[Untitled]

('Cuz, as usual, nothing coming to mind now.)

My Internet connection had stopped working on Tuesday. Yes! Ever so conveniently it did, during study break.

And you know what the worst part was?

EVERYBODY ELSE'S CONNECTIONS WERE WORKING! Only mine and Zhan Fan's wasn't, and that's only two people out of the other six people still in the house! W. T. F?!

For the past week, I've been hogging part of Ying Ying's bandwith, since she's ever so nice to come bang on my door whenever she's not using it, let me go to her room, plug the cable into my laptop, and use her connection to check my mail and stuff.

THANKS SO MUCH YING YING! REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!
*muaks*

So paiseh, taking up people's time, during study week and all... I'm using Hokkien (should be, since it's not Cantonese) because I don't know what those words are in English. And neither does my mom, my aunt, and the quite few people I've asked, mostly 'cuz my memory's the size of an amoeba.

So luckily, the Internet's back on now, since the landlady came and I complained to her about it. Would've complained it to her earlier, but she didn't come on Thursday, and she had a gall bladder operation the Monday before, soo... ya know. It's not polite, social faux pas, yadda yadda yadda...

I've a WHOLE lot of crap to write, but that would have to wait till after the exam, because I've four papers, all of which, FIRST(!) revisions I have yet to complete, and my first paper's on the 20th. Sigh.

Anyway, coming soon to a blog post on here, a double of a doozy (or is it a doozy of a double?):

Rants and Raves:
Iron Man (2008)
and
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

Iron Man (2008)

Almost didn't make it for the movie on June 1st; I told Ying Ying that the cut-off point was at 3.45pm, since the movie started at 4.10pm. If the landlady didn't come by then, she and Shekar should just go on without me.

Luckily for me, the Rent Lady came at 3.35pm.

We were late for the trailers, but we weren't late for the movie proper. Whee.

Iron Man IS as good as they say it was. Or maybe I'm easily impressionable. Either way, one of the reasons why I found Iron Man such a bundle of fun was because of Robert Downey Jr. Honestly, without him, the movie won't be that good, since Downey Jr practically deadpans everything, and made Tony Stark this really cocky and sarcastic dude. And yes, after watching this movie, I am officially in love with Robert Downey Jr.

Spoilers ahead:

One of the best lines from the movie is the bit near the beginning:

Reporter: You've been called the Da Vinci of our time. What do you say to that?
Tony Stark: Absolutely ridiculous, I don't paint.

Oh yes, word of advice: There is a scene after the credits, and for those of you well-versed with the Marvel Universe, it's big news.
