The day that happens only once in 4 years.

Today is 29 Feb 2008.. Interesting day, this year is a leap year so there's an extra day in Feb. What's this extra day for? It's used to regulate the year. In our calendar there's 365 days, that is SUPPOSED to be the time taken for Earth to rotate around the SUN. It's not EXACTLY 365 days but for ease of calculations, ancient ppl rounded it off. SO, to prevent the days from getting TOO haywire, they added an extra day to offset the miscalculations. There you have it... Lesson for the day...

Now back to myself...

This week is my mid-term break.. supposed to do catching up and speeding up of projects one.. but somehow, NOTHING was done.. I'm quite demoralised by the fact that my groupmates arent really responsive about projects.. is it me?? or are they just not bothered?? I've done wat i could already, it's up to them to take the next step... I'll try to spend the weekend catching up on my own work. So boring...

Slightly more exciting is the start of my coaching theory course.. My class was HUGE... 100++ people, coaches from many different sport.. unfortunately i have made any acquaintance yet.. well.. there's still 8 more lessons to go.. Lessons for this course are quite fun, the speakers are pretty interesting.. What they say makes total sense...

Movie of the Week

1. Juno

Interesting show.. Witty speech.. realistic actors... Funny... And very real...

CNY is long over

CNY is long over already, or rather the holidays are over. back in school for 2 weeks already.. and this week i'm having 2 tests.. both from my CE modules... did one yesterday already.. think i kindda messed that one up.. but i think i might have learnt abit of how to do it during the test.. haha.. it's not open book..

2nd test on thurs.. water resource engineering.. i think i can do well in that.. but whenever i think i can do well i will not... so i also dunno what to expect.. just follow the flow i guess.

last saturday, did an idea presentation for my Techno Marketing module... although my groupmates said we did ok.. i felt we did quite badly.. technical problems... my laptop wouldnt work again.. which is shitty, cos it seems my laptop always gives problem during presentations.. there must be a problem... besides that.. the presentation not very well done.. cos only done on friday.. quite shabbily.. and i cant help think i seem to be the only one in this idea...

let's talk about movies!!!

watched 3 movies since CNY

1. Kungfu Dunk

another jay chou movie on the market.. i think he's quickly gaining popularity in the movies as well... BUT... i think supporters of his movies need to be fans of him in the first place.. that's the only way you will enjoy his movies.. cos.. his movie characters always seem to be portraying himself... always seem to be amplifying his inner desires... hahaa.. rather ego actually.. but nonetheless entertaining... but this show itself failed in one aspect, it's TOO much like Kungfu Hustle...

(score = 3.5 of 5*)

2. CJ 7

A much anticipated movie by acclaimed comedian stephen chow.. perhaps cos there was too much anticipation, the results werent amazing... the expected funny parts were damn funny... but it din really create impacts like Shaolin Soccer or Kungfu Hustle. But the idea is refreshing, however the plot is quite weak.. and the ending was quite lousy too.. not very intrigueing...

(score = 3.5 of 5*)

3. Jumpers

this is a very interesting show.. new idea i think... people who have the ability to teleport.. and they have their natural predators... interesting... and i expect there to be sequels to this show... just think it's really cool to be them...

1st Break of the year

it's week 4 of the semester, and it's CNY week... a much welcome break to the busy schedule... but i wonder it i can keep up the pace of doing things after this break.. i've been trying to keep up with the class speed but past few lessons i've been slowing down overall.. i can feel that i'm starting to lag here and there.. I just hope i can catch up during this break and catch up with speed... it's damn hard to keep the engine running... !!!!

Dear fell sick on monday.. damn scared she cannot enjoy her CNY.. it seems like she has loads of stuff to help out... so she basically doesnt have much time to rest.. so kelian... REST REST!!! Stop kpoing around e house!!
