anyways. lets talk about monday haha. met up with my frolick mate, lovely friend and good sister yin san!! haha. we went on LOGOs HOPE the ship and supposedly world's largest book fair on a ship!! haha at first when she told me i was like.. i think you meant shop.. but it really was a ship!! haha even dongsang was like whatttt!! when i told her on sunday haha :) anyways it was like raining all day. we had to use an umbrella to shelter ourselve from vivo to the ship haha.super slippery and its like... my spped slowed down by... 3/4 haha i didn't want to fall so yeah. anyways, it was quite cool to have been there. the books are really not bad. but what i don't understand is why do they even have a section called 'hannah montana' like... is she really that famous?? haha they go by units to determine the prize. 100 units is equivalent to $4 haha so you do the maths :) after that we left for dinner. thankfully we manage to reach carls junior early so we avoided the dinner crowd haha. my burger was seriously bigger and cheaper than yin san's haha. but i was fun. her a sauce lover. me not really anti sauce. but if given a choice. original flavour. haha. but there are exceptions like sashimi of course haha xp. we practically spend like an hour deciding on what movie to watch. too bad we were not fated to watch new year's eve :( but we manage to fly down to dhoby in time to watch alvin and the chipmunks 3. haha. current;y still floating in theodore world.
ain't he adorable!! <3
i like eleanor too!! awwww haha. throughout the entrie movie, it made me love theodore more and more. alvin is oki. brittany too. haha. but i don't mind simon/ simone haha or jeanette :) i love the part where theodore gave dave the necklace. haha it has all colours so it goes with everything and then its soft to sleep on. awww really touching. haha . it was a good show. no a must watch but if you're feeling down. you can watch it. it'll leave you laughing all the way with smiles :) oh man now i think chipmunk versions of songs are nice to listen to!! haha :) oki that's for with yin san.
yesterday i went to the art/science museum with bestie haha went to see the titanic exhibition. it was totally an impromptu suggestion. haha. but it was cool. cause we got to see what the divers saw. the submarine submerging took about 12-15 hours. they also sent two bots. elwood and jake. haha elwood got stuck in one of the expeditions and the trip became from exploring the titanic to saving elwood haha they were playing 'the two of us' at the background. this expedition was really an eye-opener. but i marvel at how the crew (which consisted of people from various walks of life i.e microbiologist, journalist etc) manage to piece together what they saw. as in.. i cannot tell which deck they were looking through i you minus away all the graphics and comparision to the movie scenes they showed > < i'm surprised at the intricate pattern and the extent to which the windows.. namely the glassware is still intact. one piece and the colour is still there. i supposed stained glassware is long lasting haha. the video lasted for an hour. but it really brought me deep into the depths of the titanic. haha.
the exhibition was mapped out in such a way that it would bring you to different decks of the ship. starting from the 1st class to the boiler room. haha we were given this 'boarding pass' with names of true characters on it. when we reached the end of the exhibit, there would be this long list of names, categorised by the class. you can check if 'you' survived or not haha. i did. cause i was travelling first class with my maid lol bestie died. but his wife and children survived. the two friends that came with him died too haha. from the exhibit, you could see the vast difference in treatment. even a third class water dispenser and a 1st class one has like a major distinction!! especially in design. the china ware and pattern are all different. haha. the boiler room was cool too :) could feel the heat haha. and then we saw the 'iceberg' which literally was this giant ice structure haha :) nice nice. anyways, it was a good experience.
some fun facts about titanic:
full name: rms titanic.
according to the net, rms stood for 'royal mail ship'
owner: white star line
what caused this unsinkable ship to sink: collision of an iceberg, 37secs after the berg came into view.
Captain: captain smith. aged 62. this was his last voyage before retirement--a promise he made to his wife and daughter.
Musicians: a small emsemble played music to calm down the atmosphere outting their lives in danger as everyone was getting into lifeboats to evacuate.. right in front of them.
Unsung heroes: the captain never abandoned his ship. people who worked frantically to send out wireless signals for sos. people in the boiler room. people in the engine room.
Cause of deaths of 1,514 passengers: not enough lifeboats. a supposedly 32 would be enough but it was cut down to 20. this caused grief and regret to mr Andrews would was the designer of the ship. as he did not fight hard enough to push for the remaining 12 lifeboats to be kept they.
welll... it was a tragedy then. haha. but i had fun for around 5 consecutive days. resutls would be out tmr!!! like... seriously tmr!!! =S haha.
anyways, i have been getting flashbacks.. just certain memory spots coming out.. hmm.. been a while since that happened. i guess.. some parts would always be there. i still don't know how to react. so i hope the situation i dread does not occur cause till now i don't think i'd know how to handle it. yupyup. that's about all folks. haha.
1 more day.... shiver me timbles.
=do something right=
cause right now i'm still not ready to meet you.
