Brokeback

Boy , u came with another big bush , told u to manage it here more often ... Dun worry , i'll handle it and make u pretty ... U have quite a round face , so ... no short hair for u ... U wanna dye or highlight ur hair ... ? I think u need to do ur hair ... come , let me teach u how ...

No thanks , that'll be an extra charge of $2 right ? Thats my reply ...

Thats all what my hairdresser said to me today . He's a very gay man , with many auntie fans . Every auntie had their hair permed and dyed there ... i guess ... Well , he clipped my hair up like some kinda doll , then he told me silly jokes . He flipped open this very large book , and he told me to look how handsome the Japanese guys are with their handsome hairstyles . So , i took a look ... and today's movie already turned me off enough , i dun wanna look something like that . So , he decided on one , and told me not to sleep ... because i was moving my head . I remember horrible experiences down at the Malay barber . They were very rude , i told them not to cut any shorter ... and they made it worse . This guy , isnt that bad , he told me that he'll leave it as it is , but it came out ... to be a hell lot shorter . Business hasnt been good , the place was empty when i stepped in . Well , his skills arent really that good , but sure he has good characters to run a shop by himself , his Dad may occasionally visit him . I had my cut , and now its shorter , thats all i care ...

Went to school , and was late for tutorial . Karen was going through some work , i didnt do anything in class ... just tried to understand what she was going through , at least her lessons are somehow better . I understood everything she said today , even corrected some of her mistakes . Well , had fun in class . Karen answered the same question Christoven and i asked at least a few times , we rephrased it in different ways ... which revolves around the same answer . She was ... funny ... and she was so 'pissed' off .

After that , ate with Fairul and Jwen . Then we decided to go ... watch 'Brokeback Mountain' in school or in the library . In the end , we went to the library , since school has no such private place for us to watch this kinda movie . This movie is rated R21 , but we watched it in the library secretly , with a laptop . Jwen booked a room , so Fairul and i watched the movie , while we played another movie on the TV , so that nobody would suspect anything . Anyway , i think its fine to watch something like that , its not porn , its just a movie with mature themes , that people below 21 are usually not mature enough to accept such themes , and of course , sexual scenes . Well , Fairul was bloody excited about the movie , im not . Jwen and Fairul were like debating over who's handsome and who's not , well ... i dunno ... they both dun really look good enough . The movie was really ... boring somehow . They talk and talk and talk , non-stop . The other movies that talk alot are somehow different , at least they have nice graphics or music . This one doesnt ... and though its somehow kinda sweet how love can exist between married guys , and how it got them together , but its still bloody weird . Jwen was disgusted ... and i was fine , Fairul was smiling at the scenes . Well , the thought of leaving their wives for their own true love , though is selfish , but its beyond their control and understanding . Maybe i didnt got the chance to appreciate the movie , because of distractions around in the room . Fairul was cursing and giving so many comments when the movie was playing ... Wheneva the guys kiss their wives , he'll scream and curse , and same goes to the scenes where they showed nudity , and they showed breasts . Fairul had class , so he couldnt finish the movie with us , Jwen , Evan , who came later , and i watched it ... and fastforward here and there ... It was boring . Anyway , AngLee , the director of this film ... definitely won himself many awards this time , for such a revolutionary film . However , dun u find it weird that his last movie was actually ... 'The Hulk' , 'Crouching Tiger , Hidden Dragon ' , now ... every movie doesnt have quite a link ... unlike most directors do . Anyway , this movie had the best director , he generated the most buzz and probably changed the way a lot of people think .

The movie 'Brokeback Mountain' is based on this winning short story , by Annie Proulx , surprisingly ... a woman . This project was decided after AngLee wanted to turn to a smaller budget independent film . This story involves forbidden love between 2 homosexual Wyoming cowboys . Aside from the social issue, the maturity of Lee’s directing skills with his compassionate to the human emotions in 'Brokeback Mountain' has been easily sweeping the major film festival and accumulated numerous awards . AngLee , now regarded as the most favorite role model in Taiwan , acknowledged that he was not happy about the seemly political decision of not letting a movie about gays to win the 'Best Film' award .

While in the room , Noozli was there before Evan came , and he was watching the Chinese film on the TV . I ate a drumstick there ... and took pictures with Jwen's clip-on earrings . Jwen is a girl who doesnt dare to pierce her ears ... and thats ... weird ... So , she'll rather wear clip-on earrings or sticker earrings ...

Went back to school , and played the Piano for awhile , then ... walked around , then practiced the Pipa at the lounge , with SiHan at another level . After that , i felt really tired ... so i decided to go home .

Met YongXiong at around 6pm at YioChuKang MRT station . Passed him the photo albums of CSCO ... he said it was urgent , but then he told me its for personal use actually . Funny ... but nevermind ... I headed to cut my hair next , while he walked to AngMoKio .

Just watched another movie at home , now im going down for dinner , 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' . It was really good ... thrilling and interesting . I love movies such as 'X-Men' and stupid stuff like that ... Well , this one was different , a mix of all . The league consisted of a hunter , a scientist , a vampire , an invisable man , an immortal , a young man and a beast . Well , the immortal was a spy , for this masked madman , called TheFantom , who threatened to launch global armageddon . So this hunter , a legendary adventurer AllanQuatermain commanded this legion of superheroes , the likes of which mankind has never seen . This movie is no doubt interesting and ... very ... nice ... I love the vampire , she is so ... beautiful , the immortal also not bad ...

Anyway , going to watch another one later after dinner . Tomorrow i'll be having my aural exam . Wish everybody the best of luck .
