"You had my heart, at least for the most part."

Things have been difficult. I mean, I thought Friday the 13th was alright actually. Like, the only bad thing that happened to me was the stupid vector test. Freaking disaster. But that was to be expected, I guess. I spent the previous night studying for history, which I'm more likely to pass anyways so....... And then there was the Chinese test, which I might actually pass as well. I don't know.

But Friday the 13th WAS unlucky. Just when I thought it was gonna be an awesome day, it didn't. It turned out badly. It was disastrous. So I went to sleep last night, pretty upset. And when I woke up this morning, nothing changed. Huh. I don't know what I expected. But it just made me more depressed when I realized that everything's still the same. Messed up.

And there's no more Magnum ice-cream in the freezer. So I have no ice-cream to get depressed over. So what do I do? I boot up the Mac and start downloading emo screamo songs. And I now have an entire playlist for sad songs. I know it's unhealthy to indulge in my own misery but right now, I can't stop singing along to the chorus of 'Disenchanted'.

I don't want to be myself anymore. I don't want to go back to society and be normal and act like I'm awesome and fun and everything's great because right now, it's not. I got in too deep and now I can't get out. Which sucks major balls. Because I should've known what was gonna happen since I've already experienced it before. I know what happens when I push for too much. And yet I still did. Looks like I really am stupid.

So. I don't know what I'm gonna do to make myself feel better. Maybe meet with Azira and begin the never-ending whining. I don't know. All I know is that I need the ShoeThrowers to make everything okay again.

Where my bitches at?

PPP Success.

So the Drama Club's Post-Production Party (at my place BTW) was a surprisingly successful event. Well, I don't really know what to say except that I HELPED TO START THE FIRE AND ACTUALLY COOKED. Like OMG. That was pretty amazing. Nuff said. I love pictures.

The Vice-Prezes. I look retarded.

What are they PLAYING?! Pictionary?!

Fadhil : Master of Pictionary.

Mr Seah and Rodney. Nuff said.

The seniors <3

The J1s <3

Our 'fun' faces.

NYJC Drama Club 2009-10

There are actually more pictures. But I'm also actually really lazy. Photoblogs FTW.

As such.

2010-07-03T21:32:00.002+08:00

So life's pretty much same old same old. I have neither the time nor the motivation to change the blogskin. I have neither the time nor the motivation to even blog anymore. My midyears are gonna suck balls. Srsly.

And my life is dominated by Final Fantasy. For real. I feel like I'm living and breathing for the damn series. Even Paramore's taken a backseat. So has my social life. Wait. WHAT social life? I don't even have a social life anymore.

And my White Ball of Healing Light is gone. She doesn't care. So I don't either. My studies are down the hill. My Blackberry Taylor is starting to lag and get really sucky. My iPod Touch Zee is... well, it's an iPod. LOL. My teddy bear Hayley is doing little to comfort me. My camera Avril is just lying around.

And I feel like my life is wasting away day by day. I'm never gonna become a somebody, I'm just gonna be me. And 'me' is a loser. Awesome winning legend no more.

School seems pointless now. So does life.

I hope to return soon. Hopefully cheerfully.

One big story.

2010-06-18T15:45:00.038+08:00

"It'll be fun while it lasts." - Woody, Toy Story 2

I'll just say it off the bat. Toy Story 3 is definitely the most amazing animated Pixar film I will ever see this year. In a sentence, it is truly the most perfect ending to a wonderful animated trilogy that's been around since 1995.

It's been 11 years since Toy Story 2 hit the cinemas. And now in 2010, John Lasseter returns with Toy Story 3. The grand finale to an adventure that no other cartoon can compete with.

Like the previous 2 installments, Toy Story 3 doesn't fail to deliver what the series does best. Fun, comedic dialogue, comical action sequences, the witty underlying innuendos in conversations and of course, the heartwarming scenes that never fail to make you tear up. Even if just a bit.

So Toy Story 3 picks up when Andy turns 17 and is about to head off to college. And it's been years since the toys have been played with. And mind, his room is no longer filled with toys. The green army leaves. RC is gone. Along with the dinosaur eggs, the binoculars, Mr. Spell, Rocky. All of them are gone. And yes, including Bo Peep and her flock of sheep.

The remaining toys are Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Hamm, Rex, Slinky, Mr and Mrs Potato Head and Bullseye. Oh and Barbie, who gets dumped by Molly, Andy's sister. So in a nutshell, Andy's mum falls under the impression that Andy wanted to trash his toys so she brings them down to the road curb to be collected by the garbage dudes. But, knowing the toys, OF COURSE they're not gonna let themselves be trashed like that. They escape into the box marked 'Sunnyside' which is a daycare centre, in the hopes of getting playtime with children and forever experiencing love without ever getting old.

But of course things don't work out. The daycare centre is run by an evil bear at the top of a hierarchy built by him and the story unfolds.

And this is definitely the finest Toy Story installment. With the memories of the previous 2 episodes, you are constantly reminded of everything these toys have been through together. Even the opening sequence, a little scenario played out by young Andy with his toys, is tear-jerking enough because you know that this beautiful childhood memory can never be played again because Andy's growing up and there's not much possibility left of him playing with his toys.

When the toys all hold hands, not even able to say goodbye to each other as they draw nearer to the fiery incinerator waiting to burn them, you will be thankful for the darkness of the theater so that no one will be able to see you cry.

Now I just want to take a moment to revisit some of my favorite moments (and characters) in the past 2 episodes of this toy story :)

"What do you say I get someone else to look after the sheep tonight?"

"Buzz Lightyear to Star Command. Come in, Star Command."

"Look, I'm Picasso."

"Look, we're all very impressed with Andy's new toy..."

Hamm and Mr Potato playing Buzz Lightyear poker cards.

Buzz and Woody on RC, catching up with the delivery truck.

Crossing the road in Toy Story 2.

"He's MINT in the box! Never been opened!"

"We've waited countless years for this day."

"Let's... go home."

This has got to be my favorite part in the entire series.

Well, that concludes Toy Story. And my favorite experiences from the series. I love the story, I love the characters, I love Jessie the most though, because she's my favorite character, I love toys.

And I'll never ever throw my toys away. No matter what :')

1032 Gathering of June 2010.

2010-06-16T10:01:00.013+08:00

The 1032 gathering of the month was held at Jerrold's house :) And I think everyone who showed up at the gathering should just go laugh in the faces of those who didn't attend. Like, seriously. Like, the gathering was really that much fun! :D

The purpose of last night's gathering was mainly to celebrate the birthdays of 1032's June babies! Namely Pauline, Eugene and Xiao Hui!

The birthday kids :)

Of course, a party wouldn't be a party if no one got wet... but unfortunately, I don't have photographic evidence of the wetness. For obvious reasons. My mum would just kill me. So instead, I'm going to show you guys pictures of us when everyone was decently clothed! TEEHAA~

Myself and Melody

Myself and Jing Yi

Kamalia and myself

Alina, Pauline, Eugene and myself

Most of 1032 :)

And that's it for now! :D 1032 is THE class. Like, I can't imagine ending up in any other class. It just wouldn't be as awesome. We make NYJC look good.

TEEHAA~

2 minute quickie.

As I'm typing this, I can smell lunch in the kitchen and I'm really hungry right now. I feel like I'm starting to get back into the blogosphere with that last post and all I can say is, expect a new blogskin, more movie reviews and more bitchiness.

And I've adopted a No-Tagboard policy. Y'know, in case of spammers. Had lots of those in the past 3 years.

Anywho, I've updated my movie list and music will be coming along soon (still pending, BTW) and I'll be back :) For real, this time.

so now then.

"What do I have left that the world can still take?" - Hayley Williams

As you would have noticed, this blog's entire history is gone. That's right, bitches. All the awesome movie reviews (i.e. Inglourious Basterds, Fame, Jennifer's Body, Vicky Cristina Barcelona) are gone. Well, I actually moved to Tumblr and it became a 47-page Paramore photoblog but in the end, I guess I phased out so I deleted that too.

Also, my FaceBook is gone. Yup, it's an 'Anti Peer Pressure' youth statement

made by me and I'm so proud of it. Anyways, to update everyone (via Twitter? IDK.) on what's gonna happen, I'm intending to reboot this blog. In the meantime, we're stuck with a dead tagboard, a neglected movie list and pretty cool blogskin that has to GO.

Here's what you've missed in the last 6 months :)

I'm in NYJC and this is my orientation group. Don't really like 'em, unfortunately.

More OG stuff.

We also have the Secondary School Debating Championships. The OPSS debaters 2010 are : Matin, Janziel and Qi Cheng.

Me and Joel Lim. He's now in Meridian JC, and was supporting MSHS.

I also helped the OPSS Student Council with their annual V-Day cookie baking. Below is Nadia, myself and Arina.

Yee Suan and I :) <3

And this is the best damn ass-kicking Student Council in Singapore.

And I was finally introduced to my class in NYJC. 1032 :D

Jerrold, Eugene, Samantha, myself and Victoria :D

While all that was happening, the Shoe Throwers also took the time to celebrate Praise's and Sarah's birthday by taking them bowling!

NYJC also had it's annual sports carnival. These are the frisbee players for 1032 and we got epically thrashed. But still happy. Eugene, Gasper, myself, Ada and Pauline.

OMG I LOVE THIS PHOTO SO MUCH.

Taken early in the morning, outside Dhoby Ghaut MRT. Still on the day of the carnival.

If you look closely, you can see the chao ang moh in the middle of the picture. That's our history lecturer. Guess who hates his guts?

This was taken on the last day of Term 1 when our entire class skipped the self-learning programmes and went out to play pool and bowling.

That same night was the Speech and Prize-Giving Night at OPSS. In this picture is myself and Eleanor.

After the celebration, the Shoe Throwers went to Mac. Below, we have Azira, Charlotte and myself.

We got one of Wei Zhe's bitches to take this for us.

We also had this history assignment called the ISP (supposedly stands for Independent Study Project) where different groups were assigned to put up performances for various historical events. Below is the 1032 H1 ISP group that did a pantomime on... um. Something.

And this is my group :) We're in the H2 class so it's apparently different. The group consists of classes 1015 and 1032.

I'm so proud to say that we totally nailed the performance. Our task was to do an epic poem on the Korean War.

And that's it for now. I actually have more but SOMEONE is rushing me to finish this post. So yeah.

About the ISP thing. Just wanna add a little something.

I didn't like our group at first. Like, it was too freaking huge and that made it difficult to coordinate meetings and stuff like that. Plus, it was SO awkward. Like, no one wanted to freaking talk and like, we were all just banking on the hope that we wouldn't be the first to perform.

And guess what?

We WERE the first to perform. So we got our act together and we finished everything in THREE sessions. Like, THREE sessions. That's pretty damn awesome. And in the process of all those rehearsals and toiling and suffering, I found out that our group was pretty cool as well :)

And not only that, my initial thoughts about NYJC being a humble communist abode are beginning to change. In fact, I'm practically ready to move on from my old friends. It seems harsh but things like that happen.

So. Suck it up, bitch.

And that's all for now.
