my post title makes me feel like zhiying ._.
haha just came back from ju-on! watched ju-on, horror film! D: after i come hwachong i watch so many horror films lor 自己吓自己 omg haha. this really trains my courage man!
sold bubbletea! jonathan is my new idol. he is damn pro he act like he know everyone! then alot of people buy from him, make me feel very ashamed of myself :| i must learn how to make small talk. let me research.
okay i found a website. it states a few safe topics..
1. Talk about the weather (i always do hahahahahahahahhahahahha)
2. Talk about current events. Steer clear from controversial issues. Sports news is a very common topic, especially if a local team or player is in a tournament or play-off or doing extremely well or badly. Entertainment news, such as a celebrity who is in town, is another good topic. If there is something that you and the other speaker has in common, that may also be acceptable to talk about. For example, if the bus is extremely full and there are no seats available you might talk about reasons why. (LOL WTH HAHA IF I TALK ABOUT THE NO SEATS THING FOLLOWING THE WEBSITE I THINK I MAY JUST FAINT DUE TO AWKWARDNESS)
3. Compliments on clothing or hair are acceptable; however, you should never say something (good or bad) about a person's body.
4. Negative comments about another person not involved in the conversation are also not acceptable: when you do not know a person well you cannot be sure who their friends are.
5. Also, it is not safe to discuss subjects that society deems controversial such as religion or politics. (oh my tian i committed this one -.- too late for regrets. anyway this is a thing of The Past)
6. Dont continue talking about an issue that the other person does not seem comfortable with or interested in. (this is tragic. it always happens to me then i will try to look busy with my phone)
okay anyway the website suggests some conversation starters, eg. Beautiful day, isn't it?
this reminds me of what is said before: Wha eh this sky very nice hor! The blue colour very nice!
i think my conversation starter damn fail -.- but not like the website one is any better.
in short i conclude that this website is NOT HELPFUL at all. not good. need more research.
anyway, oh ya i also did some research on GATTACA! cause we keep debating over whether irene was genetically modified, and here's the answer!
Irene Cassini is a genetically flawed "valid" working for Gattaca, and she begins to fall in love with Vincent/Jerome.
what a sad valid -.-
other stuff that i found..
The use of the phrase "borrowed ladder" is a play on words referring to both the structure of an un-coiled DNA strand and the idiom of altitude as social status.
The name "Gattaca" is composed entirely of the letters used to label the nucleotide bases of DNA. The four nucleotide bases of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) are adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.
The winding stairs in Jerome's apartment have the structure of a double helix, like DNA.
Uma Thurman's character is named Irene Cassini. Cassini is the surname of the 17th century French-Italian astronomer, Jean Dominique Cassini, who discovered the prominent gap in Saturn's main rings, as well as the icy moons, Iapetus, Dione, Rhea, and Tethys. The space mission in Gattaca is destined for Saturn. (layeng! remember the cassini division?)
oh yea, on thursday layeng and i went to stargaze! hahaha okay actually we listened to the lecture more than we stargaze. the professor is very cool and i can tell that he really loves the subject! like me! but i cant be like him because i dont take physics >< i dont mind though, because i wan astronomy to be my interest :) shuyun told me before if you get a job relating to your interest, sooner or later it wont be your interest. sounds like work makes it mudane? i kinda agree though, cause i dont want to have to work for it. i want to enjoy it in my own leisure :)
