Extraordinary, ordinary life

Finished watching About Time as recommended by Carl who I suspect is a hopeless romantic.(such rarity for a dude) After sleeping it through and thinking for the past 12hours or so since I woke up from my slumber I've decided the winner between AT & TFIOS. The winner is..

*drum rolls*

TFIOS!

Only because it was more...filled with brilliance throughout the movie? About Time wins the Moral of the Story award but it wasn't 24/7 engaging unlike TFIOS. RACHEL MCADAMS IS STILL BEAUTIFUL AND GORGEOUS AND I STILL ADORE HER A LOT TOO THOUGH.

Currently reading TFIOS and I absolutely love the language used in the book (which I don't fully understand..but still). It's just so so so brilliant!! It's been so long since I've read a good book and even though I don't have the time to finish the book all at one go I'm super glad I'm back to reading again. My EL needs some reinforcement and re-training through reading!! Sometimes I can't even bring across my idea to my Australian-educated colleague because I can't find the right vocab to represent my thoughts. I think I'll go to the UK for my post-grad trip/work!! Need it.

"And in the end I think I've learned the final lesson from my travels in time; and I've even gone one step further than my father did: The truth is I now don't travel back at all, not even for the day, I just try to live every day as if I've deliberately come back to this one day, to enjoy it, as if it was the full final day of my extraordinary, ordinary life."
