Movies

Today I watched a very boring movie in the library. Since it is boring. There is no point to mention the name.

Home cuisine

I have been thinking about food since the 1st paper. Halfway doing the ESA I was thinking about my favourite dessert.

Today I took a few hours to prepare that dish. The dessert I loved since young.

In the morning I cooked the green bean and grinded them into paste. (Actually it should be red bean paste).

In the afternoon:

Battered the egg for 1 hour. (Still not fine enough, but I was tired to batter more)

Add flour, corn starch, bean paste. Deep fry to light yellow. Take out and sprinkle sugar on it.

End product:

(It should be rounder =P)

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

What it supposed to look like:

I suppose mine tastes the same. Though a bit ugly.

:)

What a wave!

It is raining on the river. Haha.

(We are supposed to get a square wave and a triangular wave)

The World -- \\hack.sign

Come with me in the twilight of a summer night for a while
Tell me of a story never ever told in the past
Take me back to the land
Where my yearnings were born
The key to open the door is in your hand
Now fly me there

Fanatics find their heaven in never ending storming wind
Auguries of destruction be a lullaby for rebirth
Consolations, be there
In my dreamland to come
The key to open the door is in your hand
Now take me there

I believe in fantasies invisible to me
In the land of misery I'm searchin' for the sign
To the door of mystery and dignity
I'm wandering down, and searchin' down the secret sun

Come with me in the twilight of a summer night for awhile
Tell me of a story never ever told in the past
Take me back to the land
Where my yearnings were born
The key to open the door is in your hand
Now take me there
to the land of twilight

Chocolate

Today, after a week of studying, I watched another movie by Johnny Depp. I like ALL his movies. ALL of them. He is such an excellent actor.

I read from somewhere that Johnny had a problematic youth. (I like problematic people).

Unlike Charle and the Chocolate Factory, the movie Chocolate is actually graded M18. Quite touching.

Accidently kelly street (lyric)

here's a door and here's a window
here's the ceiling
here's the floor
the room is lit like a black and white movie
the t.v.'s on, that's what it's for
and if you walk real slowly
you can feel the planet breathe
there's no need to feel so lowly
now that we've all learned to give

accidently kelly street
where friends and strangers
sometimes meet
accidently kelly street
i never thought life could be so sweet

in the garden birds are singing
the sun is shining on the path
the wind is talking to the flowers
the dogs and cats all take a bath
and if you stop that talking
you can hear the traffic sigh
throw away those keys
start walking, watch those
tiny things go by

accidently kelly street
where friends and strangers
sometimes meet
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet

it's sunday everyday
and there's no need to rush around
inside of everybody there's sun
and laughter to be found

it seems that we're on holidays
and sleeping in is not a sin
all the housework's done by teatime
i'm feeling good about
the way i've been
perhaps this optimism
will crash on down
like a house of cards
i know that my decision
to change my life was not that hard

accidently kelly street
where friends and strangers
sometimes meet
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet
accidently kelly street
where friends and strangers
sometimes meet
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet
accidently...
accidently...
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet!

春田花花幼稚园校歌(funny, i think so)

Wake up. If u are still dreaming.

This world doesn't allow any one of us to be naive. When it comes to the time of making an important decision.

If disaster strikes, if money matters, if .... Who will still be at your side?

Cruel, but face it.

Hypocritical, but bear with it.

Gaku wa, kuso desu. That's damn right.

I love dogs. When a dog dislikes you, you can tell straight away coz when u pat its head, the muscles of its face squeeze together, or it will bark at you loudly.

Be aware, man are ferocious carnivore. Sometimes worse than beasts.

The Movie I like

This is the first part. (All together five)

Paradise Now

I watched the movie Paradise Now today.

It is rated M18 but it is not about sex, violence or politics. Maybe a bit of politics. I wonder why it is graded so.

It tells a story of two Palestanian youths who are going to bomb Israel with their bodies. Martyr, some calls them. Terrorist, some calls them. Whatever the name, they are just normal human beings in life. Do they dread death? Yes. But there is a paradise promised for them, angels will fetch them after they die. They are not very sure. But they did not have much choices.

Quite a touching movie.

Google video

Re-posting this embed. Coz I found out that the error wasn't there anymore.

First Time uploading

Personally I like the song very much, as well as the anime. and I prefer Kira, obviously.

The song was originally in Japanese. I think sang by KOTOKO. Chinese version was sang by Muriel (牡蛎), I have never heard of her before.



Youtube was damn slow. Google video had some problems as well. Finally the one was uploaded on youku. Seems that Chinese websites are designed better, upload rate is faster, buffering time is shorter etc etc.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used the other half bottle of "Bang" to clean the bloody bloody toilet. Feel like vomiting out everything in my alimentary canal.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can that be a toilet of human beings?

Yucks!

Today JAE result released. My friends have gotten into their first choice. Glad...

I accidentally checked out the cut-off point of poly courses this year. BME has declined by 2 points. :( :( For me this means a decline in the value of the course. It made me more confused. I should have insisted on going to US.

New year, new hope

New year again...

Cleared the house until feeling like to puke ... wth... look like a slum in the 1960s. I have disposed off 2 pieces of wiping cloth and half a bottle of 'bang' just to clean the oily oily kitchen. No need to mention about other areas. Yucks!!!!!!!!! I admit that sometimes I can be a bit fussy over sanitation, but this time itz not my fault, no one can stand it at all.

This is the first time I felt a bit sense of ownership of the house. Now only me and yf living inside, the rest of them flew back already. I can arrange everything whatever I wish to.

This is the season of celebration, as well as a season to get monophobia. I chose not to go back. So I should bear with the consequence.

O Lvl Result Released

Another nervous day for all those receiving O Level result. I wonder why I am also nervous now. Last year this moment I did not care so much about the result, I myself was not even in Singapore on the day result came out. I cared more about my admission to another school in another country than the result, but I DID felt my hand shaking as I received an international SMS from CY, telling me about my result. A breath-taking moment without much change in rate of respiration.

Now it is their turn, a few friends who are freed from sec school from today onwards.

Is it because this year is 2007, so almost all I knew till now got a D7 for English? :(
Surprises, disappointments ... The cycle has repeated itself.

Good luck to CY, QX, QX's brother, XZhen, Lv zi, Jie, FM, WQ and etc etc. A great welcome if you come to NP:)

HTML language

Just added a player to the blog. Feeling the 'man zu gan' (sense of satisfaction) very much.

My first contact with HTML language, not so scary. The main thing is copied from a forum, I got edit a bit on the auto start thinggy.

Today watched shows, slept and blogged. Such a rotting day.

Sanshou and Karate

(I am new to both, this is just my opinion)

Technically speaking, Sanshou is more powerful. There were contests between Sanshou and all the other martial arts, Sanshou is always the winner. Karate? No. Not even those champions, not even Putin's bodyguards. (If you want to watch one of these contests, I may show you the video). However, Karate is far more popular in the world. Why is it so?

Like a good present without a proper wrapping, Sanshou is illy-commercialized. Taking it as a profession doesn't seems to be promising. The peripheral businesses are not well developed, which means sponsors are limited. In the world today, what can run without money? Virtually nothing.

Sanshou does not have its own culture. Yeah, you may say it is purely Chinese, but where is the culture? The clothing is exactly the same as boxing. Opponents do not have to bow to each other, a touch on the glove will do. Sanshou does not require the students to follow any moral guidelines, rules. Should you bow to your 'sensei' and be obedient to him? Nonsense. They are more frequently called coach. For some amateurs, the culture/history of the sport is an important factor, not only skill levels. Sanshou has lost culturally to TKD and Karate.

No much effort is made to promote this sport. No personnels are promoting it to schools, organizations etc etc. Over the years S. Korea has been sending coaches aboard, making the learning less costly, as a result promoting TKD internationally has been made easier. We have not seen such efforts by Sanshou, or by China. If a tree wants to grow tall, its roots must be deep. TKD is popular in its homeland so that it can be popular in the rest of the world. Sanshou is not even popular in its homeland, how will it go far?

So, summarize all these reasons above and start thinking, what can Sanshou do? Renaming it "Sanshoudao"? Introducing rules, guidelines, uniforms, grading systems etc etc?? Setting up a headquarter in Beijing or wherever and branches out all over the world? Making it a compulsory P.E. subject like what Judo does in Japan? Getting big companies to sponsor the games? (Many question marks). All these sound applicable, but this will not be Sanshou already. "San" means free style, free of restrictions. Shall it be transformed into those highly disciplined martial arts in order to be well promoted? Or shall it insist on its own style and look for other solutions? This must be ambivalent for some Sanshou lovers. Either way, I am still lovin it.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Die....... My biophysics. My question 4 was a total blank, so as half of question 3. Question 1 and 2 was nonsense. I became a story teller again -- creating my own theory. Fainting @@.

Expected mark: 30/100.

My overall dunno... Getting about 50~60 marks all the way. This test accounts 20%. Like this will borderline fail liao. Sob...

Everybody looked like having constipation after the test, except a minority few la. Then met our dear CATS lecturer. Wanted to change the topic during lunch, dun want to tallk about the damn test anymore. So I told Ahxin I was learning KRT.

Actually I wanted to learn Sanshou, but dunno where to learn. End up taking KRT. Initially planned to keep it confidential, aiyo,,, become everybody know liao. Wanna stuff a char siew pau in my mouth. White belt so malu,,, telling others for what? My Sanshou oso fake fake one, only learned for 2 months and haven't trained for one year. Joints all stiff liao. Haizz...

About the difference between Sanshou and KRT i got alot to say. So starting a new topic.

After watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory went to teach. Suddenly feel that the kid i teach look like Charlie. Haha, very cute.

Tomorrow is Another Day

Cleaned the living room and the kitchen in the morning. Not sure if it is my turn this week. But it was really awful this morning, yucks!

Before Chinese New Year I plan to 'renovate' the house. Going to buy some household appliances @ IMM, and also clean the whole house thoroughly.

Met Doggy @ Westmall for lunch. I planned to reach there at 1245 noon so that will have enough time before I go off to give tuition. But I rushed out of my house at 1245. Reached there at 1300 already. So we all rushed to finish lunch. Haha :P

Why am I late? So bad I am always the one to keep others waiting.

Still remembers my sec school days: almost every morning I entered at just the 'right' time. A lot of times I ran down the bus across the football field into the concourse, ran to the place where my class was standing and stood at the last row, as soon as I stood there they 'mari kita' already. I, as a foreigner, need not to sing along. Strangely my schoolmates had never sang the national anthem loudly. So my heavy panting could be clearly heard( so malu). I breathed out in relief every time because I did not have to do detention.

When I recall my sec school years, there were some memories which made me feeling down. But I had no choice at that time, it wasn't my fault. Neither my parents'. Neither doggy's. Neither my teachers, classmates. Neither the not-so-generous Teochew auntie's. No one is to be blamed. So who was wrong? I don't know. Whatever it was, the past is the past. Ignore it and look forward.

'Tomorrow is another day!!' ----by Chicken Little

Chicken Little

Watched 'chicken little' just now in library. I don't know why I have to. So many tests 'queuing up' I can still sleep, eat and relax. Haiz.... Where is the 'mugging' spirit?

I tried very hard to stay awake today. Succeeded in EM3A lesson but not AEL.

Ah Mah was with me watching movie. Forgot to thank her for the peanuts. :P

Wan Sin's laptop got virus from CD's thumb drive. I don't understand much about all those virus, trojan etc etc. The more I comment about it the more unknowledgeable I will appear. Hahaz... But actually she was sending me the game. =='''. So 'suay'. Did I just pass my bad luck to her? Oooops.

I must find time to learn about virus. How can a great hacker does not understand trojans?

Haiz....... seems not easy to be a great hacker (since i always mentions this, just call it GH for convenience). Lack the 'tian fen', do I?

Damn..............
