thi finally watched "harry potter and the goblet of fire" yesterday night. dad bought the dvd. and well, it wasn't that good. could have given a miss. there was so much that was good in the book that wasn't reflected in the movie. guess the director wasn't a big fan. i give it 2 out of 5 stars. i got so bored with the first half of the movie, i was so tempted to just give up and go to sleep. there was so much nazi/military references. so hollywood-ised. *puke* they sensationalised the appearence of durmstrang and beauxbatons so much. it was gross. and yup, the storyline was kinda weak. i guess if someone didn't read the book, they would have found it interesting. but for ppl like me and bro who know the plot by heart, the movie was kinda a let down. ok, i absolutely loved snape's performance in this one. absolutely beautiful. pity there was too little of him. and ok, cedric was quite cute. reminds me of that guy from "lost" who died. haha!

kk. back to preparing my psych reports. more next time.
p.s. in 2005, NUS ranked 22nd uni in the world and UBC ranked 38. think that'll be good enough for them?

continued in the evening.

just came back from voice class with ruben. it went ok. better than i expected. just me and winnie in the class. i told ruben that my problem is airy-ness. later on, he said that maybe mine is more of a physical problem than a technique problem. cos to him, i'm already using all the proper techniques, but still airy. anyway, he asked me if i ever been to ear, nose and throat specialist. apparently, he had a student once, same problem as me, never been able to lose the airy-ness. her problem was that her vocal chords don't close properly, so air will always flow through, no matter what. and he thinks that's my problem too. but, apparently, the interesting thing is that, when i sang a certain way, some sort of nasal way, he said the airy-ness decreased dramatically. not totally but a lot. weird. yup. so he recommends that i hang on to dear life to this way of singing. erm...ok. it works fine for the lower range. but i'm not so sure for the high ones. to me, it seems like the straining voice way. but hey, he's the voice tutor, so trust him lor.

and i still don't know how to do the mcgurk lab report. damn it.
