yippee i found hannibal and red dragon in the school library! they have silence of the lambs too but it's on loan atm, must wait for whoever borrowed to return. come on hurry up!
i just read half of Red Dragon.. pretty intriguing. They still haven't solved anything.. and the character of Dr Hannibal Lector is still.. not very clear yet. The short scene with him talking to the detective was nice though, showed his personality quite clearly which i could recognize from the show too. :)
he's so.. unique. It's like.. there's this page which talks about him when he was about to take a chest xray or sth like that, his pulse was monitored. Then suddenly he grabbed the nurse's head and pulled out her tongue (!!! lol yes) . He was quickly subdued by the other attendants. The startling thing - his pulse rate BARELY rose.
scary isn't it? A scene in hannibal rising also had Hannibal take a lie detector test.. he lied about knowing about a murder pretty comfortably. Pretty freaky! he is so COOL and CALM about killing and lying. :S
~~~
having physics mock test paper 3 tmr, studied a little but got tired after awhile. read till my eyes kept blurring and gave up.
It's such a long run. 4 weeks to prelims. then another 1month + to A levels. And A levels itself stretches for almost a month :S
can i maintain the study mood? can i keep going?
i'm so tired.

the dawn of a new era
hmm ok i just finished all the movies transferred over.. can study in peace noW!
ok quick review on the remaining ones which i havent reviewed:
Date movie - lol this is damn funny if you like spoofs. spoofed a ton of shows, including sweet home alabama and Hitch.
Napoleon Dynamite - i got bored after 10 minutes -_- didnt see any plot coming and it was just.. ouch to watch.
Fun With Dick and Jane - mmm.. i dunno i think it should be funny but i stopped after about 30 minutes because i wasnt very interested and was kinda sick when watching.
Hollow Man2 : so-so thriller movie. nothing spectacular.
Jump In! : one of those feel-good movies. Produced by Disney waddya expect :p about this guy who joins a jump-rope team.. and gets ridiculed at first cos it's like a girl sport. But.. quite cool la songs quite nice and the jumprope thing is damn cool.
(main actor is the afro hair guy from High School Musical)
The Devil Wears Prada: i like! very nice show about a girl who becomes the assistant of the boss
of one of the top fashion magazines in the world. a must-watch !
Hannibal Rising: wow not what i expected.. i expected some gory flick with no real plot like TexasChainsawMassacre.. but it's really good! Really good suspense/thriller movie , gore level alot toned down compared to TCM, though of course it will make you squirm a little.
I didn't really know what the Hannibal series was about, and after watching this i really wanna watch the rest or at least read the book 'Silence of the Lambs'! anyone have?
The plot is like.. young Hannibal Lector (around.. 10 years old?) and his little sister (5?) were hiding in their house after their parents were killed in some air raid during WWII. Then the Nazis (or french?) barged into their house and chained them up. Then due to some reasons they couldnt leave and had to hide out in the house, and soon the bad guys were starving.. so they took his sister, killed her and ate her. >.<
So when Hannibal grows up .. he sets out to hunt for these Nazi people who killed his sister in the past. =)
I wanan watch the previous Hannibal series!! who have!?!
~~~~~~~~~~~
pfft, im sick again. well, almost. felt feverish for most of today.. hope it will go away after a night's rest. Have a stupid cold though cos of the weather. cold cold hot cold cold hot wth man.
gnite .

i am gonna pwn u
hm, wat a fruitful day.
went to suntec convention centre today for an exhibition on scholarships/uni options, as well as a seminar which consisted of 4 parts - forum by 5 (6?) local scholars, talk on US , UK university options, and finally a motivational talk by David Tan of Everest Motivation Centre.
Took alot of brochures and stuff from the exhibition.. quite interesting. i think i more or less i'm gonna do psychology? or something to do with arts and social sciences.
I initially had either that or engineering in mind. Engineering seems like the natural and logical path for me to take, given im taking physicschemmaths in JC now. But after thinking for some time.. i realised i have almost no interest in engineering! and i dont wanna spend my life doing something i don't like.
However, i do like to study people and see why they behave in the way they do. Predicting their next move, guessing their thoughts and emotions. It's pretty fun.
So.. maybe ill follow gabs and do arts&socialscience in NUS? haha i dunno man.
The most interesting part of the day was the motivational talk by the David guy. he was the captain of the first SG Mt Everest team.. and he talked about overcoming adversity and setting 'crystal clear goals' so that we have something to work towards.
Another phrase he kept repeating was 'Specific Observable Behaviour', which meant if really wanted something, our everyday behaviour should reflect that.
Was quite motivated after it and it really made me think - what do i want to do after NS? How am i going to work towards that? Am i going to get a scholarship? how? What am i going to do after the 4-year-bond if i got the scholarship? How am i going to perform at the interview.
Thoughts were racing through my head as i waited for freaking 20 minutes for the stupid bus to come to fetch me home. And the journey was long too, should have taken MRT :/
Yea so .. the important thing is to set crystal clear goals. How am i going to get scholarship? do well of course. Straight As! must must!
So i have to start working hard NOW. Prelims in 4 weeks, A levels in 2 months. (or 3?) must must work hard gogo.
First commitment -> start daily gaming/comp session at 8pm instead of 7pm.
Usually my brain shuts down after 7pm and all i can think of is computer because i already developed that habit. So .. i'm going to change that. One extra hour of study every day = 7 hours more a week! wow. that's like so much more that i can cover!
I'm going to take out all my notes and stuff and lay it out just like when i was studying for BT2. Preparation is the key to success.
Yes yes im going to be a top scorer in my As. I'm going to get the best scholarship for whatever course i'm taking. I'm going to get a good job.
i am gonna pwn you.
and i am going to win your heart too.
