Everyone Loves The Sleigh

1. I finally caught Rise of The Guardian and everything about the movie was perfect. The voice talents, the script and definitely the animation. It's really rare that I watch animated films in the cinema but I this movie was really worth the money. Alec Baldwin was fantastic as North and Hugh Jackman was adorable. Bunnymund was adorable. I was really hoping for Sandy to speak, at least a word but I think that would ruin the whole mysterious and cute character. Right now, The Sandman and Jack Frost are both my favorite characters. Thumbs up DreamWorks.

2. SIGGRAPH 2012. One pass was worth $200. $200. Ahem. We met Pixar representatives and also the founder of Double Negative whose company did the visual effects for the Batman Trilogy, Inception and many more films. He kept on mentioning Christopher Nolan as they were friends and the only thing that went on in my head was that, "He is friends with Christopher Nolan!" I guess this is when I'm really glad to be in this course because I get to meet all these people like Tom Hanks during Screen Singapore last year and many more stars.

3. SCMS 2012 and my reporting time is 1245am and I end at 12pm. Yeah, I think it'll be fun.

4. COUNTDOWN TO SEOUL: 13 DAYS.

5. COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS: 23 DAYS 10 HOURS 33 MINUTES.

It's A War Zone Right Now.

On the 22nd of July, I started off the day early at the Marina Barrage followed by Gardens By The Bay. An event held by the Children's Cancer Foundation got my family free tickets to the Cloud Forest and Flower Dome. Everything was going well and it was a really good start to the day. As we were about to leave, my Mother received a phone call from hospital informing us that my Grandfather was in a really bad condition. He was just admitted and things were not looking so good.

My heart skipped a beat.

After lunch, we went down to the hospital and the moment I saw my Grandfather, I knew that he was going to go soon. I thought maybe in a week or two but that Sunday was the last time I saw my Grandfather alive. On Monday night, we were all called back to the hospital but we arrived 10 minutes too late. Just 10 minutes.

They say your loved ones will go when there is no one there.

I must admit, I was not a good Granddaughter. I never got to fulfill a promise I made to my Grandfather. I feel awfully bad and horrible on the inside and I just wish that I fulfilled that promise sooner.

Yeah one day we'll look back, we'll smile and we'll laugh 

But right now we just cry

Cause it's so hard to say goodbye

Now that it's been a week, I need to stop being so sloppy and buck up for the Final Project. No more excuses. I do not want to pull the rest down or cause them anymore trouble. I apologize. 

School ends in a week and already I have so many things planned.
