Visitor from Finland

Today i had a mini gathering with a bunch of friends from YNP. But most imptly one of our fren from Finland is here in Singapore for exchange. And we are meeting up to bring her around. Kindda explored the Cityhall Suntec area today. There's just so much to show her, dun really know where or how to start. It's amazing how much u can show a fren from overseas, we ourselves are always finding it hard to find something new to do. hahaa..

Love the contradictions

Exams!

And now the end is near, and so i face the final curtain.

Yes exams are here! had my first paper today, I've answered the questions to the best I can. aka, the max of my crapping power. So this is it, exams have begun, 1 paper down, just 3 more to go.. 1 more report, and also work on FYP project.. seems like the semester is no where near an end.. well that's final year..

Swimming!!

I went for a swim just now in the pool at my place. I felt okay.. couldnt swim well cos my breathing is kindda haywire and messy. the chlorine is really making my hair stiff!! but it's alrite, less stress on my ankles is a good thing.

my dear is getting old.. haha!

It's dear's birthday. But not much was done today. more of the fun was actually done yesterday. we went to an indian restaurant over at siglap, with her sisters. the food was not bad, the place was quite nice. and the staff were frenly b4 they got too busy.. haha.. lack of capacity..

I kindda surprised her with a birthday cake.. I brought it to the restaurant earlier in the day.. she tot there was no cake, no present. So yah that part surprised her.

Handsome Suit

Ever hate yourself for being fat and ugly? This is a movie to help you live with yourself. Because the truth is not always wat it seems and a person's beauty is only part of a person, it's not all that person is.

The story revolves around an ugly person who has suffered with his looks for most of his life and is eager to search for a change. Handsome Suit is his saviour or is it??

I like the twist at the end of the movie, even though I was expecting it from the beginning. HAHA!!

7 out of 10, it serves it's full purpose as a comedy and teaches some good moral lessons, that's if you are ever going to pay attention to them.

The Gran Torino

I have not been a fan of clint eastwood, none of his previous shows did anything to attract me to the theatre. even this time when i watched it, it was totally cos i already watched everything else I wanna watch.

But I was glad I did, this was a good show. the acting was great. I just realised the asian actors in the show are 1st timers. kudos to them. The simplest way to tell I enjoyed the show is to actually feel affected by it. You would feel for the plight of the asians, the anger felt by the characters, the sadness.. it take alot to bring those connections thru.

The story revolves around a retired korean war veteran who worked in aford factory until retirement. He is a troubled man, troubled not only abt himself but almost everything around him. and yet somehow his neighbours who are the most unlikely candidates starts to change the remainder of his life.

8/10

The beginning of the end

it's the time of the semester when final presentations, reports, exams are just around the corner. I just completed 2 presentations today and that pretty much ends these 2 modules except for the final exams.. this reallyt akes a load of my shoulders, and yet when I turn around I see more deadlines lying ahead of me. Assignments and reports due within the next few days.. so there's more rushing to do.. I gotta keep the momentum going.

Last week I started my "jogging" regime, 1st session was monday, den somehow missed wed & fri. Supposed to go again today, but i'm simply to lethargic to even try. and my ankle, is giving me issues again. SUCKs!!

Knowing

I've been wanting to watch this show. It seems like it's exciting and kindda like a mix of "da vinci code" plus "next".. but watching this show I cant help but to wonder more abt why this movie was made this way rather than watching the movie itself. I started micro-analysing towards the end of the show and it seems every small detail in this movies is well taken care off to represent or mean something.

it is never said in the clear, but references and implications are inferred thru-out the show. and i think that amazes me.. and i started to wonder if that's what made it the US box office hit that it is.

It's kindda like a mockery of science and the glorifying of christianity. i shalt not say more, for more is less to enjoy..


I would give it a 7 of 10. cos I enjoyed watching it or analysing it.
