EELING

Last night, I caught up with a couple of friends in the weekend and we went to this lake in the evening for some eeling. Eeling=fishing for eels.

Here's how eeling goes: you put out smelly meat on the banks, attracting eels to the smell, it takes time, but its worth it. Once after an hour or so, an eel comes along and you stab it with a TRIDENT. Or should i say fivedent. 'Cause it had five ends. =D

We got only an eel, but the anticipation and patience paid off for excitement, and it was a great night. Weeman was the man of the night, having caught the only eel. Go weeman! lol

A vid:




And a few pics during the night:

Shooting

Two days ago, I shot my first RIFLE BULLET in my life. I didnt think I would ever TOUCH a real gun ever, but now i got more than i bargained!

I went over to my homestay's friend's house, Dave, and he took me and gus over to the hills to hunt some turkey. We sat at the back of his truck and after a very uncomfortable rocky trip we saw a herd of turkeys gathering at the top of a steep hill. Dave asked two of us boys to go chase them down but when we reached up there the damned turkeys flew offf like couple of paddocks away to another farm. The wind was quite strong and it took themm quite far. So......HARD LUCK for us!


so we went back and Dave set up tin can targets about half a km away and we tried shooting our hearts out. The gun's called a .22, got a pretty cool scope and fires a soft paaak when you pull the trigger. Here's it.

Scope scouts

and ME sniping......a tin can.

honest hacker's heaps of rubbish

click click. type type. "ooo, Damien's BLOG!" tee-hee-hee-hee

i'm a friend of damien. And if you're a friend of damien too, then i'm a friend of yours three--- Your friendly neighbourhood SINYEE

damien always wanted to be a part of the screen business.

maybe he wants to be a producer, a director, art director, screen director.

or maybe he wants to be an actor, a stunt, a kelefe, a coffee maker, a make up artist.

but one day he'll be BIG. besar-besar macam matahari.

call me if you need an extra lead actress or a guest appearance, damien.

call me if you need someone to walk you down the red carpet for your premiere... :)

and and and, invite ALL OF US to ur premiere!

big guy, he's very into big guy's things. he enjoys it pretty much too. okay. enough said.

last year's post exam. i admit i suk horribly in volleyball,

i can tell from damien's eyes that he's dissapointed and upset.

but he never blame. that's one of damien's best qualities =P

he's a friend you can trust and lean on.

he's a listener and gives you pretty much un-useful advices. haha kidding

i believe everyone has the same idea of damien as i do:

the best buddy you cannot ask for more.

he's a friend who gives you a hand (and then picks u up and spins you in the air) when you need one.

we love you, DAMIEN

The Ruins

Introducing....The Ruins! I saw it quite a while ago and the release date in US was april 2008 so its like 2 months old.


Plot: Four tourists travel goes on an Mexican holiday and stumbles upon a German who urges the tourists to visit an ancient Mayan temple. Upon arrival they meet unfriendly locals and their lives change forever.


This is not your average clichéd horror *cough* Prom Night *cough* (XD howie), but it delivers a new way to terrorize the audience. OK, I admit there weren't that many scares (maybe 1 that I jumped at) but the film keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. The acting is superb and their emotions shine through, the death scenes were fairly gory and very depressing but the ending only slightly tips me off.
I heard the book had a different and better ending so if you'd be able to read the book before seeing the film I recommend you do it. The film's kinda disturbing, gory, well-acted one, and i reckon it's the best horror film of the new century, with an original piece of cinema that achieves the status of an instant classic.

Starring hot young stars Laura Ramsey of SHE'S THE MAN, Jena Malone (INTO THE WILD), Jonathan Tucker(PULSE), Shawn Ashmore(XMEN).

Shawn Ashmore

Get ready for a wild cliff-hanging suspense when you play the movie! =D

toorahhh people! tallyho! kio'ra. no wait. thats good day in maori. whatever.

I LOVE DOING THE HAKA!

it motivates me TO STUDY HARDER AND STRIVE!

mwahahahhahaa! TALLYHOOOOOOOOO!

Its been long since I have logged in! Weekends has been so busy with work and now next week its the mid term exams!! Its so ironic that I have my exams right now and you guys are relaxing over the holidays with the relief of exams ending. Mmm And we have like four days of holiday right now and when we go back to school its straight into exams. So wierd eh? In mas its exams first, then holidays. Ah I expected it to be much more different here anyway.

Somehow, I see familiarities between the students here and the students back at wms. In the aspect of who we hangout with differing from different classes, the cool, the average, the lame.

The cool guys are like the people who goes out to parties much, good at sport, into skateboarding or mountainbiking. And are mainly studs. The average class, including me and most of the asians, are plainly study people and doesnt go anywhere out of the school unless asked by friends. And involved heavily in music activities. the LAME, are those who get dissed much by people, mostly large in size, dumb and incapable of
sport, and often neglected.

Its not my judgement but of how it seems like around the school. Its sad seeing some people eating lunch alone, or sitting by himself in class, or when trying to talk to someone he gets spat in the face. Sometimes you just think, why dont we talk to that lonely guy over there? I'm grateful that the guys here are friendly and happy because i've made many friends, asians/kiwis. Some even plan to come visit my country at the end of the year! =D

Music and Movies

Korean music is actually quite good, especially like those rapping ones. They have nice beats and melody, unlike black rappers' music eg 50 cent kanye west, etc etc.go look up any of mc sniper songs on youtube, you'll like it.

Korean movies are funny too, if you see comedies. They mainly copy american pie's theme, like the movie circulates around a college then theres lots of teens fooling around. But the things they do are much different. go on limewire search, search for 'sex is zero' or 'who sleeps with her', they're funny korean movies.

till then!

Lighting a FIREPLACE!

Today I lit my very first fireplace! Facsinating thing, the fireplace is. You burn wood and newspaper inside and the whole room gets warm. Decided to make a post about it. haha.

First we like put alota newspaper and burned it, and put a few PINECONES in, and when it burns fiercely, we put in the firewood. Then theres this lever where you control the amount of air in and out. We want big fire, push lever down, small fire? lever up. haha. Interesting isn't it?

Here's a few pics

And sigh, school reopens tomorrow. School actually reopens on tues, but all boarders need to return on monday night. Another full 9 weeks, then two weeks of holidays. Ah, can't wait. Till then........Tally-ho!

Movies

There are some pretty good movies coming up, some past the release date already, some arent. Well! i'll just post two which I've just seen over the hols with couple of my friends. If you think these movies were a hit too, then you share my taste for movies! =D

Never Back Down http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1023111/

Trailer

A teen movie like any other college movies, Never Back Down tells of a guy, Jake Tyler (Sean Faris) invited by a flirtatious girl (Amber Heard) in his art class to one of her parties and there he unintentionally stumbles into a fight with the school bully Ryan McDonald (Cam Gigandet). While he is defeated and humiliated in the fight, a classmate introduces himself to Jake and tells him about the sport known as Mixed Marshall Arts (MMA). He sees a star in Jake and asks that he meet with his mentor, Jean Roqua, played by Djimon Hounsou (Blood Diamond, In America).

Stars few young uprising talented actors,

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0478087/

Trailer

Something like a modern english God of Gamblers, with realistic college students beating the odds this time. Alexander loh introduced me this movie in fact, and surprisingly it was not bad at all! First ever credit to him.

Ben Campbell is a young, highly intelligent, student at M.I.T. in Boston who strives to succeed. Wanting a scholarship to transfer to Harvard School of Medicine with the desire to become a doctor, which the $300,000 for the four to five years of school he can't afford. But one evening, Ben is introduced to a secretive club of five students, Jill, Choi, Kianna, and Jimmy whom are being trained by Professor Rosa of the skill of card counting at blackjack.

Intriged by the desire to make money, Ben joins his new friends on secret weekend trips to Las Vegas where, using their skills of code talk and hand signals, they have Ben make hundreds of thousands of dollars in winning blackjack at casino after casino. Professor Rosa, as well as the group, on the radar of a brutal casino security enforcer, named Cole Williams, who holds a personal grudge of some kind against Rosa which threatens to undo everything the students have learned and earned.

Starring young Jim Sturgess and crowd fav surfer Kate Bosworth (Blue Crush)

SinYee

This short post will be dedicated to SINYEE, upon her repeated requests...........


In case readers might not know who am I talking about, here's a picture of her.

A jolly short girl whom I was same class with since form 1w, I began to notice her and her close friend Emelia when they started to engage more with Howard during form 2, who was and is MY close friend. lol

Then, we started to talk in groups during free time and we started to get to know each other better....Times then were so relaxingly sweeet. haha. Sinyee then became one of my close friends and Emelia being my pet daughter. I forgotten how though, I just vaguely remember it was thru a friendster comment....aye melia? =D

Pretty good aye?

• A pity as it was, Howard and I had to leave for Australia and New Zealand respectively. Our dear class and teacher made farewell folios for both of us, and I'm quite appreciate all their hard work for us! I'm not sure whether howard is though. lol. jk. I'm sure he is. SinYee made this lovely card for me and there it is below, all posted out in pics. A MILLION thankyous to her~!

• Another reason for the thankyous is how she has been my 'facial consultant' all these times, helping me realise not to wash my face with a handsoap, but just with the facial cleanser. I did both. lol okay dont laugh. Then, she recommended me several good facial brands as she said mine was no good. I bought three of them, all under syee's supervison....@@ Here's a pic.

Sadly my face isnt changing profoundly yet tho I'm usin it everyday. lol =(

Okay, so heres the post so sinyee no more scolds! haha

RandomNesS

-A pic of my frens house whom i went for a nights stay yesterday. Pretty flashy house....with two computers with two webcams. Last night we went out to the fields and met other asians around napier and hastings to play a type of game that played only at night. "Laser Gun" was it. lol no idea what game issit aye? It was kinda lame so im not bothered to say how it is played.

-And as sinyee requested a pic of sung-hyuncho that she is so obsessed with. XD







-Some pictures on the last day of school....where evrybody can't wait to go home! and where everybody took all their luggage home except the international students. Sigh. -I hadda leave my bag school clothes, other things that i didn't need for the two weeks holidays. We put our luggage up in the attic btw, its like a pulldown ladder leading to the roof upstairs and its dark and all. Cool attic!

-This little adorable guy here is James Yule. He is 14 years old but in same year with us. Why? He skipped year 10 because of his braininess. XD

I'm addicted to this song!? I know its old but its not bad at all! Rihanna's Shut UP and Drive.

Holidays!

Holidays! Another period of which i go to another different homestay....and suffer different things. And i'm listening to GreenDay's HOliday! A colloquial phrase often used: Time just flies so fast aye? It seems just a few days but 11 weeks and a term has gone past just like that.

And I just want to wish everyone good luck in tomorrow's sports day! I'll be rooting for YELLOW~! Go zhuowei emelia xiauwei melvyn and all d other yellow sportwo/men!

Uncomfortabilities of my homestay for this holidays

-I have to share a small room with my friend, of which the drawers and cupboards are full of his clothes. Which leaves me to store my things just in the suitcases. Not good at all!

-53kbps speed internet connection. Another words, dial up. It breaks after like every 3 mins so i can't upload nor download anythhing! Which means slow slow slow msn chatting and blogging.


Many things happened during the end of term 1, I'll just post one or two. XD


Music

-Believe it or not, I'm on a music tour to the US and UK! My teacher said they were lacking violinist so since i was qualified enough, (over grade 3)i was chosen. I'm not boasting that i'm good or anything, but I"ve always wanted to go to US and visit hollywood which we will!

-You guys may be thinking, oh its just a tour to other countries, its nothing, I could go if i wanted i just have to play an instrument.

-But this is going to tour on the best music schools in UK and US, and if it'll be quite dearly if this opportunity is missed. The cost is simply huge, a whopping 6000 nz dollars. And my parents are still finding ways to finance it. Here's a picture of our itinery next year at usa and uk. and another hearing to the piano. haha

Notice Day 13, where we'll be going to Hollywood and Universal Studios. I can't wait to see how the famous english movies are produced there! and mayb spot a few CELEBRITIES too. haha

-Last three weeks in march we had the Hawkes Bay Band Festivals hosted in our school. I wasn't playing in any band taking part, because bands that took part mainly had woodwinds and percussions in it. So i helped with the setup! I got to see many other schools like Freyberg Senior High School, Fielding Brass, Concord Symphonic Band (our own school band), and Bay Cities Symphonic Band(adults and old people lol.) perform in a way very different from an orchestra.

-One day i shall bring a saxophone back to malaysia and show you how diff it sounds. I shall posts pics later in the week.

Sports

-Winter sports! i'm playing soccer and badminton. I went for a hawkes bay badminton trials last week for U-17 and i got in! can you believe that? Obviously the standard of badminton here is low. haha. Contradicting myself. Here's a pic of me with a random mixed doubles partner. And for soccer i'm in the 4th XI. Means i'm in the fourth best team, out of five. haha.

The net's uploading is so SLOW that i gotta stop here incase the line doesn't break down. I'll do a new post tomorrow with some pics i took at hawkes bay band festival and of my homestay. CiaoZ!
