first and foremost, this shall be the last entry for this blog till i make a totally new blog with a new address, blogskin and stuff =)

so with that said, my fingers are feeling sooooo lazy, so i shall just give a brief detail of my current life.

recently, i've had a class bbq and it was not bad haha.. I marinated the pork chop and chicken, of course with my mum's help and the response of it seem to be good =D other than that, we decided to go overnight cycling till the next morning after the bbq and although it was rather tiring, it was really lots of fun. btw we had the bbq at east coast, and we rode our bikes to old changi hospital, which is very very very veyr very very very far =/ however, those who decided to went in, excluding me - u guys know how i hate this kinda stuff - wasn't able to because of all the cctv everywhere.

so other that, i've been shopping a lot recently. i'm actually suppose to help my friend to shop out some stuff for prom which i decided not to go, but i ended up spending more than my friend haha

so that's all =)

till i post the new url for my new blog, this blog is official dead.
cheers,
Caleb =D

ok, my parents are gonna be so pissed because i haven't packed my area and cny is in 2 days haha, but apart from that, i've been rather interested in my surname, yes whch is Poon. because i find my surname rather unique, as in it's not as common as others like wong or lee, so i was hoping to find my surname to have maybe some other blood in it haha.

but i found out that i was all chinese after all haha.. look at these two origins that i've found on the net.

Wikipedia
It is said that the present day bearers of the surname "Pun", "Pon", or "Poon" are descendants of the imperial tomb guards of the late and final Qing dynasty in China.

In an ancient Chinese myth it is said that those belonging to the Pun family are said to have stemmed off the ancient slave of the Ming dynasty who bore the name of Ping. Ping however despite his heritage as a slave was said to have been a master of weaponry, and the Father to the vastly unpopular martial arts of Kidomyung. Recognising Ping's talents it is said that the first Khan, Huang Taiji upon his visit as an ambassador to the Ming dynasty purchased the slave from a goods dealer in Chang An.

Later during the early 17th century as Huang taiji ascended to the throne as King of Machu-Jin dynasty it is noted that Ping was given the surname of Pun which carried the entitlements of Manchu-Jins top feudal noble class. After Huang's conquest of northern China, his kingdom was renamed Jin and Ping Pun was named Huang's Chief imperial guard, the only person entitled to any weaponry in the presence of an emperor.

After Huang's death however and the ascension of prince Fulin, Ping due to his loyalty towards Huang taiji neglected to remain in his position of Chief Imperial Guard. Instead he requested permission from Fulin, the first manchu conqueror of current day China the permission to guard the tomb of Huang Taiji. Fulin, admired by Ping's loyalty was said to have created the post of imperial tomb guardian, a post only to be succeeded by those bearing the name of "Pun" (descendants of Ping) in honour of the loyalty of the great warrior.

It is also noted that Ping was posthumously rewarded by a later emperor with the title of "Chief Imperial protector spirit," due to the miraculous preservation of the Tomb of Huang taiji. The story regarding the ancestors of the Pun however is considered a myth or a fable due to the absence of any historical recordings. However certain factual evidence such as the posthumous titling have been found in ancient Chinese historical transcripts.

The Pun family today however are disbanded and the post of imperial tomb Guardian have been taken up by the growing role of science and technology.

YuToPian
The 52nd most common last name in China. There are two main sources of this last name. 1) Descendents of Ji Sun, a son of Zhou Wen Wangs 15th son Bi Gong Gao. Ji was made the duke of Pan in north of Shaanxi, and his descendents are known as the Pans. 2) Came from the last name Mi, a noble family of the Chu kingdom. Later, the Mis changed their name to Pan. Among their descendents, there was a person called Pan Chong. Pan was a judge in the Chu kingdom. When the king Chu Cheng Wang decided to give his throne to his younger son instead, Pan helped the older price, Shang Chen, to seize the throne. This led to the suicide of Zhou Cheng Wang. Because of his contribution, Shang Chen gave Pan the title of the "Kings Teacher", and gave him all the wealth that he had accumulated when he was a prince. The Pan family thus had a very high social status in the Chu kingdom.

hmm from reading these 2 passages, i guess that the Pan or Poon seem to have the noble status, dont ya think? anyway, i found it interesting to know my roots =)

so cheers,

i know that i haven't been blogging lately, and lets just put it as having nothing good to blog. yes, nothing have been good ever since i entered 2008.

first of all, school.
have been skipping thursday and friday classes, or rather fyp (final year project) time, because i have really no more motivation to work on that damned machine and i want to apologise to my team-mates, sorry. haven't heard anything from the tkk award, so i guess we won't even be inside it, and as for techno fair, we're out of it already, and i have got no idea why. that stupid director seem to have cancelled our project out of the event. sheesh. but they gave us bronze for that project, but i'm still kinda pissed that we are out of the fair. why? because we were actually not nominated for it at first, then somehow, we got into it and now they kicked us out and our supervisor don't wanna tell us the real reason.

ok so that's all the sucky stuff about school. while i'm at home, i watched lots of movies and dramas haha. so i shall give some ratings to those shows =)
*all the ratings are upon 5 stars*

movie
Spongebob Square Pants the Movie
hmm, rather funny but not as good as expected from a movie, cause it kinda looked like a normal episode of the cartoon. nothing special =/

Rating: **

Good Luck Chuck
other than the fact that this is an R21 movie, i have not much negative comments on this movie haha. a romance, comedy genre that is not bad but not very good either. worth watching if you want a good laugh =)

Rating: ***

American Pie Beta House
another R21 movie, sorry about that haha. other than being more romance than the normal sex themed movie, this movie is not that good either. characters in this movie are those that appeared in the previous series, American Pie Naked Mile.

Rating: ***

Lady in the Water
hmm, interesting and i find this movie better than M Night Shyamalan's, the village. maybe because it has more mythical creatures and stuff which is my kinda genre haha.

Rating: *** 1/2

drama
Romantic Princess (aka gong zhu xiao mei)
a t-drama that is entertaining and funny. other than me hating angela who is the main actress, the show is rather good. however, this romance, comedy themed drama has a storyline that is not very original. so other that i'll advise you to watch it only when you're free =)

Rating: *** 1/2

so guess that's all i'm gonna blog about.

today's the last day of the year, and since i've decided to stay out from the crowds, i'm here at home now in the midst of watching heroes. hmmm, have got nothing much to blog today actually, other than being addicted to dota again =/ ok i kinda regret installing warcraft 3 lol

anyway, i think i'll just blog about yesterday, where the 7 of us (the regulars), met up for dinner and fun =) first met up with wency to help her shop her stuff, and then we went to meet up the rest at koushin-bo, a japanese buffet restaurant. hmm although it was quite pricey, there was a wide variety of food, and it was quite good =)

after that we went to esplanade to chill for awhile before heading home.

so guys, send me all the photos, thanks =)

hmm, peter pan was telecast today on channel 5. a nice movie and i'm really glad that they showed it =) btw, this movie is more of a romance movie compared to the normal fairytale. the ending is kidna sad though, when everyone returned to the real world except peter pan. but i'll say that it's a happily ever after ending haha.

another great movie which is a bit related peter pan is finding neverland and trust me, finding neverland is a lot better than peter pan. though i can't really remember the plot of that movie, i know that it's about writing a story or something. but whatever it is, Finding Neverland is seriously a very good movie that everyone should watch =)
