/ My Excerpts.

I realised how people change so fast.

I had nothing to do a few hours ago and decided to hunt for primary school friend's pictures and blogs.

One word to represent my reaction after looking at some photos/blogs.

OMFGZWTHBBQ!


Ok, that isn't literally one word, but that was my reaction!

People change I guess. Some looks happier in new uniforms. Some complete change from the good girl to the bad girl. Totally.

Oh well. Ok I talk more after PTC tomorrow. Bye =D

  1. Zac Efron as Troy Bolton
  2. Vanessa Anne Hudgens as Gabriella Montez
  3. Ashley Tisdale as Sharpay Evans
  4. Lucas Grabeel as Ryan Evans
  5. Corbin Bleu as Chad Danforth
  6. Monique Coleman as Taylor McKessie
  7. Olesya Rulin as Kelsi Nielsen
  8. Matt Prokop as Jimmie Zara newcomer
  9. Jemma McKenzie-Brown as Tiara Gold newcomer





Synopsis: Being in their senior year, the Wildcats face one of the greatest challenge in life, seperation after years together. The first scene started off with a zoomed up of Troy Bolton. He was panting as the clock for the first half of the match was ticking. For the second half of the match, they were high spirited.

During the preparation of the Senior Year Spring Musical, where seniors and more had to perform a musical about their life in the senior year. But before the musical started, Gabriella was offered early orientation at Stanford University. Will she leave for this one-in-a-lifetime opportunity at Stanford University or will she finish the dance she started at East High? Stay tuned.

This movie is filled with songs, dance, laughter, and happiness, but it also has its twist of dilemma and depression. Compared to the two of its predecessors, this movie is less predictable and has more elements of betrayal and mistrust, and of course, their main problem, seperation.




Response: Personally, I think that the original was much better than this movie. Although this movie is different compared to its predecessors, it was filled with loopholes and characters that does not make an impact in the storyline, making them completely redundant. The songs in this movie too has not been on par compared to its predecessors.

Characters such as the newcomers Tiara and Jimmie has totally redundant to the storyline. Tiara is like a 2nd-class Sharpay who seems much nicer. But somehow the actress doesn't seem bitchy enough. I'm not sure if that's a good thing. And Jimmie, on the other hand, seems like an imitation of Troy. He has that lunkhead basketball hairstyle and is probably going to be the captain of the team next year. His only main point is that he replaced Troy when he wasn't there and that Sharpay was pissed off. That's all.

The song, I Want It All performed by Ryan and Sharpay has elements of Stick to the Status Quo and Fabulous. It has more of that theatre song rather than a catchy song. Infact, most of the songs in this movie are ballads or theatre and not for you to tap your feet to.

But on the other hands, remaking a ballad version of We're All In This Together is not such a bad thing and its quite pleasing to the ears. The final song, named High School Musical is one of the, if not the most, nicest song in the movie.

Of course, some ballads are great, like Can I Have This Dance, and Just Wanna Be With You, and Right Here, Right Now. It is refreshing to hear these ballads rather than the usual ones you hear.

But overall, this movie is rather refreshing and different from High School Musical 1 and 2. It is based on a rather touching storyline, especially for me.

Rate: 3/5.
Favourite Song: High School Musical, Just Wanna Be With You, Now Or Never.
Favourite Quote:
Ryan: (choreographing) Just hold her hand like this and turn.
Troy: Man, you're much easier to dance with than she is.
Favourite Actor: Kelsi Nielsen! She's da best!

Hey people.

Was too tired yesterday. Hence, didn't update. Haha. Went to library after school yesterday with Jenny to read up more on photoshop (?). I know it's dumb but we had too much time. Hahaha.

Ok today! Woke up and 8 am and left house at 9. Haha. Met Suqi, and Christabel then decided to go to the earliest HSM screening, which is at 11.00 at AMKhub. -.- Even the escalators not switched on when we bought tickets, at about 9.45. We were like the first patron they had. Haha. Ok then after buying tickets, we went to eat at Macs. Haha. I realised for the past few days, when Christabel can't finish her food, she'll give it to me. Haha. I feel like her dog, Lucky. Lol. Ok then at around 10.45 we went back up to the cinema and bought popcorns and settled down. Yay! Today's special is that we had a special HSM3 cup and paper bag. Look at the pictures below!





Haha! A damn nice collectible! Ok so watched the movie.

This time round, the storyline is not so predictable as HSM1 and HSM2. But I think the songs very unoriginal and very erm, nauseating? Almost all the songs are very similar to another song. Ok I shall write a true movie review later. Like how I used to write for HabboLitez. Haha. Both HSM reviews were written by me back then.

Ok my lips someone became very painful after eating like alot of salted popcorn. Yeah. It wass so bad till there as 2 colors. Oh well. I think like salt is acid right? Meaning it's acidic. And the skincare professional got say that our skin is alkali rather than acidic. So maybe it caused my lips to turn from pH 5.5 to pH 8 or something. HAHA ok kidding.

Ok after the movie, we decided to go to bugis to shop. Although me and Christabel were out of $$. We walked around, then we bumped into Christabel's friends, then we walked some more then bumped into Joey and Leandra! When I first saw them Leandra tackled me sia. I was like O_O!

Haha, then talked for awhile then continue to walk walk. Then we went to National Library to read. The feeling is damn different than AMK library or Bishan Library. It was bigger, and hence, quieter than other libraries. So we sat there reading till it's time to go back. Haha. We took the train to Raffles Place than took the train to Marina Bay to get a seat. I was hoping to get a seat all the way till Admiralty but the train we were on stopped at Yishun! -____-.

So I alighted at YCK with Suqi and Christabel lor.

Haha. Oh YEAH. I forgot to mention one funny moment at the cinema. There was one scene where Troy threw his phone and it rolled on the bed and fell on the floor. The whole cinema went like *Gasps!* or *OMG!* or *Insert Shocking effect here*. Haha yeah. That was damn funny.

Ok readers, watch out for a full review of HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3: Senior Year before watching it, alright!

Hey people,

Ahh. Today woke up late! Was late for band. >.< I never been so late for band in my entire band life. Haha.

Ok while sitting and enjoying the sounds of the woodwind, I thought of something while staring at the array of colorful t-shirts the woodwinds were wearing.

I thought, what if the color green was actually blue?

Ok, what if everyone has a different perspective of different color. Let's say the banner on my blog is blue. But it's actually green but since people said its blue, we assumed its blue. So what if everyone has different color spectrums in their eyes. Maybe some people have negative eyesight *so cool*. Elias once told me he was sephia colorblind. I was like, "OMGZ SO COOL!" Haha. Ok anyway, you ever thought that if what see things isn't what others see it?

This whole colour thing proves that. What you think of something might not be the truth, neither can it be what others believe.

So yeah, think of it. Don't just follow others blindly. Have your own stand.

Ok anyway, tomorrow is the last day of school OMGz!

It'll be End Of Year dedication service tomorrow. I'm sure tears will flow. It's Mrs Tan's last day. And my last day in OneDee08. OneDee has been a big impact on my life. I realised how the world is like. How real is life. How many times you can be backstabbed. How life is not just floating on clouds. I used to think that I'm levitating. But now, I can feel myself on the cold ground, being vulnerable to any attacks. Thank you for making me stronger.

All you got to keep is strong,


Stay strong.

Anyway, here are activities coming up in the holidays.

  1. Homestay.
  2. Band practices. *yay*
  3. Zion sessions. (?)
  4. Council outings *hopefully*
  5. Council camp *yaaaaaay!!!*
  6. Attending SingOut!
  7. Guitar course!! *OMGz!!!*
  8. Next year's Sec 1 Orientation! *Can't wait for juniors!*


Ahh pretty filled up but yeah, it'll be fun. Hopefully.

Ok time flies. Goodbye people.

Hey people.

Feeling tired nowadays, hence the lack of post. Haha, never mind, keep patronising my blog alright. Visit my advertised stuff too. =D

Ok let's start from yesterday.



YESTERDAY! Went Lower Pierce with class for outing. Took many many nice photos! check it out on my photobucket. =)

It was a great time camwhoring with CCHER and Suqi!

Had band yesterday. REALLY MAN. One of the GREATEST session in the whole of my band life. We had to be confine to the band room due to O Levels, so we did combine practice instead of sectionals *thank God*. So Mr Tan divided us into groups to see how good do we communicate with the rest of the band. I was in Group 1, same group as Rayner (clarinet), Khidhir (Tenor Sax), Wei Chen (Trumpet), Qian Nee (Clarinet), Carmen (Flute), XueTing (clarinet), and of course, me on the Timpani =D

Then we had to play Danse Diabolique without Mr Tan conducting. It was damn cool luh, Although it feels weird because I'm too used to depending on Tuba, Trombone, Baritone Sax and Bassoon to give me the cue.

It was fun! Then we had a break and we went to play To Challenge The Heavens and Sky Above. T_T I DONT LIKE THAT SONG!!! Ahh.

Ok nvm. End of the day.

Haha. Today!

Went tuition with CCHER! The tuition not bad. Haha.

Haizxczx, Life. Life. Life.

Today I shall talk about my beautiful Saturday.

Usually, Saturdays will be booked by Band practices, etc. But today, the Band Committee called it off because Sec2s needed rest. Yippee!

So mom and dad brought us to Northpoint to eat Delifrance. Wow. It seems like forever since I ate at Delifrance.

And *coughcough* I shan't say much.

Then went home to take wallet then left to meet Victor and Suqi.

We went to Plaza Singapura to walk walk and there's no movie to watch anyway. So check out the massive music stores there.

OhMaGawsh, I feel like buying that flute/sax sia. But I can't even afford the mouthpiece can. -_- The only thing that I could buy there was a baton and a soprano recorder, which I already have. Oh well. Time to save up for recession.

Then we checked out guitar/sax/flute/drums courses. I begged my mom, but she didn't allow me to take such music courses. =( Parents are not supportive of my musical dream I guess, oh well, nothing I can do.

Ok after Suqi and Victor almost die of boredom, then we went to Victor's house to play XBOX. His games were interesting. I made him fell in love with Harry Potter GOF which me and YongCheng used to play. Haha.

Ok then at about 8, I reached home and parents going out again. -.- So followed them to somewhere near Lau Pat Sat or Rendezvous or something to eat. The food was horrible althouh the place was breezy. Oh well, didn't feel so good.

So after we headed home, we finally reached home at about 12? Haha.

Ok I think my passion for band is growing stronger and stronger. (:

HEYLo!

Today I went out with the Malay peepos for Hari Raya. Haha. Was a great day!

Anyway, life's been great, but busy till I didnt have enough time to blog.

Past few days I had the Foreign Programme. No, I am NOT foreign. I was just a temporary NE ambassador. Went to SG flyer, Henderson Waves, Hort Park, etc. We concluded with a barbeque in school. Alumni that I met, Meng Zhou, Chong Zheng, Immanuel Oh (councillors, familliar surname =P), Laurel, Shi Jian, Joren, etc!

Of course, there are foreign and NE seniors I met along the way, like Marilyn, Shiyun, Hendra, Hendry, Edward, Glendon, Johnny, Myint, Anathesia Olivia P. (OneDee, familliar surname? xP), and many many more!!!

It has been a really great experience for me. We got ot know each other MUCH better now. And of course, it has enriched me with more knowledge of SG. It is not just a city that you see, it is way beyond that.

I will find time to upload my photos k. xD

Ok I shall sleep now. I'm feeling tired. Probably update again tmr or sooner or later.

Haha. I used to use the excuse of my exams, then now i'm using the excuse of my boring life. Okay lah, I'm lying. My life is not boring and it's been really happening for the past few days.



7th Council (Secondary Ones!) went SENTOSA! It was freaking fun there man. I'm looking forward to many many more outings. (:

Ok here's what happened at first.

I went to 'pick up' Vivien at Sembawang MRT then we trained. I stopped at AMK to buy First Aid stuff and a beach volleyball. While Vivien went to eat brunch with Valere and Christabel at Junction8. Then after I met them, I bought Macs, and we trained till Dhouby Ghaut there. Haha, they were talking about swimming, obviously something that I don't do. HAHA.

Ok then we changed train to Purple Line. To tell you the truth, I have never boarded a NEL train before. So was rather excited till I hit my head against the thingy on the wall. Haha. I know. It's stupid. -.-

Ok then we met Gerald at Habourfront MRT, coz he was from hougang, so straight MRT. Ok then waited for Agnes and we left for Sentosa!

We had lots of fun at Sentosa.

We went to Pahlawan beach, then to the island, then to play luge! OMGz so freaking fun. Haha. I want it again!
