PEH DEH

Today is PAY DAY. YES finally. Going down to collect the cash later. Yeah man!

Nothing much at the moment, except for this sudden outburst of joy at payday. Woke up at 1.30pm again, ate noodles. Thats all for now.

Sophia Magdalena Scholl

Sigh this blog is getting boring. I will still blog, nonetheless.

Ok last night's okto filmart was something fresh. Not the usual violence, sex and gore-rich movies nowadays.

The film : Sophie Scholl - Die letzten Tage( the final days ). She's 21 years old, and a member of the White Rose, an anti-Nazi non-violent student group that opposes the regime. The film portrays her in the final days of her life as she struggles to secretly spread the anti-Nazi movement to  all of Germany.

Definitely not for light entertainment, adrenaline junkies or people who dislike history will most probably find this boring. The show's events don't seem like they happened over half a century ago, they make you feel like you're right in the middle of it. I was surprised to feel anxiety creeping up on me when Sophie and her brother were secretly distributing anti-war pamphlets throughout the campus, for fear of them being caught. 

Julia Jentsch's role as Sophie herself was brilliant. I loved her acting. I look at what she's done in the movie and can't help but wonder if i myself were put in that situation, would i be as brave as her, take the risks that she took. Fortunately Singapore is a peaceful country.

The film's set was pretty normal, nothing worth mentioning( except maybe the beheading part ). But the actors and actresses on the other hand, were exceptional. I shan't elaborate on the story here but it isn't one with a happy ending. If you wish to know more just go wiki Sophie Scholl and read up. The film's title gives you a huge clue already.

Yup so i'm recommending this show to anyone who still reads this wreck of a blog. An absolute must-watch, you won't regret it. It has gotten me hooked on history involving Germany so i think i'm going to borrow Der Untergang (Downfall) to watch, a show about Hitler's final 12 days.

Until the next post, goodbye.

A sea of green

Hello. I realise i procrastinate alot when it comes to blogging. I'm sorry haha.

My hair's getting quite long right now (some say its unruly), yeah so i'm reduced to wearing a cap whenever i head out. Figure i'd miss my hair when enlistment comes, so i'm leaving those strands on my head to grow as much as they can. While they still can. 

Returned from a trip to white sands. As usual every sunday weekend, i'll go to pasir ris to meet the army guys one last time before they book in. met tujin first, followed by weizhou, and then ted, all one by one. Didn't meet with ych this time though, heard his dad's sending him to cdo camp straight, so yeah take care man! grow your biceps over this 2 weeks and show me!

The upcoming week is a dreadful routine. Sleep late, wake up late. Be a statue in front of the PC for the entire day. How unhealthy. I hereby declare that i shall exercise, YES EXERCISE. run swim fly, whatever. And yes, vday's coming. No one to spend with, sigh. HAHA.

I've gone back to listening to music again so i got myself a pair of earphones from challenger and a 2.5mm plug with a 3.5mm jack to fit my mediocre mp3 player of a phone. Hope the battery still lasts. 

Ok i'm off to catch Sophie Scholl on okto 10pm. A show about a German heroine who opposed the Third Reich during Nazi Germany. Bye

Nothing to do

Hello blog i'm back. With nothing to do. Except maybe blog.

Okay here is a list of possible things that i can do right now:

1. Race all day on nfs most wanted and beat Blacklist #8 and get my Ford Mustang =O=O=O! (trust me it gets reeaally boring, except maybe the cars)

2. Play through Max Payne 2 and savour every kill in awe-inspiring bullet-time. (as if i haven't seen enough)

3. Turn on the telly. Ok i just did. Almost every channel is airing re-runs. Nothing good.

4. Eat. Very unhealthy at this time of day/night.

5. Sleep. Waste of time.

Boredom is really a killer. I've looked through all my feeds and even so, nothing interesting is coming out of famous local bloggers. Sigh. I'm planning to take a walk around town to look for part-time jobs after my previous stint ended just before CNY. Being jobless really sucks. Now i'm getting hungry all of a sudden. Maybe it's a sign to go sleep, and i think i will.

Someone tell me what to do!

- Bored to Death x 999

Me versus Boredom

So bloody bored. Sleep's a chore. 

Wake up. Switch on the PC. Plonk down in front of it. Wait for the next 17 hours to pass.

The four walls are killing me. Help!

Inventors have nothing better to do

Check out this gadget, a Sony Rolly, grooving to Shakira's Hips Don't Lie. It's basically just a dancing mp3 player, and a product made by schizo inventors IMO. It's pricey at 350 pounds and what good does it do besides shake and spin and flash lights in rhythm to songs? The sound quality isn't great anyway.

But i have to admit, it looks kinda cute in action. The lights are lovely in the dark as well (check out the 2nd vid). Enjoy!

Return of the Weblog(ger)

Yes i'm finally back. Back to blogging. Hurray.

What to do? Most of my friends are already in NS, and i have approx. 1.5 months to go. Boo.

Sorry i've been lazy, yes very lazy, to update this wreck of a blog the past MONTH. Wow it has really been long. Lots to catchup yeah. I think i will omit prom part 2 because i guess everybody has seen all the pictures already, so not much of a point yup. ( to peejay : SEE i didn't leave it until i ORD HAHA )

As usual i'll post up interesting stuff here whenever i stumble across them on the web. In the meantime, i'm rummaging through my stacks of CDs to find the Beijing photos so i can share them with you. Its gonna take a while so maybe next post they'll be up. Sorry!

As of now, i'm jobless after my previous stint ended just before CNY, so yes, i'm rotting at home again. Sigh. New job come please! ( if only that would happen )

Its nothing much, but i guess this can be counted as sort of a revival post. "RETURN FROM THE DEAD, MY BLOG!"

Be back soon!
