have to watch/read!
Some movies I've watched and recommend to watch:
Departures (Japanese movie) - Won Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. It's about a guy who was a cellist, at least until his orchestra disbanded. Then he moved back hometown with his wife to find another job and he finds an advertisement for a job titled "Departures". He thought it was a travel agency, but it's actually a casketing/encoffinment agency. He has to help preprare people who has "departed". Touching movie because he meets different people who come to pay their last respects and learns the art of casketing, which is considered a "dirty" job by some people.
Our School's E.T. (Korean movie) - Korea Film Festival is on at Midvalley's GSC. It's free! The tickets I mean. Go watch go watch! The other Korean movies are probably good too. ;) This one is about a gym teacher who could lose his job because the school has to cut down on gym class time to make way for English and other subjects. Since he loves the students and teaching, he takes up the challenge of becoming an English teacher. He becomes known as the school's E.T.
Both movies are super touching and have a great story to tell! There's funny parts too. Gosh I hope I get to find more movies like these. =)
Oh! I found a beautiful graphic book. It's called 'The Arrival' by Shaun Tan. It's all drawings and pictures and no words, but you can "read" the story just by looking at the pictures. Awesome... xD

My Steps for Stepping out of It
POEM: My Steps for Stepping Out of It
by me, Wei Lyn. :D
I wonder, if I try
To find a remedy
To zap the things that make me cry
and heal, finally.
I wonder, would it work?
No harm trying, right?
Or would I go berserk
And let the hurt bite?
First of all I'd play
An instrument I own
My fingers would dance as I lay
My hands, my heart, on the piano.
When I'm done with step one
And my heart still hurts,
Then I'd share it with someone
My story told in spurts.
If I'm still unhappy,
I'd try a Happy Meal.
If it is sunny,
I'd jog up and down the hill.
I could take a nap
To try to unwind
Have a dream or two, so that
I can clear my mind.
Or I could take a pencil
And sketch something from scratch
Maybe if I scribble
My heart would then be patched.
If everything I try,
Comes to no avail,
I might just start to cry
It makes me better, a little.
When desperation calls,
I'd turn to Jesus Christ
I'd pray that, since He knows it all
I'll let Him be my eyes
To understand what's going on
The pain that is inside
I'd give it to the Son
The pain, disappointment and pride.
Lovingly He listens, as
Silently, I pray
Then I hope for the best-
Tomorrow becomes today.
Does any of it work?
I guess it just depends
Maybe you could try it first
And see the outcome in the end.
:)
[Inspired by a poem *hintAveenahint* and a question. =P]

The correct time --> 10 minutes to midnight
=.=" For a moment, I seriously thought it was 8-something. Hahah. xD
Aveena's poem so cool. I wanna write a poem too! *inspired*
Which reminds me.. Lately, I've been watching a lot of videos on YouTube.. or you could say I was YouTubing a lot. Same thing hahah.
I try to look for original songs. Some are really cool, some are okay. =) ..but it's always nice to see other people's work and see what they come up with and all.
OH, I look out for animation videos too!
Thought I'd share some. Here is juliapot's My First Crush. =)
