Sharpion's Dream

I HATE Jellyfish! Ok, Sarah and I just came back from a trip to Cebu Phillippines which we went to do some diving. Since the diving wasn't as great as the place we went before (the Maldives - duh), we decided to take our Advance Diving cert too. Everything was going well till at the very last dive, i got viciously attacked by a jellyfish! It felt like this wet piece of paper sticking to your face suddenly from nowhere and then suddenly there was this giant burst of pain and i almost buckled from the force. I still continued with the dive (as i really didn't want to screw up my adv test) and beared with the pain. Luckily it soon subsided. The next day, my face was covered with welts and rash (too gross to show here though i have a pic). Luckily it was the same day we were going back home. So basically went home and immediately went to the doctors to get some medicine, he prescribed the following which works really well, chlorphenimine (anti-histamine) for itch, Dexamthasone for ...

Fearless Review My first encounter with this show was Jay Chou's MTV of it, which was fantastic. So i was having really high expectations of the show. Well on the whole it wasn't bad and its the kind of show that makes you think about it even after the next day. The fighting was really really good though i think the story could have been depicted x100 times better. Honestly i don't think Jet Li is such a good actor and his character in the show wasn't well potrayed by him. Perhaps its the timing and pacing of the show i don't like, some parts (esp the middle) is very draggy esp when juxtaposed with the high paced action sequences. The show is actually a sad show rather than a kungfu movie, i tink u'd appreciate it more if you see it that way. Themes involve chinese pride, honour among warriors and self respect. I esp like the idea of how to truly be a winner. On the whole i'll give the show a B+ (plus comes from Jay's MTV influence). Watch it but don...

Focus Being a very type A kind of person, i feel that at many times of my life im moving too quickly, taking on too many things and just in general not appreciating a lot of stuff. I always feel that there is not enough time to do all the really cool things i want to do so i quickly try to rush through my life doing everything i can possibly do, squeezing time for every drop it has. But from now, im going to try to take things slower and not take up any more new things. Rather, i would like to focus my attention and effort on all the things i already have. Coz its not about the quantity of things you achieve or all the stuff you rack up, its more of appreciating what you do and enjoying it freely. Gotta try to spend more time doing less things, sounds anti efficient? Well, life is about efficiency ya?

WHAT Prawn fishing, prawn sizes range from really small to huge ones! People have even reported catching crayfish. There is even pomfret catching, crab catching and of course fish catching. WHERE Pasir Ris Park Fishing Pond (near Pasir Ris MRT) Open 24hrs (Do it at night (after 10pm). Prawns are noctournal so there.) Cost: $13/hr, 3hrs get 1hr free, can share 4 hrs with 2 rods EQUIPMENT They give you a choice for long or short rods, for me i prefer long rods coz it can access far places in the pool. For beginners take short rods coz they are easier to control. Chances are if you use a long rod you'll panic when you get ur first catch and fling the prawn (claws all snapping) to unwary bystanders (Sarah kena this a few times already, i mean kena flung AT) Bring a nice sharp knife to cut the cockles in thin slices, quality of knife is IMPORTANT coz baiting is VERY crucial so you need to cut the bait exactly the way you want it. Bring a cloth to wipe your hands too and some water to wa...

Memoirs of a Geisha i've never read the book and i heard that people who have read the book think the movie is pretty bad which is usually the case anyway. I used to be a fan of ZZY and i can tell you this is not her best acting THOUGH she speaks the most english in this show! not just "the soup is too salty!" kind but really actually speaks WHOLE sentences, so im pretty impressed. I think the child actress playing ZZY is good and perhaps even better than zzy herself. Gong Li is pretty ok in this show as well though i think its in her nature to be bitchy so it probably takes less acting skill. *SPOLILER ALERT*Character development wise is very lacking. I was actually very intrigued by the idea of the 'space of a geisha'. they say the geishas have their own space, between the wife and the prostitute, not a mistress but in a space entirely of their own. however they didn't develop this idea much and focused on some lovey dovey themes. the story revolves much ar...

Initial D - The Movie ok first of all im a bit biased to this show coz im a JAY fan! however im even a bigger anime fan so i would say straight off that that movie kinda sux (if you watched the anime). ive watched the anime (all 4 seasons) so i can't really give an objective review. I heard from friends who have not watched it that they liked the movie a lot so i guess its good if u din watch the anime la. Character development is pretty good for that short span of time, jay is not really exp in acting but i tink he managed to pull off the Takumi character pretty well (in his own way of coz). The love story in the show was WAY underdeveloped and the female lead (some hot jap girl - not hot in my own opinion) wasn't developed properly too. In fact i feel ALL the characters weren't developed. This is my anime thing speaking. So basically the show is abt fast cars and cool guys doing dangerous stuff and taking everything too seriously. Something worse than the classic 'Yo...

Happy Days sunny days and sunny skies deceitful hearts and happy lies lurking in shadows, i heard it so much freedom & love? its just about luck! choices and plans, thinking ahead just leave me alone to cry in bed! family and friends, i love and fear i crave their pain it keeps me clear... what am i going to do seems my soul is seeping through force a smile to love my pain all i really want is rain.

The English Language Someone forwarded this to me: 1. If Fed-Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP? 2. Do Lipton Tea employees take coffee breaks? 3. If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes? 4. Why is the man who invests all your money called a Broker? 5. If horrific means to make horrible, does terrific mean to make terrible? 6. Why is it called building when it is already built? 7. If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat? Humans?
