..:: 397. The One With Movie Week ::..

yup. super into movie mood this week. shall indulge in that topic. firstly i won a pair of tickets to watch steven spielberg's classic munich. at first when i watched the trailer, i felt zzz. but i was pleasantly surprised...



It happened in september 1972 Munich Olympics, an extremist Palenstinian group known as Black September invaded the Olympics Village and killed 11 Israeli athletes. The movie is about the aftermath of the incident. The male lead, Eric Bana, was hired to be one of the killers to hunt down the 11 men accused of masterminding the murder at Munich.

What is nice about the movie is the suspense present everytime they planned an attack. Seeing the plan unfold is a thriller itself. Not every operation is a smooth one. In the movie, it showed why terrorism is a tough nut to crack. If you know a bit of history, this movie would be easier to understand. but overall, it's a really gd movie. with some gross scenes...



Next, let's move on to a more light hearted movie, Rumour has it by jennifer aniston. i watched it because of her. haha. she's really sexy though she's kinda small size. She may not be your typical Academy/Oscar/Golden globe actress but i just enjoy watching her. Feels like watching friends... the granny in the show is interesting. you will definitely laugh in the movie.

dun ask me what the story is about. cos the story plot is quite out of this world. i felt paying 8 bucks was worth it. unless you cant stand jennifer aniston, if not, you should watch it... relieve some stress la.

just feel like posting this:



view out of my kitchen.



and this too... my commissioning parade. looks damn cool. tough u may not be able to see me clearly.

oh btw, this was my costume for my chingay performance. i looked weird..



went out for dinner with my national camp. wah been about 1 year plus since i last seen them.



then there was this fireworks display at ngee ann city. launch of a new series of watch, brietling, i think.



haha these two days on course at toa payoh hdb hub. can slack.



naughty watching indecent stuff in class?!?!



anyway, on my wonderful birthday, i was on mission exercise. sad x3. i was afraid my bridge who not land properly.

my platoon had to build a bridge which was targetted to be completed in 16 hrs. my aim was to finish before midnight, breaking the record of the previous platoon. In exchange, the platoon can throw me inside the transit gap which was super filthy.

In the end, we DID it!!! i was so relieved. my platoon broke a few records. i had the fastest site marking and my platoon had the fastest decking timing. we took 14 hrs 20 mins. i was very happy cos we had a lot of hiccups at the start, my men were rather demoralised. but in the end, good weather was on my side too!



rewind back to 19 feb, went kbox with my best buddies... they were so sweet to celebrate my bdae... samuel, melvin, jeremy... we ate jap food and then sing kbox. wah simple afternoon but i was so happy. brought back memories.

Andy Sir first to hit my phone with greetings at 0046. i was fast asleep preparing for the exercise. lol.

bro Edmund the new hunk next door had this at 0801...yo john, happy bdae, hope ur days are filled with colours and wishing you all the best for ur career and future, cheers. so sweet hor? having army as a career, is there a future? lol. haf la of course, i dun dread signing on. i'm loving what i'm doing.

just as i started on my briefing at 0810, my elder sis, joanne beeped me with 'happy 20th bdae, wish u all the best'

haha sorry ar, i love to thank all my well-wishers, definitely give u guys a treat.

my national camp cadets, joey and enna seemed to want me to be happy for the rest of the year on my bdae. thanks!

and samuel for congratulating me on the completion of my exercise.

actually there's a lot to bitch about someone but not this entry la.

my rover broke down in the middle of the expressway. sat in the vehicle while it was being towed away is damn malu...

..:: 396. The One With Wants ::..

I want to take up DJing.
I want to take up hip hop dance classes
I want to learn driving

but where got time???

i realised i enjoy doing things my friends around me seldom do. :)
but just the above activities will cost me a bomb.

to spin records, i need a turntable and some other machines that will cost up to about 2k+, lessons about 800 bucks. hip hop lessons is 12 bucks per session. infinite number of lessons. driving, no nid to say la.

it's good to upgrade myself but i guess i should take it slowly. i shouldnt bite off more than what i can chew. But they are so tempting... arghz

i think i mentioned i have a busy schedule. every mth got an exercise. the super-like-to-multi-task-me got myself so much things to do... let revise my schedule...

start of my birthday = start of my mission

wanted to be the fastest platoon to launch the bridge as my birthday wish but like quite wasted hor. super stress about the mission. firstly, my men are not all fighting fit, a lot down with injuries... already down-strength cos quite a few down grading. next, the past 2 platoon completed the mission in a surprising timing. both PCs got 'worshipped'. i not only have to meet the normal timing which is 4am but obviously i cant lose out to the last platoon which has the same strength as mine, they completed at 12am. 4 hrs earlier than expected.

i can feel the pressure building... time for stress management.

my oc wanted us to clear ippt... i can easily get silver but gold, my chin up must train more. haven done for a long time.

after live firing, have to support in an exercise where all the PCs will be involved in intensive planning, together with the OCs... so we will be assessed by even higher commanders.

then in march, my platoon on standby :) so fun huh. scared they pull stunt activate the whole platoon to do exercise.

at the same time, i am conducting a mine exercise. yeah. so if they activate us, guess u see us rushing back like mad. middle of march, i am conducting another live firing exercise. cool eh.

our coy involved in commander training. so big shots from different divisions will join us :) we are the conducting.

my end-march holidays postponed cos we are supporting to organise for some army level seminar. cheers.

april. me conducting for combat shoot. prep for thailand :)

may. yeah can go overseas.. .yeah right. evaluation overseas exercise.

june. just when u thot the men can ord... my coy will be the experimenting coy for urban warfare :) plus live firing so haven officially arrow who is the conducting.

then i finally can go ntu after i worked my ass off. btw there's only army stuff.

red cross march i got camp. may i got cadet recognition day. in between need to conduct meetings, recce.

still got my sec sch alumni stuff to settle, have to set up committee, got events coming in april and may. guess i got enough energy to coordinate, not to conduct.

this year has been a blast for me. i'm glad i have a lot to learn. wish me a smooth journey.

i'm turning 20 this monday. happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to JC, happy birthday to me :)

i'm still celebrating my bdae for 15 days :)

..:: 395. The One With Happening Sia ::..

wah so long havent update... almost forgot what i wanna say. been really BUSY... see the caps, i really mean it. went for the chingay performance on sun, 12 feb. was fun standing on top of the float and waving to the public like some big shot... first time so many people wanna take pic with me, or with me inside. made a lot of new friends. knew that girl from McDonalds' commercial fantansic burger (something like that), the lead dancer. saw some outrageous costumes... lucky i am just in ethnic costume.

signed up with prudential... wah didnt know there's offer so i got a free ps2. anyway also no time to play...

damn stressed now, two platoons finished building the bridge (which was a mission) so fast that no other companies in the unit could do it. i'm the last platoon to do it. scared... hopefully can create a legend. lol.

went back to my sec school and got to know i became the alumni chairperson. great :) so many things... i still got cadet recognition day to start work on.

i always know i should be in the arts stream... when i realise i like geography more than physics. lol. but geography vs career, i dun see anything exciting.

..:: 392. The One With North Country ::..

well north country is a movie in case you dunno that it's a big hit. 5 reasons why you should catch this movie.

1. The female cast is unbelievable... With 3 women who were Oscar winners in 3 different generations, so as to speak. Charlie Theron, Frances McDormand, Sissy Spacek. You may not have watched any of their shows like myself, but i can assure u, this movie is worth even 9.50. a real classic. talk about girl power.

2. This movie is about Josie (Charlie Theron) who is one of the few female miners who pioneered and won the first sexual harrassment class action suit. i bet the 'sexual' is the next big reason for u to go watch it

3. The movie can make u cry and laugh. of course, it wont make u laugh until u cry, if not it would have been a comedy... you can definitely hear a lot of sniffing noises, a great vdae show if u wan your girl to cry on your shoulder.

4. a movie a girl should bring her guy to... especially if he is a MCP. male chauvinist pig he should 'soften' a bit. the story of josie and glory (Frances McDormand) would definitely melt your heart.

5. what? u really need 5 reasons to watch it? it is based on a true story.

i went to watch the movie without knowing what it is about and i loved it. it's a slow-paced movie but award winning films never disappointed me.

this week will be hell for me... but pay coming so definitely there's motivation.

gym gym gym. i really nid to gym.

early celebration next week. fri night to zouk! siu, if u see this, hopefully u can make it. any1 wanna come? i will be celebrating my bdae for 15 days. lol. sat lunch and dinner. any takers?

feel like making a new pair of specs... can relieve my eyes when i'm not outfield.

oh ya, there are a few great movies coming up. great as in something that interest me... so no guarantee it's worth the money.

rumor has it.final destination 3.munich (looks very chim in the preview).Jarhead a military movie.Date Movie something like scary movie.

finally rented lots of dvd for all the officers in mess to watch. officer mess life's great. caught flightplan. quite good.

got a birthday gift for my OC... shared with the rest of the PCs.

my duty officer day was thursday. luckily everything went well. no screw up.

looking forward to going back to study... haiz. cant wait. july seems like a long wait.

i'm quite surprised they allowed the news of the 'lost-now-found' rifle to be out to the public. maybe because it's found. lol. that lucky dude.

cant wait. yeah right.
