Title : J.U.M.P. (Jammin' @ United Music Party)

Roarrr!!! It was the J.U.M.P. (Jammin' @ United Music Party) today!!! Gaaaaahhh!!! Damn it was fun, not the early stages but as the night arrives, the music gets hotter!!! Too bad to those who went home early and didn't join the party!!! Haha!! (Psst!! I went down with a few female classmates, met this girl who liked me whom I didn't like at all, she got soo jealous that she went home!!! Wakakaka!! What the hell!! We're just classmates!! Girls these days... Hahaha!!) Anyways, there were a couple of live band performances from the afternoon til night, later at 9pm, there was even a J-Rock (Japanese-Rock) performance by a female lead singer of the band. People started walking away from the stage, it was hilarious!! But the crowd came back, more than ever later on when rock bands, rappers, freestylers (mainly RP's leading champion hip-hop crew, Style-Methodz) and beat-boxers conquered the stage which was booming with huge amplifiers and speakers left and right. Previuosly, Prime miniter Lee Tsien Loong came and gave one of those parliamentary speeches as well as crediting RP and initiating the switch which triggered the official opening of RP's new campus cause we haven't held an official opening ceremony for the new campus yet and today was the day.

Aside from te political stuff, the party's what I'm talking about! Danced and clubbed all night!! Me and my friends gathered, danced away and soon without noticing, formed a circle with space in the middle for dancers to go in and show their moves one by one, challenging each other as if to see who can better one another. It was mad-happening!!! We even caught the attention of the DJ who announced to all the clubbers that "The free-stlye session will be carried out over there!" so get overhee and show your stuff, that's what I'd say! Damn security was lack!!! Only peple who had tickets should be able to enter but soon, almost anyone could enter through all the diffeent entrances from RP, even residents of Woodlands came with their children to check it out and gobble down the free buffet. That aside, jumping, dancing, clubbing, grinding, moshing... Throughout the whole night as the live-bands ended and the DJ took control!!! Damn the party ended at 11pm when we wanted it to last longer... Oh well, it's a well-worth party, hope it'll be held again next year!! Phew... I'm beat blogging just after the party... Too shag so see you all in the future!! (Psst, if they do hold it again next year or if there is any future parties, you can approach me if you have difficulty attaining tickets for them, I'll try my best to see what I can do for you with my connections! Just like J.U.M.P. tix you see I have below!)

Title : Cosplay Festival at Downtown East

Ohayo gozaimasu!!! ^_^ These here will be a few of the cosplay pictures taken during the annual cosfest which took place today at Downtown East. It was great such a thrill seeing all the different people dressed up as their favourite characters from their favourite games and animes, wow-ing us with their creativity and huge amount of effort and hard work to pull it off. The costumes were brilliantly made to the last detail. My personal pick would be the Rozen Maiden and especially Kingdom Hearts 2 costumes and props that were imaginatively brought to reality, convincingly from every angle in sight. There were 2 categories, individual and the group category. In the group category, Kingdom Hearts 2 group wowed the audience with their costumes and props while the Haruhi Suzumiya group impressed both the audience and judges with their magnificent performance, mimicking the opening of the actual anime itself. Without further adue, here are the photos. >.<





*Gimme a nudge if you want more pics!! (^_^)

Title : Round De Campus Relay

At Republic Polytecnic (my poly) today took place the Round De Campus Relay. I formed a team consistig of my classmates. A team of 2 guys, 2 gals. We took part in the inter-class category. It was a tough one. A run of 1.5km each and passing on the baton, I'm not sure bout the timing of the rest but mine was 5 minutes 3 seconds and I overtook 4 facilitators and 3 students who were way ahead of me and maintained all the way with a final sprint to pass on the baton.

Been a long time since i runned long distances, enjoying the competition of endurance between the fittest and only the best. The last time I ran was like a year ago while in secondary school taking my NAPFA. 2.4km around Bukit Timah Hill which includes uphills and downhills with a best timing of 9 minutes. Miss those good old days of glory of always being second fastest in the class with my best friend in the top spot with a timing of half-a-minute faster than me always and how we'd always end up in the top 10 out of the whole school in the school's annual cross-country meet. Love long distance running, what can I say.

Back to the event, there was a free flow of canned drinks and a buffet-spread of fruits and only fruits! LoL??? Haha. Think we ended up in 6th or 7th place as we overtook more than half of those competing but there were only trophies and prizes for the top 5 teams, too bad. As for the open category whereby all Polytechnics and ITEs were invited to join, an ITE team were the champions. Need to rest now. Super-shag!!! Looking forward to the next run... ^_^

Title : Die Hard 4.0

Rated PG-13

2 hrs 10 mins

Action/Adventure

In a movie season filled with CGI fantasy, Die Hard 4.0 gets real – with real action, real humor, and the reprise of a beloved and iconic character: John McClane (Bruce Willis). On the Fourth of July weekend, an attack on the vulnerable United States infrastructure begins to shut down the entire nation. The mysterious figure behind the scheme has figured out every modern angle…but he never figured on McClane.

Watched this today!!! It's a great movie!!! I seriously reccomend those who love action-packed movies to watch this one. It's a movie that is not to be missed!!! I'm sure the budget to produce this film is outrageously high! I give it a full 5 out of 5 rating for the first time in a long time.
