I made more friends in class.Lance from China and Jason from Vietnam.
I was impressed with their characters.
Lance as open-minded character which is unique;sharing his personal opinion on such occassion,himself or me and etc..
Jason as a funny guy
Look like i gotta hang out with them more often.

Hey,it is hard to make unforgetable incident to be forgotten or even wipe out of someone mind.
If they could,such incidents will not make them hesistant any more.
Don't it affect you!

I felt that i had done sloppy doing CA1 Accounting test due to incident i have the previous day.
I have to improve my effort on CA2 Accounting test which is coming on Tuesday.
And there 28th August,29th August,2nd September are the dates i have to do exams and it will be end of Semester 1.
Geez!
I may not be blogging with much excitement until my exam period are over.

My mother always remind me to take care of health.
Yeah,health is important. You need to know the money fact.
Being ill cost more money than spending money to learn education.
Once you are recovered from operation,you can never do the same thing again.
Life will change dramatically unless you adjust your life.
Believe this one and you will not miss your favourite hobby or stuffs as long as you are healthy and don't have any major illnesses.

Silent Hill(Hollywood 2006)
Click here for official website

Adapting from game called Silent Hill...The story is fairly ok
But the ending leave a lot of things to explain.
Did she really die after taking her daughter to Silent Hill?
That is my no 1 question after watching ending.

There is a good reason why you don't have to listen everything from your parent.
They do make some poor decisions.
Taking an example from this Silent Hill movie,this mother wanted to take her adopted daughter to Silent Hill with the hope that her daughter will recover her psychological problem.
Upon reaching there,she found that she had made a mistake.
A lot of terrors were unfolded and she got to know the dark secret.

Indeed...a personal grudge if friends never tried to help by negotiating or solve the problem..It will drag whole world.
Like Hilter hatred against Jews..
Don't forget it.You need to solve such grudge like this for your friend otherwise..who knows it will be the one that will drag the country or maybe the world.

À la folie... pas du tout *He Loves Me He Loves Me Not*(French Movie 2002)

"angelique, a young art student who works as a watriess in a Bordeaux cafe, is in love with a married cardiologist, Loic. She sends flowers, gifts and love letters to his office. She tells her best friend Heloise and her friend David, who is in love with Angelique, that Loic is going to take her to Florence after leaving his wife, Rachel, who is a lawuer. but after finding out that Rachel is pregnant, Angelique becomes insanely jealous and goes to great lenghts to get Loic to leave his wife.

Then the movie is turned back to the beginning, and the view changes: We are now following the view of doctor instead of Angelique's. And things look quite different now..."

I got this dvd from my friend and i was impressed how quality acting skills Audrey Tatou displayed in this movie.
The two different verison of story in two different angle of view are awesome and i am quite stunned to find out the alternative view of it after seeing the first part.

Indeed,one wrong interception result too much fantasy love.
That is what it happen to her in this movie.
Little wonder, multiple events, that happen outside to your eye view, can be your burden.
In example mystery 9/11 crash affect a lot of people in the world.
Likewise regardless on how insignficiant events are, you will be affected and started having such fantasy.

Rating: 8/10

After watching this movie, i can conclude that in myself i only do such stuffs like sacificing many things only if the love thing is confirmed between me and a girl.
How can Angelique not confirmed with Loic face to face before she can do anything for him!


Memento(Hollywood 2000)
I simply hate the dvd menu as if it is testing me as mental patient myself.

"A man, suffering from short-term memory loss, uses notes and tattoos to hunt down his wife's killer"

The director wanted this film to be ran backward.
A man, who can not remember what happened to him or what he was doing during few minutes ago, always write down the most important events.

Rating:7/10

I see myself as the one who remember most things but i do forget.
I realise when i forget.
The day when i forget to return $0.70 to Eugene after i borrow it from him the day before.
One day when i aged,i may forget many things but will only remember the most important things.

Last Saturday, after the lesson, i took 985 that take longest route unlike 67.
This 985 used to be 185. This bus number i used to take to my primary school when i was kid.
This particular small land plot has renovated until it is so nice with more plants today. That is where i treated it as small playground to play with friends.

Two week sago, when i heard radio interview on Cecelia Chung about her love and Nicholas while Nicholas Tse nodded in agreement quietly.
I roughly got the idea what it is about.

Thanks to Nicholas fan who did her best to translate it.

"Nicholas and Cecilia appeared on the radio programme ¡¶°Í°Í±Õ±ß¸ö¹»ÎÒ²éóƳš· for an interview and revealed their reconciliation. Cecelia even cried twice.

Cecilia Chung mentioned that their feelings cannot be suppressed. They met again when filming <<ÎÞ¼«>>. Because they understood each other a lot in the past, and felt they were most suitable so slowly and unknowingly they got back together

Cecilia says that Nicholas strength is that ¡°he is very real, he doesn't have any motives, he doesn't wear a mask. I am the same that's why I am comfortable with him.¡±

Cecilia didn't hide when asked about what Nicholas did to make her touched. She says" no matter when, in the past when we are dating or even when we were separated and now that we are back together, he is the first to protect me. Sometimes he does it in the open, sometimes at the back scene, been a woman, when a man does this, I will feel touched.¡±

Cecilia mentioned that they don't have any special programmes. They like to stay at home together, to watch CD and play computer games. When saying this she cried, implying that it was not easy for the 2 of them to be together.

When asked who was the first to ask for reconciliation, Cecelia mentioned no one is first, ¡°because we both felt the same way, so its natural to be together.¡±

Because they were together in the beginning then they broke off, so many do not think this relationship will last. Knowing this, Cecilia says the pressure is great but at the same time ¡°we went through so much so I hope Nicholas and me will last to the end.¡±

Cecilia clarifies that is not true that her agent is against the reconciliation so she her career has been frozen. She explained, there is no such thing. Her agent rarely cares about her love life and even if they want to care, they also cannot care. At the end of the show, Nicholas¡¯ agent also gave well wishes to this relationship.

The host asked Cecilia what are their nicknames for each other. She calls him '"°¢×Ð" which means boy, he calls her "°¢Å®" which means girl.

When asked if she wants to get married, she says she does but she doesn't insist on it. She says "When two people are suited they will naturally be together, as to when the marriage will happen, I will wait for Nicholas proposal; it will be a special one. Also people are curious whether I want to have a baby before marriage. I feel that when 2 are deeply in love, having a baby is also a good thing."

Cecilia also agreed that she will sacrifice her career for love.

Nicholas has tattoos; however Cecilia will not tattoo her pledge of love for Nicholas on her body. She says" Nicholas is chauvinistic; he doesn't like me to have tattoos or dressed skimpily. I like to be under my man's control. I will listen to him. Nicholas is smart, I am stupid, He has taught me a lot.¡±

During the interview Cecilia mentioned that she and Nicolas are really in love, crying that it not because Nicholas movie is now showing that they are revealing their relationship to create ¡®news¡¯ for the movie.

Cecilia express that Nicholas didn¡¯t give her any promises and there is no need to either. People see us and think that we are arrogant. We are the ones that dump others, we don¡¯t get dump but it is just the opposite. In career we can be strong. The other time after the car accident, I insisted on working but when my relationships turns bad it is different, Nicholas and I are weak, we are worried of getting hurt.
Fortune tellers have mention that their lives clashes with each other, that Cecilia is a jinx to Nicholas, as can be seen by his lawsuits etc. Cecelia doesn¡¯t believe this but she is touched when Nicholas knowing all this still insisted on being with her. She believes that as long as they persevere and not leave each other, then nothing is impossible for them.

When ask whether Nicholas gives her diamonds, Cecilia laugh and said ¡°he is poor, he cannot afford it. And he knows me, he knows that I am not materialistic but he always gives me surprises and has given me a lot of special gifts.¡±

As for Cecilia selling off her beloved dog, she has admitted in the past it that is was because of the safety of her sister and baby but this time during the interview she admits another reason is because of Nicholas¡¯ asthma and is allergic to dogs and to the rumors regarding Nicholas going to the hospital when she was injured, climbing the water pipes to visit her, Cecilia admits he did visit her but not through the water pipes because the hospital didn¡¯t have any pipes
Cecilia also mentioned that they have met each other parent and that her mother likes Nicholas. She also explained this is the last time she will publicly mention about her love matters."

After the radio interview...the next day...






they arrived in the airport and made themselves happily to let reporters to take picture of them.
Woah,that is unusual..I think that they are back together again.
On Stratis Times newspaper i read, one statement make me more surprised.
It is said that Cecelia Chung visit a doctor for a checkup whether she can have baby.
I wonder it is for real.
This Cecilia love likes and dislikes of him.That is how love should be about.

I did a check on Cecilia profile and i was surprised that it said that she went Australia to live with her aunt when she was young.
I tell you..few years ago back in national day, she came in singapore and i was there to listen few HK singers there. when the malay male emcee tried to talk with her, she didn't get what he meant and in the end the chinese female emcee talked with her. How come she couldn't understand english from him.
Too odd man! Not much impression about her since i saw her.

Last year, i couldn't forget how he look like when i first saw him in airport.
he was really ordinary man like me and many other young men in streets.
It is just media making him as if he is special person.





He is one of asian singers i am impressed with.
Work hard to sing the songs he have the feelings for it.

Eason is another one.
When he heard someone who want to hear him to sing a song but he was too ill.
He cancelled all appointmentd and flew to Malaysia(if i am not wrong).
He visited and sang songs with him.
He was touched.
Eason is very versatile singer in asia.
How many singers can do like Eason did?I think not that many of them!
Kudos to Eason Chan!

I attended soccer training trial on 8th(Tuesday) and 10th(Thursday) at 5pm.
I was somewhat little appended on what i need to make friends there.
So many people.90% of them are degree students while the remaining are diploma students.
I was not thinking of making friends but this Vietnamese guy happened to talk.
With his gentle chit chat,i made friend with him and asked him on 10th if he have any msn. He said that he didn't have but had yahoo messenger.

It struck to my mind that 4 out of 5 Vietnamese friends in average use yahoo messenger.
Look like in Vietnam,yahoo messenger is well-spread all over its country unlike MSN.
Some of them are willing to use MSN.

Like korean people,they are not used to Singaporean foods regardless how long they live in Singapore.

That is the Vietnamese culture i learnt. But for those who use Yahoo messenger to able to send message to msn users, it require them to use beta verison.
Too bad, have to wait for final verison.
So far, i know that he study in the same course as me but he is in semester 3.

Before attending the soccer training trial on 10th, i decided to hang with Kar Ho and his classmates.
One of his classmate who come from Myanmar is quite colourful and interesting person.
Another of his classmate who went to Saloon in Orchard for hair cut and dye challenged Kar Ho for the price of hair cut.
I was amused with Kar Ho's reply "Don't ask me how much...."
Alamak, cheap or expensive?No matter how much hair cut is,what matter is that hairdresser give you satisifactory service that you want to have your hairstyle to be like.
Why compare the price of hair cut? @_@

This week, this class i have been with was a bit abnormal and noisy.
You won't believe how it happened.
Yeah,i was angry with this female from China. It is not the first time i tried to tolerate but it seem to be stretched too much
It is important to repect somebody and his work.
I respect your work no matter how bad it is when i am thinking of better one.
You fail this and you get nothing.
That is the life is about.

Beside that, there is truly mad man. His action is good as if you are looking at someone in mental hospital.
Wah lau, he went up and carried the teacher halfway in the lecture room.
I don't think anyone would have done that.
I thought he would have thought carefully before doing such action but he doesn't.
No wonder Korean girl don't like him because i saw her brushed him aside when he was blocking her way and greeting her.
Kinda pity him but his character certainly suck big time.
Not cruel or evil thing but just that he has 'mad man' character.
I will be happy if he has wife in future even so i honestly think that this kind of character can't get any girl.
Maybe mad man can fit in with mad woman?haha

This class is too noisy and i always prefer quiet class.
Like Kar Ho's..When i went in his classroom after the lesson,i was stunned how the class B behaved during the Business Communication class.
So many students were staying back and crowded themselves on the teacher table while others were leaving.
What Class C would do during Business Communication lesson?ALL OF THEM WENT OUTSIDE THE LECTURE ROOM.
This kind of class i wanted to have.Tranquil class life..
Fuck!if u ask me,i don't want class C and i go to Class B and hang with Kar Ho instead.
Believe it.
Why do i want quiet class?I can quietly learn and learn in the class.No need to see mad man actions or noise.
I wanna try my luck to gain permission to get myself transfered to that class.
I am not really that young to be in noisy environment nowadays.

Gangs Of New York(Hollywood Movie 2003)
2 years ago,i was visiting to stranger's home where he had a lot of expensive hi-fi stuffs and equipments.
Over there,i was browsing the various movie clips(short ones of various movies) and one scene from this movie caught my attention
I had not a chance to see it till today.

Before i watch this movie,i has an impression that this movie gotta kick my ass somehow.
The movie enacted in the period where America was having anarchy to reform the government and its country.
America was like singapore in somehow especially that many people from different countries emirgate to America for better hope of living.
What cause America to go into anarchy?
Too many different races and hence they wanted to vote the one who could protect them.
Basically you could say that it was racism causing so much violence.

It was about a blood revenge needed to be settled.
In the end,it was decent movie but not the best movie i would have viusalize.

Rating:7/10

Goodfellas(Hollywood Movie 1990)
At the beginning credit of the movie, it said that it was based on real life story.
A boy aspired to be a mobster and he got his wish as he walked on his way from helper to well known figure in his own home area.

He met his wife through his friend beacuse his friend wanted his wife's friend who wouldn't go out with Italian alone.
At first, he was so quiet and he didn't attend the second time meeting.
She was so upset that she went and confront him.
He was so shocked in some way and tried to console with the fact that he couldn't say anything when she did not talk.At the same time,he was impressed by her and of course her beauty.
And there, he married her.
*it is very ironic way to do*

At young,he nearly went jail but the court had to relase him due to insufficient evidence when he didn't not reveal anything.
But he wasn't lucky when he grew to be adult.
Caught and then jailed for 4 years and released on good behaviour on probation.
His boss warned him to be clean and don't do dealing with Jimmy who take too many things at once.

It proved to be his downfall when he did not heed his boss's warning/advice.
He was caught by narcotic cops due to undoing things made by Jimmy who killed every person who took part in the stealing coupe.
In the end,he knew that Jimmy would kill him and he decided to get his wife and himself to get into protection program which mean he has to be witness to testify them.

*I thought that it gotta be a lot actions but it never meant.Too many narration talks just like Gangs of New York.Anyway,i envy him for having this kind of wife who love him dearly and tried to flush the drugs away into the toilet bowl before cops could search the house. She slipped the gun into her panties. That is where i want to have such wife who can take care of neccessity stuffs but i am not going to be a mobster*

모노폴리 - Mo-no-Pol-li *Monopoly*(Korean Movie 2006)
,Click here for official website

(Left is the frictional John)



"Monopoly - Thriller. Directed by Lee Hang-bae. Kyung-ho (Yang Dong-geun) is an unsociable computer genius whose only companion is action figures that he has collected. Arich guy John (Kim Sung-soo) approaches him in an action figure store and they become friends. John suggests an irresistible offer to join a scheme to withdraw money from every bank account in Korea. Kyung-ho is tempted. However, John's girlfriend (Yoon Ji-min) hints John will take advantage of Kyung-ho and tells him to stay away from John. But Kyung-ho's unconditional belief in John makes him join the plot and puts his life in danger.

When you watch such films as "Sixth Sense" and "The Usual Suspects", you reach a point when you realize you've been totally deceived throughout the film or that your guess has taken you in the wrong direction. Reaching such a moment of realization means you lost the guessing game, but you can still find film fun just like you enjoy a magic trick. New crime thriller Monopoly tries hard to play tricks on audiences _ to offer them such realization in the end.

Directed by Lee Hang-bae and starring Yang Dong-gun and Kim Sung-soo, the film revolves around two friends who team up to commit a crime. In the film, Kyong-ho (played by Yang) is a computer genius, who works at a network security company protecting the nation's banks from computer hackers. He is sophisticated, intelligent, but unsociable, and his hobby is collecting action figures and playing with them.

His humdrum life faces unexpected changes as Korean-American businessman John enters the scene. Kyong-ho is immediately attracted by John as he seems to have many characteristics Kyong-ho has long admired.
Their relationship hints at homosexuality, but John asks Kyong-ho for a dangerous favor _ to he­lp him to hack the bank network server and withdraw a small amount of money from almost every bank account in the nation.

Kyong-ho discovers John intentionally approached him for the plan, but he can't he­lp but get involved as he finds himself already enmeshed in the crime. The film begins with Kyong-ho in an interrogation room confessing to how he met John and became involved in the crime. His recollection gives audiences clues and invites them to play a guessing game as to how things have been bugled and how they will end."

This title kinda reminded of the moment i last played the game.
Kar Ho and I was owned by Yang Long and we ended up spending a lot of paper money to Yang Long.

The opening story was showing the secret police dealing with a man and a woman.
I was taken into the belief that there is another man who control this man and woman.
Leaving no evidence for police, it was so convincing that this another man was too good that he make things hard for police to arrest.
But in the ending, the another man became a friction person that a man create it as a story.
Even whole nation was hooked and tried to arrest the wrong man.

It is quite comparable to hollywood's "The Usual Suspects" but this movie is way better than "The Usual Suspects"
I prefer this John than Keyzer Sozer.

Rating:10/10

Back to the real life,I mentioned Irene.It is a friction character that a guy created to play with me.
After all,there are too many doubtful evidences and i didn't made the move on that girl whom Vishal pointed at.
Too bad,it is not good as the "The Usual Suspect" or "Monopoly"
Likewise,it doesn't really matter tobe angry with.
Trick or not, i didn't lose anything after all.
Imagine that i am that cop listening his story and i will have lost my face because the whole nation has lost over 4 trillion wons by then.

Just now i was walking to Enous MRT station,i saw a young teenger running over a road and then sudenly turn back.
He bent so as to pick something on the road.
From afar i see, it was $5 note in green colour despite of my short-sighted.
He quickly ran to the road divider because the cars were apporaching.
As the cars passed by,the $5 note flew towards.
He couldn't do anything other than waiting until there were no more cars.
*peng*
