MOVIES marathon

wwwoooooooohhooooooooooo.... Exams have ended, except for effective comm which is not possible to fail and cinematics which is not possible to score. This marks the end of the academic year unofficially! No more equations, no more maths, no more periodic table, no more early mornings!!!

I spent the first day of freedom watching movies. JJ brought in the original version of shaolin soccer, the one with the dancing scene that was cut off from the screenings in cinemas. Shaolin soccer is still as entertaining even though I've already seen it 4 or 5 times. JJ's cinematic lecturer told him that stefan chow has created a new genre, wu li tou. It means the plot in the movie does not follow normal logic like all other movies do. Things in the movie happen for no reason at all. And that is best illustrated by the dancing scene, where everyone in the movie just danced for no reason. The guy who leads the dancing is also the guy who showed his buttcrack in kungfu hustle, acting as the same retard. I think he deserves to win some award.

The other movie is The pacifier. That's the 1st movie i watched in the cinema this year, and it's also my favourite movie this year. Apart from the funny, comical bits that i've expected, this movie is also very heart warming. At one point of time i had to hold back my tears. I don't know if it's because i'm behaving oddly recently or it's really the movie. JJ and chiwai just said it was funny. But all agreed that it is a good movie.

NOw that i'm back in hall, I have the extended version of Lord of Ring which i was not able to finish during exams period... 13 more cds left to go, it's like a series more than a movie.

After the LOTR, i have one week to catch up on the movies i'm supposed to watch for my cinematics paper. Ali, rashomon, 12th storey, all that heaven allows, wizard of oz, Dr strangelove... blah blah blah. I wonder why JJ's cinematics is so different from mine. He studies the cultural background, while I have to memorize terms. He only needs to pen down his opinion on the movies, while i need to remember the names of the character without the need to analyse.

Peeping tom Alert

Uncle.... Dabao one module of maths and chemistry please.... maybe physics too??? i don't know lah... arrgggggg....

Digressed... back to the topic

I was intrigued by the msn nicknames of my blockmates.

ALERT!theres an idiotic peeping tom in hall! gals,take note & its not a scam! he might have struck again

the peeping tom might have struck again just now... girls beware!!!

Be careful everyone, a peeping tom has been reported in hall... and it's not me

It all seemed to be a joke to me until one of my blockmates verified the correctness of this piece of information. Also, the matter has been brought to the hall officer's attention and she has sent an email to warn everyone about this peeping tom accordingly. Funny thing is that this peeping tom has been going back to peep at the same girl despite having the matter blown up, and he's still not caught.

Even though I recognise the fact that all kinds of people exist, and that this is certainly a perverse world, I can't imagine anyone would go out of the way and risk getting caught just to peep. In the first place, peeping from the gap under the door arouses suspicion easily. Also, what can you possibly see from that angle? I despise the stupidity of the culprit more than his petty crimes.

My blockmate told me that the peeping tom is making all of them very paranoid now. I consoled her with my suggestion that the peeping tom is more likely a stalker than a peeping tom attacking at random, which explains why he peeped at the same girl despite having caught once. She said that the girls still feel uneasy with that guy lurking around. They had blocked the gaps with cardboards but were too affected to concentrate on studying for the remaining papers. I couldn't say anything to help except to ask her to be more careful. I know things are always easy for third parties to say.

Apparently oblivious to the girls, this peeping incident affects the guys as well. Now that the peeping tom is not being identified, all of us carry a certain amount of suspicion against ourselves. My blockmate said the person must be too stressed up to resort to peeping like this, which goes to show that they don't rule out the possibility that an insider is involved. Also, too many things happen recently for the boys to sleep in peace. First the stolen shoes incident, and now this.

My advice, be it to the girls or boys, latch your door when you're going to sleep, keep all the valuables inside the room, and don't leave your key at the keyhole (somebody is fond of doing this). We'll look out (not in that peeping sense) for one another.

unlucky friday

I stepped out the examination hall feeling sick. Not having the mind to engage in discussion about how the paper went, i went back to my hall to find i've left my bottle in the exam hall. The exam hall is 15 mins from hall, by going back to retrieve it i would walk away 45mins of my precious friday. Still, i decided the bottle is worth the time and effort. When i reached the exam hall, i was stopped by the security officers as the other group was having a paper. They demanded to know why i have to go in and i told them i left my bottle inside. They refused to help upon hearing that it was only a bottle. So i waited for the other group to finish their paper since i've already walked all the way there. After waiting for a long time, The group was finally released and i quickly made my way in. The bottle was no longer there. Nevermind, I thought, it's a lesson to be careless. And then, it rained when i was about to go back to hall.

study!!!

Studying is like feeding information to the computer. Not only your HD must be big enough, the transfer rate is also a crucial factor. I've been loading information via floppy until the past 2 weeks where i find a need for firewire. Back to the analogy, when too much information is transferred, sometime you forget where the file is stored, and you end up transferring a 2nd copy into your HD. Sometimes the information is unreadable or your computer can't recognise the format, and you'll need to install more programs to see which one it runs on. The f**king thing is that those files could have been easily stored as more recognizable form. Sometimes different files crash with one another and break down the whole system. Sometimes some computers go crazy and end up in IMH. Sometimes some computers explode killing the people feeding them information. Some computers are so fed up (pun not intended) that they auto-send virus to everybody.

My computing textbook reads:
it is not in non-decreasing order of size... so is it decreasing or increasing?

My Chem note:
Brached isomers have lower b.p. b.p??????

Maths:
sadg28yhda9udad2393&()@jkn alien language i can't type

Cinematics:
women symbolises the castration threat by her real lack of a penis and thereby raises her child into the symbolic. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

pizza, way to set priority, and job lobang

After much thought, i've finally decided... It'll be Pizza hut after physics paper... large chicken supreme... waaaa... i should be thinking about the equations now.

Sir justin once told me that NTU is like a hamster cage, and now i'm beginning to feel like a hamster. It has been so long since i'm last in touch with the world outside. It feels so much like confinement in NS. I can't wait to sink my teeth into the large chicken supreme pizza, the closest ntu canteens can offer is garlic bread...

The only good thing about staying in sch is that there'll always be ppl around. I can knock on some doors to ask for maths solutions even at 2 am. Or i can even get running buddies. We just formed a ponding party and ponded Danny 3 hrs ago.

argggg... can't get my mind off the pizza.

Speaking about Danny, i think he went to watch liverpool's match cos i heard weiyuan asked him yesterday. Weiyuan has this strange logic... exams are frequent but liverpool getting into semi is rare, so supporting liverpool has top priority.

I have a job lobang.... my friend's friend is looking for males between arggg.. can't remember.. ppl around 21 to 25 i think.. to be research volunteers. It involves a period of 15 days stay , 4 outpatientvisits and 1 follow-up visit. It's a eat medicine- sleep- watch tv -draw blood kind of research. 2.2k for 15days stay. No side effect... contact me if interested...

I'll be going if i'm not returning to my camp. Talk about hamsters, the lab mouse job is so fitting.

tuesday

update: 1st paper on friday

I really sleep like a pig (i don't know how pigs sleep lah). The nights i'll convince myself to study for another couple of hours, then i'll sleep a min of 12 hrs away. how ah? should i start to sleep at night not?

I've found my studying method!!! I can really study in the NIE library, where all is quiet. When i'm stuck, I just need to look at the forest outside the window and relax my mind, if it doesn't bring answers, it'll bring consolation.

no title

In a team game, the most terrible thing that can happen is to be the fu*ker of the game. Your every pass gets intercepted, your every shot gets rejected, and your every movement opposes your own team members more than the opponents. And once you find yourself in tht kind of situation, you sink deeper into it. You wonder if the team will actually do better without you, and in your desperate attempts to redeem yourself, you miss more shots and lose control of the game. Yesterday i nearly became the fu*ker of the game, if not for the fact that i redeemed myself with some luck in the last few moments. I became half a fu*ker.

I don't feel abit of stress even though the exams is five days away. Last sem i did the naruto marathon during exams period, this sem i have the extended version of LOTR. The only thing that is giving me problem is LMSC. Wa lau, i'm going to have my exams soon leh..... why am i still tied down with so many things.... I know i won't study anyway lah, but worrying about anything else is the last i want to have for this difficult time. If i have to worry about something, i might as well worry about my studies.

100 pages completed, 600 more to go.

It's 5am!!! very soon the world will move away from my bro's realm, and i haven't slept a wink. My playlist repeated so many times that it irks me, but i keep it playing, cos silence irks me more. It's a near impossible task to study in front of my monitor, but it's the only place i can study. Tired and hungry, i'm trying to negate my senses with a can of nescafe.

Anyway, Lionel and I are now the dark and dust of endless(read sandman). If i am very boliao ( free and have nothing better to do) i would like to draw my own 'dustman'. I am in a storytelling mood.

The older the hairdresser, the better right????

WRONG!!!!!!

To think i gave up the younger and cuter hairdresser to Lionel, thinking at least i'll end up with better hairstyle. I still think my previous hairstyle looks better. I wanted to keep it till it's longer, if not for my dad complaining about my back. Now my front is super short and my back is still relatively much longer.

There's a war out there somewhere in the more exciting part of blogsphere. Hundreds of people involved themselves into a trivial matter between two ppl. It will be a pity if either of them gives up blogging because of the uninvited guests and the nasty comments. I'm looking forward to their next entry, even though i'm one of the uninvited guests.

Outside the eat-shit-sleep-wake-study cycle, the only thing i do now is reading other ppls blogs.
Nobody blogs about happy and funny things anymore, except for lionel.

/*-------------------------------*/

Anyone who had been to parkway's arcade will know that it was the best arcade around. The place it was once situated in now contains the foodcourt and the e-zone. Walking past the e-zone, I told lionel that arcades sadden me, hoping that he'll just nod cos i expected him to share the sentiment. Instead, he asked why, and i was caught in his question. I couldn't explain, some things just irritate in an unknown manner. Maybe it's because i feel i can never return to those days again; maybe it's because things that made me happy in the past can't please me anymore; or maybe i wasn't really happy whenever i visit the arcades in the past, being the greedy child that i was, i had probably cried for more games on every trip home, and i dislike that feeling. Glad i've grown.
