Christmas holiday movies

I caught 2 movies in a row, one with my bro and one with my bro and my cousin(along with his girlfriend). So what movie I watched, I will review them here.



This first movie that I caught with my bro, it is "bedtime stories". It is about a man, Skeeter, whose father operated and own a motel. But due to financial problem, he had to sell it, under the condition that skeeter have to run the hotel when he grows up. Well, skeeter did work in the hotel that was built after the person bought it, but he work as a plumber. One day he had to baby-sit his sister's children while she went out of town for a week. The kids are used to have bedtime story before the sleep. Skeeter told them one during the first night, the kid added sometime into the story, so the ending sounds happy. In the next day, skeeter found out that what ever was said in the story by the kids, it came true. On the same day, he got the chance of meeting the boss of the hotel. The boss said that the new hotel's theme and skeeter mentioned that the theme was outdated. The boss give him a shot, if he can come out with a better idea, he will be the manager of the new hotel. He decide to make use of the strange phenomenons that the bedtime story told to the kid to gain the position. Although in the end he got the position, he was fired moments later due to something(avoiding spoilers). I would now talk about the ending, it is predictable, what you expect from disney movie? Sad ending?

Second movie, yes man.


This movie is about a loner who says no to anything that comes to him, even his buddy asking him out. One day, his old classmae asked him to attend a seminar that ultimately changed his life, that is to say yes to everything that comes to him. Because of this, he finally found his love and finally got to become a sociable person, got into high rank in his bank office. Well, in the end, it is still a holiday movie and it has, of course, happy ending.

Basically, both movies are very funny, but they suffer the same error, jokes get old. This is very obvious in "Yes man", almost all the jokes had been used before. But, they are both very good movies, I give them 7/10 for "Bedtime stories" and 6.5/10 for "Yes man". Catch them if you got the chance, will give you a good laugh.
New post, I will review a series of movies starring my idol, donnie yen.

Movie review, bolt

Ok, this is a disney movie, so it is a kid movie. Yet, it attracted a lot of people to watch it and include me.

This movie started a dog, bolt, with a girl, penny, trying to save her father from an evil organisation. The father knows the girl will be targetted, he altered bolt's gene and make it a superdog. So there is a dog-bike-chopping chase scene and then bolt bark the shit out of the thugs.

You thought this is an action disney movie, oh no, you're wrong. These action are jst a filming of a tv show. Bolt believe that everything and his power is true and people are trying to catch penny. Until one day that after a shooting end with penny really got caught. The manager of penny don't allow her to see bolt to let bolt continue to believe everything. Bolt escaped the studio and accidentally got to NYC. From there, he team up with a cat, mitten and a mouse or something, rhino to get back to hollywood. In the mean time, he noticed that everything is fake and so do his power.

Finally he got back to hollywood and some shit happens, he got back with penny with mitten and rhino, becoming pets of penny's.

I had to say the graphic are pretty good and the voice acting are pretty good. Well, what you expect for the disney movie? But I got one thing to say about the plot, it is very similar to Toy story by pixar, in fact, I think the plot is exactly the same, just with different character. Toy story is about a toy woody and buzz got lost and then a kid grab it and claimed his. Then the owner is moving house and then woody and buzz got back to the owner just in time. That is the one thing that I complain, the plot is so similar to toy story that there isn't much originality.

This movie is still pretty good, I give it 7/10 for it. Go watch it if you got the chance.

Argh! pain!

Last sunday, I think I over exert a bit too much during the gym session, I injured my bi-sect(sp). Now it's ridiculously pain if I want to raise my hand higher than the shoulder height. *sigh, 2008 is almost over and this year hasn't been one of the worst year, but it wasn't one of the best. I lost a lot of things this year, I lost love, I lost friendship, not to mention twice. It's seems that I always don't get love, I always can't get a girlfriend that both of us love each other. I'm not being a "love-holic", but it's just too...lonely. I'm always so lonely, even though I always told my buddy that I will not love, martial art is the only thing. But deep down in my heart, I always want someone to love and someone to love me. Can you imagine how lonely to watch a movie alone, to go shopping alone, go playing alone and even walking alone? It's this emptiness that is enough swallow a whole person in and devour them. God, please grant me this small wish, I want to love someone and someone to love me...

Busy, busy and still busy

Been busy recently, tomorrow is my first day in the Film IG, so I'm going to work hard to get better on filming. Talking about filming, last time I talked about taking part in the reflection, an art event in school. So a team need to submit their entry, a short film and then judges will judge which one will win. I didn't win, but it's due to one that there is no "best action design" prize, so I didn't win any one of the prize. I also got not very good comment on the sgcafe forum. I'm ok with it, just a little demoralising when saw it. But, the president of the Film IG invited me to join, to hone my camera skills. Also, one of the organiser said that the judges like the fight scene, one of them is a tv programe producer and might look up to me when they want to film action scene. Although, I never win, but it seems that the reward is bigger and better than the $1000 cash.

Recently not only busy, I don't know what happened to me. When I'm bored, I turn on either python or php to do programming. Although it might be difficult at time, but it is quite fun when I do it.

I am now planning for the last episode of the "dawn of twin vegeance". I'm going to make it big. I might film it in this dec holiday or during the 2 months holiday.

Tomorrow going to watch a movie, will talk about it when I got back home.

Some funny stuff.

Last week, I had my pp presentation, but I also got wushu training. So I brought all the things needed to the training, since iti s before my timeslot for presentation. I changed and went for the presentation just about half an hour before the training ends. I rehearse a bit, then went in to present. Overall, it's a pretty pleasant experience, hope I can pass. After that go eat lunch with bunny and hui han and zi yun. I ate quite a lot that day, damn hungry. No breakfast and then training, restrict from eating stuff until 3+.

Ok, so what so funny is this about. The resul comes out on the monday morning. I happily find my clothes for the day and the pant & t-shirt for training. I search through high and low, I can find it. I'm sure I didn't misplace it, since I'm wearing the same clothes I wore the last time. So, I remember I never bring it home the previous week. Because during that day I opened my bag a lot of times, which should have my clothes, but it isn't there. Great, so I happily left it outside E5 for 3 days and never noticed it. I went to class as per normal, hopefully it is still there, but it wasn't. Made a report at OSC and then I skippede training to go all the way to kallang to buy. Now, warning, the funny part is coming:




I'm sorry to those who can't read chinese. So it is a flyer about buy/sell used handphones. In mandarine, hand is 手 and phone is 电话. For the combined version, a shorter word is used, 手机. In the flyer, it is 手鸡. Direct translation will be hand chicken. I laughed my ass out man, and some more it is in the middle of the street. Then I also come across a sign for a shop. Supposingly it is roast lamb meat. But it is a baby lamb(I don't know the name for it) and it is fat and juicy, I guess. It is writen in mandarine, 小肥羊, which mean little fatty lamb for direct translation. But the sign-board bring it to a new level, there is an english name for it, small feiyang. I laughed again, except for the word small, it is just an english way of spelling mandarine. What the hell, I wonder what if other caucasian see this? I bet it is writen by china people.

finally an update.

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,
