the dark knight, olympics and NDP 08

thankfully, olympics was broadcasted live on Ch 7.
if not this month, i won’t be able to download any more stuffs online.

just watched NDP 08 with ching via STREAMING. >_>
we initially planned to go uni to watch it but i was too lazy to go out.
so i asked her to come over and we’ll stream it.
NDP was still cool though i’d wish there was more of the “traditional” segments.
like NSF standing in rectangles and not “N D P”
and national songs interlude in-between acts/scenes.
anyways, it was kinda fun watching with ching. we both gave our equal comments/complaints. xP

beijing olympics 2008 opening ceremony.
one of the main events that i really anticipated (even more than NDP).
IT WAS AN AWESOME PERFORMANCE!
really love the keypad-looking, taichi masters and contemporary dance items.
main reason, i was waiting to see our Singaporean athletes.
it totally ruined the surprise when a commentator mentioned that it was based on the number of strokes in the first chinese character. (which is why Australia is 3rd last).
i counted the number of stroked for “xin” and i went to bed. LOL
i’ve seen the cut on youtube though, Li Jiawei didn’t do a great job on it but hey, she’s kinda petite to be carrying that. just watch it carefully, stop blaming her!

watching the dark knight was unexpected.
while we were at West End market this morning, Ching asked if i’ve seen the dark knight. if not, will i be interested in it. so i went with her, i mean i don’t mind watching it together~
it was a good movie but not a fantastic movie that you’ll die with regrets if you don’t watch it.
with all due respect to Heath Ledger, who has done a terrific job as a Joker, the entire movie did not really make it up to my expectations. (all thanks to everyone who told me how great it was, i had huge expectations for it.)

cards and thoughts.

i was reading through some cards i got from singapore or even before i left.
i’m sorry, i totally forgot about them and only got to reading them now.

most of the letters and cards are from my sister who wanted me to read them while i was in singapore.
but i totally forgot about it. (i’m sorry… T_T)

reading them, i think you guys know me a lot more than myself.
and reading those made me feel “awake”? i don’t know how to express that feeling.
but please await for jas as she regains her self-confidence till like before!

life is precious.

life is precious.
never throw it away too easily.

insane

my sister’s school is meant for robots.
it is NOT humane at all.

time is never enough.

i’ve been back for 2 weeks.
another one week to go.
another one more weekend in singapore and i’ll be back in brisbane by next saturday.

it didn’t occur to me that i’ll leaving that soon until my mom casually mentioned that i’ve one more weekend back home.
stuffs that i needed to do just rushed through my head.
- buy more stuffs.
- buy more stationeries.
- buy more whatever things.
- spend more time with my family.
- spend less time at home.
- spend more time with my friends.
that’s what i figured that i should be doing.

this trip back was relaxed and definitely what i had in mind.
spending time with my sister, bonding with her.
being my parents’ company for breakfast, weekend marketing, etc
doing housework for the family, cooking for my sister and dad.
everything was just like how i wanted it to be.
and because it was like how i wanted it to be, i found myself less willing to be back in brisbane.

having said that, i’ve another year to go for my degree.
and i’ll decide if i wanna work there or to head home.
talked to a couple of different people, both options are tempting.

to friends that i didn’t get to meet up yet, next week will be hard.
sorry~
