The camp went great during the weekend. The people in AIESEC are a very genial bunch and it's always easy to approach strangers and start chatting. (Or it might be just me, hehe) In the space of one night, I met people from Indonesia, Malaysia, Mauritius, Poland, India and Argentina! My OGX officer, Ching Yong was apparently well-known as the reliable sort and that was why I got my match so quick. I have so many lucky stars to thank! As Ching Yong is graduating, he passed my account to Timothy who was equally enthusiastic (plus, he shares my love for cats too) so it's a double Yay! When I come back from Japan, I want to help students go overseas too. Pay it forward u know? Spread the fortune. Thinking about it, I should keep in touch with Sharon, she's such a sweetie.

Got a call I would rather have missed. Argh, I hate my new phone. Why did I drop the previous one?! Now, I can't screen calls. Was a very exasperating conversation:

R: Why don't you pop by over for a haircut? Or a dye job? Or how about treatment?
RJ: No need lah. Thank you, it's very nice of you. But I told you I want to keep my hair long.
R: Really! And free!! You don't have to pay me you know. A trim? I neaten it, give your hair shape. Take no length off.
RJ: To trim is to cut, right?
R: Ok, then how about treatment?
RJ: No time.
R: ...I just want to repay you by doing your hair.
RJ: o.O *weird...I'd rather get an injection than allow the fella to touch my hair.*

I was desperate for a movie today and I just didn't want to watch Troy. Why would I wanna walk out of the theatre after 160 minutes only to remember Brad Pitt's butt? Thing is, I never knew he bared his butt until 46523542 females told me about it. Anyway I didn't see any men in that movie. Eric Bana alone isn't enough. An example of a good movie is the Last Samurai where men are MAN. *laughs* It's even better when the whites were overshadowed by the Asians. But I digressed. So I suddenly remembered The Day After Tomorrow and decided to catch that. I like the movie alot! I'm a sucker for movies about Doomsday and freak weather. TDAT is the mother of all freak weather movies and I recommend it to everyone. I loved the scenes where several tornadoes were sweeping LA and where the tidal waves engulfed Manhatten. I was awed. Very very awed. I am not sure how much more History or Literature students enjoy this movie but geography students shouldn't give it a miss.

The movie was fantastic but the audience was terrible. Someone's cellphone only went off twice so it's OK I guess. There was man who belched very loudly a few times and that was plain disgusting. Another fella in the corner snored. I also heard another guy making grunt-like noises. Yucks. Why are men such disgusting creatures? And there are women who put up with it and date these fellas?! The last time I went out for a movie with a guy alone, he made some funny noises too (though soft) and didn't smell too good. That was the last time I ever want to hear from him. Now I know why I prefer watching movies alone. There are people vehemently against watching alone but I love it. No funny smells, no stupid remarks no nothing.

I did have a few very fun movie dates with a buddy of mine long ago. He was the best male to watch a movie with. Quiet, smells lovely and intelligent. Good looking too. Pity he discovered his preferred sexual orientation. He said he liked me alot but then he turned gay. *sniff*

Talk about Life slapping you in the face.
