Whew... Just came back from a 7 hours group discussion. We met at 9am at the library to discuss our debate speech. Hehe, actually the discussions were only 2-3 hours max. The rest of the time were spent chatting, taking videos, and even playing hangman. But don't say we never do work or not productive. Cos, we came up with lots of ideas and even thought of what the opposition team might say, and come up with our rebuttal... Cheers to our team!!! We will win the debate. Wahahaha
I must either be too free or too bored, cos I just finished watching another movie today, which is Ratatouille. It tells the story of Rémy, a rat living in Paris who wants to be a chef. The movie is not bad, but it is not one of the better pixar movie to date. Therefore, I will rate Ratatouille êêê
Just watched Rush Hour 3 on my laptop, which was a poorly film-in-the-cinema video. This 3rd series is not bad, retaining all the slap stick comedy by Chris Tucker, and the usual fight scenes by Jackie Chan. This 3rd Rush Hour brings us to Paris, to stop some big triad organisation. The flow of the story is similar to the first 2, which I can say is neither good nor bad. Overall, a rather nice and funny to watch. I would give Rush Hour 3 êêêê
I just finished watching The Butterfly Effect. The movie a reference to the butterfly effect, which theorises that something seemingly innocuous, such as a butterfly's wings, may be the catalyst for something larger, such as a tornado.
Evan Treborn (Ashton Kutcher), who suffered severe traumas as a boy, copes with the pain by blacking out at moments of high stress. While searching for an answer to heal his emotional wounds, he finds that when he reads from his adolescent journals, he travels back in time, and is able to essentially "redo" parts of his past. There are consequences of his choices, however, that he then propagates back to the present; his alternate futures vary from frat boy to prisoner to amputee. As he continues to do this, he realizes that even though his intentions are good, the actions he takes always have unintended consequences. In addition, he needs to go further back in time after every attempt as several fatal mistakes he makes do something to wipe out that and all subsequent journal entries.
What we can learn from this movie is that any small thing we do in the present, might have a huge or adverse effect on us and other in the future.
Since I have been tagged by Eliza and Jess, I shall take some time off from the stupid essays and do the 10 wierd things/habits.
10 weird things/habits about me
Each player of this game starts off with ten weird things or habits or little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged must write in a blog of their own ten weird things or habits or little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you must choose six people to be tagged and list their names. No tag backs!
1. I absoutely cannot study/do work/read/write something with music on. The music seem to affect my concentration.
2. I have a single eyelid on my right eye and a double eyelid on my left eye.
3. I have different handwriting styles.
4. I am a super big Harry Potter fan. I have 2 wands, the time-turner, posters, movie premier booklets, film strips, postcards and tons of others stuff in my collection.
5. I like to roam around in Orchard Road alone, going to Kinokuniya to read books and magazines.
6. I simply hate, detest, loathe, dislike the taste of parsley.
7. My room is always neat and tidy... Except for my bed, because I don't fold my blanket. (You will still need to use it at night, so why fold it)
8. When I stretch both of my arms to the fullest, my left arm to the finger tips is about 3cm longer than my right.
9. In Singapore, I always go to sleep and wake up from the right (facing the bed) side of the bed.
Finally!!! so hard to think of 10 wierd things/habits
10. I have more close female friends than male friends. (Must be due to my diploma and degree - Business Management and Internation Hotel and Tourism Management)
Ok.. I will follow what Eliza did. Anyone who read this post is tagged. If you have a blog, you better do this 10 wierd things/habits.
Went to the Ekka again today, and I remembered to bring my camera. So, there will be more pictures available. The weather wasn't very good today, with drizzle on and off. The routine was somewhat similar compared to Saturday, only that we played games at the game stalls. Didn't went on any rides this time. Ah, I don't wanna bore you with my rambling, so I will just let the pictures do the work.

Various dogs at the dog show
At the animal petting section
Yamaha motocross stun-show
Fireworks!!! Whew!! Just came back from Ekka. Ida, Grace, Grace's mum and I set off from college at 11.30am and we arrived at Ekka at ard 12.15pm. We started off by just roaming the place, and also deciding on what ride(s) to take. Headed to the showbag area so as to escape the scorching sun. We went to a dog show, animal petting area, circus, and even caught performances of horse chariots racing, bull riding, motocross stunt show and the final highlight of the day, the fireworks!! Didn't manage to take any pictures of the fireworks cos I did not bring my camera. Took all these pictures with my camera phone. Shall try to take firework pictures when I go again next wednesday. (:
Week 2 have officially passed, and now I am one more week closer to exams :p This had been a rather quiet week for me; just going to uni for classes, going for my tennis lesson and bumming around in my room. Weather have been eccentric too. Was hot at the beginning of the week, then all of the sudden, became cold again. Gone were the days where I can go to uni in t-shirt, berms and slippers. LOL.
Managed to finish 1 major essay 2 weeks in advance. At least for now, I have one less burden to bear.
Ekka is coming. It is a hugh annual carnival, with rides, game stores, performances, animal shows, etc... Basically, just a fun day for everyone... And...... I am going this Saturday!! Shall post the pictures if I take any. Heeeee
Went out with Ida to Chinatown where we both got some korean instant noodles (I know I shouldn't be eating those, but they really taste nice :p). Headed to Southbank, where we caught The Simpsons Movie. Was on the citycat, and the clouds were so pretty, so I whipped out my phone and took a couple of pictures. There was also this homeless man squating outside the cinema selling marshmallow for $1 each. Bought 1 from him, and we even pose for pictures with it.. LOL
About the movie... It was quite highly anticipated, and there were messages being portrayed in the movie. The scenes were all funny and we both had a good laugh.. Hail to the Spiderpig and Harry Plopper!! I would give the movie êêêê
And now.... I should really get back to my readings... Haven't been really studying much... Feeling abit guilty.. :p And first 2 assignments due in 2 weeks time.. God.. Give me more time and wisdom!!
