The Hair and The Maid

It really takes quite a bit of effor to make it out on the streets. Its not the length of my hair that really matters, but the uneveness of my hair cut. I think the 'sponsor' of the charity event really did a bad job, haha.

I wanted to shave myself completely bald, but my mum disallowed. Also, i do not have the tools to do either, except for my shaving blades which i cant possibly do myself (cos my mum refuses to help). She asked me to go to the barber, but it doesn make sense to me cos i will be spending $$$ on the haircut when i am supposed to raise funds. I shall leave it alone.

Went to watch "The Maid" jus now with some old frens (yeah i only watch horror movies). Instead of commenting whether it is a good or bad movie, i shall jus state down how i felt after watching the movie:

1) The maid doesn look like one. She looks more like a model, really quite pretty.
2) The fear element is instilled among the audience by sudden pop-outs of ghostly (but not so scary) images + screechy sounds, the plot is neither intriguing nor scary.
3) The ghosts in the movie doesn look scary also, but look more like puppets or mannequins.
4) The movie has an interesting twist towards the ending, though not v original, but i like it.
5) The way they promote and intro the movie does not match what the movie is abt.
6) Storyline of this movie is definitely interesting, but the movie does not bring out the exasperation of the maid , who is supposed to be struggling with her life in a foreign land not knowing the cultures and customs.

Sounds quite negative eh? But i still like the movie and find it very nice. Basically, i like local context movies or stories that I can relate to. Something tat is near and true to myself, and not something too far fetched or i cant imagine them to be. A good example wud be 2 stories i sent to Jane. I prefer the 2nd one while she prefered the first. Pls pardon me, but i feel the 1st story is v kuazhang and cliche' (guy lying on the hosp bed, gal patiently waits by the bed hoping he will open his eyes).

Alrite tok too much tonite.
