pool
Tuesday, December 25, 2007
there are 3 different type of pool cues. the playing cue, the jump cue, and the break cue.
playing cue: for the normal shots in the game, used the most
jump cue: self-explanatory, for doing jump shots
break cue: for doing the break, which is the first hard hit on the triangle of balls. thicker and heavier for a more decent break.
i bought my playing cue last year. its called Dick. i wanted to name them Tom, Dick and Harry. but i cant anymore, because i bought a new jump and break cue. 2 in 1. its beautiful
theres 3 parts. the shaft, the middle thing and the butt. the first 2 parts joined would make the jump cue. if i screw the butt(no pun intended) in, it would be a break cue. cool eh? btw the butt's wrap is leather. naice. and i love the pattern on the middle part. the wood looks very exotic^^
dick is on the right =D

if you wanna see me do a jump shot heh
kenn took this video. i was so excited after i bought this cue. made my mum poorer =D so i went to play pool with him heh. hes a nice guy. you know why? when i told people i was going to the zoo during christmas, they would all say "why go zoo? see ah meng ah?" ONLY KENN SAID "siao ah christmas go zoo? find reindeer ah?" THATS WHY KENN IS NICE.

It's funny how contradictive we people can be . During the school semester when we are supposed to attend school every day , we lament the fact that the holidays seem so far away . BUT , when the holidays are FINALLY here after much anticipation , WE BEMOAN YET AGAIN on how lifeless the holidays are . This seems to be a never ending cycle that would repeat itself without fail every year . Are we furrowing our brows and carping for the sake of doing so , or are we complaining only because we are Singaporeans ?
Digressing , it was NNSK's birthday yesterday ! I think I sounded even more enthusiastic than him lor -.- . We watched Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium because we've already caught practically all the shows that are rated PG or G . He wanted to watch Warlords again but I put my foot down and told him that I refuse to be refused at the entrance (the show was nc16) . So , we went ahead with the Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium . Besides the fascinating toys which I swear we have never had as kids , the show was a complete disappointment . It had such a dampening plot and an embarrassing scene where Natalie Portman frolicked in the store as if she were some kind of cracked retard .
Then , we had our lunch in Fish and Co at AMK Hub . If you ever have an urge to eat "Philadelphia Fish and Chips" , DO NOT expect to find the same dish with that name any other branch because it would be known as "New York Fish and Chips" . Like , how lame is that ? We ordered Chocky-something as we thought it would be some thick chocolatey (I got this word from the koko krunch cereal advertisements and I've finally used it after all these while ! Yay !)
shake . BUT IT TURNED OUT BEING AN ICE BLENDED SHAKE . Our brain got frozen so cold that it could be a store for ice cream . -.- . When it was time to foot the bill , I thought that NNSK would go bonkers from the drink and start taking off his shoes to "foot" the bill by presenting his foul-smelling feet to the poor waitress who showed us the bill , but NO , he couldn't resist not putting on a charade bout not having money (which I bought . What a dumbo .) . -.- . On the way to the MRT , we were debating over this notion: This house believes that Nicole isn't an NSK . Guess what ? Opposition(me) wins . I AM A TRUE NSK .
Next , we went to play pool . He got owned by MEMEMEMEME in 1 out of the 5 games we played . It might not seem like a big deal but it's an improvement (: . Then his family (excluding his dad) came . I thought his mum would start scrutinising me from head to toe and shake her head in disappointment as I turned out being an NSK , which was a group of people that she definitely didn't want her son hanging out with . But she turned out being so chatty and cute ! I like her . She kept NNSK's cue cap because she thought it was a chocolate ! Amused , NNSK tried being funny (like he always does) by saying , "Chocolate huh ? Then you eat lar ." Which was mean . MEAN BEAN !
(Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium - was a disappointment . Credit should be given to those toys though )

just came back from watching this movie "the warlords" with my dad. it was damn good. at least it made me cry like there was no tmr and made me think all other movies are crap, thats how good it is. it portraits the strong brotherhood bonds during times of war, and how far they would go to honour the pledge. pardon me, im still feeling emo from this damn good movie heh.in short, if you have the looks of at least 16 years of age, just go catch it. its damn worth the money i promise

The thing about not giving movie reviews ... Let me take it back =Pp . I live a contradictory life and I cannot help it . Sometimes , when I look into the mirror , though I see a female , I feel like a male . Kidding .
One's smart , one has an unsatisfiable crave for food while the other's cool (well , at least he thinks he is) , what's so nice about sitting in a dimmed cinema watching three bushy-tailed squirrels (oops , chipmunks , I mean ) talk ? Might as well buy three squirrel-looking stuffed toys , make one don a pair of spectacles , shove imaginary french fries into the mouth of one of the three and get the last one a red hoodie with a big "A" on it AND THEN turn of the bleddy lights . See , your VERY OWN "Alvin and the Chipmunks" in your VERY OWN abode, so there is not a need to go and watch the movie . See , that also saves you 8bucks !That was what I thought initially . Until , I actually managed to drag myself out of bed and into the cinema . Reasons why "Alvin and the Chipmunks" is one helluva mooviee you musn't miss :
- Jesse McCartney is the voice of "Theodore" ( the chipmunk in green) . Now , altogether girls , say "Awwwwww" . AWWWWWW . Who cares if he sounds the most feminine among the trio ? 8bucks just to see , or rather , hear JESSE MCCARTNEY singing christmas carols in his digitally enhanced , squishy voice WHILE acting cute is already considered a steal ! It's not everyday that Jesse stars in a movie sounding this adorable right ?
- You get three squirrels dancing as if there's no tomorrow . Oh , and they can boogie . Woo lala ~
- Unlike any other christmassy movies , it does not end with a "Christmas is all about giving" message. Who needs to learn the same life lesson every single December ? We already got that like , two christmasses ago , thank you very much .
- Also , if it can get boys - who claim that they have more testosterone than we assume they have - divulging their deepest darkest secret about always having this thing for "kawai"-like creatures , why can't we enjoy this movie as much as the guys ?
In short , FIVE STARS !

Twits - How exactly do we define them ?
In my point of view , twits need not be your typical ah lian or ah beng . It is not used to describe a person's dressing or behaviour , but rather , it is used to describe the very way people communicate .
Essentially , when we interact with others , be it online or in a text message , we would type "like this" . We would spell our words as they were meant to be spelt , we would not use any Singlish and neither would we add in hanyu pinyin . Anything that doesn't meet these 3 criteria would turn out "lykk dhhis" . Although it takes a twit ( I'll be putting myself in their ultra smelly shoes .) to understand a twit , I have decided to do up a post on these amazing people .
Don't they ever get tired of adding on additional alphabets to words ? As in , can you imagine having to add in an extra "x" or "z" into a word ? It's as if they find words too short for their liking that they have to fill in extra alphabets of their choice . Perhaps , being chintzy , miserly people , they have come to a conclusion that if they do not make full use of the 160 letter limit in a text message , they would be letting their 5cents down and hence , their decision to put in more alphabets so that they may utilize ALL 160 letters .
Honestly , I think they're suckers . And really , really selfish beings . Because of them , people have to squint their eyes and place their eyes in all sorts of awkward positions just so that they can understand what they're trying to say . And because of this constant squinting and focusing , the lens gets abused and these people end up being short sighted screw ups . This results in parents having to drag their reluctant offsprings to the optometrist . BLOODY HELL and they think they're so cool screwing up people's eyesights . They must derive some kind of exhilarative thrill out of ruining other people's visions . What are they , sadists ? If "cool" is what they really want , I have one word of advice : get an air conditioner .
Nobody really wants to spend one whole fucking day trying to decipher what they're trying to say , really .
After much practice , I have finally discovered of a techinique that you can use in order to read what they trying - so desperately - to tell us !
1) Rub your eyes real hard and add a drop of eye drop to moisten your eyes .
2)Pick up a twit-ish text from any leading socializing website or grab a twit's handphone and read the text messages in her/his "sent items" box .
3)Put "Speed Reading" into good use by ignoring all the repetitive letters and place your own letters into any word ( that doesn't sound right) as you deem fit .
See , twit reading in three easy steps !

Disclaimer : This blogger shall not be liable if the readers still do not get what the twit is trying to say or if you get myopic despite following the technique .
Although twits do not describle ah lians/ ah bengs (aka ALAB) , most of the ALAB's that you can find would normally incorporate the use of such a language into their daily conversations . Hence , the twit language has thus become one major characteristic of the ALAB's .
It's really fascinating how a twit can understand a fellow twit but normal human beings like us can never understand them . Oh well .
