long time didn't blog already, been busy with sch work and exams. Pheww, finally all these are over and now holiday here i come...though i don't really expect my final year exam and GPA results to be good. let's see, last Tue had DE paper, i know i got 1 question wrong as i forget to put the bubble on the EOR gate, it's supposed to be ENOR gate. When i was doing the paper, i know ENOR gate is the answer but don't know why my mind or my hand drew EOR gate. My mum said sometimes human mind are like that, u are supposed to do one thing but u are doing the other thing and memory deteriorates too. I cant really forgive myself for making this mistake as teacher had already gone through this question in class, i know the concept and during exam i know the answer in my head. It was during the MRT ride home i realized this gravely mistake and tt night i kept thinking about it in my sleep until my head hurts when i woke up. Math paper was OK however PEEE is the one which is the killer paper. I got no confidence in my answers at all so i don't expect to score an A this time. But this paper is important so that i can get to my 1st option for my 2nd year. Arr, nvm, i try not think about it too much, it 's bad for health and i'm trying the ways in Mind Your Body on how to relax..Haha..

Last Thursday after math paper, went to newly renovated Jurong Point with Pei fen to watch a movie as she had vouchers for Golden Village cinema. Thank You Pei Fen for treating me!! We watched Slumdog Millionaire which is set in India, with Indian characters, actors and themes----which has been nominated in 10 categories for the Academy Awards.
On Monday, Slumdog won 8 Oscars for :
1. Best Picture
2. Best Director
3. Best Adapted Screenplay
4. Best Cinematography
5. Best Original Score
6. Best Original Song
7. Best Film Editing
8. Best Sound Mixing
Slumdog Millionaire took the top honors during the Academy Awards outshining The Curious Case of Benjamin Button which many expect it to win. I came across a picture (tt kind of pic that use in source-based qn during sec sch SS and Hist) drawn by some artist showing the outline and shape of India country grabbing the Oscar Award. I think that picture is trying to say that India Slumdog Millionaire is the best and it has been decades since India last won an Oscar.
It has the right elements and great artistry, and the child actors are picked from the slums of Mumbai to act in this movie. They are really brilliant as they have no acting skills to begin with.
"Slumdog Millionaire shows slum life in India as it really is with integrity and dignity." It is about a child from the slums in Mumbai, a tea boy in a call centre, who wins a TV quiz show on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? It'a a story of love, hope and destiny. And there's a scene in which the person uses a spoon to dig out the child's eyes and make him a beggar. it's seems so gross even though it is just a movie. But people blinding children to make use of them to beg money for them which is really true in India.
This movie is good and should be highly recommended...
