Strange(r) Attraction

I think I am falling in love with a complete stranger. It may not be love, but I am strangely attracted to her in a strongly non platonic way. I see her almost everyday now on the bus and she is only there for five minutes before she gets down at her bus stop. But these for this five minutes, all I can do is admire her and fall in love with her.
I take the bus 198 from jurong east everyday morning to school. She is always there on the 9:25 bus when I get in. She is probably indian, but Im clueless from which part she is from. She is petite,beautiful and seems sharp as a whip. The amount of confidence in her movements I notice in the five minute time window I get impresses me. Maybe my attraction towards her are purely superficial and lustful but it has not happened to me in a while. She gets down two stops after I get up and goes to work. One of these days I hope to strike a conversation with her.

Boring Boring Graduate Seminar Module

The only reason im writing this blog right now is cos we have this compulsary sucky sucky module called graduate seminar module where we are having something as retarded as library training right now.
After being thru 4 yrs of undergraduate studies which involved extensive library use,paying fines, looking thru articles I really donno why have to go thru all this.
If not for the 1.5 shots of expresso I had in me(1.5 because i threw away half of the last shot cos we ahve expresso machine and coffee is free for us).

Whats been happening to me lets see:

*I have this boring module which i hate hate hate...i feel like someone is deliberately trying to destroy my brain activity capacity...other one is nanoscience which is like goin thru a silent movie in half speed

*im learning french ..well goin well...nice teacher....very pretty teacher(looks like elisha watever in some angles) but i feel like in nursery school saying the alphabets and numbers aloud....there are 2 pretty girls in my class and i already ahve my number(no big credit cos we were supposedd to give each other those)

Major Spoiler: Cloverfield Monster Revealed:Yes I saw the movie and drew it



Yesss, I saw the moster before the rest of the world because the movie released in Singapore atleast 1.5 days before in the us and the rest of the world.
On top is the picture i drew of the moster(I wish i could have taken a shot in the theatre but i would have been arrested)
The top most picture is pretty accurate description of the monster,they never reveal where it came from or wat happened to it. Its like huge,huge dinosaur(see the small tank and people for comparision) and has this weird front leg,
The face of the moster is like a snake, with 2 inflatable bags of membrane which inflate when its breathing, I could not draw a proper pic because the face is shown only for a moment.
There are also these spider like creatures which fall from tis body which resembles the spiders from star ship troopers.
Movie is intense and lot of people die but it is also too short and inconclusive but its really fun to watch it.

1) im in calcutta after a whole long year...strangely nothing much has changed since last year and not much of a difference.....saveda lot of money with generous friends offering to pay the bill......met some friends after 2.5 yrs was really goood.....but its good that im only here for a week...too short to get all attached and then be depressed when i go back to singapore

2) I sooooo wished i had bought my d80 with me to clacutta ...so much to shoot....its just mind boggling...subjects...textures....drmatic lightning( specially in winter)

3) Its really sucky that im returning on the 31st of december....bit dramatic...though....but i have this belief that if I celebrate my 31st the year next sucks...so I woulndt really want 2008 to suck

4) I have decided to lead a good life(shit i dont even know the spelling) atleast the first six mnths of 2008 and see how it leads...I have lost many of my principles and this time I have firm resolution to get them back...no drinking and other unmentionables I have done throughout 2007

Geek Life: Makeover OS Style


Geek Life:Immaculate Virgin Conception


Sorry Guys...Had exams


Sorry guys for the lack of comics.............had exams the last 2 weeks

The Kingdom:Review


The Kingdom : Starring Jamie Fox and Jennifer Garner ... 7/10

I have been watching tons of movies lately...cos simply my exams are over and I dont ahve much to do. I happened to watch the kingdom twice not only cos I liked it also cos I happened to be with two different groups. Kingdom is about a team of FBI agents lead by jamie fox to investigate bombings on american citizens in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I wouldnt go on describing the story here if u want to read the story link is at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kingdom_(film)

Salient points of the movie include the local police cheif Al Ghazi who has more significant role than most of the American cast. Jamie foxx does the good know it all american ready to save the world kinda deal but Al Ghazi steals the show with down to earth realistic comments and in his naive way pointing how how ridiculous western culture actually is. The movie is believable in its content but has amazing action sequences with all kinds of weapons thrown in. If u want to watch a more interesting version of Syriana I would recommend watching this movie.

Writer's Block

Writing without anything in mind is hard or even having really really disorganized thoughts is hard even harder is writing this blog with the tv on with house running makes it even tougher.

What is there to write about anyway? Maybe its the fact that 12 yrs in a morale crushing boys school had made me so awkward with women that I do a great job of repelling them or the fact that drinking 4 times a week is really bad for me. Or maybe that movies are mostly optimistic unrealistic bullshit and I will tell you why.

Recently I had run out of movies to watch and ended up with something called "the holiday". Some blah blah really bad chick flick that I had to fast forward through. The movie did have cameron diaz and kate winslet whom I like a lot but also had jude law whom I hate cos my ex liked him and fantasized about him instead of me. Anyway these horrible over optimistic chick flicks are so full of shit that they make u believe life improves when it never does. Basic idea is when someone "special" leaves u there is always someone else right there to take her place..but reality is that there is no one there and you jus go from worse to miserable during those times alone.

I did get "American Gangster" from a guy I know and I plan to watch this movie. Personally I dont like Denzel Washington at all because he overdoes his part, not much overdoing as Jamie Fox who really really overacts. But i dolike Russell Crowe a lot and I think he will do a really good job in the movie.

Some people in this world want everyone to believe that they are having a lot of "Fun". What im sure of is that they are not really having so much more fun that you or me, but what do they acheive by making everyone believe that they are having the most fun. Is it cos that their childhoods were that miserable that they have to over compensate for it by talking about it all the time.

Penning down my Crazyness:My moleskin Notebook

Recently I have seen many people(europeans) lately armed with a moleskin notebook where they write down something after every half an hour. As original as I am I decided to buy myself one to pen down my crazy thoughts as they come and hopefully piece them together into the worlds craziest novel. I also included a happyness quotient everytime I write which is basically a score out of 10 of how happy I am. This is a way to track my mood over weeks and years maybe.

So what I got until now is :

1) "Bra" means good in swedish.. so if u want to buy a good bra...go to the store in sweden and say "BRa bra"(only for the ladies...ccrossdressers plzz use french ...suits u better)

2) had a funny thought about a guy who tries to make a move on a girl in a club, bus or any location and whent he girl retaliates and people gather around him ..he shouts "im gay , im gay" just sounded funny in my head....

Nightwatch and Daywatch


I like dark movies with underlying themes of fight between good and evil cos maybe they reflect the daily shit we go through trying to control the internal conflicts we have.

Nightwatch , daywatch and something to come are a triology of movies based on a russian fairytale theme about the fight between good and evil. Here light and dark have been brought to an agreement for centuries and delicate balance exists between each with both sides careful enough not to break the agreement.

Set in mordern moscow, it is a welcome relief from dark american movies set in new york or something and the actors are a refreshing change and also the way the movie is shot. Nightwatch mainly tells us about the protagonist Anton, who got involved in the light/dark shit when he tried using a witch to kill his unborn child. Movie has shape transformers, vampires, dark light dimensions, trucks on nitro and some really really beautiful women. Nightwatch is about them trying to stop a vortex over modern moscow and anton discovering that is son is still alive and who will later be the great one and make the dark stronger.

Daywatch shows how his son is becoming stronger and stronger till he releases destruction over entire moscow and about the chalk of destiny to reverse time.

Most of the movie is shot in a cross processed greenish hue which is my favorite, the visual effects are great and the constant heavy metal background music makes the two movies really heart pumpinly good.

Santanico Pandemonium

My favorite video of all time....relally really smouldering salma hayek dancing to some real good music from the movie "Dusk till dawn"....starring george clooney and tarantino.....i really like robert rodriguez movies....hayek has a small role in the movie as a vampire who gets killed wayyy too fast but lets beer drip on her leg into tarantino's mouth.....
