May the odds be ever at your favour.

Woke up super early just for the Taiwan project. Did the recording. We didn't really screw up. It was just that it was hard to be in tune/on time cause THE SCHOOL WAS LACKING SO MUCH THERE WEREN'T EVEN ANY EARPIECES IN THE RECORDING STUDIO. Solved the tune problem by doing parts. Solved the timing problem by bobbing heads. LOL. School so fail -.-

Probably cause I woke up super early. At least significantly earlier than others. So I was like super high in the morning. Crazygirl97.

Awards day was boring. Mrs Philip didn't come. We couldn't give her a standing ovation for her 5 years award. Bleh :( Gave one to Mr Lim and Ms Yang though. Mr Rafeek was da star. Everyone cheered like super loudly for him. LOLOLOL. Then he waved likeastar.

Thought I'll be the social loner and go home and do homework like a nerd. But thank God for Diana. It was like the last of last minutes decision. Like, 12..? When we decided to go out. Went to vivo for hunger games. And was talking about hunger games allllll the way through with brother the whole way.

Hmmmm... So let's see. I didn't find any of the male leads handsome. But the female lead was really pretty. Didn't look like a 16 year old though. More like an 18 year old.

But on the other hand, it's like a reflection of today's society. The extravagant yet ugly make up the people in the capitol put on, the happy image they put on everytime, shows the false perfection of people in today's society. And that how the richer people prosper with the help of the poorer people suffering. Like how the people in the capitol is dependent on the 12 districts. Even on entertaintment. How he enjoyed seeing people die during the hunger games.

Then we get to see that the hunger games on the surface may seem like an event of people killing each other. But on a closer look, it's not a game of mindless killing. It actually intertwines a lot of humanity where love, concern and comfort have been so apparent. Rue and Katniss. When Rue was killed by other districts, Katniss spreaded flowers over her body not only as a sign of respect but of disgust towards the capitol.

In the end we reach the point where the game master announced that there can only be one victor and the remaining two tribute must kill each other. But Katniss and Peeta chose to either win together or die together. And the game master had to give in by announcing the both as winners because there had to be a victor for the audience in the course defying her society's authoritarian leaders so publicly. Somehow came across to be that no matter how powerful the authories are, in the end the people are still the ones that are more important.

And something about the mockingjay. The story just has so much inference and reference you can do! HAHAHAHA I sound so literature-y. HEHEHE -pushes up specs- 8D

Conclusion. It's a good movie but not so nice a movie. The messages behind the movie was good. But I just didn't think that the male actors were hot enough.
