Interesting tagline (or whatever you call it). Perhaps what the message sent through the movie is right; to be awesome, all you need to to do is be yourself.
That aside, there has been quite a lot of happenings during this June Holidays which I would say, it is pretty well spent. I didn't travel like some of my friends did, or did some crazy things like skydiving and bungee-jumping. All I did was training, playing, watching football and going out with friends. This incurred a huge budget deficit for the month of June, but I will say that it is pretty well spent. I guess the greatest difference that this holiday had as compared to the other holidays is that I didn't have to go for research attachment (and no Common Tests of course). This really freed up a lot of time for me to do whatever I want.
One thing that striked me was one of the issues that was brought up on Sunday Times a few days ago. The article about scrapping Miss Singapore Universe. Honestly speaking, we are a nation with women (and men) with exceptional and unique facial and body features that can well define beauty (or handsome-ness) beyond words. Do we lack pretty and handsome people in Singapore? Hell NO! Take a walk down Orchard Road, have a burger at Raffles City or shop at Vivo City for a day, you will realise that we have people that has both style and substance (and the "looks" and curves" as well). From the way we dress, to the handbag/backpack we choose to carry out with us, we demand ourselves to be perfect - whether it is out of respect for the person(s) we are going out with or just flaunting the tangible and the intangible assets. We have the "looks" and the "faces", but perhaps, what we lack is some sort of civilised "attitudes".
I guess that is why "simplicity is beauty". When we are simple (or at least look simple), we have nothing to flaunt. All we have to "flaunt" -in this case "show" will be a better word- is our own character and personality. That is what makes us shine much brighter than those with brain and brawns, with style and substance.
Moving on, like what I mentioned above, I had more time to interact with people whom I know and find out more about them. I want to write this down so that I won't forget about this person who is exceptionally unique in his/her own way.(I shall use 'T' as his/her name, just another letter apart from 'X' which I used the other time)
T is one of the most mysterious people I have ever met and I choose to derive his/her uniqueness from this personality. He/she strikes a VERY well balance between his/her private life and his/her school life. Already pretty active in school, he/she is even more active outside school! From hip-hop to golf, to piano, he/she does all this outside school! I truly admire this passive courage of his/hers; to be able to live without close interaction from friends whom you know from school (Perhaps she does have interactions with a group of close friends in school which I don't know). I guess most of us feel so compelled to stay within the community of our classmates or friends, that we hardly do something outside this community. We desire that sort of attention from this community which we convert it as a motivational or supportive force in our daily activities. I don't know how this person does it, but he/she can live without this. That aside, I must admit that he/she has a nice-looking face which pretty well shrouds his/her mysterious personality. He/she even has this mildly-angry-but-actually-not-angry look which makes me pretty apologetic to him/her when I try to speculate someting about him/her. I don't really know T very well I must say, because "I don't know my [his/her] life". Nevertheless, he/she is defintely an interesting person to hang out with.
Last thoughts: haha... not very comtemplative this time round. School's about to reopen :(
