Discovery in the Lone Star State: the world through my new ixus

i just bought my first digital camera, the canon ixus 70 (where style meets substance). :)

Went to one u yesterday, nothing much just your average trip to one u but now i have photos to post :)

Well, quin er, jit han, jianping and I met at one u at noon yesterday. We decided to watch a movie, but couldn't decide on which one to watch cos everyone has watched a movie that another one of us wants to watch. So we walked back and forth from TGV and GSC and the majority of us decided we wanted to watch a korean horror movie, To Sir with Love. Jianping initially refused to watch any sort of horror movie but in the end succumbed to our continuous pleading/taunting.

So we took some regular photos:

Well the movie turned out to be... not as bad as expected.

It's a story about a teacher(Ms.Park) - now old and wheelchair bound who is visited by ex-students who have now all grown up. Mi-ja, her most faithful ex-student lives with her and takes care of her. There was a class reunion at her countryside cottage and everyone seems happy to see her.

But then nothing (i mean nothing) in this movie is what it seems to be.

We later learn that the students are deeply disturbed and have issues that can be traced back to their schooling days. It seems that their teacher had unknowingly wronged them in little ways that has caused permanent scarring to their souls. It affected them so deeply that they subtly sttempted to kill Ms.Park.

At this point the story seems kinda absurd 'cos those so called traumatizing moments they had back in their schooling days were reaaally petty. Just 'cos she showed the class a very mushy drawing one of her students made for her and laughed at it, the grown up student tried to drown her in the bathtub... like com' on la.

But then the story builds up and we find out that Ms.Park is also very disturbed. She once gave birth to a deformed baby boy whom she kept locked away and raised in her basement. One by one the students die violent deaths and we think it's him but then its not cos actually his father killed him when he was a boy and then hanged himself.

So....actually Mi-ja was the sick one who poisoned all her ex-classmates and butchered them. 'Cos Ms.Park was horrible to her during her schooling days and her classmates laughed at her once in class 'cos she had her first period then and it released some sort of a stench.

But well overall the movie did the job I was terrified a few of the scenes and this horror flick actually had a storyline.

And we laughed so hard at one point cos we realised how much our ex-form teacher Cik Lum looked like the mad Ms.Park in the show. :p

So we went on to get something to eat and quin er left and eventually jithan and jianping left too.

And then I was walking towards the new wing and i bumped into Joshua and Stephen... again! I bumped into the both of them at the ikano not too long ago. fate.

So we moved on to McDs and decided to take a few photos to remember this fateful occassion by.
