原本係我打俾人做問卷, 点知俾人秤住嚟up咗一輪佢先至肯放濄我. 唉~
The woes of a tele-surveyor, felt here in NM2102 as well! Cute elderly gentleman though, he spoke to me about the facts of life as if he was the one calling, and calling Capital 95.8FM at that, to air his views on freedom vs. control. And the best part is, it has nothing to do with new media. Which was my topic of interest. Somehow he was able to extrapolate the reasoning behind it and use it to talk to me about politics, how US is conquering outer space and we are helpless against it, as an example of freedom vs. control. How DID he do that?
More importantly, can he do my NM2218 critical intro to gaming final essay for me? I’m so certain he’ll get me beyond that B+!

The Start of Something Beautiful
Primitive, yes i know, with flash files being the next big thing. But it's always been my dream to make animated gif's since i was a secondary school kid. So with pride, I present my first (ok second) art work! Made with Adobe Photoshop CS2 in school, with custom freeform shapes for
the lightning and free hand shapes for the stick man ^^

Oh Dear
No Lemmings were hurt during the shooting of this picture. There were many hurt before and after the shoot, but not during the shoot. They are shown as becoming angels here. See? No Lemmings hurt.
Useless fact of the day: Lemmings are thought to commit mass suicide in real life. But according to wikipedia, the reason why many of their corpses are found is because they accidentally bump each other off due to the sheer number of furry creatures moving around at the same time.
Try getting as far as i did here!

In the Pursuit of Happyness (sic)
Well said, how we are always in the pursuit of happiness, but seldom are we able to attain it. Is it because happiness is abstract, is it because it's an experiential commodity such that it gets expended and depleted, that everyone has access and have obtained it before? Just that it goes away and it's time to spend resources to once again chase it around corners and highways.
Definitely an inspiring movie, alongside Rocky Balboa I'm sure, even though I didn't watch it. Da bro feels it ended abruptly because the ending was shown in textual form, telling us how Gardner (played by Will Smith) started up his own investment company in the end. I feel it's ok, appeals to business-oriented audiences who don't like to see too long an inspiring movie that drags on for the sake of wasting film. I'm sure we can all agree that there is such a thing as "too much of a good thing".
Feels like I've been to hell and back these few weeks, surviving on token amounts of sleep and becoming brain dead most the time in the day. I'm finally starting to see the light at the end of this depression cycle. Thanks Aaron for suggesting the movie.
Useless fact of the day: it was Will Smith's son that starred with him in the movie, The Pursuit of Happyness. The reason for the intentional spelling mistake (happiness and not happyness) is because Gardner was taking his son to school (after a domestic argument with his wife) and was asking him about a spelling mistake his son had made in school. It may have become the title to remind us to keep our heads up when pursuing happiness and to do it with reckless abandon akin to the way a child does. Will Smith cried in this movie twice - once when he was down and out till he had to pretend that they were chased by dinosaurs before spending the night in the subway toilet with his son. Tears of shame rolled down as he took in the sorry state they were in. His wife split. The second time, he cried tears of joy as his tough days working as an intern in a stock broker company were over and he was picked to be a broker despite not being qualified officially.

That child
bawling his eyes out on the park bench
and his father putting a reassuring arm around his slouching shoulder
telling him that everything is ok
until his quivering frame becomes a blurred ball of minute movement that blends into the background.
Nothing can possibly bring back that sense of helplessness that we once had, that feeling that everything has something fearful about it; it all goes away.
And stare someone in the eye, why don't you, and tell him or her that you don't miss that feeling at all?
