'Oh you're smarter than that' - SHUT UP AND KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF!

Random guy who does not think before speaking
" Hey, what subject are you taking next semester?"

Me, trying to socialise.
"oh, apart from the 3 core commerce subjects, I am debating between continuing marketing, or trying out finance to see if it fits."

"oh, don't take marketing. You're smarter than that, I can tell."

....

Why thanks for the compliment, sadly I can't return the favour because you are a ignorant-stereotypical ******* (fill in the gaps with your imagination, be my guest to do your worst), because you do not know what you are talking about.

If you do not do the subject, dont think it is easy. Unless you have tried it for yourself, you have no right to judge. Dont think you are better because you PRESUMABLY take something harder. I hate it when people do that, because they are giving people a hard time, and somehow you limit their choices in life thanks to your stupid notions that leads to peer pressure.


I am sick of living in a world that tells me what I have to do. I respect those who listens and encourage people to succeed in whatever they set their minds to. Don't laugh at people because you think what they are doing is of no importance/easy, or worst, for people WHO ARE NOT SMART ENOUGH TO DO ANYTHING ELSE. If you think like that, go bury yourself and your stupid ignorance and arrogance our world can do without.

High school:
"Science stream students are smart, and arts stream are for losers/dumbass who could not get into science stream"
Just so you know, arts stream students were mostly comprising of gangsters, hooligans and whatnot THANKS to people to purport the idea that arts stream students are lesser than science stream students. I admit, I myself fell into that trap. I studied in PMR because I wanted to go to science stream as thats where people respect you. I am sure that is a factor for most people as well, consciously or not. Arts is looked down upon because it is considered easy, and science is more "important". For your information, Arts subject is a knowledge as well a culture. In my case, Commerce is important because without business, you wont have growth in your economy. Believe me, you wont like that.

If you do not know anything, just know this. Everyone has many talents for a reason - everyone has something they are good at. Talent/skills have no inequality. If everyone specialises in what they are good at, the economy, world, the system will function at its optimum allocation.

Think with this simple analogy that everyone should know by now. The body has many parts. Head, eyes, ears, brain, ass etc. Naturally, most would think the brain is superior, and the ass the least important. Well, news to you, if the ass goes on strike and the body can no longer poop, and the brain will suffer from toxic damage.

A plumber may not gain your respect, but if the world plumber numbers takes a huge plunge, economics will show you their pay can be higher than most of you. Without a plumber, you will have to either figure how to do it yourself from the "dummies guide to plumbing" or live without water. Thats the system, and it shows you how EVERYTHING IS IMPORTANT.

Stereotyping prevents people from stepping forward to take on their interest. There are many science stream students who would have liked to do arts, who could be VERY DAMN GOOD AT IT, but chose to do science because the society in general tells them to, because there is a label that they cant bear to be burdened with.

If you are still stereotyping, stop it. The world will be a better place without it.

Why Casino Royale rocks

I noticed that my posts usually has a dash of emo-ness which I find so uncharacteristic of the old Sara. So, to all friends who are nice enough to poke and remind me that my blog is dead, I announce a new NON-EMO post. Nothing personal, no rant, no short bursts of anger (on topics of landlords), just a short review of Casino Royale.

First off, I know I must answer a question that will inevitably pop into your mind:

Why a review such an outdated movie?
Because I only just watched the movie, du-uh! So what if Casino Royale is a 2006 movie? When you are in a foreign country, and your only source of media entertainment is limited movies you get through favours of friends (excluding cinemas, where tickets cost 3x the price of Malaysia's), you dont really get the right to be picky. So yes, recently I just watched it, and now I wanna do a review on it. So dare!

To really be precise, I actually watched Quantum of Solace in Sunway Pyramid before, and was sorely disappointed cuz the movie did not live up to the hype and usual publicity of James Bond movies. I never watched Casino Royale then. After the disappointing Quantum of Solace, I thought the new James Bond, Daniel Craig is horrible. He is not hot, charming or cool in whatsoever sense.

Hello, it is Pierce Brosnan the oh-so-sexy-charming

VS

Daniel Craig,
the ... nothing spectacular (to me)

Clarification: I do not intend to write out the whole story plot, and give rating scores and blah, because I am no movie expert. I will just tell you what I like about Casino Royale. full stop.


I like Casino Royale because it is the first time I saw James Bond fall in love (I admit, I only watched the latest 3 James Bond movies out of the 22 i think). James Bond movies run in such a typical plot, it gets boring, and it usually appeals to the narrow crowd of men. C'mon, don't tell me to secret ingredient to James Bond movie appeal is the plot. I only watched 3 movies, and I can pretty much tell you what the other 19 James Bond movie is about. It is about a secret agent 007, James Bond who goes around saving the day, killing all the bad guys in the process. Amongst all this, James Bond gets to do it in style. Dressing in a tight shirt that shows off all the abs and accessorised with a sexy new car of which it's brand probably paid to have it featured in the movie. Not to forget the all famous feisty ultra-uber hot bond girl that he easily charms and has his way with her on bed. TYPICAL.

The most successful movie franchise to date is James Bond. Guys love it because it is a fantasy come true.

Lets see, salivate-worthy car packed with high tech? Check.
Lots of thrilling non-stop action? Check. Hot body? Check
Gorgeous turn head women, with bodies that should be considered sinful? Women who look like this:

Halle Bary, you can't beat that figure.

Except maybe Megan Fox, Transformers, and her 22 inch waist.

Eva Green, elegant and sexy all mixed into one. She is perfect.
(stop drooling boys)

CHECK!

Oh, dont be mistaken. I am not condone the masculine species and their taste. I only stress that there are certain elements that are a sure hit when executed well in movies. For guys, all mentioned above. For women, one word - ROMANCE. Thats where it got me. When James Bond fell in love with Vesper (Eva Green), my heart melted. No more random sex with sexy strangers. When James Bond finally (to me) fell in love, it was the sweetest thing. When he was going to resign his job for her, I was like awwww. Heck, I even liked Daniel Craig after that. I saw that his piercing blue eyes can be a heartstopper, his smile charming. When James Bond really fell in love, all girls must go *melt*. Thats how we are. This will not change. My heart tugged for James Bond, because it was obvious that Vesper is going to betray him, but I just wanted to believe there could be a happily ever after. I know I am a sucker for romance. I know it makes me a hypocrite, since I am against the whole princess happily-ever-after, prince charming concept. But, I am still a girl.

Oh yes, and the plot was interesting as well. Woo, crime solved yada yada. lol
