Ohoh! I'd seen the recent Motorola ad several times. I was playing my (beloved =)) psp and looked over at the tv when they were showing the "users" talking about how much they liked the product and I realised the girl is Huihan! She looks the same, yet somehow different. Or different yet somehow the same. =P Look older..sorry, more mature. =P Wonder what she's doing now. Are people looking more mature or just that I haven't seen them for a long time?
Just now at the NUS library, I was at the loans desk and these 2 guys were talking about my library card, I think. I was listening to my mp3 player so I pretended I didn't hear them. They were talking about the "new" library card looking different. The library card is blue, the matric card is white and orange. Afterwards it occurred to me that maybe they thought I was a freshie, thus the "new" library card. -_-" Unless there really was an older version of library card.
Sigh....

Just watched Armageddon... (Yay Bruce Willis =))
I love the combination of orchestra and rock in this mv. Why must they replace Bruce Willis's face with his? I remember Chris said Liv Tyler was crying in the mv because he is so ugly. Haha.. But it's a great song. The music for the part where the bomb went off reminded me of the part where little mermaid gave her voice to Ursala. (Just watched that recently too.) Let's see if I can find that video...
Here it is. Ends a little too abruptly though.
This is quite funny. Ha..
Yes..I do like the scene..
The Armageddon scene:
Somebody made a video tribute to Bruce Willis's and Billy Bob Thornton's characters, erm making them a gay couple. Ha.. Watch it if you want..

Stamper and Truman are not 'really' a couple, so don't get all flustered (or your hopes up) if you think they are. Most professional slash fans don't need this told to them but apparently I gave people too much credit when I thought I wouldn't have to explain this. lol. I made this because I wanted to do something different. Stamper/Truman is one of the most un-thought of couples in movie history and I happen to fancy them at the moment. I love the song thus voila, fan video made.
My Idol
I was looking for Pinky and the Brain pictures online and I came across this:
I had previously seen a video of him as the voice of Yakko from Animaniacs and Pinky so I recognised him and I guessed the other cartoon characters must be those he voiced. And I like those characters too! =)My fav ninja turtle is Raphael and the fat kid from Jimmy Neutron is very funny. But the others I either don't watch or I can't remember them. But 4 is enough to be my idol. Ha.. You can read more about him here.
This is the video I saw of him. You can skip the first minute. It's kinda boring.. I cannot believe he knows the damn song by heart! Zai... Actually my dream job is anything to do with animations or cartoons. Has been so for several years now. I think it's very fun to be voice actor for animated characters.. Can act cute. Haha.. But anything to do with animation I'll be very happy doing. And so, I'm going to be teaching for a few years to earn the $20k animation course fee and one year's living expenses.. Hopefully in 5 years' time I'll be living my dream and working for Pixar or Dreamworks. Ha.. Enjoy Rob Paulsen's "performance"...

Feels a little weird not having tuition with the kids this week. But it feels great to have free time. =) I watched I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry on Monday and I loved it. Very funny, very touching... I think it's my favourite Adam Sandler film thus far. Least favourite has to be Click. Didn't really like the duck thing... Anyway Chuck and Larry is really good. I wonder how many in the film are really gay. The only real gay I saw was Lance from N'Sync.

and sign the letter... I forgot how I found out that homosexual acts are illegal here but I remember it was only recently. I was very surprised. Anyway it's dumb. A lot of people would be in jail if it were enforced strictly.. Rt overheard 2 guys talking about the "acts" when we were doing project at Katong Park. Ha..
Last Sunday after tuition, at the bus stop, this woman beside me suddenly asked me if I believed in the Bible. I believe in God, I don't believe in the Bible. (I certainly would not believe you.) She said the Bible is like a father writing a letter to his son. I corrected her. The Bible is more like, according to her definition, a father telling somebody to write a letter to his son. He doesn't have much control over what that somebody writes in that letter, how much truth he puts in that letter. She then said the Bible was written by 40 (I forgot how many exactly) people of different backgrounds and ages blahblahblah so it's very trustworthy blahblahblah.. Then she wanted me to go church then they teach me for free, because they also learnt it for free, and I'll have nothing to lose. I told her I'll lose time. Haha.. She can't outtalk me on this. I've had too much practise.. Does my face scream SAVE ME?! Or does it say I am gullible. I have a weak mind. I will believe anything. I walk in NUS also have people asking if I go to church. Go away already. I definitely want nothing to do with narrow-minded people. That woman even said something about the Bible is scientific, and talked about the issue of the Earth being round. Weren't scientists accused of heresy and persecuted in the past? If they want to say that it didn't happen and that not all historical accounts are reliable, I can say the same about the Bible. There's no end to this. If people don't believe, just leave them alone. Go away. Shoo.

RIP
I just finished reading a book and my student spoiled my mood by sms-ing to complain about the amount of homework I gave him. .... He had ample time to do them, I bet he was playing the rest of Friday, dunno what he did today, and Monday is the very last paper of PSLE. Excuse me, you want to finish the work next year issit?
Anyway. I just finished reading The Five People You Meet In Heaven, by Mitch Albom. My student wanted to read the book after we did a close passage and I mentioned I know the book the passage was from. The passage was about a boy being abused, emotionally and physically, by his father. Apparently my student is as sadistic as ahem, wb. Ha.. This student is the other P6 girl. I keep telling her she wouldn't understand the book but she insists on reading it. The book isn't what she thinks it is, I'm guessing. I puke blood trying to explain to her what "metaphorical meaning" is, so I really don't know if she'll appreciate the book. Anyway the book isn't really that deep. The cynic in me wonders if there're so many coincidences in reality. But the coincidences weren't known to the people involved so maybe we don't realise there are that many coincidences around us. So at least she wants to read something. Kept telling her to read more because her English is really bad and erm, just not very bright. Reading smartens right? I'm going to dump a bunch of books at her place for her to read before we continue tuition next month...
Days ago, sorting through newspaper articles at work, I read about this little girl who altered her PSLE score of 152 to 252 to lie to her parents in 2001. (Or 2000.) When the posting came and she was put in Normal stream, her father called the school to ask how come she was put there and in the meantime, she jumped out of the window... Apparently she was very happy and not at all upset after she brought the results home. She must be really innocent to not think about it.. The creepy thing is that the father said, when the girl was younger, she used to cry a lot and the medium they consulted had told them that she would stop crying at 12. It was a month from her 13th birthday.
It reminded me of my primary school friend whose sister fell when climbing on their window grille and eventually passed away after being in coma for days. After that my friend told us that her mother had their fortunes told long time ago and the fortune-teller told the mum that the sister had a red dot on her head and was a goddess or something reincarnated and would return to heaven at a very young age. I think she was 6 or 5 at that time only.
And then there was my schoolmate who committed suicide after PSLE. It had nothing to do with PSLE I think, cos the results were not out yet. It was said to be because she played bi xian with some other girls. That's why there were 3 holes on her neck. Erm, we were only 12 so information not very accurate ba. My friend lived near the place where she jumped and she said the mother was wailing and crying very late into the night and the body was in a very awkward position. After that somebody said friend's mother's friend's neighbour or something or the other, said she saw somebody helping the girl jump. ... But her classmates said she had been contemplating suicide for a while. She burnt her autograph book weeks before she jumped. The day she jumped, my friend, her classmate was with her. The girl drank detergent to kill herself and my friend drank with her as well. Obviously they didn't die from it and then my friend just went home. The girl then went to a random flat, threw her bag down and jumped. That friend ah... (Wb, she's e one with the crush I told you about on your blog.)
Reading the book, I wondered if she'd thought about who would be thinking of her after her death. If she'd think that it would be me thinking of her 11 years later. She obviously didn't think of her family when she jumped. The family requested that the newspaper not run the story because they didn't want her grandmother, who doted on her, to find out. They lied to her that she went overseas to study. I wonder how they let her know eventually.

Kiddy Day
Happy Children's Day!! And today is the 3rd anniversary of the loss of my beloved nokia 8310. Let us observe a minute of silence.
...
I was considering putting many dots so u'll need to scroll down for a minute. Ha.. But that was my favourite phone loh. The most expensive and gave me the least trouble. And my first phone too. Even the crack on its side made it look good. Ha..
I don't remember what I wanted to blog about.. Anyway hope my students will do well in their PSLE. I have tuition everyday this week, some days twice and Wednesday thrice! Have to take time off work, otherwise can die..
