May The Force Be With You

birthday shouts:

Happy Belated to Alan Liu (May 20)
Happy Birthday to Phil (May 23)

it seems that Star Wars is the thing right now, not surprising i guess since Revenge of the Sith is out now. still have yet to see it, but hopefully soon. :)

i actually just finished watching The Phantom Menace and i have a few comments about it. yes, it was crap. the script was crap. Jar Jar Binks was a stupid character, as is his species. i hate how they talk. and the kid that played young Anakin Skywalker can't act. i kinda aggravated by him by the time the movie was over. a lot of his comments were dumb.

furthermore, the podrace was unreal. it was like he was the old Michael Schumacher (he's racing like crap this year in Formula 1). first his engine stalls in the beginning of the race and then on the last lap he wins. that's gay. not to mention all the troubles he got into during the race. Sebulba should've won. but nooooooo!

also, i have several questions to ask about the Jedi and the Sith. how come the Sith only have two ppl? like Yoda said "No more, no less." they only have a master and an apprentice. how does the Jedi not be able to sense that Palpatine is Lord Sidious? like, he's right there dudes! kill him! so, since the Sith only has 2 ppl, how come the Jedi can't overthrow them easily? especially when the Sith are normally not trained properly since they take a short cut. *shrugs*

so yeah..now i only need to watch Attack of the Clones, and then Revenge of the Sith. so far i've only heard good things about Episode III so that's encouraging.

i just realized that i owe a lot of ppl money. ok not a lot of ppl, but three ppl. i owe Jeff for internet, Ben for the SALMON-coloured couch, Joel for the cleats, and my sister for the new shoes. i wonder if i owe anyone else money. hmmm.... *ponders*

so on Saturday night, i coughed up some more money. $5 to be exact. i played poker with my brother, Matt, Ken, and a dude named Arthur. they're all my brother's friends. we played with $500 worth of chips. we started without Arthur 'cuz he was running late, but he still ended up being the first one out of the game. lol..then it was me. my brother eventually won against Ken. nothing too exciting happened though, no real highlights there, but it was a freaking long game. it lasted almost 4hrs.

went to bed at around 4am. don't ask. i don't know why.

woke up at 8.30am for church. 15mins before i normally get up 'cuz i couldn't get back to sleep without waking up every 5mins. i just gave up at 8.30 and just got myself out of bed. i was actually early for service today.

so, after service, went to Wendy's with Rebecca and Sarah for lunch or more like, so i could have lunch, while Rebecca sat there with her green milk tea, which apparently didn't taste all that good. haha..i punched her without knowing she had the cup in her hand, so it kinda spilt a little haha. i was playing our punching game. instead of playing punch buggy, we play punch BMW/Mercedes. she punches me for BMWs, and i punch her for Mercedes. haha..sorry if i punch you too hard Rebecca. :P

so back to church we go at 12.30pm. took what seemed like an hr for some ppl to decide where to go for lunch. i was just gonna tag along 'cuz i had nothing better to do and time to kill before heading to the softball diamond. so they ate, i drank water. well, more like they ordered, i drank water and left. lol..

i got to the diamond about 5mins late. only Joel was there at the time. and then another Joel came, and then Mindy came, and then a whole bunch of ppl came. it was alright, not a bad turnout for a long weekend. i think about 12-13 ppl came out. it was mainly a practice setting, and we started a game pretty late. i dont' even think we got through 2 innings 'cuz it was kinda dry. boring.

after softball was over, Gilbert told Phil to tell me that there's badminton back at the church gym from 4-6pm, so i headed there to play for a while. the racquet i borrowed was pretty heavy for me. not used to such heavy racquets! i played Gilbert a singles match, but it had to be cut short 'cuz the strings for my racquet broke! :S Gilbert was leading 7-2 at that point. i shall bring my court shoes and badminton racquet next time!

so, it's been a pretty busy long weekend for me. lots of things going on. i'm pretty beat, and i'm not even sure why i'm still up. i'm talking to 2 ppl online right now, but one's in a different time zone and another is just a night owl! but yeah, i need my rest soon. tomorrow will be rest day. i need a back massage. it's killin' me.

alright, sleep time.
