High Fidelity

"High Fidelity"

Question 1

What is the movie about?

The movie is mainly about a guy that never succeed in love but eventually realize that he needs to settle down and start thinking about having a family and live a normal life like others. His interest was music. He owns a record store. And because he was too obsess with music, he can't manage his own life and didn't realize that his girlfriends got bored of him.

He is quite good looking but always end up breaking up with his girlfriends. Throughout the movie, he tells about all his top five ex girlfrinds, but the fifth seems to be the one he loves most. He broke up up with Laura(his fifth girlfriend) but finally realize that he cannot live without her. In the end, he finally realize that he should know better about himself and try to make changes so that he would't end up with frustration.

Question 2

How is it different from the common fiction?

Usually, when we watch fiction movies, especially love stories, the story will end when the couple got married and lived happily ever after. But in this movie, it doesnt really ends with marriage. In the movie, it only shows the guy proposed the girl but doesn't really show whether at the end they got married or not. Throughout the movie, we can see that the characters is not much different from what we see in the real world. It shows the reality of the real world rather than just a common fiction that sometimes are a bit too unbelievable.

Question 3

Whose your favorite character and why?

My favourite character from the movie "High Fidelity" is Dick. He seems to be the most nicest character in the movie. He works with Rob at the record store. What I like about this character is that he seems to be very polite and quite shy especially with girls. I really love guys like Dick because he respects other people, and very concerned about others especially his close friends, Rob and Barry. What I like most about him is that, throughout the movie, he looks very innocent and the expression on his face can make other people sympathize him.

Question 4

Provide an alternate ending.

The ending that most probably suits this movie will be that although Rob has already proposed Laura, but they won't get married. A guy like Rob will never change or he will end up marrying someone else. In my opinion, the suitable ending will be when suddenly Rob thinks that he can no longer live with Laura because he finally realize that Laura is not suitable for him. Laura is a lawyer and he is just a normal guy that owns a record store. After he meets the a girl, that he thinks suits his stlye and the way of living, he realize that the girl is meant for him. After a few years of dating,in the end, he finally got married and live a happy life with the girl that understand him and have the same interest that he does, that is music.

The Difficulties in Writing

Writing.......

In my opinion, writing is not easy...

To me, writing is quite challenging..

Especially when you don't really have the knowledge about you want to write.

Those who find writing as something that they enjoy to do

or writing for pleasure, they might not have problems in doing so.

It depends on the individual itself.

Usually when people write for pleasure,

they will end up with excellent piece of work...

BUT if they do so by force, the results will end up less interesting and boring.

Although I am not that good in writing, but I love to read.

Sometimes, through reading, I can get the idea of what to write....

WHAT ARE THE DIFFICULTIES I FIND WHEN WRITING???

1. Limited Vocabulary

2. To many grammatical errors (I think....)

3. Do not have enough background about what to write.

4. Limited experience about the topic.

5. Don't have enough time.

6. Unclear instruction of what to write. (usually happens during exams in school)

7. Not interested in the topic.

The New Semester

The new semester…..

??????? me, myself & i……
The new semester has begun…..
But to me, everything is not as before…
This semester, it will be me, myself & i…
You know why???
Because my closes friend is no longer with me…
We couldn’t manage to register the same class for this semester and it is quite disappointing…
I think this semester will be quite challenging because I’m all alone..
Each day won’t be the same without Wawa….huhuhu
But, nothing to worry about.
For this semester
I will try to become more independent….
I will study harder and try to increase my pointer….
I’m a ‘SURVIVOR’…yeaaah!!!

“CREATIVE WRITING”
If I’m not mistaken, I think I have taken this course during pre-tesl….
Hmmm….i don’t really remember..
But it’s not wrong to take this course for the second time anyway…
I must admit, I am not really good in writing
Especially in creative writing
So I hope this course will really help me improve in my writing…

“The first TSL620 class”
The class started a little early, at about 6pm.
From the timetable, the class should start at 6.10pm.
When I entered the class, the lecturer was already there.
I thought I was earliest one to class but the lecturer was earlier than me..
That was quite bad start.
I felt very guilty with myself because from my point of view, as a student, I should come earlier to class before the lecturer does…
Next time I will try to come earlier and not disappoint myself.
The class that day was rather crowded.
I don’t know why the number of student in that class was over limit..
It should have been 30 but from what I saw, there were about 40 students in the class.
But no doubt, maybe because the lecturer, Sir Jaferi was quite cute…hehe
No wonder the number students in that class was more than it should have been.
Perhaps it will be more challenging than.
Positive thinking!!
The most important thing is, I want to learn and improve my writing plus my English language and try to work with my new friends of course.
