Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

3.5popcorn.
(warning! spoilers ahead! please don't read this entry if you are planning to watch it.)

Went to catch that movie this afternoon @ 1315hours. purposely went to watch at that timing cos i dun like to watch movie with a lot of people especially those irritating school kids. hahah.

Anyway, i thought the movie was brilliant. the effects are great. the cars...OMG, when can i own them?? hahah. but i felt that the show was kinda long. butt aches. hahah.

Movie reviews gave the movie like 1 out of 5 stars. I remembered that Melany Olivero (the movie reviewer for CNA) said that the movie has too much fighting scene which i think is duh! its transformers for goodness sake! i wonder what she expect from the movie? love between Optimus Prime and some female Autobots?? or more love scene between that Sam guy and his girlfriend?? wth she wants man? its the war between Autobots and Decepticons. i think sometime these movie critics are crazy and bias! but i'm like a lil disappointed with how the Decepticon, Fallen, was killed in the movie. It was like........'huh? that's it???' and i don't have enough of the Autobots especially Bumble Bee and Optimus Prime. =(
other than that, i think its worth my 6bucks!

I thought GI Joe is kinda a good movie to catch. hmmm.....

Past vs Present 2009

PvP 2009....Past-Present: 6-2.
erm... i have to admit that I do enjoy myself there even though I wasn't looking forward to it since last week. Past team is still too strong for the Present. hahaha.
My line was like the IVP line: Me and Vian are the forwards, Xinlin as center, and Serena and Amilin the defenders! we scored 2 goals. hahaha. Finally, i managed to play on the left side! oh, how i miss playing on the left. curving in and taking shots. finally, managed to do it after all this while. hahah. and i scored 1. yay!
PS: Lily, can you please don't laugh when you are defending against me. its so distracting. haha. (i know you wouldn't be reading this...hahaha)

Anyway, i found out there is a Soccer Charity Match @ Tampines stadium. Its the veterans team against the Celebrities i think. I found out about it only at 10pm while reading the Sunday Times. urgh! so irritating!! I wanna see the veteran players. they are my idols! Fandi Ahmad, Malek Awab, Abbas Saad, David Lim, Rafi Ali, Nazri Nasir and some other players whom I cannot remember the name. Urgh, i would have gone watching it if i know about it earlier. uurrrgghhh!!!!!
why don't inform or advertise it earlier??????? bodoh sei! hahaah....

a mental testing game

i was warned by Martha yesterday that Pinkies is a tough team. She had bruises after the game. I thought, tough...should be ok but I was wrong.
the game seemed to be like a contact rugby, seeing my teammates being pushed till she hugged and fell together with the boards...not once but i think twice or thrice. clamped our sticks in between their arms, squeezing my players by the boards till she got no space but to fall off the board, stepping and trying to trip me. thats not contact rugby, that's more of a dirty play. i think some players do played a lil dirty.

i felt this game wasn't really about testing our physical strength but more of the mental part. i felt that the team lost slightly in the mental part. we reacted too much to them, reacted too much to the refs called and losing our cool after being pushed. so what if its not a foul? so what if the player pushed you but the ref didn't blow? just get the ass up and continue. why wait for that 'prrrreeeeeeeeeettttttt' sound and lost few precious seconds? yes, i do understand that we do get pissed after continous pushed, slashed, tripped and not blowed for but we just need to maintain our cool and focus on the game. why lose our focus on those unnecessary (maybe not so unnecessary) stuff? maybe ref didn't see the foul (though there are some obvious ones), they don't have 5 eyes...they only have 2 and have to see like 10 crazy people running around. why be like C.Ronaldo when we can be like....errmmm....Messi, Gerrard?? ref do make some bad calls, but what can we do? be like that gal who threw the ball at the ref or be like Drogba and scold vulgarities to the ref? where's the respect and the sportmanship? why not you try to be a ref and see how it goes. see how well you can ref the game. is it difficult to play to the whistle? maybe i'm trained on that such that i do feel that i played to the whistle.

50-50 situation and i won the ball and this blardy player stepped the back of my leg and tried to trip me but..hahaha...she didn't managed to make me fall. i can choose to turn and scold her or i can ignore and continue playing, i chose the latter. why waste my effort on that when i can direct my energy on other things. maybe some people get angry and direct those anger on being more aggresive. but shouting to ref and opponents? errmmm......not cool. some players react differently. for me, i chose to remain calm and cool. maybe we were too pissed that we can't control our emotional. i think that is how fights in game occurs and why Drogba scolded the ref. but in all, it shows that you have no respect to the opponent, ref or even yourself.

i seriously cannot understand those players. if you cannot tackle those situation calmly, then i guess team sports is not meant for you. why not try some sports which don't require any contacts with the opponent or go try golf where ref don't make the call. they were so emo. banging sticks as though she don't like the stick. tsktsk.

now, i slightly understand what Jill meant when she said we were mentally weak during one of our IVP games. i thought, i saw it today. this game can reveal a player's character. how you actually tackle the situation. break or just get stronger. but the part about rising to the occasion, i still cannot get it....hhhhmmmm....

results do matter but what's the point winning it while playing dirty? people have eyes and can see which is the better team. surely they cannot win the 'fair play award'. i think Tempest can win that. hahaha....the opponent have no sportsmanship, why must we follow them?
what's on court should be left on court. i think they knew the way they played ,that's why they said that. scared that we'll bashed them up outside. hahaha.

on the other hand, i do congratulate Tempest for being able to maintain our cool on court. we don't go around tripping, clamping sticks under our arm or hitting the opponents because we were pissed. but the shouting by the benches to the ref (except for coaches), i thought that wasn't cool though it helped a lil bit. almost all teams are like that.erm...maybe to me, cool and calm is the way.

anyway, had couple of chances but couldn't convert it. shot was off target! urgh! i seriously think i cannot shot from that side!! must continue to practice and polish it.

in conclusion, i survived the game in one piece with little or no bruises. hahahah

will we be able to end it the same way as how we started it?

btw, not looking forward to tmr's PvP.

Anyway, Happy Birthday mummy! though i know you will not read this. =)

what a wednesday morning! gg.

my day today started rather early. prepared myself and out of the house by 8am.
Destination heading to was SGS (Serangoon Garden Sec) for the understudy stuff.
Thanks to the directory, I found no bus from AMK MRT to that school. G-Shock watch showed it 5 minutes to 9. I know the school is not far from AMK MRT, decided to cab down.
Reached at the school. Before alighting, Cabby uncle wished me 'All the best'...for what? i have no idea. Anyway, gg to me. The floorball friendly was cancel and I was not informed by Martha (she forgot).... gg. there goes my 8 bucks (minus my MRT fare).
This time round, got the school correct, but the event was cancel. gg again.
Called her and ya, its confirmed cancel. bo bian. head back home. where else to go early in the morning? gg to me again, i have no idea where is the nearest bus stop and which bus to take. never mind, just walked down till i see one. yay, found one and there's only one bus service. waited for about 10-15 minutes before the bus came. i have no clue where the bus is going except that it will end at Serangoon Central. and another gg, the bus actually went 1 freaking round and i was back at the same place just at the opposite stop. wth? i saw 2 freaking buses passed by that stop (the one on the opp side where i took) without knowing that it is the faster way. *faints*. went for "sight seeing" until i reached the interchange.
today so gg la.

neway, on the way to the MRT station, i saw this ang moh guy wore a toe-fitted shoe. so cute. hahaha...can't stop staring at it.

sidenote:
gg is now part of my vocab thanks to Jackie and Vinny. hahah....

nervous=talk too fast n no eye contact

friendly with ITE Tamp gals this morning. Woohoo...great!
14 of us...some IVP players + some Stormies + 1 Skools player...hahah..

I realised when I'm nervous, I talked very fast and I don't make eye contact. Gave them the line during the 2nd period, and I talked like freaking fast...not sure if they manage to catch it. heehee...and when explaining some stuff, i didn't make eye contact.
must improve on that 2 things first.
more compose...talk slowly and eye contact! no matter how nervous i am.

1 more goals and i'll score a hat-trick. 1 goal was disallowed cos i was blow for high stick..??? I think I kinda like playing forward...hahah...

overall, everyone played well today =)

then, went for lunch at Ramen 10. Ok la, ate the tom yam something...not bad. but the meal is ex! it cost me 15bucks for a meal (plus gst and service charge)....15bucks?? I could have spent 5 bucks for a meal at the food junction there. once in a while will be fine...but not always. i'm a coffeeshop type person. hahaha....

titans v tempest

5-1 to them. another lost. crap!
not going to talk about the game..

I felt today i played better as compared to when i played friendly for the stormies. heehee.
I can feel that today my runs were fast. wee......... blocked some shots which might led to a goal. phew! and i almost scored an own goal just now. deflected the shot right in front of the goalpost. phew!!! conceded one goal. wrap around. urgh!! freaking irritating. was following her all the way but she managed to find that few inches space....urgh!!!!!!!!! after that wrap, me and lily looked at each other and we were like.."huh? wth???" hahahaha
i love playing as defender but sometime i will want to play as center. so i can run up-down-left-right. i felt my running space are restricted to the right side and slightly in the center. plus of course, up and down the court.

I miss...
1. playing on the left side
2. running down the left side of the board, turn in and do my all time fav. curve in runs and then took my drag shot. i super miss it. can't do that while playing on the right. i really really miss doing this.....

btw, can we not have that nerdy guy ref again? he's freaking irritating! hahaha

malay horror movie n nasi lemak

i've watched a couple of those malay horror movies and they all sucks! really really suck. Not scary at all and no plot. They doesn't make any sense at all. in conclusion, they suck. Super not worth watching them in the movie. I don't watch them in the movie. My bro bought the cd, so ya...wasted my 1 hour plus watching it.

The scary element are just plain stupid. They relied too much, way too much on the stupid sound effects. The sound effects are the same through out their lame show. Quiet scene which suddenly surprised people by their loud stupid sound effect and hoping people will be scared by it. LAME. L-A-M-E. just freaking lame!!! Their story line which is like a primary school kids story. just pure lame. I seriously cannot take it. Urgh! Its so irritating.

I wonder why they (directors, producers...bla bla) still like those kind of shows.

No matter how lame the show is, it still manage to get a good response on their opening. I guess those movie goers are cheated by those lame show. They thought they will catch a great horror movie and just to find out they were cheated. Don't need to wait till the show end to realised that they have wasted their money. For those who said those movies are good, they are equally lame. hahaah...I'm not against malay horror movie, its just that they are way way below my expectation. Not that I have high expectation on it...but its just lame. urgh!

Another thing....nasi lemak.
I am never a fan of nasi lemak. I can live without it. duh! I don't understand why people queued so long for a plate of nasi lemak where they all taste the same like any other stall. Maybe just the chili but other than that, they have the same taste! Went for supper with some of the Tempest and Storm player at Boon Lay market...Nasi Lemak power stall. I didn't see what so power about it besides the long queue. Maybe because i'm not a fan of nasi lemak. but seriously, they all seem to have the same taste. Just a matter which stall has the loger queue. hahaha...
I tell myself that yesterday will be the last time that I will eat a plate of nasi lemak by myself. I feel like puking after eating a plate of it. Its the 2nd time. NO MORE NASI LEMAK FOR ME!!!
