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.

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!
