woohoo!
woke at like 11 again...
kinda piggy and all...
but i dont care...
being able to sleep in must be the best feeling in the world...
but i guess you lose out on alot at the same time...

met cy for troy...
well...
cy thought it was a tad too long...
he rather watch lord of the rings anytime man...
but i loved it...
for the war scenes...
for the fights...
esp the one between hector and achilles...
i kept thinking archimedes...
being the physics student i am...
or TRY to be...

it was darn cool...
cried non stop when the king of troy went to speak with achilles...
i guess even the most powerful men have a vulnerable side as well...
and even the most heartless warriors have love in them...
according to my sis...
the movie aint that factual...
but at least i have an idea of how the terms achilles heel and trojan horse came about...
i did before...
but never as an entire story...
am intrigued...
will read it up...
but truly...
was impressed by the war tactics and all...
the bloodshed was eeky...
i hate it...
but it was utterly necessary for the movie...
seriously...
rolling fireballs...
raining arrows...
man!
who needs F-16s or nuclear missiles if you have those!
sometimes you just marvel at their ingenuity when technology has not been developed...
but i guess such stuff wont work these days...
oh well...
still thought they were smart...
orlando bloom was truly a vase...
(think legolas in lord of the rings)
cy joked he got the role easily coz the directors din wanna train someone new...

wasnt too impressed with his lack of courage...
and the fact that he killed achilles with his bow and arrow...
esp since achilles was swoonsome brad pitt in skirt...
darn!
why did he have to die?
it was kinda ironic though...
that achilles died in the hands of the younger trojan prince...
dunnoe whether that really happened...
coz its weird that he was killed by the least courageous warrior in the movie itself...
just checked the dictionary...
achilles' heel was his oni vulnerability coz his mother, who bathed him in the magical river to make him immortal, held him by his heel...
but truly...
i liked hector better...
i think the fact that he loves his wife and son makes him a more complete person...
the way he protected his brother...
the way he fought with achilles despite knowing he'll be killed thereafter...
that, was honourable...
the ladies were utterly pretty too...
but oh well...
who isnt, in movies like these?
it's a must-watch...
unless you're like cy...
who was so bored he kept figeting...
muahhaa...
but he shouldnt complain...
treated him to popcorn...

been meeting up with pple i havent seen in a long time of late...
it's good really...
to at least keep in touch...
rather than diminish to being simply a figment of someone else's memory...
meeting da welfare comm on tues...
its been freaking long since i last met them...
guess everyone's just too busy...
oh well...
we've got to be...
welfare comm is a bunch of workacholics...
inactivity will simply suffocate us...

ate crabs with family again...
6 of us...
93 bucks...
wooahh...
would rather they give me the money...
coz my savings dipped below the waterline again...
which is bad really...
coz i was really hoping to keep it above...
so that i'll be more motivated to keep it there...
now that it crossed...
i might just lose that motivation to save money...
darn...

new school week tmr...
playing bball after school...
starting to rekindle my love for the sport...
woohoo!
probably mr sung's last chance to play...
his baby is coming soon ya???
hehehe...
so cool...
oh ya...
bot chocs for mrs bong's son...
she was telling me abt some chocs that her son liked but she couldnt find...
hope i got the right one...
if not...
i'm sure kids still love chocs...
havent met her boy...
but hearing her speak of him all the time...
i am starting to find him ultra cute already...

i'm dying to watch all the movies i havent watched...
but oh well...
i think more cool ones are coming up...
so here's the new list...
- shrek 2
- harry potter
- eternal sunshine of a spotless mind (this is gotta be cool)
- 13 going on 30 (love jennifer garner)
darn...
dont think my earnings will last me very long like dat...
one movie (at its cheapest) is more than 10 percent of my daily pay lor...
hiaks...
