after years of rebellion by the end of the day when he finds that his mom is no longer there. Well it's touchy the way it's meant to be. Anyway, I tried YouTube, but apparently there's nothing there. I guess there must be some kind of a copyright issue. O well I wish I can share this with you but no can do.

And we watched a third of Forrest Gump for the following week after a session of roleplay. I can tell that I've watched this movie for like 6 times now, and never get bored of it. =D
But I'll most certainly do if you make me watch it again.
I played the nurse at park bench who's talking to Forrest Gump at the bus stop, if you still remember, or have an inkling of what Im talking about? And I just had this one line for the whole scene: My feet hurt.
haha..

*poof*
