Long time din blog!!

My exams ended last Thurs, to celebrate this day, some of my classmates gathered at Marchie, Suntec to celebrate this fateful event with sumptuous meal.

Well, Marchie’s food ain’t cheap, should have settled down with a buffet, but in order not to be a spoil-sport, I joined in. As usual, I had my salmon cream-sauced spaghetti and with tomato cube-toppings, a bottle of pink lemonade and banana with ice-cream waffle (yummy :-P)… The food’s great, so was the ambience. The seven of us shared our corny jokes and past experiences in examinations. It was a great group to be with, these people ain’t afraid to share anything “embarrassing”, haha….

Back to the exams topic. The papers not that difficult, just some of the questions from Building Technology is alittle unexpected. There are also a lot of questions on sketching & annotations, which are really time-consuming. I think I’ve sketched real badly, not using ruler because lack of time. Really hope I can still pass. I had more confidence in Urban Land Use & Development instead.

My examinations only stretches about 1 week, there are some students whose examinations took almost two weeks to complete!


***********************************************************************

Aunt told me that my pet male terrapin has disappeared!! (eversince my last examination) It was so used to crawling out from its basin and crept into those hidden corners of the house. This time round, it can’t be found anywhere. We had searched everywhere, looking under the bed, behind the closet, bending to every dark corners, looking along the corridors too, has it actually crawled out the iron door grilles and left home? I won’t mind if someone is kind enough to keep him as pet if they find him along the roads. I hope he can find a better home somewhere… (sob..)

"Siao wu gui.. where are you? Pls dun play hide & seek with me ah, can or not??"


*shrugs*


Visited the Sitex on Sat morning, 12pm. Actually I wanted be there before it opened its doors.. hehe.. abit kiasu, but I felt reluctant to wake up so early in the morning. Crowd wasn't that bad, browsed along the booths, my wish-list is to get a lap-top. (Well, my 4-year old PC is dying…) . Was interested in getting Toshiba Satelite series at first, but wasn’t pleased with the fact that I could not pay by installment. So, I dropped by Dell to take a look.

The Dell’s booth was really flooded with people. Consumers were busy laying their hands-on the latest models and I was there waiting for my chance to feel the weight of the exhibited laptops. Dell Inspirion 630m is not bad, about 2.5kg so I gave it a 2nd-thought and purchased it with 24-mths installment plan. There was a Spin and Win too, and I managed to win 1 pair of movie tickets from GV (well, the customer in-front me won a webcam!! How envious.. :( )

Just have to wait for another 2 weeks for my new lap-top to be delivered to my house.

*shrugs again*

Sis and Aunt are asking me, why do I still need a lap-top since I already have a PC which is still working fine. I told them that I need it to do research in NLB (typing in the reference instead of photocopying or writing) provided my PC is already so old, is going to die anytime. (I take great care of it and is still in great-shape, except the warranty has expired and the CD-Writer is faulty). The most important reason is perhaps I may be moving out soon, it’d be less convenient for me to carry this ‘baby’ with me anytime.

Went for Mingen’s (ex-comic fastfood member) 21st birthday, which we thought “Hey!! I thought he is over 21st year old already?”.. haha….

Shared the gift with 2 other friends. After that, I decided to actually try walking back to Tampines Bus Interchange, shouldn’t be a great problem since the place is so near, might as well save another 68 cents and loose some weight. I took the challenge. As I walked along, I noticed the roads are getting more and more deserted, street lights getting more and more dimmer, I felt alittle scared but still regained my courage to “plough” on…. I even tried hailing the taxi, but it din stop.. hehe…

Finally, I saw people (sign of relief) and reached the bus-stop with bus that can take me straight home. Little that I realized I took a ‘long’ one, took me almost 30 mins which I can actually reach the same destination by taking the shortcut (15 mins).


The Great Tampines Walk!! Suddenly, I realised how stupid I am that I din take the short-cuts
:-(


Anyway, a lesson learnt for that day.

Cut my fringe.. cos, my parting in front is thinning.... lost too much hair these few days~ :( 

Some NUS lecturers are such f*****s
(warning: offensive tone)

I was merely asking that whether the answers could be uploaded into the school website.


Dear Prof Chua,

I wonder if u could upload into IVLE if it is not too late for u.
Understand that u actually placed the hardcopies next to the results on board.

Thanks.

regards,
Xinhui

He replied sullenly.

Go to the notice board.

What the f***!!!

You think we part-time students are so free to go to the notice board to look at yr precious answers har???? What's so difficult to post into school website? You got copyright is it?

To think that he is the Department Head makes me puke. I hope you will continue to drop more hair and get heart disease that you crapped such corny (seriously not funny) during lectures.

After the exam, I will throw back the notes in front of your face. I'll make sure they will fly all around the place and look really dramatic like dollar notes falling from the sky.

Silly old fool, oily balded, cynical f***face!!!

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (Korean:Chinjeolhan geumjassi)

Taken from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0451094/plotsummary

Plot in summary:

Lee Geum-Ja, at the age of 19, goes to prison for the murder and abduction of a child on behalf of her accomplice Mr. Baek, only to find out that she is betrayed. While in prison, she carefully prepares for her revenge by winning the hearts of her fellow inmates with her kindness, thus earning herself the nickname 'kind Ms. Geum-Ja'. Upon her release from prison after 13 years, she finally sets out to seek revenge on Baek, with the help of her former prison mates.

I can't make out whether is it a compact mirror or her handphone, but she looked extremely beautiful with those red eye-shadow

Spoilers ahead!!!

It is also called the Trilogy of the "Revenge" series by Park Chan Wook, the same director for "Old Boy" only abit milder and prettier.

Think about 'The Bride" in "Kill Bill", only abit more intelligent and classier.

Lee Youngae plays the innocent woman Geum Ja, who admitted to the crime (of kidnapping and suffocating a nine year old boy to death) she never commit in order to save her 1 year old daughter from a psychotic kidnapper (Mr Baek) who enjoys killing young children. She was put behind bars for 13 years and vowed to herself she would get back her sweet revenge in a beautiful manner.

During her imprisonment, she made friends with those who were bullied by the 'butch' (a fat woman who killed her husband and mistress and ate them, but was eventually 'killed' by Geum Ja's bleached meals for 3 years!!!), donated a kidney to a bank robber and helped to take care of an old female North Korean spy. She was called the 'Witch' and 'Goddess' as she looked kind and friendly. (she put on those red eye shadow because people says she looked too kind) In fact, she helped those people because she was expecting them to return her the favour to assist in her revenge when she was free from prison.

Although it was purely on revenge, the plot potrayed in a very dark humourous way. Some parts that are quite disturbing where Mr Baek was being tied to a chair waiting for his sentence. Instead of Geum Ja 'killing' him alone, she called upon those parents of the kidnapped childen and played those tapes that Mr Baek had tortured and "finished off" those children. There was a shocking part where Mr Baek did something to the poor child (in the video) which really made my hair stand and nearly fell off from the chair... (ain't going to tell u.. u better go and watch.. hehe...) Eventually... due to hatred, all parents took turns to kill Mr Baek, finally, the most crucial part ended with the grandmother stabbed an incredibly long scissors into the back of Mr Baek's neck.....

Also refer to http://www.shaw.com.sg/upload/sympathyforladyvengeance/m-sympathyforladyvengeance.htm

The scenes may look gross from how I described, but they are very masterly played.. in fact, very violently beautiful.

Some parts which I think are what they are:

1) Guem Ja's daughter, Jenny is also Mr Baek's child. That's the reason why he did not kill her but sent her to the orphange and was adopted by the Australian family.

2) Guem Ja killed the poor dog bought on the streets because she wants to learn how to fire in close range from her beautiful new gun custom-made for her.

3) Mr Baek hates children because he is sterile, but it can be a lie told by Guem Ja because she wants to hide the truth.

4) The white mist found in Guem Ja's apartment is actually the ghost of the boy who wants to wake Jenny up to inform her that her mommy is coming back home, not any gas leak... hehehe....

5) The ghost of the dead boy who suddenly "grew up" in front of Guem Ja still left me scratching my head.. ( I dun quite understand the meaning...)


Anyway, go catch it!!
