Saturday:
had brunch with my mom at west mall's mayim...ate the 'dan dan mian' there...nice...after that i still had about 40 minutes before bible study at mac with winnie and min, so i walked around west mall with my mom...she bought me a new bag, pencil case (that has the same design with the bag, just to force you to buy both...money-faced idiots...) and a new shirt!!! :D thank God!! my old bag was still useable but had a rip near the opening, so might as well get a new bag... anyway after that met winnie and min. winnie gave us our first Christian Lifestyle lesson, since we finished Getting Started last week...after that, went for service..it was great man, although pastor kong wasn't there, pastor tan took over, and he talked about empowerment...oh, and the church had a couple of new songs to sing too, quite nice...jephtha was supposed to meet us, but he didn't came..after the service we met up with him and apparently he sat in the same section as we were, we just didn't see each other..haha...after that wthe three of us took the mrt back to west mall interchange together, and jephtha went home...as i was meeting gabriel later on at the bus stop outside PEPS at 9.30pm, and there was still 40 minutes, so followed min to WM food court and watched her eat dinner (faster than usual...hmm...)...henzy joined us after a while and then they went off, and i met up with gabriel, then went home...the original plan was for us to watch some sitcom on channel 5 at 10, before watching The Ring at 10.30, but since my grandfather was watching the news, we only watched the movie...didn't mind though, since i'd never watched or heard of a sitcom called 'My Name Is Earl', i just love to watch sitcoms :) watching The Ring, i realised that i would be more scared had i watched it alone..with gabriel, the whole movie became more like a comedy than a horror film...that's just how he and i are when we're together...


Sunday:
when the movie ended at 12.45 (or some time around there), we watched the next show, The Sketch Show..haha...it was funny...it's a show with a series of short clips about 30 seconds long, and it's quite funny...example:
Place:Submarine
Sailor looking through the periscope at the enemy ship: Enemy sighted, preparing to fire.
Captain: Fire!
Sailor:Firing in 3...2...1...
(periscope view suddenly gets blocked)
Sailor: Aw, it timed out. Anyone got a quarter?
hahahaha....it might not seem funny here, but when you watch it it's funny...i'm just not good at telling stories...
anyways, we watched tv after that for awhile, before switching to the com...decided to watch Scary Movie 4..also funny, but i won't even attempt to give examples now...just go watch the movie yourself...after that we played some games...freaking GunzOnline took forever to load (1b/s!!! WHAT THE..!!!) so we ended playing other games...then gabriel went to sleep while i continued for awhile, before sleeping at 5+am...
woke up at 9+, had breakfast, then played com again...Gunz still didn't load so he never got the chance to play it here (haha)..after he left i watched gundam seed destiny on youtube and ended the whole day at episode 39 going on 40
Monday:
O Level MT paper today...surprisingly, i could do both papers!!! praise the Lord!!! let's hope my "winning streak" with chinese exams increase to 2 this time, after the mid-years (mock exams don't count, since i never did them seriously).
after both the papers, me, edward, gabriel, kheng yeow, ivan chew, jun hao and melvin went to watch X-Men 3: The Last Stand...it ROCKED!!! the story was good, no matter what others say...the action was also great...but there were 3 faults in the movie, as stated below:

1)ice man vs the flame dude battle lasted too short!!! there was the cliche power beam thingy, with both sides shooting ice and fire from both ends, and the fire was drawing closer to bobby (ice man)...soon, it enveloped him, and bobby then turned his whole body into ice and punched the flame dude, then gave him a ice-headbutt which knocked him out "cold"..haha, i know, it's lame...

2)it seems the only one who can fly gracefully in the movie is Magneto...when storm flew, it was more like she was standing still and just floating around...Jean Grey aka Marvel Girl (yes, that was her alias before Phoenix...little wonder why she would rather go by her real name...) was worse...when she flew it was like she was in 'sediah' position, the whole body standing straight...guess that's what happens when they didn't fly while Bryan Singer was still the director...

3)there's this scene whereby Mr Hank aka The Beast thrusts 4 darts loaded with the mutant cure into Magneto's chest, and they were in the box formation, like, 2 by 2...in the next scene, however, the darts magically transformed into a straight line position..,probably it was for easy removal for Sir Ian Mckellen...

anyway, the movie rocked...fave character still wolverine, since he is the main character...was kinda surprised at the early deaths of Scott aka Cyclops and Professor Xavier though... i mean, i knew they were going to die, but i didn't expect it to be so soon... i thought they would have gone in a full scale war, instead of leaving 6 mutants to fight the whole Brotherhood...well, as i said, the movie rocked... go watch it, or you'll miss out on alot...except if you've issed X-Men 1 and 2, then you have already missed out on alot, so it doesn't matter whether you miss out more or not...wonder if there will be a part 4, judging by the way it ended...
well, i'll stop here...this was the longest post i've made so far, but then again, it's only my fifth one, so, yeah...bye

And through it all, the rise and fall...
