The Melancholy of Gilman

Yesterday was the last day of school before term break. It was the most unepic lesson I ever had. Basically, come to school, for 2 hours of practical, to rot.

Okay, first was presenting assignment(a Perl program that I did to find DNA's reading frames & ORF information), I presented first, teacher said need to make some changes, I did that. Then there was nothing else to do. He went about looking at other people's assignments which was pretty much the same since everyone got a copy of the same codes... LOL, and everyone had to make changes due to some function mistake. And since I already done my changes, I tried doing my Bioperl assignment but was not really fruitful. lol. Then it was over, 2 hours just like that. The rest gave up on making changes to the assignment except for Bikai, where she kept bugging me on how to do. I told her the logic, she dont know. Then I told her the pseudo codes, she still dont know. I cant be spoonfeeding her all the time, so I left her to figure it out herself and I went home. o.o

Oh well, at least yanqi got give us hard candy as xmas and new year present lol. Felt quite surprised she did that really. Liked it very much.

And so I went home to rot for the entire afternoon, took a little nap. Then went back to school at 5.30pm to meet ms yarny, so she can give me a lift to her house to have dinner. lol. If I took MRT all the way to her house it would take more than an hour! and I dont want that .____.

When I was walking to school, I saw Justin, so I asked him why he was still in school, etc etc. He told me Bikai stayed in school to make changes to the assignment till 3pm+ but to no avail. lol. So after that I just continued to school to meet ms yarny.

So on the way to ms yarny house in her car, we talked about some stuff that happened during the past 2 weeks. And it so happened that I talked about my assignment, and about BIKAI! So ms yarny gave me some advices and in the end, while I was using her laptop, I sent codes to find ORF seq and psuedo codes to translate ORF seq to Bikai, as a final attempt to help her with the assignment. And she finally did it.

OH YOU SO LUCKY BIKAI. MUST REALLY THANK MS YARNY. dont thank me. :P

Ya, so after dinner, some sharing and some prayers which ended around 11pm. Eddie, ms yarny and me went to CWP(causeway point) to meet judy to watch "The Day The Earth Stood Still" together :D
I thought the show was pretty nice, I think we all agreed, but tickets were a bit too expensive though. 10 bucks D:

So what's it about? Hmm.. if I were to refer it to an anime, it would be something similar to GURREN LAGANN!! minus the big robot fighting, and all the "I WILL MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE"! Then for a similar movie it would be.. "The War of The Worlds".

This show was less gruesome and chaotic than War of the Worlds, it even had some funny parts here and there. lol. But most of the time we see Keanu Reeves, in his usual black and white formal wear + blazers Constantine look, walking around with that cold, expressionless and serious face. So cool neh! :P

Okay so basically the story is, as u might have guessed, aliens invading earth kinda show. But with a slight difference, the alien(yes 1 only), come to earth to negotiate(not really, more like ask a yes or no question, we arent in the position to negotiate), and depending on our answer, the outcome of our future. This show reminds me a lot about Noah's Ark and The Great Flood, im sure you heard of that, and i find this a very similar adaptation of that concept. It is even mentioned by someone during the show about the Ark. So yea, pretty much about that.

The twist of this show is, the alien came to protect Earth, from another alien race? No. It's to protect the Earth from us. :0

So for the first half of the show, you'll be wondering the true intention of the alien most of the time. And the twist would be revealed somewhere in the middle. From there, it's up to the leading female character, a Biologist, to change the decision of the alien and save the entire Human race from extinction.

Time to have lunch now! Laters!
