You know you are suay when..
- you randomly kick the ball around the house and it flew out of the window from 10 storeys.
- and when you go down to search for it, it is already gone.
- you lose 3 times in 3 mahjong sessions
- you lose in almost all your bet slips
- there is a match which you are winning but was called off and thus considered void
- you go get a newspaper and there is one last one left. The fellow in front just took it away in your face.
- you were caught littering when you crossed the causeway and fined Rm30
- you finally found someone to support in Project Superstar and she gets booted out in the very next round.
Bloody hell. I have been jinxed for the last 2 or 3 weeks. Phui.
The inefficient CMPB and the tears of an old soldier
I graduated from Poly in April and after 4 to 5 months, I still haven receive my enlistment letter. I wonder what the hell they are doing. Most of my peers my age have already finished their NS and here I am still waiting. Even majority of my Poly mates have gone in and most are even 2 years younger than me.
I made an enquiry to CMPB a couple of weeks ago about my enlistment date and they told me they couldn't do anything also. The only thing I could do was to wait. They also said mine was a special case. Because they need to gather enough fat-boy-boy to form a platoon then can go in. Singapore so many fat-boy-boy around cannot be not enough to form a platoon mah...faster leh..me also not young le..faster gather all the ah-fats and join me leh...
I think most likely I will be enlisting next year. Which means I will be joining the JCs batch. I hope that not all are nerds. Also in preparation, I am reading the dictionary everyday to brush up my Ang Mo so that I will be able to communiate with them in the future. All the JC boy boy all English educated...I don't think they can understand my fluent Hokkien. If one day I become Government people, I will make sure Hokkien will be the mother tongue language in Singapore.Wahaha....
One thing I have been preparing myself to face is that when I go in as a bloody recruit, my sergeants or whatever supervisors are bound to be 3 or 4 years younger than me. That will be the deepest humilation. Knn...imagine me a 22 yr old MAN kana knock-it-down by a 19 yr old BOY. Kao...how to tahan..those buggers...when I am studying for my Os..they are still studying their PSLE...when I taking my PSLE..they still learning their ABCs...
On a lighter note, I have been sleeping for the past 2 days during my working hours in the office...I feel so guilty..but yet so good...:)
The MAID and the start of EPL
Sorry for lack of update because nothing much happens recently. My life is just going work and going home after work. What a loser.
I went to see the local production movie 'The Maid' on National day. I think its just an 'ok' movie. Or maybe I am a sucker for scary movies. I don't really find it scary at all. The so-called twist in the movie is something I already saw coming.
Anyway what are these directors thinking? It seemed that the only way they knew how to scare people is just suddenly someone flashing past at the background and then increasing the music volume 10 times. Aiya...so common leh...no creativity leh. Or a hand suddenly tapping your shoulder and you turn around only to realise its your father/mother/sister/neighbour.
The scary techniques used in this movie is typically all which I mentioned above. But I must mention that the female lead in the movie is very chio(not Hong Hui Fang you idoit). A Flipino by the name of Rossi something if I not wrong.
But if I were to make a choice between 7 swords and the maid, I think the maid will still make a better choice.
Summary of movie:
A maid was employed by a Teo Chew opera family on the 1st of the chinese 7th month which is the hungry ghost festival. Being new to the culture, she offended some of the spirits when she broke some strict taboos.
She was constantly disturbed by the spirits and then one day, upon looking through the belongings given to her by the family, she realized that before her, there was another maid working at the household. This maid had disappeared mysteriously during the 7th month and.....
Rating: 6/10
Anyway the EPL had finally started. Haha...weekends will never be the same again. I am finally able to lead a normal life during the weekends. Cheers.
Seven Swords
I went to see the show '7 swords' directed by Tsui Hark yesterday and boy, it was a hell of a big mistake. I almost slapped myself silly for watching that over 'Charlie and the chocolate factory'.
This story is about 3 people who went up to 'Tian Shan' or sky mountain(direct translation) to seek the help of a master to save the village who is in danger of being attacked by the imperial court.
The master then gave them a sword to each of the 3 and asked 4 of his disciples to join them to help save the village. Hence the origin of the 7 swords. Kao..like that form 7 swords liao..this is even lamer than my 'Romeo and Juliet'(previous post) lor. If it were me, I would have taken the sword and go yahoo auction sell liao lor. Imagine the price it could bring.
The fighting scenes aren't exactly that impressive. Several of them are quite short in fact. The only credit you can give is the make-up artist. Some of the make-up look really cool.
There was this particular scene where the traitor of the village killed all of his fellow villagers with a sword. I counted at least 20 of them. Full-grown up men with weapons in hand. All killed by the traitor. And guess what? This same traitor was later killed by several kids who used pebbles to throw at him and then finally killed by the village head's daughter who stabbed him. Tell me how cool that is. This traitor would have been shamed in hell. Imagine how his fellow's ghost mates would have laughed at him. "Wah..so hiong ar...1 person kill so many people and then killed by the kids' pebbles and then stabbed by someone who don't even dare to kill a chicken?"
Tsui's last movie was 'legend of Zu' 3 years ago. That was also a flop then. I thought he would have come up with something nicer after 3 years. I guess he will be taking another 3 years of rest. Or maybe retire for good. I would really have condemned this movie totally but Tsui saved himself by choosing Charlie Yeung for his female lead.
Rating: 4/10 (because of Charlie Yeung, without her it would have been only a miserable 3/10)
