Today was spent taking photos of Hall 12 interhall games with Juncong... Bernice and Yiping and the rest of the girls were brilliant at netball! Throughout lunch Juncong and I poured our soul out, reflecting on our hall life experience so far... good things, and the not-so-dandy things... Some people move on faster than the rest, adapt better, enthusiastically basking in non-stop hall activities... Juncong and I may be hermits, but I preferred having a life to myself than selling it to the hall, deeming this short period of holidays more fulfilling than hall methinks.
Queen Elizabeth: The GOlden Age was a good movie, I thought. Except the fact that the Spaniards, or rather, the almighty Spain King , was portrayed as a (one-sided) dark, obsessive holy bigot plotting a Holy War against the Virgin Queen of ENgland. The latter always seem to exude this radiance, and the cameras seem to capture light pouring out from her very soul... Much imagery were used to steer the audience's perception towards the bias that England and the righteous Queen deserved the victorious win at the end hands-down. The movie also showed the Queen's vulnerability to emotions and temptations beneath her strong, hard exterior... this was made more complex when coupled with her generous and big heart when loving her subjects... her vision to serve her people and her country, protecting these to the very end was inspiring. Oh! Her war armour was quite intriguing too. Queen ELizabeth beats Warlords anyday!!!
Sigh results coming out soon and another long day ahead in hall tomorrow
