these days

i looked through my past blog posts yesterday and i realised that i have been talking about many specific things for many posts now. have not really update you all abut what's happening in my daily post-NS pre-NUS life. well, so here i am updating you all.

probably mentioned before, i am looking forward to tomorrow's Monday morning for one reason.. season 4 of "Game Of Thrones" will be available online. been waiting for an odd one year or so for this show to come back on. really can't wait for it. this is actually like an English version of "San Guo Yan Yi" just with more lust and gore i guess.

next, i have a new student couple of weeks back with the worst result i've seen so far among the ones i teach. don't get me wrong, i am just really worried for him and really really want to put in my best to push those marks up for his PSLE in September this year. he has a lot of basic concepts and knowledge missed out.. so it feels like i have to teach those stuff from P1 to P6 in like half a year. glad for the patience i have and the love to help. minor self-praise there.

regarding NUS life, i have been rejected by a scholarship program but still crossing my fingers on some application. as for hostel, i have yet to read up and decide exactly where should i choose to live. NUS is 90 minutes of public transport journey from my doorstep.. with taxi maybe 40 minutes. still, too long.. i really want to stay in the hostel there.. at least the trip to my school building is just about 15-20 minutes.

alright.. that's all for now.. i'm a football fan of Arsenal and Real Madrid. and now an Arsenal match is one the way.. haha.

talk shows

it all started from secondary school i would say. i was introduced to a stand-up comedian who i known as Russell Peters. well some of you might have heard of or know him. he is well-known for his ever racist and sexist jokes. pretty loud and daring comedian too.. not for those innocent minds who cannot take sick jokes. if you need an image of him, here he is..

then i moved on to hunt for real good stand-up comedian. i followed Ray William Johnson on YouTube and from there i found another one who is known as Fluffy.. or his real name, Gabriel Iglesias. he prefer fat jokes and is really good at changing his voice to imitate anyone he has in mind. his jokes aren't sick but still as good and as funny. here is his chubby figure..

so two main stand-up comedians that i really follow and like since secondary school and then somehow in on way or another, i moved on to see and get interested into talk shows. now, through YouTube, i am entertained almost on a daily basis by Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Ellen. the next three pictures are of them in the same order.

soon i realised, on top of getting entertained, i too get to know what's happening around the world in a more fun way. okay, yes news from the internet let me know too but through talk shows like these, they are different. you get to see what are the various views and parodies and jokes made from the news and what not. another bonus would be occasionally viewing your idols, be they are singers or what not, on the shows just talking.. random talking to the hosts. so yeah, can be really interesting.

these talk shows are what bring me through the mundane weekday routines of my real life from army to now and in the future. if you have yet to watch a stand-up comedy or an entertainment talk show, i suggest you should try. really mood lightening.

the generation before

ever wondered what the generation before us tend to listen to and watch in the cinemas and what not?

in recent years there are numerous songs made for movies.. "New Divide" performed by Linkin' Park for the movie "Transformers 2" and "Let It Go" for the movie "Frozen" are some of the many examples. easy to get english songs since we watch way more english movies than chinese ones i'm sure. however, let's see one from a chinese song which is from an 80s movie.

if you are curious, you could probably ask your parents about this song and movie. from what i heard, my parents once told be this song with the movie can bring one to tears. ohh well, i never watched the movie but i heard of this song a couple of times. read the lyrics if you can.. and enjoy.
