- 00:52 RT @Alphahaziq: Someone asked me today, "How are you gonna spend your Christmas?" I replied, "I honestly don't know..." #
- 00:53 @TheNGTV you guys no good hair day. We girls got. #
- 01:18 @Xiaxue <3 your love story with mike. It was awesome :) #
- 02:14 @Alphahaziq sounds very wrong. #
- 13:51 @Xiaxue probably draw $20 and if i need to buy anything i will use masters. LOL #
- 23:14 @Xiaxue how about honeydew? Cos the fruit stall ppl cut away the hard parts and left the fleshy/juicy parts and damn shiok cos its cold. #
I am so in love with this song right now <3 And the Red Army Choir. And Russia
What an awesome day! Invaded IKEA with Jenn today and pigged out on meatballs and soft serve. Phat will come back to haunt me, yeah, BUT I REGRET NOTHING because we had an awesome time! THANK YOU FOR AN AWESOME DAY OF AWESOMENESS, I LOVE YOU JENNN!!! <3 I will cook wonderful Russian food for you and we will PARTY HARD LIKE SU-SAN >8D And you will let me see your sketchbooks and stop being so disparaging of your own art, self praise may be an international disgrace but self-flagellation does nothing to build character! :< What is this defeatism, IVAN AND I DO NOT APPROVE D8< We will both keep practising and one day we will draw like all those awesome artists out there! That being said, THANK YOU FOR THE HOT RUSSIA AND BELARUS DRAWING, I'M SORRY YOU ONLY GOT
Exam results come out tomorrow! What a busy week ahead with GAPS and CORS, and it's Christmas week too D< NUS Y U DO DIS. All the best to everyone else on their results! I'm nervous but I think my excitement over Christmas and Ivan's birthday and Russian Christmas is kinda overwhelming me at the moment, which isn't necessarily a bad thing I suppose. Must go grocery shopping for ingredients soon...
Катюша
Расцветали яблони и груши, | Apple and pear trees were a-blooming, |
Поплыли туманы над рекой. | Mist (was) creeping on the river. |
Выходила на берег Катюша, | Katyusha set out on the banks, |
На высокий берег на крутой. | On the steep and lofty bank. |
| |
Выходила, песню заводила | She was walking, singing a song |
Про степного, сизого орла, | About a grey steppe eagle, |
Про того, которого любила, | About her true love, |
Про того, чьи письма берегла. | Whose letters she was keeping. |
|
|
Ой ты, песня, песенка девичья, | Oh you song! Little song of a maiden, |
Ты лети за ясным солнцем вслед. | Head for the bright sun. |
И бойцу на дальнем пограничье | And reach for the soldier on the far-away border |
От Катюши передай привет. | Along with greetings from Katyusha. |
|
|
Пусть он вспомнит девушку простую, | Let him remember an ordinary girl, |
Пусть услышит, как она поет, | And hear how she sings, |
Пусть он землю бережет родную, | Let him preserve the Motherland, |
А любовь Катюша сбережет. | Same as Katyusha preserves their love. |
WHAT A WONDERFUL SONG <3
And I found this extremely charming:
С Рождеством Христовым, everyone! :D
- Music:Katyusha - Red Army Choir

See, thanks to LJ I can track my whole Trekkie journey. Right from 2007 when they announced that Chris Pine would play Kirk and I was all dubious, to last year when the first teasers came out and I thought, should I bother watching Heroes to find out more about this Zachary Quinto guy, to now when I'm plotting nu!Trek marathons. T______T
On hindsight, it seems like I'm destined to get sucked into Trek. It's always hovering there on the periphery, a milestone in the history of fandom, an important pop culture text in its own right and one of the most high-profile works of science fiction (one of my favourite genres). J.J. Abram's shiny lensflare-y universe of pretty people came along and poof. I protested plenty on the way into the fandom; now I guess I'm in it for good. The older TV shows and movies weird me out, but Trek '09 has a strong enough following on its own and even though it's just 6 months old, there's a very rich subfandom to mess around in.
One thing I learnt from my Trekkie conversion: never believe the hype, judge for yourself. I didn't like the trailer. I ignored reviews and other opinions. It was enough that it was Trek -- what kind of sci-fi junkie would I be without watching it?
So this is what I'm taking to watch Avatar this Tuesday, which is part of our Epic Star Trek (2009) Actor Marathon of Doom ©. Let's dub it ESTAMOD for short. More on it later. Avatar is Zoe's contribution to The Cause, but even if I didn't manage to pull the ESTAMOD off, I'd have dragged people to watch it anyway because it's James Cameron, the auteur behind Terminator and Titanic. And that's enough for me. Never mind the 3D, which is wasted on me, or whatever SFX -- I'd never watch a show just for that. I like cheesy, I like pretty, and above all, I treasure the fan experience, geeking out over a shared love, be it mainstream or esoteric. That's why I try for opening day screenings whenever I can.
Back to ESTAMOD. For my own reference:
Chris Pine Blind Dating / Princess Diaries 2 / Just My Luck (haven't decided yet)
Zachary Quinto Selected Heroes episode(s)
Zoe Saldana Avatar
John Cho Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle
Karl Urban Doom (he is hott stuff ♥![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
anivad, shall we watch this on Tuesday morning at your place?)
Not 100% confirmed yet:
Anton Yelchin Terminator Salvation
Simon Pegg Hot Fuzz
Eric Bana Munich? Black Hawk Down?
I wish this was an![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)

- 01:23 @Alphahaziq actually the fish is another thing like fish for information. :\ #
- 02:08 I can count the number of people i trust using my hands, in fact one hand. But what if e person you trust betray you?

- 13:17 This 4 years i see all my friends getting in and out of relationship while i have been single LOL. #
Hey! I dissapeared for a bit. Lol sorry! Been crazy busy with life. Work, dance and tons of friends asking me to do so much stuff. Don't know when I'll have time to post. I needto post about dance. Maybe when I go back home. Another 6 days. Wohooooo!!!
Have another train sign.
Once again, our dear national newspaper spotlights a show that anyone who's serious about their TV fix would have seen already -- Merlin. Okay, I guess they have to keep it all legal and above-board, and Starhub is just SLOW in importing shows, hello have you seen Singtel's model?
I guess I shouldn't be complaining about the lack of same-week telecasts because I haven't been regular in watching Merlin! Exams and other things get in the way, plus this season is wildly inconsistent as compared to the previous one. Maybe I'm pampered by the final third of the first series, which was great and I expected that to carry over, but it didn't and somehow this year's episodes lack the same hook that made me marathon the show last year in a hardcore way. The writing is weaker, characterisations all over the place, where is Morgana, strange continuity -- whatever they did the previous week seems to have zero effect on the episode -- and the laundry list goes on.
Then I got up to "The Sins of the Father" and omg show you have redeemed yourself. Well if I rewatched "Excalibur" and started nitpicking on the retcon I might think differently, but I'm such a sucker for those crazy intense moments and my heart just bleeds for Arthur. ;_;
This ep is all Arthur's, really. His sense of honour, desire to know more about his mother (nice Arthur/Merlin bonding moment there about missing parents), and the whole showdown with Uther over Igraine was painful and angst-riddled in best way. What hurts more is that you see how vulnerable Arthur is to outside influences, that people are pushing him around and he doesn't see it, so when Merlin has to persuade Arthur that magic is bad, that was one nasty double-whammy.
