Four Christmas

Mood: Happy :)
Music: Staind - Fade

Book - $20
Movie - $6
Lunch - $6.50
Toy - $7
Food at muji - $2
Starbucks - $6
Total: $47.5

Experience - Priceless.

Went down to Borders to find The Shadow Of The Wind. I've read it before, but I want to get my own copy, and now I do! It's the pretty version that looks like this.

Luwin and I were talking about the different covers like:

And both of us like the first one (Angela's got that too!) with the exception of his $60 "Limited Edition" book haha! And we came to a conclusion: So much for 'Don't judge a book by its cover' heh. Anyway. The book is many stories woven together; a book within a book with secrets planted between chapters. It's like love, adventure, suspense, mystery, history all in one. And even though I'm not able to give a nice blurb because I hardly ever write such stuff, I really highly recommend reading it because I like it so much I actually bought a copy for myself. And that speaks a lot because out of the almost 40 books I've read this year, I didn't buy a single one of them.

Next up, Four Christmas. To put it crudely, it sucked. There was NO EYE CANDY (okay this is so superficial but still. which movie doesn't have eye candy?!) and secondly, I didn't like the way they portrayed Christmas and Christians. As F451 (we can never really get enough of this book can we?) says "about the way we are dressing Christ up, or is it dressing him down?" yeahh. And I hated the way they depicted the charismatic worship and how church is like a concert, and it doesn't even talk about the true meaning of Christmas :(.

Plus, the storyline is tres draggy. Imagine viewing a visit to a family x4. One dysfunctional family makes for comedy, 4 dysfunctional families makes for a torture to sit through. There wasn't much character development, so they appeared very one-dimensional and predictable. If I had to rate how much I enjoyed it, it'll probably be 1.5/5 stars. And that's because my friend and I were making anti-climatic comments to ammuse ourselves and talking about a make-believe ghost under our chairs hmm.

Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon do not make a good on screen couple it's so fake. Okay I'm just biased because I want to see her with Mark Ruffalo from Just Like Heaven (whoo!) and I don't like Vince Vaughn why in the world did Jenn An go out with him sigh.

Rants over. On a happy note, I got to drink the green tea frap (otherwise know as "green diarrhoea" to Ryan Higga haha). On the way home, my train stopped just ONE stop before my stop as the train track "folded". Whatever that means man. So unlucky. Plus, on the train ride home, there was this man staring me down it was so freaky. I stared back, and he wasn't even ashamed. In fact, he stared harder! Fine he won the 'staring competition' it was really scary I couldn't stand looking at his face it gives me nightmares sigh. If he wanted the seat, he could have just asked right! In any case, I didn't give up my seat since he looked 30/40plus and perfectly capable of standing :D

Teevee time soon! :D

Prince Caspian

Mood: Tired :O
Music: Rachael Yamagata

Today, I got my back social life! After Chemistry I decided to stay back in school and do more Chemistry (organic Chemistry whooo =/) and then off I went to town for the first time in a billion years! (okay, maybe not a billion, but at least a million)

WOOHOOO. And then we were just making fun of the whole movie, and there was a couple in front of us that kept snogging!

"Whoa. Such a big army. They sure die"

"I don't understand what you're talking about"
[They just want a war see..]
"Oh. Right."

"Did you hear that!"
[WHAT WHAT!]
"The couple!"
[What were the couple saying?]
"They weren't saying anything! They were KISSING! You know, the kissing sounds!"
[Oh gross.]

"The water man looks like Moses!"

Haha but the movie was quite nice. Lots of Biblical illusions, like how we must look hard enough, how we don't see certain things because maybe we don't want to, how sometimes out of desperation and lack of trust, we turn to the devil for help and deliverance. And quite funny. How that water guy looked like Moses but then he was throwing and drowning them in water instead of parting the sea HAHA.

And I've got three new books! (Borrowed though, but still, I can't wait to read them!) :) :)

The best (or healthy) relationships are those that don't destroy friendships.

School's For Fools

Mood: Happy and tired :) :o
Music: Jay Chou - Secret

Haha I'm totally in love with that song! :D
After a really unproductive day in school, (dammit I fell asleep during lesson for the first time in weeks), in which I did alright for my oral, bad for my EMath, horrendous for my Amath, disgustingly atrocious for my english writing (seriously, I'm HORRIFIED at my marks), and a really depressing day spent playing with the Rubik's cube, I went home with mummy in her car!

And almost perspired to death in the sweltering heat. Seriously, does the air con even function? And my mummy's feeling sick, my daddy's sick, my knee is terribly painful due to stupid unforseen circumstances, which I will explain later, even if I wasn't REALLY sick, the weather would've made me sick. :(

Anyway, about my poor leg, I fell down during the first ten minutes of playing rounders. Damn I didn't even get to hit the first base and I fell! :( And now my knee is only capable of being in a stationary position without hurting, pus infested, scarred for life, disgustingly horrible. (okay kidding about the pus part, the rest im not)

Anyway fast forward to today. After eating lunch in front of a tv that was playing anything, my sis and I decided to play Secret, and omgg I so shouldn't have cos I ended up crying like shiat and totally embarrassed myself infront of my brother and sister. And omg the movie's so damn damn nice! :D

And thus my day was highly unproductive, as you can tell. :(
But at least I spent my physics lesson sorting worksheets! :D

Get well soon mummy and daddy! :)
