Pirates of the Caribbean 3: World’s End was goooooooooood *smug face*
The plot and the whole movie did sort of make up for the fact that we stood outside Greater Union in Innaloo for roughly 1 hour. Cheryl, Chester, Jian Yuan, Jian Yang, Kenneth, Matt (Jian Yuan’s friend) and me went to catch it on opening night. I’d already prebooked 5 tickets online, and even then we could not get into the cinema.
See, what happened was that Innaloo Megaplex had a power failure for 4 hours and screenings of the sessions before ours could not happen. We got there at like 8ish and we saw a whole crowd of people waiting outside. There was a notice stuck on the door that there was a power failure and that all sessions for the day could not be guaranteed or something along those lines.
So, we decided to move to Ace cinemas at Subi just so we could watch the movie. I was itching to watch it since we were already there and I really wanted to confirm my hunch that that witch lady in Pirates 2 was the one that hurt Davey Jones’ heart, since the heart locket was featured in the 2nd one, tucked away at the side of the table in the end scene. Anyways, my verdict on the whole thing was it was good. A tad bit long (168 minutes), but thankfully I did not get a popcorn and drink set to myself so I wasn’t bursting to pee by the middle of the movie.
It was heart breaking that Will could only see Elizabeth every 10 years. I could not imagine the pain involved not seeing the one you love for so long, not being able to communicate, not being able to touch, not being able to just hang out with each other. Sigh.
Anyways, what’s a post without pictures right? Teehee….OK, I’m good this time, I’m not putting up unflattering pictures 
We were waiting outside Innaloo when all these were taken.
Cheryl. Well, they didn’t have dinner so they went to get Hungry Jacks
Jian Yuan. This was so confusing, there were 2 JYs there, so I guess we’ll just have to differentiate them somehow
Jian Yang. The other JY
L-R: Cheryl and me
They were all eating burgers and all the veggies started dropping down on the ground. Was quite amusing to watch the pile of veggies grow bigger and wider as they all dropped the good stuff out 
I found this shot throughly amusing. She didn’t really vomit but Kenneth had the rubbish bag and the photo op was too good to resist
Poor Chester was so tired even before the movie started.
Was bored before work today, so out came the camera and these came from the ‘photo session’
Work was pretty quiet today, though I ended up having to sieve through something like 20 liters of cheesecake mix cause the whole thing was very very lumpy. Took hours and hours cause the thing was sooooo lumpy and there was just sooo much cheesecake mix! Yong dropped by today to get a cake again, must go question him tomorrow at chruch about how it tasted
Grandma’s going back home tomorrow but I didn’t manage to say goodbye to her cause I was working and everyone else was having dinner at Aunty’s place. Got off work early so Aunty Siew Lian could fetch us back instead of having Aunty to fetch us all the way back to my place.
Anyway, its roughly 3 weeks to exams and I’m starting to shiver in my PJs, both cause of the cold and the fact that I’ve got the things due this Thursday and that exams are so soon. I’ve got the rehab oral exam at 12.15pm, applied research presentation at 2pm, childhood and adolescence presentation at 3pm. Not to mention that I’ve got to study for the oral exam cause everyone is telling me its hard but then again, I think I know my stuff so I’m not that worried for that. It’s going to be a mad week ahead and I sure hope I survive with my head intact on my shoulders. Group meetings every single day till Thursday and studying every night…..Grrrrrrrr
3 weeks more to exams, 3 weeks of hard work, 3 weeks of sweat and it’ll all be over soon. So far I’ve kept up my average grade of a distinction, close to a high distinction, so I’m trying not to dip below that and if I get a high distinction for anything, that’ll be a bonus. *fingers crossed that things go well*
Feeling a bit pressured lately from all the various test and assignment results. Although I’ve put in loads of effort, I always get this scared feeling in me that I’ve failed or done badly. I know I shouldn’t be feeling that way when I know I’ve done the time and put in the effort but somehow or rather I always feel that I can do better. But then again, there really isn’t point in beating myself up about what comes out of things, cause what is done is done. Nothing I do can change it. Worrying about it certainly will not change the past and will definitely impact on the future. I suppose that’s one of the reasons how I stay focused during the exam period with one exam after another, I usually withdraw into my shell and block out everyone around me and give it my all. I block out all negative thoughts about the previous paper, block out all worry and concentrate on the next task at hand.
Come to think of it, I function well under pressure and when I’m alone. Then the situation pretty much forces me to concentrate 100% and get the thing done.
Oh, was funny cause I bumped into Zaneta on Friday while she was driving/investigating her shopping on Broadway while I was walking home on Friday. What was even funnier was that I was thinking about when I will finally get to bump into Zaneta driving around my neighbourhood and lo and behold I saw her car and was waving frantically at her I must have looked like an idiot, an idiot who was wearing a bright turquoise shirt too I might add
Anyway, went to dinner with Justin, Chester, JY and Cheryl at Bibik Chan’s on Stirling Highway. Must say, food there is pretty good and the sago pudding thing there was fantastic! I suspect I’ve put on weight since last week, but my excuse is that I’m PMS-ing and bloating up as we speak Anyway, Amanda called me while we were having dinner and convinced me to go to cell that night (I was beat from the back to back lab, group meeting, test, group meeting at uni) and I stayed till pretty late again. I suppose I can say I sort of deserve it cause I’ve busted my ass working and studying so hard Anyways, we were talking about birthright this week, the story of Jacob and Esau (Genesis 25, Hebrews 12:16). I’m very impressed that there are so many things you can garner from just one small bit of the bible and how it can relate to us in our everyday lives. Studying the bible is a great source of joy cause I learn about something new each time and I don’t think I can ever get sick of it.
Cell was at Joe’s house this week, and after cell the boys got hungry so Cheryl decided to make some pasta (must say you are ingenious ) for the hungry boys. Think this was at like 10ish and we finished by like 11ish Now I’ve definitely learnt how to make Cheryl’s version of pasta…hehe….I’m so going to try it soon! Man, those guys can eat. If only I can eat so much and not put on weight, but I have this theory that every time I just smell food, I put on weight….Hurrrr.
Too much deep thought for tonight, brain is starting to fry. Must go bed and recharge brain power.
