Silent Hill

Yesterday was an armegaddon for me and my teammates. We met up with our client and it was disastrous. They asked us to do so many things while we do not even know if we have the abilities to do all those things that they have requested. But still, we have to try...

After our meeting, may, kt and I decided to ask daph and kh to go and watch a movie, Silent Hill. Its so funny... I have not watched so much movies consecutively for my entire life... So far, I have watched Da Vinic Code, X-Men 3, She's The Man, The Omen and Silent Hill. Five movies in less than 2 months!!! Wow, you can imagine all my pay was spent on movies @_@!

After deciding where to watch and asking daph and kh to buy the tickets first (since they are ALWAYS at orchard road when we called them), we agreed to watch it at PS. When we were out of our client's building, we wanted to take a photo of us with the KUMON banner. But kh suddenly called and I have to pick up his call -_-" In the end, we were taking photo of ourselves while waiting for the traffic light -_-" The people beside us thought we tourist or what sia...lol...

When we were at PS, they were having a show where Barney was supposed to come out. But the host keeps on bluffing us, we waited for like a few minutes and Barney was still no where in sight! Finally Barney came out and all of us were like trying to take photo of it. Lol. KH even asked us to try and hug it... Hello? You got see people rush up the stage and hug barney anot? -_-" He tried to take a photo of barney but the quality was not good enough. So I used my phone and help him take Barney's photo, then sent him through Infrared...

After that we went to McDonald's to have our dinner. While KH and I were queuing, when it was kh turn, he went and pick up the mini hourglass and shook it! -_-""" Hoping that the sand would drop down faster so that he can have a free ice-cream. But the cashier came back and saw it, so she was giving a face like dunno whether to laugh or be angry. Lol. So when it was my turn, the cashier use a BIGGER hourglass for my order! -_-" It was all Mr Ong's fault!!! Who ask him go and play with the mini one then the cashier scared already, so went and use the bigger one... Then when the cashier go and take the food, KH go and change the big one to the smaller hourglass! LOL!!! So when the cashier came out, she was like, 'eh? I thought I used the bigger one, how come it become so small and the time was up already.' Then she look at us and KH, lol dunno why confessed. haha... So the cashier asked us, 'You all really want the free ice-cream is it?! I can give it to you all you know.' Haha but dunno why, KH and I never take the free ice-cream coupons, maybe we were embrassed or something. We just said, 'Its ok, we were just playing only.' Or something like that...haha. So we eat our dinner at mac, with the unknown 'live' band playing not far from us. Dunno why got live band also, and KH said that they sucks...lol

After eating finished, we were bored so May decided to play poker cards. Strange but true, the people from mac never scold us and tell us that it was not allowed to play there. haha. maybe we were like sitting in the corner and was covered by the walls. They played Big 2 for awhile until May asked KH to teach us how to play Bridge. Boy was that game confusing! Too many rules and too many tricks...lol... Finally after KH patiently taught us and almost banging his head against the wall(haha...thanks to daph =p~), we were starting to get the hang of it and played a few rounds, and I always lost in that few rounds -_-"

So the time came when our movie was starting, lol I know, so long then the show starts. That's because it was 6 plus when we reached PS and the show starts at 9.20pm. At 9.19pm, all of us wanted to buy ice-cream to eat -_-" but all of us also wanted to go to the toilet -_-"" haha so we decided to go to the toilet first then go and buy ice-cream from...was it "Anderson"? Kinda forgotten the name already. Dunno why, but the girls wanted to go level 2's toilet... Dunno if the toilets there have better atmospheric environment for them to erm... do their businesses. So after going to the toilet, it was already 9.30pm -_-" and we were still deciding whether to buy ice-cream anot. Deciding half way, May and KT saw their friend walk pass, say hi, then talk about their friend. So I was like, 'Eh hello!?!?! ICE-CREAM and SILENT HILL?!?!'. Lol... then they were like oh ya... -_-" So we decided to go Anderson, and it was like 9.35pm -_-"" When we went down to buy our ice-cream, there was a poster that students have 10% discount. So May and I bought our ice-cream with free toppings,lol. After that, when KT wanted to buy, she saw another posters that say 15% discount for those with GV tickets o.O So we asked the staffs if we can refund abit of our money since we have the GV tickets...lol. But they said the reciepts have keyed in already so cannot refund -_- And KH were like so to buy ice-cream... when we went to Anderson, he looked at the ice-cream, then told me, 'I dun wanna buy liao, wanna saved money.' -_- haha luckily all the girls 'persuade' him to buy... lol i guess no flava oso must choose one flava. Oh I knock my finger on the glass while pointing my friend asking her to buy... PAIN!

After that we rushed up. When we arrived in the cinema, there were still commercials showing. Phew, luckily we didnt missed the beginning. When we settle down, that's when the show starts. haha great timing, spent all those commercial times on buying ice-cream, hmm quite worth it.

Silent Hill is about a couple who adopted a girl from an orphange. The girl always sleepwalks and talks about a place called 'Silent Hill'. She even draws pictures of very evil things. So one day the mother decided to bring her daughter to find that place because her sleepwalking is getting more serious. They found the place only to hit a 'girl' while driving and met an accident. The mother was unconsious while her daughter dissappeared. When the mother woke up, she couldn't find her daughter and started to panick. She went into Silent Hill and that's when eery things started to happend...

Dunno why, but nowadays, all these movies always reminds me of previous movies that I have watched. Like how the death of the people in The Omen is related to Final Destination 3(thanks daph, for telling me this), Silent Hill also has some resemblance of other movies. During the last part of the show where the girl(dunno if her name was elisa or something) raises up from hell with a bed full of barbe wire. She uses the barbe wire and started to kill everyone inside the church, it really looks like the movie Carrie. I dunno if you remember, but Carrie was an Cult horror movie where the girl name Carrie has a telekenisis (or telepathy?) power. Her friends all make fun of her and thus she burned the whole school including her friends. I dunno why but it reminds me of that.

The show wasnt really scary but at least the story is much better than The Omen. And the thrilling part was better than The Omen. However, the ending was weird. In the end, both the daughter and her mother was dead already when they met that accident I think. So it was kinda sad for me that her mother work so hard to rescue her daughter only to find that she cant reunite with her husband and her husband can sense her presence but cant see her. There's also something wrong with her daugther when although her mother asked her to close her eyes and not open it, she still open and saw the demon which she shldnt see.

Well that's all for now... Cya!

The Omen

Watch The Omen with a bunch of friends today.

Before I watched the show, I was like... "er, I'm developing mild heart attack... Please dun ask me watch."

But after watching it, I was like... "WTH?!?! Like that only ah?!?!"

L.O.L

Basically the show was not really very scary, I even almost fell asleep... Except for the part where the ferocious hounds suddenly came out of nowhere, and started to bite the main actor. It gave me a shock and I was immediately wide awake O.O"... Then there's the part where the nanny suddenly jumped onto the main actor out of nowhere (again!)... It also gave me quite a shock. Other then these two parts, there isnt much things to talk abt already...

Oh the ending SUX big time also... I dunno about you guys but that's how I think.
Maybe Silent Hill's better than this show...

Oh and one more thing, the killing part of The Omen really looks like Final Destination, where everyone is predestined to die and of horrifying death. Before I'm scared to death, I think I'm blast to death by the speakers -_-"

Well that's all I want to say, nothing to talk about much anyway...
