Cowabunga!

Watched TMNT!! Quite nice, I quite enjoyed the show.

I wished they had played the theme song though! You know, the one from the cartoons. They probably did in the beginning, but too bad I missed a little bit of the starting, all thanks to the super long queue at the ticket booth! Bah.

I liked the animation. I thought the turtle shells were a little too small though. Too longish. And Splinter looked more like a wolf than a rat. And since when did April became a ninja-chick?

I wished they gave more personality to Donatello though. Like, Leonardo is this wise leader, calm and strong, and Raphael has his anger-rage-emo angsty thing going on, and Michelangelo is his party-animal, pizza-loving self, and Donatello is... What? What happened to the tech whiz??

Really want to THANK the person who watched it with me, despite being tired, overworked, and having cramps. And having to find an excuse to go out so late at night.

Thanks for always going out with me. I don't know where I'll be without you. You make me happier than anyone else is capable of. =)

Finally got my paycheck from Mr Yong! It's with Cherie now, so I have no idea how much it is, but who cares!

If anyone sees me now, they will say me a fool.

A fool I may be, but at least I'm happy. =)

Study outing turned movie date. Music and Lyrics is a nice show! Funny, and obviously romantic. I mean, how can it get anymore romantic than a guy playing and singing a song he wrote to win the girl he loves?

Don't Write Me Off
Huge Grant

It's never been easy for me
To find words to go along with a melody
But this time there's actually something on my mind
So please forgive these few brief awkward lines

Since I met you my whole life has changed
It's not just my furniture you've rearranged
I was living in the past but somehow you brought me back
And I haven't felt like this since before Frankie said relax

And I know based on my track record
I might not seem like the safest bet
All I'm asking you is
Don't write me off just yet

For years I've been telling myself the same old story
That I'm happy to live off my so called former glories
But you've given me a reason to take another chance
And now I need you despite the fact that you've killed all my plants

And though I know I've blown more chances
Than anyone should ever get
All I'm asking you is
Don't write me off just yet
Don't write me off just yet

300 is a good movie.

It could have done without the sex, though. And the half-naked oracle.

I mean, the sex wasn't really necessary to move the plot or anything, and it wasn't like 300 had the strongest plot.

"Hey honey, what's wrong? Come to bed!"

"I'm going off to fight a half-million strong army tomorrow with 300 people, so forgive me if I can't sleep."

"Awww, it's okay! Let's have sex."

=_=

And the oracle? Hello? Aren't oracles supposed to be old, frail, haggard women hunching over their walking sticks, with one eye and a crooked nose, and speak in rhymes?

Instead we have a young nubile girl in a transparent gown gyrating on the floor like she's having a sexual high.

It's just unnecessary. I suspect it's just included to attract the boys. Haha!

HonSeng will probably want to watch it now, if he hadn't already. LOL!

The fight scenes were pretty good though. All the 300 Spartans have like 8 pack abs. By rights my date should be squealing in delight at a screen full of men with power abs and wearing helmet and loincloth. But somehow that didn't happen. Hmm..

Could have had more decapitating. There were only 2 I think. And the odd severed limb here and there. The blood looked fake, probably because it was CGed. In fact, everything was CGed except the horses.

Man, I wanted to see Leonidas 1v1 the abom!

Xerxes looked pretty cool though. But the way he speaks, I could catch maybe a quarter of it all. I think the gods usually speak with more clarity than that!

The arrows scene was cool. Fight in the shade, lol!

Okay, so I left alumni practice to watch 300 with someone I like.

It's not like the practice wasn't what I expected it to be. Let's see. Late comers? Check. Less than 10 people? Check. Nothing prepared? Check. People generally wanting to sit and slack instead of practice? Check and check.

Sick of it, really.

They don't like the songs I've chosen, they can go ahead and choose whatever they like. I don't care, I'm not the one singing anyway. Worse come to worse, I'll even tell them, no thanks, I don't feel like conducting you all. Let Cherie have her fun with them! Hah!

I don't think the situation will improve anytime soon. Meanwhile, I could care less if we ended up not singing for Cantab after all.

Today, the most exciting thing I did was to play Snakes on my phone from Level 1 all the way to Level 36.

Tomorrow, the most exciting thing I'll do is probably play Word Search in Sunday times, and play Snakes on my phone from Level 1 all the way to Level 36 with my toes.

I think my Father was right.

Last July, when he was the only one who wanted to buy a car (then, for my sis), and all of us were against it, I thought it was dumb. I saw it as an unnecessary waste of money. He said, you'll see, you all will be fighting over the car soon. I said, yeah, right.

Now, I can honestly say that I don't think I can do without the car.

And, it IS great to be able to drive around. So much more convenient. How else do I get to pick up and send home a pretty lady? =)

Anyway, the petrol cost is just killing me now.

And washing the car, that's another bad side effect.

Going to watch 300 tomorrow! I hope it's good!

I don't really have very high standards when it comes to movies. Most shows I've seen are alright with me. There's the occasional few that I really like, but there really isn't anything that I intensely disliked, or felt was immensely bad. I'm quite easy going when it comes to movies.

Watched Pursuit of Happyness last week. I thought it was a rather good show. Will Smith delivered good acting, the plot was good, although the pace was a little slow at some points, and his son is just cute.

I have been seeing a certain someone rather often lately, and I am enjoying it.

=)

Went to ECP again today.

My, Bishi has growned.

The last I saw her was 3 years ago, when she was just a Sec 1 kid, I think. Sec 4 now, a big girl already.

Still remember when we first met at Genting. I was J1, the choir was at Genting as guest performers for the competition, and she was with PCPS choir (my alma mater) who was competing.

It was just weird. Nothing linked the 2 of us (me and Sher) to her, except that we were from PCPS choir, and now she is. For us, it was like, hey, look, there's our old choir, let's go talk to the teachers.

But, somehow, we got stuck with her. Or she with us. We ended up exchanging numbers, bringing her around with special permission from her teachers in charge, and basically adopted her as a kid sister.

The weird thing is I never expected the relationship to last. The age difference was too big, and the novelty soon wore off, for me at least. And, indeed, things did turn out to proof me right, or at least half-right. Another girl her age who was also stuck with us soon fell off the radar. So I kinda expected her to do the same. Oh, there was the obligatory meet-up after we're back in SG, then there was the Christmas party at Sher's place, then a piano recital, and frankly I thought things would end right there.

But she's a special kid, that one.

She hung on. She tried, where I never did. I feel ashamed of myself for this.

I've decided to give it a try. The 5-year age difference seems smaller now.

Anyway ECP was great fun. Great, tiring fun. Great, tiring, PAINFUL fun. Man, 2 hours on a bike can really do something to one's butt, especially if one's butt is as meat-less as mine.

Well, you can't really describe fun, can you? Words often fail me when it comes to feelings, anyway. Suffice to say it had been a great day. Good to see Sher too, that busy woman.

Hmm.. I guess the promise to blog more isn't really working out, is it?

I'm just lazy.
