Everybody, 咬紧牙关! This semester is proving to be crrrrazy. I'm now having the battle of the Six-es. MB106 vs. COM206. And then there is COM202. COM208 is looming in the background. HZ101 is always there (I love you, Creative Writing course, but I'm sorry I don't have much time for you).

Sorry, for those non-NTU people, the above paragraph would've seemed like gibberish. But for those NTU WKWSCI students, well, our nightmare ain't over yet. The E-word is coming. Starts with E and ends with an S. EEEKS.

I'm supposed to be doing work, but here I am. I have to rant and unwind. I'm sorry, projects will have to wait. Here are some cheery photos =)

Beautiful Checkered Day! It does seem like we're in blissful happiness, doesn't it? Eve says it all.

Vanessa, if you're reading this, I'm quoting you: Bakerzin macarons are "berry booms".

Cheers to a night of unspeakable and un-repeatedable "I Have Nevers". Merril, you have our salute. And Eve is blissful again.

Notice the 'red' consistency. This can also be a Burberry advertisement, with Hui Ying as the model. Backdrop? Toa Payoh HDB.

Contrary to Wang's belief, we are not in Thailand. This is our Victory photo outside Holland V's Crystal Jade after our epic 30-basket battle with Xiao Long Baos. I'm swearing off meatballs for at least a month.

Talking about epic battles........

I give the movie:





Too many Hollywood blockbusters have failed us recently.

Alice in Wonderland wasn't wonderful. The Lovely Bones wasn't lovely. And Clash of the Titans, well, wasn't exactly a Titan-ic achievement.

But this can be said: if you're looking for good, campy fun, Clash is the movie for you. With engaging special effects and mysterious and grand settings, the movie sweeps you off many times, but it also throws you back onto the ground hard and fast.

Perseus (Sam Worthington from Avatar) the demi-god - who is the son of Zeus (Liam Neeson) - has to slay the head of Medusa in order to stop the Kraken (offspring of Ralph Fiennes' Hades) from wreaking havoc in a city.

If you're confused already, that is the thick, Greek back-story that is flashed out on-screen for this remake of the original and beloved 1981 classic. But the story never gets boring. Rather, this is one movie that I actually wished was longer.

With a myriad of Gods, demons, monsters, witches and creatures, a longer running time would definitely satisfy the viewers even more.

FINAL SAY: That said, this is still an enjoyable romp of a movie. A no-brainer but still a passable, loving homage to the good ol' times of Greek mythology.

OKAY. Resting time. Back to reality. Jia you!

Take care, people!
