Movie Junkie

I was all prepared to go all ape over my new obsession of the past 2 days, but then it decided to go irritating on me, and now i'm a little fed up. Sigh. Good, but just not good enough >.<

Anyway! let's get to storytelling! Saturday had rehearsal in the morning as usual, and was going to meet the guys at Siglap for lunch. We were at KFC laughing over army stories, and congratulating varun on his OCS achievement (stupid kid is scared now! haha) and talking about Eugene's 'adventure'. heh, shan't give it away, go ask him yourself. Anyway, caught up just like we used to, and then left to go down to Parkway Parade to spend our afternoon.

We made a slight detour to Video Ezy (heh heh) and there was the $3 VCDs sitting there, calling out to me like a clarion call... at first i wasn't gonna get anything, even though it was only $3, but then! something caught my eye! Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan! after hearing how Gku Gku and Mom gush all over how good it was, i had my curiousity perked, and was quite intent on getting it! so since i was ready to get 1, why not make it 5? and woo, just like that $15 was spent, but getting some cool movies, like Batman (the Tim Burton, Jack Nicholson one!), The Girl Who leapt through Time, The Leap Years and The Singing Detective (it was mainly for the stellar cast of Robert Downey Jr, Mel Gibson and the likes).

At first i was thinking that VCDs aren't that practical now, since on the home theatre it won't have good quality picture and sound, and besides, the computer running it is kinda spoilt, so no point right? WRONG! it struck me, that i could finally install my mp4 player CD to convert the VCDs into clips for my Player! then i can watch movies on the go! just like those IPod/IPhone bastards :D Sure, my screen may not be as big, but its good enough to pass the time and take those long rides, its better than the same old music i've been hearing time and time again XP So Sat night was spent converting files and uplouding 1/2 movies into the player, 2.1 GB isn't that much space, especially when i'm trying to squeeze in songs as well...

By why stop at 2 GB? The brilliant thing about my MP4 player is that it can accomodate microSD cards as external memory as well! woo~ so this morning when we went out to run errands of settling Matthew's phone, and changing ownership of my number, i decided to pop down and get myself another microSD card! to chock my player with more space and MORE MOVIES :D Finally settled on an 8 GB microSDHC for a reasonable price of about $40 and couldn't wait to get back to shove all those movies in! (I found an old George of the Jungle VCD! i loved that movie, hilarious shizz XP)

And i've been home for quite a few hours now, and this is the turnaround point, the damn microSDHC doesn't seem to be compatible with my player >.< sigh... its not even compatible with my com! it can't read the card at all! so i dunno, may have just wasted $40. maybe i'll chuck it into the Wii system Downstairs instead, maybe it'll be more effective there? But before that i'll continue trying to get the thing to work. maybe with a little upgrade here and a filesystem update there, there's hope that the card might work? will just have to try tomorrow i guess, for now its a tad too late to do all that.

I'm quite the movie junkie i realise. no i wouldn't pay for the movies, and i'm not a crazy fan of watching online, but somehow i get wind of many movies, maybe i should consider investing more in getting VCDs to put into my player... hm... haha.

another week of things ahead, can almost count down to production day. Will have to make a bunch of arrangements this coming week, hopefully not too much clashes with other plans. haha, but it sounds like a tiring week already.

Oh well, gonna have live run tmr, so shouldn't sleep too late, gotta have the energy to go for it, especially since i haven't gone for a WHOLE WEEK, hopefully i don't collapse tmr, haha. my weights not really moving, that's troubling, need to go down further! especially if i'm not eating any carbo for lunch and dinner (oh, rice, how i miss thee!) sigh, must pass IPPT! haha, goodnight ya'll!
