2 steps forward, 1 step back~

the Email finally came to announce our way overdue promotion from Private to Lance Corporal after being in the Army for more than a year now. We were supposed to be LCP since May but due to whatever processing delay, we only got it 2 mths later...

better late than never i suppose~

Went to my 10 year high school anniversary dinner 2 nights ago with a few of my old classmates. It's been a long time since i've set foot on the school grounds, lot of memories.. mostly bad ones, but that was a long time ago lol~

met acouple of my old teachers, non of them could recognize me anymore... i was incredibly low profile back then so im not surprized. Food was mediocre, the dinner shows were lame and i wasn't really paying attention to any of it to begin with... it was cool just to hang out with my friends i suppose, it didn't have to be over dinner at a formal event like this~

-------------------------------

Made the final preparations for my studies yesterday. All i have to do now is just show up for class in 2 weeks time~ i was feeling bold & took 3 modules for the upcoming semester...

-Journalism & News Broadcasting
-Public Relations
-Advertising

i'm definitely syched about it :)

headed over to Delphi to get my portfolio and stayed for some financial talk bout saving money and all that. it was okay, i thought it would be ment more for like "working class adults" but it was rather general, think young adults would have been able to relate to it as well, so yeah~

left town and headed to Tampines to meet V & had my first meal of the day at Carl Jr. before catching Revenge of the Fallen. Alot of people said it was awesome but most of them, knowing how my taste in movies depends mostly on plot and dialogue, said i might not enjoy it as much since it was just riddled with tons of CGI-ed fight scenes & very little character development...

so i kept an open mind... somehow i didn't think i would walk away from a Transformers movie cursing and swearing...

when i saw Optimus Prime drop of from the Helicopter and transform in slow motion i couldn't help but giggle like an 8 year old boy... i think the plot of alright, for a movie bout Alien Robots invading earth, it doesn't have to be so realistic~

Loads of fight scenes of both the Robot & Human kind... i think the movie was kinda showing off how advance the U.S. military is with their airships and submarines etc. there was a subtle "don't fuck with America" message in the whole thing, maybe u caught it as well~ lol

the other annoying thing bout the show was how it kept playing "21 Guns" & "New Divide" over and over again... their nice song & all but a lil variety would be nice~

overall the movie wasn't great or anything like that... but the fight scenes were rather epic. It failed to leave an impression on me but it took me on a journey and that's the next best thing a movie can give :)

u can't go wrong with a Transformers movie lah~

Lastly, i'd like to wish a bunch of my friends born in July a happy 21st/22nd Birthday...
