I feel like this is a complete and total cop-out post so I completely and totally apologize in advance. I am, unfortunately, burnt out. Despite my lovely and relaxing weekend, I am still tired and at a loss of something substantial to write about, but here a short update on my life right now.

1) I am burnt out because of the fever and flu. I don’t know how many meds I’ve taken but the flu still persist..so stubborn! Thx goodness the fever is gone now.

2) Lots of TEST! 'Nuff said.

3) Still struggling to finish up reading the entire syllabus. Final is just around the corner! To be honest, I’m so worried about my IB subject. Since the lecturer who taught us is a newbie, I don’t really understand what I’ve been learning in his class all this while! It’s that bad. Apparently, most of my friends experienced the same thing. ( I seriously thought I was the only one =p)

4) My major Research presentation has been canceled (^__^). I was supposed to present it next Friday but according to Mr. Rizuwan, due to the time constraint, we only has to submit the final report. No need for the presentation.

5) Since I am in no mood to study (I’m sick remember =p), I decided to watch a few movies to get rid of the boredom that struck me. I watched two malay movies, first is Cicakman 2 and the second one is AntooFighter. As far as I’m concerned, both of the movies can be categorized as "the most stupid, lame, boring, crappy" movies ever made. Seriously, its so stupidddddddd. Typical malay movie. *sigh*

In the beginning is the emergency call, and the caller wants to report a suicide. Whose? asks the 911 operator. Mine, says the man.

And so begins the story of Seven Pounds, a strange, swooning mystery about love, loss, redemption and the taxman. They say there are two things in life that you can’t escape from – death and taxes. In this movie, these two terrors seem to have found union in Will Smith’s a.k.a Ben Thomas, a taxman who behaves as if he has come to sit in judgement of those he audits.

He acts beyond the already formidable powers vested in him by the IRS, prying into and holding the lives of others in his hands. What kind of IRS man is this? Who the hell is Ben Thomas? This is the mystery as the core of Seven Pounds. The story immerses us in the puzzle of the IRS agent with the strange audit.

There are seven people in Ben’s list, hence the title of the movie, and he evaluates all of them in an unconventional manner – by snooping about, observing from afar, and talking with people who know them.

Slowly, it emerges that Ben is a man scarred by guilt and personal loss, and that he wants to fill the emptiness of his life and to redeem his life by making other people’s lives better. But first, he wants to know if they are worthy of a helping hand.

I’m not going to elaborate more on the story, you just have to watch it yourself =p

It’s all terribly sappy, not to mention controversial, but resistance is futile. lalala~
