Last week was a really rollercoaster ride for me. There are things that I moan about, while there are also things that I cheer about. So today, the video for ACJC Science Research Symposium was finally presented.. and the response thankfully was good. Okay, beside having to make the video, a last minute thing popped up. Ahah. I have to talk more about it on the school stage during the assembly. In front of 1,500s pairs of eyes. Heh. It was quite an interesting moment. Well, let me tell you frankly. I sometimes thought that I have not ever gone up the ACJC stage to receive any prize... and kinda accepted the fact that I will not have to do it haha. Because I seldom join competitions heh. Drama... there are no real competitions. Academic-wise.. ehh... ya. I can't compete with the smart scienc-y, maths whiz kids haha. So yeah that kinda left me with practically zero chance of going up the stage. Hence the acceptance over the fact. So... today provides an interesting event for me. Now I understand when some people spoke of when they realised that a life changing event may occur soon. I got that feeling. Well speaking in front two thousands eyes doesn't really change your life. I was more afraid that mistakes I made on stage would remembered by many. So I guess if my life changed, it'll be for the worse haha. Thankfully I managed to brush aside that thought, and once I was on stage, the nerve kinda calms down. I just hate the build-up nervousness part. Well, mission accomplished :)
Last Saturday, I watched the Fountain. Which is superb and exceed my expectation. Ahh. Even if you're the kind who are really sick of lovey-dovey kind of film, well I guess at least you'll appreciate the visual experience this movie presents. The Fountain is about 3 parallel love stories between two characters played by Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz. In all of the stories, Hugh Jackman is trying to rescue Rachel Weisz from dying. The movie is presented in non-orderly manner, and I guess that helps to make the movie more interesting and less direct. I can't believe with all those visual stunner the movie only cost $40 million to make O_O Anyway, if you're an emotional kind of person, be prepared to feel depressed watching this movie. I cried watching this movie :'( Another fact that amazes me is how on earth Darren Aronofsky could link stories from Book of Genesis (Bible) and the Mayan belief to this story. Both really make good representations of one of the recurring theme in the movie, which is life versus death. Obviously the other theme is love. This movie to me is more of an unconventional love story. Oh ya for your information, Darren Aronofsky is Rachel Weisz's fiancee. I wonder what he thought when filming the bath tub scene haha. Hmm on the last note, let me warn you the ending is kinda weird and strange. But I guess it brings the movie to a full circle :) 7.0 stars out of 10. (Hope Aronofsky's next project won't took so much time to come out..).
After watching movies, my friends and I had dinner. And then some of us (3 to be exact) went bonkers after the dinner. Since the road between Orchard Road to Youth Park is closed, we decided to do some random stuff on the road. First, the move is quite a tame one. Just stretching your arms and smiling. Then it goes to sitting down and posing the zen position haha. I guess we're too inspired by Hugh Jackman's zen position in The Fountain. As we posed several times, we also have to be aware of cars coming out of Meritus Mandarin parking lot haha. Well in the end, 2 of my friends got freaked out and don't dare to do anything silly on the road :( Oh our attempt to recreate the Beatles crossing the road picture failed miserably haha.
Pictures are in order of being taken.. (i'm the photographer for most of them :P)
At first the idea isn't that crazy or dangerous..
Nas and Vithya scream all their might (no they didn't scream =])
Me.. trying to act like a tai tai with lots of bags haha.
Then the screamers become 3...
Trying to be Beatles... but the oncoming car doesn't want us to be Beatles..
