The national day celebration had its fair share of ups and downs. ok, maybe more of downs. after all, when the highlight of your performance is a group of aeroplanes flying overhead, you know something's wrong. at times.
but of course, that wasn't the highlight of the day. the highlight, in fact, was the inaugural 09SH28 outing! :D that's right, there's a new class, consisting the guys from 25 and 27. all together we have around 24 people in our class (which is quite standard for a class in NJC, actually), and about 19 of us turned up for the outing, which beats any of the previous 25 or 27 outings hands-down in terms of both absolute numbers and percentages. i can totally imagine life becoming ten times as awesome as it is now if 28 was an actual class, but i guess you just have to make do with what you have. so anyway we went to the cathay to buy inception tickets for the four or five of us who haven't watched it yet (AKA the losers lol) and despicable me tickets for those who have. they were sold out on inception so we split up and the four of them went over to plaza singapura while the rest of us ate/played monopoly deal/taiti at aston's, before watching despicable me.
despicable me is really good! with the voice of the protagonist, Gru, being acted out by steve carell, it doesn't take much to guess that this will be a comedy, and as a comedy it definitely doesn't disappoint, with a very entertaining combination of wisecracks from Gru and slapstick comedy from the minions. and yet under all that, it still manages to be touching near the end. not toy story 3 standards, mind you, but a respectable effort for a movie that is still largely a comedy. if it wasn't for inception, i'd say that this is definitely the summer must-watch.
due to some stuff that happened, panyu now has my maths revision package, meaning that i can't start on maths during this long weekend. pity, and it's during the long weekend too (that i'm sad over this perfectly illustrates that i'm already in my mugger mode).
chin introduced this song to me in the morning. it's a mash-up of Jay-Z's 99 Problems and Linkin Park's Point Of Authority and One Step Closer. really like the matching beat of the rapping with the band in the background; i think rap metal could be my next musical obsession.
