If You Think You're Alive, Then You're Better Off Dead

Hello there.

Wassup guys. I think... I'm gonna be doing a double entry today. Caz I really feel like typing a lot of stuff down. I want this to go out to all of the depressed/de-motivated/etc. people. Okay?

I've just watched "127 Hours". *SPOILER ALERT* I'm gonna be talking about the movie, so if you haven't watched the movie and you intend to watch it, then you may not wanna read it. But if you want to then.. Good. :) I mean you can always read it after you've watched it.. but, ah well let's get started.

So, 127 Hours is a true story about this mountain climber, Aron Ralston who got trapped in some canyon by a boulder, so he had to amputate his hand to survive. Sounds like a simple plot. Fair enough. I think James Franco acted quite awesome-ly as Aron. And lemme tell you this, Aron Ralston is one crazy man. In a good way of course. Not to mention, he's probably 10 times "manlier" than anyone in the army. (makes it 50 times "manlier" than me.. well, around there.)

So I was just re-running the movie through my head again. And I thought of the main point the show was trying to bring across. It's not gore of course, no. It's all about living your life and getting past your obstacles.

For the simplest reason, the main symbol of the show was the "boulder". His whole journey through the canyon represents life, and obviously, the boulder represents "obstacles" or "problems". A huge one at that. So we can say, it's these problems that hold us back from continuing/completing our journey. It destroys us, emotionally, physically. Like how sometimes we feel, we can't go on in life. It's like this huge weight pulling us down. I mean, just like in the movie.

Then you have the 2 girls he met in the National Park. They probably represent the people who enter our lives and whom you have fun with. But when you're facing your difficulties, they're not there for you/ they don't even know you're suffering. (He was screaming for them when he got trapped) You see, it relates to us so well, because when we face an obstacle, the first thing we all try to do is fight it ourselves (like how he frantically tried to pull his hand out/push the boulder) and when we realize we can't do it, we start looking for help (sometimes to no avail).

And when we're stuck in this pit, we start reflecting (like he did) and regret stuff we shouldn't have or have done. Then you start blaming yourself (like how he should have told people where he went), and then you start giving up(filming his speeches for his parents, all ready to die).

But you see, the crucial part of the show/the turning point, is when you finally start to deal with the obstacles YOURSELF. Because darling, you just have to push yourself further. Whether it's a little or a lot. (I mean, come on dude, he chopped his freaking hand off) It may be soooo painful, so tiring (mentally/physically), you'll want to give up halfway (like how he initially decided not to chop his hand off caz he didn't think he could cut through his bone?) but if you keep trying. You have NO IDEA, NO FREAKING IDEA what you're capable of. (HE CHOPPED OFF HIS HAND!!!!)

So when he finally cut his hand off, and started walking out. You'll realize, there will be more miracles. (Like the "hooks" he found at a cliff so he could climb down to get water) AND you'll start to find people who actually CAN help you. (notice how it was the 2nd time he screamed for help and complete strangers actually turned to help him? And it was their "turning back" that meant so much, because they didn't continue walking ahead/ignore him) All you have to do is just start helping yourself first.

There are probably other parts of the movie that has symbols or whatever. Yea I think that's mainly what I wanted to talk about. You don't give up like that. You don't stay at the same place and wallow in self-pity. You FIGHT. It's your life, you just have to get your lazy ass workin'.

Hahah, it's funny caz, I seldom practise what I preach. This is probably gonna be the same also. But... I really hope it helped you. If you haven't watched the movie, go watch it, maybe you'll understand more and then you can share your thoughts about it too.

Oh btw, I liked the little speech he made, during the movie, it went something like, "I waited my whole life for this rock. Everything I did, caused me to end up where I am now." Or something like that. How so very true. You pay for your actions. You just don't know what's gonna hit you next. It's just life, isn't it?

Wanted to talk about some bitch and some email argument. Guess I'll leave that to next time. Bye guysss.

Humpty Dumpty Just Took A Shit on Your Head.

Hello there.

So I don't know if I should continue publicizing my blog. I mean it's probably irritating for people who don't read it. I mean, I know that since I got irritated with people who did that in the past.

This is another random post. But I decided not to name it "Random Post #2/3/4" or whatever number I stopped at caz.. I didn't feel like it. I guess that's the way I roll. I do whatever I feel like doing. Most of the times I don't care about stuff. Like how I'm feeling now.

So, some of you know that I actually got selected for the Hendon Camp vocational assessment. It's actually a selection/interview/test to pick out young men for the Commando Course. Well, of course, whether you'll pass the course is another thing. So this is like the trial for a trial. Y'know? I went there, feelin' like, same-old-same-old. So to summarize the whole thing, I slacked off for the physical tests (but I'm really unfit also). Essential tremors surprisingly didn't stop them from picking me as a suitable candidate. The interview went well... Too well actually. The guy told me I had the right attitude for commandos etc. But I did list commandos as one of the least preferred vocations. I really don't wanna get in commandos, because I hate hard work. It's as simple as that. I guess I'll just wait to see if I'm gonna be enlisted like a normal recruit or a commando dude then.

What else... oh right. Priorities. Really have to re-assess them. There's so many things I wanna do now. But I don't think I'll ever get started. Firstly, I've gotta find a uni to apply to. Because I don't wanna be a useless fag in the future. The courseeee, I'm not too sure though.

2nd, I think I might pick up more drumming. Just suddenly got the idea. And 3rdly, of course to practise more guitar. But I haven't been improving, as I said, same-old-same-old.

4th, values. Because those are the stuff that guide me. When I was doing the psychological survey thing during the VA at Hendon Camp. I realized that, I had difficulties identifying what kind of person I am. You know how they've got the black and the white people, and the few who live in the grey region. yea I'm one of those assholes.

5th, I wanna get a camcorder. A good one. I don't think I'll pursue film studies. But I might try it out as a hobby. And I might start vlogging. Not sure if I'm gonna set up a youtube channel. but I think it's most prolly for myself. So if you know any kick-ass camcorders, hit me up with it.

6th I want more clothes. I want to dress the best. No actually I wanna look the best. Which brings me to number 7. I'm gonna start working out again. Yes that's right, I'm not gonna lie and say it's just for fitness. I want a smoking hot bod because I'm realistic that way. (and of course it's for fitness as well.) Btw, I have a really small head, waaayyy too small for my body. Don't like it. Random fact aside....

8th, there isn't anymore I think. I want to be an angmoh. I want to be able to sing as well as Jared Leto. Are those counted? Oh I have a new one.

I want to be a girl. A very pretty one at that. I think some of you already know. Hot girls really do have it their way. They get anything they want. People care more for them. Good looks are really very important. People can say looks eventually fade and all that will be left to prove your worth is your inner beauty blah blah blah. Bullshit. Looks always give you the advantage. No matter what. And being a pretty girl means having guys do stuff for you. It doesn't work the other way round.

OKayz, too lazy to continue. Buhbye.

Nobody Lives in Shades of Grey. Nobody.

Hello there.

Waaazzuuupppbi man. I'll tell you what's up. School's over for me!!!!!!!!!1!!11!!!one!!

It's funny caz the other students are still studying for exams.............. hahaha. Okay just kidding.

But anywayz, I haven't been blogging for long. I've got loads of shit to type, but I kinda just forgot everything. I think I gave this situation a name. But I forgot. So I'm gonna give it a new one, "Blogblock". Hahah get it, caz it sounds like... y'know.

Okayyy, so I'm just gonna share youtube videos again! Yayz! And this time, it's all AZN stuff. I mean c'mon, we gotta have azn pride. And I'm telling you there's one video that you definitely won't wanna miss.

FIRST UP, I've been listening to a lot of rap music recently, (don't ask me why. But I like it. And who said rockers hate rap?) anddd I kinda remembered a video that I found some time back. And it's got quite a number of views now! Soooo, people who know this guy, pleasseeee tell him he's awesomeee. He calls himself Shigga-shay, a local rapper, and seriously, I think he re-wrote the rap for Nothin' On You. So, HERE'S THE LINK. Local talent right there.

Annndddd, those of you who are korean fannnzzz, you have to check theseeeee videos for the lulz. Cute kids fighting with taekwondo. And HERE for some retarded stuff. The titles speak for themselves. (and just when we thought the japs were the weird ones)

"Video that you don't wanna miss"right up! Okay guys, so you know, Valentine's Day kinda just passed? So apparently, someone caught a footage of some kind of couple showdown in Somerset MRT (if you guys don't know where that is, you need to get a life). Here's the link >>> BAMZ. WATCH IT FIRST, I don't wanna spoil it for you.

Y'know, it's good that we finally get to see some action online, besides all the STOMPers shizzz.

But there are a few reasons why I think that was fake,

1. I could really hear them. Like their words can be heard very very clearly, esp the girl in the red hair? I mean her back was facing the cam at first. And she didn't exactly raise her voice. ANd I mean, from a phone's camera? The audio will probably pick up a lot more background noise.

2. What the hell is with that plastic bottle? Seriously? So tell me, if you catch your boy/girlfriend cheating on you, the best defense you can come up with is, "You're using a plastic bottle." Btw, the red haired girl was really being a bitch.

3.Mannnn, notice how at 2.16, the girl just stops conveniently in front of the camera to cry with her really dramatic facepalm? I mean, the most logical thing to do after humiliating yourself publicly is probably run the hell away from there, crying. Not turn around, pause, cry, and stomp away.

4. Who the hell freaking censors the F word on youtube? (I mean, I know some youtubers, buttt) See, if you really just happened to walk past something interesting like this and video-ed it down because you wanna share it with the world just for the lulz, then why bother making the effort to censor the vulgarities?

5. If you really still think it's real then, you probably should watch this too. >> KABOOOMZ. See the resemblance between both videos? I mean it's almost like the same script, same story progression etc etc.

So yeaaapp, my judgement would be, this video's a fake. But I think it was a good try. Y'know tryin' te get the video viral. It's probably some kind of lame viral marketing stint for some bottled drink company or something. Or maybe even a school project that's why they had to censor the F word.

So that's all for the video sharing, really hope you guys had a nice break watching those videos. I mean since you're probably all stressed out from exams or other reasons. Soooo, I'm gonna start planning what I'm gonna be doing in my free time. See you guys soon. :)
