In view of recent events

Lets all pray for Japan.

Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea

Okay. okay wait.

I just watched Ponyo. My mind is in confusion.

For those who haven't watched POTCBTS (lol), here's a quick summary.

First scene- weird ocean guy. Has magic bottle stuff. Red thing escapes HIDING UNDER JELLYFISHES. (Wheres the stinging??)

Theres a little boy named Sosuke. Who calls his parents by first name (who does that?). He finds the red thing stuck in a jar, thinks its a goldfish, saves her, and names her Ponyo.

A weird little goldfish I might add. Why is it a goldfish anyway? It just looks like a chibi wearing a giant blanket and she forgot to cut holes for her arms.

So anyway like any little kid who finds a new PET, he wants to protect it and brings it to school.

After Ponyo spits on a few people, they get mad, he gets scared, and runs to hide under rocks. Then the ocean guy takes Ponyo back and Sosuke becomes sad.

After a series of events, Ponyo escapes, unleashing all evil around her, becomes human, and tries to drown the entire town in her effort to chase Sosuke. In which she suceeds. And all of a sudden, giant ocean lady appears and says that Sosuke and Ponyo's love is the only thing that can save the world. The indication of the world in danger being the moon inching closer and of course ALL THE FREAKING WATER THAT DROWNS THE TOWN.

Anyway, things cut short, Ponyo becomes a fish, and Sosuke gets told about how he's the saviour. Ocean lady fixes everything, and Ponyo becomes a girl forever. The end.

First of, the storyline is weird.

Secondly, NO ONE freaked out about the drowning town.

Thirdly, your son tells you that the fish he caught earlier is now a girl and YOU'RE OKAY WITH THAT?

Fourthly, wh-wha?

In conclusion, don't watch POTCBTS unless its for free and only to see how confusing it is.

Guh. My brain.

It's Over

(Just a quick side note, yeah I shouldn't have ordered iced mocha at night eeeeeh)

I wanted to post about stuff like this yesterday, but of course, laziness prevailed and I ended up sleeping. But since I have sufficient amount of caffeine in me and I feel completely awake at this late hour why not blog?

Yesterday I was feeling scared about my results. I started worrying about what almost every other kid in my situation was worrying about- results. And of course, I started thinking about the worse case scenario for it which is basically what happened if I got bad results. Of course I started thinking about ways to kill myself but then I thought, my grades don't define my future.

True, we now live in a generation, especially in a country like Singapore, where it seems like results define who we are. Get bad grades= you suck, get good grades= well, good grades. But then I thought, no I definitely do not suck. Then I started thinking about what I could do.

First of all, one option of mine was to take SATS and see where they take me. Try for a Uni. Take a break year, retake Alevels, see if I can go overseas to study, work part time to pay for it. Secondly was to continue piano, become a piano teacher. Follow in my mother's footsteps and be a flight attendant. Third was to hope that everything went right.

My heart broke today for my best friends. But what I want them to know is that results aren't everything and there's always a way to pull through. You're not useless, not stupid, and you definitely don't deserve it. In other words to be clichéd, When there's a Will, there is a Way.

So go ahead and cry today, or even tomorrow, but always remember that there's more to you than that. Please just keep trying and don't give up. I know if the opposite had happened you'll tell me the same thing too.
