Independence Day (Saint Vincent And The Grenadines)/Boxer Shorts Day
2004-10-27 @ 11:14 p.m.

Note to Ben: You might like today's e-card for Boxer Shorts Day, A Special Clothesness! Go look at it. Oral presentation today didn't go too well, thought at least the skit didn't screw up too badly. Quite irritated by the whole damned business again. Well, what was I expecting when we cobbled the presentation together this morning? Only good thing about this morning was finishing Hardy, whom I much prefer to Eliot. Jennifer is disturbingly like Eustacia, but more on that later. I think I liked the first group's presentation best. Jennifer acting as a bimbo, Joseph as an Ah Beng, and Yi-Xun as a bastard is just too funny for words. Did time-keeping, which is another of those lame restrictions the MOE imposes in PW. I also discovered what handphone model I want to possess, or an updated version of it. It's Ming Yong's handphone! The cover is this interesting metallic blue, which is actually what I most like about it, come to think of it...

We were bored after the presentations, so we decided to troop down to Alliance Française to watch Clean, since it hasn't yet been released commercially. Got there, only to discover they had three tickets left. (There were five of us.) Wasn't really upset though, because I raided the ZoCard holder, and I've added not a few fetching postcards to my collection. Then we wented to watch some other French film in Orchard, but we went to the wrong cinema. Ended up watching Maria Full Of Grace, which none of us knew anything about except Chernie, who claimed it was about a nun. Turns out the movie wasn't even in English, and it was about Colombian women acting as mules for drug traffickers. It's really gross! They put the powder into pellets, and then the women have to swallow them. One of the women in the film died, because the pellet broke while it was inside her, and she overdosed. Maria's friend is this irritating twit, who actually reminds me of a senior CAP councillor from my year. Not the bit about being an irritating twit, it was her face and her size, to be awfully blunt. Lovely show, makes you feel fortunate to live in Singapore. The effect probably lasts two days at a maximum. (Here I sit, the eternal cynic.) Still, all of you should watch it. Children Of Heaven is nothing compared to this.
