Sights And Sounds: Movie (The Proposal)

It's been some time since I caught a movie. (actually more like its been a long time before I caught a movie before G.I. Joe.).

Anyways The Proposal is a darn nice movie. Its funny, but I actually looked at it at a very romance-movie point of view as well. It's not well balanced, as in the romance part wasnt very complete but still nice nonetheless.

Brain Storm: Connecting Back To Our Youth

It was more than just a dinner. From 7pm till 11pm, we chatted non stop. There was just so much to talk about, so much to remember. And at the end of every single topic we came up with, we ended with things like "we've grown up" and "man, that was the past, we're so old now".


We're only 20 years old and we've got so much memories. Although it's true that its partially due to 1) I was the only guy with 2 girls and 2) we havnt met for a long time, but just seeing each other reminded us so much of the past. Stupid things, funny stuff, little details we never thought we would remember. But we also realised how much we have forgotten.


I always remember the fact that memories may mislead us. So I guess a good gathering like this would definitely do once in a while, to refresh our memories while its still not too stale. The bad after effect is the oldness I feel in me. Wow, once again teenhood seems like a long time ago.

Brain Storm: Unchanging Proven

Just an add on. Really, some things don't change.


My secondary school friend met my primary school friend the other day.

Primary School Friend: "So how is Wen Qin?"
Secondary School Friend: "Hmm, very arrogant lor!"
Primary School Friend: "So he's still like that ah..."

Brain Storm: Unchanging

One of the lessons that life taught me is that everyone changes, like it or not, at some part of their life. Sometimes even after teenhood (gosh I'm like so old, teenhood seems like a long time ago).

Anyways lately I did a radical (radical to me, that is) change to my appearance. When I appeared before my campmates, friends of a year, they exclaimed out loud stuff like "why did you do this?" and "you look so -censored- now!". However, when I met my secondary school friends of 6,7 years, they didnt comment at all. I was, well half disappointed, its like they didnt notice at all. Yesterday when I met my campmates again, they commented that when they see certain shops like "77th Street", they will go like "this is such a wen-qin-shop". Apparently even though they were surprised that I underwent the radical change, it was still a change thats very me.


So I guess to my old friends, some things never change.

Event: Intense Battle!

Have you ever played War before? I recently took part in one, albeit reluctantly.


At one point, I was up on the 4th level of an empty building. It was urban warfare. We've secured the area, prepared our defenses. But our enemies were soaring in spirit and morale, they were unstoppable. When all seemed bleak, I locked myself in a room. In the less than 30mins that seems mere 5mins, enemies were at my doorstop. They kicked, banged and tried to barged in. I cocked my rifle, ever so intense, ever so ready.







I'm not here to fight it, I'm not here to win it, I'm here to survive it, I'm here to live through it. And so I did. I can only pray for peace thereafter. Please.
