The feeling of being a poly student all over again

Ok.. So I finally dragged my lazy ass back to Ngee Ann Poly just to certify my certs after months of procastinating LOL. Apparently Monash was afraid that pple would change their grades when they photocopied their certs. Hence the need to certify it at the institution. My laziness had nothing to do with the fact that I lived in Tampines and my school located at Clementi. No really, it didn't matter one bit.

Anyway I went there in the afternoon and it was raining cats and dogs and hamsters and rabbits. I was expecting to get drenched when i reached NP coz the last time i was there, there were not many shelters in the school. But... Surprise surprise !! When I reached NP, there were actually shelters!! Why did they wait till after I graduated you'll have to ask them. Not only that, there's a street soccer court there now ! omg.. WHY NOT EARLIER ?! I could have played there during my time man.. What a difference a year and a half made.. C'mon it's not like I graduated 5 years ago rite ?

I tried my best to act like a poly student when I reached the school and I think I did it quite well. hahaha ya noe the t-shirt and jeans + a sling bag across yr body shit.. The only difference was that I noticed I looked older than the rest which can't be helped. I already had this "chao lao" face on the first day of school. One of my classmates actually thought I was the senior there helping out in the orientation -.-

Anyway I managed to certify my certs without much of a hassle and the kind guy there even provided me with an envelope to keep my certs. Less than fifteen minutes and everything was settled. I then went to City Hall to meet
yuting to catch The Prestige.

Since I completed my stuffs early in NP, i reached City Hall earlier than scheduled. I then decided to walk around Raffles City to see if there was anything I could get. I browsed through Levi's, Esprit, Royal Sporting House and Bossini but nothing caught my fancy. In the end, I went to Robinsons and managed to get a T-shirt from there. After that I went to meet yuting before walking to Marina Square for the movie.

Town area is really empty during weekdays afternoons. For the first time, I walked through CityLink without the usual human congestion. As usual, I had to guess my way through Marina Square to locate the cinema. Luckily we didn't get lost along the way LOL.

The Prestige's a good movie imho. The plot was good and there were alot of twists to the story without the confusion that usually comes with it(eg. Black Dahlia and Infernal Affairs 3). It was like Infernal Affairs 3 which moved back to the past at times. However, there was no need to inform the audience that it was in the past as I could automatically understand which was the past and which was the present. It was amazing at how smoothly this movie went, it practically just flowed through.

*Every great magic trick consists of three acts. The first act is called "The Pledge"; The magician shows you something ordinary, but of course... it probably isn't. The second act is called "The Turn"; The magician makes his ordinary some thing do something extraordinary. Now if you're looking for the secret... you won't find it, that's why there's a third act called, "The Prestige"; this is the part with the twists and turns, where lives hang in the balance, and you see something shocking you've never seen before. *
