im very much of a movie fan perhaps some of you might know. any movies that looks nice to me i will sure to catch it. right, so i went to watch the gridiron gang with my classmates yesterday after school. as usual, we went to westmall for the show. our usual place for movies after school. during the show, something happened. halfway through the show, the lights lit up when the show wasn't over yet. i thought probably was a mistake by the maintenance or something. then soon after, the screen went into total blank when it was at the exciting moment. everyone in the theatre was like "what the fcuk is happening". a few secondary student went to told the person in charge and we sat in the theatre for a few minutes before the movie was resume again. my advise to people out there, don't go westmall to catch mvoeis anymore.
so this show is about a Juvey detention camp officer Sean Porter (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) and his friend Malcolm Moore (Xzibit) turn a group of teen felons into a football team in four weeks. Confronted with gang rivalries between his teammates, Porter teaches the former thugs self-respect and responsibility. i think this show is based on a true story. i give it a 3 out of 5 bites. rugby players will love this show.

blood diamond!
nothing much has happen lately thats why i didn't blog for the past few days. well, nothing special today either just that i went to catch blood diamond.actually we end school at 5 for today but all of decided to skip the last 2 hours lesson for the show. come on, we don't do this all the time, just feeling mischief today =P anyway, for those who have not watch blood diamond, this is what the movie is about.(took it from the main website for the blood diaomond).its quite a nice show.my rate for this show is 3.5 out of 5.
Set against the backdrop of the chaos and civil war that enveloped 1990s Sierra Leone, "Blood Diamond" is the story of Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio), an ex-mercenary from Zimbabwe, and Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou), a Mende fisherman. Both men are African, but their histories and their circumstances are as different as any can be until their fates become joined in a common quest to recover a rare pink diamond, the kind of stone that can transform a life...or end it.
Solomon, who has been taken from his family and forced to work in the diamond fields, finds the extraordinary gem and hides it at great risk, knowing if he is discovered, he will be killed instantly. But he also knows the diamond could not only provide the means to save his wife and daughters from a life as refugees but also help rescue his son, Dia, from an even worse fate as a child soldier.
Archer, who has made his living trading diamonds for arms, learns of Solomon's hidden stone while in prison for smuggling. He knows a diamond like this is a once-in-a-lifetime find—valuable enough to be his ticket out of Africa and away from the cycle of violence and corruption in which he has been a willing player.
Enter Maddy Bowen (Jennifer Connelly), an idealistic American journalist who is in Sierra Leone to uncover the truth behind conflict diamonds, exposing the complicity of diamond industry leaders who have chosen profits over principles. Maddy seeks out Archer as a source for her article, but soon finds it is he who needs her even more.
With Maddy's help, Archer and Solomon embark on a dangerous trek through rebel territory. Archer needs Solomon to find and recover the valuable pink diamond, but Solomon seeks something far more precious...his son.

first day of school, dreams shattered
*yawns*school reopens once again.i actually likes to go school but i hates lessons.poly life is actually quite enjoyable and relax,so many hot babes for me to oogle :P(thats the main part) and spending three years in poly is really fast.right now,i still left with about a month to finish my first year of poly.for one year,we actually only attend school for roughly about 8 months because of the breaks in between.so thats why time passes kinda fast in poly.
anyway, today was supposed to have lessons from 9am-5pm. but we had a 4 damn long hours break in between because we were notified that we wouldn't be having lessons for one of the module which happens to be a 3 hours lesson today.Shiok right?yes indeed, and my classmates and i spend the time dotaing in class,i mean like always la.even when its during lesson we do that too.
so went back home straight after school, kinda tired. took a bath, ate my dinner and was supposingly watching tv but fall asleep after a while. woke up about 9 plus and then received some disappointing messages.joey,my band leader,said he is gonna work with our drummer and his ex-bandmate on writing of songs,performing and actually earn money.he is gonna work on his dream right now and we werent part of working towards his dream.he said we can still continue to learn from him and don't give up our passion on music. yes, i have never given up my passion for music and don't doubt me for my commitment if i really entitled my soul and heart into something i want to acheive badly.i may be a slow learner, but im not someone who gives up just like that.i have the same dream as joey but maybe he is a step ahead of me.but im still gonna learn from him, and hopefully in the near future, we will be performing together.i will be dreaming of that.

2007 a new year, a new start
its 2007!!! lets say goodbye to 2006.and im turning 18 this year, i simply can't wait. time passes really fast. just a blink of an eye, and im finishing my first year of poly in few months time. 2006 has been a fairly good year for me i should say. so many things have happened, so many unforgetable memories. but we still gonna move on with our lives and leave those histories behind.
so without fail, i went for the countdown for 2007 along with maoists. we went to vivocity at first for dinner, then we walked around, played pool as we were waiting for the rest to join us. by the time we left vivocity for sentosa, it was already 11pm. we decided to go to sentosa by feet as that was the fastest way. after we crossed the bridge, we took a bus from there straight to siloso beach. our blur leader, chin hong, said there were 2 countdown parties held at siloso beach. 1 was the foam party which only 18 and above could enter, and another party which does not have age limit. but all we could see was the foam party. yes, we couldn't enter so we settled down at a pub around that area. there was a live DJ too so we had no choice,ended up counting down at the pub. we were kinda disappointed because we were hoping to see some hot bikini babes and adding to our misery, we only saw some guys in their trunks. anyway, after countdown, some of us went to get some drinks, tibits and liqour to last for the night. so we had a game, i forgot what was it called but basically everyone has to draw a card and placed it on your forehead so that the rest of us can see what card you are holding. then, all of us will try or not to convince a person to changes his card. the person with the smallest card will have to bottoms up the cup of liqour. i was lucky enough i wasnt holding the smallest card for all the rounds. but in the end, all of us will have to bottoms up at least a cup of liqour mixed with some soft drinks. so ya, everyone drank up but there were liqour still left. so we shared it among ourselves and finished the bottle of liqour. chavalit drank the most, chin hong didnt drank as much but he was in a total drunk state, lesther(i don't know if i spell it correctly) didnt drank much too but he was knocked out too, yan zhi face was really really red but at least he is still sober. the rest of us were still sober too. the worst of all was chin hong. he could barely walked, and he kept looking at us and laughing away. he totally had no idea what he was doing. we tried to wash his face, hoping he will be more sober, but no, he didn't change at all. then, we decided to walk around as we didn't want to stay at the same place. so julius and chavalit was kinda supoorting chin hong, i was holding lesther because he wasn't that sober yet. chin hong could really barely walk. as we walk along the road, everyone was staring at chin hong. it was kinda embarrasing. we stopped for a while at a toilet, everybody took a leak, and once again, we washed chin hong's face, hoping he will get better yet again, it doesn't help at all. while we were about to leave the toilet, chin hong suddenly pointed to an indian guy and start laughing at him while that indian guy was peeing. chavalit immediately grabbed his hand down and brought him out of the toilet. i was laughing like hell. imagine you are peeing and someone is pointing at you while you were peeing, like how would you feel?awkward?pissed?yeah, thats how drunk he was. then we proceeded and found a beach soccer place. some malays were playing over there so we asked if we could join them and they allowed. they weren't locals because of the language they spoke, its either that they are thai or vietnamese. they were kinda kind and we had a few games with them, then they said they will lend us the ball as they were going to clean up. so it was a game among ourselves. when it comes to soccer, everyone is wide awake even for lesther and chin hong. both of them at last became sober. we played soccer for quite a while, all the way until about 5 plus going to 6. then all of us sat down on the beach, rested, chatted among ourselves and sang some songs together. after enough rest, we went to the nearby shower room and took a quick bath. the smell of the shower room was horrendous. it stinks really bad. so after shower, we took the first bus from palawan beach back to the main entrance of sentosa, then from there again we took a bus back to harbour front. louis and jerome went off first, they took cab back.the rest of us had our breakfast at a nearby hawker centre. after breakfast, we took a bus all the way back to woodlands. it was a long trip but it seems short as all of us were sound asleep the minute we board the bus.
these are the few photos we took over at sentosa though it wasn't that clear.
so i thought it was a really fun day spending with maoists on the first day of 2007, a great way to kickstart the year. anyway, i wishes everyone a great year ahead and may your new year resolutions come true :)
