Initial [D]isappointment
Watched Initial D earlier with jon, both of us felt that it was a little disappointing, some of the drift scenes were quite badly done, jerky drifts, abrupt swerves. You may think yah, but so you can't even drift for nuts. True but if you go to
this website, download some of the clips, you will agree with me. Coz these are "amateur" drifters, not full time stunt drivers. And if they can execute such good drifts, i don't see why they can't. Especially when the scene was shot from a helicopter(meaning no one can see if it's an actor or a stunt driver in the car!!!!!)!!!!!! Ok rant, and some odd bloopers in the movie, dunno why i guess it was kinda glaring.. Like the merc that natsuki was in was a LHD whereas all the other cars were RHD(not sure if i get the definitions right, correct me if i'm wrong) and when jordan chan's car flipped and subsequently he tried to get out of the car, i think he was on the wrong side up.... Ok lah there are still some nice scenes in the show, but if u ask me whether i'd wanna watch it a second time, thanks but no thanks, think i'll save the $7. But before that i had a race with a white Cefiro, blardy basket dowan to let me overtake him and then purposely increase the speed. And it's not like i was driving agressively. Grrr. From AYE Bouna Vista til rochor rd exit. $#%*&DFSG*$@#$!(% I bet he's an old baldy man with a fat wobbly belly, trying to show off whatever "man-ness" or prowess due to his lack of self-esteem in other aspects.
The reason why people resort to violence is that in that situation, violence, esp spousal abuse, is the only way the man can exert control over the situation. It stems from a lack of control over the situation, therefore all those fellas with testosterone running all over the place, watch it, masculinity is not about strength, it's about other stuff as well. U must be thinking whoa, today dawne is damn cheem, actually it was discussed during my tutorial, hahhaaa, gotchya didn't i. It came from my textbook & my tutor(yes the "cannot-teach-properly" but pretty tutor, so she does know something afterall).
Jon gave me chocolates, a very sweet gesture (pun unintended) i just realised out of so many ex-bfs that i had, none of them ever did that before. Something so small meant so much to me, i feel so touched. It feels so weird to be typing all this out onto the screen, but he managed to peel one or two layers of my tough chick exterior already, and in my heart he already made me go aww... Now that's something i rarely claim. I've had many shitty bfs huh, lol, pathetic. But nvm, i am happy. =) And the so many times when i buy small stuff for others to make them happy, i guess in a way it was my way of hinting to others that hey, one day maybe u'll do something similar to make my day just like i did to yours today. And today it came true.
