Sunday, March 13, 2005 + the story so far.... + Caught Team America and Howl's Moving Castle a couple'o'weeks back... Team America was insanely stupid and Howl's Moving Castle was bloody brilliant. Both descriptions happen to be terms of praise... hahahaha... yeah, bring on Spongebob Squarepants and i'll fully rediscover my love for animation this year! However i do concede that in spite of the recent run great jap animation movies, anime trailers are still the worst i have ever laid eyes on. The Howl's Moving Castle trailer is actually painful to watch... All the intricate imagery and the superb storyline is totally lost on that 30 second piece of shit.... bah... u see a moving castle, then the old lady, then a guy blowing a blue papaya in blue flames, then the old lady, then a woman in black moving at high velocity, then the old lady...... "Absolut" crud man.... Hopped down to NUS open house on saturday with Benel from me camp... Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences were giving an intro tour... Benel called down one of his buddies to come along... and HE happened to be Gabriel from CJC class 2T09... was thinking "NUS iz sooo far west, lord i'm 500miles away from hooome".... then i bumped into Kossy (CJC 2T07 n AGBN fan club prez) at the Clementi bus terminal, so relieved, i'm no stranger in a strange land... then bumped into Guo Ann (St Patrick's 4E3 n CJC 2T06) and Oliver (Student Council.. dunno wat class) outside the Lecture theatre 9. hahahha.... So many familiar faces... small world indeed. The welcome lecture was bloody entertaining... the Vice-Dean is coool...i'll say she'd make a good sales person if the uni would ever fire her.... "NUS Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences is ranked 17th in the world, not by some local survey mind you, but by The Times of London. Where does NTU's new arts fac stand i wonder? Oh! 80th! And what is this THING called SMU?? They weren't even ranked!" hahhahaha! i think i can get used to this "we're-the-best-n-loving-it-syndrome" Still can't believe it... i'm finally here... that wonderful mystical illusive dreamplace that our parents kept bugging us to work towards.... i'm here.. after 12 years of sloggin and regurgitating.... as for all u doomsayers, leave the freshman his rose-tinted glasses a little while longer why don'tcha... cheers al!l (raises wine glass) ian wong beats around the bush@ 10:20 PM Comments: Post a Comment
