I feel terrible. I don't actually know what depression feels like but right now I think I'd just like to exaggerate a bit and say: I feel fucking depressed. I skipped school today. I couldn't really take the thought of all that studying. I think it is almost safe to say that I have lost all interest in school. I don't know. I just hate the education system so much. The other day my teacher was saying that although it she doesn't exactly like it, the truth is that our society judges intelligence based on ability to do maths, and therefore we must! strive to get a distinction for it. Yeah, way to end the stereotyping cycle.
I was supposed to go watch Mother by Royston Tan and Tarnation by Jonathan Caouette with Nadhirah on the 12th of August at the Singapore Art Museum. I was interested in most of the Home Movies they were screening weekly, but I was especially interested in this particular screening because of its Mother theme. In addition, Tarnation is about the director trying to cope with growing up with a schizophrenic mother, as well as being homosexual. The whole 'crazy' mother idea has always been something I found interesting and something I could relate to. As a child one of my favourite books was called A Mother to Embarrass Me. The protagonist's mother in the book wasn't crazy crazy but holy shit was she crazy. Ah but after all the excitement, we found that the screening is M18 so we're going for the 19th's Bare and I for India instead. We'll also be heading to Esplanade for Baybeats. I wanted to see Arajua but their set clashes with the film. I guess they'll have other gigs I could go to, right?
Today is also the start of Ramadhan. It's about T - 90mins to maghrib, when we can break our fasts. I can't wait.
