words

i think the power of words is incredible. words are way more powerful than people think they are.
ok what's that overused cheesy phrase... sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me... o right that actually goes against what im saying. hmm. hahahaa.

i guess that's the ideal.. if one is able to shield oneself from poisonous words, but it's obviously not as easy as it sounds. you know how like.. there are these cases where kids grow up in a certain environment for example... if all they receive are negative words from their parents... it just kills them off.. and kinda throws them off as individuals.. sometimes people make a comment which they think nothing off.. and one might laugh it off.. but the hurtful effect of words do linger. it's the whole psychological thing. i think psych is way. way. way. more power than anything physical.

in other words... there're actually some aspects of dorm life i really like coz my friends are on this floor... but i cannot wait. to move out away from my roommate. i dont know how many more conversations and words of poison i can take. im sick of hearing such superficial, cruel, ugly words. i think i can be a pretty sensitive person.. and even if i hear a couple of conversations it bothers me. but seriously it's been a year. i dont want to elaborate. but it is very mentally and emotionally draining. i think uni really... prepares you for life and takes you out of whatever nicely decorated hole you'd been living in before... if you put yourself out there and meet the million different kinds of people in the world...

it's ok. 1 plus more months...

one more thing. i found out that my freaking 20 page essay for my chinese cinema class can be about any topic and analyze any film. i think i'll prob tackle some local films... maybe focus on a royston tan film or something... man. i am so excited about my essays. to think of something is really... like.. pure bliss. but to do it.. it's a totally different matter. sigh. tomorrow. tomorrow i will transform.
