The Hunger Games

So my new year's resolution (could have posted this earlier) which i had to make up on the spot while my boss asked me during lunchtime one day was... to read at least one book every month.

Up till last weekend I've only read one in the past three months... (:P oops) which was the minds of billy

...until I saw this movie this past saturday



And I'm already finishing up the last of the trilogy, less than a week!

woot! it's quite addicting :P



Oh btw, to all the racists out there....
RUE AND CINNA WERE BOTH AWESOME IN THE MOVIE!!



I thought they were the top actors in the movie.
And I'm disgusted by the racists' comments
But kudos to http://hungergamestweets.tumblr.com/
Loving your blog!

Dream

There was this time when my family were at the office and prepared to leave for home. My brother and I were chasing around the empty space between the elevator and the office when my brother stepped on a nail. The two-inch nail went through the sole of his shoe and into his foot. Bloody.

I dreamt of the hole that the nail left was hollower and wider from what I've remembered. The bones should be visible by the time of the injury if it was that big. And it was at the heel when it supposedly should be right in the center.
My bro had a flesh-like cushion inserted that should probably make it more comfortable to walk in.

Very weird dream...

Moon (2009)


Finished the movie before work and I couldn't stop thinking about it the whole morning.
Fascinating. At the beginning I thought Sam was an outlaw. Memory manipulated so that he thought he was on a 3-year contract to work on the moon. But turns out he was the victim of the company he works for.

The moment Sam found out his real self is with his daughter back at home in a live call... heartbreaking. I really wish he didn't have to hear his own voice at the other end of the call. All this time of suffering and loneliness was built upon love and hopes that weren't his own.

Brilliant movie. But Gerty was an interesting part.
Gerty is programmed to conflict the interests of the company and of Sams'. Not smart for the company I guess? They probably didn't realize the extend to which Gerty will protect and help the Sams.
And the communication played an important role too...... but if Gerty could alter the signal and contact the headquarters, as a computer, why can't he just communicate via other ways not noticeable to Sam? Or I guess under the circumstances real-time communication was uncommon so Lunar didn't plan for it?

Another question is about the Sam Wells. I read on someone elses' blogs about the comings of the clones. Does the original Sam Well know about his clones? He must have served his 3 years on the moon for the taped video calls to be realistic.
But what came after? Did he agree to be cloned and kept it as a secret, being part of the company's plan and receiving benefits from it?
Was it greed?
Or was he not part of the game? Then what happens when the orginal Sam finds out he has a clone, a clone that is his own self 15 years earlier?

What a masterpiece. It left me in awe.

Bob Marley

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
