LOTR Personality Test
You are most like Aragorn (Stryder) Son of Arathorn

Aragorn's decisions often seem against conventional wisdom, but he knows what to do and why it must be done, regardless of the cost.
You are good at making contingency plans and come up wiith efficient means to acheive clear-cut ends. You are highly independent, and continue on with your plans even in the face of data that might suggest to others that it's no longer feasible. Time alone is important and solitary activities refresh you. You have a tendency to introspection. In your desire for clarity in life, you may have the tendency of being remote or even "heartless". You try to schedule your life as much as possible. You tend to finish your work before resting.
As the foil to Aragorn, Sauron clearly embodies the evil side of this personality.
Traits: Pragmatic, autonomous, ingenious, resolute. On the dark side you could desire power and domination.

Hmm.. although I like Aragorn but I dun think my character is quite like him.. I tend to rest before I do my work haha.. well nevertheless it's cool to be of king material heh.

Le Papillon

Heartwarming movie about the friendship of an old man (Julien) and a little ger (Elsa). Behind the jokes there are some hidden lessons to be learnt. One thing i like about french movies is their witty dialogues. They are a lot more funnier and original than the usual Hollywood movies.
Lothlorien
This song sounds really magical.. makes you feel that you are really in Lothlorien (the place where Lady Galadriel lives). Can't wait for Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King to come out.
Cycling
Went cycling at Pulau Ubin yesterday with Min and the Teh Tarik Gang. The last time I went Pulau Ubin was in secondary during St John hike. Nothing much has changed there. It was raining by the time we got there, so the tracks were pretty muddy. After the whole thing, everyone of us were splattered with mud. Luckily there weren't many mosquitoes around. On the whole it was quite fun. It was my 2nd cycling trip! The 1st one was the night cycling with the windsurfers. If the night cycling were to be considered as a test of endurance, then this Pulau Ubin one was a test of difficulty - terrain test. The tracks were so bumpy and slopy that I had to keep getting down to push my bicycle. Guess I still need to brush up on my cycling skills. Can't wait for the next cycling 'test'.

Fanfan La Tulipe

Contrary to the low rating it has in the IMDB website, i found myself enjoying this movie a lot. Though the plot is the usual predictable one-man show who saves the world and gets the girl of his dreams, Fanfan (pronounced as "fong-fong" and not "fang-fang" like what Penelope Cruz did in the show) is highly entertaining with some of its tongue-in-cheek jokes. Remake of the original 1907 Fanfan. Watch it if u're out to enjoy and relax.
Neneh Cherry and Youssou N'Dour - 7 Seconds
My all-time fav 90's song. Multi-lingual song with anti-racism message. The melody is haunting.
Neneh Cherry is actually the sister of Eagle Eye Cherry and Titiyo. Weird names they have in the Cherry family.

Mood Swings
Violent mood swings these days. Dunno is it due to PMS, exam stress or watever else.
Sometimes i hate myself for behaving a certain way, yet can't control it.

The Matrix Revolutions

Not as bad as i tot. Better than the ultra crappy and trying-to-act-chimz Matrix Reloaded but definitely not as good as the original Matrix. More action scenes though not as impressive and nouveau as the Matrix 1. The fighting machines used by the Zionites look a bit comical though. Reminds mi of transformers. But i still feel that the Wachowski brothers should stop at Matrix 1. The sequels really kinda "hua4 she2 tian1 zu2" (adding legs to a snake, i.e. redundant and spoil the whole picture). Anyway, watch Matrix 3 on a $6.50 day.

Love Test - Animal Test (from Shacko's blog)
1. You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.
2. In the process of courtship, the approach that would make you feel irresistable is straight-forward, just tell you he/she loves you.
3. The impression you would like to give to your lover is loyal, faithful, never change.
4. What you hate most in your partner is that the person is ruthless, cold-blooded, and/or ironic.
5. The kind of relationship you would like to build with your partner is one that you care not only about the present but also the future with your partner, a long-lasting relationship that you can grow with.
6. You care about the society and morality, you won't do anything wrong after marriage.
7. You always want to get married, but in fact, you don't even know what it really is.
8. At this moment, you think of love as a committment for both parties.

Hmm.. ard 75% accurate.

Roxette - You Don't Understand Me
One of my fav Roxette songs. Sad song. Thought these few lines of lyrics are quite poignant:
...We said 'Goodnight' but the silence was so thick
you could cut it with a knife...

...When you kiss my mouth and you hold my body close,
do you wonder who's inside?...
Meat
http://www.petatv.com/tvpopup/Prefs.asp?video=mym2002
Have been refraining from meat these couple of days ever since i saw this video. It's really sickening to see how the farmers torture the animals like that. Simply inhuman.
Matchstick Men

Caught this show with min on Sunday. Hmm.. so-so ordinary plot. Maybe cos i'm clever enough to guess the development of the plot, so not much surprises. Nicholas Cage is as good as ever with his role as a con-man cum cleanliness freak. Also stars Sam Rockwell (he's the bad guy in The Green Mile). Tot Alison Lohman acted well in the show, quite like her.
