Season 4, Episode 1: Forward or follow?

" You are the butter to my bread, you are the breath to my life. " - Julie and Julia

Do you know what's difficult about starting a new semester? First, it's leaving home; second, it's the fine tuning back to studies after at least two months of holidays!

The first week had been, rather, comforting. There were only lectures. And meetings for club and upcoming events. In a way, it helped deviated the focus onto doing something to occupy time. I mean, who would really start to study in the first week?

Even my timetable had been, rather, messy- which leads to the title, forward or follow? Having under the belt is already 13 credit hours, which to me, is a little too little. So, my friends and i decided to forward courses from our coming semesters, bringing the total up to an incredible 21! But that, to me, was a little too much. Then we started dropping a three credit hours course, pulling it down to 18. And only yesterday, we received an email from the administration to drop another one two credit hours course. In the end, my credit hours for this season became 16.

The problem was not just on the credit hours, but the time slots to fit in the courses. Clashes here and there, and it took time to actually rearrange and finalize our timetable. Why can't our timetable fit in nicely?

In the meantime, watching movies filled in my leisure hours. The Lovely Bones movie is as good as it can get, and in some ways, i find it better than the book. The scripts from the movie reminded me of the time when i read the book- keeping true to the original lines was the right move because the lines were the one that turned this book interesting.

Julie and Julia, oh how unfortunate, while i was watching, i became hungry. Who could resist the tempting looks of the French cuisine? This movie is a real deal! No wonder it had won the Globes' Best Motion Picture- Comedy or Musical. Inspired from two books, they converged into an amazing story of passion and ambition.

The Passengers had a twist at the end of the story. Watching the end reminded me of Ghost Whisperer's Season 1 finale, so i wasn't really caught off guard to the outcome. It has a strong cast but it lacks in its dramatic plot. I would prefer it to be more of a mystery/drama than a horror movie.

Three-day weekend ahead- Thaipusam, and many people, me included, left for either to go home or to go on a short holiday before the real deal starts the next week.

The second week, and the weeks onward will be a roller-coaster ride!

wc10, forward one and follow the flow...
