Quite a nice day today. Except for the rain part though. Haha.
Anyway, let's start from the morning. When I woke up, it was raining really heavily, so I decided to pig a little more. Little did I know that by doing that, I slept for another hour. When I was finally fully awake, I realised that it was already 9am and I have to reach school by 10. Before I left, I tried using the computer to see if the internet is working. It turned out that it was working alright so I juz logged in to my inbox. Saw 12 new messages there. -_- I was like "wth?", but then realised that mostly is sent by jon neo and they are all the same message. I think his internet got prob too. Haha.
When I reached the bus stop, mr tan smsed me to tell me that due to the rain, I will only have to reach school at 11. Since I was already out of the house, I don't feel like going back again. Thus, when I reached school, I went to the bookshop. I was expecing a lot of people. But it turned out that there were juz a few people. Thus, I grabbed the chance to buy 2 new school uniform shirts. It cost me $34. I am so gonna claim back from my parents. I am nearly broke now.
When it was 11, I still didn't see mr tan. When I called him, he was still in boarding school. LOL. About 10 min later, he arrived and we went to his car. By "we", I mean mr tan and I ONLY. I was expecting more people to be there, but I guess everyone juz wants to slack. Up till now, I still don't know why I am obliged to go. Is it cos I am the squad ic? Or is it cos I am in logistics department? Haha.
It started raining heavily again when he started driving. To be fair, his car was not that bad lah. Though it is a Mazda, it was still quite comfortable. The journey there was still ok. There were some silent moments when I was trying very hard to think of what to say. But I think I sounded weird cos I am starting to lose voice due to my cough. Haha. Anyway, we reached HTA at about 1130 (HTA=Home Team Academy). I need a pass to get in, so I have to exchange my ez-link card for a pass. Wow. It has been so long since I last went HTA. A LOT of memories came back to me. I mean, both of my parades' trainings were held at HTA (PDP'06, SYFOC'06). Somehow, I felt proud when I stepped in...
Anyway, we went to purchase the NPCC uniform parts. The total sum came to $167.60. Haha. We looked like we had juz finished shopping for Christmas presents, carrying so many bags. So, we carried the stuff back to his car with some difficulty. It is not helping that it was still raining.
He offered to give me a lift home, but I told him to drop me at lot 1 instead. And, lot 1 was quite near HTA. I wanted to watch Charlotte's Web, but the timing is not good. So, I watched curse of the golden flower. U guys might think I am weird, watching at lot 1. But, since I was alone, I might as well watch at somewhere near. Besides, it has been a long time since I watched any movie at lot 1. Haha.
So, Curse of the Golden Flower. It was quite a nice movie. The visual effects are really good, especially the part where the two armies fought each other. Also, it was more realistic than any other chinese history movie. However, there are several flaws though. Firstly, as u guys had known, the newspapers said that the movie was too "sexy". I didn't believe it at first. But now, I agree with it. The *cough cough* twin peaks of each woman kept distracting me from the plot. And, I don't think I am the only one affected by it. There was a group of girls sitting behind me. They kept saying things like "Eeww..." whenever the movie became too "sexy". U will see what I mean if u watch the movie. Secondly, the whole set up was filled with bright colours such as gold. My eyes hurt after some time. And lastly, some parts are really disgusting. I shall not say here.
But nevertheless, it is worth the watch. The ending was a little tragic though... I nearly cried. Haha. Anyway, the ending song is called "ju2 hua1 tai2"" sung by none other than Jay Chou himself. XD That was the main reason why I stayed till the credits are finished. The song is really nice.
Wow. Such a long post. Feeling bored already? There is more. Haha. Anyway, today is 26th. Such a significant day of the month. But, I guess the significance is gone now. It doesn't mean anything now...
Thursday is coming soon. It is sec 1 orientation. And I need to help out in NPCC by doing drill and all that stuff. Gotta prepare my uniform again...
Okie. Gtg.
See ya!
