My Day Off (Day 02) - Digging for the truth

Dear readers,

No doubt, Day 01 had been quite eventful, to a point that it even made me reflect on my insurance policy and coverage. As such, I decided to take it a little easy on Day 02. You know, do a little digging in the backyard perhaps. Inspired mainly by the show "Digging for the truth", I set out with my shovel and chisel.

Maybe I'd find some substantial discovery. Find a whole T-Rex. The magnitude of the discovery alone would bring me enough cash to settle my study loan, not to mentioned engrave my name forever in the folds history. I would call him Tibby, after a certain rat I have had the pleasure of making an aquaintance with, back home. Suffice to say, with the intense boredom and hours to kill, I skillfully carved at the cast. I dusted off the debris and after a good one hour, there it was, my fossil, for the world to behold and feast their beady little eyes on.


A Spinosaurus

FYI, in case you are worried if I might be losing it, please take comfort that this whole entry was a result of pure and utter boredom. One I would not wish to even the worst of my enemies. On second thought, why not?

Cruel Cruel Fate

I cannot believe this! Why does fate have to be so cruel? Why! The first time I took this subject, the coursework was as such: Test 1 – 15% Test 2 – 15% Project – 10% Final Exam – 60% I did moderately well for the first test but I flunked the second one. As for the project, I had this sadistic lecturer who failed me without any valid reason. I tried to reason with him but it was pointless. I was so fed up as he would not even listen to any sound reason. How am I to plead my case if I am not even given a chance defend myself or make my point audible? He was so sloppy while marking the project and just rushed off to the next person without even properly ending the current presentation. It was all so confusing as nobody knew if their project was accepted or rejected. My presentation was on the last day, so you could very well imagine the chaos. The second time I took this subject, ...

Pride & Prejudice

Finally, Pride and Prejudice on the big screen! My all time favorite Jane Austen novel. No doubt that there would have been older remakes, both movies and dramas but a newer version is always welcomed. They have been other Austen movies on the big screen as well, namely, Emma, Sense & Sensibility and Mansfield Park. Personally, Emma was adapted well into a screenplay but Sense & Sensibility was a flop. The book itself, to begin with, lacked some personality and that impeccable Austen humour evident in her other books. Pride and Prejudice has a set of well developed characters especially the two main characters Miss Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. There was a mini series in 1995 if I am not mistaken, with Colin Firth as Mr Darcy. He played the role superbly well, potraying Mr Darcy as a cold, insensitive and arrogant man. He is actually a pretty nice guy but only around his family and close friends. An encounter with Miss Bennet however, opened his eyes to the flaws ...
