Hellloo all my dirty trollops! Okay im just kidding, i'm feeling 18th century pronish today

So anyways, today was a big day. Reading summary, Essay Outline and Seminar presentation all at 8.30 in the morning. We were presenting at the start of the class since Nicole had her cousin coming in to talk about what he does as a indie film maker but more on that later. I think our seminar went well, although maybe Nicole our TA cornered Miriam a little with the questions but other than that, it was good. I'm sooo relieved its over! No need to worry about this anymore! woooooo!

After our presentation, was the supposed highlight of the class, where Nicole's cousin, was going to talk to us about Canadian film and the stuff he does as a film maker. It was really cool that we got the chance to actually interact with someone from the industry. His name was Mark Fennenberg(? i caught it that way) and a really cool person. He looked so much like Nicole. Same shade of blonde hair and same style of spectacles. He talked about how hard it was to get grants from the governement to fund indie films and also a little about his own films and production company. The main part of our discussion was about the perception of Canadian films by Canadians. For me, it was interesting, listening to this discussion about Canadians and their self-hate tendencies in regard to film. Makes me wonder..do Singaporeans have this same tendency? We don't really hate our films and then like it if someone else says its good right? hmm something to think about. There was a lot more to this discussion..but the class ended 7 hours ago and since then i've sat through a 2 hour lecture and basically almost froze while walking back to res.

You know what's coming next!!! The Weather.
Today was the first time since the winter started that i really felt like like dying in the cold. Think it was -30 degrees and wind chill must have been 10 degrees colder. Absolutely. no. fackin'. joke. I was in pain, yes in pain, all the time while walking outdoors. The beanie hat, the gloves, the scarf, no use at all. I was spewing f-bombs all the way to class and back. it was so cold that I just came back to residence after class ended. And my coffee was cold by the time I was back indoors. God, suffer here when it's cold. Suffer when back in SG because it'll be so bloody humid and hot. Very extreme climate change to adjust to.

Watched the fourth quarter of the Superbowl last Sunday. PEYTON MANNING!!!!! Wooo! My favourite NFL player. Indianapolis Colts! I'm so glad they finally got the Vince Lombardi trophy, so now critics can just get off Peyton Manning's back. One thing i noticed, during their trophy ceremony, they:

- Hand the trophy to the OWNER of the team FIRST
-followed by the COACH
- and then finally, the QUARTERBACK

Tells you alot doesn't it? The owner shells out the money, he gets first dibs on the trophy, followed by the coach who yells at the players, and then the player himself, who obviously did all the dirty work on the field to actually get that trophy in the first place.

Three words: Only in America.

In football or any other team sport really, its Captain->Players->Coach. Hardly ever see any owners grabbing the trophies from players. That would be weird. Now i have an image of Roman Abramovich storming the field after Chelsea won any random premiership title grabbing the trophy and screaming: ITS MINE!MINE! I PAID FOR IT YOU BIOTCHES!!! muahahahahaha! okay image out of mind. Or maybe Malcolm Glazer. On to Man United, what a game against Spurs! The best part was when Sheasy played in the GK position for the last 5 minutes after Van Der Sar broke his nose. *sings* O'Shea O'Shea is there any position you can't play? Now that's what i call a versatile player. He has played in EVERY position except striker and that's excused really.

Peyton Manning. The Colts' Quarterback in all his glory.

















And a really funny pic of my fav football player, Schweini!!




Omg i love this pic! Pig year..schweini.. get it?


















I'm really cold. *goes to put on a coat*
