Sorry guys but can we just talk about christopher nolan?

I could go on and on about ridiculous things. I could go on about absolutely anything else right now, but this is more important, I can't hold it in. I can't keep it in anymore..... I need to talk about...... Christopher Nolan.




This man is an absolute geniuuuus. 

He's full of twists and turns and surprises. Like the magical pot at the end of every rainbow. Like a unicorn. Or a minotaur, is that makes it any manlier. 

In my opinion, a good movie is a good movie, and a bad movies are just bad and all that yadda yadda yadda.... But a great movie? A movie that stays in your head long after its over. A movie that makes you want to just talk about it, not just be like "oh it was nice" when its over and go on with your life. A movie that makes you really think about it, even when you're about to go to sleep (at least for me la)

And so far the only person who will probably ever invoke such deep thoughts in my head (when i'm not thinking about things like shihlin seafood tempura (poor example. I think about seafood tempura constantly) or the bit of dry skin at the end of my nose LOL) is Christopher Nolan.

I mean come on. Take for instance, the number one movie of all time (or maybe MY number one movie of all time), inception.

LIKE WTF HOW MIND BLOWING WAS THAT MOVIE??

I watched that movie like 3 times. 3 hours each. 3 times in the cinema. I don't  know how many times i've watched it outside the cinema alone. 

The first 2 times i felt like it was a good movie. The 3rd time, however....... Kind of changed my life LOL. Like a switch just flipped and I just GOT IT. Ok no lah not that dramatic. But it made me think a lot. Especially that ending. GOD HOW BRILLIANT WAS THAT ENDING?? IT MADE ME SO ANGRY AND SAD BUT GLAD AT THE SAME TIME. AND THE SOUNDTRACKS. WHAT FEELS. 

I read a lot of people's reviews of the movie online and a few people were saying that is mediocre??? WHAT. This movie just topped my list and set the bar so high, 4 years later (IT'S BEEN 4 YEARS?? SEEMS LIKE JUST YESTERDAY) my favourite movie is STILL inception, but its mediocre?? It was anything BUT. Come on, it was EPIC. Maybe the whole idea of the movie is mediocre. If it was under any other director, maybe it could've been mediocre. But it isn't just directed by anyone. Its Christopher Nolan. And he made a mediocre idea so freaking epic. A masterpiece of great proportions *goosebumps

And its not just Inception. Its dark knight. The prestige. (Transcendence would've been a perfect film for him to direct!!! WHYYYYYYYYYY) (Christopher Nolan passed on the directing to someone else for Transcendence *cue heartbreaking)

But you know what is even better than a movie directed by Christopher Nolan? 

If the movie's soundtrack is ALSO composed by Hans Zimmer. Seriously, its not like those Avengers cheesy number. I feel like his soundtracks are wayyyy deeper than that, wtf. I sound so stupid but i dunno how to accurately express how i feel. Like his soundtracks ACTUALLY inspire some sort of feelings without any lyrics telling you to "shake dat booty" and all that wtf (not that i'm implying that his music is inspiring me to shake my booty wtf but i hope you get what i mean) (I think you should know by now that i'm very bad at metaphors lol)

Take for example, Time by Hans Zimmer for Inception.


I give you this moment of silence for you to listen to it. Just close your eyes and listen to the slow build up.. Then the instruments joining in gradually.. Then altogether ceasing..




.......Amen *sniffles

Yeah ok i assumed you listened to it. If you didn't, seriously, go away (if not why bother reading this far!!) But yeah. I've listened to this soundtrack since the release of Inception. I still can't get over it. Idk.. The feels *watery tear ducts

Ok la basically Hans Zimmer + Christopher Nolan = epicness. Like they were made for each other. The epitome of perfect.

Ok sorry (not sorry) for the verbal diarrhea. I initially wrote A LOT MORE (WHAT CAN I SAY THIS LOVE IS DEEP) but aiya way to wordy. Maybe another post LOLOL ok you guys don't need to come back anymore, I understand fml.

DIY

Soooo I was very free (actually I had to study, but its called procrastination) and I made this:


Cost me RM6 for the chiffon, and old tube top and 2 hours! 

Thinking back i should've added straps too, but that could've taken like another hour? Damn small little straps are the hardest to sew. And plus if i wanted to add a strap i should've done it earlier and sew it altogether. I still can last minute add them but it wouldn't be so neat in terms of sewing and i can't stand that lol.

If you were wondering how i did it, i basically tried to copy this top i bought from bershka for rm40 lol. The result isn't exactly alike but i'm still happy with the outcome ^^

And nah some progress pics:


Muahahaha i finally made something i would actually wear out LOLOL. Oh and bought more laces and materials to work with!! Gonna try my hand at sewing lace and whatnot hehe. I'm so excited but i have exams :/ gonna be hard to refrain myself from doing anything but study, but most probably by the time you are reading this, i'll have already done something about it heh.

Uni and work life


Finishing off alevels and probably moving on to uni soon, probably within this year.. New chapter and all that stuff, woohoo, and from there..... Probably my last chance of my LIFE being able to enjoy my life as a young adult. After uni, work comes after that. Probably gonna be at a desk, werking a 9-5 job, going home have dinner sleep wake up go to work and all that crap...... Why do i put myself through college and uni to do this crap?

Oh right. Cause later got no future haih. Whatever you do, you do for better future prospects, not cause you wanna be happy

I mean, who the fuck will be like "oh i'm studying accountancy to be happy / help ppl with their accounts cause it brings me joy" who. The. Fuck??

No. We're doing everything now for our future prospects. It doesn't mean its gonna be a happy one, or even a fulfilling one. And don't even get me started on fulfillment. A job won't make you happy or fulfilled. In the movies, yes. For some people, yes. But what about our future prospects? Yep can hardly have one without the other. This is the real life. 

I mean come on. Don't tell me thousands of people enrolled in a business course are doing it to be happy. Like counting figures for the rest of their lives is gonna be so heart racing and adrenaline pumping.  Like you'd want to do it again and again for the rest of your life cause its so goddamned fulfilling dammit. Like waking up fresh every morning at 8am getting sooooo excited and spilling your coffee on yourself, just to do whatever you did yesterday, or day before yesterday, probably your accounts and whatever is it normal people do at an office (certainly not drinking booze and having fun & games like in the Wolf of Wall Street)

But if you want to be enthusiastic about things...... Perhaps that paycheck could get that bag you wanted for so long. Or a night out having fun. Or a trip to Thailand. Or not. Oh sorry did you forget your rent, electricity bill, phone bill and food........ I'm pretty sure you won't be living with your parents forever, are ya?

OH MY GOD I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT THIS. What about.......... Your family of your own!!! BABIES!!! KIDS!! EDUCATION!! COLLEGE? YES MORE EDUCATION, UNIVERSITY!!! PAY PAY PAY WOOOOHOOOO SO EXCITING.

Nope, sorry. I'd rather shrink and die.

Honestly, I don't know whats the point of this post. I mean obviously, yeah some people can still get both of fulfillment and ensured future prospects... But idk i feel like its so hard for people like me. I don't know how to have both without sacrificing another. So yea............ I wasn't feeling so broody earlier but now I am. I'm such a party pooper, yay!

Jastars

AHOOYYYY narcissism ahead!
Sooo happy to receive these stuff from Jastars!

White chiffon top! (and yeah that skirt. Again) Super love this piece and sooo many reasons why!
1. The straps are adjustable like HALLELUJAH not everybody's chest lumps hang so low ok!
2. Double layered so it's not see through. No annoying inside cami/tube and all that.
3. SUPER VERSATILE. Can match with anything i own. Must-have in my personal opinion.

Mint flower skirt ^^

Idk why but the bf and sis say they didn't like it but i personally love it leh! Something different for a change. Looove the peekaboo see through mint for the skirt too. Something less safe but more pretty <3

Check out their instagram account at Jastars for more info! Psst top going for RM25 and skirt going for RM38 only leh! This is like sg wang prices but only you don't have to go so far for it! I would've definitely bought it myself lo ^^
