Yesterday i went back to nus early in the morning to go get my fujitsu laptop, priced 2591+ after the upgrade. It was kind of a rushing day because i came back home around 2pm. Then i had to go tidy up my room that is filled with stuff from the matric package(10 bucks). The matric package comes with redundant stuff aplenty. Stuff like mascara, the foundation, some weirdo stuff here and there. But wait a minute, I love those vouchers. Hmmm let me see, they have partyworld voucher,they have hair salon 30 bucks vouchers, they have Yoshinoya vouchers, they have some other vouchers too.
As i am typing this, my house or rather the corridors are bombarded with such full force of that torrents of rain, that i am trapped here to type up this entry before heading off to SIM LIM Square to get the router and ethernet card. I need those stuff for chuantian to come later to set up the network for me. Net sharing.
ALright, yesterday evening met up with primary school frens for gathering. We met in orchard mrt. There were a couple of them whom i had never met ever since primary school days, yet they look so familiar. Of coz, not to mention Felicia lar. Everywhere we go, strangers juz pointed at her and wonder, "hey isn't that felicia chin from tcs8?". I am pretty impressed by that humility in her despite her acceleration to the "star world". One thing worth mentioning was her dress sense and make up had somewhat improved tremendously. I always found her kind of tom boyish back then, but now i ought take back those thoughts of mine.
Anyway, that aside, there is this xue hui who was freaking irritating throughtout our dinner at the Heerens NYDC. She keep bitching here and there, slapping guys(including myself) on the backs, pinching guys who make sarcastic remarks, and whimpering in such a infant-like mannerism that i was so astonished that she was exactly herself back in primary six. My goodness...
Let me quote you what she said, "wa zhongxian, you got earring ah, aiyo why put earring ah, only my dear dear can put hor...last time thought you like to read books one, how come how dun really already is it, now become ah beng liao right?"
Let me reiterate, this gal is simply beyond any hope of redemption.
Hmmm nice to catch up with the rest of them though. Then we talked about how our bedok town primary school had now levelled to a flat piece of land for birds to feed on and shit on.

Sometimes i wonder if good frens should really study together. Sometimes i wonder if the opening of sch marks something defining for me, or juz dreary kind of thing that i am forcing myself to look forward to.
I am not sayingt that i am going to be indifferent towards preparations or stuff like that. But perhaps being out of those orientation stuff is kind of normal to me. The engin club today told us that there were only around 500 places for ppl who are interested in joining the orientation week which priced at 16 bucks. Money is of coz not the issue.
If you ask me, I will thought that the orientation week comprises the literally orientation itself, walking thru the engin compound, the useful printing room, library bla bla bla. What the engin club advertised were like, sentosa, fun games..bla bla.
May be i am juz anti social or living like a recluse i dun care. I am stilll going to take up some CCA, yet i am juz not into those social events stuff. I can make frens easily =)
Tmr i will still have to go for some stupid revision lectures. I was kind of "persuaded" by Lip tong. SOmetimes i wonder why lip tong wanted to go for the lecture in the first place. I photostated the notes from him today since i dun have the printer myself.
THursday will be matriculation day while friday is another maths lecture. SIan...boring.

Today marked the day i stepped into the world of international cuisines in Paris Tampines Mall. Alright, my mum, both my brothers and i went to tampines to help leon make his specs at optical 88. In the end we settled with this promotion package of his specs at 119. Jim and i shared the cost of coz, as a gift to leon. Even so, we kept reminding him to take really good care of his specs (the cost is one main factor of coz) as well as to ask him not to keep spending his inordinate amount of time on watching tv and using pc. His eyesight had indeed worsen to 300 and 250. My second brother also went to make his plastic specs for his enlistment which is nearing the corner.
Well, as usual, tampines is packed like sardines, especially since the "food festival" thingy is on, and stalls were set up almost everywhere.
We went around tampines mall and century square, basically for my mum's sake, who had seldom shopped in these 2 malls. For me..i am juz so sian. Nevertheless, we went to have our dinner at paris restaurant.
First of all, i dunno wat to do when i was inside the restaurant. The waiter and waitresses are all non- chinese speaking and their english is so incoherent that i got much problem trying to understand what they are trying to tell me. The fortunate thing was some of the assistant chefs are pretty fluent with their chinese and told me that the seafood over there are all cold dishes that were COOKED. I saw so much ice cubes on those food, that i forgot that RED PRAWNS mean that they are COOKED. I took those prawns and crayfish(brown in colour) and brought them to the bbq corner to ask the chef to bbq for me. The chef was gesturing here and there with his chunks of english and told me that he could only heat them up for me. I said, "anything".
My mum then told me that the prawns are red, and asked me how come i wanted to "cook them". I covered up my embarrassment by saying that, "oh...i dun like the prawns to be so cold, so i ask the chef to go heat them up."
Yes indeed, i made a complete fool of myself today in that restaurant. So, being the crappy me, I keep guessing the country of origin for those waiters and waitresses. 3 countries rose in back in my mind, namely, Vietnam, Thailand or Myanmar. I am confident they are from Myanmar. Why, coz they look like my myanmar fren. HAHA. Rubbish logic i noe.
I kept feeding myself with food and food. With sharkfin and tom yam soup, ice -cream.. bla bla. I guess this was really the best time for me to demonstrate that inherent gluttony in me.
I was so FULL at the end of that feat i demonstrated. My family and i took some pics together and we left the place, satiated to the brim.

Today went to meet ronglun for lunch, as well as to pass him back the FRIENDS vcd. Ronglun chatted with me about his involvement in the Faculty club, and how is painstakingly building the float of theirs. Can tell that he is really putting up some challenges for himself, perhaps some leadership roles in his faculty. He also mentioned about how one should really forked up time for some other activities other than seriously, mugging away in that dreadful campus.
I guess uni life could be dreadful, dull,ennui, if we want it to be. It's all about choices, isn't it?
Told linda and a couple of my frens that i might be interested in joining NUS acapella group. Happy that many had supported that idea. My gd pals ronglun and linda were one of those. =)
Altogether are 3 acapella groups and i am thinking of watching some of their performances before making up my mind. My frens in 3rd year dissuade me from joining NUS choir coz they suck. He sent me a clip of their singing via MSN. Erm...it was really horrendous. Nothing comparable to vjc choir. =) I guess ACjc and Vjc were good choirs coz they were both led by Nelson Kwei. Wat a prominent guy in the international scene.
Today went to National Library with Lip tong and chuantian. Lip tong was so into taking pictures that he wanted me to bring my digi cam next tue to go back national library and take pictures there. I do agree that something was the architecture is pretty interesting. I especially like that small little greenery garden at one of the floors. Anyway, the library is so high up, to the 14th floor i think. We saw alot of familiar skyscrapers up there and it was really a beautiful but not breaktaking enough scene. =P
Chuan tian today also explained to me about how the wireless works, and also how i can get the Ethernet to work. I got this Ethernet modem which is left untouched coz my pc doesn't have any ethernet card inside. Hmm i shall settle all this once i settle with my notebook.
Cheers.

Today Pearly from agency called me to ask me if next week i am free for some job assignment. I told her that on the 26 and 28 i am most probably not available.
As you know, Pearly is a regular customer of my dad's cab. I told her that if she got any lobang for weekends she can let me know. She then replied,
" Aiya, i know lar, u are saving money for laptop right?"
I said, "how come come you noe?"
She then replied, "Of coz lar, your dad ask me to look out for any cheap laptop for you lor."
I said, "serious ah?"
Oh well..dunno wat is running thru my brain now. That hatred that sometimes i had against him is now diminished...

Do you noe how VULGAR elderly ppl can be at times? I remember those chinese new year visits that my family had at my only grandma's house in aljunied. And then my ah ma will talk about some updates with my relatives on my father's side. Her words were all punctuate with chee bye, lan jiao, all kinds of vulgarites.
I sat by one side, trying to hide those giggles that could burst into laughing fits anytime. Hmm, my mum told me that most elderly ppl who are hokkiens are usually very vulgar, not with any ill-intentions of coz.
Part of their culture...i see..
Sometimes you watch in shows how grandparents can be so endearing to you, and how they played such a critical role in childhood, or even those early infanthood. Maybe i had blogged about this before, i am not sure. Now all that i had left of is my paternal grandma. The rest had gone away, to some place.
My dad asked to go visit my grandma whenever i am free. THe problem lies with the kind of stuff that can come out of my mouth when i see her. I was never close to her. ANd she doesn't speak mandarin. And my hokkien is like PANG SAI lor. OR worse still LAO SAI.
One thing worth mentioning was that when i was enlisted into the army, my ah ma gave me a hongbao. My dad keep reminding me of this gesture from her. This reminder soon become a constant nagging.

Soon, my youngest brother's birthday is coming. And since his myopia is deteriorating, my mum suggested that my second brother and i shared funds in making a new specs for him.
Ever since my little bro Leon had stepped into the world of TEENhood, he had been a vainpot himself.
I was using my desktop for a moment when leon come and ask me if he should use WAX or GEL. Hmmm i seriously don't remember anything about wax or gel when i was his age. WAIT, i am not saying that we had a generation gap coz I AM NOT THAT OLD.
He make comments like " i think my hair look better when i juz get out of my bed".
BOth jim and i couldn't stand that specs on his face. So this coming sunday, his 2 GOOD brothers are going to make a new specs for him. ANywa his birthday is on the 29, one day after my matriculation.
Leon's sch, bedok north secondary school told all the students that they HAD to find a traditional costume to wear today. Hmm today is racial harmony day. I was shocked to see him come back today with this malay costume that was loaned to him by his teacher.
Let me see, a school has so many students. How on earth is the school going to provide for so many students. Wat? Guiness world of record ah? Bo liao lor.
ALright today is racial harmony day. Let's RACe together to HARrp on how little MONY we have compared to some MPs. =P
I remember something about Angelina Jolie besides her sausage lips. WAT is so nice about her lips? YEW. Anyway i remember her adopting this cambodian boy, and now she is adopting this african girl. She mentioned something about having the mergence of all different cultures and religions into one family thingy. I wonder wat makes her want to adopt kids from this developing nations.Bread Pig better dun be a racist then. =P

Yes attention to ladies and gentleman. I happened to read this blog, Talk Rock: Singapore newspapers is like gangster
FREAKING FUNNY. But one thing to note: Don't even bother to read, if u cannot tahan vulgarites and some obscenities. No nudity dun worry.
THis guy, whoever he is, discussed about various currrent issues with his own perceptions. Very skin-deep perceptions, yet with this heavy local hokkien flavour. I must disagree on his reference to many sexual insinuation though.
About to doze off like one of my fren online now. But this freak-out guy make me laugh with his essays. All english teachers will die of stroke if they happen to read his blog.

Hmm I had realised that i had forgotten to blog about SIN CITY. Hmm hopefully by linda's birthday this movie will stil be hanging around. Yes, she promised something.
Anyway, this movie is somewhat gross...coz when i was watching it, a couple actually had to leave the cinema half way through. I do agree that this movie had been one of the most violent ones that i had ever watched through a cinema.
But then again, the "black-white" scenes somewhat had toned down the violence that could have been worse in actual colours.
The plot is crap. I can roughly tell that they actually cut and paste from the comic. Coz there were many nonsensical scenes which go against any rationalism.
But i did enjoy sitting through this movie coz of the visual effects and colours which are so unique. Never before had i seen this kind of movie where characters seem to be frozen in time, and even so unreal that everything is juz so imaginary.
Frens, if u wan to go watch this movie, try not to bring ur brains along. Erm, and u muz be able to tolerate dismembered parts of bodies, nudity (R21 DUH).
The movie did lived up to its name, SIN city. Oh boy, i love Jessica Alba (anyway she isn't nude inside the movie).

I have never been slacker then this week before. Turning in at 12 after perusing my Dean Koontz, then waking up at very "anti wee" hours. Erm like 11am? Erm if that is not late enough, then i duno wat is late. I guess this is the best opportunity for me to slack before any nightmare sets in. Soon enough.
Yesterday met up with lim teh and now her turn to treat me to something. Ohya, not to mention our fateful encounter with LAMBO, enhui. Hmm i believed and i admitted that it was a mistake to call out her name, erm, right infront of her face.
What comes next, something so expected, something i know will come one day, but never sooner than yesterday evening. Ya, enhui starts to scold me lor, under the mockery of LINDA. Oh well, lim teh had no other defence shield for me too.
I have frens who feel that i am being cold blooded, being unempathetic about wat is going on with my jc mates or even shunning the whole idea of catching up with frens. Frens who thinks that it's all within the realms of possiblity that we can all catch up with every single good pals in ur life. Ya right.
Never in my dictionary anyway. I can't afford to attend all the gatherings, as everything lies in the matter of choices and decisions.
And i guess everything still goes back to my priority in spending. The same reason goes to why i can't afford to go to every single 21st birthday chalet, or for that matter, giving every birthday boy or gal some gifts. Whatever.
Hope that someday indifference could really get the better of me. Or even overwhelmed my senses that i can dun care about anything. Hai...but i guess that is juz not me.

A rainy day can be pretty stimulating. That i can really sleep snugly underneath those comforters yet i had chosen to be infront of this computer. Today is running day, and i think i should be fully recharged for the run later. Afterall i sinfully slept till 11am today. Yesterday i was really very disgusted by the uninteresting storyline in the incredible tales. It was simply a complete "BOO!". As usual UTT VJ was the host, and there is this psychologist at the end of the show who would discussed about the scientific explanation for those apparitions, with the whole purpose of dimissing any true elusion to real ghosts. I am kind of looking forward to the next episode. Looks pretty cool to me.
My online pen pal from germany who was an actor/singer in Les Miz in Berlin was telling me about this term called "counter tenors". I went to Yahoo to look up on this term with a deluge of links about this term. Apparently, falsetto wasn't something unusual and that there were pretty alot of prominent counter tenors in our modern history. I guess my this fren was telling me to juz sing how i sing and not be affected by any stigma or any un-flattering comments from people. I don't know, though i had been singing falsetto ever since in primary school performing in solo in choir "somewhere over the rainbow". In secondary school i pursue CO though i did join the choir initially.
Seth told me in his Le Miserables cast, there were a couple of countertenors. In choirs, usually countertenors are either put with the female altos or sopranos. SOunds cool.

Yesterday morning 10am. Zixian,ailing,angelina,lip tong, chuantian and jianheng, and of course myself went back to NASS to visit some of our teachers. The night before i sms Mrs Sim about our visit and she told us her lesson will end at 1040am while the following lesson after that would be at 1140. Thus i guess we could catch hold of her during that time lapse.
We walked around, chatted with the auntie at the photostating shop, who could actually named my name and recognise Jianheng. I also noticed that the PE t-shirt had been changed to another colour, some white shirt with dark blue prints on the sleeve i think.
We met mrs sim on our way to the classroom block and she told us to meet her at the library to talk. In addition to that, we also bounce into Mdm lee (the back- look -qio- but- front- like- GUI teacher). Not only that, i was so happy to still see mrs pong around, and she could only remember my "xian". Alright, i think it's good enough. Miss Gan, that easily being eaten up teacher, was in the lab teaching some students too.
We had a great chat with mrs sim inside the computer room inside the library. She updated us with aplenty stuff of the school and the environment, and how the sch was furious about what Maia lee had mentioned in the papers about NASS. THat the school was boring and stifling, with nothing for motivation.
We then headed for MRs teh. That was when the nightmare came as fast as the lightning could hit you. That 2 monsters who stood infront of the General office, ever ready to snap at us once we reached that exact point marked by them. Mr ong the OM, as well as the Mr Sim.
Mr ong, in his adamant tone, questioned our presence in the school, and was offended by Zixian's rudeness of saying "Why cannot?".
First of all, mr ong told us he could jolly chase us out if he wanted to (playing good guy), and that we have no right to walk about in the school creating disturbances to the students. The latter point, though i agree to some extent, i do not think that we had intruded the school to disturb the students. We were in fact "roaming" about during the intervals between lessons and not during lessons.
ALright, there is this guard house thingy at the entrance of the school. I represented the rest of my frens to signed in for one visitor pass. Now, the whole idea of having that control point is to issue visitor pass to valid visitors is being defeated since our presence was being questioned so adamantly. So wats with the visitor pass? Fashion statement? Oh pls.
NOw u might have sensed some angst in me while i am typing this. The reason is simple, Mr ong not only stopped at juz that. He went on to ask us where exactly we were heading off at that point in time. We told him that we are going to the canteen for lunch. He replied with a strong sense of aloofness, "who give u the permission to go to the canteen and have lunch?"
At the end of the affrontation, our high spirits were seriously dampened and whatever memories we were holding on to were like suddenly put on hold. Nobody wanted to say anyting except for Zixian.
Of course, we were unhappy with mr ong's attitude. Very. Yet for me, i can't be bothered, coz i came here to see mrs sim, and perhaps mrs teh. From the looks of it, the school is not welcoming us back, and i think the guard house should be torn down.
Zixian wanted to write a letter to moe, which most of the rest had agreed upon. Well...i am lamenting how the school had now become in such status quo, a breeding ground for brutes who had no sense of courtesy, no sense of discipline, as well as no sense of regard for any teachers.
Hai..all the best then..

Euphoria. One word that filled my day today. Only music can claim that euphoria for me. I finally got hold of 2 songs that i had always wanted. Inside your heaven by Carrie underwood, as well as Corrinne may cd. Jon is always that good with finding songs with his Emule. So every song that i asked him to find, he always completed the task effortlessly. Cheers.
Feel kind of relieved that work is finally over and i have come to any stagnancy. Yesterday was at ngee ann city, which was sardine-packed with gluttons. Yes, gluttons. Gluttons who can't wait to get hold of the food in the food fair at Taka. Sorry, but count me out. No matter how delicious they are.
Went to orchard library again to look my programming book. And i found it!...The reason was because i can't finish reading it and i have renewed it b4. The library can't allow me to renew more than 2 times i think. So in the end i chunk it in tampines library and hopefully they will put it back to the original position in orchard. As usual, it was still placed snugly there.
As usual i got myself a horror story book by Dean Koontz.
Tmr some of our 4a members are going back nass for gathering. I wonder who are the ppl who can turn up. Kind of last min i agree, but i never really intend to plan a big one...coz i noe alot can't make it. Many are working ma.
I think better do some planning about this coming week.

I somehow realised how selfish sometimes i can be. 2 of my close frens had told me the same thing. Give that 100 to your dad.
Received a msg from edwin, "sometimes you give without even knowing whether they landed up with a good cause or not, give your dad, juz as form of respect."
LInda also told me that perhaps my dad this time really neeed it pay off some urgent stuff.
I guess it's never easy for a father to ask his son for some money. Yet he had said it, and i have rejected him up front with no qualm at all.
Study until i am sick of the adv theory. Was doing my crunches juz now. I read that Usher maintained his washboard bod by doing 1000 crunches a day. Sounds a bit chimerical to me. That can't be true...

I am pretty saddened by a few stuff. I am saddened that my dad hanged up the phone on me when i rejected his request to borrow 100 from me.
I told him i need the money for my uni allowance. I am juz so speechless. I didnt' wan things to turn out this way, yet it did happened.
I am pretty sure no one will offer to provide my allowance while i am in uni. Then wat? Tuition lor. But can i really cope? Bus fares, and expenses in Uni?
All these questions are habouring some plans to wreak havoc in my brain. I brainwashed myself into thinking things can work out. Nothing is impossible with God.
May be i am being unfilial? Coz my brother gave them 200 per month while i didn't? Yet can filial piety be measured in these tangible terms?
I am angry and i pray that this anger can diminish from me. i am angry coz he is my father who is supposed to be in charge of giving me education and making me worry-free from the financial burdens. Yet tables are turned around. My mum had become the matriach of this family who solely pay for the housing loan, as well as the 20% of my fees.
Things that he had happened
in the past had betrayed that trust all of my family members had in him.
Thinking about the final episode of desperate housewife further saddened my day today. Rex is dead. The reaction of Bree was simply nothing comprehensible easily. No matter how strong she appeared and tried to be, he always a woman who need the security of a husband who can cherish and shared her life till eternity. Her husband died believing that it was Bree who indirectly caused the debilitation of his heart condition.
THe season finale is a HUGE cliffhanger.
NKF...hai....something so close to our heart since we always seen the donation cards and the tv charity shows. What are the responses of the celebrities.? I am plain curious.
Recently come across this phrase "morbid curiosity". Some locals are juz curious to see how the dismembered Hong Mei looked like. Halo, remember that she is being dismembered? Isn't that horrendous enough?

Yesterday went for an army gathering in the evening at Amiran restaurant. A hala eating place juz opposite Parco. Altogether there were 16 of us and as usual there were the notorious late-comers who somehow dragged their 15 min late to an hour late. Amazing isn't it.
We had some western dishes and i got myself a spaghetti. We had quite a load of stuff to catch up with one another. As usual the Lawrence and Guo ting yi never failed in their ceaseless seamless bickering. And their voices can stretch as loud as u can imagine. Loud enough to make the rest of us turned our heads over.
As usual, those going uni will talk about upcoming matriculation and school, stuff to do before matriculation. While those from poly will talk about their job, some about how they make pills at home, since they had been jobless for a almost half a year. (not that they well to do or wat...but i dunno). SOme discussed the hilarious encounters when they went clubbing, and as usual about some crude issues regarding gals.
After the meals we went to C.A.N cafe which was among the shophouses. Then ordered beers lor. I had this called Hoegarden. 500ml. Hmm taste quite fruitty to me, not too strong also. THen we talk and talk lor. Then my buddy and PS(platoon sgt) offer to send a few of us staying in tamp and bedok back home. Yeap. back home around 1230am. Was really pinned down by fatigue.

I want someone to save me...rescue me
Save me - Corrinne May
I drift I burn, I fly
When you sing lullabies
I'm helpless, I'm yearning
I'm like putty in your hands
I laugh, I dream, I cry
When you take me on a rollercoaster ride
You see me through and through
You see just who I am
Just take my hand and
Save me from this place
Heaven knows I'm falling
For you, my sweet embrace
Heaven knows Heaven knows
I've been waiting for you
I had a dream that I
Was falling from the sky
At 90 miles an hourI was bound to crash and die
But out of nowhere you came and rescued me
There must be some grace in the touch of your face
I'm so happy that I've found you
I'm no longer afraid
Oh 'cause you
Save me from this place Heaven knows I'm falling
For you my sweet embrace
Heaven knows
Heaven knows I've been waiting
Before I met you
Life was slow-mo
So slow-mo
I thought I had it figured out
But you came and turned my whole world upside down
Save me from this place
Heaven knows I'm falling
For you, my sweet embrace
Heaven knows
Heaven knows you've come to
Save me from this place
Heaven knows I'm falling
For you, my sweet embrace
Heaven knows
Heaven knows I've been waiting for you
Waiting for you

Today is monday and yesterday my parents came back from their genting trip. Mum is on leave today, so i took half day leave from work to go to DBS Bedok with her to procure the nus bank loan. The procedures were pretty simple and less of a hassle than i had expected. After my mum and I went to walk walk within the bedok area and also Ntuc to get some groceries. Bought chicken,ducks,milk, chocolate, pork,hash brown..bla bla. Finally settle the bank loan thingy. The deadline is 15 still far away i know. Juz wannna get the thing done and over with.
Today at work the "VIP" from korea,japan and thailand came for a training seminar.THere is this cleaning lady who is very chatty TODAY. Keep talking to me about she need to supervise his primary 5 kid on his studies and she keep asking me how to study for good results. General question again...sian. I am not born smart or neither am i smart at the moment. I guess ppl juz assume once u step into NUS you are juz one of those elite, a cute above the rest.
Recently, peruse about some issues highlighted in the straits times. The ever widening gap between the wealthy and that impecunious ppl. Ppl see the professionals as a elite class and putting ppl from the factory, doing cleaning job as another class, something not that prestigious. Then ppl started to talk about how to bridge this gap and how ppl from this elite class should be interacting with those from the other classes. Well we are moulded to be like wat, ever since we started schooling in PAP kindergarten. Meritocracy wat...you do well you climb higher...that is how things work isn't it? Is all about choices and choices and choices. No such thing as dumb and stupid. It's all a matter of whether you want to work for it.
Yesterday watched Artificial Intelligence on Channel 5. An old show, yes i am aware of that, but i hadn't really got the chance to watch the show. This time round i only watched 3/4 of the show. I missed the first part. Hmmm ok lar, not too bad, though the ending is a little bit of bizzare.
I also watched the NKF Cancer foundation charity show. I watched only the part about these kids who were infected with cancer, and some got to amputate their legs. As little 10 yrs old, and they had to face and struggle with this illness. Very depressing to see the kid cry...esp when you thought that they were too young to understand what the sickness is about. Haiz. Stupid Adam's fault, to take the forbidden fruit and bestowed this kind of misery upon us.
Finally, Carrie underwood "Inside your Heaven" (full single version) is released and aired on radio. I heard it over class 95 today. At least this time round, we dun have the irritating sounds of the screaming fans. SHould switch off the electricity to these fans.

This pic needless to say is one which give a tingling sensation down one's spine. However at certain times, the aliens are pretty cute...hehe.

I kind of like this pic from the movie. I watched this morning at marina. Good that there is little ppl so that i dun have weaved my way thru the crowd. This movie is simply a breath-taker. Love it SO MUCH. I find that this movie is more of a thriller rather than a sci-fic movie. I was so spellbound thru out, waiting to find out what the outcome was. However, the outcome is a disappointment. Tim robbins, has a really destestable character inside.
