movies

the weatherman is a nice show..its slow, but those who appreciate good movies will like it....theres a scene near the end where Michael Caine tells Nicolas Cage whos his son in the movie that

'This shit life, we must chuck some things..we must chuck them, in this shit life'

i like this line...and its a good movie

on another note...for those that have watched the family guy movie. theres a line where stewie griffin says
'If i'm drunk i'll be calm if i'm calm i'll be nice if i'm nice i won't go to hell'
nice eh..inspiration

ah well

I remember when I was in J2...was in the midst of my prelims..maths paper was the next day... when i think my mom or someone told me to go out and watch tv....so i went out....and they were showing these 2 skyscrapers, and one of them was on fire, got smoke coming out and all...and i remember thinking hmmm whats going on....the next thing i knew....a plane (the 2nd one) flew into the tower and exploded and i was like wtf is happening is this a movie or smth....

so yeah that was what i was doing on sept 11....saw footage of it on tv just now and was thinking bout it.....its certainly changed the world hasn't it...and not for the better..but oh well

hmm

oh i just had a thought, and i think its rather relevant...

if oral sex is banned in singapore, why in the world do they sell flavoured condoms?

tigercity!!

just watched jackass the movie....its freakin hilarious i highly recommend it haha...

but anwiae

i'm sure you all know how the name Singapura came about? when that prince from indonesia came over and he saw an animal and asked his adviser what animal that is...and the adviser replied thats a lion.....so the prince said i'll call it Lion City aka Singapura......

well did u know that the animal was actually a tiger since there weren't any lions on singapore ever....so i think we have to thank heavens that the dumbass adviser didn't say it was a tiger....cos tiger in malay is harimau.....so for all u know singapore coulda been named....harimaupura!!....hi i'm from harimaupore

stupid pple and embezzling doctors

first thing is...could pple just leave a msg to say hi pls so i know who reads this? might be noone but since i've been on last nite theres been about 40 hits and noone tags...so yah just to satisfy my curiousity....takes 5 seconds...


aniwae....i think i know the problem wif the australian system of education....u see...in s'pore....in sec sch in JC our teachers are just screwing us basically scolding us again and again why never do homework why always fail don't do this its wrong don't do that its wrong....and well u cld call it bad cos its pressurising us but at least we know what is wrong and are pushed..

over here in tutorials....i'm talkin bout uni i dunno how their high school is but i guess its the same thing......basically they say whatever they wanna say....and whether its a good point or a fucking stupid point...the tutor will still say the same thing...'hmmm thats a good/interesting point there blah blah blah'...same for presentations.......like i said b4...presentations shld be to the point and answer the question....jus had another tute today where the presenation was basically a rehash of last week's lecture....waste my time again......but anwiae...so wahtever is presented for every tute i've been since sem 1....the tutor jus says hmmm good good at the end......how is someone gonna improve like that if they think they're doing the right thing and keep doing it cos noone tells them that hey wat ur doin is wrong......i guess this system helps develop self esteem and all that but wat we've got here is a bunch of confident wankers who think they're the BOMB but the reality is quite different obviously

but of cos theres alot of good points here too....more freedom to do what u want academically...more of ur own research....hardly any spoon feeding....so yeah its not all bad....just dun like stupid pple



got a story i just remembered....dunno if anyone remembers what i blogged last yr about my doctor being LKY's brother....he has a clinic at Balestier Plaza....aniwae i only started going to him in army.....b4 that i went to another doctor also in balestier plaza....name is T.T. Ong.......used to love going to him in JC...whenever i din feel like goin sch.....cos my mom refused to write a parent's letter....so i'd just go to him...say diarrhoea sore throat watever he'll say hmmm ok ok ask abit more then gimme medicine and MC....and b4 i go off i'll say smth like erm how bout PE can i take? and he'll get the hint and give me a week off PE.....then i'll pay...get the receipt and give it to my mom for her to claim from her company...was the best thing i had going on ahha.....aniwae after a while i started forging MCs...but shhhhh......aniawe after i think JC or think it was during J2......the clinic closed down....so i was rather understandably disappointed.......then one fine day i read the news and my doctor was in the news!!!....apparently he was also the president of the Singapore Tenpin Bowling Congress (STBC)....and he fled the country cos he embezzled the funds from there and the police were looking to arrest him...haha... i dunno how he is today but i wish him well the slackfucker

tag board!!!!

just got a tag board....start tagging!!

elections!!!!

just went to the elections website at www.elections.gov.sg

electoral boundaries are drawn btw...anwiae at the website was looking for stuff on overseas voting...they have info and FAQs and shit about where to vote what to bring to vote overseas and all but the thing is....it doesn't actually bluddy TELL you how to register to vote overseas....neither does it give the criteria for pple to meet to actually vote....

for me it doesn't matter cos i'm tanjong pagar...but hey other pple would want to know rite.....
oh and my friend chi yenn just told me that pagar in malay is fence.....interesting...

jus had politics tute witht he ayatollah....its irritating i tell u...i'd write more but chi yenn here is hurry upping me cos she wants to use the com....

standing

Let me share with you a line from the poem 'Leisure' by W.H. Davies


WHat is this life if, full of care
We have no time to stand and stare?

and this is exactly my philosophy in life, thats why i like the line so much.....we shld enjoy life you know....not be busy busy busy from one ting to the next never stopping....we need to enjoy the fresh air, the scenery.....now u may think i'm a slack piece of ass but NO....i'm just standing and staring in my own slow way






i dunno how many of u have watched American Wedding...the 3rd American Pie show.....theres a scene when Stiffler asks Finch whats the capital of Thailand, and before Finch says antyhing Stifflers says BANGKOK!!!...and whacks FInch's dick.....i still collapse into laughter whenever i see that dumbass scene...cos its funny u know....BANGKOK!!!

why the fuck do i have to think of a title for every post

Parents should never have to bury their children...err yah i dunno that thought just came to my mind......but i guess thats the sucky thing about growing old ain't it....u see ur loved ones, friends pass on....

but enough morbid thoughts for the day

have to do a film review for my history unit thats on China....i went to borrow a few films jus now....thinking that i'll give them a watch and then decide which one....its 20% of the unit so its quite substantial.....

these are the ones i got

Eat Drink Man Woman
THe Joy Luck Club
Farewell My Concubine
In the Mood for Love
Shanghai Triad (some gong li film i never heard of but it has her and directeed by zhang yimou so shld be ok)

in the midst of watching eat drink man woman now...its nice....theres a line in it that goes 'children are the creditors that come to collect for the sins of our past lives'....yah man i agree....kids are just trouble....my future wife better not want more than 2

anwiae which show shld i do..i dunno




oh yah tutes here are gettin on my nerves....each tute has 1 or a few questions for discussion.....pple shld discuss those fuckin questions and not la di da stuff....my tute on indonesian politics and society....the questions were based on the main theme of the wk which was nationalist thought and how the revolution helped shaped indonesia....but the ang moh bitch that was presenting....instead of answering the fuckin quesitons...spent 15 mins giving us the history of indonesia.....seriously....waste my time waste ur time waste everyones time....what she said i could go wikipedia and fuckin get everything in 5 mins.....pisses me off....best thing is she distributed 2 sheets of paper to everyone b4 the presentation....at first i thought it was her outline or smth....turn out to be this quiz wif quesitons and blanks for us to fill in.....questions like 'whats the population of indonesia' 'whats the name of the 1st 2 major kingdoms in indonesia' 'what are the 5 principles of the pancasila'........wtf....i threw the damn thing away....

next time if i ever do postgraduate studies and i become a tutor....and the presenter spends the 1st 5 mins talkin about crap...i'll jus stop him/her and ask excuse me how does what ur saying answer the FUCKING QUESTION....without the 'fucking' i guess...

todays tutoria was a blast

had politics tute today... the question was something along the lines of :'what is the relevance of deterrence is contemporary world politics' something like that........theres this quite old guy in the class...think at least 30 plus 40.....last wk i thought he looked southern european...mebbe greek or smth....well tut is jus humming along till theres about 10 mins left and the guy suddenly announces that hes got smth to say...

mind u we're discussing deterrence in int'l politics......so this guy suddenly goes off on a rant in accented english about conspiracy theories involving the US, Israel, Mossad and the CIA and goodness knows what else....about Iran about terrorism (i think hes in favour of the use of terror i cldn't quite catch him there)...after about a min i was like wtf is going on here.....i started looking ard at the class (we were sitting on an oval table) and most pple were listening in rapt attention....either that or they had to pretend to be interested cos the guy and my tutor cld see them, whereas i was blocked....saw one or two that looked like they were gonna start laughing but obviously didn't.....well he goes on la di da till he gets to the part about Iran and says smth along the lines of he doesn't support the regime he himself escaped from the country cos of dunno what i don't think he said...but the US is using the nuclear issue to further their plot dunno wat blah blah...well i thought that was rather interesting...the fact that the guy prob sought asylum is australia or smth like that......

well seriously good for him i'm happy that he managed to escape and that hes in australia and in uni....but fucking hell answer the fucking question.....next wk is gonna be best......tute question is about Iran and nuclear proliferation....and our dissident here is doing a news article AND a presentation....think hes gonna take at least...hmmm.....the whole fucking tute this time.......ah well at least it gives me smth to write about.....stay tuned folks i'll keep u updated.......think his name is Hrathy i'm not sure how to spell it....but for simplicity's sake lets call him Ayatollah

Heh
