Monday Blues

I learnt today that I have an approachable face. Just today, two people approached me for help. The first was an auntie who asked me for help in making a new passport at the Immigrations building. I made my new passport there today so I was able to help her. The second one was an uncle who asked me which bus to take to NUH at when I was at Buona Vista Mrt. I think I've been asked for directions countless times already. It's not that I am not willing to help. In fact, I will be more than happy to help, provided the person is not a weirdo. I just don't understand why I seem to be a magnet for clueless people when there are many others around me. Maybe because I got a kind and innocent face. And this makes me easily cheated as well, going by past experiences.

I went for a screening of all the student productions made for my film art module this afternoon. There were 11 of them and I missed the first 4. My film was the last one being screened so I had to stay through all the rest of the films. I thought only one of them was good, a film about a day in a prostitute's life. Although it was a little explicit, it had a few twists and deeper meanings. The screening of our film was not what I wished for. Firstly, the lecturer pronounced our film's name 2' as just two when it should be two feet. I came up with the title so I had hoped he will get it. Secondly, the lecturer nearly stopped the film before our secret ending. Lastly, because our film was screened last, nobody gave any applause and the lecturer did not give any comments. I wanted to know how the others view our film because the idea came from me. I wanted to know for my own sake whether it will be well received. In the end, I still did not know. However, it really feels exhilarating watching our production on the big projector screen and hearing people laughing or going oooh over certain parts. It really make all the hard work worth it.
