Colleges, schools and universities around the Klang valley, PJ and KL are all closed today. Including HELP. Test is postponed until further notice and we got an extra few days to hand in our Econs assignment. I don't really know whether I should be rejoicing or mourning. I could be happy that I get an extra few days to prepare for the test but I could also whine and moan about the current bloody haze situation. Tough choice.
In conclusion, I'm stuck at home till further notice and till the smog clears up a little more for me start breathing freely again. I'm even getting sick and tired of my own whining. The entire house is on air-conditioning mode but even that can't stop the smoke from seeping in through the cracks and nooks of the windows and doors. My room smells of roses and champagne fragrance from my own doing of dousing almost the entire house in vain to disguise the awful stench. It still stinks but not that much.
I lost my favourite green bracelet. I hope some good samaritan will find it and put it to good use.
Instead of studying for my finals this morning I ended up watching 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' on HBO. It was the funniest vampire movie I've ever watched. Which I don't think it intended to be a comedic vampire movie but just watching Keanu Reeves playing Jonathan Harker was almost laughable. He was as wooden in 1992 as he is today. However, the film's saving grace was Gary Oldman as the infamous Dracula and Cary Elwes as Arthur Holmwood. I knew I saw Cary somewhere before and lo and behold, he was Robin Hood in 'Robin Hood: Men in Tights'. I was in awe at how fake the blood was and the unrealistic facts and things in the movie. Like how blood transfusion was done and what really made Dracula and his brides scary. I miss watching 'Interview with the Vampire'. Still the best vampire movie ever made.
Anyways, it was a good laugh to help me relive some tension arising from being suffocated outside. Time for some reading and studying. Stay safe and smog-free.
Lastly, I just have to share this portrait with everyone who reads this. He just seems to get better looking every year.
