weird.
sunday weekend's been pretty quiet. went shopping yesterday for groceries and some other stuff that i was looking for. in any case, watching spiderman 3 was the highlight of the week.
anyway, was at eslite bookstore to look at some cds, cards and books. the whole place is huge. and i mean huge. think 9 stories of kinokuniya back in singapore. it is that huge. so yeah. was browsing through the music sections, looking for the cds that my mum wanted. and when i did find it and went to pay for it, the cashier gave me a weird look. for starters, the cashier was a guy and the cds that i was paying for were that of a certain F4 member. so you can understand why now. but i still feel a bit put off by this sort of glances and looks from guys who cannot appreciate the opposite gender.
so yeah. for a very quiet weekend, today's been noisy in the sense that i've planted my butt down in front of the home theater system and watch dvds all day. right now v for vendetta is playing and i must say, i've never gotten bored of the show no matter how many times i've watched it. the subtle messages that you can pick up, the very fact that we can relate in one way or another to the characters of the show. all in all, it's a damn good show.
how many times have we felt that we were under some form of oppression, that what may seem as usual, monotonous and common, is in fact, very questionable. how many times have we felt that the very system in place is a farce? that the system in some, or even many ways is flawed? don't get me wrong. i'm fine with the system. i don't want to question how it's run because quite simply, why should an efficient and clean system be changed when there's nothing wrong with it? have we thought about it? that it is actually the people within the system that are flawed: personal agendas, differing opinions and school of thought.
food for thought perhaps? then again, if thinking about how the world affects your life is not your cup of tea, it's all fine. there will come a day whether you like it or not, you will wonder how,why, when and where things can affect you in more ways than one.
have a good week. mine's shaping up nicely for now.
