Jolly June or Bored to Death?

It's the June holidays. YAY! But let's face it, a week or few days and everything is a total yawn. I know. Me too. So to help ease the pain, I came up with some things to do. (It may not work, but it's worth a try!)

1) Read my blog!!
Advantages: You can make a special boy feel very happy!
Disadvantages: I'll be honest. I don't update all the time. Try every week or so.

2) Chill out at your Neighbour's place
Advantages: It s a serious time consumer but hey it passes the time
Disadvantages: Duh! They are not there all the time.
P.S Call before going over

3) Force your family to do something outrageous. I.e go on a holiday. Amusement parks!!!!
Advantages: Fun with a capital 'F'
Disadvantages: Your family may not like it. The creeps!

4) Doing something stupid on your own. I.e play some kiddish game you like when you were young. HEHE.
Advantages: You... get to be young again?!?1?!?!?
Disadvantages: By now, you may think it's lame.

5)Do something detective like. I.e read a detective book. Wait for someone younger to come like your cousins and play detective.
Advantages: It looks lame, but it's fun! If you play it well... You may feel like Sherlock Holmes.
Disadvantages: Detective is hard to do. Even reading it sometimes give you a headache.

6) Try to discover weird things that may cure diseases or end life as we know it (Try not to do the second one)
Advantages: Awesome discoveries. (I tried to dissolve a plant. It worked. Almost.)
Disadvantages: Your mum/ maid may wonder what on earth you are doing and try to stop you. (Especially if you tell them you are ending life as we know it)

7) Rent random DVDs/ VCDs to watch
Advantages: It's nice to watch (some of it)
Disadvantages: Where are you going to get them? Buying or renting cost money. Borrrowing is a good idea. Make sure to return it, though.

8)Listen out for good tunes
Advantages: Later in life, you will know more songs and you can impress your friends with your musical knowledge.
Disadvantages: Buying CDs cost money. Listen to the radio only give you songs your fiends probably already know but it is still a good idea.

9) Do not forget the classic video games
Advantages: Come on, it is classic
Disadvantages: 'Classic' also means old. Eventually you will get bored.

Last but not least my favourite thing

10) Create a 'things-to-do-when-you're-out-of-things-to-do box. It is a box, any container, filled with pieces of paper with your favourite things to do. When you are bored, pick out a piece and do what it says.
Advantages: GEE I DON'T KNOW BUT IT ROCKS!
Disadvantages: Unless you update it, you can end up doing things over and over again ,making it a boring box.

Well, I will leave you to enjoy your June holidays, however you choose to enjoy it.

Movie Magic Mania May

It is almost the end of May!!!! So, to end off the month as well as the school term, I give you the info on some really AWESOME movies released in May or early June. Happy School Holidays To Everyone Reading.

Yo Ho Yo Ho A Pirate's Movie For Me!!!!

The highly anticipated movie is here!! Pirates Of The Carribean: At World's End (POTC) is finally in cinemas! The follow-up to Pirate's Of The Carribean: Dead Man's Chest, released about a year ago, is here. Staring the famous Johnny Depp as the comical Captain Jack Sparrow, Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Swan and Orlando Bloom as Will Turner. The plot revolves around the three leading actors/actress with Geoffrey Rush and Singapore's Chow Yun-Fat as pirates too but this time, they are on the good side. This awesome swashbuckling movie is fit for all ages. A little note if you are going to watch it. Know roughly what's going on so you can understand throughout the three hours. Many of my family members did not understand. I read the plot on wikipedia and understood throughout. At the end it will pay off.
Mental note to readers: stay until the end, some special awaits.

After Arrgh feeling: 8/10

Three shriek for Shrek 3

'The Wait Is Orge' says the billboard and indeed it is! Shrek is going to be king, or is he? Find out in the Orge's latest chapter of his life. Expect laughs, sorrow and lots more laugh. If you are in for an excellent laugh to get rid of your problems book tickets ASAP! Mike Myers return as everyone's favourite Orge and Cameron Diaz as his Orge wife and Antonio Banderas with Eddie Murphey are puss and donkey respectively! It is an extremely family orientated film.

Orge the top?: 8/10

Other shows such as Spiderman 3 and Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer are famous movies to catch. Spiderman 3 is out already while Fantastic 4 is releasing June 14. An awesome Movie Mania is approaching. The question is, will you catch it?

Long-Lost Poem

As the title suggest, I found a poem supposed to be used in my friends newspapper assignment last June. I found it so here it is, on my blog!!!

Everytime during homework time
How I wished that after every question I were rewarded with a dime
Feeling that this is boring and drives me to sleep
It made me daydream in too deep

How I wished I could invent a homework machine
Like in anyone’s dreams
So as the time spent on homework decreases
The time spend playing the computer increases

The next day in school
I feel like a fool
I’m going to be like deep fried chicken wing
As my homework I did not bring

Song Of The Week (One And Only)

Another Song for the month of May. This week, we take a look at Timbaland's Shock Value. Most songs are too hip-hop for me as I'm into rock and pop. Hip-hop and rap fans will love this album. One recommended song by me is 'One And Only' featuring Fall Out Boy. It is a rocking song with never leaves my head. Although it is EXTREMELY vulgar, it ROCKS!

Song: One And Only
Artist: Timbaland, Fall Out Boy
Album: Shock Value (Out Now)

[Verse 1 - Timbaland]I get over heels for someone (I)That I really can't deal with (deal with) I want to block her out my mind But I really can't do it I tell myself this the last time I'ma let her do this to me Whenever we do spend time I realize that I can't get enough of you
[Bridge - Patrick Stump (Timbaland)] Wipe that smile off your fucking face (Let me say to you)Wipe that smile off your face (Let me say to you) Wipe that smile off your fucking face (Let me say to you) Wipe that smile off your face (Let me say to you)
[Chorus (Patrick Stump):] To be despised To be lovedTo be dreamt of To be sought I'm the inside of "I don't care"Right in the middle I'm right in the middle To be despised To be loved To be dreamt of To be sought I'm the inside of "I don't care"Be my unholy My one and my only
[Verse 2 - Patrick Stump]I wear scarves and hoods 'Cause it's the only poker face that I've got left And everything I love about you is a mess Smash the mirror and break the palm reader's hand I want to be better than I am
[Bridge - Patrick Stump (Timbaland)](Let me say to you)Wipe that smile off your fucking face (Let me say to you)Wipe that smile off your face (Let me say to you)Wipe that smile off your fucking face (Let me say to you)Wipe that smile off your face (Let me say to you)
[Chorus (Patrick Stump)]
[Verse 3 - Timbaland]Girl, just look what you've done How could you do this to me? I gotta put my foot down I can't let you do this to me I can't forget those good ole timesA nd all the things you've been doing to me I wanna hit that one more time I mean love, what your doing to me I'ma say it loud, right here Let's fuck in this crowd Why we arguing I thought me and you were supposed to be Friends Let's chill for minute Better yet we could heal for a minute (for a minute)Baby, put down the knife Sometime I wanna save ya life Why don't you
[Chorus (Patrick Stump)]

I Found Something!!!!

Sorry I haven't upload for sometime. I've been studying for my Common Test. OK. I found something the other day. It was a play I wrote for my class at the end of the year but they never used it. However, they did not make it to perform again during 'Graduatation Night'. Haha, retribution comes. Muhahaha. Ok ok, I'm just kidding. Now let me show it to you. Mind You, It's a little stupid.

Act 1: Classroom Scene
Narrator: Class Primary six. Sitting for PSLE this year. Students, most of them however, not worried or interested.
Bell: Ringgggggggggggggggggg
Teacher: Ok, class recess is over. I have your results for the test you sat for a week ago. Class average, 25. Of a class of 4 pupils, 3 scored 0. If you do simple calculations, which I think most of you will not, 1 person scored 100.
Boy 1: Wahh, so smart, Einstein Kristinsson’s (kris-tin-sonn-s) baby!
Teacher: no, it’s Albert Einstein and no, Jimmy’s last name is not Kristinsson, neither is it neutron so don’t bother asking.
Jimmy: I’m also not a baby, and if you’re asking, you are!
(Teacher gives out the paper)
Boy 1: Really, huh, ow paper cut!!!
Jimmy: Told you so
Boy 2: Wahh, both smart and psychic, oh could you teleport like in the movies?
Teacher: ok, ok, Jimmy, could you please pass me a plaster?
(Jimmy gets the plaster and gives it to teacher)
(Teacher put it on the boy)
Teacher: ok Jimmy, you don’t have to stay back on Friday
Jimmy: Sweet!
Teacher: as for the rest of you, retest on Friday, study hard and George stop bribing me please. If you keep giving me $100 per test, by the end of the year, I would have saved up for 3 limos, 5 bungalows and I would be able to have a money bath every hour.
George (Boy 3): is that expensive?
(Teacher looks irritated)
Jimmy: (facing the teacher) I’ll answer this question for you. (Facing George) to us yes, to you or maybe Bill gates and the president of U.S.A. no
Bell: Ringgggggggggggggggggg
Teacher: ok class dismissed!
Class: yeah!
(Running out of the class)
Narrator: Jimmy, as you can see, is your average brain-ne-act (brain-y-act), but things do not usually appear, as it seems. Soon enough, you’ll realize Jimmy isn’t that happy.
(Two weeks later)
Act 2: Classroom scene
Teacher: ok class results for yesterday’s test average; I’m disappointed to say, 11. But I’m happy to say, boy 1 scored 15, boy 2 scored 14, boy 3 scored 13 and jimmy, I’m disappointed with yours, 2.
Class: huh?
Teacher: you couldn’t even get 1=0+1 correct.
Boy 2: then where did his 2 marks come from?
Teacher: oh, the school had a new policy, write your name, date and index number and 2 marks are free for you. Anyway, to help you out for your retest this afternoon, I will be watching you, if you have any questions feel free to ask me. To keep your mind off the failure, I baked you some cookies.
Boy 1: hey, why didn’t you bake me cookies when I had 2.
Boy 2: yeah me too
Boy 3: yeah me three
Teacher: there is not enough cookie dough in the world
Jimmy: I think I need to see the school counselor
Teacher: ok, what can I do for you, Jimmy?
Jimmy: you’re not the school counselor
Teacher: well, I got a promotion for improving the overall class grades, and I am now a school counselor as well. So, what can I do for you?
Jimmy, I’ve been feeling over-pressurized lately. I feel over-pressurized over-burdened, over-stressed, over…
Teacher: ok, I think I get the picture.
Jimmy: any remedies?
Teacher: To get your grades up, yes. to get your spirits up, no. However, I think I know some people who have remedies for that.
Jimmy: who? Is it people I know?
Teacher: Oh, you know them all right. In fact, they’re in this room
Jimmy: please not your talking pens. You gave them to me when I had the flu and you it would cure me but instead, it gave me a headache.
Teacher: this time I’m meant your classmates
Jimmy: classmate! My classmates! They can’t even do 1 times table!
Teacher: actually they scored full marks in that section. Seriously my point is be a kid, have some fun. But not too much fun. Think about it this way, all work and no play make Jimmy a dull boy.
Jimmy: Jack! Make Jack a dull boy, my name is Jimmy, you can’t change proverbs, but I get your point.
Narrator: and so Jimmy played with his classmates and had fun. Eventually his grades when up and they live happily ever after, too bad this isn’t a fairy tale.
Boy 1: Moral 1 all work and no play make anyone a dull person
Boy 2: Moral 2 Pressure can really be annoying
Jimmy: Moral 3 classmates and teachers are always with no matter what
