The Holidays

Its almost over now. Never thought it would be this quick. Yeah, sure i knew it would be over sooner than i expected but this quick??.wow. Well, it has been kinda eventful. Loads of movies as you might've guessed by the earlier post, football, and yeah outings. The best part of it all was catching up with those people whom you dont often see. I met up with a couple of my secondary schoolmates. We talked, and talked and talked..On one occasion, i came home round 2, and that got my dad pissed. Well, it was my fault really. I didnt actually inform them earlier, but hey i tried. I did send a message and called, but they didnt get it. I am suppose to be grounded today. I am planning to go for the christmas countdown at the Portugese Settlement, dad initially said no, but as usual gave in. So its all good. Anyways, i hope all of you are having loads of fun this hols. K, i'm gonna end it here. Countdown awaits.=p

Driving Nightmare..

Yeah, i was excited. I mean, it was my first lesson. The instructor came round 9. He kept giving me instructions on the way to the circuit. Or at least that's what i thought. We were like, 2 minutes away from the school when he pulled over by the roadside and got out, and told me to take the wheel. ME!! Heck, i had only ever been to the circuit once, what more the road. I was calm though, knowing that it would be over in like a mintue or two. I mean, the school was just a minute away after all. Everything was going well as we approached the school, till he said, 'pergi terus!'. Now that's where i got really scared. Shit scared. So i'm here thinking to myself, 'i'm too young to die!' and i look at him, and he's smiling..SMILING!!.You know those stories you hear where a person sees he's life flashing before his eyes, i had that! Literally! Cars were all over i tell you, and it seemed i was going to crash into one of them anytime. I drove for like 40 minutes before we headed back to the school. Practiced a bit on the circuit and i was good to go. I had never felt more grateful to get back home. Its all going to happen again though..Monday, 3 pm..

Movies Galore!!!

I think i'll be putting up more posts now seeing as it is the holidays...And i spent the first week of it with movies! Loads of em!! At the cinema, and at home with our trusted brand of pirate products. I thought, hey it would be a great idea to come up with my very own movie review. So here goes....Quarantine: Does provide the typical scare that people often look for in horror films. The kind that makes you jump out of your seat screaming. So yeah, its good. The whole movie is shot in real-time, as in using a video recorder. It's basically about people becoming infected with rabies and turning into flesh eating animals. Gory killings, decapitated bodies and loads, i mean LOADS of blood dominate most of the movie, giving it an 'A' rating. Twilight: After all the anticipation, i have to say, the movie did not deliver. It was slow and painful. While it would be a good movie for romantics to enjoy, the average movie lover, would despise it. The lack of good action scenes(mind you, there was only a very brief one), makes this movie simply, boring. It deserves a 'D'. Varanam Aiyaram, my very first tamil movie in a theatre: It was good, really good. Diverging away from the typical tamil movie stigma of fighting and lovers running around trees, the movie focuses on a father-son relationship played by the same person. Good script and genuine acting makes this movie an enjoyable one. Happy watching!!
