National Treasure, 2 concerts and MARRY CHRISTMAS!
Here is a series of events that happened last week and this week.
First up, I went to watch National Treasure with Tae Hyung e hyung, Sae Hyung, and my brother. The movie was good. I say it was better than the first one. The first one had too much clues in the Declaration of Independence if I remember correctly... National Treasure 2 or Book of Secrets had some funny and "Oh my God" moments. One scene was when Ben Gates (Nicholas Cage) had to create a scene in the museum place to get himself detained by the security. His acting was damn good and hilarious. The other scene was at the end of the movie when Riley* got his Ferrari back. It was tax free and he drove it straight into another car. Heart breaking. Good thing they didn't show us the Ferrari getting damaged =D.
After the movie we went straight to E-Zone again to play Virtua Tennis 2 and Puzzle Bubble. In Puzzle Bubble, I got all the way to Stage 16 until Tae Hyung e hyung challenged me and took over my game. All of us wanted to go to the "?" stage and beat the game. But when I clicked on the choose button, the cursor was on the "X" stage and not the "?" stage. That like destroyed the gaming mood. We beat the game once then decided to beat it again just to go to the "?" stage. "?" stage was nothing much. It was just the same thing but harder. And the ending was different too. In "X" stage, the little dinosaur dude gets many friends which in the "?" stage he becomes the king.
Again after E-Zone, we went to Burger King. Its our routine. Movie, E-Zone, Burger King, bus stop then go home. At Burger King, Tae Hyung e hyung shared with us his NS stories again. How he met all these cool friends and some gay fag, dumb fuck racists during his BMT. I hope I get to meet lots of nice friends when I go there and not some dumb shits who insult my country. Good thing Sae Hyung's gonna go with me though. As well as all my friends who used to go to same Secondary school as me. I've never been hated (as far as I know) in any school I went to but I get the feeling BMT is gonna be different... Who knows?... Tae Hyung e hyung also told us his encounter with the supernaturals too. This clearly freaked out Sae Hyung and my brother. This didn't really bother me though since I always believed that there are spirits around everywhere and that they won't disturb me unless I disturb them first. Sae Hyung got freaked out so much by Tae Hyung e hyung's "HEE HEE HEE!" when Sae Hyung asked what'll happen if someone accidently touched the Red Tape that was around the forest. The "HEE HEE HEE!" wouldn't have been as scary IF Tae Hyung e hyung didn't describe the spirit he saw in the forest. Head only, red eyes, mouth super wide (as in the smile is from one ear to the other), and on some random tree. I wonder what'll happen if you shoot bullets at it though... Because I think that'll be like the first thing I'll do if I do encounter them with weapon in my hands.
Okay so moving on to the 2 concerts I went to. The first one was Tina's alumni band concert, and the second was Wei Lian's Kim Send Wind Symphony concert.
I went to Tina's concert alone since all my friends couldn't make it or didn't want to go. On my way there, the MRT was freaking crowded and this really sweaty man like walked past me when he was getting off... The smell was horrible... I'm never going on the MRT around like 6pm anymore XD. Tina was a MC at the concert and I saw a side of her I've never seen before. With thick make ups etc (from far away, the make up looked thick =D). The concert overall was good but I say the Primary school band performed better than the Secondary school band. The songs played by the Primary school band were also more exciting too. Tina's secondary school band played 2 exact songs our band played. 1 was Under the Double Eagle, and the other was Enka Medley. Under the Double Eagle was nice and it was the opening piece. When I heard it I was like "Wow this band is good". I took back my words though when I heard them play Enka Medley. The Clarinets were WAY too shy. I couldn't hear ANY Clarinets at all when they had like 13 Clarinetists. People said they could hear me and my section play at our concert when there was only 7 of us... Oh well they were probably afraid to play the high high D and E...
Next concert up the following day was the Kim Seng Wind Symphony's concert. This time I went to the concert with my section members Yvonne, Yi Zhen, Xian Hua and Liyana. We were late for the concert though... Since Xian Hua finished her work at like 4:55pm when the concert was starting at 5pm... We managed to hear only 1 song in the first half and it was Enka Medley 2. Their band was seriously good. The sound was balanced, in tune, and the soloists were damn good too. There were some squeaks though. Like those really bad ones. They didn't bother the music though. Can't believe such a excellent Clarinetist like Wei Lian had to play 3rd for the concert... He said he was too lousy compared to the other Clarinetists so he couldn't play 1st... Then where does that put me?... After the concert, We all decided to go eat with Wei Lian with his other friends. His friends gave him a brocolli as his present at the concert. It was supposed to be a flower. Wei Lian later dunked it in the trash can in front of their face XD. It was funny.
Finally for today's post... Hmm nothing much to write about actually since the its only 5pm... Well anyways, ITS CHRISTMAS!! =D. Haha Merry Christmas to everyone =D. I managed to send message to everyone in my contact list on Christmas Eve. The message sending took damn long. There was like a SMS traffic jam or something. Took total of 45minutes for my phone to send the messages to everyone. I even sent messages to people I've never messaged for like 2 years? I sent to Tiffany Fan, Hahneol, etc. Wasn't expecing replies from them but Tiffan replied XD. Thought her number changed or she deleted my number from her phone book for something. I sent messages even to Sunny, William, Wynn etc when I knew they weren't really gonna reply. Last year, I sent a message to Wynn and I think he said something like wasting his SMS and stuff XD. Haha but not disappointed even though they didn't reply though. I got a Christmas Tree message from Tae Hyung e hyung and a Merry Christmas message from Sae Hyung too =D. Takahide called me at like 1am to wish me Merry Christmas too. He wanted me to go out to hang out with him. I rejected immediately.
Haha I think I'm going out later for a family dinner. So I'm gonna stop here. MERRY CHRISTMAS PEOPLE!! =D
SHUT UP.
4:25 PM
