Thank You
For Smoking!
Recently watched this incredibly BRILLANT movie!
Yes, its named Thank you for Smoking.
And it totally rocks!
Basically, its a story about Spin!
How I ASPIRE to be able to talk like that!
Pure WIT!
The movie tells a story of a lobbyist for Tobacco..
Yes, how could anyone lobby for Tobacco?
On an average, 2700 people die per day of Smoking in the US!
Thats TWO major plane crashes per day!
Its totally UN-doable and UN-ethical! haha
How can anyone ever encourage people to SMOKE on TV!
But Aaron Eckhart who Acted as Two-face in the Dark Knight..
Did it beautifully and charmingly!
You'll actually find yourself supporting and feeling for the guy!
It's totally comical on how they presented the movie.
Its NOT a movie that encourages Smoking..
But ONE that tells a story of Freedom and Choice!
It's DAMN exciting to watch Aaron Eckhart (Nick Taylor)
Defend BIG TABACCO!
He is just totally calm, witty and charismatic!
Furthermore, there are truths in what he is saying..
So, anyone who's interested to watch a movie..
Totally suggest that you buy the DVD!
(you will need the subtitles)
Having a 3day week means that lunch is seldom at school..
Since I dont have a proper lunch break..
Lunch is usually 20mins running to the Canteen,
Getting some bread/pancake/samosa,
And running back to class again..
So I will drive out during my 'OFF' days to get a proper one!
These few weeks, I've been frequenting Eminent Plaza..
Somewhere near Lavander/Boon Keng..
And getting my Carrot Cake!
Its seriously darn NICE!
One of the best carrot cakes I've ever eaten in my life..!
So I guess I'll end here..
It's starting to get REAL busy in school..
Cheers!

Serene is BORED
But Contented!
School has been very boring!
The usual assignments, projects and stuff..
And the lecturers' voices just seem to fade off..
Everytime they speak, I stare..
Yes, its very horrible..
But with a 3day week!
And daily afternoon naps!
What more can I ask for?
Been having loads of Jap food lately..
Haha! Yum yum!
Been deprived of a good Japan vacation this year..
Wonder when will I get a chance to go back..
After 2 consuecutive years of June Japan holidays..
This June really sucked!
Work and No PLAY!
My daily dose of DVD dramas/movies carries on..
And it rocks!
Dug out my Lord of the Rings Trilogy..
And went through 3 extensive days of watching!
10hours of one of the world's greatest movies ever made!
Also watched 2 movies about the Holocaust..
The Planist and Schindler's List..
Its really sad that this tradegy actually happened!
I mean how can this much hate get through without anyone intervening!
So many years of terror and no one bothers to help..
Especially Schindler's List, Oskar Schindler is a real hero!
He is the only one that did the right thing..
The last part of the movie was just heart-wrenching..
You ask yourself, why wouldn't anyone else help?

Happy NDP!
And Beijing Olympics!
Wells, actually I couldn't careless about the events..
It was another BORING day for me..
Was supposed to have another gathering cum movie marathon,
with my Secondary school pals..
But it was cancelled last minute..
So it was tooo late to ask other friends if they were available..
So yah, I slacked at home..
And 'slack' in my dictionary is equivilant to..
Waking up, Lunch, Watch TV, Nap, Dinner, Watch TV then Sleep..
How EXCITING could one's life get? haha
Anyways, this year's fighter plane performance was fantastic!
With my balcony that offers excellent views..
Why would I want to go to Marina Bayfront to squeeze?
I feel like cursing my Strategic Management tutor,
for Forcing us to go back to school on Monday..
And its for a dumb 2hours only!
Come on lahs! Have a Break!
Even if you dont need one..
You shouldnt be depriving your students,
from their much-DESERVED rest!
The past week was a GREAT one!
My life has returned back to its topsy turvy timing..
During my internship,
I couldnt keep myself awake after 12midnight!
But now, I couldnt sleep even at 4am!
Haha, and I've been catching up on my movies!
I can watch up to 3 NEW movies a day!
And I'm loving every second of it!
Furthermore, I've been going back to the cinemas!
Its been SOOOOOOO long!
The Dark Knight was really good!
And that's the reason behind the change of blogskin!
Heath Ledger ROX as The Joker!
Its such a PITY that he has passed on..
Anyways, till my next post..
Cheers!

I Miss My Life in TP!
Very very much!Wells, I've seriously got nothing to do..
So here I am, faithfully trying to keep my blog alive!
Im in my LAST year in NTU!! yeas!
Its been 2years, time really flies..
I just ended my internship at the Zoo..
Its been almost 2weeks..
Wells, I wont say that I miss working.. (like who will?)
But I miss the people there..The most rewarding thing during my 3month stint..
Was knowing all the fun and great personalities there!
Yes! Even the animals are soooo lovable!
My last day of Internship ended with dinner at NYDC..

I went back to TP today..
I MUST say that I really miss life there..
Its really totally different from NTU..
Especially the lecturers!
My TP lecturers ROX soooo much!
And the food at TP is just heavenly compared to NTU!
Had my lunch with sharon at the Design School..
It's such a pity that CurryPuffs are only available on Wed and Fri!
If not I would have at least gotten half a dozen!
It's Thursday! And guess what!
My first week in school has ended!
Having a 3day week really rocks!
But I hope to really settle down and get back to studying..
I havent been concentrating on mugging..
And my results suffered..
I've been like hovering around the bottom all along..
University had taken its toll on me..
Its like nothing is ever enough..
There's still people working twice as hard as you..
And most importantly, they are twice as intelligent!
Wells, thats life I guess?
I'm gonna end here..
Hope that I can get some time to blog again soon..
Cheers!

...Looking back...
Hahas! Looking at my blog message last year..
I noticed that I actually did fulfil my NewYear resolution!
That is to get my driving license within the year..
Yeas! Proud of myself..
I still remember I celebrated my NewYear last year..
With my dearest Wendy mummy, Pam and Marvin..
The fireworks and stuff..
Time really files! Its been a year again..
Last year I was still in Poly..
Freaking out about how difficult it is to get into NTU..
And now, Im HERE already!
And already a SEMester is over!
Although I really did not do really well in my exams..
But I'm really grateful that I passed everything..
Wells, in 2days.. The new term is going to start..
Now.. I can only hope that I'll get use to the life in uni..
So far, It hasn't been easy..
At least for me.. But I'll have to try..
Had 2 gatherings recently..
One with my uni buddies and the other with my Poly pals..
Really miss them!

Hm, had been to watch the Project Superstar recording..
How shocking can it be right??
Hahas! And wendy and I went to the Results show too..

..My Driving License!..
Yeahs!! I passed my driving test!!
hahas! One time pass somemore..
I'm like SOoooooo lucky!
It was like raining on that day..
The road was slippery..
It was drizzling..
And I got the toughest route..
I was telling myself.. Sure to FAIL!
hahas! but luckily I did not..
Out of the 9 students, 5male and 4female..
Only 3 gurls passed..
I think one met with a accident..
Anyways, I got my actual driving license yesterday!
So exciting!! hahas!
Here it is..

This is so freaking cool, I can actually drive on the road..
Except after I buy my P-plate.. hahas!
Logging Off..
