watched a movie called Gattaca in class recently. i remember how badly i wanted to
cry when jerome killed himself in the incinerator. the movie left me with a million questions.
if one day all humans were designed this way, what will be left of the world?
and like jeremy said, though vincent was a 'godchild' who was less physically fit than his brother who was a designer baby, he could swim further as he was mentally stronger. and mengfei is right in saying that there is no gene for human spirit. jerome had tried to kill himself because he lost a competition. will making all humans so intelligent and physically able make us so vunerable and unable to face up to challenges and failure? and i really do have a lot of respect towards vincent, to have a dream and to want something so badly that he would even give up his identity. i do wish i could feel the same passion about something.
the relationship between vincent and jerome is so unexplainable yet touching. i guess in some way vincent helped to prolong jerome's life for his life revovled around preparing specimens of himself so that vincent could pretend to be him. and in return jerome helped vincent to fufil his dream. but could they be considered friends? also, i can't imagine a life without being able to meet people while pretending to be someone else. will that be a life worth living? and i cant imagine a life led behind four walls helping someone to pretend to be you. i suppose they are both making sacrifices in a way. hmm..have more to say but too tired to type anymore...
tcher's day celebrations were pretty queer. some tchers did some sexy dances. uh. nothing much to say to that. =/ more than half the class stayed back the day before to help make poster boards for the tchers. :D could really feel the class spirit. anyway the boards turned out quite pretty haha and the tchers seemed quite pleased to receive them.
then went back to dhs. got to see like so many ppl whom i've missed so much. like SHIYI! and all the eds mates! :D:D:D and it's amazing i don't feel foreign in dhs after not going back for 6mths or so. (:
went shopping with agnes after that to buy her bf's birthday present and changrong's bday present. lol. twas pretty fun cause she kept laughing at me!? haha.
celebrated changrong's bday today! it was super funny trying to lie to her about us not being able to make it for her party. haha. too lazy to elaborate more. but she was so touched she cried when we all appeared with the cake. (: love <3 you girl! have a happy 19th birthday!
