Twilight

I bet a million other people have this as their blog title, and another million people have plastered this image on their blogs/diaries/livejournels etc. However I feel that my experience at this movie was a one in a million because this was the first time in my entire life that my stomach was knotted and queasy throughout 0.665 the movie. Not in a bad bad way though, it was just that I was caught by surprise by the storyline!

Ok, unknown to many (myself in cluded), I was actually practically clueless about the storyline and plot of Twilight. Initially when Shiyun mentioned it, I thought it was some remake of the classic Twilight Zone (you know scary music, ne ne ne ne, ne ne ne ne) Haha.. Then she enlightened me that it was a love story between a vampire and a human, (which to me was kinda funny since its like, a love story between a human and a piece of steak)

And knowing that it was more of a bimbo show for us girls to swoon at Mr Blood-Sucker, I envisioned something along the lines of Wild Child, but with less pink, blond and light.

Boy was I wrong.

It felt as if I had stepped into a roller coaster thinking it was a kiddy ride and coming to realise that there are a gazillion monstrous slopes and loop-the-loops. Plus Cathay took the initiative to make the movie experience a 4D experience by turning the airconditioning to sub-zero so that we could feel in the movie. Wah piang wey. The music so scary and the tension was beyond what I expected for a teenage-y chic-flick!

For those who havent watched it, I've concluded that if you have read the book, you'd probably say it was disappointing blah blah blah. But if you have not read the book, don't read it, watch the movie and then read it. (maximising entertainment value this way mah)

Happy New Year!

Holiday Season!!

Tis the season to be Jolly... and tired, and over-fed, and squished around with the 1 quarter foreign, 4 million Singaporeans.

It's Christmas Day and I haven't posted in AGES!!! It's season where suddenly every tertiary student is free because of his or her holidays, and how every (almost) one studying in Australia is back for their school holidays but somehow seem to disappear into the Christmas festive season of food shopping and partying. ( I miss dhab!!) this year I baked, and baked and busied myself like a Martha Stewart. (Oh my dream... poooi.) EVERYONE gets cookies this year because I refuse to buy overpriced trinkets and hiked up toiletries and over-recieved chocolates to people because people appreciate things only when there's a lack of them, so I shall wait for much much later (after the christmas season) to give out any presents( should I decide to buy any) so that they will be more appreciated and their value will hence go up. =) Understand? I'm blabbering. haha.

I just spent the entire of last week in church even though the annual church camp is only suppose to last 3 days. IT LASTED FOREVER I TELL YOU. Not that I didn't enjoy myself though because the kids from Kuantan came down. Basically, Kuantan people are ANGELS!!! The kids were Hilariously spontaneous and adorable as usual! Chio got herself a new Kuantan boyfriend too! Apart from the fact that the very intelligent games people planned an 'amazing race' in East Coast Park which spanned 4.8 Km and required 7.2Km of running/walking/stumblimg/cycling/blading/rolling, it was pretty fun. 7.2km leh!!! I've never seen that number in my life!!!

And if you guys aren't cheery and all and overflowing with the christmas mood, here's a photo to make you Happy~~@!

Chio and teh Rubiks Tube which she intitally gave to me but ended up giving her boyfriend :D

Homesick

I felt homesick that day.

How am I going to survive overseas!

There are 2 types of Singaporeans, the adaptable ones and the overlocalised ones who can't be bothered to assimilate but instead, bring their culture over and impose this on others. It's an overgeneralisation/sweeping statement of course, but if we don't catogerise and generalise, how would Man observe trends and be able to predict certain behaviour? Verbal diarrhoea, Oops.

Anyways meeting Ping, Fei and Jerome yesterday was hellova fun, it was the most fun since I met Nat's funny friends from her clique called the BSG (Black Sheep Gang) ((Long story, don't ask me.) Ping and Jerome are the most adorable couple you'd ever meet. Period. And they're freaking funny when they 'brag' about each other's gross habits. They're the kind of people you want at your party to bring the life out of everyone. (Perhaps the 2 of you can render your 'hype-services' to boring people parties to make marniee!!")

And for all of you who haven't watched Monty Python, this is my all time favourite favourite video~ a must see for all.

And Nat! Laugh yourself silly ok?? (Watch the other videos for more comic relief)

Technological Overload!!

Over the weekend I've made the 3 hugest purchases of my adolescent life with my own marniee. As you guys know my phone got lost in good ole' Kuantan, and unable to forget the memory of the one which was once so close to my heart (more like my head when I slept so that I could hear the alarm), I got the next sony ericsson phone which was most similar to the K800i. Not many regrets... yet. (But I forsee plenty of potential weak areas.) Cons don't change phone! Our phone really was Sony's best Cybershot phone ever.
All righties, moving on! I'm glad I finally got my laptop because I was afraid I would procrastinate so much that I would miss the Sytex fair! Wellll... I don't exactly regret my buy save for the fact that I feel that I got cheated of my RAM. I vaguely remembered that she offered to upgrade my ram, however it wasn't upgraded when I checked. However the reciept doesn't say anything about the upgrade and I bought my laptop after Nat and I had been walking for HOURS due to my fickleness and kanchiongness.

The third buy was the only buy where I felt a tinge of regret.

I blame the powerfully persuasive salesman and my sucker-ness. All you business students should meet him and learn from the sales guru. HAHA.

I watched Sesame Street with my sister this morning! It wasn't as nostalgic as the Disney cartoons Aladdin and all, but still fun to see the same actors who have been acting for decades. Plus that furry red monster who keeps refering to himself in third person. (I swear Elmo is Siyi's secret idol=P) There was a segment where Mary's little lamb was doing animal impressions and all the other furry monster classmates were suppose to figure out what those obvious animal sounds were. My sister failed miserably and guessed 0 of the 3 animal sounds. (She kept guessing sheep when it was a lamb making impressions of a cow, pig and chicken)

haha.

Gotta tell me how to get, how to gate to se-sa-me-street!!!!!!!!!1
