highs and lows

now i just realized i've not posted anything for like a week.
i haf to say it's been a rather strange and busy week. some highs and many lows.

hairspray whose soundtrack i'm grooving to right now as i type. i have to say i'm very impressed by this movie version in spite of the expectation I had of it from the positive reviews in the papers. i nv even thot about watching the broadway version in nyc because e reviews werent great. but now it's the second musical i wanna watch when (if?? more on this later) i get back (after lion king). the movie was like one happy song from start to end and throwing in a bit of reality/history about racial segregation in the 60s in Baltimore was a nice touch. john travolta was a bit stiff and unconvincing in his role as Edna but Nikki Blonsky has to be one of the finds of the year.

i was glad to have watched hairspray on friday because i was really quite pissed/exasperated/!@#$%^&* on fri. as always the antagonist is the dear organization i signed the next ten years of my life to. to cut the long story short, let's just say the national science agency cannot do/see a simple math problem any average school kid in singapore can solve: express 3.7978 to two decimal places.

so it's been five days and there mite be a possible solution in the near future. but that does not put me in any better mood than on friday. sometimes i feel that they should start REALLY caring for our well-being rather than putting us such unnecessary emotional agony.

time to sleep
