Okay thought I'd post some photos and update on my trip to Ho Chi Minh with my family. It's not really a choice destination but I like going to S.E.A and look at the different cultures and sights. Plus it's also cheaper!

I'm bored. I'm at TP library surfing the websites now. I've finished checking my mails - Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, TP Mail. I've finished seeing the updates at facebook. Done with reading blogs. As well as looking through the friends page on livejournal. Now what?
Recently this thing has always been on my mind and I can't seem to stop thinking about it! I've been wondering...
Anyway this week has been really a movie marathon for me - I could name all the movies I've watched either in the cinema or from the library and it's definitely about 8, in 5 days! Scary how much money I've spent on movie tickets this week.
Caught Slumdog Millionaire at GV in Yishun on Wednesday. Was quite an impromptu thing cos I just woke up from sleeping on the bus (again) and was quite cranky so at the spur of the moment just decided to watch it alone. This is like my first time watching a movie alone and it felt no different when watching with a friend really. Unless you're the kind who likes to talk and discuss during movies, which I don't. Coming back, Slumdog Millionaire is awesome. I'm hooked onto the soundtrack which is suprisingly listen-able. My friends said that it's not so bollywood indian but more of a remix and hey, more than 2 chinese said they listened to an indian soundtrack so must be something right haha...They didn't win best original score for nothing haha!


Oh I love the dance scene at the end of the movie! Very nice and so typical. Jamal or Dev Patel really has got this boyish charm and he's only 18!

Been listening to this song while doing my annual report at night. It's really touching and I cried when listening to it. It kinda made me think of my old toys. Yeah call me naive but I really think my toys have feelings and I feel really sad when I left my toy in the cupboard when we were moving house.
During CNY my cousins would come to my room and whenever they saw me toy they'd say throw it away because it's old and dirty and all that stuff. But you know toys have that special connection with you? Like they grew up with you and they were the first person to turn to whenever you were sad. Maybe that's just me because I talk to toys who don't answer me but just listen, which is one thing most people don't! Alot of people try to solve the problem for you when you start telling them stuff, but I'm sure what people want most is someone to listen, and in my case when I'm angry at someone/something, to agree with me haha!
Anyway I'm really a sensitive overly emotional girl. The other day my Mum was sharing her frustrations with me and I actually felt sad/sorry/angry for her that I was the one who started crying instead! Haha it's an irony. My mum and brother have all said that I cry very easily and I should become an actress lol! Hmmm, okay I think I shall end here with something my friend told me. It's some word to describe our sensitive nature:
The rich, deep, sensitive emotional nature:
The artistic nature to appreciate the beauty of the world.
The depth to see into the heart and soul of life
The talent to create a masterpiece where nothing existed before.

Hugh Jackman in the Oscars!!! Anyone should go watch the intro part of the oscars! He's so funny and suave and awww!
FRIDAY THE 27TH!!!
This is not an image but it is the end of block and submissions and all that stuff and the start of my "holdidays"! Can't wait. Okay no time to slack now!!
I can't handle criticism. I really can't. I am overly sensitive at times and my skin is too thin to endure such negative criticism. Comments like "I do not think you deserve an A", "you cannot do vector", "is that all?" or "is that the best you can do?" in a clearly unimpressed tone have all left me really discouraged, even to the point where I keep questioning my strengths or whether I should do this later in life. How else do I think that getting crits now is a positive thing and not the other way round? I guess knowing that getting slammed now rather than next time is much better. I guess in school we're still in somewhat a protective zone and when we step outside it's the big competitive world...
On a lighter note I caught The Curious Case of Benjamin Button on Friday and I love the show! The cast, acting, cinematography, score etc. All but the audience! The stupid annoying secondary school students who talked sooo loudly and laughed at unnecessary parts which were not that funny at all! I hate to watch a movie where everyone laughs so loudly and not appropriately! Okay I'm not making much sense but in a nutshell... I'll never watch a movie on Friday at this kind of timing where alot of students will be! 

I think Cate Blanchett looks awesome in the red hair. Makes me want to have one too haha. 
And this is my favourite part of the movie! Cate is so graceful and elegant!

When you were young say in Primary School, they would talk to your mother and say:
Waah your daughter ah? Last time so small now so big!
Ohh taking PSLE this year is it? How you stressed or not?
Then when you go to Secondary School they'll ask:
What secondary school are you studying at now? Ohh...*pauses* where is it? So how you go to school everyday?
When are you taking your 'O' Levels?
So have you decided what you're going to do when you finish O Levels?
Then, after the secondary school years they'll continue:
So what poly or JC are you studying at now? What course? Ohh tampines very far leh! How do you go to school everyday?
What year is it?
Ohh...so when will you graduate?
So are you planning to further your studies?
And it continues when you finish studies and move along in life:
So where are you working at now?
你什么时候有男朋友?
Then, when you start bringing home your bf/gf home they still won't stop:
你什么时候结婚?
And finally when you get married and all that stuff, it's still not the end!!!
你什么时候有孩子?
It's like giving a report every year...! And my church friends and I thought of a few replies to prevent further questions and some were if they asked you what are you working as, we would say "oh I'm retrenched or am declared bankrupt"! Haha I'm sure that would stop them from asking anymore questions!! And there was the "when are you going to bring home your boyfriend/girlfriend to let us see??" The reply we thought of was "Oh I'm gay/lesbian". Haha gosh I'm sure they'll be shocked and stop asking haha!
Anyway while eating lunch today with the church friends, we started talking about CNY and all the visitations etc. Then suddenly Esther broke her plastic spoon...Jonathan broke his too about 5 minutes later...and Samuel ALSO broke his spoon! Haha! It was all too funny because it was because we were talking about CNY and then the spoons just broke! Haha! And Adeline and I were the only 2 survivors...so we all agreed that we shan't talk about CNY! Then later Jonathan's Mum came over and sat with us and started saying, "So what are you all eating for steamboat tonight?" And all 5 of us looked at each other and went like nooooooooo!! Haha!
I told myself to clean up this sty at 11pm...Why are girls always messier than guys???!!
