After prelims ended, I lingered with .12 people a bit before going to the library to borrow 2 dvds on eastern philosophy and cell biology. After I got home, I watched supernatural episode three where castiel and dean trapped archangel raphael and interrogate him about God’s whereabouts, the central theme of the episode being centered around missing father figures. Then I went with my cousin to bishan library, where I got carl jung’s writings on “psychology and the east” along with another book called “love sick” where I read about kamikaze sperms. lawl. Highlight of the day: we caught Phobia 2 (the follow-up to 4bia, which James said was really good). It’s composed of 5 short films sewn together into one. I found the first story really sad. Esp. the last moment when the character was crying for his parents’ forgiveness. Karma’s a bitch. The last one was there for comic relief, and boy did it help. Halfway through, me and my cousin were already counting down and considering adjourning from the cinema. The spirituality in thailand is pretty screwed up, and Thai directors really know how to play with your mind. Prior to this, I’ve already noticed a blossoming film industry in thailand, so I thought I should watch a thai horror movie, since it’s pretty much their signature genre. Luckily, I was able to sleep.

Do I believe in the supernatural? Yea I do. The thing that convinced me about it was a short story by san mao, in her book entitled 《撒哈拉的故事》which we had to read in sec 3. It details how san mao picked up a talisman unwittingly on the streets, and started having hallucinations of snakes and an excruciating stomach ache when she got home. While she was driving from the hospital, her car got spooked as well, and she almost died in a car accident. Eventually they got some guru to perform a ritual, and the guru revealed that she had come into contact with a hexed object. My memory about it is pretty vague now. The following video is a trailer for the movie “paranormal activity”.. coming soon. Its kinda blair-witchesque, but scarier… Do you believe in the supernatural?
