Recap for the past week

I got my spectacles broken because..... one of the most lamest think you would heart off, I walked straight into a wall and hit. I am a idiot

Then, on monday had my oral exam, Mrs Jenny Came to our class to give us a lecture a Aravindhan, I was not happy with her because she kept pinpointing me even though Samuel was the real culprit and I was totally innocent. That night I was full of anger. I also downloaded Malcolm In The Middle series 7 (the last one) that day. It just completed downloading today.

Tuesday I had my Bio test and Compre test. Bio was hard but I mamged to pull it through. English was damn easy even though most of my class mates felt that it was hard.

Wednesday I did nothing much, got back my Bio paper, happy that I got 19/20 and so did many of my classmates. Most of that owing thier success to me as I was the one who summarised the point to them. James and I had the a deal that If I printed 400 flyers for the class booth he pay me $8 for the printing charges but he did not keep to his promise (I will elaborate on that later). Had the compo test during English period and did the title based on temptation (I suddenly feel that Ideas could come into my brain more smoothly like rich creamed chocalte cake then before)

On today, my most disappointing day of the week, I went to school for teachers day celebration. I had promised Jasper that we go City Hall today so that we can by a couple of deck of cards for ourselves but I could because of James. James originally promised me that he pay me $8 for helping him out printing out the flyers but that bastard says today he could not pay because he does not have enough money from the class fund to pay me. He even went on to elaborate the he had not enough money to buy the Cake for teacher's day celebration. But there were two flows in his claim. First one being that he managed to buy the cake when he had not 'enough money for it', second is that Zhi Men just collected the class fund that day before. Since I had not gotten my ten dollars I had not have enough money to buy the decks(I only had $8 with me). Since I was not going Jasper became angry with me(sorry Jasper). Thanks alot James. Played Big Two with Karthick for some while and then went to Jurong Point To get rubber cement but instead got myself PVA glue as rubber cement was not sold there. Later went to my cousin's house and played Xbox 360 for some while. After that my father came over there and me, my uncle, my dad and my cousin when to city hall(I would have gone there with Jasper if James had not cheated on me). My uncle drove us there pretty quickly. Over at city Hall checked out some guitars and amps, and then went to some indian restaurant to eat. Then came back home. I thnk I have chosen a Flying V for myself but I will be going with Gaurav to buy the Guitar. And by the way, Happy Teacher's Day to all of you teachers.

Ok still some of my opinions. First of all, I suddenly became interested in watching Bollywood movies. I watched three of them which I downloaded off the net this week, KANK, Kal Ho Na Ho and Krissh. KANK was Ok, Krrish was Lame but Kal Ho Na Ho was the best, extremely good story. The movie teached me that I should live my live to the fullest because Tommorow may nver come. The movie was set in New York. Excellent Performance by all the cast. Priety ZInta was fine and Saif Alif Khan comedy was funny. Sharukh Khan stole the show as a dieing man who makes a difference in everyone's life, I am also addicted to the theme song. I suddenly also feel that most of the new Chinese Films ( the old ones are good) are full of crap and that Indian films are better.

Lastly, I increasing feel as each day past by that most ofr my class is full of backstabbers and wimps who only try to cover thier asses and not help each other out. The are a few people who I feel are exceptions to this but I don't want to tell who.
Also happy that I am getting my New specs this saturday.

Finally, Happy School Holidays for the students and Happy Teachers Day for all the Teacher's day for all the Teachers who are spying on my blog(I know who you are).

The most accurate Google search in my entire life

This gotta be the most accurate search on google ever. Just type the word Failure on the google search engine and look at the first result. By the its meant to be very funny, just do the search and you would know what I am talking about.

The aravindhan video

I had to remove it cause Gaurav was bugging me, he was afraid that he may get caught by Mrs Ang or something, I couldn't stand his nagging so i removed it.

ellusionist.com VS penguinmagic.com, My opinions

After seeing people over at a hell lotta' magic forums discussing and cursing away our this topic. I felt that I should give out my opinion about this whole damn thing.

First up lets make this clear okay Ellusionist products empahsize on presentation and Misdirection While Penguinmagic products focus on the effect of the trick. Alot of people fail to realize this and thus they go into arguing with each other. Considering the fact that Ellusionist products are based on presentaion, some of them are really simple tricks but which be explained in a few words. But Ellusionist is able to sometimes make DVDs worth than 1 hour of runtime just by teaching you on how to present the trick so that even a trick so simple will just seem like a miracle in the eyes of the audience. Such example will be tricks like the revolution coin vanish and Infusion. Penguinmagic on the other hand, has a totally different approach to this situation, they just focus on the key points of a trick and elaborate on that. Thus, some of the more complicated tricks require set up or gimmicks. And there are also able to elaborate some really complicated tricks like the ultimate ace assembly in less than 20 minutes an yet allow the buyer to almost fully understand the slieghts involved in the particular trick and also how the trick should be performed.

Due to the fact that the companies follow almost totally different approaches to their products, they have their advantages and disadvantages. First lets start up with ellusionist.
Ellusionist- Advantages: - thier tricks are mostly impromptu
- slieghts required for most of thier tricks are not very complicated
- thier videos teaches alot of presentation ideas and also instruction how to misdirect the audience when needed in order to do a move succesfully in the trick.
- Bonus effects are somtimes included

Disadvantages: -Some of thier tricks are so simple to perform that you would want to kick yourself for buying it and feel ripped off.
- Some of thier videos are just boring
- Some times brad christian is not a good teacher at all (there are times when his teaching was excellent.)

Penguinmagic- Advantages: - Thier instruction are short simple and nice.
- free shipping!(US only)
- Oz Pearlamn is an excellent teacher
- Focuses on the key movements only so video are short and sweet

Disadvantages: - sometimes, key movements from certain tricks are not thaught in detail as you are expected to buy them seperately.
- Tricks sometimes would require sleights that are hard.
-The background music in thier videos are not of a wide variety thus make you fustrated if you buy many instant downloads from them.


Conclusion - Well, I have given my opinions, its up to you to choose which is better, but I still feel that both are the same.

Recap of what happened so far

Finally modified my blog to meet my tastes. Happy that I going to a my Tally Ho Viper deck soon maybe today or tommorow. Today is national day so I am kinda happy cos no school for two days. Further Mrs Thong postponed the chemistry test to monday so i got some time to get a break from the hectic studying routine that i was goin' through for the past two weeks.

Yesterday, our whole tamil class had a outing. We went for bowling after having lunch at Mcdonalds. Mrs Subas paid for the whole thing. More than $300! Was very funny over at mcdonalds seeing karthick get stressed because he got really confused over ordering the food. We went for bowling and formed teams. We had Aarthi, Karthick, Jaya, Joelyn and myself in the our team. Joelyn went off early cos she had something on at home. Soon I started doing magic againg and some of the girls felt that my tricks were getting lame ( I really gotto learn more tricks and practice them well). Later walked to the bus stop with Karthick and Aarthi. I took 30, while the other took 240. I did'nt want to take 240 cos i just hate going through the Bool Lay area (dun know why, weird huh?) . Went home, had dinner , then slept.

By the way, I just got a brand new idea to earn big money. I invented a trick last week and i think its quite original. The guys over at magichat said that i should submit the trick to ellusionist.com and earn some cash. Gaurav came to know about the trick and he wants a percentage of the profit and I said ok because he is helping me out in the filming of the video. I came with another idea today, I will practice it and if it is good enuff, I will also submit it together with the previous one. The first trick works like this, i show the audience that both my hands are empty. But by just waving my hands i will make a 2 dollar note appear. Then i will visually change it to a 5 dollar note. Finally i will wave at the 5 dollar note again and it will disappear! Sounds to good to be true right, but it is so simple you will kick yourself if you find out the secret.

Also, I have gotten my posting for my CCA, I am Part A Project Manager. I think this has got to the lamest post ever made, I doubt that Part A s even have projects for me to manage. I currently hating Mr Woon for giving me such a post considering the fact that I have regularly turing up for CCA and taking part actively. What i further submit myself to is the fact the Woon Siong became ASM. I have no grudge against Woon Siong but the guy is one most iregular members of my CCA. All he did was go through Spec course and now he's ASM. P.Vinoth got to become USM(highest post) by the way.

This is my new intro image, reflecting my current affection with my brand new ghost deck.
