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.

math trail.
day 2 of learning festival! kicked off with basketball clinic.. some pretty boring drills at the start. first drill was layup and i missed my very first layup HA. so loser.
Then we did some bo liao bouncing things then do left hand layup and i scored a few. omg there's this super super extra J1 he keeps going like 'yes, try to jump higher abit. ' 'ok raise ur hand higher' 'your left leg has to go up first' and makes alot of stupid comments for just about everyone?
well i know i'm not the best of basketball players but i know i was doing the layup like probably on par or even better than him (saw him attempt lefthand later) and he just goes on and on. apparently everyone says he's extra (pewi told me)
after that we played match! 3v3. quite fun though i missed quite a few lan-di cos the school rim is SO much higher than our church. Played quite well made some nice assists :p
And.. my team thrashed the j1 basketball team (not the first team, just 3 players from there) 7-2. haha. losers. then one guy goes 'oh i was so relaxed just now ill play serious now'.. yknow the typical badloser remark . then they ask us play till 11.. they pulled back to 7-5 then we had to stop cos the other court wanted to play with us.
ok so after basketball clinic was math trail!! basically.. math competition where first prize is 2gb MP3 player worth $99.
It's like.. 5 stations where you go to solve puzzles. Then you have this separate puzzle sheet which you can solve on the go... like got 5-6 puzzles in it. I solved the sudoku one damn fast.. it was quite easy. Then there was 'Einstein's puzzle' which i solved too :p didn't solve it like that website suggests, i filled up what i could then guess-and-checked the rest.
Ask me if you wanna know what the stations were like, i'm lazy to type out and i dont think anyone will be interested either.
(omg ok i just did a random search for one of the puzzles in math trail [damn i got it wrong!] and i came across a super chim puzzle. The Hardest Logic Puzzle Ever)
and i just finished A History of Violence.. omg it's a super super super boring show. i dont even wanna tell you about it because.. it ruins the show and it's damn boring. damn damn boring. just see the main character killing people very skifully. Like 1v3 he also kill. haha. Not the Bruce Lee Jackie Chan way.. those people only make the person fall down.. this guy KILLS them straight away.
Think smash windpipe, break neck, etc.
Super boring show, very slow-moving, boring boring.
AND finally, i've been practising card spinning. :) i'm not very good at it yet.. here's a video. just watch the first 20 seconds, the rest is lousier. (er that's my mom nagging somewhere in the middle of the video)
