War of the Worlds... WOW!!
Went to watch War of the Worlds today at Lido, and I must say every single milli-cent of my eight bucks was worth it.
At the beginning, when those tripod bloodsuckers erupted from underground and wiped out 99% of the population, I was thinking if I should have watched it with some friends or a friend instead - it was quite horrifying at some parts and my hands were up to my mouth *gasp* most of the time.
Man, the show was great. The graphics are amazing. The performances put up by Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning was fantastic. Everything about the show is just GREAT!! I think I'll give it 4 out of 5 stars. Seems like I have been giving 4 stars for many shows recently - Mr. & Mrs Smith, Kingdom of Heaven, Star Wars Episode III, Constantine etc. Wow, this year has been a year of great movie blockbusters!!
Anyway, I'm watching Initial D next Monday. If anyone wants to watch as well, and don't mind me as company, we can go watch together, you know. Don't say I didn't ask.Labels: movies

It's Over? Nah!!
Today's last paper didn't come as a relieve to me. Instead, it gave me a sign, a WARNING, that I'm not fully prepared at all, even with the one month holiday. I had not learnt to plan my work and play properly, prioritize other stuff besides my studies, which should nevertheless be my TOP PRIORITY.
A nap yesterday afternoon sent me back in time, to tell me that I had unknowingly made a careless mistake in my math paper. I had this very scary nightmare earlier this morning, as if it's telling me to wake up and study more for physics.
I should take this as a wakeup call, because I know out of the 4 papers I took, 3 would have very bad failures, while the other one would be a bad fail. Not that attractive. Which probably explains why I was still a little gloomy after the end of the exams.
Went for "class outing" - brunch at LJS and some shopping in TM (especially Toy'R'Us). Spent a total of about 4 hours before our legs finally took the toll and we decided to go home. I must say it was a very good time of class bonding and fun. I also met Wan Yee at TM too, I guess we have affinity... hehe...
And it was quite lucky for me too, because of a so-called "delay" in time while waiting for Yin Chieh, not only did I saw Joshua Ang (PRSS/I Not Stupid actor)...... I also met the 3 guys that changed my life!! I was practically in a daze for hours after that!!
God.. it's been 3 years?!?!
Meanwhile, I will take a little break this weekend and resume with my hectic schedule next week. Till then, everyone enjoy the weekends!!

Shopping...
Hmmm... supposed to study today but had to do some shopping to get clothes for my handsome cousin's wedding coming in the third quarter of this year. No choice lah...
Bought quite little but they cost quite a lot, luckily I wasn't the one paying. =P. And there was this free coffee thing with every $50.00 spent, and I went to try it with my mom. It's the first time I actually drank a full cup. I added 3 packets of sugar and creamer. Something in my head tells me I might be diabetic if my very-sweet tooth doesn't stop there. My mom said there wasn't much flavour in the coffee left, but I finished the whole cup!! Erm, I wouldn't say it's very nice, I'm still a tea person, you know. While my coffee-addict mom says she can stay up later tonight, I was thinking "Shit, I have to study later tonight..."
Went back Tampines to get those contact lens solution which were going at fabulous prices!! Great Singapore Sale what... And there were free gifts too!! Goodie goodie... And I met Qifan there, so coincidental, everytime go Century Square can meet him one.. Everyone must be thinking "Hmm, TM must be full of familiar faces, better go Century Square..."
Come to think of it, I only have TWO days left to the start of the common tests and open school. Not really looking forward to it. I haven't started chinese revision (truth is, I don't know where to begin) and I'm stuck at perfect competition for Econs... too much information, I can't really get it in my head.
Now, only time will tell what will happen...

A LOT LIKE LOVE
Let's see...
Sick for the past day and a half.
Didn't really touch my books.
Econs extra lesson today was just 3 of us and Larry.
And.....
I watched A LOT LIKE LOVE with Yin Chieh and her sister.
Here's the synopsis of the great movie - I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
A great romance can ruin a perfectly good friendship.
Airport. Bon Jovi. Camera. Airplane lavatory. "Hi, I'm Oliver". Strike Two. Camera shots of Oliver. "I'm Emily". Blind date. No talking. Great night. Hills. This is a National Park. 40 second shutter speed. "Don't move". San Francisco. Diapers dotcom. "I'll Be There For You". Emily's engaged. Suit measure. Cancels engagement. Oliver in a suit.
Never too late for something... A LOT LIKE LOVE.
The show was really great, and I don't mind watching it again. But, the next time will have to wait till my Common Tests are over.
And hell yeah, I'm beginning to like photography more.Labels: movies

I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU (Bon Jovi)
(sang in the show A LOT LIKE LOVE)
I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
Well as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love is suicide
You say you've cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore
I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance girl
I'll be there for you, these five words I swear to you
When you breathe, I wanna be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you
I know you know we've had some good times
Now they have their own hiding place
Well I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday
And baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your Valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty baby
When you get drunk, I'll be the wine
I'll be there for you, these five words I swear to you
When you breathe, I wanna be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you
I wasn't there when you were happy
And I wasn't there when you were down
Didn't mean to miss your birthday baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out
I'll be there for you, these five words I swear to you
When you breathe, I wanna be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for ...
I'll be there for you, these five words I swear to you
When you breathe, I wanna be the air for you
I'll be there for you I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you...Labels: lyrics

Down With Flu
Arrgghh... I'm sick again!! This time, with the sickening flu bug!! My eyes are getting a little watery and I feel hot too... This is so not the time to get sick!!
Just started revising Econs yesterday, and WOW! I realized I have just understood some stuff like the demand and supply curve, which brought me to think what have I been doing for the past 6 months?!?! And the Physics TYS is damn demoralizing, made me feel as if I have revised NOTHING for the past 3 weeks of the June Holidays...
Went to school early and studied in the library. As usual, I slacked around at times, watching the cloud formation change over the 2 hours. And I continued my journey into discovering more about the NEW subject ECONOMICS. The Econs (non-compulsory) lesson was even funnier, everyone was saying how we would all fail the coming common tests, which is getting even harder to pass as the days go by.
Gosh! Still have so much homework to do!! Wonder how the next 6 days will turn out for me...Labels: school

Bottles
Have you ever felt like a bottle? Or do you even know what is a bottle.
Let me tell you.
Basically, humans are like bottles, empty bottles.
Waiting to be filled up with what we face in life.
Happiness.
Sadness.
Fear.
Anger.
Good Experiences.
Bad Experiences.
Regrets.
Thoughts. ~~Of Future , Present and Past.
Grievances.
Studies.
Crushes.
Relationships. ~~ Friendship. Family. Loved Ones.
And many others...
Right now, I'm quite bottled up. To the brim.
So if I blow my top at you, or if I look/sound moody. Don't bother about me.

Freaking Camera
After yesterday's night photography trip, I was the lucky one to get the freakingly heavy camera.
There was this problem - couldn't focus.
This morning - couldn't hit the shutter and the lcd screen was blinking.
Went out to get battery, the shops nearby didn't sell any.
The uncle told me it was outdated, he even recommended newer models of batteries.
Then there's still 20 more shots to go.
The battery is so freaking expensive.
I have to waste my time and money to find an old freaking battery.
Was quite pissed off earlier with my Econs cos I completely didn't even understand a thing.
Ended up venting by anger on my poor sister.
Sorry.

BBQ
Met up with Joy yesterday at 0900 in Bedok Mac's to study. Chatted on-and-off, and left the place at around 1340 to meet her mom at City Hall interchange. After an endless search for a software, we decided to go to the BBQ early.
We reached Aquarius condominiums and the guards there were quite protective, so it was a while before we could enter the place. Had those squishy-squashy pillow fights, especially those between Joy and Kian Yan, while "Zhu Chi Ren" Johnathan and I were having fun commentating.
Started the BBQ early, lucky we did or else who knows what time it would start. The guys started the fire, the girls went to buy last-minute stuff, while Joy and I sat on and gave occasional help. Good right, seniors what... Kian Yan was the most hardworking, staying at the BBQ pit from start to end, we were saying he must be very "shao", but it went from the meaning of "hot" to "flirtatious". Oops. Some guys also tried to "ice" him, but to no avail.
When the BBQ finally started, there was apprehension towards the food as you could become an unknowing "tester". After eating quite a bit, we went to the poolside table to have those chit-chats, that's where we realized that Joy's sentences were kind of hard to complete, which ended up in many "leng chang's". Haha, many funny things happened over at that table.
Watched TV together before Joy and I left. It was definitely a fun place to be, and I thank those who came for making it such a fun time. Also, there are many sparks seen, not those from the fire, but those between people. Shall not name names but let's see in a few months' time, whether I'm still right or wrong.
Take care, people!Labels: friends

Arghh...
Somebody tell me why am I blogging now, when I should be buried under the piles and piles of textbooks, notes and worksheets?
Tried to study yesterday, but I ended sleeping on top of my notes instead. In the past, I could probably finish that stupid worksheet in a day or less, now I'm getting stupid because I take like 3 days?!?! And I didn't go online, nor did I switch on the radio during my so-called revision. My mom's nagging is beginning to sound like a melody which I don't even bother anymore. The house is so silent, I could even hear a pin drop. In fact, I'm in a very conducive environment (like my mom says), so I guess the problem is ME.
I should really go bang my head against the wall.

Mosaic of Life
Yup, the title of this blog is the theme for this year's Montage 2005, a photography seminar that most of us attended. Was late for 10 minutes++ due to many delays and "shuttle runs". Each seat had those goodie bags and Puay Ling and I started exploring other seats to find those CD-Rs hidden in those goodie bags. That was real cheapskate of me, but if it's free, why not?
The refreshments during the break didn't seem like they were prepared for all the audience and we went back with empty, growling stomachs. I think the most interesting talk was by the photojournalist from Zaobao. Not only was he humorous, he injected life into the topic. The one about the fashion photography was also not bad.
Saw Nicole, looking tanned and braced, at City Hall MRT, one hour late for her meeting. Have not seen her since the release of the O level results, and it reminded me of the fun and laughter we shared last year sitting together.
Well, I guess that's the end of this entry... with two weeks gone in the holidays, how will I survive the next two?

Fun Day
Went shopping today and I must say it was real fulfilling. Bought so much stuff, I could feel the pinch in my wallet (and my heart).
Chanced upon the illustrated version of Angels & Demons, and I took this picture illegally with my mobile phone. It's an ambigram, which means if you flip the diagram 180 degrees, you will still spot the same word. Interesting, right?
Got home and I was quite sleept. Managed to catch forty winks and then went off to meet Tuty and Izzulwan for a jog at the Bedok Reservoir. I think we improved by 1 minute to 34 minutes. We didn't stop at all. Strangely, we all met many familiar faces.
Now, the most sian thing is the photog outing tomorrow, I get very lethargic easily these days and the thought of spending 6 hours out there doing NOTHING is bothering me, because I have lots of things to do and I can also do NOTHING in the comfort of my own home! What to do!!

Hot Weather
Gosh! Look at the sun out there and my eyes hurt! Left for TPJC at around 1300hrs, and I could feel my head spinning.
Not surprisingly, I was one of the earliest there, besides a few enthu people, and we separated into groups of 4++ to shoot pictures about HDB. We did a mini exploration of the Tampines neighbourhood and I must say Tampines does have many birds and playgrounds. Not much people at all, and when there's people, they flee upon sight of the camera. To think the first thing that came to my mind was an Ah Pek digging his nose at the HDB void-deck. How interesting it would be to capture such a private moment.
And surprisingly, we took about two and a half hours for the whole thing, which is like longer than the total hours that photography took for its weekly sessions for the past 4 weeks.
Two weeks of the holiday almost gone and I have not even started revising for Econs!! Shit!! No one can save me!! But I'm not that bothered about it yet, cos I'm waiting for the season finale of Chase!! There goes my UTT!!

Whistle*
Hmm... feel much better now, maybe it's really PMS huh? Haha, but I don't think it's time... whatever...
Went for Math lesson and did my homework in the library for two hours before heading home. I guess it really helped to minimize my workload cos I finished quite a number of sums. Slept almost right after I reached home. When I woke up, I went straight to the computer... Hmm... Slack right?
Tomorrow have Photography CCA, and I don't really look forward to it cos I have to make a trip down for a probably less-than-an-hour session. And there's a seminar on Saturday too. Shucks.
Anyway, to all those who are feeling down, depressed, unhappy or not feeling good, CHEER UP, okies? Try to be optimistic and look on the bright side of life. Easy for me to say, you must be thinking, but it never hurts to try, yeah?

Sighs~
I have no idea why this sense of depression comes to me so often these days. I could be feeling so happy one moment and the next, I could feel the worst within me.
Life suddenly seems to revolve all around work and school. I know that's how a student's life should be but I think they do have another life, right? Even though I go out most of the time, or even stay at home to do things I like, but I still feel that something's missing in my life.
Is it because something's yet to come,
OR have I been avoiding some things?
By the way, Happy Birthday to Wan Yee!!

Multi-Tasking Teen
My head feels heavy. My palms are hot. My lips are cracking even though I drank gallons of water. I wonder what's wrong with me.
Saturday's article about multi-tasking teens has brought me to realize that I'm one of them. Even though it seems great that we're all turning into octopuses (many limbs) and houseflies (many eyes), I thought that's why I'm unable to concentrate fully on my studies. Everytime I start my homework, I turn on the radio. And when I turn off the radio to concentrate better, I just can't. Kind of relying on radiowaves to study huh?
I went on to watch Boys And Girls on Channel 5. An interesting movie, about how this boy and girl who couldn't get along for the whole seven years of their lives, and became best buddies and a couple in the end. Something the lead actress said rang in my ears, "We do not even know who we really are, how do we know who's THE ONE when he/she comes by... ". I know now's not the time to think about who's THE ONE etc., but I guess no matter how busy you are, your mind drifts away to Neverland and start imagining things that you think you have no time for.
Watched Madagascar today with Wan Yee, Hei Wai and Izzulwan. Gave it 3 out of 5 stars. So much hype about it yet not much substance about the real thing. Haiz.
And now, I'm thinking of what Utt said in Chase's season finale part I - "I'll wait another ten years."
Sad.Labels: movies

Similarities
Went out today, and I met Qifan at TM and Century Square thrice!! Kind of bored at home, even though I have loads of Econs that are still resting nicely in a pile over on my table, I seem to be admiring the dust on top. Maybe I should have gone back to school to study, but the thought of going back to school wasn't that welcoming at all.
Thought about a lot of nonsense at home and I've come to realize that people who are born on the same day share many similarities. Maybe I'm kind of slow in recognizing such things, but it was just today that I realized the many similarities between them. Not gonna mention names, but WOW, the way they behave are so alike. God, I'm such a freak.
Anyway, currently, I'm kind of hooked to the song on Madagascar, and it goes "I like to move it move it, You like to.... MOVE IT!" Haha, and now my sister and I are imitating the bad penguins ( "You didn't see anything" ). Hmm... really look forward to watch the movie on Monday, 6 June 2005, with Wan Yee... and here comes the question :
Who wants to join US? Anybody can!! Haha, please message me if you're going, ok? Thanks a lot.
Meanwhile, I will try not to slack at home now, gonna be part-time chiongster. Blah.

Slack Day
Had a pretty slack day today. Wanted to study physics but I kept napping in between. Gosh! The holiday is starting to get shorter!
Went to meet Izzulwan and Joseph, intending to take pictures at the reservoir and probably for them, to do some fitness activities. But I met Syafiq and Afzal who were having the Robotics Camp in school. Chatted till Joseph and Izzulwan came. We walked till the fitness park at the reservoir but the guys (as usual) were kind of shy displaying their "prowess" in front of those middle-aged ah peks. Haha, then we walked back and went to Bedok Town Park where the same thing happened again. Guys....
Got home at 7 plus, and "due to certain circumstances, the outing tomorrow has been cancelled", the photography overnight outing has been cancelled! Which means... I can watch Utt on Chase in this Part I of the season finale. Ciao, guys!
