Day Lockheart

Shenn introduced me to this movie “21″ just yesterday, and here I’m posting about it! It’s about Ben, who recounts his story about his college life to a chancellor/headmaster to dazzle him so he can get a scholarship. And his college life, was about beating the game - Blackjack/21.

It is loosely based on real-life event, but not exactly accurate. Card counting is not as difficult as the movie portrayed it to be. Ben was picked to join the team because of his logical mind, and superb memory skills.

And I wondered. I wondered… (…)

Today, as I was uploading photographs onto Facebook (yea, seems like everyone else is on it now!), I was laughing. And smiling. The photographs I uploaded, were a bunch of class-photos I took out from a folder on my bookshelf and scanned in. I’m sure we have a lot to say about those photos, because the memories back then were never lost. It would be so much fun to just sit down with everyone and reminisce. It would be… more than a lot. Hopefully that day will come, may not be soon, but one day!

I went back to my secondary school earlier today, and I swear I’m envy of my juniors now:

Point 1: Touchscreen PCs, and touchscreen whiteboards/visualizers. OMG. OHP was the best we ever got.
Point 2: Beanbags. Those would make library my favorite place in school!
Point 3: The $300 sofas as claimed by our principal. Sweet.

I didn’t get to see many teachers nor juniors who I knew, but those I did managed to meet and talked to were awesome. And I finally saw Miss Lim Peilin (my former form teacher) while we were playing street soccer! Telling her that I got promoted to JC2, was really delightful. For a moment, I felt proud of myself.

Narcissism

nar⋅cis⋅sism
–noun
1. inordinate fascination with oneself; excessive self-love; vanity.
2. Psychoanalysis. erotic gratification derived from admiration of one’s own physical or mental attributes, being a normal condition at the infantile level of personality development.

How do one determine if another is a narcissist?

#1. He shaves himself, or waxes on a regular basis. The victimized areas would usually be places that would be noticeable, which means the rocket launch zone is out of the question. But you wouldn’t really know…

#2. He enjoys telling people that he shaved, or going to do so. There is a certain degree of profoundness in that, which cannot be explained. Think of it as a child who would run home to tell his mommy that he managed to do 1+1=2. It’s a personal achievement.

The inspiration to write this text of awesomeness, is from one of my friends who decided to wax! We made fun of him all day because of his plans. The argument is to look neat, be tidy, hence people wax. It would be right in a way, combing leg hair is far too absurd.

It may be a personal choice, but we definitely have something to say about it - reasons don’t stand a chance. Something sleazy, something easy. Some here is my burning question:
