Saturday
Wootz went out with some 4h peeps yesterday. 4
tpjcians, 1
mjcian,1
vjcian. 6
victorians. Walked around
vivo.
Didnt get to look at wallets like i planned to. At like 2.55
naim went to get some stuff from his friend(some not hot girl). Then
sanjay came at 3. Black man was wearing this bright yellow shirt that said dark star. The shirt fitted him more than just size wise.
Anyway plan of the day was to watch
eragon which thankfully terry bought earlier on. But even he was not early enough cos we had front row seats. We went into the theatre finding people in out seats. Their tickets showed the correct seat number but their hall number was wrong so
lyk what can i say?
haha?
Anyway storyline/review of
eragon.
*warning* longwindedness detected don't read if u haven watch and are going to watch or just skip this part if u want to read a shorter post/
Ok story begins with this chasing scene with a revoltingly ugly guy(
i'll call him ugly) chasing a girl(
i'll call her
chiobu) through the forest. The girl stole the stone from the king(evil guy) (acted by the fella who tried to steal the throne in johnny
english). So anyway ugly
conjurs up some flames to burn the forest(i bet he's
indonesian)
chiobu gets cornered and then suddenly the egg disappears like magic. POOF! well actually cos it was really magic.
Yah so the blur rock thingy lands up in the hands of this dashing but poor(poorer but less dashing relative to me) farm boy by the name of
eragon(
i'll call him
eragon...duh!!) the main character. finally huh.
Ok being the poor boy he is he tries to trade it for some meat and fails miserably cos the butcher hum
chee when he knew it came from the evil guy's land. He could have just asked
bala to steal it for him
lah. Anyway soon after he realises this rock is no ordinary rock. This blue rock is actually a dragon egg. surprise surprise huh. Then this fella called
brom aka started narrating the story of dragon and dragon riders blah blah.
Eragon(i
tink i'll start calling him pretty
boi) gets interested and stuff. his dragon finally learns how to fly and after 2 minutes in the air she gets
humungous. Pretty
boi at a ripe old age of 17 approaches old man to get more info but is chased away. Nearby he chances upon an
assasin chasing after him and rushes home to find his uncle dead. Old man comes along burns down the house and brings pretty
boi away towards the
valdan aka the rebels.
K so along the way old man teaches pretty
boi a lesson or two. Firstly he taught him that he can't fight. not yet anyway. Secondly he taught him some elvish which apparently evokes magic. I can't imagine if a language like
hindi or
tamil evoking magic.
There'll be dang loads of black magic and wallets cos that's what they'll keep summoning. we might face a little inflation problem cos the not so stupid ones summon money but hey
thats their country's problem. back to the story. oh yeah they keep getting chased. ugly poisons
chiobu and uses her image to talk to pretty
boi in his dreams. pretty
boi gets tricked and sets off to save her.
Isit me or do evil dudes like to hood themselves? Yeah pretty
boi covers himself up sneaks in and is followed closely by a mysterious guy. pretty
boi finds pretty girl(change name)
and live happily ever after then ugly comes along. Ugly fights with pretty
boi cos he's jealous of his looks shoots spear at pretty
boi. miraculously old man jumps to save dragon boy's life(change name again) =D. i wonder how he out ran the dragon. SO anyway dragon boy shoots ugly in the head and ugly disintegrates. dragon boy and pretty girl carries old man to safety with the help of mysterious guy shooting arrows. yeah
everybody's archery is darn good in this movie.
getting quite
sian arh the story. i shall speed up a little. i haven even started on what happened today.
yah so they get to safety, dragon boy fails to save old man cos his magic not strong enough yet. Poor old man dies. gets buried in stone and the dragon uses her hot breath to make the rock crystal or diamond.
Haha if the story were real the old man might just be on your wedding ring.
So anyway, pretty girl is still poisoned so they must rush to rebel land. mysterious boy gains trust of dragon boy and leads them to rebel land
succesfully. dumb asses also lead the enemy there and
thats where the fun begins. Oh in the movie rebel land is called the
valdan. does that translate to
africa or something cos they're leader was..well..you know..
itam.
Anyway war begins dragon boy and his steed gets shiny armor. And the dragon is finally able to breathe fire
WOOHOO!!. he burns
everyone's asses and then focuses on ugly and his cloud monster. apparently ugly can only die if u stab him in his heart. Battle involves some complicated computed generated images. dragon got bitten but manages to fling dragon boy to stab ugly in the heart. Dragon boy falls,dragon catches him and both crash.
Dragon boy awakes and finds his dragon well and alive
damn it. which means he managed to heal her. I'll just skip the lovey
dovey part between dragon boy and pretty girl
yah.
Oh i quote the old man"ask for forgiveness rather than permission." basically he's just putting into words what most of us do nowadays yeah.
Oh
yah review. highly fictitious story. So if u hate these kind of stories don't watch the darn movie.
cgi is well done. story obviously hasn't reached climax cos its a trilogy too(i think) and trilogies don't climax in the first movie. no body climaxes so fast
lah. if u know what i mean.
end of longwinded part of postAfter movie we exited through the unconventional way. through the front. found ourselves in this darstaircase that lead to this ulu area with a ultra long corridor. everything was white. we still managed to exit though. thankfully.
There was more to saturday but i shan't go on yah.SUNDAY
Woke up freaking early cos i had to be at east coast at 6.45 for the
amaing race at east coast. Its a truly
traumatizin experience and a bad start o the day. i cabbed to east coast to realise i left stuff at home so i wasted like $11 on taxi fare.
NOt inclusive of the $6 that wasn't wasted.
nvm. sad memories should not be brought up.
Ok so i was only expecting 5 people but 5 others all from cohort 8 turned up to help so there was 10 of us. My station required 5 people so it was
me,maine, jolene,jessica,and isha. I only know their names when i heard them conversing. to think nobody believes
im anti-social. Those not at my stations were
yusri,timtan,melise and jean. So our station had
thsi blow the ping pong ball thing and hit the plate thingy. Nearest toilet was 550m away from the station.
wtf? race started about 9 and ended about 12. while waiting for lorry i played ping pong with
kakak using the chair and some cardboard thingy as my bat and 2 pens as the net. That was after all 5 of us got covered in flour though.
took the lorry back to marine cove and had lunch there.food was provided buffet style.
Didnt really have much appetite though. After that i walked to pit 16 cos
kakak wanted to check out its position and it was on the way to parkway.
tim went home first.
Kakak and i scouted around for wallets. From
isetan to 77
th street to i-forgot-the-shops-name. Finally settled on this
blackbillabong wallet. Only left display piece but it looked in perfect shape so i took it anyway. Cost me half my pay. I
tink i'll start using it next year
LOL. then
easyto remeber how long it lasts me.
yupz after that took 15 to
tampines and changed to
mrt.
Kakak had some storytelling to do. Oh yeah
im considering calling all of them
jeff even if 2 of them the name already starts with J.
so anyway that just leaves the pencil case. my op voucher must be put to good use. anybody wanna get op stuff come look for me we go shopping together..haven blogged such a long post since dunno when. but probably only cos i was long winded today..oh well till next post then.
