AVATAR 3D

I finally watched Avatar 3D! Watched it with my cousin and my auntie at 2pm, 31 Dec 2009.
A perfect way to end the year :)

Storyline: Was quite typical. These group of scientists and army guys are trying to get a precious stone, located at Pendora(not sure of spelling), that is selling for a high price. The problem is that the Nomads (the blue-skinned people) are occupying that area and they refuse to let the humans get what they want. Thus, the humans send Jake, who is wheelchair bound, to interact and find out about the Nomads. Jake is ecstatic that he is able to run in his avatar - a Nomad's body mixed with human DNA. Soon after entering the Nomads' world, Jake fell in love with a female Nomad who taught him everything that he needed to know about the tribe. Then, the humans could wait no longer. They infiltrated the tribe's place and destroyed their sacred tree. Jake then decides to help the Nomads and turn against his own kind.

Verdict: A touching story about love, betrayal, trust and freedom. Great visual effects and the Nomads' expressions were flawless. Great music that complemented well with the movie. I had my heart thumping while looking at the action before me and listening to the nerve-wrecking music. Though, there ARE some portholes - I keep finding these these days. Regarding the fact that Jake changed 'birds/dragons' or 'airlines', what happened to his previous one? I have always wanted to find out. Hmm... that remains a mystery.

Rating: 4/5
A must-watch! :D


~wanting to watch Sherlock Holmes now

movie

I am gonna watch Avatar 3D later. So yeah. I am wearing my contacts now. Hopefully, there would still be seat to watch Avatar! Haiz. Cuz when i checked jus now, there were like only 3 rows left. Haiz. LOLS.

Having to wear contacts is irritating. So there had better be seats for us!!!!! haha.

bored

I am kinda bored now. Sighs. I have set up a twitter account... And then, nothing. Sigh~
It has been kinda boring this days. RC seems boring already. And I am gonna read "To Kill a Mockingbird" which is most probably gonna put me to sleep.
So, I had an idea to write a short story. Since I haven't really written one for so long since I stopped that one story...
I had an urge to write a tragedy story. heehee. XP

---

I looked up to the vast blue sky. I caught a glimpse of a rainbow before it disappear. It had been raining a few minutes before. Taking a deep breath, I looked down. A view of the city and its people made my stomach lurch. However, it wasn't long before I calmed myself down. I had to overcome this fear if I was going to jump. Yes, indeed. I am now on top of a 20-storey building. With a fantastic view below me and a glimpse of a colourful rainbow, I should be exhilarated, except for the fact that I was not here to take a breather. You see, my lover had just been murdered. She had been murdered by her most trusted friend, Diane.

On that fateful night, I was with my lover. We were snuggling together to watch a movie that we had rented. Snacking on chips and drinking soda, it was the best night that I could imagine. Nobody else was there but my lover and I. Then, my lover said that she had forgotten to go take out the trash. I argued with her that we could still do that tomorrow. She grumbled that by then, it would have been stinky. I should have stopped her. I should have just stopped her by force and refused to let her go. But I did not. I let her go. The next moment, I heard a shrill scream that belonged to my lover. I ran out as fast as I could. I managed to see who the culprit was before she ran away. I rushed to my lover and saw that she had cuts all over her. She was stabbed in the stomach too. She was bleeding profusely. I was frightened and shivered. It took me all of my psychological strength to move from that spot and call the ambulance and police.

Investigations continued and Diane was sentenced to a life of imprisonment. I thought, "What is the use of that? She will not be brought back to life." While speaking to Diane, she apologised profusely. When I asked her why, she sobbed with tears falling down her reddened cheeks, "I was jealous. I have always loved you since high school. But you loved her instead of me. She was my close friend! I never thought that she would be the one you chose. I felt betrayed so I..." She could not continue. I did not console her for I could not. How could I forgive the murderer of my wife, of my lover, of my everything? I just walked away.

The next few days without my lover seemed meaningless. The fact that she was murdered made me inconsolable. I walked around aimlessly. Finally, I realised that there was no more meaning for me to live. The wound in my heart could not be cured. Hence, here I am now. I sighed. I was finally going to be at peace. My suffering and pain would soon be over. I took a deep breath. I jumped. I am coming, Rose.

There it is. I hope that I did not de-proved or anything. I did not really use any flowery language this time. So, I hope it turns out okay. :)

~bored

ending

Sigh. The holidays are ending soon.
A feeling of dread overcomes me.
Images of tons of homework flashes in my mind.
The clock would show 8 when I reach home.

I feel myself dreading the school term.
One hour of travelling to school.
Standing under the hot sun during assembly.
The urge to doze off during lessons.

But then,
Something always makes up for it.
Friends' jokes and laughter.
One after another.

Being surrounded by friends.
Sharing the gift of joy with them.
Working hard to achieve together.
That's what makes it worthy after.

This is after all, a cycle.
That is never ending, forever.
Something always makes ups,
For the bad things that happen.

~dun wanna hols to end

merry christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

" Christmas is a time of joy and a time for giving. Santa Claus enters the house through the fireplace and places presents that puts smiles on children's faces into the big, deep socks. :) Reindeers fly above houses, unknown to many people. And sometimes, people can hear a faint 'Hohoho~' "

Well, merry christmas everyone! Especially to those christian friends!!!!! ;D Chocolates are best in this joyous occasion. As for my family, we just laze around. Haha. We dont eat turkey. But we do eat fried chicken, or more specifically, toasted chicken. Haha. :)

Afterwards, we went to watch "Together" together. heehee. Then, we played 'Cluedo'. We played twice and I won both times. Thanks to my quick thinking brain and crafty tactics. (exagerrating) Meanwhile, WJ is next to me talking senseless stuff into my ears and my brain is rushing around to dispose of those nonsensical stuff.


~busy disposing of rubbish

back (:

Being back, I have a confused feeling of happiness as well as sadness. Happiness being that I am finally back home, where I started. Sadness being that I would miss my cousins whom I have spent 7 days with. This is the kind of feelings that we would all have when we come back.

Anyway, I will write about what we did during the Taiwan trip. I would just write briefly and forgive me if I forget any points. :)

Day 1
Arrived at the airport and ate some breakfast. The food at Terminal 1's food court is terrible. Seriously. Hahas. After eating, we made our way down to collect our tickets and meet our relatives. My mum, bro and I said farewell to our father and he left for work. Waited for time to pass as we collected our tickets. Then, I heard that Janice's BBF was here. I asked what was BBF and Ivy said, "Best Boyfriend". LOLs. Then, we started taking pictures and Janice and her BBF came. It was a guy and he was called Vincent. Hahas. We were like all thinking funny stuff. So, we took pictures. And then, we went in to board the aeroplane. Vincent went off. (later found out that BBF was bestest best friend, haha)
Went on the plane. There was currently some traffic jam cuz there were too many planes taking off. So, we waited for quite a while. Then, when we were taking off, Iris and I held hands. Haha. Our ears popped and it was damn exciting. Finally, after settling down - watching G-force and music - we got our lunch. Iris and I both had curry fish. Was nice considering that it was aeroplane food. However, the seat was very squeezy and it was quite uncomfortable. When we landed, it felt like as if we were on viking ship. heehee. XD
Went through check points and met up with our tour guide. Got up on the bus and he introduced himself as Alex. After talking for sometime, Alex said to Iris, "Why do you keep staring at me? My little fan ahs?" LOLs. Everyone laughed. But then, I mean, she was just being polite to look at him while he's talking. -.-
Weather was really cold!!!! Went to Taipei 101 and walked around for a while. Not much to see though. Could not go up cuz need to pay money. Then, we went to a night market and ate food. Food was delicious!!!! Bought stuff and finally, headed back to the hotel.

Day 2
Went to some ji nian tang. There were buildings that looked like temples. Took LOTS of photos. There were also these bodyguard who could not move, they could only stand there for the whole day. haha. Afterwards, we went uphill to go and eat lunch and buy stuff. :) Ate some recommended stuff. Delicious! Bought lots of little snacks too! :D
Went to see some rocks near the sea which had special shapes. Halfway through, we lost contact with the adults. LOLs. They went back. We tried to find them and finally found them at the market. -.-
Then, we went to fetch 21 other tourists who would be joining us on our tour.
Then, we went back to the hotel to eat dinner.
Day 2's hotel was fabulous!!!!!!!! XD

Day 3
Went to Taiwan's theme park. :) Sat on a train to some place inside and then, there were these tribes people's houses. We(cousins) went inside to check it out though we were quite scared. Inside the second houses, Iris suddenly screamed though there was nothing. Haha, this scared the others behind us and they ran out screaming. Haha. Nice trick huh!
Afterwards, we went back to meet the adults. There was this performance going on actually and we skipped it. So, then, we saw these guys like half naked. LOLs. Were laughing when we saw them. XP
Then, we took the cable car back down to the escape theme park where there were all the playthings. We struggled to find out where we were. Haha. We played on rides. The first ride was quite scary cuz we were on a roller coaster and it was pitch dark so we did not know what was gonna happen. hahas. We only sat on a few rides and were complaining that we did not have enough time. haiz.
Ate dinner at a night market. Bought a cap there :)
Then, we went to gao xiong and shopped in Dreammall. Thats when it happened. There was this earthquake then near hua lian. We could feel this while buying ice cream. There was 3.0 magnitude in gao xiong. Was damn exciting. Hahas. It was like once in a lifetime experience. :P
Afterwards, we went back to the hotel.

Day 4
Went to eat at some famous place where they gt lots of PORK. Haha. Then, we went to somewhere near the sea. The wind was really big and we walked around taking photos and absorbing the beautiful scenery.
Then, I forgot what we did... Anyway, we went back to the hotel for dinner.
After dinner, we went to HOT SPRING!!!!! Hot spring was really hot haha. When we went to the cooler pool, we were like frozen to death. So cold!!!!!!! Going back to the hot pool was still better. After bathing and everything, we went down where we could play table tennis. After that, we went to sleep. :)

Day 5
Sat on the bus for damn long. Like 3 hours liddat. Cuz we were going from Gao xiong to hua lian. After that, we had lunch and then, we went to a park. There were many flowers there. Was really pretty. :) Took a lot of pictures too. :D
Then, we went to a factory where they make jade and rocks and stuff. I bought a purple crystal necklace there. It is heart shaped :)
Then, we ate dinner at a restaurant and we went back to the hotel.

Day 6
Woke up at around 7.30. Ate breakfast and then, we made our way to the train station. We sat on the train. Had the bento or sumthing. Was kinda gross. Not really nice. :(
Then, we went to this shop where they talk about names and how it would affect ur life. Mine was not bad. Their predictions were quite accurate. I am kinda good in studies and I am stubborn. Haha. I will also have someone helping me when I am in trouble. :D
Iris' prediction was that she is petty, short-tempered. Haha. She might open her own business when she grows up. And when she works hard, her study will be good. :)
My mum bought this white tiger thingy to put in our house. And there are free jade thingys which will like help us in our lives. Those 3 were given to me, Iris and my bro.
Ate dinner. Then, went to this bridge which is I think Lovers' Bridge. Took lots of pictures. :)

Day 7
Woke up and went to xi men ding to shop. :)
Shop here and shop there. LOLs.
Ate some shaved ice and fruits. :D
After that, we went to the airport and boarded the plane.
I watched "Coco before Chanel". :)
Then, after landing, we bade each other goodbye.
I went home and found this drama series which is repeated.
It is called "Hwang Jin Ni".
Quite nice. Now showing at KBS World, 10.10pm on Wed and Thurs I think.

Finally finished blogging!!!!!! I gonna go watch Cruel Temptation. Now Encai is gonna take revenge!!!!!! XD

at taiwan

Here at taiwan nows. :D
Heehee. Haha.
Iris is next to me and Janice is using the other computer. XD
Iris says that I am 'wu liao'. And she's laughing saying that things that I saying are lame and not neccessary.
K, Iris is unneccessary. (jkjk)
Hahas. XP
Gotta go now.
Will take the train tomorrow to some place.
Really excited. :P
Will be back in 2 days time. :)

sprain

ARGH!!!! THIS IS A DISASTER!!!!! DISASTER!!!!!!

I SPRAINED MY ANKLE!!!!!! AND I AM GOING TO TAIWAN IN 2 DAYS FROM NOW!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!

I was having softball camp when it happened... boohoo. And there was I thinking that I would be having a nice time at softball camp before heading to eat Seoul Garden! :'( boohoo!!!! Besides, many people got injured that day too. argh!!!!!!! why?!!!!!!!

I was running, heading to the WRONG base when I realised it and I suddenly tripped over sumthing. I am not sure what it was but then!!!!! I TRIPPED! And I sprained my ankle. The first thought that came to my head was not the pain, but TAIWAN.

Thoughts like "I am going to Taiwan in 3 days!!! What the hell!!!" ran through my head. I struggled to hold back my tears. But then as I sat down on the sitting stand, I could not help but start to cry a little. It was utterly disappointing. I have waited for so long for a trip and THIS is what happens. I even start to wonder what I have done wrong.

My ankle hurt and I suspected that my nerve or sumthing got sprained. It was painful and I tried to walk, but then realised that I cant put pressure on the feet. So, I was helped by Amanda and Vernetta. Thanks, guys! :D Jingwen's silent presence helped too. :)

I was to be brought back home then. I called my mum and she said she was on the way back home. So, she said that she will go home first before fetching me. I waited and saw Pamela and Yuan Wen. Chatted for like 30 min and Pamela's car came soon.

I was kinda lonely and asked my mum when she was coming. She said that they were eating. I was kinda mad and sad at that point of time. I dunno why but then everything just came pouring down on me. I was there alone with my feet hurting. And she still was not coming. And the thought of the Taiwan trip disappearing made me shudder.

I decided to make my way to the 158 bus stop. I went through the back car entry. I took about 15min just to walk that distance, twice the amount of time for a normal abled human. I felt kinda disabled and stupid.

Finally, my parents came and we went to a Chinese doctor and he massaged my feet. Hurt like hell but I made it a point not to cry. I did not want to start that again. I just held it in.

On the way home, my mum said that I might still be able to go Taiwan. But those long walking distance trips, I might not go then. I let out a sigh of relief. I dunno why but then I did not really realise how much I wanted this trip until this accident.

It did not feel nice to know how badly I wanted something.

briefing

Yo! I ate some horrible cup noodles just now. I just realised that cup noodles aren't nice when eaten alone. You must be with friends and family, then it will be tasty. x) Anyway, I read one very nice comic just now, Watashi Ni xx Shinasai! I find it quite nice but it is irregular comic, so i dun think i will see the updates soon. Haiz. I want MORE~!

And, RC got maintenence and I haven let my workers rest yet! Argh. They would be dead by the time i open again. Next week gt softball camp, so sian. I kinda like the camp, but i dun like the training part! Argh!!!!

Later, I will be going for the briefing of the Taiwan trip at Chinatown. My auntie will fetch me. :) Hmm... but the briefing starts at 7pm so I dunno what are we gonna do in the extra time. Haiz. I gonna log off soon to get ready. :D

~missing those times

staying over

Hey guys! I am officially in my cousin's house. :) I am going to be staying over for er... 4 days 3 nights! (I will be staying until Tuesday) :) Heehee. :D I am now using laptops with Iris. Separately though. Ivy lent me her laptop to use. Thanks! :P Btw, wish her luck in her tests! Haha.

Iris currently got a Mio thingy which allows her to use broadband and watch diff channels. Just now, when Irene used her laptop, I think that it was too much on the Mio broadband thingy. So it kinda collapsed. Haha. Meaning that we could not use the internet. So we were like trying out diff stuff. Hahs. Then Irene 'backed out' voluntarily. LOL.

Anw, Iris and I were playing Poker Rivals just now. I kept losing money. K, it was like I was winning. Then, I lost. LOLS. Now, I know why gambling leads to NOTHING. Haha. So, yeah. I let my workers in RC rest now. I cant read comics and I dun think that I want to anyways.

Irene cooked the lunch just now. We had some 'special Taiwan fishballs(or sotongballs?!), veggies and tom yum fish fillet. The tom yum one is best. XD Yummy~! I wonder what are we gonna eat tonight. I hope that we can cook! And Ivy is now reading while I am typing. -.-

As for my Chinese book, I successfully read 45+ pages yesterday. Dunno how I suddenly read so much. Hahs. I read another 20 this morning. And I found out that they printed like 12 pages wrongly so it was like a repetition. Haiz. Now I left 20 pages. So I will finish by tomorrow!!! Yahoo~! ;D Btw, anyone know the title of "Together" 's theme song??? XP

(updated) Decided to write this cuz it seems funny. Irene says a guys is not handsome in a show. Ivy says dun judge a book by its cover???? Elvin not handsome but Irene still like. Haha. XD


~hoping that time crawls by

miss

I just realised something! A tragedy!!! Argh~!!!! K, I am getting all worked up over a little tiny thing. K, it is NOT a little tiny thing!!!!!!!! I am going to miss... SIX episodes of Cruel Temptation and Together!!!! HELP! K, why? Cuz there is softball camp, then I will be going to Taiwan... That equals to 1day+5days=6days!!! :( Boohoo!!!! TOGETHER!!! I shall miss Ouxuan. :'(

Anyway, ate curry puff this morning. I think that I am gonna blog every Monday to Friday for this week and next week. LOL. But then, there is NOTHING interesting to blog about. Haiz. Yesterday, I have been reading manga comics with irregular updates. I find the irregularly updated mangas nice and better than the usual. Dunno why...

I am currently playing RC now. Nicole and Krystal are beyond my grasp. Haha. Exaggerating. Now, RC upgraded and they have levels higher than 32!!! So its like they have level 45, etc. And I see all the high high ppl their levels are SO high. Argh. I wanna catch up with Weirong too! hmph!!! XD

Anyway, there is this interesting comic, Pig Bride. You can find it on mangafox.com. But it stopped just when it was getting to the nice part. Gah!!! I can't find the updated chapters anywhere sia. :(

I still have...erm... about 100 more pages to go for chinese! JIAYOUS to me!!!! XP

~struggling

tag

My mum said something about a tag on my blog last night and I went to check it out.

"1 Dec 09, 21:09

maranda: oi your blog post is in the newpaper"
That was what it said.
LOL.
I not even sure if it is true. Well, I checked The Straits Times. So I think that it might be just some one faking. But it is kinda cool if such a thing happens, eh?
[updated]
Turns out Maranda was not joking. There was a follow-up of the Australian parents thingy and Singaporean parents being too strict. Maranda said that they quoted from my blog. I am trying to find out the full story. But I cannot. This is a link to what I believe is the report. Click here.

Last night, I was watching a documentary showing on okto, "Extreme Bodies". The episode was talking about dwarfs. It talked about the health conditions that they have, etc. I feel that they are INDEED looked down upon by normal, healthy human beings. However, the individuals shown on the documentary have shown awesome will-power and perseverance. They work hard to show us that they can do it too. There was this one man and his wife who are both dwarfs. The husband is sportsman that was trying to win a Paralympic medal. His wife has won a silver medal for Paralympics once. She swam the 50m breaststroke. :D Pro, huh? It is amazing what they can do, seriously. :) And, whats more amazing is that their son is NOT a dwarf. Even though this is more or less hereditary, he still did not get the disease. :)

There was this girl who had a curve in her spine because she was a dwarf. It is less common in normal human beings, but 40 to 50% of dwarfs get this disease. So, yeah. She had to get an operation which straightens her spine by moving the bone, one by one. Cuz they are interlocked. And then, he will insert this long piece of metal which will enable the spine to remain straight. I was thinking, since the spine is CURVING, then when they straighten it, wont it be like too long for the girl's back??? LOLs.

Then, there was this other guy who was the normal size of a human. BUT he was a dwarf once. His mother made him go through a special treatment while he was of the age 12 to 16. He had LENGTHENED his bones by fracturing and breaking them continuously! Cuz the bone had a natural healing system when the bones break, they purposely broke it and left a gap so the bone will be lengthened. However, the treatment was excruciating. The guy still has scars on his legs till now. However, this treatment is still highly controversial. I myself think that such a treatment was kinda not worth it in a short term. Even though u are tall already, the scars on your legs may still put people off. As a dwarf, I think that they should look at things from a better perspective and ADAPT to their environment.

Yep. So eh last night. My mother, brother and I were like chatting where to eat today for dinner when the topic shifted to London, then to us not speaking good english. Haha. Remember a post where I wrote about a similar thing? About how we tend to shift from one thing to another when we talk. Haha. XD Anw, my grandma's back. :)


~living my life

11.11

I took a glimpse at the time now, and guess what? It showed 11.11am. These days, the clock and me have a really weird iffinity??! There were a few times when I see times like 12.12, 3.33, 4.44 and stuff... They say that if you see such and such timings, something is happening and etc. LOL.

Anyway, "Together" made its debut series yesterday. The series yesterday gave a very good overall view of whos who and who likes who. Xiaobei obviously likes Jianhong. Tarzan too. So, obviously there would be a love triangle etc. XD I hope that the second episode will have something more exciting. You guys may catch the 17min(?) preview of "Together" which was broadcasted on Channel 8 at 6.15 pm I think. :) Just click here.

Meanwhile, Cruel Temptation/ Temptation of Wife is starting to get interesting. Encai finally found out about the husband's affair with Aili. ;D Yahoo~! Finally sumthing is starting to get interesting. Anw, Encai is kinda stupid and naive too. LOLs.

And I just got news that my grandma is most probably not coming. So I will have to spend the afternoon ALONE. :( And I am gonna have leftover fried rice from yesterday for lunch. Boohoo! Haiz. I cant seem to get into mangafox.com lehs! So irritating. Argh! And hors, the Channel 8 thingy when I wanna see the "Together" character bios, I can only see Jeanette's. -.- Hope they fix it. Oh yah! There is an OFFICIAL website for Jeanette Aw now! :) Click here.

As for my Chinese story book, I still have... 150 pages to go! Wah sey lahs! Should not have chosen this book. The book is like excepts of the author's life. Some of it is interesting so I can read damn fast but some are quite boring so I like drag through it. I am now making it a point to read at least 20 pages each day. Haiz. But I not sure if I can finish before I go Taiwan.

Ah~~~!!!!! Cant wait for Taiwan!!!! XP


~can't wait
