Everybody was kungfu fightingThat was us with, errm..Kungfu panda? (lol I don't even know its name!)
Major booo at my terribly failed attempt at inserting a relevant picture to start off the post. ANYWAY..Yes!! KUNGFU PANDA 2 is coming out this week and I CAN'T WAIT! I don't care if I sound like a 5 yrs old kid but I really enjoyed the first movie and hopefully the sequel will be as good, or even better..but honestly, most sequels are disappointing :( definitely bringing my sister to watch though!
Accepted a job with wc which lasted for 5 days (and i totally regretted taking it up) and it only involves planting urself at hotel lobbies while ushering non-existent hotel guests (ok maybe I'm exaggerating..but the turn up was really pathetic lol) up shuttle buses which took them to suntec. Since suntec was only a 5-10 min walk from their hotels, many of them made the choice to walk there instead and that explains the redundant shuttle buses lol.
The only (relatively) fun part (compared to what we were doing all along) was on Wednesday night when we headed down to Sentosa.
And this was what we did! Kinda. But it turned out to be a complete failure because it was against the law to release things/stuffs into the air. Hence as an alternative, they decided that tying the lanterns down to the ground would be a good idea. Well, apparently not. While the lanterns were trying to fly/float/rise/whatever, the strings got tangled together and you can pretty much imagine what happened next hahaha. Only a fortunate few managed to escape but they still met their unfortunate end when they burned out.
Despite feeling extremely worn out after work, I met up with the girls and it was a really bad choice because I only caught an hr of sleep at Sher's place and that made me feel like a zombie during work the next morning. Anyway what happened on that night shall remain unspeakable..
As for now, I just started work at Tangs Orchard today (come visit hahaha) and it was really boring and excruciating because I had to stand all the way..and this is gna carry on for approximately 3 weeks (rahhhhh) before the trip with my family- can't wait! :) Mummy's already digging out all of our coats in preparation for the trip, excited much! Hopefully the weather over there will be kind to us!
CAN'T WAIT TO ESCAPE FROM THIS TINY OVENLIKE ISLAND!
ABRUPT DIGRESSION:This (me buying a book) is actually really rare because I would rather borrow books from the library (but often leading to me paying overdue fines opps). But because I only had to pay $9 (used a gift card that WC gave me ages ago, thanks love!), I decided to get it. Was deciding between this or Mini Shopaholic but I ended up with this because it was cheaper LOL!
Another abrupt digression:OMGGGG THIS IS REALLY RANDOM BUT I JUST REALISED THAT RESULTS ARE COMING OUT IN 6 MORE DAYS AND I REALLY DON'T WANNA FIND OUT (how badly) I DID :((
Mr NobodyAfter 2 extremely grueling weeks, it's finally my turn to say this:
I'M FREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Not gonna be a nag and bore you guys with my rants, so YAY :))
But firstly, I have a teeny-weeny (sorta) confession to make =x
Well, I kinda did smthg that was exam suicidal. On the night before my last paper, I took a break from mugging and watched Thriller Live at MBS with Weichong. I know anyone who reads this will think that I'm crazy (I mean, who on earth would watch a concert on the night right before their last paper) but the tickets were complimentary and WE COULDN'T MISS IT! I was constantly assuring wc that I'll mug super hard before that (which I did, from 9-6 at T3's Coffeebean and that was when I met the
random hot angmoh guy LOL) and the mugging was so worthwhile because IT WAS AWESOME! Pity I didn't know all of MJ's songs because they performed a lot of his songs! But overall it was really an experience that I would not regret (though I'm super guilty for slacking the night away when I was supposed to be mugging).
Anyhowsss, Hooray to the King of Pop! :))
ABRUPT END.My brother has been bugging me to watch this movie
Mr Nobody since even before my exams started and so a few days ago, I finally took some time off and watched it. And (as cliche as it may sound),
it blew my mind away.
This was nothing like any movie that I've watched. I'm really impressed by the fact that the entire concept of the movie was based on one extremely simple concept, yet they made it a film that was seemingly perplexing.
For a normal film, it's either you know what's happening from the start or the storyline unfolds itself throughout the movie. BUT what makes Mr Nobody different from other films is that you will only know what's happening right when the movie is about to end. The fact that the realization hits you right in the face at the very end- that is what makes it incredibly unique. Throughout the film, I was feeling totally baffled by what was happening and kept on thinking to myself:
wth is going on, am I stupid or what? But I got assured by my brother who told me that it was normal to think that way.
One huge factor which made the show even more amazing than it already was, is the cinematography. The entire film was so incredibly beautiful to watch and there were some scenes that were just breathtaking. It was a complete contrast from all the blockbuster films that I've watched thus far and it was a good one. Honestly, there are too many films out there with all the action, graphics and 3D, ie, 'blockbuster ingredients' and it was time to take a break from all those. I have huge respect for the director/writer and the entire movie crew for making Mr Nobody such a great and memorable film without the use of typical 'blockbuster ingredients' because at times, they are overrated. No offense to all blockbuster films lovers out there- I'm guilty of watching them myself =xAnd the music was equally beautiful. Enough said.
Am listening to this while typing, ain't it beautiful?
I can't stop raving on about how beautiful this movie is. It really makes you think about life. Which path to take, how would it affect you?
"Each of these lives is the right one! Every path is the right path. Everything could have been everything else and it will have just as much meaning. "

What I'm about to say next might spoil the movie for some of those who might get it but I'm gonna be irritating (hahahaha) and say it anyway so please ignore if you intend to watch it:
Imagination knows no boundaries.
"You can’t hide from the truth
because the truth is all there is."
My way of summing up the
4 out of 5 papers that I've taken so far :(
