Kids are Quick

People say children are a blessing. They are adorable, childish, cute, and often humourous, some are impish, and the most common thing amongst children is that they are ignorant to anything around them. They learn to talk, often babble, and they yell or shout and destroy nearly everything comes to them. Children are mostly recalcitrant too, which is what burdened most parents. Most children are really.......adorable. Read why:

TEACHER: Maria, go to the map and find North America
MARIA: Here it is.
TEACHER: Correct. Now class, who discovered America?
CLASS: Maria.

TEACHER: John, why are you doing your maths multiplication on the floor?
JOHN: You told me to do it without using tables.

TEACHER: Glenn, how do you spell "crocodile"?
GLENN: K-R-O-K-O-D-I-A-L
TEACHER: No, that's wrong.
GLENN: Maybe it is wrong, but you asked me how I spell it.

TEACHER: Donald, what is the chemical formula for water?
DONALD: H I J K L M N O
TEACHER: What are you talking about?
DONALD: Yesterday you said it's H to O.

TEACHER: Millie, give me a sentence begins with 'I'.
MILLIE: I is....
TEACHER: No, Millie....Always say, 'I am.'
MILLIE: All right, 'I am the ninth letter of the alphabet.'

TEACHER: Now, Simon, tell me frankly, do you say prayers before you eat?
SIMON: No sir, I don't have to, my Mom is a good cook.

TEACHER: Clyde, your composition on your 'My Dog' is exactly the same as your brother's. Did you copy his?
CLYDE: No, sir. It's the same dog.

TEACHER: Harold, what do you call a person who keeps on talking when people are no longer interested?
HAROLD: A teacher.



If you want to be a primary school teacher, think twice. The consequences might need medical attention.

My Review on The Exorcist (1973)

Based on the true story, this 1973 movie was released in USA during the winter of 1973. People lined up in front of building just to buy the tickets, and the line was said to be long enough to surround a building. It wasn't unprecedented, but it was unexpected. Since then, the movie has said to be the scariest movie of all time.

Paramedics were called to theatres to treat those who collapsed due to shock. In fact, a man was so shocked that he fainted and knocked on the chair in front of him which then caused him to have a broken jaw. He then sued Warner Brothers!

Haha. Watching all the reviews on the internet and reading people's comments and their responses to the film was really engaging. Many people said the film was so terrifying till the film was imprinted permanently in the mind. They couldn't get the scary images out of their lives anymore, living in horror for the rest of their lives.

Feeling excited, I tried to dig the movie from google. And I successfully watched the film on YouTube.

Here's my review: The show begins with an archaelogist discovering something in the land of Iraq. It was a statue, or something I guess, with Pazuzu's face on it. Then later, the film set on America. Chris MacNeil is an actor and a mother (Nope, the name wasn't wrongly typed, it's Chris). Her daughter, Regan, is 12 years old. Ragen begins to exhibit strange, unnatural power including moving things telekinetically and levitating. It all begins when she started seizing, and her mother brings her to meet doctors. When all the doctors come out with nothing, they recommend exorcist. Saying that if she thinks she is possessed, an exorcist might make her think she is cured.

So Father Damien Karras is sought after by Chris. Father Damien has recently lost her mother. He is now devastated, and refuses to perform exorcist until further symptoms like speaking in foreign language is exhibited. But he changes his mind when the word 'Help Me" is seemed to be written from the inside of Ragen's body and protruding outwards. Terrified, he seeks after the Church's help and an experienced father assists him in the exorcism.

Frankly, after watching the movie, I find this movie only average. Here's one thing: I don't find this movie creepy. Some scenes are disturbing, like the scene where the girl masturbates with a crucifix, the spider-walk and her contorted face and whatnot were disturbing. I can't deny that. But if we are talking about horror, the film is average to me. What I like about this movie is the drama. This film contains drama and story which will make you stick to your chair and finish the film. So what's so ironic about this film is it is intended to make audiences to freak out. Most people who freak out don't finish the film. Not till the end. Or at least leave their chairs for a moment and come back later. So trying to stick to your chair and freak out at the same time is pretty much a difficult task to do. But I managed to, haha!

The Exorcist will definitely freak you out if you are easily frightened. Many unexpected scenes shown up for no reason. But overall, to me, the film is average. Good drama, but not scary enough. Is it just me, or am I just have a steel heart?

The end is satisfying, deserves an A-. The drama is great, at least not haphazardly planned like Ju-On: The Grudge 2, therefore it deserves a strong A. The scenes-to me-are not scary enough. The only thing that deserves to be eulogised is the director managed to create a chilling atmosphere without gore. But alas, I don't have an accelerated heart, therefore it gets a weak C-. The acting is superb. The scenes where the mother waits with a grim of foreboding and breaks out with despair, the scenes where the girl yells at pain, the shocked look at the priests and more are great. Deserves another strong A. Overall the film scores a strong B+ from me.

Credit

I finally got a credit for ICAS English. I got 32/60. It wasn't very good, but it is satisfactory. At least I'm in the top 23% in Malaysia.

Realise I use the word 'Malaysia'? Yeap. My result is only compared to students in Malaysia. I'm pretty sure the standard is much higher in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and other countries. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Malaysia has the lowest standard among all countries.

But still, being able to get 32/60 correct is, as I said earlier, encouraging.

School Life is Boring

I was sleeping in class this morning. After the final year exam nobody bothers to study and no teacher bothers to teach us. Well....actually some teachers do, but how many? Ok, my biology teacher does, she is a hardworking teacher or else tell me how could she be the panitia? TPS does too, but does she have any choices? She is the so-called pro in the school and she has published numerous books that have hit the market with good reception. Unless she decides to have her reputation goes to oblivion or else she is going to teach. GCL has finished the Physics syllabus. Even if she wants to continue teaching it would be a tall order. What else can she teach? Nuclear bombing? MAG does too. But....umm.....you can say he is being lackadaisical. He finishes a chapter of sejarah in two lessons. It normally takes two weeks to do so, but he does it in 2 lessons. He's on speed!! MTAM teacher is trying hard to finish the syllabus, but as everyone knows, it will be impossible because we have been behind for 2 months. And even if we have the 2 months back it would be hard for her to finish teaching.

.

The others? Nothing. There's why today is so boring.

.

7.15am. I was sitting in my class with my eyes fixed at two groups of people. As I mentioned earlier, my class is highly polarised. I watched them gesticulating, I listened them bantering, and I glanced at my watch waiting. Finally, at 7.30am, it was confirmed 17/44 people were absent.

Irrelevent picture.

It wasn't the highest record. It was - in fact - the second highest record, which was, or wasn't (I chose the formal one) something 4S3 should be proud at. NPL was flabbergasted too. Could you blame her? 17/44 people, imagine how many zeroes she had to draw on the attendance book.

What did we do? Simple, we did nothing. Sivik teacher wasn't in school, and we just walked around in the class, bantering with each others, tattling about the latest gossip, discussing the latest video. BI? Nothing again. SEJ? Yeah he finished the chapter in 25 minutes. I have lost count how many points he skipped. He was more desperate than us to finish the syllabus.

PHY? Well, we (by we I mean me, TZR, TWX, CMH, PMF, LTN, SJY, TZJ and NKW, who did I miss?) talked about entertainments with GCL. GCL has a surprising knowledge about the world of entertainment, but she appeared to be ignorant to any Hollywood-related entertainments. She preferred Chinese movies. But still, listened to her talking about the actors and actress made me to look at her differently now. We spent two lessons jabbering about entertainments.

BM? Pongchu never entered the class. But the weather at that particular lesson was particularly windy so I was standing outside, trying to be 'Jack' in the class. Unfortunately no 'Rose' suited me. MTAM? Nothing. Privacy continued her teaching, and I continued my working. MM? OSM had finished teaching, so we continued jabbering. BC? NPL joined us and talked. And CMH continued to badger her into giving him 2 marks, and NPL continued to say she couldn't give anymore mark. She remained headstrong. It was interesting how CMH made the illogical logical. God you are a genius!

2.00pm. Class dismissed.

Results

I have got all the results for all papers except IT, but since IT is negligible so I am not counting it yet. Here's the result

BM: 68. Shockingly I got better than what I had expected. I hadn't touched Malay or used Malay for 3 months and turned out my result wasn't a complete disaster.

BI: 78. Getting 78 from LAT's hand is already considered superb. I have nothing to complain.

BC: 71. Finally I got a satisfactory result. 61/100 for paper 2! My best result so far!

MM: The subject I am satisfied the most: 87.

MTAM: I could have done much better: 64.

BIO: If only I was careful and not sleeping, I could have scored the 5 marks I lost. 65.

CHEM: 83. The paper is easy compared to Bio and Phy. But getting 83 is already out of my expectation, so I am satisfied with myself.

PHY: 60! As long as I passed the paper I don't really care what mark I got.

SEJ: 77. My result has dropped. But it's still satisfactory.

PM: 82. ACS's is lenient in marking, so I'm not going to whine about anything here.

SV: I remembered I suffered from stomach ache before the exam and I didn't read anything because of the pain. But turned out I got a satisfactory 73.

IT: Negligible. Any subject that is not included in SPM is considered negligible because I only pay attention to those I am sitting for in November 2011.


My purata: 72.42 so far. I estimated if my IT is 60, my average will drop to 72.14. Still the average has exceeded my expectation, so again, I'm not whinging anything.

However I am disappointed with my MTAM and BIO. I could have done better for MTAM (my favourite subject). As for bio, I'm taking Biology for form 6. So if I am not doing well for Biology in SPM how can I cope with the form 6 syllabus? I really need to work hard for Biology!

Piranha 3D

This is my review.

A small magnitude of earthquake might only crack the bottom of the lake. It seems harmful, but what if a school of piranha is released?

Directed by Alexander Aja (The Hills Have Eyes), this 84 minutes long movie is about a school of piranha released after an earthquake strikes. The piranhas begin to scavenge for food, eating whatever flesh comes to them. This movie begins with a man fishing on a lake, and when the earthquake hits, a whirlpool is formed and he gets sucked inside. Before he is drawn down he is suddenly attacked by what seems to be piranha.

If you love nudity, watch this movie. The first 40 minutes is basically a pornographic. Women showing their breasts (seriously), women having sex, women sucking each other's cleavage. Sorry ladies no penis is seen. When a group of researchers go down to the lake, they are suddenly attacked by the piranhas. They all successfully escaped, but alas with one seriously maimed. A piranha is also caught and brought to a scientist and it is revealed that that particular species of piranha is supposed to vanish 2 million years ago.

Realising a mayhem is going to break out, sheriffs begin to evacuate the scene. Unfortunately, it's spring break. Teenagers are frolicking around the lake, swimming in the lake, sipping in the lake. Teenagers are usually rebellious and recalcitrant, hence their effort to no avail, until a lady begins to get bitten and blood begins to flow and piranhas come rushing to them. Of course, there is a stampede. People begin to run around. Bla bla bla.

Julie Forester, Jake's mother and the sheriff on call, begins her duty and is later informed that her children are on a boat, sinking. Panic, she drives a boat and tries to rescue her children. Hence the story centres around 2 place. One on the seaside, where the lake water turn into a pool of blood, and the other is at the centre of the lake, where a boat is sinking with Julie trying to try her children from a school of piranha.

The first 40 minutes, as I said earlier, is full with nudity. Good for people who like to be horny. The next 44 minutes is full with gore. This movie is probably the most gory movie I have watched. Imagine these: All leg muscles gone, bones are visible. Body splits into two upon moving, victim still alive. Parts of bodies bitten off, private part gone........Gosh.

This movie ends with a cliffhanger, foreshadowing a sequal will be made.

If you love nudity and gore, trust me, this is the perfect movie for you. But if you think nudity sucks, go watch The Hills Have Eyes. If you only like nudity and hates gore, go buy a pornographic. If you like both, watch this movie. Highly recommended.

My rating: 4/5. Can be better if it isn't filler at the beginning. The end is a twist and unexpected, therefore deserves an A. The drama is boring. Too much nudity, too much talking, less action, less escaping, less running. Deserves only a D. The gory scenes are spine-chilling. If you are looking for something disgusting and making your hairs stand, watch this. The most gory movie I have watched, but still enjoyable. It deserves an A-. This movie has not successfully made me scream my lungs out. I've watched more than 50 horror movies and not a single one has made me feel terrified. Ergo, to me, this movie is a gory movie, not a horror movie. It fails to make me scare, therefore deserves an E. Overall the movie deserves a B-.

It is only called a horror movie if I give it an A. So far, no horror movies deserve an A yet.
