i was watching oprah primetime a few hours ago and she was dead serious when she asked her guest, maria shriver, if her husband was planning to run for president.fyi, the husband in question is none other that the terminator himself, arnold schwarzenegger. imagine that.
was switching through channels when i saw ch5's President's Star Charity bullshit. how sad is life when one has to resort to donate money to the unfortunate through means like this one? 'celebrities' (and i use this term loosely, considering our local acts are shit) performing stunts and/or acting like monkeys. oh my god let's donate now because what they're doing is totally relevant to the cause!! come-fucking-on. try having programs like these minus the star entourage and then we'll talk.
yesterday, me and nabillah satisfied our potentially dangerous calamari craving. after that we met kham at clarke quay and we walked to city hall. marina square is suddenly a strange place. the italian gelato there, however, is TO DIE FOR. recommended flavors are; cookies&cream, mango, mint, butterscotch. cheaper than andersen's too. p.s. kham, your '20 qns' game sucks!
keep me far away from seafood. until the next craving comes ah.
ini bukan gagah, ini gelojoh bodoh!!
then we met kham at SHM.
lightsabers are for pussies
party people
happy people
today at work i found a wallet belonging to an 11yr old kid. she had $54 in it(!!!) and i almost stole it but there's this matter of conscience. what kind of mother would let a child carry more than $5 in her wallet?! maybe i should have taken it, to teach that future slut a lesson.
every person under the age of 45 needs to have a movie marathon consisting of these 3 movies.

for this week only, my weekend starts a day early because i dont have classes tomorrow. i'll be doing something that is envied by many on this blessed day. it would be eventful, exciting and maybe even life-altering.i will be babysitting.
but i get paid and shit so it's all good.
yesterday my girl nurul celebrated her 19th birthday. it was also sort of a bapok posse reunion. met kham and zahriah at city hall, bought a birthday cake and 'halal wine', went down to chinatown and waited for bout an hour to surprise her after her dinner with her mister and his friend.
our new secret hiding place
birthday girl. thnx for the truth, it was all i needed to hear.
today during my morning class i felt asleep for a while. these past few weeks i've been dozing off everywhere. number of times i very narrowly missed my bus stop; 5. number of times i actually missed my bus stop; 2. number of times i woke up with my mouth wide open with slumber; infinite. i wish i could have a week to myself, just lying on my bed either sleeping or reading.
also today, we started using the dolly and this is me being jakun.
i watched memento the other day.
mind-blowing. the plot, the arrangement of the scenes, guy pearce. recommended!!!
how happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
the world forgetting, by the world forgot.
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd.
good night and good riddance y'all.

thurday = filming for cam&lighting assignment 2 = most tiring day of my life. we basically had to copy the cinematography of one scene from a movie of our choice. us being as ambitious as we were, we chose the 'Mother' scene from the 1960 Psycho. bad, baaadddd mistake.
our norman bates. we couldnt afford a wig so we made one from yarn. since the scene was shot in black & white, it didnt really matter that the yarn was hot pink. the knife was made using cardboard, chopsticks, aluminium foil and paint.
my groupmates! from left; shan shan, julie and rozi. grrrl power siol.
my Dave Grohl lookalike lecturer.
thnxxx many2 to khien and francis aka our saviours.
dinnerrr
thxxx to Nadia also for playing Lila Craine and screaming and (not)hitting the bulb!
i love schoooooool!!!

last thursday, after rendering my CG assignment 2 for almost half an hour, i played back and was pleased with the result. granted my rocketship looked like it was swimming rather than flying but heyyy, whoever said it had to be perfect right? so i played it back on slow motion to make sure everything was alright and..... i discovered something that would have made Osama proud of me.
meet my rocketship, aka suicide plane.
then after that hor, must re-do a bit then re-render loh! waste my time only!
my Canon comes back from the workshop in 8 days.
shooting the last part of Psycho tmr till 10pm. wish me luck!

charlie and the chocolate factory = 8 out of 10today i met amalina late because i left my hp at home so i had to go back and get it. if you know me, you'll know that this happens ALL the time. hp, ezlink card, wallet, bra, etc. im seriously contemplating pasting a checklist on the door to my flat.
anyhow, off to dhoby ghaut for movie, then lunch, then window shopping then a bit of baybeats. the day ended badly though cos i was having a migraine and a bunch of loud attention-seeking mat&minahs didnt make it any better. went home early, took a crap and a nap, in that order.
excited to watch oompa loompas sing and dance!
sneak preview for you ppl
post movie discussion time
really cheap lunch, aussie style
way too expensive netted muffler thingy and tacky sunglasses from M&S
pre baybeats
for the 8394734985734985th time in my life, i realise that window shopping is depressing when you have less than ten bucks in your ATM. baybeats was nyeh, the people were blah.
apprentice 3 on channel 5 and i should be more excited than this. i kinda caught the finale while i was in Aussie last month. the people in this season are kinda boring but whatever. one hour spent waiting to catch trump's massive (&retarded) combover at the end of each show & laugh hysterically = worth it.
its hard, when ppl you trust and care about let you down. i've learned that you cannot have everything and im trying to get that into my head.
wtf taufik&co still alive ah?!?! knn!

sin city in the morning, tuition in the afternoon and caffeine&nicotine at night. hurray for good days like today.thxxx remi for being 21 and having a sister who's 23 and lending me your sister's ic. sin city was so good. benicio del toro + fake nose= sexaaay. he would be hot even with a beer belly lah. too bad it's too tedious or else i would have watched it at least 3 more times on the big screen. must be contended with watching it on dvd now grrr.
amalina, thanks for starbucks and chitchat. love you like a sister, shortcake.
everybody, pls pls pls watch little britain.
i bought Amore Perros at jb yesterday and i was shocked when i saw the cover while flipping through the dvd booklet thingy. been looking for it on online auctions forever and to think that i finally found it in a pirated dvd shop across the causeway owned by heavily tattooed ahbengs... well, lets just say i was surprised. but in a good way lah.
watching charlie & the chocolate factory this sunday yeayyyy.
it's simple, really. you dont make promises if you're not gonna fucking keep them. why does everyone around me seem to not grasp the meaning of this?

dearest singapore idol and anyone/anything related to it,your 15 seconds of fame ended about a year ago. please disappear and/or die.
thanksss,
the republic of singapore.
friday i went to johor again, this time with kham. so suey! the shopping center experienced a black out once we were done with lunch and right before we wanted to start shopping. tsk! 30mins or so later, they fixed it and we shopped quite a bit considering that we are poor deprived students.
lunch at some portugese place with the best egg tarts ever.
walking out right after the black out
i thought pretty much anything remotely 'dirty' was banned from malaysia. i was wrong.
kham is not taller than me. and orange plastic bag contains egg tarts to tapao homeee
saturday i pretty much slept alot.
sunday after work, i managed to sneak tickets for Crash. watched it with kham and i loved it but i dont know, i feel like there could/should be more. still, a film i would recommend, a movie made by stereotypes about stereotypes for stereotypes.
remember my rocket from a few post back? that was assignment numero uno. for assignment 2, i have to build a track around some mountains with skyscrapers and make the rocket move around it.
i think im going crazy.
wanted. a few hoes&skanks willing to work for this pimp.

daniel johns please be the father of my baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was in a cab the other day, when this chinese song, with the dumbest english chorus ever, played on the radio.maybe you're wrong
or maybe you're right
everybodys fall in love
the bloody taxi driver was humming along lor. and that last sentence! wrong in so many ways!
anyhows, friday i went to johor with Nadia. we only stayed for like 3 hours cos it got boring after a while. we ate at some sushi place where the funniest shit happened. i asked this malay waiter for a glass of iced water and i got...................... a plate of ice. what a shame, with english being a universal language and all. after lunch, we did a bit of window shopping, hung out at starbucks, followed by a little bit more window shopping. then we left johor and went to town, had pretzels and caffeine-laced drinks for dinner.
and because we are spastic;
Monday, i met my homie ain the retard aka future ntu lit student(ahem!). we had lunch at seoul garden, saw a few of our juniors.
ain is a fucking retard ah, she does not know how to stand in neoprint booths. after that i met nabillah for a bit, and she is the bestest person ever cos she loaned me her digicam for this week to do my project. yeay for sidekicks!
today is the longest day ever to exist in my life. i feel like i've been around the whole of singapore in 2 hours. my day in numbers;
0530-0610hrs : pretend not to hear my mom shouting for me to get up.
0610-0800hrs : bathe, get ready, go to school in clementi.
0800-1100hrs : film history lecture.
1100-1400hrs : meet my mom for lunch at toa payoh. complete photography assignment for camera & lighting module (due tmr).
1400-1500hrs : take bus to sengkang (home sweet home)
1500-1530hrs : upload photos into laptop. burn into cd-rw.
1530-1600hrs : get ready to go back to school (take a crap, bathe, pack bag)
1600-1700hrs : send cd-rw for developing. take train to school.
1700-1730hrs : group meeting.
1730-1800hrs : take bus to bishan to meet my mom(again) to get a gift, dinner at Yakun(cos my mom was craving for kaya)
1800-1900hrs : shopping&dinner at junction8, taxi to compass point to collect photos.
1900-2030hrs : spent in compass point doing something or another.
i cannot wait to sleep and never wake up, sometime soon. on a brighter note, my mom got me 2 packs of polaroid film cos she loves me and also cos i am the queen of sucking up. my dad, however, surprised me. he got me this adidas tote bag;
sometimes, he really does leave me speechless.
i realised that i got my japanese roots from my mother.
peace.
i feel like i could sleep for 5 days straight.
