Things are getting difficult now... It had been 2 months in ACCA liao, still have another 2 more months to study before the December exams.... Last monday, the results for the June exams had released. There are alot of people happy and some very sad because they just fail by 2~5 marks different. They Ang Mo marked papers very stict as compare to previous papers. This year results are amongst the worse of all....
I am quite scare for this year dec papers. I will be getting 4 papers in a weeks, Can I make it through in one round.
I hardly touch on my papers yet, all the textbooks are free as if they are included in the tution fees. Now is the time to be serious, no more playing a fool liao. My ACCA courses are going to end soon in around late October, november is where revision begins. I heard that the revisions needed to pay money, but happy to hear that some of lecturers decided to give us extra sessions on the Novemeber free of charge (FOC). December 5,6,7 and 9 are my exams dates. Wish me good luck for all my 4 papers.
There are 2 papers are on theory and another papers are on practicer. To me, maths are ok, what have to do is to keep on practicing all the past years papers unitl I can get the feel of it. But for the theory papers, they are quite tough for me, because my english is not that good. The law paper is the tougher amongst all the papers, previously in Poly, law paper is open-book exam. But now, it is a close-book paper and all the case and facts need to be remembered by hard. And it is alot to remember.
So all in all, how can i find time to do all that?
I'm asking for it. But i'm gonna strive hard. I've not been working hard in my younger days. Now it's payback time!!!
I went to watch "The Maid" movie with Huiting yesterday at Marina Square, after my ACCA orientation in Pan Pacific Hotel Ballroom. This Huiting is so blur and so surprise when she first step in MS, to her suprise, MS had changed a lot as compare to previously. I had bought a lot of things back, i bought a very nice shirt from EBASE, bought a crystal necklace and etc....
Back to the topic again: To my surprise, almost the full cinema is full, only about 20% empty. Actually i am quite confused at first, but i am quite impressed by the movie afterall. I was quite weiry and funny. As it is the first Singapore horror movie produced by raintree pictures. Being only the very first movie created by our singaporeans, I think it is very well done, but it can be improved in future. Of course, for a horror movie to be successful, it must first be horrifying. The next horror movie i will forwards to is the english version of "Dark Water". I watched the trailer from the cinema before the show starts. Another surprise to me, there are alot of malay audiences, I think that it is a good thing because they are able to know our chinses traditional practices.
Synopisis of the Movie:
During the Chinese Seventh Month, the gates of hell open and spirits are let loose upon an unsuspecting world. For these 30 days, the dead walk among the living. To protect themselves, mortals devise rules. Rules such as: Do not swim during the Seventh Month; do not turn back at night when someone calls out your name; do not talk to strangers on a deserted stretch of road.
What make the movie that successful are the following items:
1) the place of the horrid scenes
2) the gruesome face of the ghosts
3) the horry sound effect
4) sudden shock appearance
5) grabbing the leg of the actress from behind
6) etc....
The story review:
Hailing from a small village in the Philippines, the 18-year-old arrives in Singapore on the first day of the Seventh Month to work as a domestic maid. She urgently needs money to save her ill brother back home in the Philippines and ghosts are the last things on her mind. Happily for Rosa, life in Singapore cannot be rosier. Her employers – the elderly and gentle Mr and Mrs Teo – are a godsend, caring for her as if she is their own daughter. Their mentally-handicapped son Ah Soon also takes to Rosa immediately. Between cleaning house and helping the Teos out at their Chinese opera workplace, Rosa experiences the exotic sights and sounds of Singapore to her delight. Then, things start going amiss. Glimpsing strange apparitions at night, Rosa soon finds herself tumbling into the world of the dead. Unknown to the innocent girl, she had unwittingly broken many rules on the first few days of the Seventh Month.
At the end of the movie, then I know what the story is about. Acutally Ah Soon is died at the beginning, he will only be appeared during the 7th month of every year. The main motive of the his parents is to get the maid married his son, Ah Soon. Lastly, Teos Minster died and the died Ester help Rosa by burning the string, if not she will die, and if she die, she will have to marry to Ah Soon.
It was horrible because some scenes are outrightly low class, means to say that low class horror make us of "suddenly" to scare the audience. "The Maid" scared me in some scenes. So I hereby conclude the quest for horror movie to scare me is successful.
This year is our 40th years of independent.... This year is the boring year I had ever been before.... It was so hard to find some friends out for gathering, most of my friends are being attached, so hardly see each other. Some others of them are in NS or even overseas celebrating their long weekends.... Lucky, I had one very good friend who known for about 6 years liao... she is so kind to go out with me, same as me single now.... poor thing.
We talk alot from the first time we meet till now.... Its not very long period of time, to us is very long, we hardly meet out, both very busy.... During school time, we and others friends of us are very close, 5 of them are like flower bees also together as one.... now very hard liao. But we still chat via sms, that is more than enough. We too meet out during new year or christmas countdown for clubbing.
This year, I and Kelis went out for last minutes shopping, we heard that yesterday is the last day for special discount... Most of the shop do give very good/low discount. We bought a lot of things back. Lastly, we went to the Esplanade to see the fireworks.... The place is so packed from the citylink to the exit of Esplanade. Lucky, we found a very place to see the firework... The view here is so nice as compare to the view seen at my homeplace.... Previously, most of my friends were come to my home to see and eat at the same time, the fireworks are small and no sound... The atomsphere is Esplanade is so good as its same in Pandang.
Sorry I had not taken any pictures this year, because it is the last minutes arrangement to go to see the fireworks, but I will be going to the another fireworks display on the 14 Aug (this coming sat) at 7pm... The fireworks display will start 8pm and it will last for about 10 min.... Anyone interested to join me there, give me a call or sms me ok...
Lastly, I will like to wish Singapore a Happy 40th Birthday....
