Titles. They are quiteuseful. cos then on your previous messages they get pretty organised. however, if you dont use a title, the thing gets all long and ...ed. not very nice. So why do i still persist in not putting titles? cos i cant sum up everything in a title.
Pirates of the Caribbean. interesting. nice lah. i know its big budget, and i can see why. they didnt really spare any expense. except for the kraken i guess. all CGI. really impressive, but its a letdown. with that budget i half expected them to have a real giant squid. I wont really give a spoiler, but it is just obvious that there will be a sequel. nevermind the fact that they already said theres going to be a pirates 3, the movie ends in a way that you know that there will be a sequel. no brainer. i wont spoil it. ok maybe a bit. one question. didnt barbossa die in the first movie? got shot by sparrow. ya. enough about the movie. now to what happened before and after.
right before the movie, there were 4 peopel arguing over a seat. there was a man and a woman, and there were 2 young girls, not that young, teenagers, sitting. so the man and woman went up to them said blah blah dunno what, and then they started shouting and stuff. and the film started. a few seconds into it. missed a word cos of that. so they settled down, and then went to sit somewhere else. after the movie, they started bickering again. and tehn they were like fighting with hands. you know, like "clawing" the air in front of the other person. this was between one of the girls and the woman. all the time the man was shouting stop fighting all that. so he was like pulling the woman away to the exit. then the woman was still fed up so she ran back and like started quarelling, getting more physical. and then the man said stop fighting agin, ran at 3 of tehm adn then did a flying clothesline. or for those who dont know what that is, basically ran and smashed into all 3 and all of tehm fell to the ground. still not enough. the girl was bleeding from the head. crying and angry. and like telling her fren to call the police. went out outside best denki there. and then continued. for some time. people crowding around. i wasnt kpo. so i didnt stick around for long. but they were there for some time. note that this wass all because of a seat and a case of mistaken seats. why get so angry just cos people sit at your seats or ask for your seats thinking its theirs by mistake? Sometimes i doubt that Singapore is like an "advanced society" or some crap like that. speak good english? they definitely swore in fairly proper english. but dont expect peopel to speak good english if they act like this. this is stupid behaviour. really stupid. i know not all singaporeans are like this, but incidents like these cause me to kind of lose faith in the people.
another weird thing. not weird. stupid. What has been going on around the world lately. first its North Korea. they are really asking for trouble when they fired that missile. but they got the right to. look at it this way. if the US and some other countries can use nuclear stuff, tehn why cant N korea? and then iran also. not that theyre making weapons. or at least they claim. i dont think they are, cos the people are quite poor already. they need the energy and stuff. but yet the US and others are like saying cannot. while in Inda, you see the US HELPING them. double standard. and plus, the US has nuclear power. so why cant Iran? if iran can't why can the US use the nuclear power? next, more recently is the lebanon chaos. why? i dunno if i got my exact figures right, but one or a few isreali soldiers captured by Hezabollah. and this warrants the destruction of public property and also the deaths of many innocents? and traded for te POSSIBLE freedom of so little? this is an outrage. i mean, they are wrong to kidnap. i condemn them for kidnappiong. really. however, i believe that israel is going overboard with their bombings. way overboard. and whats the world doing? the world being US. bush says "hezabollah stop doing this shit". when the US president says shit during something international and important, it means something. it means he's really pissed. i dont care if he says it at home every few seconds or something. but this is major. different for a british royal. spewing profanities by accident. back to the main thing. bush is pissed. at hezabollah. meaning he is supporting israel. i believe, of the 2 wrongs, israel is doing worse. and bush sees differently. of course, israel is his fren. eck, not just his, but every US president. for example, people are throwing STONES at israeli soldiers, they make noise. Israeli army uses helicopter gunboats and shooting with missiles. they dont care. double standard. this are, if i may put so bluntly, stupid. not anyone in particular. the whole world is messed up. the world situation is messed up.
I hope i dont get sued or caught by the ISD or NSA or CIA FBI Mossad or something for this. i just felt that i needed to say this. if you do have differring opinions, youre entitled to have them. but if you would like to discuss can leave a message on the tagboard. if you agree can also leave a message on the tag board. whatever it is you can leave messages on my tagboard....

Yay i dled project 64. for those who dont know, its an emulator for the nintendo 64. and i've been playing SSB(super smash bros.). its coolios. although graphics arent that great, its ok. the gameplay is nice, and it is quite an old system. and by old, well not really old. just old comparitively. a few years from now people will say that the xbox is obsolete and old. technology is amazing.
amazingly the yoyo is back in fashion. kinda. cos its not like cazy, but its ok. i got to know that the new yoyos they sell at 7-11, theyre ok lah. actually quite good. just that its not smooth and eats away at the string. but it has the potential to sleep real long. and by long i mean like over 30 sec. and its made by teh company which was set up by that yoyo guy, yo hans. how cool. it costs 18 bucks for this version. the upgraded version, the 401 compared to this 201, is 99 us. crazy. ya. but its crazy good too. haha.
on to other stuff. tmr is open house. and we got to dk. which is kind of screwed. cos we didnt practice much. usual thing. i frankly do care, but then i'm so fed up i dont care. weird. so we're probably going to screw up tomorrow.
and concert would be fine. somehow recently i feel that the main ensemble is going to screw up somehow. talking about concert, RG guitar nite was great. we were great. i noticed the ensemble was really classical. i mean REAL classical. well they could do better for rock band but it was a good effort. although i think the acoustic medleys owned. and of course yufang lah. hats off to her. and was i really over expressive? its called feeling, and showing off and poser.
