Move along.

What a day had it been. I've finally watched finish the latest final fantasy movie FF7: Advent Children. And gosh, they have made a big mistake not releasing it in the cinemas. It one load of a masterpiece. As for myself i am not a fan of the final fantasy series and I had to admit i had no idea about half the movie. But I was so taken in by the stunning graphics and action. Hollywood animators sure have alot to learn from their japanese counterparts. They should move up from kiddy animations to the real thing like what the japanese did.

I praise Japan for being such an innovative country who has risen many times after failing time and time again. Yes I know Japan had a horrible history not worth recollecting, but they too suffered alot from WW2. But to see it rising from nothing to a country where teachnology is king is certainly something worth looking up to. I can foresee Singapore as a nation following in the footsteps of Japan, another smaller nation with little natural resources like Singapore.

I didnt know what got into me last night but i just had an urge to look through all the stuff i keep in my drawer and stuffs lying about my room which lay untouched for a long time. It is then that i realised how fortunate I am to be blessed with so many good friends. It started with me looking through the cards i've collected over the past few years. From there it really contrasted who really bothered and would go the extra mile just for a friend. I am not implying that it is the only way friendship can be displayed by.

Underneath the cards lay my movie tickets. As i glanced through them ticket by ticket, i began to recollect the past movie outings i had. The happy and not so happy times there was. It was so unfortunate that i had lost all my tickets before 2004. =( I guessed i lost my "Lord of The Rings" ticket as well, one movie outing i will never forget. At least i still had "Shark Tale"! Haha.

Besides that i found photographs of the past. The first was the PG camp photos. It's a pity many people from there arent with us today. Next i was reminded of my primary school childhood days of which i had mostly chose to leave behind. Those cute, little innocent faces we wore. People like Maurice who had left for Australia three years ago still remained in the photo portrait we had in primary three. Others included were photographs of the last birthday party i ever had and Ben's birthday party. All this i had once forgotten but now remembered. As i saw myself grow over the past eight years of my life, i can help but say i really really looked dumb and like a nerd! Oh well i guess it still applies for now. :D

Not to mention i found a couple of our dearest youth ministry's bulletin's. Of how we changed from Youth In Action to Revival GENeration. The bulletin has really changed alot over the years. And too reminded me of the happy times back at CHS.

Other odd stuff i had found included notebooks of which i used to draw my own "game". And characters that intrigued my mind. From that i could tell that I as a primary boy was strongly influenced by the games, comics, shows and not to mention the superheros i loved. How weird a character had i been in my primary school days. Maybe i still am. Who knows? One thing that really surprised me was a small letter from clarence wishing me good luck for the PSLE. I also cant believed it's still around or even existed after so long. Thanks anyway! It's been close to eight years we have known each other and he has certainly grown SO MUCH from that cute, innocent little boy to that fine, handsome person he is now. =)

So much has been said in this post it's time i stop. Here are some pictures of the stuff found. Click on them to see the full image. =)
