I start my day by buying this: hahah. Yes! I will be going to SHE's concert alone!!!! WOO HOO! I think its a break through for me. I never done such expensive matter alone before. Hopefully, I can see them on April the 17th!
Then i was at home waiting for news of something so I turned on the radio. I really regretted listening to 98.7 for more than 2 hours. I really cant stand the music that they played. I guess I'm old if not maybe i'm just way too into mandarin music. hahah... After 2 long hours of "torture" I switch back to 93.3. And i realize my ears are starting to come back to live. lol
Anyway, I went out shortly after that. I went down to bugis to play Street Fighter 4 with my NS mates. One of them is already addicted to it that almost every saturday, he will be there. lol. So this will be the first time that we meet and play. I tried twice and gave up. I got owned through out the 2 matches. hahah. I guess I got to do some training before going down.
Then I rush back home to meet another group of my friends for last minute planned movie. I suggested to watch Hachiko, a dog's story. This movie is really touching in the sense that its a dog and his master so it must be touching. All I can say is more than 50% of the audience are ladies, the 2 beside me were ladies too. LOL. So it makes the whole movie even better.
Anyway, its been a long day for me.... Never had such long day for awhile.......
Its a short poem by the English Poet William Ernest Henley. It was written in 1875 and first published in 1888 in Henley's Book of Verses, where it was the fourth in a series of poems entitled Life and Death (Echoes).
This is the poem by the poet:
Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. (source from Wiki)
Today, I went to watch this movie, Invictus and the poet happen to appear in the movie.
The film tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela joined forces with the captain of South Africa's rugby team to help unite their country. Newly elected President Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid. Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africa's rugby team as they make their historic run to the 1995 Rugby World Cup Championship match. (source from gv - invictus) This is a very nice movie! Worth watching! MUST WATCH! THE STORY IS TRUE!!!
I guess my friend had decided to partner another friend from my poly class for hostel in NTU. The other friend by right should be going with his NS friends but i dont know what happen, he decided to partner with my friend.
Thus i'm left with my NS friend also. But I have 2 NS friends need to share also. Shit, I guess I may ask for an additional bed for the 2 room. haha........
And bring in TV, ps3 (maybe).
Guess there will be another year with my NS friends...
I have complete FF13! I HAVE COMPLETE FINAL FANTASY 13!!!!!!
Its the most difficult FF i have ever played. The boss is a challenge, in the last chapter, not only the boss is challenging, the normal mobs were challenging too!
If you really love FF series, i think this will be the must grab game for u.
The main character name is Lightning. Its a SHE. haha.
At first, I felt that the main character was way too man for a female to be on the FF series. But as the story goes on, I saw the femine side of Lightning and started to fall in love in using her. I love her gun-blade. I know its a copied version from FF8. Because the sword can be modify into a gun in the story. Its damn cool looking.
Anyway, I love the ending though its short. I had a wonderful time playing FF13 because its much better than FF12. The battle system has become a more fun 1. The story line is good. The characters were well balanced. To me everything is balanced!
Howly has FINALLY got his PS3! After so many months of persuading him to buy, he finally found a way to get it.
His group of friends shared money to buy it as a birthday present for him.. WOW! Imagine i have such rich group of friends, I will go bonkers. I will be wondering what should I buy for them for their birthday since i receive such great present!
I'm wondering who should i choose to be as my hostel mate for the up coming ntu stay.
There are 2 choices.
1st choice, go with my poly friend.
2nd choice, go with my ns friend.
Both choices actually has a buddy to go with for a hostel. That means if I were not to pick one of them, they should have someone to accompany.
1st choice, not been together for awhile, dont how much have he changed. Something i realize from this friend is, I have been having a hard time contacting him. He only appears when he needs help. (I guess, or maybe paranoid)
2nd choice, been together seen last year December. That means I understand him more since we are in army, we can do everything and anything...
I have been telling myself to blog about January 2nd but I just keep forgetting.
All i want to say is my friend decided to use his family car and bring us around for dinner at Joo Chiat.
There was this restaurant named Everything With Fries. Remember the name hard, because they are really good in making delicious fries. My first bite was a memorable one for me. That is why i want to promote them.
After that, we went to cheesecake cafe and my friend pronounce it as cheapskate cafe. LOL! The cafe was filled with protraits and statues of Rome, American leaders. I felt the design for the cafe was way to stressful. Imagine so many faces are looking around... or maybe looking at you. That's the worst of all. But we saw 3 beautiful looking ladies in the cafe attached with their bf. SIgh... If not, I think i might approach them.
Anyway, I guess that's all I want to say.
Today, I felt that sometimes is it very important for someone to call you by seniority. I mean if you are trying to learn something from a senior, do you really call him senior or do you just address him by his name. I came to my mind today.
Its really consider nothing to me if it comes to such things. Whether are you going to call me senior or not, to me it is really nothing special. I dont make a living out of it and I can live on without being called that. What do you think? Do you think it is important to address someone senior if he is older than you?
I met my friends today. I went to watch treasure hunter today. And I wonder why people say it suck. I mean I understand what is going on in the movie. I like the way the movie is directed.
Hmm...
Maybe people have different perpective. What do you think? Have you watched the movie?
