Home Run
I liked the show. Watched it twice just over three days' time. The first time is on National Day after watching NDP at Hock Sui's hall, we went to watch the mid-night show at Sun plaza. It's full of 'puns' and sarcastic remarks about the political issues between Singapore and M'sia. It's a serious thing actually, but I think that it's ironically funny. Critiques of it mentioned that the storyline of the show is jeopardized by the onset of these issues, but I think that it's reflecting the society really well. I don't like to watch a highly dramatic and teary movies since it'll make me very impatient, and I don't like those super crappy types as well. This is just nice for me, it touched me enough to think about the themes behind it..but not trying to cheat me of my tears. Today is the second time I'm watching the show, it's really a super good buy as it's FOC, sponsored by Hock Sui's TIP senior. Hee hee.. It's a movie that I don't mind having a rerun. Although it didn't touch me as much this time, the jokes were still quite fresh. Was in the toilet after the show just now, and heard two girls in the late teens debating about the movie.

"I think the show was about M'sia right?"-Girl A
"No, it's shot in M'sia but it's about Singapore."-Girl B
"Huh? I thought people told me it's about M'sia.."-Girl A
"No? It was mentioned in the beginning that the setting is in Singapore.."-Girl B

I think they totally missed the parts where Jack Neo was OBVIOUSLY making the fun out of the recent tension between Sg and M'sia, and that's the best part of the movie for me, sigh.. Singaporeans.

National Day
Spent first half of the day tuitioning, and was quite put off by the fact that I didn't know my own plans for the day. I seemed to be wanted at all places but none of it appeals to me. My parents were at home which is a rare thing, and Casey msged me early in the morning to ask if I want to watch NDP at her place, and then Danping offered me two tickets to go watch NDP at stadium. Sigh..and the young pple were asking me to go Esplanade watch fireworks. Felt flustered when I didn't know which 'package' to take up, the only good thing was that I have a lot of options. But luckily Hock Sui came back, and finally I decided to go with the original plans instead..hahahha. Yeah, I think it was well spent. Had a quiet time this year but it's a nice change. Read Danping's blog, glad for her that she had a great time at the stadium with her man, lucky girl. =)

Had decided to go back NUS to do a few things today. Meet up with Elissa, then maybe jio Danping out for 'teh' at engine, and also grab a copy of the NUSSU diary, probably I can use the photocopiers at the library as well! =) It's the first day of school, frankly speaking I really missed being a student. I remembered that I'm always looking forward to the first semester after the boring 3 mths long semester break. But of course, now I'm no longer looking forward to go back as I have no need to go back. Danping happened to have a really long lunch break today and we were enjoying the air con at the engine while talking crappy stuff. Feel quite sorry to get a mail from her informing us about her disgust over the 4 hours lab from 5pm-9pm each Wed. Hahahhaa... that's really unfortunate for her. I think she was really dreading the reopening of school this sem. As for Miss Giam, I didn't hear from her over the whole weekend but roughly I'm expecting her to have a busy one so I'm keeping out of her way. I know that she is probably on a neurotic mode again, will hear loads from her when she's in the correct mode again. Got a call from her on my way home just now, and she wanted me to call her back urgently but not tonight as she's really drained out. Sigh..strange strange woman.

So late already, time for me to zzZZ..
