It was uber difficult to get tickets to watch this controversial movie today. It was 2pm. At GV plaza sing, all 9 timeslots from 2pm to 12mn were sold out.It was 2:45pm. At the new Cathay, tickets weren't available too.It was 3:00pm. At Shaw Bugis, its another repeated episode.Luckily, there's always a back-up at Shaw Towers. After travelling so much, tickets were finally secured for a 3:40pm movie. Heng ah, no need to wait for another week.I didnt read the book. Up till around 2 weeks ago, I hadn't a single clue of what the book is about. Just some bits and pieces from those who had read. Hardly 3 years since it was published, the novel was translated to 46 languages and sold over 17 million, hence was the 2nd most-read book in the world. People had been holding the novel everywhere from school, to buses, to anywhere. But it has not found its way to my hands, yet. But after watching the Hollywood film, its time to source for one. I've decided to pick up this novel, after I finish the current novel Im tackling.Overall, I find the movie not-bad, but I was told that the book is better, in terms of captivating attention and in content too. It was nice to re-visit the Louvre Museum in Paris, since my trip 12 years ago. And I guess its no harm watching the film, as I would only take it plainly as a story, but to a greater extent, I'm watching it for the controversy.-------------------I bought an English Cd today. Yes, for those who know me, please do not drop your jaw. And no, I've not converted my faith in Mando-pop. Just that i was kinda influenced by my BMT bunkmates, back in BMT days. 2 Mariah carey fans (kenneth&bingfu) had influenced me and being drawn to her powerful vocals, i bought her "Greatest Hits" compilation album today. That's the first-ever English album I bought. Simply undescribable.--------------------And to you blogders there, do play a part for charity! And its very very simple!

i just feel that time passes abit slow, whenever i wanted it fast. And damn it, its vice versa. It feels as though i've enlisted so long ago. But thats only a matter of 4 months. There's 18 more to endure. Yeah, if you've realised, i've started to become increasingly pessimistic. It hadn't really been the case before 2006. Perhaps its because of the total lack of motivation to think, to do, to care and thus, to look forward to anything. Everything seems bleak and dull. Just when you think weekends are here and its time to enjoy, you start to look forward to it, even if its a blue Monday. Then suddenly, at mid-week, you get the news that you've a weekend (sunday) duty. That spoils it man. Spoils the total optimism. Dampens the mood. Kills the spirit. That would be the 3rd duty this month. The 2nd Sunday duty this month. "There'll be more weekend duties to come." All because of NDP. Hopefully after NDP, things will get fairer. But then again, i prefer to keep optimism low. An NSF can never be hopeful of things.Perhaps you may wonder, Why am i so sour about guard duties? Let me frankly explain. I do not mind doing guard duties. Even if it falls on weekends, and that its only because of a fair routine system. I would gladly fulfill the duties as required, since there's tv, food, aircon, etc. BUT, in a span of just ONE month, i've been slapped with THREE SUNDAYS. My top concern here is my driving lessons ok. With the practical test coming in a few weeks' time, i really cant afford to lose lessons like that. And 3 lessons do make a difference. And between now and the test in july, there'll SURELY be more sunday duties. I really do not want such brainless duties to jeopardise my chances of passing. And its not as if im that rich enough to sell off the duties. Come on, the market rate for a weekend duty is $120. its definitely not worth it.Aaargh. So much for guard duties. My second greatest hate in NS. I apologise for making this entry a dull read. Cos i know not many can connect with me, for doing the most duties compared to others, for a non-RP vocation. But i just wanna let you ppl know, this sunday when i book in early in the morning, I would be dragging myself with a total pessimistic outlook. Freedom in 18 months.
