Considering that I have too much free time with nothing to do, I decided to fully utilise all of them by getting myself another cca, the NUS Odac.

Now I'm looking forward to fulfilling my 26 adventure camps on my wishlist.

I'm actually feel quite pissed off after watching this.

This is nothing comparable to the mind-boogling, awe-inspiring success of the Death Note series. Any DN fans will tell you the exact same thing. The plot is quite cliche and there is almost no traces of the genius work of L, who is supposedly the main cast. Instead, all I see is sadistic killers that are almost too melodramatic.

where is L, the world-class genius detective that managed to outsmart Kira? If not for the fine acting of Kenichi Matsuyama (Death Note; Death Note 2 the Last name), I'll probably be cursing at the film.

Even L can't change how the film will become.

(p.s do stay after the credits, there's something to be shown. But when I watched the movie yesterday, most left the cinema in disgust and didn't catch it. It isn't anything great though, maybe because I don't understand the significance of it)

It's been a pretty busy week, but there's always time for some relaxation.

Here is a video that really inspired me a lot. An ordinary person destined for greatness. It shows there's a special talent in everyone.



and another diamond is discovered.

Pardon for the lack of post, it's almost midway of the semester and all the assignments and tests are heading this way. Time to embrace studying once again.

I got this interesting question from my sociology class and I'm still thinking of an answer.

If you were in a sinking Titanic and can only save 1 person together with you, who will you save?
1) Surgeon
2) Farmer
3) Butcher
4) Housewife
5) Artist
6) Teacher
7) Miss World
8) President of USA

State the person you will most consider saving and the one you think you will least likely save and why.

I'm interested to find out who you guys will choose. Tag your choice.

Every year I used to spent my chinese new year with my family members and relatives, and it is one of the more important family occassions. This is so because my extended family is quite big and there isn't many opportunities to meet up altogether.

But somehow I feel that there is a change slowly creeping in, not everyone is present for these events like past years (I was one of the culprits too) and my grandma seems to be no longer insistent on our presence (or perhaps she has already given up trying to persuade us to stay?)

I shall leave these reflection for some other day.

Anyway we met up at the airport (part of the mixedrice crew) to collect our airport tax refund but it appears we need another one more month to process it. Went to watch CJ7 at vivocity after that, and it is a good show. Though I'm not some movie critic or something, the plot is simple but the actors wowed me. A must watch recommended by me.

I seem to have some morbid fascination with fishes and shit. Lol.

Was out yesterday with yanliong, limin, nick and zhirong (friends I made in the LDP camp). It was considered an outing but we ended up talking about random stuffs that everything became so educational. We started learning about the different grades of wine, the caviars, ice-cream and leather shoes.

The high life of society.

After today's nation-building tutorial, I felt inspired to learn more about the current issues in our society, and where is the best place to learn them?

Definitely from the Mr Brown Show. Coincidentally, they just released a super funny podcast: 2 Many 2 Count - ERP Drift (Highly recommended)

I'm laughing my heads off at this new one. Beep!Beep!Beep!

2 Many 2 Count - ERP Drift (Lyrics)

I wonder if you know,
How they live in Ang Mo Kio
Go to city many gantry
Can’t afford your speed too low
Fast and furious! (Kena!) (beep! beep! beep!)
Slow is dangerous (Aiyah!) (beep! beep! beep!)

I wonder if you know,
How they live in Toa Payoh
Please lah tolong, only Lorong
Not Expressway also tio!
Fast and furious! (Kena!) (beep! beep! beep!)
Spread like virius! (Aiyah!) (beep! beep! beep!)

Many many taxes danglin
ERP now is randomin
Keep your speed ‘bove 45
Or everybody Cashcard won’t survive!
Suka suka ERP on
Happy happy gantry can born
16 new ways to gope your lui
See already want to pui!

Gahmen say take MRT
Cos car is only luxury
Build the road for Fellari
Normal car will up lorry
Ji Pa Ban (uh!), Ichiban (uh)
No million dollars you Lan Lan
CTE is the place to be
Singapore road for VIP

I wonder if you know,
How they live in Ang Mo Kio
Reach work early, at 5.30
Spend three hours drink teh-o
Can’t be seraious! (wah lau!) (beep! beep! beep!)
Live like vampires (ouch!) (beep! beep! beep!)

I wonder if you know,
Where the gantry never grow
Where the lorry
Never worry
Travel freely where you go
Pulau Bukom! (Don’t have!) (beep! beep! beep!)
Pulau Tekong (Huat ah!) (beep! beep! beep!)

lol.

I just love this photo. Smiles to the mixedrice crew (with sunkists popping out).

Baking class today is so fun.

Even though we didn't really do any hands-on, this is still an experience to remember. The atmosphere was great (since the entire room was covered by the aromatic banana chiffons and pineapple tarts). I'm having the urge to start baking my first chinese new year pineapple tart. Hopefully I don't burn down my kitchen this time round. Haha.

But I'll need to get a conventional oven first.
