Movie MANIA! and miscellaneous... / Sunday, 14 January 2007
I can't hold it in anymore! I have to say this! "Pan's Labyrinth" rocks!!! Go watch it!!! A gothic fairytale that is terrifyingly haunting, beautifully fleshed out by AMAZING characterisation, horrifyingly gut-wrenching and captivating at the same time (SUBLIME!!!) and! the music score! My Gosh! Evocative! Beautiful!
I want this soundtrack to be played during my funeral. What a morbid thought huh?
Anyway, part of the charm lies in the fact the movie is entirely in Spanish, it makes the setting all the more foreign and alien to an eastern culture such as ours! Oh my. Dr. S would be so proud of me for recalling all this gothic stuff.
Check out the webbie and play the music!
Anyway! Thanks to the fact that i have a brother in MJC, I got a copy of the yearbook in advance!!! (probably, the only good thing that will ever come out of having a sibling being in the same school as you)
Here's a little preview! (Just the cover la!)
Anyway! The lack of photos of my class is HIGHLY DISAPPOINTING! Makes me kinda wish that we were more sporting, more active and generally more outstanding in MJC.
Wait a minute! We were! We dressed up for racial harmony day. Ok. So did most of the school. We... we... we... nothing comes to mind! Ok. So maybe we weren't very sporting, active and outstanding.
But! But! But!
Bleah.
Oh well. At least we have our class photo!
What a consolation.
Double Bleah.

The First Entry / Saturday, 13 January 2007
Ok! My first entry! Man! As you can see by the not-so-creative title of my newly established blog, i've already reached the stage whereby i get writer's block. What a way to start something new eh?
Anyway! I am here to blog. So yeah. I'll blog.
I went to ESCAPE today with fuad, lisa, diana and her two friends (edit: Siu Lun and Lai Li). The day was rather fun! Had a ball riding the many rides! However, as much as being in the air, getting jerked around and strapped to suspiciously looking safety-straps (for a lack of a better word) is fun and absolutely fantastic! I prefer Mother Earth. I swear. I've never has so much love for solid, safe, hard, dependable, un-vomit-inducing ground. Tried the "inversion-thingy contraption" and boy! Was that ever a regrettable decision or what! I got flipped around so many times, my specs almost slipped off the bridge of my nose.
IMAGINE!
I'm on the ride. Strapped to a chair with safety straps that i can easily remove. The ride starts out slow. I said to fuad who was beside me, "I think i'll sleep. Closing my eyes will make my already queasy stomach better, no?" I close my eyes. The ride picks up. I go "ARGGGGHHHHH!!!" and "ARRRRRRRGH!!!" and "AAAAAA...." and in these oh-so-embarrassing moments, my specs inched it's way down the bridge of my nose. To hang on for dear life? Or, to adjust my specs?
I adjusted my specs.
Good thing i did that! Cos' the next thing that happened flipped my world. Literally and metaphorically. Of course this option would have been a bad option if ESCAPE chose to go all Final Destination 3 on me.
"ARGGGGGHHHH!!! *breaths* AAAAaaa...." Splat. DEATH.
*Cue the "death tone" that you so often hear in medical dramas*
My day certainly was fun today. =)
