sick... sick... sick again...

yeah, there's a tiny tingle in my throat again--- there's so many people sick in my class anyway that it's probably impossible not to get sick.

had dinner tonight at watami ("war man") with mum... it was good food and good company. i feel that these few months at the APA has made me more in touch with my emotions...

pride & prejudice... what a story! okay, matthew macfayden will never top colin firth as the best darcy ever, but he did a good enough job at it... i was genuinely moved by a lot of the movie... appreciated that the ending is not traditional classic romance cheese-ball crap... lots of highlights... and will keira keightly ever shake off that pout of her's? it's sort of distracting to audiences... nonetheless she did a good job too as lizzie. she's not mature a lizzy as jennifer ehle's, in fact, her lizzie is a completely different person- sort of young, raw, completely headstrong... she is so "alive" and modern that she could be my next door neighbour's daughter. good luck at the oscars, keira.

From Roger Ebert's review:

"Anyone who will sacrifice their own happiness for higher considerations
deserves to be happy. When they realize that about each other their hearts leap,
and, reader, so did mine."
