LOTR, KTV and fortune telling fandom

Scheduled post

Met up with the co. for LOTR and the usual KTV at MK’s house a week ago. It is pretty taxing  to watch a 2h plus LOTR movie filled with fighting scenes and ugly orcs. Due to time constraint we only watched the Fellowship. Luckily everyone made the atmosphere light by cracking lame jokes and teasing one another when their LOTR personality appears in the scene. Check out your MBTI and your corresponding character if you are interested here!

Anyway here’s home-cooked food by his mum. Instant noodle, hotdog (okay I seldom eat them cos it is unhealthy but it is the thought that counts), cheese tofu, egg, cherry tomato and bai cai. Porridge for the sick MK. Yes he is sick yet he still played a good host to us. And in return some laughter made him feel more energetic.

Okay since sharing is caring now I shall just post up a few of our crap remarks made during the movie. The best 5 lame jokes to laugh at. Only 5 because it is a moderate amount and to ensure that you wont die from lame-ness after reading.

1. Gandalf vs Saruman fight

There was one move by Gandalf which got us pretty amused. So it happened that Saruman seized Gandalf’s staff and Gandalf  ended up spinning around on the floor in some breakdance position under the control of Saruman. Video link here, start laughing at the 3:04 mark. We were saying how Gandalf looked like a mop wiping the floor and YH decided to make fun of her LOTR identity by saying that he looks like a mop due to his grey matted hair and beard.

2. How to tell Gandalf apart from Saruman

Initially it was kinda confusing to tell both old men apart since they are both old (duh), have long hair and beards, and are tall in stature. (And when it comes to 2 Towers where Gandalf the Grey became Gandalf the White, it is even more confusing cos both are now having the same colored clothing). So we managed to differentiate them by labelling Gandalf as guy with permed hair and Saruman as guy with rebonded hair.

3. One does not simply keep coming up with one does not simply memes whenever the one does not simply guy appears on the screen or…..

one_does_not_simply_meme_by_bubblesbear-d5xifci

One does not simply make his nephew strip in front of his uncle. One does not simply pass on the ring from his uncle to his nephew because it is like cursing one generation after another. One does not simply disappear when his fellows are fighting against the orcs. One does not simply try to seize the ring from Frodo while his fellows are fighting against the orcs. One does not simply die so fast in a LOTR movie. One does not simply die without a goodbye kiss from Aragorn. Yeah you get the idea.

4. Elrond’s elven outpost in Rivendell

Multi-functional, can be a retirement village for the old like Bilbo Baggins, recovery ward for Frodo, 6 star hotel with conference hall and a making out place for Arwen and Aragorn. No stay limit and free of charge. (KY is so generous ^^)

5. Lembas bread

So while the fellowship are preparing their fighting supplies after their visit to Galadriel, Legolas took a bite of the Lembas once he placed them onto the boat. Not secretly since he ate it in front of the 2 hobbits but still that calls for a joke cos he 偷吃-ed (sneakily ate food) while at work. Immediately we went: Whoa MK why you so tam chiak! (means greedy for food). MK’s face: -_-

I cant imagine what will happen if we had a full marathon of LOTR and the Hobbit. Probably laughing until our stomaches burst.

After that sang ktv and the rest got obsessed with tarot readings and fortune telling apps as introduced by YH. Seems like she is living Gandalf’s personality full out by being wise and talk about life and fate. Anyway being me I am not into fortune telling and all but something funny happened over it so I shall make MK a laughing stock now.

The story goes that YH phone has a series of fortune telling apps by app developer 易奇八字 (literally translated means one will be easily amazed with your 8 characters) which asks for your birth date and time and then predicts your life. MK tried to find out his fate and was rather annoyed that he got readings which were relatively less desirable than us. Then he decided to try again under his original name (name changed for personal reasons which I will not disclose) and while helping him do so, YH discovered that MK put his year of birth as 2014 instead of 1993. So for the past 30 mins, he was reading the life of another person who has the same name as him but not born into the world yet! Funny or what?!

Anyway, what is more important is how you change your future for the better, than to take into consideration the advice given by a phone app.

Ending off with a photo of us!

Big thanks to MK for hosting this and cant wait for LOTR 2 and 3 and the Hobbits! (although I watched part 2 yesterday and am watching part 3 while typing this).

Gonna be busy again when the semester starts but I cant wait to study already. Hopefully the decisions I made will be sound.
