good old days
10:58 PM
its kinda lag, but just caught wall-e. it is one of the best cartoon I have seen in a long time! just love the way the robots are brought to life by the pixar geniuses to tug at our heartstrings and make us sympathise and go "awwww..." just love the way they poke fun at things going on in our lives. but ironically, the cartoon doesnt seem v children friendly. I dont think kids will get or appreciate their jokes which are more subtle and clever I guess? but with the kids nowadays, they would probably see more into the movie than I ever would...
catching up with yan and vaness the past 2 days just made me miss the good old days (i am sounding ah-ma-ish alrd) even more...
type A room in PGP is seriously... WAH. that's the only word i could think of once i stepped into vaness's room (actually, once i stepped out of the lift.. even the corridor is... WAH). the nice COOL air, the LONG windows, the LARGER floor space, the PRIVATE toilet... WAH. shuang-ness. vaness, you are so going to have trouble getting yan and me out of your room. you are doomed! (:
the ridiculous things we do (we are seriously becoming aunty-ish):
vaness: lets watch a movie someday!
yan: lets watch tml (which is today)!
all: ok!! ok!! *general high-ness* lets watch wall-e!!
....
*looks for movie online*
*search frantically between GV and Cathay since they are the only ones with discounts*
*search GV and cathay websites*
*movies only showing at ulu places or at weird times*
*in denial. search on yahoo*
*found! vivocity at 4.50pm*
vaness: gt student price right? $6!
me: yay! can save money!
*vaness checks tix online. its $8.50*
vaness: why so ex?
me: oh! hol eve! no discounts!
*search frantically for ANY discounts*
*ALL discounts are not valid on hol eve*
*in denial. spend half an hour searching*
*found a $18 bargain for 2 tix and some popcorn combo at GV MS*
*wall e not showing*
*decide to change movie to painted skin*
*checks discount again to make sure it is valid*
"valid from 10-28 Sep 08"
all: . . .
all: lets just forget it. just pay.. waste so much time.
the things we do...
but finally something is going right for me!
angel's friend was selling movie vouchers at $4!! any movie, any time at any GV!! with discounts for popcorn and nachos and hotdog!!
and our junior, jonathan works at GV!! and gave us freee upsize to our food!
*bliss*
if only life works out like this ALL the time.

pizza makes the world go round
11:03 PM
Just had a pizza outing with my pizza buddy! See??? I mention you in my blog k! Up the ladder!
Thanks for making my sucky day substantially LESS sucky.
Highlights of the day:
- the STUPID usfos programme which noone taught us how to use and expect us to hand in a report based on our findings using that STUPID programme. drew like 6 graphs in ONE DAY. did I mention how STUPID it is???
- had to ask the prof how to use the STUPID programme which took up so much time
- probably kenna summon when dropping off SSR and TB at the busstop which was inside the bus lane
- late one hour to meet MY
wonderful isnt it?
thank goodness for nice friends who put me back into a good mood (((:
Enjoy when you can and endure when you must.

weird randomness
11:34 PM
- Can you cry under water?
- How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
- Why do you have to ‘put your two cents in’… but it’s only a ‘penny for your thoughts’? Where’s that extra penny going to?
- Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
- What disease did cured ham actually have?
- How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
- Why is it that people say they ’slept like a baby’ when babies wake up like every two hours?
- If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?
- Why are you IN a movie, but you’re ON TV?
- Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
- Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?
- Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They’re both dogs!
- Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog’s face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?
- If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
- Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?
- Why did you just try singing the two songs above?

HAHA. Amusing. Apparently Boon is a very musculine word...
On a more disturbing note, some people are just soooo irritating. Do things dont do. Push blame everywhere and try to act as though everyone else is in the wrong. We make our own destiny and if you cant be bothered, dont assume that everyone lives the way you do. Its just ridiculous.

Tomorrow will be a better day. But that's what I thought yesterday.
10:34 PM
Saying that things haven been going my way the past few days, weeks, the entire semester is like an understatement.
Screwed up tests, projects, assigments and tooooooo many random series of unfortunate events.
Feeling like crap but out of nowhere, when I was blog hopping (procrastinating again!), I saw this link on Sihui's blog to a Daughtry song, What About Now. Always thought it was a typical love theme kind of song but the video is surprisingly different from his other rock band-ish videos.
And it made me feel better. So much better that I won't even whine on my blog. Cause I whine to people until sian already... =P
I love random events that somehow manage to change my day.. Or what's left of it. Maybe there's an angel for me afterall... Somewhere.. A really lazy angel.
Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little. - Edmund BurkeDaughtry - What About Now?

Why do people suffer so?
10:25 PM
Just watched 12 Lotus today. Realised hokkien songs (not those annoying beng ones..) are impossibly sad. There's just something that speaks straight into the soul. Or maybe it's just me. Have no idea why people gave it such bad reviews and comments. Perhaps I didnt watch 881 and had no basis for comparison but then again, maybe these people just dont like sad movies. (Or they are just too dumb to see the point of the movies.. Some comments are downright ridiculous.. see example below.) Yes there were weird pieces of scenes that dont seem to fit together but that's just the way the lead actress' life was.
HOW CAN HER LIFE POSSIBLY MAKE SENSE TO HER?
To cut a long sad story short, 12 Lotus is about the life of a getai singer who has a serious case of bad luck. Physically abused by her father as a child, cheated (in every possible way) by her bf/husband once her father died and AGAIN abused by some random guy in her mid-life once her bf/husband dumped her.
And all because of money.
It breaks my heart just to think about it. I wanted to reach into the show to comfort her. (It's that sad ok!)
She didnt deserve any of those crap that happened to her. Then again, most unfortunate people probably dont.
Why do people suffer so...
One cannot weep for the entire world. It is beyond human strength. One must choose.

applesweetgirl_1310What I loved most: stefanie sun
What I really hated: sudden musicals and choice of songs which do not really fit the scene.
Comments: this is really about the worst movie i've ever watched. although i understand the storyline and everything, it's a really really really boring movie which makes you learn nothing worthy in the end. i mean, when you watch movies, even cartoons like Kungfu Panda, teaches you something. even tragedy like Titanic makes you feel something after watching it. but this movie? it just put you into a tragedy mode throughout (which i think is what the director wants actually. ). tragedies do not really have to boring though. but this is downright boring. i only got excited when i saw stefanie sun's face. hahaha. boring, boring, boring. why pay money to become immersed in sadness (with no values taught)? you can get it for free in life. haha."
This comment is so stupid that i cant even begin commenting on it. I can never stop should I even try to begin. Sigh.

THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly.AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES."
