As it drags on, and CJ7

If you were wondering I had two posts yesterday chronologically reversed because of the wrong input of timing.

Today is the last day of the CNY long break. Congrats to everyone made it this far, who survived tremendous intense visits, massive calorie intake, and people who are unscathed as of now. The reason being, I am jealous of all you healthy peeps out there.

When I thought it was all over, this sorethroat persistently creeped into my life (and throat) again. Fortunately, it was not as bad as the night before, milder, but it's still very irritating. Feverish, cold symptoms started kicking in when I was about to sleep. Wasn't a very pleasant night.

Waking up, along with sleeping is probably the worst feeling ever with such a sore throat. I woke up having to clear my throat so many times that my plaegm had colourings of red, which evidenty is, blood. My nose was entirely blocked with sticky substance and I had to blow once every few seconds. Not a very pleasant way to wake up. It's like waking up in goo.

Did I mention that I drank not 8 cups but 8 litres of water yesterday. I just had to keep drinking to keep my throat lubricated well enough not to feel pain.

Yesterday I managed to get myself up to watch a movie with my parents. ( I know this statement itself is absolutely going to create great contrast with the previous). But still, I staggered my way there. Infact, I think my condition could be represented by the amplitude of on a sinusoidal curve of wellness..the effects of pacofen (a sorta higher level panadol), and sorethroat medicine (which I didn't bother reading it's labels) were taking effect. I felt fine, only until the last couple of minutes of the show.

WHAT IS WRITTEN BEYOND THIS POINT IS BOUND TO CONTAIN SPOILERS.READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

My take on the movie CJ7. (I will make no attempt to repeat the storyline)

A very highly anticipated show. And to be honest I had high expectations of the show, though I did not know what to expect. A simple plot, with a very simple ending, along with a very simple predictable progression. The only thing fortunately that is unpredictable and abrupt is the situational, visual comedy integraded in the show. It just surprises me how many amongst the "laughing points" were actually due to face expression. (either of CJ7 or the little kid).

What is see is a great marketing strategy. What I see is that they are not trying to sell the film itself, but the merchandise. I can imagine the reduced from of CJ7 would be definitely hot in demands. (as how I would see it). X_X.

There isn't much to comment. The show was rather lighthearted at moments, but dramatically emo at certain points. However, the shift was nicely done. It was serious when it needed to be, and funny when it had to be funny.

Pretty much the best movie Ive watched this year (mainly because this is my first). They took the film, it's plot, it's genre, it's idea, to it's highest potential. I have no complains.

Back to mindless ranting....

I have homework incomplete. Sadly, I wonder if my condition now is suited for any work. Highly contemplating if I should sleep in tommorow. But I highly doubt so. My conscious is telling me not to.

I am not too different from being a full time gardener now, they have to water plants and I have to water my throat.

Cya.
