AWWW. i went to watch eragon with twin tower today. I was SO disappointed. i kept going on and on about how the book is way better-thanks for putting up with me, twin tower! (: i mean everyone said it was lousy, but THIS lousy? man i didn't expect it. I thus prove that you should always watch a movie before reading the book cos 10 out of 10 times i've been disappointed by the movie version of a awesome book i've read. like this time. the movie totally didn't do any justice to christopher paolini's book. it didn't capture any of the magic or any ESSENCE that was the basis of the book, and that made the book so FABULOUS. ): yes, i am VERY disappointed. they condensed it so much that it was so confusing. and throughout the show, esther only caught one name-eragon. And they didn't even intro Orik or show isidar mithrim which i wanted to see): and angela the herbalist didn't even tell his fortune properly. and what about Katrina?? okay fine if they put all the details in it would be way too long, but even so.. then they can't make eldest properly if ever they decide to. and the whole thing happened in 2DAYS. how did eragon learn magic?? and learn how to fight? you cant kill a shade after just losing to Brom. seriously.
so disappointed, so disappointed. so disappointing.
really.
dont read the book until you've watched the movie-so you wont be disappointed.
the only thing right was that Arya was pretty enough. even then, hello! in the book, she only revealed her identity as princess in ELDEST. and they never mentioned she was an elf. gosh.
leave out all the neccessary details yeah?
but Saphira was quite well done. but HEY!! saphira is the name of Brom's dragon!! she chose the name when eragon asked her, after hearing it from Brom. She didn't just pop up and say, i'm saphira. and they totally didnt explain the gëdwey ignasia. ):
you see what i mean about i went on and on??
dont watch movies with me unless they're critiqued to be super good and definitely not based on books. :D well i dont blame the producers since its super hard to produce a good movie from a totally excellent book. i highly doubt i could have done anywhere as good as that. just saying that i personally dont like the movie. So please dont sue me okay? thanks. (:
okay okay i shall go now.
my recommendation is to READ ERAGON AND ELDEST. but you can watch it too if you want. please dont sue me producers. its my personal opinion.
thank you and have a nice day(:

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
you know, its Christmas today, i shouldn't be on the COMPUTER. what am i doing here anyway? --.oh thats right- I'M TRYING TO ESCAPE THE CRAZY ZOO THAT YESTERDAY WAS MY HOUSE.
heh heh christmas stress. seriously. i was rudely awakened at 7 am (after sleeping at 2) by the sound of POTS falling and a shrill scream from my aunt, about a cockroach that turned out to be DUST.
so i drag myself out of bed, seeing as its IMPOSIBLE to go back to sleep, and then i bang into my aunt who fairly shrieks, "HURRY HURRY!! GOT ALOT TO DO!" so i hurry, thinking of tonight's gathering and enter the kitchen to see my dad calmly drinking coffee and my aunt standing next to him, panicking. (my mom went to help get ready the stuff for church lunch which i am not going for) and i sigh and sit down to eat breakfast-until i get chased out for my aunt to "arrange the cutlery" ??? and from my room for my dad to move all the unneccessary furniture from the hall and believe me, you dont want to know about the hall.
so i peacefully come to the computer, seeing as nobody wishes to tell me HOW i can help and i sit here and check emails, post and send ecards to people in India. sigh. My dysfunctional family christmas(:
haha. anyway. enough about my morning. i've just read "eldest" again and i realise how much i actually LOVE the series. its one(two) of the best books i've read in awhile. too bad i cant write like that. ): oh well. anyway, if you haven't read it, DO! eragon and eldest. books 1 and 2 of the Inheritance trilogy by Christopher Paolini. He hasn't written the 3rd one yet, or i would have read it. :D
HARK! i hear a call from my panicky aunt-hang on-whew. she only wanted me to wipe the forks. (and spoons) yesterday she wanted me to stand on the kitchen counter and tell her if the table was straight?!?! seriously. anyway...carmen met her. yeah she came with me when i went to send carmen off on sat. she's a very interesting lady(:
yes, so where was i? oh read those books OKAY?? (: haha. i havent watched the movie, but i dont have much faith in movies based on books. Hope this one can change my mind. :D
AHAHAH!! i have found something HELPFUL to do! i shall change the curtains! (: haha okay then. this has been interesting! MERRY CHRISTMAS again and HAPPY NEW YEAR in case i dont post before then!
and GOD BLESS!
torn-half on, half off. People start to hate, to despise, to discriminate. Nobody gets what they deserve.

whoa its been awhile since i came here. i've been to india and back-for those of you who are either very blur or have been living under a rock.
i dont really feel like talking about my trip for reasons unknown to me (and hence to you), so all i shall say is that it was really awesome and great and i have no idea why i came back. (: i would have preferred not to, really. i'm sure all of you know how much i love india, so no surprise yeah? :D i guess i'm back for all of YOU, singaporeans. so APPRECIATE IT!
haha. haven't really been feeling myself lately. like ystd. i was being so weird to someone
on msn. i was like freaking out and acting so wierdly but trying to sound normal and it just sounded like i was a weirdo. and i felt so stupid.
i think its thinking about
you-know-who. i've got alot to think about and its all very confusing. since i've been back. thankfully, just when i thought i couldn't take it anymore, God sends Carmen with that word and her lovely personality to make it temporarily better. And i know i can confide in her..i just don't know how. i hope i can be ready soon, because alot depends on it.
anyway...its Christmas on Monday. i'm feeling very excited actually. for once. i cant wait to see david, mala and ashley. (cousin, wife and daughter) i guess i got attached to them during those 2 weeks i stayed with them in india. haha i miss ashleys nonsensical sentences and expressions of love. she's really sweet (she's two), she'll just come and hug your legs and say "ashley loves
aka (tamil for elder sister)"
and she's also absoloutely in love with Harry Potter. as in, daniel radcliffe. HAHA. she'll say "wanna carry harry potter" and like at some random part of the day, "wanna see harry potter" . (: mala is prepared for a intellectual son-in-law. (: (like David she claims).. well it certainly doesn't run in the family!
haha i've ended up talking about my trip after all. and i feel happier. sigh. its so confusing.
what is?
everything.
what can you do?
nothing. just trust in God.
and thats what you should do.
i know. but why does it seem so difficult?
i cant answer that. can you?
this was supposed to be a happy post, but i dont know what happened. what do YOU think? you have no clue, right?
that's what my life feels like.
when everything seemed fine, you turned it around again, turned it around, sent me spinning. You give me hope that comes with hurt, dreams that come with pain, and everything i didn't need. But i love it. and i love you. so help me.
