A little conversation with the taxi uncle
[info]levonlau
 Because the taxi uncle last minute say NETS cannot use, I had to call my dad to bring down the money to help me pay (coz i'm a poor kid who can't afford taxi fare from office to home)

To eliminate the silence (or maybe some other reasons) the taxi uncle came up with a conversation. But most of the time I kept the convo going. It's in mandarin though.

Uncle: You got smoke?
Me: Nope.
Uncle: Good good, don't smoke.

*pause*

Me: But most of my friends smoke though.

Uncle. Oh. Then you never smoke?
Me: No lah. I see them smoke only.
Uncle: Good. good.

*pause*

Me: the reason is because it's too expensive.
Uncle: Oh.

*pause*

Uncle: I go outside smoke awhile.
Me: orh okay.
Uncle: Wanna smoke?
Me: No. -_-

lmao. He says it's good that I'm not smoking but he asked me if I want one. lame.

Crying out loud
[info]levonlau
 When you were a toddler, you cry to your parents when you tripped over an obstacle.

When you were a teenager, you cry to your friends when you faced an obstacle.

When you are an adult, you cry to your husband when you are overwhelmed by an obstacle.

But what if you are the husband?

Too bad, you have to overcome it.

lmao, so bored that I'm doing this

Since I was so eff-ing lazy...
[info]levonlau

and someone strongly recommends that I update this 99% dead blog. I shall share with every lucky one of you what I have browsed over the net!

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/460854

This is teh legendary assumption song.

Actually, this song has no meaning, unless your mind watches this and run all over the place. It makes you ASSUME what has happened! I think an alternative title for this would the "The Test of Purity"!

Well, I expect nothing less from you guys too. Don't say something like "What's up with the shaking fist?" or "What's wrong with rubbing eyes and sucking candies which is so tasty?"

lol. and btw, it suitable for everyone. (expect the vulgarity from the loading screen which is "FUCK" "YOU" & "BITCH")

Animals and Humans
[info]levonlau
I was stoning and I suddenly thought about animals, about how they feel to certain things that we do.

First thing that I wondered was about Boredom. Do animals get bored? I mean, esspecially pets that we own, we're definitely not spending 24 hours a day with them, how they are feeling and thinking when we are not with them? I've friends who keep dogs as pets, and they really do seem excited when they see guests into their house, and will certainly play with us (provided if they are not angry dogs). But what happens when their owners are out, and no one is at home? They would just stay in their cage, stoning like we teenagers always do, for hours. How are they feeling? Bored? Maybe sad and craves for freedom? Why not put ourselves in their shoes? It would feel like a prison, just with a kind warden(if you are a kind owner), and sometime visitors comes and play with you.

Hamsters too, although they are a little more fortunate by having a wheel to run around. They eat, then sleep, then maybe run on the wheel for a round or 2, then goes back to sleep. Doesn't these everyday routines bores them? I know we humans might be doing the same thing everyday, but what they are doing, isn't just having a treadmill in a prison?

Fishes are worst, they are just swimming around in a mini tank, circling around for 24 hours a day, I really wonder how are they feeling too. Most fishes are even kept alone, like fighting fishes. Are fighting fishes really that anti-social?

There are also pets without owners. Animals in zoo might have been better, but I have seen endangered animals become exhibited in shopping centres. I remembered that there were iguanas, snakes, and white porcupines. Iguana and snakes are cold-blooded creatures, and they really do not show their expression, so I don't know what they are thinking or feeling. But this poor little porcupine is being harassed and you can't help but feel sorry for him. This little porcupine was totally shocked from the new surroundings, being in an urban environment and have you bodies touched and played by things(humans) you've never seen before. Like "WTF where am I, whats was this cold environment(aircon), and who are these monsters around me poking me!?" It was trembling with fear and squeaking when someone carried it. But they just laughed and continued playing with it. Yes they are not harming the poor porcupine physically, but I'm not so sure if he is harmed mentally.

Some actions that humans does to these poor animal makes me think about their feelings too. Humans definitely feel fun playing with them, but are you sure you are not forcing them to play? I saw a tradition from another country over the news, where they trap horses in a stadium, and people has to catch them and cut their hair(or fur) off their back or tails for protection against evil of some sort. The newcaster said that "the horses are not harmed in any way and released after the event". Are they really not harmed? Yes I know they are not harmed physically, but how about mentality? I see those horses panicked and running away from the human equipped with sharp objects. They were definitely scared. Imagine having yourself kidnapped by aliens and they shave the hell outta you. You were not harmed, but will you like that? I definitely do not think so. What do you think might have happened the horses are being released, they might collapse from the shock of being kidnapped, or being mock by other horses. "HAHAHA, you botak now. Ugly shit-horse." Maybe later they emo and kill themselves(lol sorry abit out of point).

Killing and eating chickens might not be serious(thats ecosystem of eating and being eaten), but harming them mentality should be a no-no too. This makes me wonder about sharks. I'm sure you know how they kill sharks. Fish them up, cut away their fins, and throw them back to the sea. How cruel is that, having their only have of transport cut away, thrown back and wait for miracle to happen. How about thinking having your limbs chopped off, and then leave you on the streets. You might survive while not having limbs, but I might think it would be better off for me to die.

Very belated Father's Day. lol.
[info]levonlau
Today I woke up at 12pm. I was told and wanted to go Ming's house for a Wii party, but I haven't bathe, and they are meeting at 12.30pm at Yishun MRT station. So, I've decided not to go. It's a little sad, Mario Kart and DDR sounds fun =S. Damn, should have made an alarm.

Anyway, it was quite fortunate that I didn't go, as my family had a very belated Father Day's celebration. Yes I know we are 2 weeks late lol. The celebration was quite simple, we went to Pizza Hut at Tampines Mall.

Upon reaching Pizza Hut, I swear that Pizza Hut is one of the noisiest restaurant in Singapore. Kids screaming, crying, people chatting loudly. Even the staffs were shouting at each other(to communicate in the midst of chaos). Oh my god it's like a war in a restaurant. We proceed to order our food. First food that came was the 2 bowls of soup. The soup is like, half of the bowl? Now I get it why they stopped allowing self-service for soup. Next was the salad. NOW I really get it why they stopped allowing self-service for both salad and soup. What the heck my dad can get triple the size of the salad they served. There's no thousand island dressing that my dad craves too. The spagetti came next and it also looked "downsized". What happened to the quantity of Pizza Hut? I don't sense the upgrade of quality, all I sensed is the downsize of quantity and the upsize of the prices. They even forgot our Hut's Platter(an appitiser) and served it last.

Maybe I should think twice about going to Pizza Hut for dinner next time.

Me, myself, Ghimsiang(Kimsiang) and Huifen
[info]levonlau
I know we have alot of connections in our lives, but can something be this coincident? (Okay, maybe not so coincident, but quite funny lol.)

When I was Secondary Three, I know this friend, whose name is Ghimsiang, and we were good friends ever since. Ghimsiang, together with Kahray, introduced me to the game World of Warcraft and we were playing happily ever since. I created a Undead Warlock named Valisathas(male), Kahray created a Troll Warrior(shemale), and Ghimsiang created a Blood Elf Priest named Huifen(female). Huifen is a cute little Blood Elf who has made almost everyone in the guild believed that the real player behind Huifen is a cute looking girl, which isn't.

So how did this name "Huifen" came to Ghimsiang mind? One day, Ghimsiang was approached by a girl (whom he said wasn't chio) who was doing some charity for the needy people. Ghimsiang saw her name-tag, which was "Huifen" and he decided to use it for his cute little Blood Elf character in World of Warcraft. Althought it's a bit random, but that's how that name came about.

There was a time, Kahray and I went to have dinner at KFC, and we went to order some food. As usual, I order Zinger student meal. Kahray, on the other hand, didn't order anything, because he saw the name-tag of the girl at the counter - "Huifen". He laughed and walk away before he ordered anything. It must have been weird for Huifen in KFC. Imagine you're a person working in KFC and serve other people when...

You: Hi, welcome to KFC. May I have your order please?
Customer: *Looks at you*
Customer: *Laughs and walks away*

I suppose you'll be having tonnes of question marks on the top of your head and be wondering "Is there something on my face, or what?"

Today, I had my french tutorial. I have a classmate named Kimsiang - different person, different name, but with the same pronounciation. And this Kimsiang is sitting beside me too. I have another classmate named Huifen - different person, same name, same spelling, same pronouciation. And I partnered with her today for some oral practises. Oral practises I mean practising speaking french, mind you.

Now I have know 3 Huifens, 2 Ghimsiangs(Kim), 1 Kahray.

So, I have classmates named Kimsiang and Huifen. I also know another Ghimsiang who has been posing as Huifen for a year now. But this Kimsiang and Ghimsiang has no connections with each other, and this Huifen and that Huifen has no connections too. However, this Ghimsiang has connection with this Huifen but not that Huifen. And Kimsiang has connection with agljnvdalakmvavmad...?

I'm confused.

Results of the Audition
[info]levonlau

Looks like TP Band doesn't want me, my name wasn't listed in the results.

I suppose this is both a good news and bad news for me, at least I don't have to go home late after every Band practices and I'll have plenty of time for myself. Bad news is that I won't be able to continue learning music for free, and my idea of going to practise on their drums for my drumming lessons is not going to come true.

Now they are making me wonder why I wasn't chosen. Was it because I am unable to attend practicses on Fridays, or my skills suck that they doesn't want me anymore? )=

But luckily, all of the people that I know wasn't chosen by the TP Band. This seems to be good news that I didn't got it, or it would have been suck to attend practices alone.

3 cheers for optimism!


Audition for TP's Band
[info]levonlau

School has started since last week. All was fine and normal, but I've decided to do something a little different, that is to join Band for CCA.

Two days ago (which is monday) , Baochuan, Devon and I went for the trial for the Band. It seems like the Band I was in Punggol Secondary, where we warm up, sectionals, then combine. Well I suppose there's no other way of having band practices lol. There was but one little different: TP band is bigger than Punggol Band (obviously) , and Trombone is a little far from the conductor, thus I can't really hear what he is talking. The conductor of TP Band(Mr Tan) was the teacher of my Punggol band conductor(Miss Ten) lol, but I still prefer Miss Ten. Maybe it's because I'm used to the way Miss Ten conducts, but the way Mr Tan conducts is... a little hard to understand. I'm having hard time reading scores too! Damn, I guess this is what happens when I didn't play my instrument for too long. Luckily I was able to get the feel of playing high notes lol.

Today was the audition, but it was quite messed up. Sections by sections have to get in for interview (chit chat with them) and audition (play for them to listen). Here's what fucked up: We had to wait and wait and wait and wait and wait for our turn to come. The audition was suppose to start at 6.30pm, but I went at 7pm, and I was glad I did, because I had to wait until 9pm before it was my turn for the interview and audition. Wow, I can't believe I had 2 hours of warm-up for the auditions.

Interview - 

They just go through my particulars and asked me some questions. Like how I felt about TP Band, how I felt about the seniors in my section, how was my previous school band, what I did as a Drum Major in my previous band, blah blah blah... Although the interview was fine, but I somehow hope the interview would be in chinese instead of english. 

Audition - 

Here comes the best part, the audition to play in front of the Band president, Sectional Leader, and the Conductor. We started with Eb Major, then Bb, then F, and Eb May(again), but with triplets! I know I could play it, but I was too nervous. Although the quality of my sound is good, my tongueing was unclear. My sight-reading sucks too, even though it was an easy one. Damn, I should have control to calm myself more.

FInally it was all over. My sectional leader told me there are 3 vacancies for trombone, but 4 turned up for the audition. This means that 3 out of 4 ppl will get in, which is 75%. But since I hope to get in with Devon together, it seems that the chance is quite slim lol.

But I thought it was fortunate as a trombonist, 'coz there are 7 trumpeters and 11 french horn player of only 3 vacancies each. They are having even slimmer chance lol.

I hope all goes well for us.


My very belated Birthday present!
[info]levonlau

Wow, I have just received my very belated Birthday cum Valentine's Day present by Xiaoyi. It's abit weird to received birthday presents on Earth Day, but I'm still happy about it lol. She got me a pair of earrings with a sweet letter along. Here's some pictures of it~




 

The little spider-boy is the letter lol. For privacy I shall not reveal it to you all. The pictures might be a bit blur, but its the stud with a letter 'L', chained to a fake ring. It's fake because you require no earhole to have that lol, you just simply click it on your ear. Yay, saved the money for a earhole. 

Three cheers for my Birthday cum Valentine's Day cum Earth Day present!

C170 chalet~
[info]levonlau
This is the 2nd time my class is having a chalet(14-16th April 2008)~ Wow, I gotta say I enjoyed this time, compared to the previous one. The previous one was kinda boring, where we played videos games the whole 2 days.

We started the chalet in a quiet manner, where the 5 of just get inside the chalet, sat down, ate our KFC and watch 阿旺新传. Well, the people that arrived earlier went out to have their dinner, so we just build the "chalet atmosphere" ourselves first.

While waiting for them to come back, we played Asshole Taidee. It's like a normal game of taidee, but with 5 players. The one who finishes their hands 1st will be named King, followed by Queen, Commoner, Asshole1 and Asshole2. King will trade 2 of their worst cards for the Asshole2's 2 best cards. Queen will trade 1 of their worst card for the Asshole1's best card. Commoner will not trade cards with any players. This imbalanced game will have the advantaged King to keep winning, and the handicapped assholes to keep losing! Luckily I was the asshole2 only for the last round :P

When the rest of the people came back, it's time to play none other than MAHJONG! Oh my god, bad memories, where I lost 15 bucks during the last class chalet. Due to my fear of losing too much money, they came up with a rule where 2 people of the least tokens left will give 5 bucks to the sole winner with the greatest amount of tokens. Luckily, I was lucky this time, where the one of first few rounds I won with the limit of 5 tais. 满台(5)Where I collected 40 tokens from a player. The rest of the games weren't as luckily, but I didn't lose those tokens that I won. Woot! I can't believe I won! That'll "refund" those money I lost during the previous chalet. :D

After winning money, of course it's time to run away(to prevent losing those winnings). We moved on to play Twisters, the game that makes your body all twisted up! I've never played that game before, this was my first. It looks like a fun game, and I thought it would be easy, you know, just have ur hands and legs on some colors on the mat. BUT IT ISN'T EASY! This game is really tiring, to have you to be on an awkard position for quite some time. Although some people ended up with really funny and obscene positions. LOL.




 

Ouch, look at the mat, it looks as if it's going to be torn up. There were many other hillarious poses, but it seemed that we were all busy laughing and not taking pictures.

Until we were all exhausted from that game of Twister, it's time to bring this chalet to the climax! DRINKING games! I'm sure most of us were waiting for this moments, to play and drink. The game that they came up requires concentration, but I already drank some, and was unable to concentrate. I always had to count in advance for counting games, and try to remain calm for other concentrating games. It was fun scaring other people, in addition he always got tricked by the same methods! HAHA! Drunkards...

So we played and played until one big bottle was down to nothing. But some of the people retired from the games when the bottle was halved. But since most of us haven't played our hearts out, we took out a bottle of whisky and continue playing, until...

*BANG*
"ugh...."

Opps, someone collapsed and vomited. So, the guys dragged him out to have him puke on the grass instead of the beloved chalet floors. So, the guys took turns to look after him.

Nevermind, we resumed our games, until...

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!!"

Wow, screamings from The Drunk One. Well, I would have guessed it. Relationship problems. It always appears that people who has issues are more easily drunk. Well, he didn't drink half as much as one who really drank alot, and he got drunk rather fast. In comparison to a person of a previous chalet who was believe to be able to hold his/her liquor, was drunk and started messing around. As Zehan said, it might just be the mentality that determines if you are going to be drunk after drinking alchohol.

I believe that concludes our first day at chalet. Many people left when the sun rose on the 2nd day. Some had to attend some briefings in school, so not many were left in the chalet. Like last year, this day we just played video games for almost the whole day, until the night, where WX, bao and me left for home.

I wonder when's the next chalet?

Some people just do not get considerate enough. Do they?
[info]levonlau

I went shopping with my friends today, which happened really fine (except the times when they want to be everywhere and we went up exercising more than shopping) until we board Bus Service 80 home.

Upon boarding the bus, we sat down and talked cock(I mean chit-chat), until an uncle came and sit beside me.

This chinese uncle, like the young teenagers, came with music blasting from his handphone. My friend sitting opposite of me said he kept looking at me. "OMFG," I thought. "am I encountering a gay?"





Okay, above is a diagram to make you understand the situation. This is a bird-eye view of the bus of the first floor of a double-decker bus. X are my friends, the red O is me, and the _|_ is the uncle. He kept fidgeting, which is irritating in addition to the blasting of music. OH YA, I don't mind if it's some nice modern musics, but he is playing some oldies like this:



 
OMG, I'm falling asleep lol. Okay I'm not being song-ist (in comparison to racist), but it's still inconsiderate to blast musics that I like, just that I will be enjoying it and some others are not.

So, I borrowed my friends earphones and starts blasting to our ears.

After some stops, where people from other seats alighted, that _|_ migrated to other seats, and sat next to a cute girl(around same age as us?). Okay, this shows that the uncle is not gay anymore, but could be some bi-sexual, if not hetero-sexual. rofl.

The girl is damn cute, she told the uncle:

"Eh, your phone is ringing."

LOL. How could the uncle not know if his phone is blasting so loudly? Anyway the uncle replied:

"No la, I'm listening to music. Is it bothering you?"

"No." She replied, although I think she meant yes lol.

At many times in the bus, my friends and I really thought of passing him a pair of earphones, until his battery went flat. Wooo, we were overjoyed! The uncle then reach for his pocket, and took out another battery and replace the one that's flat.

"..............................."

WTF, I know he is showing off the brilliant sound systems of Nokia N95 8GB, but does he want to show that he could not afford a pair of earphones after purchasing that phone?

(no subject)
[info]levonlau

Wow, it's been weeks since I last posted. There's Projects to rush, CNY, overseas trip to Hongkong, presentations of Projects, examinations, blah blah blah. And woot, I finally bothered to post and update about those events. lol.

I've had the worst CNY ever, comparing with those fun I had since I was young. I've spent my chuxi, chu1, and chu2 doing projects in relatives' house. I believe you all can imagine what happened, going to relatives' house, take angbaos, sit down, on laptop, and start working. That's so sad, looking at others play while you do your homework. I got some cousins to play with my Adobe Photoshop during my homeworking, hoping they'll give me some good ideas for design, lol, which I think they did.

I remembered how I used to slack during the first 2 months of every year, because it's the beginning of a new year of school that you don't need much effort in your works. Now, it's the end of year 1 for us poly students, and so coincidently, it has to been submited right after CNY. I hate this. >_> But I didn't forget to dress up for this occassion lol.


"Presentation on Chuxi, how nice..."


"Dressing up"


"And Camwhoring"


"Inside my father van during the trip"


"With more camwhoring"

The end of my worst CNY. Btw i received around 100 bucks for angbaos from relatives, same as always.

Then it was chu3, it was a saturday when I departed for Hongkong from Terminal 3. It's the first time I've been to Terminal 3, it looks... erm... new, and clean, lol.

"My mother in terminal3, with me and my tired eyes from all the projecs the day before"

We took Singapore Airlines, and to my surprise, they serve yusheng for appitiser for lunch. It's in this small bowl that I lao1 the yusheng for the first time this year. "More money, more luck, more girls, more GPA!" Sorry I was too hungry that I forgot to take the photo of the food which I only realise after finishing it up.

Upon reaching Hongkong airport, we sat for awhile until we took the travel agency's bus to our hotel. Mexan Hotel if I'm not wrong. While checking in, we were so bored, so we started to take more pictures. lol.


"So I started with poking Minnie's nose,"


"Then my sister sexually harassed Minnie"


"Minnie was taken by my sis... So I sexually harassed the fish. lol."

After sexually harassing everyone, it was time to have our first look at our rooms, but it was darn small!



Look at the distance between the bed and the wall, we had to squeeze through to get to the TV. Oh my, but who cares, I'm gonna rest first before going shopping later. After a few days inside the hotel, I realised that the chamber maids DO NOT change the bedsheets! I hope they did before we came here. There was once I saw this chamber maid came in just to tidy our bed, clean our bathroom and empty our trashbin. I also realised a tiny stain I made on the bedsheet is still there on our last day. Oh my bloody god. It appears that this hotel does not have good service either. My dad went to ask if they serve dimsum in this hotel's restaurent and that receptionist just directed my dad to take a map and check it out. Wow, can he just answer a simple question from a tourist?

Enough of the hotel and talk about some shopping. We got ourselve the Octopus Card, also known as 八达通, to make traveling through bus and MTR easier.



"The legendary Octopus Card"


"The red line"

Since it was also chinese new year there, we didn't forget to take photos of the decorations there!


"Rats of 心想事成(wishes)"


"Kissing the Rat of 健康(health)"


"My parents and the rats of love."

And we went to lots of places, including Macau. Macau was damn cold, and you can see the condesation of water vapour when you speak, just like smoking lol. At first I thought I can do nothing in Macau, since I cannot get inside the casino(under 18, you see.) but we did quite a lot of shopping in Macau too, so it's not all about casino!

Back to hotel, it's always instant noodles for supper.


"Yum, yum. Dry instant noodles"


"Hello kitty instant noodles with hello kitty shaped ingredients! How cute."

It's always good to try out new instant noodles. lol. I like their dry instant noodles, it easier and more tasty with only 4 steps!

1. You add the dehydrated ingredient
2. Add hot water into the bowl
3. Wait for 3 mins, pour out the hot water
4. Add sauce and it's ready to eat!

It beats having to stand beside a stove and watch it boil. I've realised people there likes to eat instant noodles too, they even serve it in restaurents. >_> Surprising most people order them in restaurents. Instant noodles are served with canned food like luncheon meat too, how weird. How can this be healthy?

Now for my victory trophies for this trip. A Tough bag, Sebestian gelatine crystal, Acupuncture shoes, and a CJ7 plushie.



"Tough Bag"


"Sebestian Gelatine Crystals(used to style your hair)"


"More like jelly than crystals."

My sister recommended this to me when we saw it, so I bought it. It feels more like soft jelly than crystals. It's not bad, it gives you a natural look with easy styling, coz it's not sticky but still gives a hold for your hair.


"Carrier Bag for my shoe"


"Shoebox like a Jotterbook for Bosi School"


"Bosi Logo shoebag"


"Ta-da, my shoes"


"Logo of CJ7"

Wow, looks like Acupuncture is going all out for their shoes. They changed everything to CJ7 from carrier bags to wrapping paper for the shoes. I thought I wouldn't want to miss this pair since it was limited edition. There are logos of Bosi school, UFOs, 七仔 and many little designs related to CJ7 in this pair of shoes. There were several other designs too, but I like this best.

We also searched for the plushie in Hongkong and finally found it on the 4th day! They can only be bought after buying clothes their shop, but we were more like buying this plushie that comes with clothes. We bought 2, 1 for my sis, and the other for me. I don't bear to open it, but my sister did, hugging it from day to night.


"Still don't want to open it."
 
 
"But my sister opened hers"

This trip brought troubles to me too. It was so cold in Hongkong, from 8 to 14 degress celcius, and Macau was worst. My face cracked because it was too cold and dry. I had to present my projects in other classes for the whole day of Valentine's with my face cracked. Wasted my Valentine's Day for projects. )=

Happy Birthday, Dad!
[info]levonlau
It's my Dad's 45th birthday today. All we did for the celebration is a lil prezzie for him, and a lil cake for all of us. He's getting old, and I don't feel that I am maturing. I heard from my mom the other after my dad complaining to her about my long long hours in front of the comp and not accompanying him. Maybe I need to take out some time with my father. >_< Happy Birthday, Dad.

Sweeney Todd


 I received this movie from my friend last week, and I watched it a couple of days ago. It's quite a good movie not to be missed.

I'll try not to spoil the show in my comments, since I believe most of you have not watched it.

I believe all of you already know that this is a musical movie, so 90% of the show is sung instead of speaking them. I don't know about you, but I like the songs sung in the movie. People who hates music might feel that all these singing unnecessary and a waste of time, however, the lyrics plays an important part in telling the story. On the M18 part, it's because of violence and gore, although i find it "overrated", as there are only throat-slitting scenes(which are a little fake). It could have been NC16 and allow me to watch it in theater. )= Anyway, I feel that the storyline is good, as it is twisted story of a barber and his revenge, although the ending is weak, so it's a little bit disappointing.

Overall, I really like the movie and I don't think it's a good idea to miss it. Have fun watching it!

Worst Movie of the Month!

I had a date with my sister to Dhoby Ghaut today. She had 2 free tickets for movies in The Cathay, so she asked me out to catch a movie today. When I was released of my class, she was already at The Cathay, calling me to choose a movie. Sadly, there is a "free-listing", so we could not choose from all of the movies. We could only choose from some old/ulu ulu movies. We chose a movie called The Darjeeling Limited.

The Darjeeling Limited
 

Although there might be some spoilers afterwards, I think you can just read through. I don't think you would want to watch this movie. Darjeeling limited is about 3 brothers who have not spoken to each other in a year set off on a train voyage across India with a plan to find themselves and bond with each other -- to become brothers again like they used to be.

Storyline - 0/5
What's so interesting about having a spiritual journey around India with shoppings, boring conversations in train, and meaningless rituals? The whole plot is slow and draggy that I could have walked out of the cinema in the first 30 minutes of the show.

Genre - 0/5
Why is a movie that is not funny is in the genre Comedy? I did not laugh for more than 3 minutes in this Comedy movie.

When I went to search for this movie poster picture, I happened to see some comments. To my surprise, most of them said that this movie is perfect. After reading more comments, I realised they were all fans of Wes Anderson's film, that their comments shows that the past films influenced their opinion in this movie. A comment spoke my heart out though:

"Not funny, not dramatic, not romantic, not having a story but on a positive note, it is less than 2 hours. I must have 10 lines of text for my comments and I am confident this is more than the screenplay of this pointless movie. It is filled with moments of I am searching for a word to describe the absence of anything remotely meaningful or entertaining or well anything. Let's have breakfast and stand on a hill and have some cough syrup. Yeah and then let's get our shoes shined. Maybe we could have some lime drink. Hey let's film Bill Murray one of the greatest comic actors of all time running because that's what he does best. We will let Owen Wilson talk and film Bill Murray running. Sounds good to me. I know - a flashback to our father's funeral but let's show them trying to pick up his Porsche instead but it can not be driven so let's push it out of the garage and then push it right back in again. Let's wrestle for a bit and then go to the dining car. Shall we let the audience go home now. Sure why not. They already paid. I am certain that some sort of random plot generator was used to create and stitch together this drivel. I wasted some of my life at this movie and now I have wasted some more commenting on it. Enough!"

Now you know how movies can suck. Luckily this was free for both my sister and I.

Fortune Today: Will be called lame by readers after they read this post.


 
Name: Law Chunfu
Fortune today: Will call Levon to try out the Scanner(which I did)

Wow, this is so fun. You better try it some time too.

Pain in the eye.

 I was finally time to go home after a long and tiring day. Although it sucked that I have to redo my CMSK3 report, I still can't wait to get home and have a good rest. While waiting for bus to come, I saw an accompany to go home with me, which was none other than Ghimsiang. Looking upwards towards the stairs, I hope to see more familiar faces to go home together. Instead of friends, I saw white colour until the skirt.

Miniskirt + high staircase combination = you-know-what.

Wow, and my bus service 15 is here, only to see it packed and unable to load us into the bus. My classmates that were with me suggested we proceed to the bus stop near engineering school so we could get a seat in the bus.

During the little walk to the bus stop, something stings in my right eye. It really hurt and Ghimsiang said my eye were all red. I thought it was because that I saw the wrong thing that has caused my eye to hurt. Ghimsiang advised me not to rub, just in case it is something sharp and I could have gone blind. I listened, and the pain eventually gone after tearing. It did not hurt as much when I was in the bus, so I stopped worrying it and started to take nap, although I was sure that foreign object is still in my eye.

After alighting in Compass Point, I decided to take a pee while taking a look what was in my eye. To my surprise, it was a dead flying ant. This little ant must be some kamikaze pliot that sucided in my eye. Conclusion: Ants do fly into eye and dies(which rhymes)

Now I will think twice about looking up a staircase, I might end up with a dead flying cockroach in my eye x_X

Interactions among people.

Today is the most anticipated day of the month, where I finally get to have my haircut! I'm gonna get it cut at 4pm later, but I decided to post a few things that happened this morning.

As usual, I got ready for school today, and went to the bus stop. I saw a familiar face, which is an ex-classmate of mine. Although we weren't close to each other, I still wanted to say hi. I walked up to her and noticed that she noticed me, so I said.

"Hey there, <name>"

*two seconds passed*
*turns to me, put up her hand and smile*
*turns back*

Lol, I felt that I was some sort of ignored, so I stepped back to where I was. I guess you all know how I felt back there, it was awkard. Maybe she was in deep thought, or just can't be bothered with me.

So during the long bus ride, I thought about some human relationships.

Let's say there are relationship units between people, like this:



Both people are neutral to each other, they are neither friends of enemies. A decided to make friends with B, so he said hi.



A decided to be friendly with B, thus his bar increases. B wanted to be friendly too so he said hi too.


Now B's bar increased too, and they continue to talk, chat, laugh and eventually become friends!


Now A & B are good friends!


If A didn't take the initiative to start the conversation, they might not have become good friends.
If B didn't respond to A and act dao, they might not become friends.
If A & B did not continue the conversation, they might just be normal friends where they just know each other, but not good friends.

Thus I strongly believe there must be interaction between humans to have friends. If you were to act dao, how would you make friends? You might as well just kick away the relationship bar and let it stays empty.

If your relationship bar is negative, in other words, having a conflict with another person, I'd rather you have some quarrelling with each other and make things right again. It's always better than ignoring him while leaving the problem behind. You can always start a conversation with him/her to solve the conflict. Let's have another example:


A & B are in a middle of a fierce argument now, and their relationship bars are red(negative relationshop), in other words, they are both mad at each other.


A decided to calm down and maybe says he's sorry, but he still abit mad at B too. He wants to resolve with B about the argument.


B feel thats this argument is going nowhere, so he calms down and talks with A about the argument.


Once it is resolved, they eventually became back to friends!

I know it's abit lame lawl, but that was in my mind during the bus trip in bus service 27 to tampines. There is a need to communicate, be in chatting or some quarrelling, because it brings us together. If that situation above wasn't resolve, they might have calmed down after the argument, but that does not mean they are still friends with each other. Even if both parties calmed down after no resolution, there is still some awkardness if they do not mention about the argument anymore.

So stop reading this and interact with me! SMS MSN talk to me. I'm single and available 17 years old!

Overcome Porn!

A rather interesting advertisment while browsing the web.

I seriously do not know Porn and Jesus are related. Has pornography addiction comes to where only Jesus can help?
I really have no idea.
