don't look up just let them think
there's no place else you'd rather be in now
you can't turn back
because this road is all you'll ever have

Upcoming movies
Valkyrie  Although this wasn't nominated for any category but i really wanna watch this. It is based on actual events and having studied history in sec sch i do know a bit about WWII. It is about a group of militants who are planning a coup d'état against Hitler but failed. It stars Tom Cruise. The Reader  Another movie set in Germany post WWII. It talks about the relationship between the 2 main characters and despite falling in love, the female suddenly disappears only to re-surface 8 years later and her past is revealed. Stars Ralph Fiennes and Kate Winslet. She won Best Supporting Actress for her role in this movie at the Golden Globes. Revolutionary Road  This stars Kate Winslet in another award winning role. She won Best Actress for this. Talks about her rocky relationship with her husband played by Leonardo Dicaprio and how they moved to France only to have their relationship deteriorate further. This movie reunites Kate and Leo after a decade. They were last seen in Titanic (duh). The Curious Case of Benjamin Button  A very intriguing story about a man ageing backwards from the day he was born. He was born with the body of an old man and his body grows younger as he ages. The lead is played by none other than Brad Pitt. Cate Blanchett co-stars. Rachel Getting Married  Rachel Getting Married is about the return of an estranged daughter to the family home for her sister's wedding. Her reemergence throws a wrench into the family dynamics, forcing long-simmering tensions to surface. Apparently, Anne Hathaway's performance was given rave reviews by the critics and i'm quite intrigued by her and how she has evolved from her princess diaries days. Looking forward to her performance in this show. Changeling  Angelina Jolie stars as the mother whose son was kidnapped and when the police finally returns the boy, it turns out that it is not her son. She challenges the police and was slandered as an unfit mother. Starts tomorrow. =) Ok to be honest, i'm not sure if im going to catch ALL of them, with my finances hanging on a VERY THIN thread of late. But nonetheless, if i don't watch them on the big screen there are always other ways of catching them. hah. There are some other pretty intense movies too. Not too sure if they will all be screened here though. The Wrestler (the lead actor, Mickey Rourke won Best Actor)  Gran Torino (directed and stars the legendary Clint Eastwood)  Doubt  Set in 1964, Doubt centers on a nun who confronts a priest after suspecting him abusing a black student. He denies the charges, and much of the play's quick-fire dialogue tackles themes of religion, morality and authority. The very talented Meryl Streep plays the lead. MILK  Based on the true life of California's first openly gay elected official, Harvey Milk, a San Francisco supervisor who was assassinated along with Mayor George Moscone by San Francisco Supervisor Dan White. Slumdog Millionaire (won best Motion Picture)  Suddenly there is such a huge flood of great movies because of the awards season. Wish they would space it out more instead of screening everything out just because the Oscars are coming up. Moving on from movies and onto television. i must say i f.u.c.k.i.n.g love Tina Fey. She is absolutely TALENTED and just brilliant. She's so damn funny and witty and she looks great too. i know this was quite a while back but did u see her impersonation of Sarah Palin on SNL last year? She was so SPOT ON man. was freakin hilarious stuff. Not only can she act, she started out as a writer on SNL actually. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdDqSvJ6aHc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE2gE-VVjBI She is the creator of 30 rock and also acts in it and she just rocks(pun intended). Its into its 3rd season and its seriously not bad, its quite funny, haha. Btw, 30 rock won Best Television Series, Best Performance by an actress in a television series (Tina Fey, woot!) and Best Performance by an actor in a television series (Alec Baldwin). Kudos to her, she absolutely deserves it. Her acceptance speech was probably the funniest of the night too. Suck it! Up next, the Oscars. Wednesday, January 07, 2009, 9:16 pm
emo
Was chatting with zb and cw over dinner yesterday about our future and work. yes work. for the first time in our lives, we are forced to finally get a job. As of today, all 3 of us are finally working. I finally got a temp job at SIM, ironically. cw is still working at the tourism company and zb has finished his 2 day course and started his teaching internship at da zhong pri sch. We were just talking what courses we wanna study in uni and work and our biggest concern of all was, as always, the finances. Much as we would like to live off our parents for the rest of our lives, we are decent human beings who have a conscience and neither of us want our parents to really bear the full burden of the uni expenses. Unfortunately for me, i can only enter SIM and the tuition fees can't be paid through CPF. As such, my mother has to pay for everything upfront. It's prob going to amount to about 25k for all 3 years, which is no small sum. sigh. Although my mother is earning a decent wage, but nonetheless its going to be slightly tough financially for the next few years, especially with my brother's wedding. Although i intend to work through school, it can only help so much. That's why i was trying so desperately to find a job previously. And i really was indeed trying. and i'm still clinging on to that minuscule glimmer of hope that by some miracle that maybe. just maybe. i can slip through the cracks and maybe land a spot in NUS FASS? Ha. Well, a guy can dream, can't he? Sometimes i really gotta hand it to yawen. Having to juggle so many things. School, work, family, and erm, various relationship(s?). lol, just joking. and her CCA takes up SO MUCH TIME. and she just became vice capt some more. Yawen, are you sure you are human? I shall rmb to go and check tmr during lunch. lol. Nonetheless, i've finally gotten a job, albeit a rather saggish job. Don't get me wrong, the people there are friendly. Its just that im surrounded by a group of 30 smth women and doing such boring stuff the whole day (filing and various forms of saigang), it would be nice just to have someone to bitch with. or just to crap with. Ok i should stop complaining, i should just focus on the money!! but... There are a lot of things on my mind nowadays seriously. I still have yet to really decide wth i wanna study. Econs and management? Met up with boonee ytd finally and she opened the "overseas" box again. But after looking at the expenses, i can really forget abt the idea unless i intend to be eternally in debt after i graduate. And as per the norm these days, relationships came up once again. Feels like biological clock is finally ticking. ha.... I have some other things on my mind too but i just can't put them into words. Everything is just one big mess in that brain of my mine. Ok, i'm seriously becoming too emo. Crap. Maybe thats why i have a fetish for emo songs lately. Decode by Paramore, Anyway by Martina Mcbride, Ai Chuo by Lee hom. Wth is wrong with me. lol. nice songs thou. and cw, stop thinking abt europe backpacking la. unless u suddenly strike the lottery. or unless you decide to go rob a bank. wanna backpack, go pulau ubin? just like OBS. Residential or mobile yo? =P (its JUST a joke) money is seriously the root of all evil... and hormones too. and maybe anitha (always rmb, ******* are not trustworthy). lol For some reason this song is on constant replay on my ipod recently. Decode - Paramore How can I decide what's right? When you're clouding up my mind I can't win your losing fight all the time Not gonna ever own what's mine When you're always taking sides But you won't take away my pride No not this time Not this time How did we get here? When I use to know you so well How did we get here? Well, I think I know The truth is hiding in your eyes And it's hanging on your tongue Just boiling in my blood, But you think that I can't see What kind of man that you are If you're a man at all Well, I will figure this one out on my own On my own ("I'm screaming I love you so") On my own (My thoughts you can't decode) How did we get here? When I use to know you so well, yeah. How did we get here? Well, I think I know Do you see what we've done? We've gone and made such fools of ourselves Do you see what we've done? We've gone and made such fools of ourselves Yeah How did we get here? When I use to know you so well, yeah yeah How did we get here? Well, I use to know you so well I think I know I think I know There is something I see in you It might kill me I want it to be true Monday, January 05, 2009, 1:44 am
Ride
My favourite part is probably the last runway walk where all the bling blings were coming out. Adriana donned a 5 million dollar bra. Lol. And Heidi was wrapped like a red christmas present. Selita Ebanks and Alessandra Ambrosio are pretty hot too. The last scene where all the angels were out were quite a sight to behold. The video isn't very clear but i think channel 5 is showing it soon.  Heidi wrapped in sexy red  Alessandra Ambrosio  Selita Ebanks  Smouldering Adriana Lima with the 5 million dollar bra. Look at her legs!!  All the angels This is one of my favourite Tiesto trance remixes of 2008 too. Ride - Cary Brothers You are everything i wanted The scars of all i'll ever known If I told you you were right would you take my hand tonight If I told you the reasons why would you leave your life and ride Ride You saw all my pieces broken This darkness I could never show If I told you you were right would you take my hand tonight If I told you the reasons why would you leave your life and ride Ride Ride Ride If I told you you were right would you take my hand tonight If I told you the reasons why would you leave your life and ride (If I told you you were right would you take my hand tonight) Oh (x6) (If I told you the reasons why would you leave your life and ride) Oh (x6) (Ride) Sunday, January 04, 2009, 10:02 pm
omfg
oh. my. fucking. god. my brother has decided to make a video montage for his upcoming nuptials and went to dig up all our old photos. those DECADES OLD photos. those ABSOLUTELY MORTIFYING HORRENDOUS photos of me included. i was obese. or quoting kelly's phrase, "not obese, but just very very very very very fat". that delusional girl. ok, maybe i wasn't obese in pri sch but these photos are just as traumatising. the old scars are resurfacing. My brother just blurted, "oh you were fatter than me". Um, hello? I have always been and still am fatter than you. Stop using reverse psychology and me to elevate your self esteem please. LOL. Oh how young and innocent i was then. and chubby. how i've been corrupted by all these evils surrounding me, if not i would still be such an innocent boy. sigh. Guess i'll be seeing some of those photos during my brother's wedding then. shudders. maybe its time to start burning some of these unglam evidence. at least i do not look like a certain deranged woman on her msn display pic now. oops better watch my karma before it bites me. lolll. those photos are seriously funny man. haha. and yellow too. as in literally not metephorically u dirty dirty reader. see what i mean when i said i'm surrounded by evil dirty minds. tsk tsk. Hahaha, that was seriously a good laugh. On another note, my brother just asked me to help with his wedding during dinner. To help co-ordinate some stuff, hasn't really told me about the details. I'm more than willing to help actually, SURPRISINGLY. But it kind of made me realise how near his impending nuptials are, just a mere 8 months away and i will have a sister-in-law. He will be moving out naturally. I suppose i won't feel much of a change since we don't exactly see each other that often now either but nonetheless it will be a little different. His new home will be at tanjong pagar which will be quite a distance from us. (maybe purposely one, lol). it just daunted on me that i'm going to bear the full wrath of mother from now on. if only i was able to enter into nus/ntu and stayed in hall. lol. At least she has passed the PMS stage. More or less. Suppose to go meet the future in-laws next fri too actually, but turned out they are not free. But its definitely inevitable. Wonder how it will turn out,maybe there will be lots of fireworks..  The yesteryears. Can u spot which adorable kid is me? LOL Thursday, January 01, 2009, 6:42 pm
And so it begins....
To sidetrack, although i thought i expressed my uneasiness but apparently u didn't pick up on that. So i apologise for not explaining things clearly to you. But you seemed adamant about asking them and i didn't wanna rain on your parade so i expressed my opinion to the others instead, which wasn't right, i apologise once again. I am truly open to meeting new people but somehow i just felt it was going to a be a little uneasy that time. Nonetheless, there are times where you say its weird even amongst ourselves. But that is besides the point, I was wrong about the whole thing and it turned out fine instead. I'm sorry about the whole incident and i guess being a guy i'm not always very vocal about what im thinking or feeling and i shall be more expressive the next time around. And please don't keep saying nvm when it is clearly not so. I do wish to clear the air, it is polluted as it is already. and who the hell is xin long? |
