The Terminal

Woke up early today surprisingly. did nothing much also. Initially wanted to watch the olympics closing ceremony. but at abt 1 am then too tired, so i just went to sleep. wow. time passes so quickly. so fast the olympics have come to an end. No more olympic action. have to wait until beijing 2008, which then i would be like 22 yrs old. By then i would want to fly down to beijing to watch the games for myself. shld start saving now. oh ya, the men marathon came to a funny twist. apparently a crazy guy dashed out of nowhere and he pushed the leading runner to the side. in the end the runner finished 3rd. in fact, the games this time round got quite a lot of screws up but notheless still a great game.


i watched the terminal on my comp today. me being the ultra pirate again. but i downloaded cause it was released quite some time back n stupid singapore have not screened it until i think next week. It wasn't the usual action flick, exciting movie. in fact it was a slow paced one. Taking about this guy victor who was trapped in the JFK airport after being denying entry. it's interesting to see how life inside the airport is. The airport is also a place where i wanna work next time, if possible. it allows me to get close to the huge planes and of course meeting ppl frm all around the world. Think my dream of being a pilot is gone case and the next best place i wanna be would be the airport. Back to the movie, one thing amazing was that the set of the movie was actually a mock up of the actual JFK T4 terminal. Every details in the set follows the actual and the stores featured inside, like starbucks are actually fully functional. how marvelous was tat. And it was actually based on a true story of this guy who stay at paris CDG airport for 16 yrs. A iran exile i think. Today CNA did a feature of him and he said he one day, he does want to leave the airport.

i posted the pic to see if the pic posting would work.

"The Terminal" tells the story of Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks), a visitor to New York from Eastern Europe, whose homeland erupts in a fiery coup while he is in the air en route to America. Stranded at Kennedy Airport with a passport from nowhere, he is unauthorized to actually enter the United States and must improvise his days and nights in the terminal’s international transit lounge until the war at home is over.As the weeks and months stretch on, Viktor finds the compressed universe of the terminal to be a richly complex world of absurdity, generosity, ambition, amusement, status, serendipity and even romance with a beautiful flight attendant named Amelia (Catherine Zeta-Jones). But Viktor has long worn out his welcome with airport official Frank Dixon, who considers him a bureaucratic glitch, a problem he cannot control but wants desperately to erase.

"Leaving On A Jet Plane" Chantel Kreviazuk
I'm ... I'm ...
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go'
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
I'm ...
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I'll tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go'
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, oh, let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times that I won't have to say ...
Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go'
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
And I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

What "I'll cut my hair like urs if u dun get in" can't imagine that ah lian in that butch hairtstyle. and there is this ah beng whom i think is not really beng.

I Believe -- Fantasia Barrino & Diana Degarmo

Have you ever you ever reached a rainbow's end
And did you find your pot of gold
Ever catch a shooting star
Tell me how high did you soar
Ever felt like you were dreaming
Just to find that you're awake
Cause the magic that surrounds you
Will lift you up and guide you on your way

I can see it in the stars across the sky
Dreamt a hundred thousand dreams before
Now I finally realize
See I've waited all my life for this moment to arrive
And finally yeah

I believe in the impossible
If I reach deep within my heart
Overcome any obstacle
Won't let this dream fall apart
See I strive to be the very best
Shine my light for all to see
Cause anything is possible
When you believe yeah

I can see it in the stars across the sky
Dreamt a hundred thousand dreams before
Now I finally realize
I've waited all my life for this moment to arrive
And finally I believe
Yes I believe
Ohh Yeah

Love keeps liftin me higher
Liftin me higher
Love keeps liftin me higher
I said love keeps liften
Love keeps liften me
I said Love keeps liften
Love keeps liften me higher
Said love keeps liften me higher
I said love keeps liften me high

2 down

Yeah! Finally the prelims are coming to a stop. only temporarily. Survived yesterday and today. gp paper sucks. it was on religion. really had no idea what to put for AQ. just crapped my way thru. and the design. how creative can the teachers get. actually they were quite easy, just have to think hard. The gd thing was that at least i didn't screw phy prac today. The whole thing went thru quite smoothly. but it was the lock up that sucks. Sat in the gym, listening to radio, playing cards, rotting.. whatever... went to adam's road to eat after tat. some stupid uncle sort of pissed me off a bit. I went to buy sugarcane juice and he came asking me what i want. i am not sure if his stall got sell sugarcane juice as it was a fruits store, so i asked him ' got sell sugarcane juice?' He then replied bluntly " sugarcane is right beside there. u got no eyes to see ah? the word so big" (translated frm chinese). It was like WTF! not happy i never buy frm him izit? i shouldn't have even bothered to reply him. got business let him do he dun want.. F*cK! but tat didn't spoil my mood though

yeah! no sch for 3 days.

It was so loud that i could feel my bed vibrating. despite the thuderous roar, i still lay in my bed until 12. god knows how i am going to go to bed early tonite for the battle against GP tmr. and there is still amazing race tonite plus charmed!! gonna see if colin is really being thrown into jail. haha. and today LIfe! features an article on Charla. oh man, she has really captivated the hearts of many. Without her, the show wld be different. so now i am rooting for the bowling mums!

Listening to kelly clarkson's breakaway. damm! it's good!!

Breakaway - Kelly Clarkson
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I just stared out my window
Dreaming of a could-be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)
Trying not to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray (I would pray)
I could breakaway
[Chorus:]I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish Take a chance Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance Make a change
And breakaway
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway
[Chorus:]I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish Take a chance Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance Make a change
And breakaway
Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around wild indoors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway
I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway

Well. it seems like a lot have happened this week. first was on wed morning,. received a message from kim and he told me that his father has passed away. It was like an instant shock to me. Everything seems to be ok for him and suddenly this happened. Spent the whole day in sch in a daze. even peiling n kaining were shocked. Realised later that his dad fell and hit his head and he just left. It's really very very sudden. We went to visit him on fri. My first time at a fren's parent funeral. Luckily i didn't have all the awkard scene that i had imagined. He seems ok, serving us. Not sure if he is really alright. If he is, then it would be good. Take care pal. And it also happened that my grandma got admitted into hospital. At first, it was a mild stroke. She recovered after that, but today when i visited her, dunno why she kept vormitting. she wouldn't eat anything too. Haizzzz. All these things happening really makes me think abt life. Have we lived life to the fullest??

ok. enough of the sad stuff. Had maths mock exam today. It was the only paper in my nj life that i knew how to do most of the qns. but still screwed some of the qns. thinking a B shld be possible. And this morning had some dogshit luck. Went into LT 5, then sat down on the chair. and it was oh shit! could feel my butt turning wet. shit! i have sat into a chair with water. WTF! it wasn't a good sign though.

Watch the table tennis match today. Li jiawei just lost out by 2 pts. think she will be gek like siao loh. It was a good fight however. Even if she did win a medal, i really wouldn't be really proud cause she ain't a true blue singaporean. are singaporean really talentless? not so i guess. in sports, yes. we seems hopeless at the international level, but in the regional level, out swim team is rather zai rite. and others like steph sun? she's a singapore talent. talking abt talent, i missed thu episode of s'pore idol. was just too tired after sch tat day that i just lied down on bed and then just slept all the way till the morning.

oh. nothing much. prelims next. got GP and prac next week. and it sucks that i am in the first shift and of all places, why have to lock up area be the gym? have to sit on the floor. i can't imagine. luckily there is only 1 practical for me to go thru.

i am trying to learn how to post music on the site. anyone knows can teach me??

twins effect 2

today was econs mock exam. as usual, cannot finish studying, cannot finish doing also. it's a torture spending 2hr15min in LT 1 writing essays. at the end of it, i was like forget it. buck up next time round.

went to watch the twins effect 2 after the mock exam. wah piang. super bloody lame loh. what in this country the women are superior over men and men are slaves to be sold abt by women. the men are called 'ling dang' or 'dumbells'. lame lah. then the jokes. omg! had me laughing like siao. esp the last part, was laughing like siao. never twins effect 2 to be such a crap after watchng the first one. really help to destress after watching the movie.

the olympic action are so so so great! too bad all the action are in the middle of the night, with only a few in the evenings, when i can watch. how i wish there is a channel dedicated totally to the olympics here in spore. watched the opening ceremony just now, still think the lighting of the flame was more zai back in aussie in 2000. 16 days of action. oh god, don't think i gonna study.

yesterday was ndc celebrations. well, the whole thing was totally boring. Really, last yr was great. this yr, haizzz. just rotting at the corner of the grandstand. this yr PA cocked up quite a bit, not like last yr, everything went perfect. after the whole thing ended, which was surprisingly early at bout 9.30, went to rot around with pa ppl. helped the yr 1 pack up. it was the JTS (junior treat senior) after the whole thing. apparently dunno who managed to coax the j1 into treating us, but having something is good. hope it become a tradition. decided to go to marina square. after a long bus ride and being frozen to death by the cold wee leng, we reached there. didn't know the whole place was undergoing renovation. luckily seoul garden was still open. but the bad news is tat we have to wait until 2.30 loh. sianzz. can see 03s09 was inside alreadly. then we made a reservation and went to bowl. haven't bowled like for 3 yrs. and my skills totally sucks lah.

after bowling, we went back and after waiting and laming around, we got the seats. then they do not have enough plate. have to use the small plate to get food. didn't know the marina sq outlet used charcoal instead of gas. then the fire was damm small loh. after having my fill, then we sat around and literally messed up the place. jiankai and benji were trying out their new reciepe, what beef with icecream, frying noodles whatever. we were all laughing like mad at jiankai antics. in the end he burned the servatte in the pit, togethe with chopsticks and whatever. after the meal, we walked to the esplande. surprised to see liujia with her bf, another prc, huajie i think. benji and i suggested to go play bumper car, but it was $4. so damm ex. so end up walking walking walking until suntec city. wanted to catch the village, but the timing too late. in the end took a cab with cheegiap home. wow. very long haven got such a good time. can rot around, toking cock.

This stupid thing wee leng said really craked me up.
wee leng: (to yefan) oei! yefan, chee giap wants to eat you.
yefan: what want to eat me?
wee leng: chee giap wants to eat sai!

today had practically slept the whole day. feeling a bit sick. must be the seoul garden. gotta start mugging tmr..

brotherhood

hoho! I'm so glad that the weekend is finally here. as usual, fri after sch is slacking time. Went to watch brotherhood today with yaozong and lydia. didn't expect her to come, but since she want, then i ok loh. btw, i dun really know her well. Think there are some moments where we were so damm quite loh. The movie was so damm touching. abt the love and bond between two brothers. something i would not get to experience since i am the only child. and this remind me of something. lydia was talking abt some single child and she asked how come rv got so many single child. then i replied because rv is so cheena wat. ok, back to the movie. was strainning my eyes damm hard to read the subtitles that my eyes hurt quite a lot after the movie. the last part where the old man went to his brother's sort of grave, was so so... could feel tears whelming in my eyes. erm. i did not cry. did see some others in the cinema cry.

yesterday night was really torture man. did physics until abt 1 am until i feel so giddy and then i went to bed. once i lay on the bed, then i feel so damm awake. did not fall asleep until 2 plus i think. i think the work i handed in was so damm bloody sloopy work.  but i couldn't give a damm liao. still got more stuff to do. tat's why i intend to stay at home all day this weekend to do my work. but before tat i got to clear up my room. these recent weeks some wierd flying creatures have been flying abt in my hse and i suspect tat it may be breeding in my room. gonna move all the bed, shelves apart tmr to clear all the stuff. major cleaning to do tmr.

also, borrowed F.I.R album from peiling. it's damm goood!!!!!! waiting for jay's new album to come out now.

also, jin hsien told me this joke

Qns: If lao wang got diabetes, what disease will his wife have?

 

 

 
Ans: tooth decay
Erm... dirty or wat i dunno. it really cracked me up!

Busy

have been so busy with school work recently. Having to do lots of hw. haven't really done revision yet, except for physics, got those practices. Plus serious lack of sleep also. Slept all the way still now after reaching home. Thinking abt all the pile of work just makes me sick. but still must pia liao. like what cheng say today 'u must start now!'. ok ok. i promise to go do work after blogging.

the whole week was sian loh. GP got compre on tue double period. plus it is some sucky compre that is so damm hard to understand. wed was shiok, had early day. catching up on sleep day. Bought elva's beautiful episode too. It was great! Too bad the CD is copyright control. cannot play on comp. means cannot transfer to my MD. sian. have to do it manually. think i will do it when i am free. also have to reformat my comp. going crazy. just praying it won't crash and i would all my precious mp3s. today was short day. intended to pia home after sch and mug, but tat stupid yz actually dragged me to coro to eat. (actually he wanted to watch movie but i am broke. ah tee still owe me $$). so surprised to see her there. seems like i keep bumping into her recently. tot she wld take the same bus, but she did not. too bad.

also changed my blog format. now it is a total screw up. dunno what to do with it. all my info like archives and whatever all gone. hiya, think i redo it another time. haiz, i am pushing all these crap to dunno when.

Listening to jay's new song qi li xiang aka seven mile fragrance. hmm. really nice. downloaded it online. it is ripped from radio one. Gonna buy original. hehe. i only buy original if it is worth it. if not just download. hehe.

周杰伦《七里香》词:方文山 曲:周杰伦   
窗外的麻雀 在电线杆上多嘴   
你说这一句 很有夏天的感觉   
手中的铅笔 在纸上来来回回   
我用几行字形容你是我的谁   
秋刀鱼 的滋味 猫跟你都想了解   
初恋的香味就这样被我们寻回   
那温暖 的阳光 像刚摘的鲜艳草莓   
你说你舍不得吃掉这一种感觉   

雨下整夜 我的爱溢出就像雨水    
院子落叶 跟我的思念厚厚一叠   
几句是非 也无法将我的热情冷却   
你出现在我诗的每一页   

雨下整夜 我的爱溢出就像雨水   
窗台蝴蝶 像诗里纷飞的美丽章节   
我接著写 把永远爱你写进诗的结尾   
你是我唯一想要的了解   

那饱满 的稻穗 幸福了这个季节   
而你的脸颊像田里熟透的蕃茄   
你突然 对我说 七里香的名字很美
我此刻却只想亲吻你倔强的嘴

dunno if the words can be seen. cause this templete doesn't seem to support chinese characters.
