A Simple Life
Have been pretty contented with life these days. No longer face so much pressure at work, all colleagues are getting along well, and get-togethers line up every week. Parents bought an oven toaster around 2 weeks back, but only got white bread and butter today. Yay, can enjoy toasted bread every morning now, at least for now, till I get sick of it. Have a microwave oven at home but have only used it twice or thrice. Honestly, I think a toaster oven is so much more useful, can be used to cook toasted bread, pizza, cookies, nuggets, hotdogs, luncheon meat, perhaps even scrambled eggs (maybe one day will experiment), and also be used to reheat food. Plus I have this irrational fear of using microwave oven, so, it's a piece of junk to me.
I watched "Captain America: The Winter Soldier", "Divergent", and "Noah" for the past three consecutive days. It is in the order of decreasing likeability. Captain America is really awesome. Already tried praising it to high heavens on instagram so shall not repeat now. Have long heard of an actor named Chris Evans but never knew how he looked like, lol. I didn't watch any of his previous films too. Anyway, I just realized how dashing he is. Made me rather envious. Too bad he has never really garnered any awards before. But it's okay, still earning big bucks, especially when his standout role as Captain America, or perhaps Human Torch, further catapulted him to fame. I think that it is a big challenge trying to make a movie out of something from the Bible. It raises a lot of doubts, especially for non-believers. It is hard to take things the way as it is. Some things can get away in the name of a movie, like a new technological advancement, some new animal species, an unprecedented disease, or even supernatural powers, but things that seriously compromise logic, like surviving nine months on an ark with a highly likely lack of food, that is very difficult to swallow. "Noah" is a depressing depressing movie, until the last 15 minutes or so. Actually I am scared of dying. I have always been. But the reason why I'm scared is the way that I'm going to die in. If I can die painless, I don't mind dying anytime, to exchange my life for someone else or something like that. But to die slowly while struggling and floundering in the water, or to experience the excruciating pain of a gunshot wound, that's what makes me scared. Yeah in conclusion the fear of dying is actually the fear of the torture or pain. "Noah" made me wish I could just close my eyes peacefully and never to wake up again. So depressing.
Met up with Chin Foong yesterday. First met at a volunteer event 3 years back. Same school, different class, but happened to get along very well. I appreciate people like her - willing to be there to lend a helping hand anytime, sensible, adventurous, sentimental, will take initiative to ask me out. Only downside is that she likes to ask me for treats. Straightforward, good, but like leeching friends, not very good. Still a good friend to have though. Going to attend Daniel's 21st party next Saturday evening.
Random: biggest hope currently is to confirm travel plans in July.
Ok, don't emo. Shall end off with this very sweet song from GReeeeN. 4 'e's for 4 members, by the way. They are all dentists. Green and grin, some pun I guess.
