windy weekend

i was really looking forward for the weekend so that i could catch my breath, relax and get some homeworks done. yes, i did catch my breath, relaxed (tv, movie, drum) and LITTLE homework done! :-(

so, i watched 'gladiator' last night. yeah, finally... to watch it in movie theatre back home would be NO FUN with all the 'skippings' happening. it's a great movie. wow! i'm glad i choose that movie. and then, i slept for 9 hours. piggie me. :-P

it was 'homecoming' on our campus too. saw many marching bands at the field! wow! there's a free entrance to a football show (american football) on campus. it's supposed to be huge. well, i was lazy to walk there all alone... besides, nobody to go to a game with...ahhh, how boring. i went back to my apartment, drummed...watched tv. and saw the fireworks! from the stadium!!! wow! felt like july 4th :-P there you go, i was telling A, 'our 1 semester's tuition fee! all gone...up in the air, exploded, illuminated the sky for a sec and gone with the wind'! urgh! since i didn't wanna 'get my money worth', i pulled her from her room, and we ran outside to get a better view. in our balcony, we're blocked by some trees! hahaha...

sunday afternoon, went to see 'waiting for godot'. gee, luckily i got the complimentary ticket. i fell asleep twice! see? waiting doesn't work for me, i'd fall asleep :-P i'm not saying the play wasn't good. it...it is just i'm not very into a text-y play. that's all. anyway, it's a great play to study about human, anthropology, philosophy, etc... it's about how people act and react when they have nothing to do, how would they pass the time (of having time to themselves), about time versus happenings. all i've to say to those who have no idea what this play is about - godot never turn up. it's all about waiting. now, lets do some reflections - are you waiting for someone (or something significant to happen) now? and while waiting, what do you do now, to 'kill the time'? *thinking*

then, CA and i (CA went for 'godot' with me, got her the comp ticket, thanks to A! at least we didn't feel bad to our wallets for failing to stay awake!) went to the starbucks next door. gee, how much had i resisted myself from stepping into that 'drug heaven'?!! i just 'followed' and i ended up buying an americano and sitting there, having a great chat with her. oh well...

watched 'shall we dance' - the japanese movie after starbucks. it's a great movie as well. i learned something about japanese culture ;-) so, they're 'not loud', they keep to themselves most of the time, practices alot of 'intuitive thinking' (something that's what it means behind the gestures and/or words said). kinda similar to the chinese culture. :-)

i better do something about my homeworks before i sleep...
