Instant Coffee by CrazyKcee

here i am having a cup of instant coffee while staying up the whole night working on the final assignment for marketing decision tools subject. the coffee sucks btw. i have never been a fan of instant coffee. it tastes and smells nothing like coffee! it’s quick to make though.

i’m a coffee addict! i can’t survive a day at work without a cup of coffee in the morning. now that i’m not working any more, i’m trying to drink tea instead (as if it were better!). i’m so gonna grab a strong cap later today when arriving uni to submit the assignment.

oops, coffee break’s over! time to get back to the assignment!

Children of Men, the war was stopped in a minute by a new born baby

2009 October 18

Children of Men is amazing. It creates a whole new different future that I have never seen in any other science fiction movies.

Women were infertile, civilization was in chaos, the world collapsed.

The story happened in Britain in 2027 with the news of the youngest person on Earth was dead at the age of 18. The world was dying. There was no hope.

until they found Kee, an illegal immigrant.

.

Children of Men has the most real action war scenes. The acting is brilliant. I never liked Clive Owen before, even he was in one of my favourite movies, Closer; but he was exceptionally good in Children of Men. And of course, Michael Caine!

It was not really a happy ending; but then there was hope because Tomorrow was coming!

tuần rồi được cho cái bánh trung thu, tối về buồn miệng bẻ đôi ra ăn, uống ly trà để thức học bài, vậy là đón trung thu sớm hơn người ta 1 tuần, đèn mở, cửa sổ đóng, mưa tạt, không biết hôm đó có trăng hông coffee

.

bánh đậu xanh, bùi bùi. mình đó giờ không ưa bánh trung thu, thấy không có gì đặc biệt, chỉ khoái cái lòng đỏ trứng vịt muối mặn mặn giòn giòn, ráng ăn hết thịt bánh để đc ăn tới cái trứng

.

trước trung thu 1 ngày, đang làm tự nhiên lành lạnh, hơi chóng mặt, vậy mà dân tình rủ friday drinks cũng bon chen đi theo. tối về thì sốt thôi rồi. cũng may thằng G dư cái áo khóac cho mượn ( lúc đầu thấy ko sao nên ko mặc, bị chúng hâm dọa hội đồng nên mặc vô), ko thôi cũng chẳng còn mạng lết về nhà

.

đúng ngày trung thu khỏi nói thì cũng biết, sốt + hangover, ta nói thảm cảnh, ngủ như thiếu ngủ cả tháng trời. tỉnh dậy ăn cơm uống thuốc xong ngủ tiếp, tỉnh dậy ăn cơm uống thuốc xong ngủ nữa! nghe đâu bên Richmond với Footscray có pháo bông, ui thôi tui mặc kệ

.

kéo kín cửa sổ, bật máy suởi, trùm kín mền, ko biết ở ngoài có thấy trăng hông

Incubus - Love Hurts

Incubus - Love Hurts

Incubus – Love Hurts

.

Tonight we drink to youth
And holding fast the truth
Don’t want to lose what I had as a boy
My heart still has a beat
But love is now a feat
As common as a cold day in L.A.

Sometimes when I’m alone I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing

Love hurts
But sometimes it’s a good hurt
And it feels like I’m alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
‘cause without love I won’t survive

I’m fettered and abused
Stand naked and accused
Should I surface, this one-man submarine?
I only want the truth!
So tonight we drink to youth!
I’ll never lose what I had as a boy

Sometimes when I’m alone I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?

Love hurts
But sometimes it’s a good hurt
And it feels like I’m alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
‘cause without love I won’t survive

Without love I won’t survive

Love hurts
But sometimes it’s a good hurt
And it feels like I’m alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
‘cause without love I won’t survive

Love hurts,
Love hurts
Without love I won’t survive
Love hurts
Love hurts
Without love I won’t survive

Australian Quit Smoking commercials

by Ton Lang

The commercials send a very powerful message of how smoking affects not only yourself but also who you will leave behind.

.

Give up smoking for the people who care about you. Give up for the people who are gonna miss you.

Harper’s Island

2009 September 12
by Ton Lang

It’s funny how I’m too lazy to watch a movie for 1.5 hours or more but willing to spend a whole night finishing a whole season from some TV series! Friends, Grey’s Anatomy, Heroes, Two And A Half Men, Off Center, Lost, Prison Break, you name it! And guess what I found? Harper’s Island!

The series is about a group of young people coming back to Harper’s Island to attend their best friends’ wedding, Henry and Trish. Right from the very first day they set their footsteps back on the island, somebody was killed, savagely! One or more people disappeared everyday. They said the killer was one of them, the others said the killer was John Wakefield – the ‘famous’ local serial killer.

Harper's Island

You couldn’t guess who was gonna die next, neither who was the killer. It was a huge surprise at the end when they found out the whole story behind the deaths.

A recommended for mystery/horror/drama fans, not for those who has previous record of heart disease though lol. There would be blood, a lot! And the little girl was creepy as hell! Out of my expectation, the ending was so sad. Enough said, now watch it yourself!

the dreams

2009 September 12

… “In later years I dreamed about the building again and again. The dreams were similar, variations on one dream and one theme. I’m walking through a strange town and I see the house. It’s one in a row of buildings in a district I don’t know. I go on, confused, because the house is familiar but its surroundings are not. Then I realize that I’ve seen the house before. I’m not picturing Bahnhofstrasse in my hometown, but another city, or another country. For example, in my dream I’m in Rome, see the house, and realize I’ve seen it already in Bern. This dream recognition comforts me; seeing the house again in different surroundings is no more surprising than encountering an old friend by chance in a strange place”…
(The Reader – Bernhard Schlink)


It’s strangely irritating when you’re reading a book and a character coincidently has the same thoughts or experiences as you do.
.
I have similar dreams about the same building in years. Despite of the different backgrounds, I recognised the building.
.
Michael has dreamt about the bulding for years because that’s where the woman who saved his life was living. I dreamt about “my building” just for no reason!
.
The dream hasn’t come back for 2 years and I actually forgot about it until I read The Reader. Hopefully I would see it again someday soon just to see what would be going on.
Peace and sweet dreams, everyone! :)
