"carpe diem"

almost one year late but I am so glad that I chose to watch 'dead poets society (1989)' today

haven't bawled like a baby over a movie ever since 'hachiko- a dog's tale (2009)' last year & what really surprised me was despite a pretty orthodoxical plot (in my opinion), when expressed in the realm of literature & the battle against conformity, I think I died a little inside even before Neil put a bullet through himself

watching this movie really affirms the conviction to take literature as subject next year
why not when my heart throbbed when mr keating said "this is a battle, a war, and the casualties could be your hearts and souls", when it flew along with todd as he threw "the world's first unmanned flying desk set"

am I a "man" or an "amoeba"?

can't see myself struggling through two years of wishing that "carpe diem" sank through the convoluted waterways of my confused state

not going to do a personal review on it because the mediocrity of my review & inability to do the movie justice through accurate linguistic expression will just undermine the movie as a whole

virgin experience at kino today, got lost on my way there & inside
but for once the idea of getting both physically & cognitively lost
was actually really nice

it's the kind of "lost" that i want to befriend

spent fifteen minutes looking up at the shelves containing dostoevsky's works
bemoaning the lack of 'the brothers karamazov' in paperback
& contemplating over 'notes from the underground' or 'the gambler'

chose the former instead & I am really excited to enter the heart of philosophical debates about the human condition (according to the review), it's the only kind of philosophy I'll be interested in (pretty funny how we all termed "philo" lessons in school as "pillow" haha)

turns out, the bunny has the novel too!
love how we don't even try

malay papers went pretty okay today (I think), hopefully all will be well (especially lc which comes across as gibberish to me because I absolutely cannot comprehend it spoken at a bullet-train pace)

I can finally do what I deem fit

John keating: 'Now we all have a great need for acceptance, but you must trust that your beliefs are unique, your own, even though others may think them odd or unpopular, even though the herd may go (imitating a goat) "that's baaaaad." 

Robert Frost said "two roads diverged in the wood & I, I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference".'
