I've been going for this Laser sessions on my face for quite a while now. After wasting like $1k on Maple Clinic, I've decided to just go for it. It's for my acne scars, and boy, do they suck! And the lasers are not cheap, they suck me dry in the bank account; a whopping $300/session! But oh well, I want a pretty face, and besides, each session entitles me to a week of MC! And yeah, I've been a couch potato for the past 3 days rotting at home because I did my laser on Monday.
So what did I do for this 1 week? I've decided to chiong finish all the TV serial dramas that I've missed out while serving dear army. I finished Flash Forward up till episode 10, and GLEE! - My favourite TV drama for this year. The plot is just so random and it just makes you burst out laughing in the middle of the show. Even if you're a stone-faced, laugh-and-I-will-die, and you get the "WHY SO SERIOUS?" question everytime, you will still bob your head to the jingles they deliver in the show. My favourite thus far? It's My Life/Confessions Part II mash up! It's totally awesome! Take a listen..
AWESOME ain't it? Anyways, the other TV drama that I was catching up was Lost. After totally losing track of it halfway through season 2, and finding out that the season FINALE will be on May 23 2010, I just gotta watch it. I'm one of those guys that totally HATES spoilers. You know when J.K released Harry Potty last book, I woke up like 8am in the morning and waited outside CompassPoint's Popular just so I get to read it First-Hand, Spoiler-FREE! I HATE people spoiling endings for me, it's just a sucky feeling. I would go bonkers and kill the f***** who spoils anything for me.
So yeah, I'm rushing through Season 1 to 5 and hopefully, I can finish watching them by the end of May so that no one spoils the ending of the greatest TV drama of all time. Now let me get LOST.
There. Evil thoughts.

Vroom VROOM!
Oh wow! The weekend whizzed past just like that! You know how the lyrics of "I Gotta Feeling" go "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Saturday and Sunday.."
(psst.. CH, you got a typo stupid!)
NO, YOU MOUNTAIN TORTOISE! THAT'S HOW THE LYRICS WENT! 2 Saturdays in a week! How awesome would that be huh? Anyways, I got a dental consultation tomorrow for a chipped tooth inside my mouth, which was like a month ago. I'm getting the jitters, because I HATE DENTISTS. Especially the drilling gadget they have inside their claustrophobic room. If you're wondering which one I'm talking about, it looks like this..
SHYYT this brings out the pee in me. I wiki-ed it and it's called a Dental Drill and this mean little thing is what makes people like me fear dental. ARRGGH. Hopefully all this dental thing will be over and done with presto!
Heard thunder moments ago. PLEASE DON'T RAIN! It's a dread to force yourself to wake up on a cool, chilly MONDAY morning!
Oh well, sleep time. Army life for 5 days again.
There. Evil thoughts.

BACK FROM HIATUS!
WHOOO! After a 3 years hiatus, I've decided to start blogging again. Why?
Because today I've got alot of things on my mind and I just want to write it down...
Yeah. That's the reason.
The thing that bogged down my mind so much, not surprisingly, is the topic about money. You know, there are some people who say "OH, money ain't the most important thing man!" And today, I'll show these naysayers how money, is the single thing in life that changes everything.
Ok, give me 2 random guys!
Bling Bling & Ling Ling aka. $00 (GET IT?)
V.S
OK! Now, Bling Bling was born into a rich family. Naturally, at a young age, his parents would send him to all kinds of classes : Piano classes, cooking class, dancing class etc. He gets the BEST tuition classes and thus, he was confident that he would score well for his exams. So confident that he DID NOT study for them, but because of all the BEST tuition classes, he scored B+, a grade good enough to let him go to a tertiary school of his choice.
Ling Ling, conversely, was born into a poor family. After school, he comes home and help out with housework, then play with the 35987345 years old Transformer toy his great grand father gave to his father, which then his father passed it down to him. He is too poor to buy assessment book or 10 year series, but because he reads his textbook as a hobby, he gets a B+ for his O levels as well.
They both decided to go to a polytechnic, because let's face it, JCs are boring as hell.
Up till this point, the effect of money still does not have a great impact on their lives.. at least until now.
Bling Bling, because of his talents, was discovered by talent scouts and he part-timed as an actor in the local TV while still pursuing his diploma. Because of his immense amount of money, he could afford the best skincare products, best gym memberships and eats the best stuff. He is talented AND handsome. And because of his work commitments, he sometimes miss out on project meetings. But because he's famous, cute and loaded, his project mates WILLINGLY allow him to be a freeloader. At the end of his polytechnic life, he has lots of friends and he was invited to give a speech to the school during the graduation ceremony. He threw the most lavish party that day and everyone was impressed with Bling Bling.
Ling Ling went to the same polytechnic as Bling Bling. However, Ling Ling, on the other hand, had to work for his pocket money while pursuing his diploma. He falls asleep during tutorials, skips some of the lecture and miss out on some of the project meetings as well due to his conflicting work schedule. Ling Ling, being the poor guy, had no money to pamper himself with skincare products or go to the gym to work out. His face is full of pimples, he's skinny and his clothes were the same for the 3 years he was in polytechnic. Because of his looks, his project mates mark him down during peer appraisals because he misses out on project meetings. At the end of his polytechnic life, no one wanted to do projects with him, he did not go to the graduation ceremony because he had to work and he had little friends. No one remembered Ling Ling after he graduated, or rather, no one wanted to remember him.
Since Bling Bling and Ling Ling are Singaporean guys, they went to the NS shortly after their graduation..
Bling Bling, being famous and all, was quickly singled out by his sergeants during his BMT. The sergeants "tekkan" him whenever he did wrong, in front of the whole company. Thus, within a week, everyone knew who he was and started making friends with him. On the few rare occasions they have a night's out, Bling Bling would treat his platoon sergeants and mates for dinner. Because he had previously worked out at gyms, he aced his IPPT and SOC. The OC was impressed by the results and granted the whole platoon a few days off. Then, during one of their night's out, he met a girl he liked and soon after, they started dating each other. Bling Bling looked forward to every book out day because that's when he will see his GF. After POP, he was posted to become a commander because he was thought to have the "ability to lead", although in actual fact, he simply has the charisma because he was well-liked by his sergeants and platoon mates.
Ling Ling, on the other hand, was posted to be in the same company, but different platoon as Bling Bling. Ling Ling, with no prior workout, and due to him working everyday, he was weak in terms of physical fitness. His sergeants hated him because they had to stay up late at night to give him extra physical training. And because he is always the last one to go to bed, he often wakes up late in the morning and the whole platoon will get punished because of him. Everyone hated him. Although that is the case, Ling Ling does not like book out days because that will mean he would have to pay for his own meals during the weekends. He was poor, he was hated, and eventually during his POP, he was posted to become a man.
See how all these are leading? I would continue both their life stories, but I would save it for another time when I'm thinking about money again. The ending of the story is clear though - Bling Bling's life will be much better than Ling Ling's, because Bling Bling is filthy rich.

Bu Neng Shuo De Mi Mi
Ahhh! Went to watch Secret by Jay Chou today! The movie is UNEXPECTEDLY VERY NICE lar! The whole cinema was packed and during the last scene, every went like:"OWWWW~~!" because well, it's really nice, just go catch it. Here's the review of 2 of the NICEST movies this month, and you better get that $20 out and catch this 2 movies.
Arian Movie Review #8 - Alone
Movie Title: Alone
Rating/Category: PG/ (If this scares you, it means HORROR)
Plot: Pim, went to live in Korea to bury her past. Then one day, her "psychic" friend told her that something is coming back for something that she took away. Then, her mum was ill and she had to rush back to Thailand. Things started to get strange and had all the memories, flashbacks and hauntings of her past overwhelming her she is almost on the verge on breakdown. Then, she discovered, that her "bonded" sister that died due the the separating surgery is coming back for her... but WHY?
Review: Well, this is the movie director of the VERY SCARY Shutter, which I watched, and full of expectations, I went in for a hair-raising experience and true enough, I was not disappointed. Notice how almost all horror flicks seem to not make sense in their plots? Well, this horror movie not only scares the shit out of you when you don't expect it at all, the story plot is SOLID and has a very nice twist in the end. The "ghost" scares you in new ways, like hanging on the ceiling fan turning around and stuff. And the story gets darker and deeper and the intensity builds up THROUGHOUT the movie. OMG. Better catch this, before seventh month approaches and you would be too scared to sleep at night.
Rating:
(I told you wearing contact lens would make you tear uncontrollably)
Arian Movie Review #9 - Secret
Movie Title: Secret
Rating/Category: PG/ (If this doesn't look like ROMANCE to you, I don't know what will)
Plot: So Jay, as he is also called in the movie, transferred to this current school. There, he met Xiaoyu, who was playing a mysterious piano piece in the piano room. Soon, they become close friends and spent lots of sweet moments together, like riding on the bicycle, "yum-seng" with ice-cream and stuff. Then, suddenly, Xiaoyu disappeared from the face of the earth. Then Jay was left alone, to find out what is the Secret surrounding her.
Review: Being Jay's first movie directed and coming up with the story all by himself, I admit I didn't have too much expectations on this. The story started out as a very light-hearted romance between 2 high school teenagers. Lots and lots of laughs rang the cinema EVERY MINUTE because Jay and Xiaoyu have lots of chemistry between them. Just when you thought, well, there can't be anything special about this movie, Jay throws in a VERY VERY VERY nice twist to the movie, throwing everyone off their seats. Everyone went quiet during the second half of the movie, as if that would help Jay solve the Secret. After much intense buildup and the Secret behind Xiaoyu finally reveals, and finally to the last scene, everyone in the cinema literally went like:"OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW~~~~!" because it was so touching that I almost cried like a gay LOLOLOL. Ok. Bottomline: Watch this, fast, because if your irritating friends spoil the Secret for you, it would not be AS nice. HIGHLY Reccomended. Good job, Jay.
Rating: !!!!
(Find a picture of Jay smiling with his teeth and I will..... be your friend)

Rewind tsuguA
LOLLLL OMG it's already August. That's like a month long of hiatus! I MISS BLOGGING RANDOM CRAP. Being a 3rd year student in Poly is so tedious. I'm finally left with 2 more presentations to go and I'm DONE.... for the first semester. Well, just in case you were wondering:"Projects so hard meh?" Here's one of my group project brochure that I DESIGNED TOTALLY BY MYSELF.
(This is not my hand by the way lol)
Look at this brochure! It's not designed like a typical brochure that is rectangular and folded into 3 sides, but a flip brochure that is so unique and it is printed on GLOSS PAPER and costs a freaking $12! Well, just in case you were wondering, AGAIN, why I had to do this all by myself, tell me, how do you design a brochure with like 5 people using different programs having different design concepts? Thus, I did this up and the teacher was SO IMPRESSED CAN. And this is only ONE out of 43753489758934 projects I have.
Anyways, lots of stuff happened from my month long hiatus. I finished Harry Potter (HP) and I even designed a HP SHIRT for myself. I went over to the T-shirt making store in Tampines Mall today, impressed with my design, only to hear the Ah-Pek yelling at me:"WHAT? FOR ONE PERSON!?! HAHAHA YOU THINK YOU CAN AFFORD.$100 LEH. AND SO COMPLICATED YOUR DESIGN.WANT ME MAKE FOR YOU ONE PERSON.YOU THINK YOU GOD AR?" Ok that's not exactly what he said. He said:"Sorry ar cannot lar too hard to make, must make mould here there everywhere etc etc etc.....", but what he really meant to me was the sentence in caps above. So, being poured cold-water all over, I either a. Find another T-shirt maker, b. Make the T-shirt so simple it looks like a shirt from Kiddy Palace c. Chunk my design to the bin
I'm still wondering which one option should I take. Oh wells.
And OH! Remember the hey!gorgeous contest that I was asking you guys to vote? I got selected for the 1st round which was the interview session. IT was DAMN STRESS LAR. I had to BEATBOX in front of 4 JUDGES in front of the cafe they were holding their interview at. OMG. Luckily and unfortunately, I didn't make it to the second round which is the filming session held at TP last friday. COMPETITION STIFF in TP lar, too many good-looking guys around. Lol, they only picked like 3 out of 10? selected for the interview to the 2nd round so it was like, OK LAR I'm not depressed and stuff lol. Thanks to all my friends who voted for me during the online-voting session! Here's some of the pics I took while they were filming, that day was REALLY HOT lar.
Annd that's about it I will ramble about for today. 2 more presentations to go, and I'm going to be FREE FOR ONE WEEK before I start studying for exams. Bah.
