highly irritated I guess that in every society, there are different cultures that produce different kinds of reactions to them. I cannot say for sure that i know what other cultures are like, but the one that i am most familiar with is the Singapore culture. And i had a taste of it today. Today was just like any other day. I woke up at 930am, with a Literature movie screening of my film text at 10am. Out of desperation and because i was such a sleepyhead, i drove to school after a quick freshening up. And well i reached a little late, and the whole theatrette was dark. The kind of dark that once you shut the door behind you, its pitch black, with the overhead projector showing the movie that had started about 10minutes ago. It was the movie Apocalypse Now, quite an engaging movie despite the occasional gore and nudity. So there were a couple of people who came in late and man, once they sat down beside me in the front row, they made so much noise! WAH LAU EH. Ok, i thought i should just ignore them and watch the movie, analysing how the characters are similar to those of Heart of Darkness. While i was paying attention to the movie, i swear the people beside me were giving their synopsis of the movie, albeit inaccurate ones. And you know how irritating it is to act smart like you know the whole movie BUT ACTUALLY NOT? I mean this is n our curriculum, so it is imperative to at least know what you are talking about. And they were talking at their normal decibels in an entirely quiet room with only sounds coming from the speakers. WHOA. SITTING BESIDE ME SOMEMORE! GRRRRRR. So i went "TSK" and gave a heavy sigh, and i could feel the blanket of silence resume. Good. After 10 mins or so, they started commenting and laughing lightly among themselves. Gosh i so cannot stand such banter when others are actually trying to watch a show! It screams of how some people behave like this too in public cinemas. The phone ringing, the babies crying, the children running around, the shaking of chairs, comments.... After that i headed down to Paragon for some errands and had a rather lethargic lunch at Spaggedies. Headed home on the bus and fell promptly asleep. And i have rp training later in school. Till 9pm. :( I feel the jitters and the pressure everytime i think about it. Oh i so got to finish a ton of readings this week, and my weekends are already taken up by emceeing commitments. GAHH. Tutorials! Sigh. |
