Dear Roberta Sparrow, I have reached the end of your book and… there are so many things that I need to ask you. Sometimes I’m afraid of what you might tell me. Sometimes I’m afraid that you’ll tell me that this is not a work of fiction. I can only hope that the answers will come to me in my sleep. I hope that when the world comes to an end, I can breathe a sigh of relief, because there will be so much to look forward to.
donnie darko was… wow. from a convo with a friend recently, i was reminded to watch it, cos the last time i tried to over a year ago, i couldn’t find all of the parts online! it’s the type of film-experience you can’t convey in words so you have to watch it by yourself (i always think that, if you can summarize a movie aptly to a person who hasn’t caught it yet, it’s probably not a good movie). i’d say it’s deeply personal even, to a certain extent. i’ll deffo watch it again! this time the original though. cos it give you a lot to think about… hmm
the other really mess-with-your-head type of intense movie that i caught recently, was Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (on the plane back from shanghai, long live SIA! 
) . it’s this swedish film adapted from a post-humous novel by stieg larsson. it’s a potent part-hannibal lector, part-murder mystery combination that’s seriously good. but it’s traumatizing though, you’ll have to watch to find out why haha (it has a r21 advisory). anyway just a word of caution though, if you have a weak heart like me, don’t watch either at night, and DEFINITELY not alone! cos you won’t be able to sleep for the rest of the night.
with that being said i’m going off now!! just realised i haven’t finished my chores (read: a mountain of dishes… and it’s 2am now) and i have to wake up at 8 tomorrow, le sigh. hope i don’t crash and burn like today
