Round 2

Right, I promised some pictures and updates soon on what's been going on around here in the UK, so here it is =] Been a pretty eventful period for the past few months. Attended a few events like the 3 Doors Down gig (IT WAS AWESOME) Ling Yu's fashion show (model for a day she was *wink wink* ), road trip to Wales, Singsoc trip to blackpool and last but not least, the most recent trip to Amsterdam.

Yes, Pat, I know we've only just been there last year, but this trip was still worth it. Managed to do different things for the most part, so it was cool. The tulips were in bloom, so it made up for what we missed on the previous time. Also went to the Rijjk Museum to check out Rembrandt's works instead of the ever popular Van Gogh Museum. Managed to finally get into the Heineken Brewy after trying for 2 days. Of course, we all went to the RLD and tried out the various mental stimulants on sale. What did you expect from a group consisting solely of 11 raging males. Hahaha. Enough said, all in all a very enjoyable trip!




Check out the tickets from easyJet! It's almost as if we're going on a bus ride!

Guess how I spent the afternoon?

Reading this very interesting article on how Fight Club the movie is really the real life version of Calvin and Hobbes the comic strip. Not sure if this was written as a discussion by a film student or something like that, but I seriously enjoyed reading about the comparisons made as well as the obvious effort made in researching and cross referencing between the two subjects.

It's kind of a pleasant surprise to find myself agreeing with the well thought out arguments. Well, it really isn't that surprising. :P I've LOVED the C&H comic strips since time immemorial and enjoyed Fight Club the movie immensely (even though Ling didn't really enjoy it). Any of you happen to like both and concur with the parallels drawn by the author of the article? I'm sorry if it's too much of a read or this post bored you to tears.

I feel like getting the DVD for Fight Club and buying a book of Calvin and Hobbes now... ah... good times...

Shoot

Haven't blogged in sometime and I apologise, but there have been activities going on here. I promise to update soon. Meanwhile, I have to catch up on sleep as well as someone very important to me =)
