a place where she always goes

the skies were very beautiful today when i looked up before morning assembly.
the expanse of swirly clouds, the simpleness of the blue sky.
it dint quite take my breathe away, but i did realise that it was a long time since i looked at the skies. the last time was probably when i was on my way to hwa chong in the morning, rocking on 157 down dunearn road, and staring into the vast sky, amzaed at the changing colours, from peach, to purple, to red and slowly, finally blue. still miss the good old times of travelling along dunearn road, even though it was only for 2 years. but as i made up my decision to go to smu, i realise that i will still be travelling down that road in the mornings for the next 1 year odd. which is a nice thing oddly. though it's gonna be a very long distance from my house (more or less la, compared to hwachong it's gonna be further, compared to rg, it's gonna be closer).
to think i was still thinking about travelling along that same road when i took 174 down from school (as in hillgrove) to orch. had to pass by dunearn road along the way, and looked out for hwa chong as i passed by it. the courts were deserted and the building stood silently. guess everybody was at lectures and tutorials. i suppose. i presume. there could be some monkeys who ponned class and over at the chinese high canteen enjoying their meals for all i know. hwa chong people aint as guai and nerd as all you guys out there think. yeah. grin.

went to watch troy yesterday with ruoling and xinxin. had a great time catching up with them, for them to pamper monstar and for me to torture it even more. troy itself, was okay. as in, the acting was great, plenty of eye candy but the storyline was thin. it was spreaded out quite thinly across the 2.5 hour movie, such that action only picked up in the last 40 minutes and the first part of the movie was rather draggy. i mean, since it is war and all, so i suppose wars are meant to be draggy. cant help but laugh at the foolishness of the greeks initially. and sigh at the stubborness of the troy king for refusing to listen to his two sons. and laugh again at the foolishness of the troy people about receiving the present of the gigantic horse. like what ruoling said, if the horse was bloody heavy and required tens of men to drag it along, and the horse was holey, should it not cause suspicion? oh, and i do think that orlando bloom is better looking than brad pitt in the show. i mean, i dont like guys with long hair, therefore i reach the conclusion that orlando bloom was better looking. there were shadows of him as legolas in the movie, due to him practicing his arrow shooting, but his acting was good. as a worthless pathetic fella. oops. well, both LOTR and troy had 5 star ratings from the straits times, but i must say, LOTR is tons better. maybe because they had nicer scenery from new zealand, and the plot was alot thicker. yeah. i wanna watch the day after tomorrow, shrek 2 and van helsing. van helsing, because both my sis and xinxin gave it thumbs up, and xinxin did say i would love the show. knowing her, knowing myself i prolly would.

then me and ruoling went to DA BIG O to eat dinner. yumyumyum. the cheesecake was nice. the 'dirty rice' was nice but oily. and now im having a worse cough as compared to yesterday. oh wells. who cares. so as long as i enjoyed myself. teehee. okay fine, dont throw things at me. "P
well, happy birthday ruoling and hope you enjoyed youself yesterday. grin.
