光阴似箭 日月如梭

I want to watch:
RED CLIFF II
The Wedding Game
Love Matters
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans

I may watch these too...
Changeling
The Duchess
Inkheart

I have no idea why days past so fast. Years in poly were over in a blink. Days are really passing very quickly. 3 out of 5 weekdays I have no school, officially, unofficially. I think I spent my time too unwisely. Time to reflect!

No matter what, I'll make sure I get to watch the movies I want, be it by myself or not. Perhaps it's time to start dating my girlfriends. Pretty please?

I was just thinking, my friday is still unoccupied, after make-up tutorials. And my mum hasn't went for any movies in a while. So I'm taking her out! :)

i realized, i've actually managed to become friends with people i like, whom i wanted to become friends with. people like jx, mary, jiekai, isabel, etc. though we may not be close friends, we could if we want to, if we try harder.

so i was just thinking. wow. somehow, somewhat, fate brought us together, just like i wanted it to be. however, there are some exception. hr doesnt reply my offline messages, and i have no reasons to sms him. i cant really talk to him now coz he's always busy, and he thinks i like him or sth. so i just tell myself, forget it. when the time comes, it will come.

another exception. i have known him for 2 years, almost. he's always alone, always first to leave to catch his bus number 8. but he smiles and laughs too and is serious in what he's doing. haha. just, independent people intrigues me. it's going to be our last year, so maybe i'll try to find a chance to talk to him.

Happy Chinese New Year. it didn't exactly start out right coz i just missed the last bus to aunt's place. i've got no idea why i want to spend it over at grandpa's place so badly. maybe it's a custom already. partly for the pineapple tarts, for the angbao, maybe? for the atmosphere, or going just for the sake of going. to see grandpa, and grandma before it's too late. i can't imagine the pain of losing a loved one.

speaking of that, my mum's cousin, my.. aunt. she's lying unconsciously in Mount Elizabeth Hospital. room 5267 or something. heard from my mum she's suffering from several illness and has been there for 5 days already. it's new year, supposed to be a joyous celebration... she used to take care of me and pamper me. i remember the feelings. God bless.

my first hindi* movie

It was a whole new experience of course, with my friend Dhatchayani, an Indian. I had no idea why I was watching with her but she really, really wanted to watch. And the title is "Chandni Chowk to China".

First we had our lunch at The Central's Manhattan Fish Market. The fish was excellent, service so-so, price was affordable! I would definitely go again for the Grilled Platter for One/Two or something similar.

Then we bought tickets at Jade cinema! It was my first time visiting Jade and I was actually quite surprised to see a Chinese serving at the box office. She was quite old though. The one in charged of candy bar, and the one who opened the door were Chinese too! I mean, this cinema shows films in Tamil, natural people who watch it would know Tamil, and Chinese don't. Nvm.

The film was really unexpectedly funny though a bit cliché and WOW, it's been a long time since I've had a 3-hour long movie. It was really worth my $8 which had an intermission for nothing. It was more of a tradition and has no reason for it anymore. I didn't expect to see Chinese acting in it though the movie title is to CHINA. Just didn't had that thought.

Anyway, the main actor was a Taekwondo black belt thus he was chosen. With all the stunts and fights the main actor has to put up, it would be of course be at optimum if he already knew how to fight without injuring himself. Though there weren't many people in the theatre, I saw Chinese watching it! Haha another WOW. This is the best indian film I've even seen, though it's my first. It's very interesting with the plot, the acting, the fighting etc. What's more, there's a sequel which is gonna be "China to Africa" hah.

We both had no idea Chandni Chowk was a part of India, btw. Many thanks to the subtitles if not we wouldn't really understand the whole thing lol. And Dhatch, you owe me $8 still.

(:

i had 2 singing sessions this week.

last monday, met up with mary, jon, hs, yx, weidong and cs to return mary something. lunch-ed at pastamania. for some reason, jon and cs couldn't finish their creamy chicken. then impromptuly, weidong called teoheng for ktv at 3pm. so we took a bus, and began.

yx sang SHE, cs chose rainie yang. weidong's singing was really shocking, shockingly nice haha. cs was not bad too, esp the One Night in Beijing. i couldn't really hear jon sing coz hs was singing along w/o the mic right beside me. 3 people's first time for karoake woot.

wednesday, met up for projects, then BTT e-trial. when i reached, sam and jeryl were descending the stairs. when i was home, i was so shocked looking at dhatch's blog. i actually MISSED her but caught them. she left too early hahaha.

i brought ai-xin wan-can for my moon from home and we dined at the cafeteria. we were bascially just talking, then yuan arrived and he continued studying. after they left for their trials, i resumed my pool game in the nds. 10mins before mine, i continued from where i left off. there wasn't enough time so i went up anyway. didn't know there were 6 to choose from so randomly picked 6 then 2 and passed the 2nd time.

friday, was the deadline for cma2 so i had to crawl up from early in the morning to hand it up then head to ubi for BTT. saw sicheong & chatted with him! he wished me luck for BTT haha. i was very early because i was ahead of time by 40mins (wrong information given). coincidentally, i got on bus 8 and saw moon and yuan. so i read through the book the 2nd time and started the test.

i didn't know there was a ppt showing till i looked at the direction the person next to me was looking at. i only saw the scanning nric part, then i logged in and started on my test. roughly 4 or 5 questions i was unsure of so when it said End Test? i simply clicked ok and... PASSED.
i think i took slightly more than 5min. the invigilator signalled me to get out so i did. i went down to find out where to sign up for FTT. w/o my nric, i went up, realised i forgot to print my results. went inside to get my things and signed up for FTT. i checked just a few questions, my moon checked 1 time and yuan checked twice. no wonder so slow.

we went to katong shopping centre next, for teoheng. eden jianwen and zhuen were there already. none of us had lunch so i went down to get 4 packets of chicken rice. jw had 2. ze and moon didn't want any. sing sing sing, end of session. went to aston's for dinner. eden's treat haha. then lan at few doors away. dota and a bit of cs. then all of us took 10 to tampines and took some pictures before we split.

finally said HI to melvin on bus 67 with eden. i thought he forgot about me, apparently not! my 4/2 classmate haha. and i know he knows benjamin and jikai too. i only wonder where is tan yean miao, the notorious guy in my P2 class lol.

saturday, watched ong bak 2 with jj and cs. it was supposed to be Australia loh! i didn't know till i saw the ticket stub. apparently they thought it was too late but they didn't said it was gonna be ongbak. so i was just thinking, my first thai ong bak show, maybe it's a good experience afterall. there was a storyline well, attempted. the fighting scenes are pretty different from western and chinese styles, more of fighting to kill. then the story ended abruptly talking about karma omg. for what?! the ending was no ending but i guess, besides that it was pretty a good experience.

then i went to have a steamboat dinner with raymond! (: wow after not seeing him so long, he's still the same lah. we had a good chat throughout our journey to the east. and.... he said he was pissed coz he was actually thinking what movie we can watch together lol. anyway i know because of the work he was doing and the lack of sleep thus the irritance. benjamin button, hope we'll get to see it together.

next was xiao ai's chalet. i've never been so busy on a saturday man. jieyi and emylee were already there. lokto was on bus 15, slower than my 21. yonghao was waiting for her, so, late too. we just ate, and stood around and chatted. took some pictures, then went off already. don't know the people at all, no reason to talk to them, so we left at around 10pm to mcdonalds. chatted awhile and went to catch the last few buses. bingshun was telling me about NS life and loose joints. let's hope his injury won't affect his future performance. and i'm seriously thinking of joining. then my mum told me, "people are trying to get out, while you're trying to get in". well, lol.

lijmae

Lol I don't know when the debts would be cleared, so just forget it. Take your time hur. When you get your pay in cash then you shall return!



Gosh. I'm addicted to 一支梅~ I like him not because he's handsome or whatever, but he looks really charming switching the day & night roles. Well, being attracted to his role has resulted in being mesmerized by him lol.



The show is really nice, with a lot of twists and suspense. Even the starting music sounds mysterious! My favourite show. Even better than Hong Kong ones.

$ all on movies - broke lol

YES! Man
Starring Jim Carrey as Carl Allen
First he says 'no' to everything; then he says 'yes' to all. He found love, had a promotion, everything was going smoothly. Except that the more he says 'yes', the more unluckier he gets. Then he decides to decide for himself whether it would be a 'yes' or 'no'. So, he settled on 'maybe', with a happy ending.
-with mary & jon.


The Visitor
Starring Richard Jenkins as Walter Vale
This old man (with white hair) steps into his over-15-years vacant home to find a couple, who had been staying there for 2 months. The visitor changed his life by teaching him to play drums, and aroused his interest for that. The visitors made him feel life again, and he felt love.
The main actor was awarded as Best Actor of the Year Award of some sort - well, a serious contender for the 2008 Academy Award for best actor.
-with xin & ben.


Bedtime Stories
Starring Adam Sandler
as Skeeter Bronson
This Mr Fixed-It-All had no say in the holiday resort he had passionately worked for for over 25 years, since it was his father's. He had to babysit his nephew and niece somehow, so all he could was tell a bedtime story. Miraculously the dreams came true, with factors involved obviously. Then it's like a fairytale - down, up, down, up. Happy ending.
-with xin.


Ip Man (TRUE STORY)
Starring Donnie Yen
as Ip Man 葉问
Basically this story is all about Chinese martial arts, where he doesn't take in disciples, till Japanese Occupation he teaches to a lot. He loves his family, loyal to friends, good in martial arts. Oh man, this is the kind of man that ONLY exists from the past. The martial arts is worth watching for. Lucky he didn't die, if not his martial arts wouldn't be able to pass down to Bruce Lee.
-with yx mary jon wc zach.
