everybody's gotta learn sometime

I just finished watching Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind, and i think(or i'd like to think) i appreciate the movie a whole lot better now. I've always been a fan of it, but i'd like to believe i can understand it better now. at least, a lot better than how i comprehended it the first time i watched it. and because of that, i can say i like it with more conviction.

now, i think the best way to watch a movie is on a laptop with headphones. it seems to enable you to just drink the movie in so much better, as compared to watching it on tv. and you can pick up the soundtrack so much more adequately. like the song that's on during the scene at the beginning where Clementine and Joel 'meet' and talk in the train, i never noticed it playing in the background the last time i watched the movie. watch it in bed with the notebook on your lap.

i made tortilla's for dinner today. the instant one la. the one that comes in a box complete with the seasoning for the filling and the sauce, and all you have to do is cook minced beef. but just wait and see. i'll become a good cook. at least, i hope i can. the idea of cooking is comforting. I like cutting meat into pieces. i like it when my fingers smell of bawang and garlic. i like stirring a pot of something. for now.

and jia yee taught me how to cook sayur. i was squealing at her "how much soy sauce do i put in?? how much???say stop say stop!!"

The tomatoes they have here are delicious. I can eat them raw constantly, they're that good.
