I hardly do an entry on videos, so if i do, it means either the video is showing sth significant in my life or sth tt excites me A LOT. And for today, it's the latter! You have got to watch these AMAZING short clips.
And saving the best for the last is a clip on TIME LAPSE. This video is done using one real camera compiling abt a 1-2K photos into merely a 3min slideshow. There's no usage of 3D animation software at all and a video cam could most probably never make this happen. It makes life and living in a city look so surreal. Blogger wouldn't allow me to upload this video probably coz it's in divx format. Trust me, if u click this link but u don't have divx program, do dload it anw. it's virus-free and only takes less than 10 secs to dload. The video's worth it. I'm really interested in doing this for the summer break. it beats the current trend of playing with lomos. (:
I'd wanted to end this entry the way it is just after the last link. But this is just a comment after watching the vids to let anyone who reads my blog know that even if you render yourself as being ordinary, useless or don't even know what your future holds, you are still capable of doing something amazing too. I wish you a brilliant week ahead.

Phwoah. I'd rate Michael Radford's The Merchant of Venice to be one of the best modern Shakespeare adaptations.
Al Pacino's acting is awesome. The plot was a breathtaking ride, presenting to the audience different layers of complexity and problems leaving one hopelessly dumbfounded and unanswered. What would you do, if you were in Venice, 1596?
P.S: Thanks sonny sooooooooo much for lending me the dvd you just bought! I felt so bad coz you havent even watched it and i took it away from you. I'm sure you'll love the film as much as I do and I'm so glad you're coming into the same course as me. I owe you one mala! (:

You know life is crazy when you take a nap from 930-1030pm. That's what i just did.
To start off, i was in school from 12pm and stayed in school till 10+pm yesterday for 'HSS Nite', went back to hall to prepare Biz Law presentation. Slept at 3+am. And today, I had to be in school at 1030am to tend the HSS booth with fellow maincommers and some other subcommers. Finished lessons (including an interesting but excruciating 3hr seminar for my core module and then Biz Law tut) at 730pm and hell yes, the five of us were so glad that Biz Law presentation went fairly well, we went for can2 to have our tiny celebratory dinner. Left at 9pm and BANG, i bth liao. Just lie on the bed without having bathed. And you know how I can't stand having that particular canteen leaving the smell on my clothes. But heck, i'm that tired.
Got to wake up and not sleep on coz I still have french hw including essay to hand in tml. Have not prepared for test on Friday yet so got to start preparing either later or tml.
So wish me luck. And don't give me more work. I've got to give piano lessons on thurs and work as an ambassador for NTU-HSS this sat. And although next wk's the recess wk, I've got two assignments (think 2K words per essay) on hand which are due after that week. So, there is no reason to tell me to stop shopping or spending for now, ok?

Que Sera Sera (Part II)
"I have noth to say la. This period, I call it Giving everything up to fate. Just tk the back seat and let things be. Too tired to fight for what I want."
"Is that why you're quiet just now?"
"Was I v quiet? How come I din know? What happened to mi?"
"Go watch some huan zhu ge ge make urself laugh"
"Huan zhu ge ge is lame. I dunno y i watched tt in the past."
"I oso wan to b like them. Everyday find trouble for themselves."
"Haha. I should really go back to the olden days."
Escapism. Recently, the atmosphere's depressing. I've heard bout failed r/s, complicated ones, and I myself have problems with family matters and some particular friendship. It's just that I can't be bothered to deal with them now. Not because I don't care, but because I'm too jaded and vexed by these issues.
And what's more with the neverending school events, assignments, tests and presentations. All of us, at some time, choose to give up not because we cannot do it, but because we tried all means to solve it but fate makes a fool of us. Perhaps we're all trying too hard.
Lately, I've been having thoughts of running away after I graduate. To a faraway country where I shall start anew, earn the money I ought to, be in a place where there is genuine passion to love the people and things you do and get my smile back. I won't say I'll be running away, but this will be the time to recuperate myself and get myself back into real action. To learn things outside and apply them when I'm back on this red dot. To venture out because I possibly can't learn from the inside.
Well as you've possibly heard, the worst of situations makes the best of literature. And for the one who laughs at all my tragedies, you know who you are, just wanted to let you know I never thought this method could be one of the ways to make me laugh helplessly and realise I'm making a fool out of myself.
Whatever will be, will be.

I'm so happy that CNY's eve is just 15hrs away!!!
Well, i'm very excited about the annual's reunion dinner, cause I have mentioned in my past entry dated like a yr ago, that I don't get reunion dinner kind of home-cooked yummylicious feast for the rest of 364 days! Not even one simple home-cooked meal! On one hand, I would say it's pretty sad...but the only home-cooked dinner of the year will override all the sadness!!! I get to see my paternal grandparents too, and I love CNY because I get to taste the best soups cooked by my grandma. She makes the best-flavoured soups even during steamboats sessions.
Ok I know to me, CNY is about eating. Of course it's about eating good food. Relatives side...I'm good with them, but I just don't know why this year wearing new clothes don't attract me. I didn't even shop for new clothes cause I've got a few new ones in my wardrobe which I've nv worn b4. hahaha!
Cant wait to prepare the food with my family tomorrow. But before all these, I actually skipped biz law tut today to destress myself coz I still have a french cls to go at 1230-2pm tml! Presentation somemore! After cls, I will chiongggggg back home!!!
One thing I've been promising myself these few yrs is, when I grow up and get married, I'll go learn cooking and cook (even if it tastes like crap) for my family every single day I come back from work. Well, dining at home is a family thing, isn't it? You can take it for granted but if you lose it for long, you'll know how much you want it back.
Reunion dinner, HERE I COME. (:

I feel so loved today. (: Today it seems as if i have been living and will be living my life for the people who really care about me.
Went for SL's birthday celebration today...visited my sec sch frens, some pri sch ones (oh man how nostalgia lingers!) and SL's family! I missed them sooo much. Realised I haven't seen them for 8 years. I used to play with SL's younger brothers when I was in pri & sec sch, and now...I couldn't even recognise one of them. Fortunately the elder one rmbered me! Super touched. haha. SL's mom still look as fabulous and generous. (:
Earlier in the day I went to Suntec convention centre for 'Let's Talk NTU!' It's basically a roadshow with student ambassadors and profs interacting with the poly grads today and we'll be talking to the 'A' lvl grads on 23rd. Got good pay so of course go lah. haha. Saw some familiar faces...like yiwei, simin, faith (dropped by! so sweet!), david and many others. David's so nice! He offered to buy pizza for me b4 I rushed hm to get changed for SL's celebration coz he was having his lunch break at that time. But alamak, couldnt get hold of the delicious food coz he was eating with his prof & friends and couldnt leave earlier...haha nvm! Ah whenever I finish talking to David or even seeing him I feel so good coz of his flashy smile & super straight set of teeth...and we talk bout the same things & can 'click'! haha. Same problems same difficulties same jokes same bitchings. Shiok lah.
Even when it's already 1am, hanlin is such a dear! always giving and not expecting anything in return! super small and cute boy. haha. He just sent me a file bout iradio. It's about listening to chi songs non-stop and it's only accessible when you have internet connection. Then he said it's to keep me company for 24hrs. Always keeping me busy and occupied. He doesn't even know my probs. Ahhhhhhh!!! Too cute lah.
Thank God for these friends. Goodnight, and tomorrow morning i'm going to work especially hard for people who care about me. (:
I could live on forever by these littlest things.

Bitch, Bitching and Bitched
Haha what the fuck.
I've actually used the 'Permission' settings to invite only some readers to my blog but I just changed the settings back to where anybody can view it.
It's my blog. And whoever is eyeing on my entries discreetly daily can really go take the job of a paparazzi. The 'friends' out there who are spying on me through this website should really be ashamed of himself/herself for not even having the politeness to be concerned about my life and leaving me to die on my own deathbed without even tagging sth extremely simple and stupid like "hey shitass, how you doing!" Shame on you people.
I think this blog is totally apt as an avenue to rant bout ppl like you coz thank goodness, you won't even let me hear your fucking response.
And I am loving my classic one-liner, esp right now. Such an oxymoron. Try guessing what I'm talking about. I'll give people like you a hundred tries. And if you have mustered your courage, please try to say "errrrrrr.....hi." I'll applaud you just for that.
OUT.
