New Moon in a Minute (Parody)

something to laugh at! hahahs xD

Parody of the travesty that is "New Moon."

Literally nothing happens in the entire movie. No, that's not an exaggeration. Here's a complete synopsis below of the actual film:

Edward leaves Bella after NOTHING HAPPENS at a party.
Bella spends a good third of the film wallowing in her misery instead of getting the hell over it.
Bella helps Jacob rebuild old motorcycles while NOTHING HAPPENS.
Bella leads Jacob on but NOTHING HAPPENS.
Edward almost kills himself BUT THEN DOESN'T.
Edward gets in a fight with the Volturi but IS THEN FORGIVEN.
Edward and Jacob make some kind of pact, THEN JACOB LEAVES.
Edward asks for Bella's hand in marriage, THEN THE CREDITS ROLL.

IT'S SO TRUE!!! xD

2009-12-06T11:28:00.005+08:00

I was watching the history channel this morning,
(it shows how bored i am)
it's about the prophecies -- Nostradamus.
they mentioned something that,
according to Isaac Newton, the world will end in 2060.

here are some of the images:
image 1 | image 2

the causes could be due to the climate changes (global warming -- drought, starvation etc), the conflict between countries (war).
idk.
it was mentioned too that the modern scientists used maths to do the predictions too!
O.O
i wonder how.

2009-12-05T20:24:00.005+08:00

ever believed in a fairy tale?

maybe~

2009-12-02T15:34:00.002+08:00

absolute boredom.

2009-11-30T08:11:00.002+08:00

I can see you stalking like a predator,
I've been here before.
Temptation calls like Adam to the apple,
But I will not be caught.
Cause I can read those velvet eyes,
And all I see is lies.

No more poison killing my emotion,
I will not be frozen
Dancing is my remedy remedy oh.
Stop stop preying cause im not not playing,
I'm not frozen.
Dancing is my remedy remedy oh.
Move while youre watching me
Dance with the enemy
I've got a remedy oh uh oh uh oh
Move while youre watching me
Dance with the enemy
Here is my remedy oh uh oh uh oh.

Spin me faster like a kaleidoscope
All I've gots the floor.
Yeah you can try but I've found the antidote,
Music is the cure.
So you can try to paralyse
But I know best this time

And when the music fades away
I know I'll be ok
Contagious rhythms in my brain
Let it play

No more poison killing my emotion,
I will not be frozen
Dancing is my remedy remedy oh.
Stop stop praying cause i'm not not playing,
I'm not frozen
Dancing is my remedy remedy oh
Move while youre watching me
Dance with the enemy
I've got a remedy oh uh oh uh oh
Move while youre watching me
Dance with the enemy
Here is my remedy oh uh oh uh oh

2009-11-27T14:10:00.003+08:00

i would rate the New Moon movie, 2.7/5.
i've read the twilight series, so, i might have underrated the movie..
the first half of the movie is BORING.
i prefer the second half of the movie,
where there's some action scenes.
one thing i've remembered clearly is the ending.
Edward said to Bella, "I'll marry you."
then the credits rolled.
the audience's response was like,
"urghhhh..."
LOLS.

my personal opinion is,
they should change their main lead actor and actress.
reasons?
the lead actor is not very yan dao.
the lead actress can't really portray the emotions as well as what's writtened on the book.

i didn't know people were talking about Taylor Lautner's eight packs till my sis told me about it.
in Twilight, he was like "skinny fat"...not overweight, but very little muscle and a decent amount of flab.
for New Moon, he gets in great shape and adds a decent amount of muscle without going over the top.
for just ONE YEAR, he trained hard and got EIGHT PACKS??!
he's just SEVENTEEN, and have those abs.
O.O
it amazed me.

-- end of review xD

2009-11-27T14:04:00.002+08:00

i'm going to watch new moon movie tonight.
hopefully it's going to be a worthwhile movie.

2009-11-26T22:19:00.003+08:00

smiles.

i was watching you're beautiful last episode live broadcast!
without english subtitles.
i didn't really understand what they were talking.
but thankfully, there's this person, who was viewing the live broadcast too,
was sort of 'subbing' it, instantly on online chat.
thanks to her..most of us (who are viewing the live broadcast too) benefited from it.
today is the last episode of YAB..sad.
..but anyway, it's a happy ending.

2009-11-23T19:31:00.002+08:00

finally we're done with shopping.

can't wait till tomorrow night.

2009-11-22T12:09:00.007+08:00

my blog looks really weird.
i wanna change my blogskin again.
but i don't have the inspiration yet.
lols.

today's random post:

the look: no eyebrows?

is this picture with eyebrows or without?
i don't know. lols

2009-11-21T13:08:00.007+08:00

i'm losing it.

i'm doing things without a second thought. and that's crazy.
i went out shopping for ~~three~~ four consecutive days,
and i basically injured myself everyday.
blisters and cuts.
ouch.
gonna pray hard that i'll be alright by tue.
i'm looking forward for prom night.
i hope it's gonna be fun & memorable! xD

and so, yesterday, we went to catch a movie,
MY GIRLFRIEND'S AN AGENT!
that movie was hilarious.
i can't stop laughing throughout the movie.
i don't wanna write any spolier here,
so..i suggest go watch it and have a good laugh! :D

2009-11-18T19:40:00.007+08:00

searching for that.

my eyes are swollen.
i've been watching so many dramas lately that i don't get enough sleep.
i've gotta stop this bad habit :/

we went to watch Jennifer's Body today.
it's a stupid mistake to watch this movie.
seriously, if you do plan to watch it, my advice is,
DON'T WATCH.
(unless you're a fan of Megan Fox)
the plot was, erm, average.
in summary, the movie is just about jennifer eating guys.
that's a sadistic movie.
i would recommend watching 2012 instead.
it's not sadist.
both the plot and the graphic were great.
but warning: it's a two hour and forty minutes movie.
(better don't drink too much or you'll be running to the toilet quite often)
-- the above sentence didn't apply to me. xD

after the movie,
went to walk around..
guess what i saw?
there's this shop that are selling korean diaries like the ones i'm selling!
yeah, and guess how much they're selling a diary?
S$39.90
i was like O.O (shocked).
the diaries that i'm selling were only about twenty bucks or so!
they're selling it way too ex! (shakes head)
hahah, whatever.

O.O
i think this is my longest post so far...
i don't know why i got the mood to blab today.
i guess it's because,
THERE ARE THREE DRAMAS THAT'S GOING TO BE AIRED TODAY IN KOREA.
1. You're Beautiful ep13
2. IRIS ep11
3. Hero ep1 [I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE LEE JUNKI'S NEW DRAMA]
hahaahhs xD

2009-11-15T17:23:00.005+08:00

I'M SO BORED.
I'd cleared ALL of my textbooks and worksheets from my table and shelves.
Now they're ready to be sent away! =)
it took me half the day to clear the stuffs. 'm kinda exhausted.
but still, i went ahead to spend the rest of my day to watch the latest episodes of you're beautiful and iris, now, i'm left with nothing much to do! (besides waiting for the new episodes to be aired..)
and i can't wait for these two dramas, Hero (starring Lee JunKi) and Liar Game Season 2 (starring Matsuda Shota)!!
oh, it's really nice..many new dramas are airing these few days =)

2009-11-13T10:37:00.002+08:00

Burberry.
Initially, I called it as bur-berry.
I'd just realised that's not the correct way to say it.
it's pronounced as
--> bur-bur-ree.
i'm so embarrassed.

2009-11-05T09:59:00.002+08:00

it'll survive.

"Life is too short to spend your precious time trying to convince a person who wants to live in gloom and doom otherwise. Give lifting that person your best shot, but don't hang around long enough for his or her bad attitude to pull you down. Instead, surround yourself with optimistic people."

I'm just wondering what I should be doing right now.

okay, erm, the above statement was a lie. i know EXACTLY what i SHOULD be doing right now
--> STUDY.
but can someone please humour me? i'm too tired to continue mugging!

2009-10-16T14:00:00.007+08:00

hey friends,
i didn't miss two days of school, to study at home. i was resting.
i wonder if anyone went to school today o.O
please don't tell me i'd missed out quite a lot, for two days..
i'm kinda worried, cuz, it seems to me that all of you are studying really hard now? while, i'm like, resting at home, sleeping? o-m-g.
i'm trying to stay very positive now.
appearently, i can't.

TO THOSE WHO CAN SEE THIS *SCREENED SENTENCE* BELOW:
erm, yeah, you should study late at night and burn midnight-oil, for consecutive days, till you are burnt out on the first day of o's.

yesterday night, went out to catch the FAME movie.
hmm..i'll rate it 6/10?
i personally prefer this to HSM.
HSM is not really my type of movie, but i like their songs.
FAME appeals to me cuz of their really 'cool' dance choreography. they show you the real stress of studying in such a famous performing arts high school. be it if you are talented or not, becoming FAMOUS, needs HARDWORK and LUCK(in my view).
This movie definitely has showed me the reality of the world today.

here are my fav parts of the movie.
my advice is, don't watch the clip below if you do plan to watch this movie in the cinema.

the choreography is really nice.

the ending!!

2009-09-25T20:05:00.005+08:00

Whose Line Is It Anyway? - Stand, Sit Bend
it's where one of them has to sit, one has to stand and the other, bend.

2009-09-04T15:24:00.008+08:00

a random site, came across this..
(im gonna flood this site with this post.)

overcoming procrastination.

Stress.

When you feel stressed, worried, or anxious, it's hard to work productively. In certain situations procrastination works as a coping mechanism to keep your stress levels under control. A wise solution is to reduce the amount of stress in your life when possible, such that you can spend more time working because you want to, not because you have to. One of the simplest ways to reduce stress is to take more time for play.

Overwhelm.

Sometimes you may have more items on your to-do list than you can reasonably complete. This can quickly lead to overwhelm, and ironically you may be more likely to procrastinate when you can least afford it. Think of it as your brain refusing to cooperate with a schedule that you know is unreasonable. In this case the message is that you need to stop, reassess your true priorities, and simplify.

Options for reducing schedule overwhelm include elimination, delegation, and negotiation. First, review your to-dos and cut as much as you can. Cut everything that isn't truly important. This should be a no-brainer, but it's amazing how poorly people actually implement it. People cut things like exercise while leaving plenty of time for TV, even though exercise invigorates them and TV drains them. When you cut items, be honest about removing the most worthless ones first, and retain those that provide real value. Secondly, delegate tasks to others as much as possible. Ask for extra help if necessary. And thirdly, negotiate with others to free up more time for what's really important. If you happen to have a job that overloads you with more work than you feel is reasonable, it's up to you to decide if it's worthwhile to continue in that situation. Personally I wouldn't tolerate a job that pushed me to overwork myself to the point of feeling overwhelmed; that's counterproductive for both the employer and the employee.

Be aware that the peak performers in any field tend to take more vacation time and work shorter hours than the workaholics. Peak performers get more done in less time by keeping themselves fresh, relaxed, and creative. By treating your working time as a scarce resource rather than an uncontrollable monster that can gobble up every other area of your life, you'll be more balanced, focused, and effective.

It's been shown that the optimal work week for most people is 40-45 hours. Working longer hours than this actually has such an adverse effect on productivity and motivation that less real work gets done. This is especially true for creative, information age work.

Laziness.

The solution is straightforward: get off your butt and physically move your body. Exercise helps to raise your energy levels. When your energy is high, tasks will seem to get easier, and you'll be less resistant to taking action. A fit person can handle more activity than an unfit person, even though the difficulty of the tasks remains the same.

The most energizing foods are raw fruits and vegetables. Make your diet abundant in these foods, and you'll likely see a marked improvement in your energy levels. The first week or two, however, you may temporarily feel worse as your body takes the opportunity to detox. Erin and I each lost seven pounds the first week we went vegan. Once the dairy clog finally got cleaned out, our intestines were better able to metabolize everything we ate from then on. We later learned that this is actually quite common. There's a good reason baby cows need four stomachs to digest their mother's milk. Human beings can't metabolize dairy products properly, so the partially digested cow proteins float through the bloodstream and must be eliminated as toxins (i.e. poisons). This requires even more energy, which can leave you feeling more tired than you otherwise would.

Lack of Motivation.

We all experience temporary laziness at times, but if you suffer from chronically low motivation and just can't seem to get anything going, then it's time for you to let go of immature thought patterns, to embrace life as a mature adult, and to discover your true purpose in life. Until you identify an inspiring purpose, you'll never come close to achieving your potential, and your motivation will always remain weak.

Center your work around an inspiring purpose, and you'll greatly reduce your tendency to procrastinate. Finding your purpose is a powerful way to defeat procrastination problems because you won't procrastinate on what you love to do. Chronic procrastination is actually a big warning sign that tells us, "You're going the wrong way. Take a different path!"

Lack of Discipline.

Even when motivation is high, you may still encounter tasks you don't want to do. In these situations self-discipline works like a motivational backup system. When you feel motivated, you don't need much discipline, but it sure comes in handy when you need to get something done but really don't want to do the work. If your self-discipline is weak, however, procrastinating will be too tempting to resist.

Poor Time Management Habits.

Do you ever find yourself falling behind because you overslept, because you were too disorganized, or because certain tasks just fell through the cracks? Bad habits like these often lead to procrastination, often unintentionally.

For tasks you've been putting off for a while, I recommend using the timeboxing method to get started. Here's how it works: First, select a small piece of the task you can work on for just 30 minutes. Then choose a reward you will give yourself immediately afterwards. The reward is guaranteed if you simply put in the time; it doesn't depend on any meaningful accomplishment. Examples include watching your favorite TV show, seeing a movie, enjoying a meal or snack, going out with friends, going for a walk, or doing anything you find pleasurable. Because the amount of time you'll be working on the task is so short, your focus will shift to the impending pleasure of the reward instead of the difficulty of the task. No matter how unpleasant the task, there's virtually nothing you can't endure for just 30 minutes if you have a big enough reward waiting for you.

When you timebox your tasks, you may discover that something very interesting happens. You will probably find that you continue working much longer than 30 minutes. You will often get so involved in a task, even a difficult one, that you actually want to keep working on it. Before you know it, you've put in an hour or even several hours. The certainty of your reward is still there, so you know you can enjoy it whenever you're ready to stop. Once you begin taking action, your focus shifts away from worrying about the difficulty of the task and toward finishing the current piece of the task which now has your full attention.

When you do decide to stop working, claim and enjoy your reward. Then schedule another 30-minute period to work on the task with another reward. This will help you associate more and more pleasure to the task, knowing that you will always be immediately rewarded for your efforts. Working toward distant and uncertain long-term rewards is not nearly as motivating as immediate short-term rewards. By rewarding yourself for simply putting in the time, instead of for any specific achievements, you'll be eager to return to work on your task again and again, and you'll ultimately finish it.

Lack of Skill.

If you lack sufficient skill to complete a task at a reasonable level of quality, you may procrastinate to avoid a failure experience. You then have three viable options to overcome this type of pattern: educate, delegate, or eliminate.

First, you can acquire the skill level you need by training up. Just because you can't do something today doesn't mean you'll never be able to do it. Someday you may even master that skill. If you can't do something, don't whine about it. Educate yourself to gain skill until you become proficient.

A second option is to delegate tasks you lack the skill to do. There are far too many interesting skills for you to master, so you must rely on others for help. You may not realize it, but you're already a master at delegation. Do you grow all your own food? Did you sew your own clothes? Did you build your own house? Chances are that you depend on others for your very survival. If you want a certain result but don't want to acquire the skills to get that result, you can recruit others to help you.

Thirdly, you may conclude that a result isn't needed badly enough to justify the effort of either education or delegation. In that case the smart choice is to eliminate the task. Sometimes procrastination is a sign that a task needn't be done at all.

Perfectionism.

A common form of erroneous thinking that leads to procrastination is perfectionism. Believing that you must do something perfectly is a recipe for stress, and you'll associate that stress with the task and thus condition yourself to avoid it. So you put the task off to the last possible minute until you finally have a way out of this trap. Now there isn't enough time to do the job perfectly, so you're off the hook because you can tell yourself that you could have been perfect if you only had more time. But if you have no specific deadline for a task, perfectionism can cause you to delay indefinitely.

The solution to perfectionism is to give yourself permission to be human. Have you ever used a piece of software that you consider to be perfect in every way? I doubt it. Realize that an imperfect job completed today is always superior to the perfect job delayed indefinitely.

Perfectionism also arises when you think of a project as one gigantic whole. Replace that one big "must be perfect" project in your mind with one small imperfect first step. Your first draft can be very, very rough. You're always free to revise it later. For example, if you want to write a 5000-word article, allow your first draft be only 100 words if it helps you get started.

Some of these cures are challenging to implement, but they're effective. If you really want to tame the procrastination beast, you'll need something stronger than quick-fix motivational rah-rah. This problem isn't going away on its own. You must take the initiative. The upside is that tackling this problem yields tremendous personal growth. You'll become stronger, braver, more disciplined, more driven, and more focused. These benefits will become hugely significant over your lifetime, so recognize that the challenge of overcoming procrastination is truly a blessing in disguise. The whole point is to grow stronger.

it's easy to lose track of time
during the six-hours, mugging period,
in the library.

mugged.
flipped through a few books.
read an old story,
about the chicken and eagle.
very inspirational.
read another book,
staying +ve.
i like the metaphors used in the book.
here's an excerpt.
(motivation is the flame)
we are all born with a flame in us
- motivation - that burns continuously.
some have a roaring fire
and the flames need to be controlled.
others have a flicker that with the application of
positive thinking can be turned
into something more substantial.
but none of us has no flame at all.
the evidence?
getting out of bed, cooking a meal,
going to work, learning to drive
- all require a level of motivation, no matter how small.
we make decisions to do things all the time.
the fire was lit at birth.

don't ask me why i'm reading such books.
..random picks from the bookshelves :D

2009-08-22T19:26:00.001+08:00

FAME IN THEATRE
on 25 SEPTEMBER.

Fame follows a group of actors,
singers, dancers and artists over
four years at the New York City High School
of Performing Arts, a diverse, creative powerhouse
where students from all walks of life are given
a chance to live out their dreams and achieve real
and lasting fame...
the kind that only from talent, dedication and hard work.
In an incredibly competitive atmosphere,
plagued by self-doubt,
each student's passion will be put to the test.
In addition to their artistic goals,
they have to deal with everything
that goes along with high school,
a tumultuous time full of schoolwork,
deep friendships, budding romance
and self-discovery.
As each student strives for his or her moment
in the spotlight,
they'll discover who among them has the innate talent
and necessary discipline to succeed.
With the love and support of their
friends and fellow artists,
they'll find out who amongst them
will achieve fame.

a must watch movie (for me)

a common phrase,
"A picture speaks a thousand words."

here's a short and random story,
written by ME :D
under the theme of

BLACK & WHITE

i'd combined my favourite instruments plus some dance pictures!!
hahahahhs xD
black white pictures grabbed from flickr.
i'd edited some pics.

...

the beginning of a story.
she waits.

listening to the beat,

following the notes,

they dance with emotions.

as she hears the piano calling out for her,

she leaps aside.

the violin cries silently in the background,

for she stands alone, again.

few years back,
the leaden sense of failure overcame her.

but that was the past,
for time has changed her.

now, the spotlight is on her.

as if possessed by the music, she revives once again.

the guitar follows closely behind her movements,

with the clarinet making sure she keeps in step.

as she dances to the rhythm of her heart.

together,
with the musical instruments,
they performed under the frame of
BLACK & WHITE..

2009-07-17T18:12:00.004+08:00

dance me to your beauty with a burning violin.

music in the air.

the expressions.
