whoa gena 2 shows on friday with empty climax. 1st show-Ghost Whisperer 2 season finale. damn the storyline was gd man but the ending doesnt solve the whole problem juz that melinda died as the 4 children "saw". she saw the light but her father was blocking it telling her that she is not ready and trying to bring out the evil in her to help the bad spirits etc...and he was quite obviously together with gabriel, who wanted to block the light. the last thing he says is "It's time you realise you have a brother..." before "NOOOOOOO!" as she slips back into the living world. haha so i think its clear that Gabriel is her brother and arch-enemy. see she wants to help spirits cross over while he wants to block the light and do bad things and stuff. and then it ends! the season ends liddat! it doesnt solve the rpoblem of dealing with the strong bad spirits and also not very clear and doesnt explain fully why the ethan's wife's spirit is showing her all the accidents of the past 4 yrs. wlao eh... but it does set the plot up nicely for Ghost Whisperer 3 which im quite sure there will be.
second show Survivor:China. whoa the last part Jeff says "you will not be reutrning to camp directly after this as we have more bussiness to attend to..." right after Frosti got voted out at tribal! thats it! end of show. oh and Amanda likes Erik also! hahaha and so does the 1st member of the jury, Jaime. hehe random.
whoa liddat 2 shows juz left me "hanging in mid-air man".
ah well training went quite well today. i bt yehan 3-1. yay! the tactics worked! but there's still more matches and i'll haf to do my best in all of them in stick to my GAME PLAN.
Oh ya and HAPPY BELATED BDAY TIMTAM! hope u lk my present!

right so i'll do a review on factory sealed today.
below are questions on the trick taken frm the faqs section. the ones in brackets are my comments.
go to http://www.ellusionist.com/product/dvd+training/justin+miller/factory+sealed+coin+in+bottle.do to watch/buy the dvd...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can the coin be borrowed? - Yes(true)
Can the coin be marked or initialed? - No. The point of this effect is the beauty of the visual penetration, not a detective-like examination of the process. That question comes from your mind, not the spectator's. We never heard it once in all the performances that were filmed, and there were a tremendous number of them that were shot.(true)
Can the bottle be borrowed? - No(true, at least E is honest)
Is it necessary for the coin to be marked or initialed? - No. The point of this effect is the beauty of the visual penetration, not a detective-like examination of the process. That question comes from your mind, not the spectator's. We never heard it once in all the performances that were filmed, and there were a tremendous number of them that were shot.(yea yea...)
Can the bottle be from a vending machine? - Yes. When you watch the DVD, dozens of "routine" ideas will flow from your mind. We at Team E continue to create our own personal routines everyday with Factory Sealed and have tons of fun doing so. We encourage you to do the same.(errrr hmmm im not sure cos i dun own the dvd. probably a diffferent version that isnt shown in the trailer.)
Can this be performed point blank right in front of your spectator's eyes? - Yes.(true)
Can it be performed surroundned - Yes ...there is a beautiful version included in the DVD which can be performed completely surrounded, and MAN does it get reactions. It's likely that you will perform this one more than any other version included on the DVD.(true, but im not sure of the surrounded version. unsure of a few steps.)
Can the penetration take place in the dead center of the bottle when performing it surrounded? - Yes.(true)
Is the factory sealed container clear? - Yes, completely.(true)
Can the label be removed? - Yes.(true)
Do the spectators actually SEE the penetration occur? - Yes, the slower the miracle is performed, the better.(true)
Can the spectators hold the bottle as the penetration occurs - Yes, we demonstrate and recommended this to generate a truly astonishing experience for your audience.(true for the surrounded version)
Are gimmicks involved? - No. The effect in relation to its practicality is in perfect equilibrium. An absolute dream effect.(true)
Is everything immediately examinable after the miracle occurs? - Yes(true)
Are gimmicks involved? - No.(true)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ok so here's my review of the whole trick.
one word-GENIOUS!
dun think any1 would have actually thought of using this principle for a coin in bottle. anyw this is seriously genious and realy realy practical have only shown it once so far and it gets really great reactions. that was on dominic choa. haha he thought it was a slit but that's really not true nor possible. water would spill out is there's a slit right? this is really unlike any CIB i've ever seen...
right so anyone getting the dvd? lend me pls...i juz nd to know the few steps of the surrounded version! i'm VERY VERY sure my idea and principle is correct.

today was fun!
training was ok. lost a 3-2(7-5) thriller to goergy podgy. dang. felt i could haf won man but oh well it was fun! there was this point in the t-break where i lobbed him and he had to to retreat back and my view was blocked and i thought it had double bounced liao so i turned ard(fist pump that kinda thing)and the ball came back and every1 was shouting at wad i was doing. bah stupid point. funny though :D and i actually saved lk 4 match points coming from 6-1 down in the tie break to come back 6-5 but lost in the end. damn the last pt was not well played either. the ball was in my blind spot and couldnt get to it. ah well fun though. and hopefully i can still get a place in starting 11...
so went out with dom, timtam and yan liang aft that to watch The Game Plan. nick tan was suppose to go also but last min pang sei ppl. terrible. irresponsible man last min during training then tell me. wth. IRRESPONSIBLE.
anyw the movie was quite nice but a bit cliche though. quite funny also. and i bought TUNNELS! supposedly has potential to b the nxt harry potter or smth according to the newspaper. so we juz shopped ard town a bit and yea that kinda thing.
haha thinking of going out for another movie soon. anyone?
oh and i'll post reviews on bullet and factory sealed as soon as i find time. bye!
hmmm i think my blog posts are getting more and more boring...

right so class allocations are out! im in same class as hui yao, dom, sky, bin, timtam and a whole lot of other people im close to! yay!
and i think the whole new system of putting all the sp ppl tgt is gna be a BIG screw up. the sch is lk so messed up now. there are lk only 2 classes for each consortium now. dang. i hope the use the old system again man.
c'mon tmr's gna b a better training session...

Yesterday was fun!
training was so-so. wasnt playing well at first but got better after a while. back to my old good form i hope. oh and tan chee wee came to hit with us kay? he's not bad actually lk mayb our standard. so we asked coach to play with him and coahc said he din want! i think coach was juz being polite...
right so went bk to keming for some fun fair thing with nicholas, kenneth, jonathan, yu quan, dominic and somehow wong xun yan. quite xian though i muz say the 6jade ppl haf become more creative with the fun fair games. theirs was lk they had 3 big pieces of cardboard with 3 holes big enuff to put their face through then they stand there and ppl pay to throw wet sponge at them. HAHA cool. yu quan wanted to throw his bball... and i wanted to whack the sponge with my racket. haha. so we saw ms leong and i think she was to busy to talk to us. right so we sat down for a while and talked.
then went to westmall for lunch where we met up with jason who had to go for squash friendly ltr. and i taught yu quan factory sealed! trading of ideas. he gave me ego also a while ago. FACTORY SEALED IS CRAZILY IMPRESSIVE AND REALLY BEAUTIFUL! but there still a step in the 2nd version im still unsure of.
right so went to jonathan's house to play xbox, cluedo and stuff before going to street soccer courts to play soccer. oh and met with jia hao at jmoks house also. haha still as funny as ever... miss his spastic, lame and damn funny comments and actions. HAHAHA.
and soccer was fun to just that it was really hot and tiring. plus somemore i went straight after training leh...
looking forward to meeting with u guys again!
anyw i hope my form comes bakc and i hit top form.

Damn
Training was frustrating for me.
played matches.
i've been playing pretty well for the past week and even monday and okay yesterday.
even coach, jian yi, timtan all said so.
but guess wad?
when it mattered most for the macthes, poof. the gameplay, everything, gone.
played lk shit.
even coach ask me "why suddenly liddat? stress is it? juz relax. c'mon man." after i finished playing with timtan.
yea i probably can't beat timtan outright now but i think it could haf been closer.
but well, things juz dun go your way.
played lk shit seriously. damn. was playing so well for the past training sessions.
i got to buck up my game.
pull myself together.
i dno why i suddenly played so horribly today, after all the past training sessions.
it's frustrating.
