Contaminated Society

Went and watched The Island last night which I really enjoyed.

It was after all just a movie but the plot seemed too simple, but yet not really at the same time. Citizens of the Institute are led to believe that the world outside has been contaminated, and they are the survivors of a nuclear war or environment harard. They are also the special ones who will eventually be chosen by lottery to go to The Island.....the last non-contaminated site left in the world, to breed and create a new society.

However, Lincoln Six-Echo begins to question whether The Island is actually what people make it to be. There is no such thing as The Island. A nuclear war didn't happen. They don't have to wear matching white skin-tight suits and shoes. (you'll have to watch it to get this, but it's only a visual thing which you see alot in the movie anyway)

When the truth behind what the purpose of the Institute is for, you're suddenly thrust into the real world with the entire SWAT team chasing after you in the Arizona desert, eventually making it to Los Angeles. (complete with cable trains dangling in the air in downtown LA and videophones)

It's all about creating clones as life insurance policies for citizens living in the supposedly contaminated society.

One thing though that sprung to mind, was that the hope the people living in the Insitute was on making it to The Island, their paradise. It was scary in some aspects in that what they put their hope for was all a lie.

It does make me wonder how easy it is for skeptical people to think that the hope Christians believe in could also be a lie.

But my hope remains :D

Girls Day Out

Had an absolutely wonderful day with my girlfriends. I should once again especially thank my two ultra special bridesmaids on planning such a funfilled Kitchen Tea for me.

I knew I was going to be slightly emotional by the end of it, but it does make me realise that I don't do fun and silly stuff as much as I used to. The whole process of just being yourself, not caring how anyone else thinks of you and having a great time. I really do miss those times, and so........I should do it more!

Maybe not another Kitchen Tea, but more hanging out with my friends. I'm finding that is difficult, especially when you have a wedding to plan for. But, once that's over, I'll try hard to make sure I don't ditch any of my friends. Sure I'll have a husband to cook for and look after (hehehe) but there should be times where we both do our own things. (mmmm shopping!!)

Speaking of, a local public holiday is looming mid next week. I sense a cook-out and mahjong is on the cards for the day.

I've added another acronym to my growing list. BERT.

Now the first thing I think of when I look at that is Bert from Sesame Street. You know, the monobrow character with a long sausage face that nobody likes. Now, what BERT actually stands for is nothing too flash or fancy so I'm not going to say it here :)

The point is sooner or later, with more and more acronyms being developed we'll probably all starting talking in acronyms. I mean, doesn't that already happen with SMS?

Some sentences could be:

The AFES group in QLD decided to look at the topic of BGRs at their next MYC. This was also done by YF at CCCB.

or

Instead of working at CMS (*wink) or AFES, why not consider doing MTS at SDBC for 2 years before heading to MC, BCQ or SMBC?

and last one

We require your TFN to be able to lodge your ITR in order to receive an NOA. You'll also need an ABN to be able to register for the GST, FBT and PAYGW.

Ok, I'm now neck deep in oil, from drilling too far down. Can someone throw me a lifeline?
