so the official date is 1st of march.. poor timo...
i watched
troy again. i realize i still don't like this movie! except that now i know why the "urat" in our leg is called "urat Achilles"... (what's "urat" in English??)
au contraire, i've been watching
the last samurai several times. how could i miss this movie when it was in the theatres ya? my brother accompanies me faithfully everytime i watch (erm, he's a war addict btw).
o ya, my bros influence me to watch some cartoon titled
the adventure of jimmy neutron... abt sum whiz kid with IQ of 2183 or sumthin.. damn funny la..
i'm tutoring two kids soon... one is senior high, another is junior high. and my pay... no no i won't convert it to SGD, it's too embarassing. ten thousand rupiahs per hour. nevermind... it's all bcoz my sister argued that even her tutors, who are holders of bachelor degrees already, only get thirty thousand rupiahs per hour, so my price should be low, low, lower than that.
neverminddddd... i just wanna teachhhh... don't really care about how much i will get..
i'm down with ganmao since yesterday. poor me. ganmao is the one of the worst anyone can get, coz it isn't painful, it's just plain irritating...
word of exit: this entry, i think, is just my way of showing a bitttt of responsibility over the taking care of my blog... so forgive the small but a lot of crappy things..

Little brothers are little brothers, no matter how old they are.
Boxing is a common view in my house these days, both on-TV and off-TV.. what's with guys and fighting ya?
Chinese midterm test's coming! :( The words are getting harder, in every aspect of it. Still dunno how to pronounce properly la.... maybe will never know how to unless i got someone to practice with me everyday. Hmm. I think elvina can. But it's impossible coz I dunno how to reach her walaoooo.
Mom is getting quite agitated these days.. easily provoked by small stuff (like a pillow that is slightly off-angle or a PC that suddenly shuts down).. even plan to quit her job coz she thinks pple in her office are discriminating against women.. hmm.. but i see a new watch on her wrist.. so i dunno what is her actual mood really. But hey she's accompanying me to Sing to collect results! Nice Mom. Of course she also wants to shop... haha.
Meanwhile, this is still five months away from SPMB (some kind of National Universities Entrance Test), and my sister is already very worked up on what to choose to study and where... While this is better than being nonchalant, I think she spends more time worrying than actually getting down to real work... and, as a result, starting everybody (except the two too-young-to-worry brothers) to get a bit jittery abt this as well...
Shoot Im not sleepy but I think I'd better try to sleep now... it's 2.48AM, and tmr at 6.30AM i still have to drive my bro for his cca...
PS. I know how to sing Chi happy birthday already! Zhu ni shengri kuaile4x!

Finally managed to inject a lil more fun to my otherwise sooo-boooriiinnggg holiday, thanks to my brothers who were persuasive enough to convince my parents to visit Wisata Bahari Lamongan (WBL). This one is a water-based, newly-opened theme park located in Lamongan, a small town some 70km from my city.I had a lot of first-times :)First time entering a ghost house. (i know it's pathetic.. haha)Disappointments! The ghost house was named "Rumah Sakit Hantu" or Ghost Hospital, but all they had to offer was bloody dolls which act as wounded patients, doctors, and corpses... so not-scary. We all screamed for fun...First time felt fun and pain and the same time.There is this thing modelled after the deck of a ship. Every "passengers" sit there and supposedly feels the sensation of how cruising on a terribly broken down ship is like. So I board on it... and for a full length of three minutes, I was shaken up, down, left, right, back, fro... everyone is jumping up and down from their seats... results? good laughter and butt pain!First time seeing that time actually stops at some places.Passed by some villages on my way to WBL.Picture where we all live. Hmm.. let's say, Singapore..Population 4 million. High-rise buildings. Buses to ride to school. Malls to visit on weekends. Movies. Sushi. Pasta. Flashy cars. Pubs. Computer on our desk. Aircons in our rooms. Showers, even bathtubs. Remember our hostel? On the front, there is a carpark, also security guard's office. In a few years there'll be a condominium right in front. Last year there was still that scary, ran-down, greyish building in front. To the back, there is the noisiness of a secondary school, its CCAs that always disturb our peace on weekends, that always force us to go mug at McDonald's or Starbucks... All the buzz of a city.Now picture a village consist of about 300 people. Homes made from woodsheets. Unnumbered. Large empty space in front of their houses, where they all dry their rice grains. People ride bicycle to go to their fields, or to the neighbouring village. No television. Men wear sarong, women wear batik. People talking in front of their homes with their neighbours. People sell vegetables and meats door-to-door every morning.It's like developments, globalization, or any other big word that apply in the city never reach here! Nice to witness :)Hooked on to the TV for the past two weeks thanks for Australian Open, The Grand Slam of Asia Pacific (or so they say). Tennis is a good thing to watch!Roger Federer is a genius. I like the way he moves in the court, it's so efficient, cool and no-effort, yet he could punch in shots that could be deadly to the opponents. Two (out of seven in the tournament) of his opponents actually threw some degree of anger to the court when facing him.l.. frustration, I suppose?Furthermore, there's just somethin clean and symmetrically handsome about his face! Like it! Im a new Federer fan.(My mom and my sis are Baghdatis's fans).In Women's section, salute for Martina Hingis who made a blazin comeback from her three-year injury absent by reaching the quarters. She's truly a Queen.I'm addicted to simulation games... Been playin The Sims and its expansion packs and all The Tycoon series.. anyone know any other interestin simulation games? Coz I'm dying to know!!Last but not least, in chronological order:Happy Belated 19th Birthday for Dear Roommate! I miss you...Happy Chinese New Year! I actually miss CNY in Singapore with all its redness and mandarin oranges..Happy Islamic New Year!Happy working for everyone working... ker-chinggg...
