It's 1.39am. Just came back from the "Chronicles of Narnia" Charity Screening. We didn't do much ushering cos people knew where they wanted to seat (free seating) and they had enough common sense not to leave empty in between the row. Serene and I sat third row from the front, towards the extreme right of the screen. Quite uncomfortable, but the Transformers movie experience beat it to the "Worst positions to watch a movie" title (we were practically lying down and facing up to the screen). This sequel has less substance than the first movie. But it does have alot cooler scenes and it also shows that Narnians do not ALWAYS win a battle (Unless its the grand finale ;D). Prince Caspian the movie is alot darker than the previous and with LESS happy and more badass animals. Apparently this time round, mice are the size of adult men shoes in Narnia and Centaurs are Blacks. Hmmm... The fight scenes are way cooler and the cinematography is much better and more beautiful than its predecessor (Well done, Andrew Adamson. Narnia is more scenic in the Summer. The Penvensie Four are more grown up and some of them try to be too grown up. Some people get a little too bossy and egotistical. Hey, no one stays High King forever, Peter.
I liked this movie quite alot and i'm struggling to stay faithful to Speed Racer. They're equally my favourite(s). So i decided to put BOTH Speed Racer and The Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian in my "Favourite Movie(s)" list. When I watched as the credits rolled, i couldn't but help feel depressed cos its really sad that the Penvensies have to leave Narnia and well, lets just say the ultimate ending isn't going to be a happy one. (Subtle Spoiler) The Chronicles of Narnia has always left me sad as it reminds you that good things always have to come to an end and you have to go home.
Gotta snooze, have to report to school at 8am tomorrow... I MEAN, today.
Oh wait! "I left my new torch back in Narnia!"

Was suppose to meet Amanda, Jessie and Hui Xian in the morning at 7.15 at Clementi for breakfast. But i couldn't wake up on time. Was also late for Chinese Focus. After Focus, there was Chinese tuition. Argh. Intensive Chinese lessons! But I survived. Had this urge to play basketball for the entire day.
Bathed Kimchi and Udon. Cat soap and Battle scars. Kimchi was less cranky than Udon
Had dinner at Rivervalley Road. This Teo Chew restaurant. Had fish sliced soup.
They served Barley in this. Its a jar with a mug handle. Guess that's where the word Jug came from.

Parent-Teacher Meeting.
I was quite surprised about how calm my father was upon seeing my results and speaking Ms Chu. Usually he puts on this threatening tone and may raise his voice when he finds out we do badly for our exams, but he didn't. I'm a little confused now by the sudden change of attitude.

Basketball.
I really like basketball. Even if I don't score the hoops, its still fun to keep on trying. Did a lucky three pointer today. I feel a great sense of accomplishment. Haha.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Serene and I watched Indy 4 at The Cathay (next to Plaza Singapura) at 3.00pm. It's a really good fun show to watch. But it's best if you watch the first three films- Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom and Last Crusade before the 4th installment. Lots of prequel references in the movie and lots of twist. Don't let the hideous bangs fool you! Cos Cate Blanchett (included in my Top 10 characters list) was awesome in the movie. I don't know why, but i've always got a soft spot for female villains. I'm not going to give you a review about it cos they'll be spoilers. But beware! For those who watch the Indiana Jones Quadrilogy in sequence will transform into faithful Indy fans! Well done Steven Spielberg and George Lucas!

Intesive Chinese.
Going to have Chinese Focus tomorrow from 9-12. Also, Chinese tuition will be from 2-4pm after that. Urgh. This Chinese revision better be time worth spent and get me a pass for the Os!

Sorry for the violence. Teenage angst.

'Armunda' the wrestler. Amanda got the hint and tried to tell on me to her father. But it lilttle quest for petty revenge backfired and her dad ended up saying "It's quite accurate." HAHA! YEA! Her father is cool!
Amanda's second attempt for revenge. Hmmmm... Its hideous! Haha. Try harder, Amanda!
Another of Amanda's "Masterpieces". HEEHEE!

Met up with Amanda, Alex and their Dad at West Mall yesterday to watch Speed Racer. YAY! They were waiting at Mos. At first when i was on the bus, Amanda called to ask me how much longer i was going to take to reach. She said her Dad was angry and impatient, she put him on the phone.
"Hello? Yuqi, it's okay. Take your time. It's better to be safe than late. But you have to treat us to dinner. Haha." Her father with a heavy Indian accent.
"Hey! You're suppose to sound angry!" (Amanda in the background).
Haha. Plan backfired again! Try harder, Amanda!
If you were wondering whats with the ugly pictures of men with brutal physique looking tough. Alex had this little notebook which he drew his wrestlers in. Haha. He's crazy about WWE and the violence.
After the movie, I went over to Grand's to sleepover. Watched Indy 2 in the morning. I missed it when they showed it on channel 5 but my Grandpa taped it, God Bless him :D!
Went to Serene's for chinese tuition at 1pm.

Crystal Jade. Bro, Mum, Gong Gong (Birthday Boy!), Po Po, Yuqiang. (Left-Right)
At Ironman Movie Outing. Amanda kneeling.
The Mach Hotdog! Haha. Only for the best racers.
PUMA SPEED RACER SHOES!!!
ARGH! I saw them at the Puma store at Taka! They're so sweet! I want them! But they cost $175 each pair! I'm dead set on getting them with my ang bao money. I want to wait for the price to go down first but what if they're limited editions and they'll run out of stock!? Shitty! I really want them!
http://www.puma.com/speedracer/pindex.jsp
Grandpa's Birthday today. Happy Birthda Gong Gong! :D Went to Crystal Jade Palace Restaurant at Taka for a dinner celebration. There are like around 3 different types of Crystal Jade restaurants there!
Naimah's Birthday is today as well! Happy Birthday Naimah! xD Hope you like your present! Thanks for being such a bud! :)
Did badly overall for the Mids. Got 2 A2s and the rest were Bs or Cs. My sis says i've got to buck up and start studying. Argh. Studying is such a pain.
Amanda said if she were working, she'd buy me 'em handy dandy Speed Racer shoes. =) Thanks, Amanda!

Pretty smart shit. Haha.
To all Bullimics out there. Here's the painful truth.
I'm trying to GET RID of mine! Haha.
"Pancakes, are love!"
The mermaid is cute. Heh.

Yay! Cyanide and Happiness! :D
I didn't do so well for the Mids. Failed chinese... AGAIN! (Shaun of the Dead Reference) I'm beginning to get really concerned. The G.C.E. "O" Level MTL papers are just approximately 12 days away. Argh.

Some people really get on my nerves.

Movie Marathon! XD
Ironman and Speed Racer are really good! Ironman had this whole rockish and i-don't-care-attitude going on and Speed Racer was a more of a mix of retro-plasticky-flashy-happy-yet-sad-action. I think they both deserve 3 1/2 stars. However, i've got a soft spot in my heart for larger than life toy car movies with a good ol' matrix swirl to it. :D
The day was pretty long. Met up with Naimah first to collect the tickets. Followed by Amanda, then the rest. We had little time to commune before the movie. Jin's brother tagged along. He's somehow less cute than i imagined. Maybe its cos he's called "Huggy(?)" for short. Heh. Yamunna and Simin were late. But just in time for a little of the movie trailers and ads before the movie. Held everyone back for the after-the-credits extra. BIG BIG revealation. But i don't think everyone got it. Must be cos of the lack of Marvel knowledge. Took one quick group photo before letting Jin, Jon and the rest to rush of to whatever plans they had after. Naimah, Jennifer and I sped off to watch Speed Racer.
So satisfied. First movie marathon in theatres. I hope those who came today had fun. But like i said, it could've been more fun if we had more time before the movie to play.
Thanks all for coming!

4E1 Ironman Movie Outing tomorrow. Half the class is going. Oh well. Kinda excited. Going to watch Speed Racer after the Ironman movie. YEAH! MOVIE MARATHON!!! XD
I'm considering to get a Nitendo DS. I know its childish, but its a pretty cool gadget. Anyway, the Speed Race Videogame is only on Wii and DS. Heh. I also want to get the Speed Racer hotwheels. The one with the transparent Mach 4 and Mach 6 set and Taejo's car (but i can't find it anywhere!)
Got new shoes today with my mum. Its white, red and silver. I could've picked the white, black and silver one which looked alot cooler. But I chose the red one cos its a kind of Speed Racer tribute. Haha. Yes, i'm obsessed.
Jonathan said that Cloverfield rocked. Haha. YES! I SOOO TOLD YOU SO! Those who've missed out this awesome movie, please go rent or buy the dvd asap (when its on sale). Its something you don't really have to watch in theatres cos its a 'video' anyway. Heh.
Let's hope tomorrow's a BLAST! MAHHA GOGOGO!

MIDS ARE OVER! OVER OVER OVER! O-V-E-R, ADIOS AMIGO!
Haha. A Math was reasonably challenging. Gave up for the Geometrical Proofs. Did really get the last question about the graph thing. Guess its true, what my tuition teacher says. You got to practice and work hard to get the A1 you deserve. :/ Chinese was its normal 'What-the-hell-is-this?-Aiya-just-copy-the-entire-sentence-or-pick-whatever-you-think-looks-good' difficulty. Kinda let Lady Luck have a go at it. Its too troublesome for me to even read the passage when i know i'm not going to understand it entirely, which takes up quite a fair bit of time. Had 30 minutes left after completing the paper (didn't leave any question left unanswered this time. Kinda felt a sense of accomplishment. Haha.) so i just doodled Speed Racer all over the cover page of the question booklet.
Suppose to watch Speed Racer today. But people just couldn't make it. Angry at Jin not because he didn't want to watch the movie (that only made me slightly disappointed) but for the fact that he didn't reply my smses or even call to tell me the night that i smsed. I just get really annoyed when they tell me on the day itself and i have not enough time to thing of doing something else worthy of my time. Jonathan is another person who fails to reply his smses. When you know he doesn't want to come, he'll ignore ALL your smses and phone calls and apologise to you the next day. I mean, GOD! Can't you just pluck up what ever courage is left in you to sms a reason why you don't want or can't or are not going? Jonathan is starting to get it, he's starting to reply saying he can't go because of so and so or what and what. Polite boy, isn't he? Let's hope Jin gets it too. Well, this is just my point of view. They may have valid reasons for not replying, AT LEAST they apologised.
The guys had this sports marathon thing, suggested by Alvin. I think its pretty cool, but i don't seek solace in indulging myself in long hours of straineous activities with other actively guys like myself. Too big the crowd. Saw Alvin's brothers- Eric and Daniel. All of them don't look like siblings at all!
Went to Vivo with Charmaine, Jennifer, Nicholas Chung and Shaula. Ate at Sake Sushi which ripped a whole in my pocket. Each person had to pay $18.75! Damn you rising cost of rice! We should've eaten at Superdogs! After that, we went to raid Toys 'r' us. When the fun ended, we sent Shaula to the interchange. Went back to Vivo to do some DVD shopping. Took 61 back home with Charmaine, while Jenn and Nicholas went to the interchange.
Dropped off at Jelita. Met up with Jessie who just bought a slice of cake at Secret Recipe. Did some swinging and talked to her. Its nice to just talk to someone about stuff and they have a neutral point of view. She said she watched Speed Racer at Vivo today. She said it was okay. Storyline is alright whereas she thought it was too colourful and fake. But that's what the Wachowski Brothers are trying to create. An anime-ish look to it to retain its Orgin's values- Maha Go Go!. Oh well. Its all on personal opinion. I'm not going to have high expectations for the movie, giving it a well deserved 3 1/2 stars, but i'm going to enjoy every bit of the Wachowski Brother's creativity, passion and kick-ass CGI manipulation skills! Hell Yea!
Excited about- Speed Racer! The Dark Knight! The Fall! Accuracy of Death!

Reference:
Beastiality is when a man fornicates an animal. Preferably dogs or horses.
Thought this was cool and real touching. I'm such a softie. :')

Learning Physics now. I must pass! I must pass!
Chemistry paper today was crappy shit. Didn't know what the hell was going on. It's as if i've never learned Chemistry before. May borderline pass it or fail.

However, no need to pull the long faces! Read Cyanide and Happiness! :D
http://www.explosm.net/comics/1268/
Jeffrey first introduced these gold nuggets of fun, joy, laughter and sadiscity. Neil doesn't get them. But i practically laugh my toes of at most of them. Heh. Maybe cos Neil is too innocent and nice.
Highly recommended for those in need of a good time! :D

Gotta return to Physics.

Monday, May 05, 2008

Wow. History went quite smoothly. Not well, but smoothly. Yay. However for A Math, didn't know how to do 3 questions (which i kinda knew how to solve AFTER the paper). That totals up to a lost of 11 marks (not including mistakes). ARGH. Studied for Physics but it went so slowly that i kinda gave up. Stopped at Kinematics. It's really difficult. I can't understand! Why? Why? Why? Going to do Chemistry (something i'm more confident in) revision later.
On a happier note, the Golden Compass 2 Disc DVD Platinum Edition has been finally shipped. ETA: June. But i doubt it'll take that long. Most likely alot sooner, just like Serene's Hot Fuzz 3 Disc DVD Edition. Beginning to enjoy ordering items on Amazon. You should to! Why?
1 Items may be cheaper!
2 Items that you want may not be sold in sunny Singapore!
3 Its lots of fun!
However, not all items on Amazon are for International Shipping. So you can just drool over the images on the web but never get it delivered to your door step. =/
ALSO! The Speed Racer Movie is showing in theatres as of THIS thursday! JOYGASMIC! You may catch me doing "Tim Bisley's (Spaced) Happy Dance" in the examination hall after the last paper on that day! You're all welcome to join! We'll dance between the roles of tables in synchronised movements and mask ourselves with big spastic grins and smiles! Just like what Serene and I depicted last Sunday, but that was for on the last paper of the O levels. Haha.
"It's going to be a bumpy ride!"
IRONMAN Movie Outing will still most probably be THIS friday (09/05), even though Combined Science Peeps have their paper next Monday. Think of it as a rewarding experience for the past 2 weeks of exams. A group of us will/may also watch Speed Racer afterward! JOYJACULATION!

Sunday, May 04, 2008

Yippideedooda! I can't find my History textbook. Its 10pm. Haven't done an iota of revision on History cos i had so many things to do. When i finally have time to revise, my textbook is missing! SHITTY PIECE OF CRAP! I'm destined to fail. I'm destined to fail. I'm destined to fail.

I feel lighter now. Must be cos i cleared all that load on my table.
"ALL RACERS TO YOU CARS, PLEASE. ALL RACERS TO YOUR CARS. THE FINAL COUTDOWN HAS BEGUN..."
COUNTDOWN: 4 MORE DAYS!

Saturday, May 03, 2008

Father made me clear my table. Now i've got heaps of stuff and not sure wear to put them. They used to sit happily on the desk but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO my father had to threaten me to clear it and stuff it in some dark hole so my table looks neater. Dress to impress. God, i hate him and his ethics!

Okay! Back from Orchard!
Jonathan was completely uncontactable, as if he just evaporated from the face of the Earth. But he'll most likely be in school tomorrow. Then we'll see how fast he can evaporate before i hit him for being so rude! Heh.
So it was just Serene and I. The Speed Racer thing was disappointing. The Speed Racer and Race X look-a-likes were far from looking like the characters. They were both malay and the fake Racer X guy was fat. COME ON! Couldn't you at least hire caucasians!? Disappointed. Also! The Speed Racer wasn't wearing his signature helmet! The round one with a sleek 'M' on the front. The guy wore a motocycle helmet for pete's sake! Serene and I were to disgusted and embarrassed to even approach them to demand for the freebies, let alone take a picture with them for it. So we just did Video Store Surfing. Its fun. Still waiting to get The Golden Compass 2 Disc Platinum Edition DVD and the Cloverfield DVD. Might also consider getting the Transformers DVD, but the second hand ones they sell at Gramophone. But i guess not everyone is willing to let go of such a cool movie. You selfish pigs! Let the other selfish pigs have a go with the fun! Haha.
Doing Math now. Or WAS doing Math and will continue after this post.
Literature and E Math paper 1s tomorrow.
"Move it, Speed! It's getting ugly out there!"
I want to get Speed Racer Merchandise! XD

You can get to meet Speed Racer and Racer X TODAY at GV Marina or GV Plaza and 5pm and 6pm respectively. You can also take pictures with them and get free posters and a key ring! :D
But the trouble is, i've got tuition today from 5-7pm at Bishan. Shitty. May move my tuition. This is a once in a life time opportunity (meeting the characters and getting free merchandise, i mean. Not postponing tuition)!
Going to meet Jin now at Clementi MRT to borrow his E Math textbook.
