21 S'NAECO~!~!

Just when i tot there was no movies to watch, out from nowhere appears Ocean's 12, National Treasure, Blade trinity, Kung Fu hustle, A World Without Thieves (Tian Xia Wu Zei), Phantom of the Opera, Meet the Fockers.... So many chio bu and yandao are acting in these movies... so many movies i wanna watch... so little funds to go watch haiz....

Here's another sad story...

A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco. "Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend I'd like to bring home with me."

"Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him." "There's something you should know the son continued, "he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mind and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us."

"I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live.""No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us." "Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our lives.

I think you should just come home and forget about this guy.He'll find a way to live on his own." At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building, they were told. The police believed it was suicide. The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son.

They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn't know, their son had only one arm and one leg. The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy to love those who are good-looking or fun to have around, but we don't like people who inconvenience us or make us feel uncomfortable. We would rather stay away from people who aren't as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are.

It has been a fruitful year for him at the awards thus far and good luck to him if my sources are correct... And Christmas is just around the corner and its time to Celebrate and get drunk... Happy holidays...


Here's a sad story...

Jenny was so happy about the house they had found.
For once in her life it was on the right side of town.
She unpacked her things with such great ease.
As she watched her new curtains blow in the breeze.
How wonderful it was to have her own room.

School would be starting; she'd have friends very soon.
There'd be sleep-overs, and parties;
she was so happy It's just the way she wanted her life to be.

On the first day of school, everything went great.
She made new friends and even got a date!
She thought, "I want to be popular and I'm going to be,
Because I just got a date with the star of the team!"

To be known in this school you had to have a clout,
And dating this guy would sure help her out.
There was only one problem stopping her fate.
Her parents had said she was too young to date.

"Well, I just won't tell them the entire truth.
They won't know the difference; what's there to lose?"
Jenny asked to stay with her friends that night.
Her parents frowned but said, "All right."

Excited, she got ready for the big event
But as she rushed around like she had no
sense, She began to feel guilty about all the lies,
But what's a pizza, a party, and a moonlight ride?

Well the pizza was good, and the party was great,
But the moonlight ride would have to wait.
For Jeff was half drunk by this time.

She felt someone remove her from the twisted rubble,
And heard, call an ambulance!
These kids are in trouble!
Voices she heard...a few words at best.

But she knew there were two cars involved in the wreck.
Then wondered to herself if Jeff was all right,
And if the people in the other car was alive.
She awoke in the hospital to faces so sad.

"You've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad."
These voices echoed inside her head,
As they gently told her that Jeff was dead.
They said "Jenny, we've done all we can do.
But it looks as if we'll lose you too."

"But the people in the other car!? "Jenny cried.
"We're sorry, Jenny, they also died."
Jenny prayed, "God, forgive me for what I've done
I only wanted to have just one night of fun."

"Tell those people's family,
I've made their lives dim,
And wish I could return their families to them."

"Tell Mom and Dad I'm sorry I lied,
And that it's my fault so many have died.
Oh, nurse, won't you please tell them that for me?"

The nurse just stood there-she never agreed.
But took Jenny's hand with tears in her eyes.
And a few moments later Jenny died.

A man asked the nurse,
"Why didn't you do your best?"
To bid that girl her one last request?"

She looked at the man with eyes so sad.
"Because the people in the other car
were her mom and dad."

This story is sad and unpleasant but true,
So young people take heed, it could have been you.


Morale of the story:

If u Drink don't Drive
If u Drive don't Dink
Listen to the Traffice Police
Listen to Your Parents
Even though they may be irritating at times

TRIANGLE... RECTANGLE... OCTOGAN!!!!

Told u all the taufik will win liao tio bo.. Y u all don't belive me leh.... C lah final result 62% to 38%... the press put sly hot fav when obviously he is not the hot fav... Just look at how many times he inside bottom 3 can tell that taufik is hotter liao mah.... Y so stubborn still go vote for him sia waste $$$... AND the singapore IDOL is TAUFIK!!!... Ok enuff of idols.... Lets talk about other stuff like relationships...

Toking abt relationships i think that seth in the OC is very poor thing sia stuck between the 2 chio bu anna n summer... Especially when u c the both of them fighting with each other and forcing him to make the decision.... The u can c him struggling to chose coz he doesn't want to hurt any of them but if he doesn't chose he will also hurt them so yeah either way 1 person will get hurt and dats always what happen whenever a triangle appear... So in the end the nerd chose anna and then after sometime realised that he all along like summer wan so once anna discovered that he like summer more she left him and in the end he n summer became a couple...

The ryan also jialat stuck with merrisa and terrisa wahahah although his case not that cham but it is still quite jialat wahahha especially the ending.... as the saying goes Yi Shan Bu Neng Chang Er Hu... Liang Hu Xiang Dou Bi You Yi Shang... Yeah the ending is always sad but people all around the world love to c shows that have such stuffs and the more confusing the better it is and the more ppl will wanna watch n chase... but when such stuff happen to them they will wish that it had nv happened hmm so contradicting issn't it....

So let us assume J and K are brothers.... A and R are Bro n Sis... J & K's mum are A & R 's setpmum...... A & R papa is J & K's steppapa..... U and Z are sisters.... X and W and L are siblings X is the da ge, W is er jie and L is the xiao mei.... U & Z mama is X, W & L's godmum so they are godsiblings... So a typical drama will be like X like Z and Z like K and K like R then R like W then W like A but A like L and L like J and then J like U and U like K....

Confusing? yeah i also feel cuntfused juz by typing the chain hmm so anyone who can visuallise the chain drop me a message n tell me lor.... hahaz... anyway here's the lyrics of a very nice jay song called feng lei...



分裂

Composer: Jay Chou (周杰倫) Lyricist: Jay Chou (周杰倫)

坐著我的摩托車
載你緩緩的離開
考不上的好學校
可以不微笑就走

把手慢慢交給我
放下心中的困惑
雨點從兩旁劃過
割開兩種精神的我

經過老伯的家
籃框變得好高
爬過的那棵樹
又何時變得渺小

這樣也好
開始沒人注意到(你)我
等雨變強之前
我們將會分化軟弱

趁時間沒發覺
讓我帶著你離開
沒有了證明
沒有了空虛
基於兩種立場我會罩著你

趁時間沒發覺
讓我帶著你離開
這不是頑固
這不是逃避
沒人綁著你走才快樂

Split

Riding on my motorcycle
I carry you slowly away
Cannot qualify into a good school
Can just leave without subtle smile
Take your hands and slowly give them to me

Put down the feel of being at a loss in your heart
Raindrops stroke across from two sides
Cuts open the two kinds of my consciousness
I go pass my uncle’s home
The basket frame has become very tall

The tree I climbed before
When did it become so paltry?
This is nice
People are starting to not take notice of (you and) me

Wait before the rain becomes strong
We are going to split up and turn weak
While time hasn’t discovered
Let me leave taking you with me
Without identification
Without void

On the basis that we are in two different positions, I will cover you
While time hasn’t discovered
Let me leave taking you with me
This isn't stubbornness
This isn’t an escape
No one tying you up and taking you away, only then is it happiness

R&B ROCKS!!!!

It's crunch time!!! All the hype!! And the frenzy!!! The Crazy fans who will most prob disaper into thin air soon are all set to get sorethroats and by the time they get home i'm sure they will be unable to speak for days... Ohh and the winner might even sell more english albums in 1 month compared to all the english artist combined in 1 year...

Its the ultimate battle of all battles, Its R&B vs Rock, It's Hip-Hop vs Ah beng (then how will a hip-hop beng chose?), Its Malay vs Chinese (i ain't racist but its a fact), Its Talent vs That Smile, Its HDB Guy vs Landed Property Boy, Its Fans who prefer to vote vs Fans who have louder screams, Its Taufik vs Sylvester....

I don't vote coz i think its a waste of money but i predict Taufik will win coz its like the whole of singapore is supporting him... The Class95 morning express trio of Glenn (btw congrats to him coz he is getting married today), Rod and the Frying Dutchman supports him... Even the poly he studied last time also spend the effort to show the support by hanging banners in the sch... Even the ppl in bedok camp support him and ya even the aunties who can't speak english supports him...

Ok enuff about the Idols we shall know the results tonite and lets hope that the songs are good yea? Ok lets tok about the song by a true singapore idol that is currently playing in the blog... Its called tong lei by stef sun.. ITS NICE TIO BO? actually after listening to the whole album i think this is the nicest song liao and its on repeat on my winamp and i'm only playing like 1 song? whahaha....

The song is written by the same person which gave us the mega hit Yu Jian... Some music critics also suggest that actually Tong Lei is Yu Jian part 2.... If u really bother to go n listen and read the lyrics this song is a very sad song which kinda relates what of some of us go through at times... Happy people listen liao will become normal mode, people with normal mode listen liao will become sad, sad people listen liao will become sadder, sadder person listen liao will go tiao liao? Erm pls dun tiao lao ok? got any problem can come tok to me ok? If anywans wans the song ask me lor i send to u...

And ya i suddenly remembered that Shi Mian Mai Fu also came from the 3 kingdom era wan... It was actually a military strategy by Cao Cao whereby he laid 10 ambushes 5 on the right and 5 on the left in a staggered manner to wipe out his enemy... 1 ambush already can wipe out a lot of ppl liao so imagine 10 ambushes most prob means up the lorry liao... hm....

AH GONG LEARN CHINISH~!~!

That stupid song made me write this post damn stupid song i dun like that song so lame.... Why do people come out with such lame songs, such a song also can make it to the radio...

Recently also got the debate on the changing of module of the chinese in order to make it "easier" to learn.... i feel that by making it "easier" it means that the standard will be lowered and once the standard is lower it would be very difficult to rise back again... I belive it is not the first time that they have lowered the standards and maybe one day it will become like Japan where english is the second language and they start to learn english only when they reach secondary sch? Imagine how it would be like to tok English to a ginna in Japan?

Learning language is all about intrest, Without interest there will be no point in learning coz you won't be able to do it well... Ok i admit i didn't do well for my chinese nether did i do well for my english... dats becoz i didn't have much intresting in learning both of them and i found it difficult and i prefer singlish instead of proper engrish...

I think its better to change the content and method rather then empisizing on the "reducing the difficulty"... I remembered that my sec 3 chinese teacher is a good example of how to make learning chinese interesting.... His teaching methods are totally out of the box and he is always full of ideas and he is the only chinese teacher that manages to keep me interested...

The name of the teacher is Summer Low very wierd tio bo guy who name himself summer... Yes he is weird he can spend the whole 1 hr lesson discussing things that are outside the textbook then he also can spend 1 hr lesson to teach 3 chapters at one shot becoz he finds that the textbook is dead and that textbooks are boring but bo bian coz he nids to teach the stuff in the textbook so when he lags behind the lesson plan liao he teach textbook lor...

He likes chinese history, can draw very well, knows all those tang shi song chi... I think the syllabus of that yr is about chinese dynasties and the famous stories in those dynasties... So i remember the first few lessons he was talking about all those chinese dynasty and the klass test he set is very different from those usual test... he made us remember all the dynasties name all those blah blah xia, shang, zhou, qin, tang, song, yuan, ming, qin... actually got how many dynasties i also forgot liao but confirm less then 20...

Then his test to name every dynasty that china have plus he give us dictation is those tang shi so his test also got fill in the blanks for those tang shi... he nv give comprehension his test is all fill in the blanks and zhao ju... and the top 3 students i remember he got give them ang bao as rewards...

His teaching methods are very different also he can juz draw some pictures on the black board and teach and tok tok tok tok tok then rub away the pictures draw other pictures and tok tok tok tok tok... there was once the lesson was abt the poem dan yuan ren chang jiu then around that time Faye also just released a song wherby the lyris is taken enitrely out of that poem... So he recorded the song and then when he teach he makes us listen to that song over n over n over n over again...

His dictation also power always make us memerise those poems i think i learnt at least 10 poems in that yr alone which is impressive considering i do not read chinese books wan.... During the moon cake festival period he even ask us to cai deng mi... he would draw a picture on the blackboard the ask us to guess a word, a pharse or even a road name...

There was one deng mi that i still remember he drew a person standing on wooden poles aka "cai gao qiao" and he ask us to guess a road name... he even offered a $20 ang bao to those who know the answer... when no one knows he slowly give hint and every hint he give he reduce the money so from 20 become 10 become 5 become 4 then in the end still no ones know to answer... The answer was JALAN KAYU coz wood = kayu, walking on wood = JALAN KAYU...

But the thing we liked him most was that he was often not in klass to give lessons or he will come in late give 15 min lesson then walk out liao or he will give give 1/2 hr lesson the chao liao wahhahaha.... there was even a period where he didn't even teach for 1 whole week... He was in charge of the volleyball team and our sch was then famous for its volleyball so he often went to conduct training for the volleyball team or do his own stuff or he had to attend to his personal matters or he juz got no mood to teach... There was once he ask us to go down to support and cheer the school team when we were having his lessons... Yeah he gave us a lot of free time to sleep in school... and yeah we were also branded as the most talkative and most noisy klass in school coz we can talk non-stop and even managed to make a few teachers walk out of our klass juz becoz we were too noisy but i shall leave the story for another day....

Recently i have actually been reading Romance of the three kingdoms aka San Guo Yan Yi... but of coz i read engrish version wan i'm now at chapter 89 of 120 liao wahahah.. i realise that some of the pharses that some of us use are derieved from that era and the pharse xiong di ru shou zhu nu ren ru yi fu was already in use back then hmmm...

Every idoms or pharse in the chinese language usually have a story behind it and if i'm not wrong the pharse guo wu guan chaung liu jiang was born in the 3 kingdom era... Actually that phase was used to praise Guan Yu aka Guan Gong coz there was this story in the 3 kingdoms era whereby Guan Yu was seperated with his Big Brother aka Liu Bei and had no choice but to join Cao Cao in order to protect his Liu Bei's family coz Cao Cao has already taken over the place where Liu Bei's family resides in...

Once he found out where is Liu Bei's whereabouts he went immediately set off to find him and in the process he went through 5 pass aka gates aka enterence aka customs and killed 6 generals so the pharse was formed... And the 7 step poem aka Qi bu shi is also from that era wan... ben shi tong ken shen..... xiang jian he tai ji...

I also realised that most of my friends who are more profficient with chinese are ususally those who reads comics and those who goes ktv very often... so y not instead of making the syllabus "easier" they should try to make the lesson more interesting by doing away with the textbooks, allowing more flexibility when teaching get students to read comics, listen to radio, sing ktv in klass? whahahahah i think i am mad...

And lastly i hate last minute!!!!!! y does the person who say that we should be more responsible tell didn't tell me that the ORD dinner is today and i muz wait for another person to tell me this morning!!!! And the blardy dinner costs 100 lorlaz some more i already paid liao coz dun pay cannot sign clearance!!!! ARghhGHghghGH!!
