Going to Korea

aww, leaving in 10 minutes time. Going to be in freezing Korea for 6 days.

Honestly im looking foward more to the plane ride than the actual tour, lol.\ Alwasy loved plane food plus i get to sit there and do absolutely nothing for 6 hours except relax and watch movies.



ah, i love holidays............

the meaning of Christmas

Christmas day is pronouced in chinese as "Shen Dan Jie".

"Shen dan"= lay egg
"jie" = festival


Here's wishing everyone a "Fast Egg Laying festival" = "Shen Dan jie kuai Le"(PS: kuai = fast)

My new movie Blog

http://thexamtaroshowvault.blogspot.com/

to start things off.

A review of the ultra-violent NINJA ASSASSIN.

How violent is it?? Well, think of it this way. I'm a huge fan of the bloody SAW movies and I already cringed in my seat at the violence in Ninja Assassin.

The coutdown begins

here i sit, rushing to get my essays/reports etc done by their deadlines monday and tuesday.

Why the hell am i writing this?
Cos the coutdown has started.

The countdown to the exams.
Been an eventful semester, great times, crappy times. All memories stored, treasured.

ZOMFG.............are we really innately racist? Ya thats one of my topics.
Do living in close proximity with other races here in singapore allow us to be more tolerant or does it allow more racial tension to build?

Two more days, to my one day of slack.
Three more days to full steam ahead study.

oh gosh..................what genius do i have to thank for introducing me to
a) the DVD player
b) my laptop
c) a DVD rip program that allows me to watch my DVD movies on my laptop.

CONTROL!!!!!
ya, control. Right after i'm done watching another round of Dragonball Evolution (which by the way is the funniest crap on the face of the planet. It is like the America's Funniest Home videos version of live action movie adaptations. So stupid that its entertainingly funny.)


oh ya just to pass the time, i found this.

An ancient relic from my poly days(that means its from like more than 3 years back). I thought all of this was destroyed in the great apocalyptic rampage............

Humanity's capacity for good.....yea right

I was reminded this week of something i tried to forget.

I keep trying to believe that humans all have the capacity to do good. We are all children of god hence born good.

For a time, i forgot about Humanity's capacity for bad, for evil. For a time, i unwillingly chose sunflowers and rainbows and forgot about the stinking crap that fertilized the flowers or the acid rain that made the rainbows.

I should never forget.

I should never forget my own integrity even though i see others throw theirs out he window.
They lie, they steal, THEY CHEAT!!!
And i thought being fellow Christians they were beyond such things, above such things. All for the marks, that silly number on the test paper, they sell out their integrity and cheat.

I was greatly disappointed having held such ppl in high regard once, only to be let down. Is it wrong to expect the best out of people? Should i got back to expecting everyone to be a total turd until proven otherwise?
Cos the latter would be so much easier. That way, i wont ever be disappointed in people, wont ever be let down and hurt like i've been.

If people cannot even have that basic integrity, what more? I never expect from friends what i cannot deliver myself so is it wrong to expect something so fundamental in a person's life? Is it wrong to expect integrity?

How much lower can they sink!!!!
How much more until my trust in them and my faith in humanity's goodness is totally shattered...............

weeeee

oh well, through some freak of nature event, i'm going to take 3 subjects next semester.

Gonna need that discipline to not slack off.
Since im going to have more free time, i suppos i'll have to take a part time job.

yeesh............

please oh please, some dvd store have mercy on poor sam and hire him...............or maybe i'll give tuition........

taking a breather

woo, mid terms are over.

Yay and wayy............

Deadlines and projects looming on the horizon.
But who the hell cares, im slacking. AT least until tomorrow.

Lets see............
-CSE presentation,
-Sociology group project,
-sociology individual research proposal
-psychology presentation and report
-REsearch paper 1
- definition essay.

OOH scary.

Time to let in on my secret hobby.

I.....Make.....Videos.
Spoof trailers, video/audio sync stuff for some laughs on youtube.
