Legendary battle

Before we go into the climax of this post, first start with the movie review. Today review will be "mr magorium's wonder emporium"


Well, judging from the weird and long and eaily forgetable name, you know that this movie is going to suck. I tell you, it sucked pretty hard. Being one of the family friendly movie appear in the christmas time, this is one of the suckiest genre movie that I hate. I mean, how many people can remember the name? I sure not many. In the cinema, even though it is in christmas, the cinema was pretty empty despite the crowd lining up for ticket. May be not for this movie, since it suck.

First, start with the character. Seriously, not many character are memorable, because the time was too short for development of character. The joke inside is too corny, sometime too corny that it isn't considered as a joke. The plot also kind of familiar, very common in those fairtale movie or christmas movie, too repetitive. One rumour that I heard, the director was a part-timer until recently got into full-time, this is his first big movie... Big movie? How can a big movie suck? This isn't a big movie, it is a fucking sucking shit movie that cheat on my money. Aboid this movie, this don't even worth the money of getting on DVD/VCD.

Ok, let's get into climax of today post, the legendary battle. 2 days ago, another sparring. The whole thing start with the coach said something to the blackbelt that witness the sparring, the coach said that "let wei kiat fight with the big guy(guo jiang) or joel(another blackbelt), since he like to fight" I was like "huh? Did I said that I like to fight?" I sure don't, but the coach is right, I love sparring. No matter is the juo jiang or joel, I will try to my best and win. I was assigned to fight joel, great, finally got to fight a blackbelt. Seriously, last week sparred with guo jiang seems to be a little harder than joel, in terms of power. Joel although got more speed, but I can catch up with him and exchanged kicks. May be it is just me or what, some how I think that joel aren't too strong, no pressure nor difficulty in fighting him. Like both of us are at the same level of skills, shiok lah. The whole thing end with both of us try to give each other the final blow and we both quick shift to our right, then the command of stop was heard, the sparring was over. What? So fast? Never mind, at least I know I'm as good as a blackbelt, now can train harder to win next time, own blackbelt.

christmas eve

Yesterday went to orchard road for christmas eve with boss, L, bob, erwin and KK. We went to cineleixure(sp?) and watch Mr magorium's wonder emporium, I will review this movie in the next post. After the movie session,we took some pictures and then we went for dinner. Bob and erwin drink a bit and they look a little red already. Chit-chatting in the food court for some time while I'm drinking the good old coffee, then we decide to buy some drinks, which happened to be alcholic drinks. Well, I don't drink, so I bought milk, any way I need calcium to prevent me to get some serious injury when I do training. We chit-chat at outside singapore power building, near youth park. We talked about each other dark secret that was actually not meant to let other people know. In that chit-chatting session, I knew something was going on BIG in yishun. It is not good to tell here, so sorry. Bob had to go for meeting up with friends and I happened need a lot more time to reach home, so me and her went off first. On the way to the station, we saw gang fight. Not really is a fight, because it is a guy got beaten up by more than 10 people. Don't ask me why never help, there are a lot of people just look at the beating. Some more if I stop and they pissed off and aim at me how? I know I practice martial arts, but I can at most fight with 5 or 6 to the maximum, not more than 10. Some more bob is over there, I can't get her into trouble too. So sorry to the guy, sorry.

OWNING!!!

Yesterday got another sparring, before you guys ask, I always update a lot on sparring. It is because that after every sparring, there are new results/lesson learnt. This time, I sparred with the same guy that let me flew last time. May be it is due to the wushu training, I am more agile and I can see his movement like slow motion. I land quit a lot of hit on him and so he did the same thing. He did one final side kick* on me, but he ended fly back for about 30cm. I got a big ? above my head, what did I do? He claimed that he feel like he is kicking the wall, so he flew back, ok.... May be it is the wushu training that helped me to stablise myself more.
*side kick


Then I fought with one young but big kid, he claimed to me last week that he can beat me, I said try me. In the end he lost to me, so this week he ask me to give him chance to practice those kicks in sparring, so don't hit him too hard and fast, I said ok. I let him kick as much as he want throughout the first minute of the sparring, he is good enough to kick even when he is about 1m away from me, he really don't know how to measure the distance, the rest of the time, I just play dodging game with him. After that one minute, I start to attack and shout to pressurise him once in a while. He cannot take my side kick, even he is bigger size then me. One final front kick from me, when it landed on him, some how he slant his body and my tip of the shoe hit his chin. I can assure that not hard, because I already pull back when the toe hit his chin. But he just fell down after got that hit. When coach asked about any injury, he said that he almost suffocated by that hit, I was like "huh?". It's not hard, it is just a tap on your chin and you emphazise so much. Then after the class, the father come complain, lucky that the coach know how to deal with it. But that guy is really a wimp, really a wimp. When I shouted, he startled like a sissy, his kick can't even hit me, not hard enough to inflick damage, he still cannot take my hit even with his bigger size than me.

That is all folks, I don't know when will there be a game review, but do look forward to it.

enchanted

Yo, it has been a while since I update, so here it is. Today will not be a game review, but it is a movie review. This movie is "enchanted"



This movie is good, at first I had some doubts, but I never regret of watching it.

The movie was about a girl fell to the real world from the fairytale world, all done by the evil queen who want the girl to leave as far from queen's step-son, edward. The girl(giselle) did quite a lot of jokes in the movie and I laugh my way throughout the movie.

The songs in the movie are good too, one of the few times that I find the song in a movie nice.

The movie also tries to portray the idea of true love and fairytale can be true and stuffs. Well, I have to agree that fairytale are just fairytale, it won't appear in real life. But, it will appear only in one condition...Yes, love. The only fairytale will only appear when love blossomed. I am now waiting for the fairytale to come true.

In short, go watch this movie, you won't regret it.

Before it ended, I would like to review a tv show. Well, what kind of tv show I like to watch, toku. I'm going to review one of the 3 greatest toku, kamen rider. This series I just watched is the latest franchise of it "kamen rider den-o"



I also had doubts when start to watch this, thought that it might be very boring. But I was wrong, it was cool. It got a different charm from ultraman, yet both of them attracted me deeply.

The story was about a normal guy, with extraodinary bad luck, weakly build being chosen to be den-o, guardian to defend the time flow from the invader in the future. It was kind of fun to see how he fights while he was not up to it. He has to be possess by imagin, the future people that don't have body in present time, in order to henshin. He was possessed by 4, although not all at the same time. It is funny, yet show how a normal people stands up to fight evil. Go watch this too, it is cool.
