Wow, that is a long time since I update this blog. Well, life seems to get busier and busier as day goes by. Remember last time after I finished filming, the second episode of the short series I'm making. Things had it's way to stuck me in the current state. Well, what I was busying? Monday and friday I got wushu training in school, recently got a performance coming up, the coach want us to train harder. Damn, that will be the first performance of mine in my entire life. And somemore in front of a couple thousands of people, geez, cut me a break.
Wednesday I got taekwondo training as usual. Now I'm getting close to brown belt, which means I am aligible for the tournament. Damned, I can't wait till that day.
Saturday, oh my god, I have to go to my dreadful father's stall to help out. Fuck, I mean I worked there for more than 10 years, who would get tired of doing the same thing over and over again for 10 years?
Sunday I got Japanese class and gym session. Well, gym is one part of the routine, I have to go to gym for whatever reason. Japanese class has been fun too, but too bad that it has been almost 2 years since I sit in a class, holder a pen and taking down notes for 2 hours. To tell the truth, sometime I did fell asleep. The sensei likes to joke, but a lot of the time is just corny, not funny at all.
That pretty much take up 5 days of my week, which means I left tues and thur to rest. But let's not forget, I want to improve both at programming and drawing, which means more time is needed to be used on both. That generally left 0 days in a week for me to rest. The only rest I can get is the slumber every night.
Talk about programming, I really hate PHP programming, especially that faci. She keep giving a message on the face: "you better do something or I'm going to get you fucked up". Fuck, can't she give us a break? Sometime I ask her question, it is equal to not answering since her answer is really vague. Occasionally, the problem for the day is too big to be completed in a day. I mean what the hell is wrong with the problem crafter? Even it can be completed in a day, that would take all the team members together and spend no time eating, drinking, resting and even going to the toilet. Not to mention that the worksheet sucks, it is the most vague worksheet I ever seen in my entire life. If my english teacher during my secondary school time were to see this, I think she would correct everything. Imagine this question.
Now, create a button and allow it to link to this php codes. What do you see?
What the fuck? It didn't even say what are we supposed to do. Create a button and link to the php codes? What can I see? Why not just say: "what can you see at this section?" That would be more helpful. Sometime I just don't want to look at the worksheet except to see what to do for the next step. Fuck this crap, fuck it to hell. I'm giving it both middle finger at full force.
Ok, gotta cool down. FUCK! TOMORROW IS PHP, OH GOD!!!

Money no enough 2
Ok, this time I'm going to post a review about this movie that was said to be one of the best movie made by Jack neo. I want to say something, this movie suck ass and because of one very simple reason, the title. I'll start with the summary of the plot.
There are 3 brothers from different life background. The elder brother, hui, is a low wage worker who everyday works hard just to survive. The second elder brother, qiang, from a rich background and the younger brother, huang, a middle wage boss. All 3 of them strive hard to get as rich as possible, hui eventually joint huang selling some healthy pills with the financial help from their mother. It was a success at first, but later on the pills was tested out to be poison. Qiang on the other hand, faces a problem that the lawyer ran away with their money and cause his to get into serious debt problem. Their mother of course help them out financially, as much as possible. But it is time for her to gone senile. When they finally coped with their debts, now they have to take care of their mother, taking turns. Although they are the sons, but they failed to take good care of her. Soon, they decide to take her to the homes, but the mother collapsed due to sickness. They stayed at the hospital, with the rising of hospital fee, they found trouble with coping it. At one time, qiang's wife and daughter was rushing to get to the location of performance during the 7th month, but they met an car accient and then her daughter was sent to the same hospital. The hospital lack of O- blood for the daughter, as the blood was being sent to the mother for operation. At this crossroad, everyone was crying and arguing for the blood. The mother, sacrificing herself, plug out the oxygen pipe without any one knowing, resulting to her death and the blood was being used to save qiang's daughter. At the end of the movie, the 3 brothers invest in a healthy product again and gain great success...
Ok, this movie, got one very big problem that all movies shouldn't make. THERE ARE TOO MANY CG SCENES!!! I mean, what the hell, this is not a fantasy movie or anything like that, this is a movie reflecting real life problem, which means must be realistic. What do I see here? CG animation here and there, spamming it like hell is going to break lose. If it is about throwing the EPR into the sea, I got no problem about it, but the entire show was filled by CGI. Let me name out a few, the car crashing scene where the daughter flew out, the talisman burning(which paper burns and no smoke, ashes were produced?) etc. I mean, which is there so many 3D animation being involved? There is not need for it, no fucking need for it!!!
*sigh, oh, why the movie sucks mainly because of the title? Let me explain. The movie title, "money no enough 2", should focus on striving/surviving in the money needed world. Take a look at the prequel, "money no enough". Everything was about money and people handling with it. This sequel on the other hand, is more like motherly love. The mother plays such a big role in the movie, not to mention like the later half of the movie. Everything was about how noble mother is or something. The money problem was solved pretty much the first hour of the movie and the later half changed the theme totally. THIS IS FUCKING STUPID!!! I mean, jack was a good director, I give you that, but the theme totally went off after the money problem was being solved, what the fuck!? I'll rate this movie...half star/5. Why half? Well, even the joke inside were pretty old and sometime is just corny,

New class
Ok, it is the third day of the new semester and now then I start talking about it. Well, I was busy few days back then. So basically, getting into a new class every semester is kind of a routine already, I already got used to it and never got emotional at the end of semester like what I did during the first year semester 1. So this new class, it's a pretty nice one. Miraculously, I can remember most of the name of the other people, even though I may not talk to them much in the class....well, for the first 3 days of course. The new classmates are cool, I don't now why, I just think that they are. The faci also good, especially morgan who teaches us python programming. Ben lee rocks too, but he gave me a comment on the first day animation that the design is bad, which is the gave me the heaviest impact. Because my design is bad, yeah, I got to buck up and unleashed my creativity throughout the module.
Few days ago, before the holiday ended, I finally finished the film that was held back for more than half year. Now I'm doing the editing, but it is the most tedious thing I ever did. Why? My adobe premiere pro was unworkable for some reason, now I was resulted to Ulead video studio. But I can say, it is the worst video editing software. Why? IT IS FREAKING LAGGY!!! I mean, window movie maker is even better than it. I was to put a transition at the end of the movie, but the transition can only to be imply between 2 clips, what suck ass function. Not only that, it also got some weird special effects. Although I don't need them, but it's still ok to use. One of the worst thing I hate is how it affect my movie. Everytime there is a movement of the people in the clip, it some sort make the edge of the character to looks weird, like there are lines coming out from the edge. The worst thing of this software, it is fucking lag. Everytime when I scroll the timeline, it takes like fucking 30seconds, yes, I'm not kidding, 30 fucking seconds. I was so angry about it, but the function is more than movie maker, which is what I want. This is bullshit, I almost kill someone because of that. But thank goodness, the video is almost done. Look forward to it then.

W65N BBQ
I keep forgetting to update the details in our bbq, a bit too busy to update, so here I am to update. First I went to bedok to meet with alvin and the company to buy all the things that is needed for the BBQ. Walked around the parkway parade's giant for all the things while alvin wait at the bus stop for puay yek. We bought quite a lot of things, at first we thought that the food might not be enough for so many people, but from what I heard, it seems that the food is a little too much for the bunch of people. After all the shopping, we went to the BBQ straight away. Gues what? We walked for quite a while before we finally reach the place, that was a long way man. When we reach there, me, linus and alvin decide to ride the bicycle that we rented to the 7-11 for some drinks, we were thirsty at that time. We went and bought, when we got back, within like 2 minutes, 2 agent from NEA approach. They claimed that they saw shaq threw 3 piece of tissues on the floor and thus issued a fine to her. We were like "what the fuck?", we just reached there and didn't even start to unpack the ingredient that we got there. We did try to reason out, but one "$10000 fine will be issued if we detain their time to carry their duties" was slapped on our face. We got nothing to saw but to keep quiet...What the fuck is this?
After that thing, we proceed to do some preparation for the BBQ, like unpacking the ingredient and wash it. Then we played some captain ball on the beach, I tell you, that was fun. But one thing bad is that I can't jump much because it is sand, it absorbed most of the forces that I applied to jump. After that captain ball will be the king game, some of the forfeit is ridiculous and some of them are just funny. Then it was evening time, the rest of the people start to come in and then we started eating and chatting. After that eating period again, we play the number game, yes, the same game that me and the the company that went for the NDP. I can't play for long, because I need to go back once my parents came. Guess what, the moment we started the game, my parents called and said that they will come in 10 minutes, what the hell? So I played a little and then I went back.

NDP
Ok, long time never talk about recent life. So yeah, this post is about the NDP outing with my friends.
This year Nation day happens to be on saturday, which means I have to work at my father's stall, but I left like in 4+pm and go to suntect city to meet with wayne and the company. Guess what? I call them a lot of times and none of them picked up the phone, so I loiter around suntect city, trying my luck and see whether can run into them or not. Finally wayne called back and told me that they are at the arcade. Great, I'm at a very far place from the arcade, so I use like 20 mins to get to the arcade and meet with them. We play some games in the arcade and then we go to marina square to find yek. Yek was with her friends, again, at the arcade. Play some more games, then look at linus and fifi play "guitar freak". After that, we head out to find place for a clear view of the fireworks. Finally, we got to the Singapore flyers and sit there to get the view of the fireworks. The fireworks were nice, thank goodness I witness it with my eye, not from the squarish TV. With the end of fireworks, it means the journey for our hungry stomach. We look through everywhere in suntect city, in the end, we ate at pizza hut. Ordered 4 pizzas and couple of drinks and soup. Just few slices of pizza and I'm already full. After he dinner, then we play a number game called "终极密码", it is played like this. The range is 0 to 100, a person will have the number on his handphone or anywhere that can be written. Then the other play guess a number. If the number is wrong, then the range will be shorten. If the person got the correct number, he will have to play "true or dare". We played a little bit at pizza hut then we head outside to continue the game. We asked a lot of....intimacy questions, but I wasn't asked that kind of question, just revealed a secret or 2 of mine. On the final round, wayne got the correct number and then he was asked a question, then he answered with the most classic answer we ever heard, guess it would be a joke for the entire RP life. Finally, we went home.

this is the punishment before the "true and dare" comes in. A cup of plain water with chilli and cheese.
During the fireworks waiting time.
It's pizza time(sounds familiar?):
Next post I will put updates on the BBQ event we had yesterday.

Movie review again
Ok, after this review, I will stop for a while until I watch the next movie. The first movie will be this:
This movie is a new batman movie after the suck ass "batman and robin" movie in the 90s. The movie started off by introducing bruce wayne, the son of a millionair in gotham city. He witnessed his parents being killed in a robbery and that determined him to fight crime. He went to other country and train for 7 years, under a person with very strong sense of justice, rus al gul. At one point, they caught a theif, to them, every crime must be paid by death and the execution right were given to wayne. He reject the idea and then fight the entire school of justice servant, eventually he appareantly defeated rus al gul. He, then return to gotham city, uses the unsed equipment that the military do not want, developed by his company. Design a suit that is capable to glide, spy, eavesdropping, and bullet proof armour covering the entire body, shurikens on the shin, throwing knives at his...belt or somewhere, grappling hook and many more equipments. As wayne fights crime in his night life, he soon encounter scarecrow, which has the equipment to eject fear inducing toxin to an individual. After some researching, rus al gul appear once again in his party. Rus al gul intends to use the fear inducing toxin, co-op with the equipment, capable of evaporising liquid, to destroy the corrupted gotham city. Wayne got himself back into a section of the city to stop rus al gul to destroy the city. Both of them fought in the train, which contain the liquid vaporising equipment. With the help of gordon, his friend in the police department, they finally stop the destruction of gotham city. Sometime after the incident, gordon got contact with batman, telling him there is a criminal that wants to get to batman. The criminal left a card, indicating his identity.
Ok, comment time. This is by far, the best batman movie(2005 perspective). The cinematography and story telling is good. The best part of the movie is the car chasing scene, where batman drives his bat mobile(the tumbler) and outrun the police. The story is darker compared the previous few movies, the batsuits design is badass too. Talking about badass, when wayne became batman, his change his voice to a deeper pitch, which make batman even more badass. Listern to solid snake's voice and you will know it. There are 2 things I want to complain, first: The first hour or so of the movie is too much. Explaining how wayne got the idea of the batsuit, how he train, how he determine to fight crime was way too much, may be don't need that much of the time, just a little bit will do. Also, the movie is a little too long, only if the first hour hour were to be more exciting, it wouldn't be a problem.
Second: The fight scenes are poorly filmed, it was being cut and editing in a way that I can't see what is going on in the scene. Although with the complains, but this is a movie that worth watching.
Second movie I'm going to review will be the sequel of batman begins, the dark knight.
This movie started about the same time when batman begins ended. It started off by showing some robbers robbing a bank, in the end one of them killed the others and took off the mask. It is the Joker, nemesis of batman. Joker went to the mobs' boss to give idea on how to take down batman, although the bosses don't agree it a lot, but since taking down batman is their benefit, why not? Not to mention too many things in the movie, but one thing I can say is that two-face also make an appearance in this movie too.
Ok, there is a very big improvement compared this to the prequel. First thing that got improved is that the fighting scenes are more detailed and well edited, I can see what is happening in the fighting scenes. Second thing is that the props that was used got more and more explosions. The story are nice too, always got plot-twist here and there. One thing I'm very happy about is the joker. Everytime when I think about a clown, it's either a totally funny person or a really scary motherfucker. And guess what, heath ledger did a very good job in portraying a total crazy criminal that don't afraid of anything, just simply crazy. The showdown of joker and batman is always the highlight of every batman movie or series. I say this is the best batman movie ever, hope there will be a sequel to it.

Movie review once more
Ok, like what I said last time, this review will be about indiana jones series. I will leave out "kingdom of the crystal skull", since I review it before already.
This is the first movie of the trilogy. The movie started off by Indiana(let's call him indy) venturing into some tribal ruins with an aquaintance. At the end of the venturing through traps and deadly spiders in the ruins, he finally got the idol of in the ruin, but soon being grabbed away by one of his competitors, belloq. Indy escaped from the chasing tribe people and return to the states empty handed. In the Uni that he taught in, he met 2 army intelligence, who told him that the nazi is looking for the ark of the covenant for great power. One of the key person is indy's former teacher. Indy flew all the way to nepal to find his teacher, but instead he found his former lover, marion, who is the daughter of his teacher. After a gun fight in the var of marion's, he got marion to go to egypt, which is said that the location of the ark is at. With the help of his friend and many puzzle solving, gun fights and chasing, indy found the ark, but was again taken away by belloq. Chasing after the nazis' submarine, they reach an isolated island for a ritual to open the ark. Surprisingly, marion was being captured by the nazis and held hostage, indy has no choice to give in and follow them to the altar. At the altar, belloq conduct the ritual and open the ark. What was inside the ark is very surprising, I think it is something that's powerful, it eliminates all the nazi soldier over there, belloq and the commander. Only indy and marion survived because they did not look at the ritual, so the power inside the ark didn't kill them. Indy brings the ark back to the states, the army lied to indy that the ark is under researching, but it was being stored in a warehouse that contain multiple supernatural artifacts...
This movie is a good one, puzzle solving and jokes, it has everything that you want in a movie. Regarding of the action part, I think still can be improved, like the punches didn't make contact. Some might not notice it or care about it, but I care and noticed it, so it can be improved. I'll give 4 star for this movie.
Second movie, indiana jones and the temple of doom. This is a prequel to "raider of the lost ark", it started off in shanghai, where indy found the remain of the first manchu emperor for his client. But it seems that the client don't intend to pay indy, a huge diamond. In the end, a gun fight happens and then indy was poisoned by the drink he just drank. He mananged to grab the antidote from the client and then grab the girlfriend of the client as hostage to escape. Indy and the girlfriend, wilie drop onto indy's side kick, short round's car and then escape to the airport. They boarded the train, never noticed that it is the client's company plane. The pilot parachute off the plane while indy and the company was taking a nap. Indy woke up and decide to land on the ground, using inflatable boat with willie and short round. They noticed that they were in india and was in a village which all the kids were being grabed by the king in the castle of pankot, along with the village sankara stone. Indy in order to repay them, he decide to head into the castle. Upon reaching the castle, indy meet many officials and royals, including a british navy captain. After many investigation, he found out that the castle is the fortress to a cult, doing human sacrifices. Even indy got brainwashed and nearly brought willie to sacrifing, until short round woke him by torching him a bit. Indy in the end escaped the castle by a mine trolly track with willie and short round, then encounter the chief of the cult at a hanging bridge, which has dozens of crocs under the it. Doing something crazy, he cut off the bridge supporting rope and managed to get the chief down into the river, resulting into being torn apart. The british navy later then came in to arrest the rest of the cult member. Indy return to the village with the kids and the sankara stone, happy ending....
This is one of the not so good indiana jones movie. All the other movies, indy fly from countries to countries looking for the artifact. But this movie is just in a castle saving kids, not find artifacts. It is still good, but not really good when compared to the other indiana jones movie, just a bit too goofy. I will give 3 star for this movie.
Third movie, indiana jones and the last crusade. The movie start off by explaining how indy got his hat, I wonder what has it got to do with the plot? I know that the hat is one of the most important thing of indy, but why need to explain it? Anyway, indy was still looking for artifacts and all, until a man told him that indy's father disappear when looking for the holy grail and the nazi seems to be involved in the disappearing, Indy is determine to find his father. First start off at venice, he discover the clue and then head to germany for an important diary to get to the location of the holy grail, he found his father along the way too. Just like the normal Indiana jones movie, indy got held by the nazis as well as his father and sallah, the man that helped indy to find the ark. Indy have to solve the puzzle in the ruins that contains the holy grail. He solved it along with the nazi commander, enter the chamber that contain the grail. Only one grail is the correct one, drinking the holy water with the wrong grail will result to death. The commander chose the wrong one and indy has to pick one. Of course he choose the correct one, using it to save his father who suffer from fatal gun wound. If the grail left the seal of the temple, the temple will collapse and the effect of the holy grail will fade. That is what happened, resulting all the nazis to crash in the temple, left indy and his company alive...
This is so called the last of the trilogy of indiana jones. This is a good movie, a good end for the trilogy. The love of father and son, the action scene(excluding hand to hand combat) and jokes, all was enchenced from the first one, making it one of the most perfect movie ever. I give it 4.5 stars.
Next movie reviews, let you guess, a few recent movies.

In the Uni that he taught in, he met 2 army intelligence, who told him that the nazi is looking for the ark of the covenant for great power. One of the key person is indy's former teacher. Indy flew all the way to nepal to find his teacher, but instead he found his former lover, marion, who is the daughter of his teacher. After a gun fight in the var of marion's, he got marion to go to egypt, which is said that the location of the ark is at. With the help of his friend and many puzzle solving, gun fights and chasing, indy found the ark, but was again taken away by belloq. Chasing after the nazis' submarine, they reach an isolated island for a ritual to open the ark. Surprisingly, marion was being captured by the nazis and held hostage, indy has no choice to give in and follow them to the altar. At the altar, belloq conduct the ritual and open the ark. What was inside the ark is very surprising, I think it is something that's powerful, it eliminates all the nazi soldier over there, belloq and the commander. Only indy and marion survived because they did not look at the ritual, so the power inside the ark didn't kill them. Indy brings the ark back to the states, the army lied to indy that the ark is under researching, but it was being stored in a warehouse that contain multiple supernatural artifacts...
This movie is a good one, puzzle solving and jokes, it has everything that you want in a movie. Regarding of the action part, I think still can be improved, like the punches didn't make contact. Some might not notice it or care about it, but I care and noticed it, so it can be improved. I'll give 4 star for this movie.
Second movie, indiana jones and the temple of doom. This is a prequel to "raider of the lost ark", it started off in shanghai, where indy found the remain of the first manchu emperor for his client. But it seems that the client don't intend to pay indy, a huge diamond. In the end, a gun fight happens and then indy was poisoned by the drink he just drank. He mananged to grab the antidote from the client and then grab the girlfriend of the client as hostage to escape. Indy and the girlfriend, wilie drop onto indy's side kick, short round's car and then escape to the airport. They boarded the train, never noticed that it is the client's company plane. The pilot parachute off the plane while indy and the company was taking a nap. Indy woke up and decide to land on the ground, using inflatable boat with willie and short round. They noticed that they were in india and was in a village which all the kids were being grabed by the king in the castle of pankot, along with the village sankara stone. Indy in order to repay them, he decide to head into the castle. Upon reaching the castle, indy meet many officials and royals, including a british navy captain. After many investigation, he found out that the castle is the fortress to a cult, doing human sacrifices. Even indy got brainwashed and nearly brought willie to sacrifing, until short round woke him by torching him a bit. Indy in the end escaped the castle by a mine trolly track with willie and short round, then encounter the chief of the cult at a hanging bridge, which has dozens of crocs under the it. Doing something crazy, he cut off the bridge supporting rope and managed to get the chief down into the river, resulting into being torn apart. The british navy later then came in to arrest the rest of the cult member. Indy return to the village with the kids and the sankara stone, happy ending....
This is one of the not so good indiana jones movie. All the other movies, indy fly from countries to countries looking for the artifact. But this movie is just in a castle saving kids, not find artifacts. It is still good, but not really good when compared to the other indiana jones movie, just a bit too goofy. I will give 3 star for this movie.
Third movie, indiana jones and the last crusade. The movie start off by explaining how indy got his hat, I wonder what has it got to do with the plot? I know that the hat is one of the most important thing of indy, but why need to explain it? Anyway, indy was still looking for artifacts and all, until a man told him that indy's father disappear when looking for the holy grail and the nazi seems to be involved in the disappearing, Indy is determine to find his father. First start off at venice, he discover the clue and then head to germany for an important diary to get to the location of the holy grail, he found his father along the way too. Just like the normal Indiana jones movie, indy got held by the nazis as well as his father and sallah, the man that helped indy to find the ark. Indy have to solve the puzzle in the ruins that contains the holy grail. He solved it along with the nazi commander, enter the chamber that contain the grail. Only one grail is the correct one, drinking the holy water with the wrong grail will result to death. The commander chose the wrong one and indy has to pick one. Of course he choose the correct one, using it to save his father who suffer from fatal gun wound. If the grail left the seal of the temple, the temple will collapse and the effect of the holy grail will fade. That is what happened, resulting all the nazis to crash in the temple, left indy and his company alive...
This is so called the last of the trilogy of indiana jones. This is a good movie, a good end for the trilogy. The love of father and son, the action scene(excluding hand to hand combat) and jokes, all was enchenced from the first one, making it one of the most perfect movie ever. I give it 4.5 stars.
Next movie reviews, let you guess, a few recent movies.
