*me studying Maths on my desk
*Shahirah walks in
Shah: Eh, sejak bila start study ni?
Nael: Sarkastiknya
Shah: Takdelah, tak pernah tengok awak study.
Nael: Ye ke?
Shah: Yelah, kalau masuk bilik awak, tengok movie, drama, tido, komputer. Kan Ain?
*Ain angguk
Nael: lol. Dari sem 1 lagi korang tengok kita tak study?
Shah: .... memang awak tak study kan?
Nael: *lololol
the saddest part was that Shah was being serious the whole time. The funniest part was how amazed she was seeing me studying, she was genuinely surprised that it even surprised myself. And to clear things up, I do study, just not as much as everyone else. I don't have a timetable of what to study at what times (cause I know I won't abide it anyway). I kind of just follow what I feel like doing. And sometimes people disagree with my methods of studying. But I have faith with comfort and willingness, so that's why I'll study when I want to...even if it does mean not studying much.
What's the deal with people and ghost movies? And what's the deal with people luring other reluctant people with unrelated bait, to keep them company while watching these movies? I feel so...deceived. Like the other day Akah lured me to her house with pizza when she actually wanted to show this creepy Spanish ghost movie she downloaded
"The crazy zombie woman looks so scary!" =,= well at least there
were pizza. This time, everyone (excluding me and Aisyah) was so excited to watch paranormal activity (1 and 2), and I was peacefully studying in my room when Aisyah said she'll be watching korean variety shows, and I was like hey, I haven't watched those in ages. I finished up my trigo notes and happily joined them when all of a sudden there's no korean variety shows in sight. There was one laptop and that only laptop was playing paranormal activity.
I was stuck there for 3 hours listening to their comments on "Kenapa bapak dia tak nak percaya?" , "menda tu tarik baby tu", "Anjing tu mati dah ke?", and luckily I had my crows zero manga to accompany me. It's not that I feel like I'm brave enough for these movies, in fact it's the exact opposite. I know I'm a coward, and I know I won't stop thinking about those events and won't stop being paranoid for no apparent reason, so I just...don't watch them.
I'm suddenly reminded of what Bob Lokman said, the other day he was in Shah Alam, I went to his forum, and he mentioned the revolution of ghost stories breaking in the movie industry. Suddenly there's a high demand on ghost stories and everyone's doing the same thing: horror comedy. Everyone knows that horror movies can slightly effect our nation's psyche, especially kids, but something that Bob Lokman said kind of made a lot of sense
Kalau kita risau budak-budak akan terpengaruh dengan hantu-hantu ni, tu bukan amsalah utamanya. Kalau tengok statistik, remaja yang paling ramai tengok crite hantu dekat wayang ni, tap kalau tanya dorang, percaya tak hantu, diorang akan jawab tak. Diorang memang tak percaya wujudnya hantu-hantu mengarut tu, tapi sebab diorang tengok crite-crite hantu adalah untuk mengisi kekosongan ilmu alam ghaib. Fitrah manusia untuk mengetahui perkara-perkara ghaib ini.
On a side note, I prefer Sci-fi...and probably action, Crows Zero is the best *thumbs up
