Red Cliff Part 1

Synopsis: With a budget of US$80million, "Red Cliff" is the most expensive Asian-financed film to date. The movie is based on historical records of "The Chronicles of the Three Kingdom" rather than the novel, "Romance of the Three Kingdom". In the early third century, the land of Wu is invaded by the warlord Cao Cao and his soldiers. The ruler of Wu, Sun Quan (Chang Chen), calls on the rival warlord Liu Bei (You Yong) for help, but their two armies are still badly outnumbered. However, the strategists Zhou Yu (Tony Leung) and Zhuge Liang (Takeshi Kaneshiro) see that Cao Cao's army is unused to battling on the sea. With 200,000 men, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang defeat Cao Cao's army at the Yangtze River. [Source: Yahoo! Singapore Movies]

Unable to resist the temptation, I set up another movie session with boss on Friday. This movie really live up to its budget spent. The 2 battle scenes was breath-taking and indeed left a deep impression in my mind upon seeing it. I salute the director and the actors for making the fighting so life-like and real. On another note, the portrayal of some of the characters in the movie did not go well with me. Zhuge Liang shouldn't be saying cold words all of a sudden, and he should look more intellgent. Zhang Fei should be more fierce in battles and not look comical when he is fighting. Overall, I find this movie not bad nonetheless. I can't wait for its second installation to release. Maybe partly is due to my liking for war movies~ =p

Commencement 2008 (090708)

Its the time again where hardworking students finally achieved the qualification they are working for. Soon, they will be opening a new chapter in their life, starting on a new journey into the working world. Next year will be my turn, anticipating and yet fearful of the unknown journey ahead. Nevertheless, congratulation to the graduating class of 2008.

Congrats on attaining the scroll!! =)

All those who are present that day to celebrate the joyful occasion.

~Congratulation on graduating, *mds* *kiss* =) Hope you had a wonderful evening~

Happy Bday TL (060708)

Happy Bday TL!!! Haha, must remember to thank Seb and YL for organising the event wo~ It has been such a long time since the whole group went on an outing together, and it has been an extremely hard chance where everybody turns up altogether, though someone came extremely late...(Hmph). Happy to meet up with old friends, chatting along and catching up, as deep down in my heart, I know we will not have the luxury of time to do these things again once we step into the working world. Thus, we must treasure every time that we had together!! =) While waiting for the queue to reach our turn, our old habits led us to do our usuals......

. 自拍！！！YB skills still is as good as ever~

.

Initially, the group decided on Cafe Cartel but since there is another group of 7 people in front of us waiting in the line, we decided to give it a miss and try this MOF. I must say that I did not regret my decision for the last minute switch of restaurant. They really serve good Japanese food. Yummy!!!

.

See the 2 booklets on my left?? Its their menus!! The red one is for the main course while the green one is for the deserts. My humble advice here: Give the Japanese deserts a miss. I am not really used to their term of "deserts".

And a beautiful night to end the day

When will we meet again?

Hancock

Synopsis: Will Smith plays an alcoholic superhero named Hancock, somebody that absolutely everybody loves to hate. Hancock's well-intentioned heroics might get the job done and save countless lives but always seem to leave jaw-dropping damage in their wake. One day, he saves the life of PR executive Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman) who helps to rehabilitate him. However, Hancock begins to have an affair with the publicist's wife, Mary (Charlize Theron) instead. [Source: Yahoo! Singapore Movies]

Impromto meet up with boss yesterday to catch this movie at Century Square. Boy, how long has it been since I last set foot in this cinema?? 5 years?? I still find that this cinema has the best seats available. The soft cushion seats that sets you in a relaxing mood to enjoy your show. Ok, enough of side-tracking, now back to the movie. I find that this is just another comedy flick that have absolutely no plot but lots of nonsense scenes and jokes. Though there is a big twist somewhere in the middle of the movie, but if you have some spare cash available on a weekday and seeks somewhere to de-stress, you can give this movie a try.

Round up for last week

It has been a tiring week, nevertheless to see green all day round and maybe occasionally do a little blood donation to the pesky mosquitoes. Going back to Jurong Camp 2 has been a dread, especially so when the place is situated somewhere out in Jurong West St 93 and I happened to stay in the east and whats more, to be caught in a jam at KJE early in the morning at 7am. -.-!! Not a good start, I will say. But to see all the familiar faces once again, all my bad mood disappear. Doing catch up, remembering all the tough days we have been through together, these guys are really a fun and great company to be with. Thanks JY, for bring me the T-shirt all the way from Old Trafford~ =)

.

Fast forward to the Saturday tech mob in Maju Camp. Its helps us to orientate to the camp on what we should do in the case that we are mobilised. It has been great to see Lumpy who have not join us for the past 3 ICT due to studies in poly, which have a different timetable from university. And it has been a dread to see a certain person still in our battalion. I certainly wonder why is he still in our platoon, since he failed the scout course, don't know how to drive any vehicles, been known to tell lies, been known to steal money, shower foams and ET sticks from our own people. And I wonder.. is he really a guardsman? Well, 4th ICT, my combrats, see you all then....

~*mds* hope you have a happy day today =) Correct situation, correct timing, I shall look for~

Back to civilisation

It just feels soooo good!!!

The End?

Finally, the day has arrived to say goodbye to my IA at CPG Laboratories. Thanks to all the personals in my department for I have learned much about civil and environmental testing in the past six months. One only regret is that I will not get to see and use the new ICP Spectrometer!! Hmm, holiday job next semseter?? Oh well, what next after IA?? Think the LCK jungle is calling me to join them for a 1 week chalet.....

Salary

A recent trip down to the HR to sign some document for the out-process of my IA reveal some rather disturbing fact. Out of curiosity, I asked the personal roughly how much a degree with honours holder salary is like? I guess $2500 but to my surprise, he say the company can't pay a salary like that. At most it will be just around $2000. In addition, they do not care whether you have honours or not, the basic principle is: You are a degree holder.....I certainly hope the rest of the private sector is not like that, or else, what is the use of studying 4 years??

Life Cycle

My colleague has once again set my brain thinking about his theory of life. He said that humans are born to work, and work till they die. We should not retire so early because it will cause a gap in our life. In the morning when we woke up, what is there for us to do when there is no work? Nothing. The only thing it will do to us once we retire is accelerate our death. When human cease to work his brain, they will die faster. Is that true, I wonder... But then, I find there is a cure of what we can do to work our brain once we retire. Majiong anyone? =p

.

Again, his theory on human life cycle. He said that there should be 3 life cycles for everyone generally. The first would be from 1-25 years old, where we spent most of our time studying. The next would be from 25-50, where we work our butt off to build our career. The third? That would be from 50-70, where we strive for a new career. Wow, that would definitely make Singapore Government very happy~ Hmmm

Sex and the City

Synopsis: Follow the adventures of Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) four years after the series ended as they continue their lives in Manhattan. Along with original characters such as Mr. Big (Chris Noth), Magda (Lynn Cohen) and Steve Brady (David Eignerberg), Academy Award Winner Jennifer Hudson joins the cast as Carrie's (Sarah Jessica Parker) new assistant. [Source: Yahoo! Singapore Movies]

.

Truth be say, I have never watch one season of Sex and the City before, but overall, I find this movie quite enjoyable, in a humourous sense. The actors compliment each other well, going about gossiping, talking about anything under the sun, including the topic: "sex". They are in the movie talking to each other and suddenly, one of them just say, when was the last time you have sex with your husband? I was like....., well, its SEX and the city, I supposed, but still, I think they could have cut off some of the sex scene. =p. Character wise, they are all individuals with their unique character. Its a joy watching them explore and play out their roles in the movie. One of them craves sex all the time and indulge in expensive stuffs. Diamonds, LV, Gucci are all a must. The lives of the upclass Americans... Oh well... Not a bad movie to watch, and try to enjoy the humour in the movie. One last thing, watch out for the dog~ ;p

It has been a long while

How long has it been, since we last met? Let me recall.... Since ....6 months ago? Time really flies, it seems like yesterday that we just got to know each other from FUGA, then becoming counsellors for SERVAL. It seems like yesterday that I just got into university and have all the time in the world to go outings every few weeks. And now, looking around, some of us are graduating already. Time really flies....

.

Anyway, GZ, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Thanks to Fabian for organizing this outing, gathering people from FUGA, SERVAL and STAINBOY. Went down to NYNY to have our dinner, but well, most of them are late.... H@iZ, they just can't change the bad old habit huh? =p Hmm, one comment though for NYNY: For the price, its not worth eating in there. Astons serve cheaper and better food... *bleah* But well, its the company that counts~ =) Really have a good time catching up with you guys and gals.

Haha, GZ, take care for your exotic grad trip~ =) Till next time, you still owe me one meal~ =p

Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull

Synopsis: Indiana Jones is enjoying a quiet life teaching before being thrust back into his old adventuring. He races against agents of the Soviet Union for the crystal skull. His journey will take him across New Mexico, Connecticut, Mexico City and the jungles of Peru, as well as the warehouse from the end of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", where numerous treasures including the Ark of the Covenant are kept safe by the US government. [Source: Yahoo! Singapore Movies]

.

I only have one word to say: "Awesome!!!" No wonder they took 10+ years to find a good enough plot to cast the final adventure of Indiana Jones. There are plenty of fights and escape scenes that will keep viewers intrigued as Indiana cross swords with the Soviet KGB. He just can't seem to die as he dodged bullets after bullets and maneuver around all the dangers. One scene that left a deep impression in my mind will be the escape attempt of Indiana from a Atomic Bomb test. Imagine hiding in a lead fridge?? A "Lead" fridge in the middle of a dead town?? *lol* Enjoy the beautiful mushroom head cloud afterwards. With aids from the computer CGI, this brings the movie to another level, particularly so towards the end of the movie with the alien encounter.

.

Despite all its good, I find that the pace of the movie is moving too fast as Indiana tackle past ancient puzzles and riddles at amazing speed. Sometimes, I just can't get how did he arrive at such a conclusion. Well overall, I find this not a bad movie to watch. A worthwhile recommendation from me.

What lover are you??

Your Score: The Devoted Lover

72% partner focus, 33% aggressiveness, 45% adventurousness

Based on the results of this test, it is highly likely that:

You prefer your romance and love to be traditional rather than daring or out-of-the-ordinary, you would rather be pursued than do the pursuing and, when it comes to physical love, your satisfaction comes more from providing a wonderful time to your partner than simply seeking your own.

This places you in the Lover Style of: The Devoted Lover.

The Devoted Lover is a wonderful Lover Style, and is perhaps the best Lover Style when it comes to developing a long-term, caring and rewarding relationship. The Devoted Lover is a treasure to find, though it is sometimes difficult to time establishing a relationship with one just right; usually, this is the last romantic relationship you'll need to find, so sow any wild oats first.

In terms of physical love, the Devoted Lover can be shy at first but gradually warms and eventually can be a thrilling partner who knows every need of his/her partner. Given a strong and loving relationship, and the right lover, the Devoted Lover can be a delight in bed.

Best Compatibility can probably be found with: The Suave Lover (most of all) or the Classic Lover, or the Carnal Lover.

Went to the CAC+US 08 yesterday to support Pok and Seb. These two guys really dance very well in their items. Seb showing off his sexy cha-cha while pok giving his all for the energetic hip-hop. The performance was very well done, except for the Voices. They really should not sing F.I.R songs. Not only were they not “放”enough, they also couldn't touch me. I just feel that they are there singing for the sake of singing, trying their best not to go off-key only. Oh well....This shouldn't have happened right? Considering that they are supposed to be the best in their CCA??

Three Kingdoms: Resurrection Of The Dragon

Synopsis: His country torn asunder by civil war, Zhao (Andy Lau), a commoner, heeds the call of duty. From the humblest of roots, he rises through the ranks on wings of courage to command an army charged with liberating the land from an evil warlord. Inspired by action, honour and a dream of unifying his divided nation, Zhao's heroism becomes a legend. But as the years pass and the throne changes hands, the war still rages on. When a newly enthroned king decides peace can only be achieved by defeating the warlords once and for all, Zhao embarks on his final and greatest campaign - a road to adventure that will crown his name in glory for all time. [Source: Yahoo! Singapore Movies]

.

An average war movie at the most, as I find that the war fighting scene are still not spectacular enough. In this movie, the director attempts to depict the three kingdom history through a lesser known general: Zhao Yun, played by Andy Lau. Though the history is a bit distorted by the movie, nevertheless, the important events in history are all clearly said out and followed through in the movie. So, even if you are a noob at history, you still will not get lost when watching this movie. A plus point for it. A memorable scene in the movie was how Cao Ying (Maggie Q) and Zhao Zilong (Andy Lau) trade psychological warfare. I shall not say much now, less this review become a spoiler. A good movie to watch to pass time though.

Kings of Europe

Yes!! Finally, after waiting for almost a decade, Man Utd has finally reached the finals of Champion League and win it!!!!!!! To add to the sweetness of victory, it was at the expense of Chelsea!! Yeah!! Sweet revenge. Hurray to Man Utd!! Whaha, Abramovich listen here, this shows that money cannot buy you anything you want in football! It is the talent and the manager that counts!!

. The winner is born the moment Anelka miss his spot kick!!

There are 3 players in the yesterday match that I think deserve special mention for helping Man Utd to clinch their only third Champion League title so far. First and foremost,

C. Ronaldo for scoring the first goal with a well placed header. His presence on field was a constant terror to the opposing defense. I am sure Essien will be particularly sure what I meant. Secondly,
Vidic, for successfully shutting out Drogba for the entire match. Well done!! Thirdly, of course,

The Flying Dutchman for saving the all important spot kick that ended Chelsea dreams!! Woot~ However, I am pretty disgusted by the way Chelsea played yesterday night. Not only were they unsporting, claiming pain and injury the moment Man Utd counter attack (Yes I am talking about you Makelele), they are also always complaining to the referee, trying to influence his decisions, particularly these two person below:

Ballack and

Drogba, always complaining non-stop, be it a foul or no foul, claiming that he got pushed, want a non-existence corner be awarded to him and of course plenty of diving. A justified and deserving red card to you for slapping people! Hah. And all these antics shown on field by their players just caused my disgust for Chelsea grow even deeper!! Nevertheless, Man Utd held on to become

A great match, down to the last penalty kick =)

The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian

First of all, I would like to thank Nuffnang for giving me the free pair of premiere tickets to watch this fantastic movie at Bugis Junction. Nuffnang Rocks!! =) The picture below sure show my heartfelt feelings towards them~ *grinz* Thanks again to Nuffnang and all its staffs. I hope there will be more of this events in the future. =)

Synopsis: A year after their first adventure in Narnia, the Pevensie siblings (Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy) are pulled back in by Susan's magic horn. They find that hundreds of years have passed and Narnia is now ruled by the bloodthirsty General Miraz, uncle to the true heir, Prince Caspian, who is now in exile. The children must find Caspian and help him get rid of Miraz. [Source: Yahoo! Singapore Movies]

.

What a fantastic movie it is. There was never a moment I felt bored!! The storyline itself was pretty general - 4 children coming back to Narnia once again to help a prince, who is the true heir, to snatch back the throne from his bloodthirsty uncle. What draw my attention was really the fantastic computer aided graphics of the mystical creatures and the massive battle scene at the end. People who have not watch the first Narnia may be a little lost because there are several links to the first movie in the storyline, but that is not very important. At most, you just didn't get a complete picture, that's all. =p The little humour here and there in the movie also adds points to it. Imagine, the huge bulky Minotaur going "shhhh" to the enemy?? *lol* In addition, I also kind of like the "cute" little mouse go dancing around like the 3 musketeers. Sadly though, from what the movie is going, there won't be a third Narnia. Well, a good movie to watch, nevertheless.

It kind of makes me pretty sad to see all these disasters striking one country after another...First, it was the hurricane that swept through several states of USA, destroying all that stands in its way, leaving a trail of destruction. Next was the cyclone that tear through Myanmar, leaving the whole country crippled. Its junta doesn't seem able to manage the situation and yet, stopped and reject all kinds of helps offered, leaving its people out cold and suffering. Now, the 7.9 Earthquake that strikes China, leaving 12000 dead and 18000 missing. What is the world coming to???

Doomsday

Synopsis: Authorities brutally quarantine a country as it succumbs to fear and chaos when a virus strikes. The literal walling-off works for three decades - until the dreaded 'Reaper' virus violently resurfaces in a major city. An elite group of specialists, captained by Eden Sinclair (Rhona Mitra), is urgently dispatched into the still-quarantined country to obtain a cure by any means necessary. Shut off from the rest of the world, the unit must battle through a landscape that has become a waking nightmare. [Source: Yahoo! Singapore Movies]

.

The preview looks interesting at first but upon watching the movie, I find it not as entertaining and good. The plot is just typical: A virus has struck and there will be this new hero out there to venture into hostile territory and find a cure to save the world. Fullstop. The draw / selling point of this movie (to me) is just pure senseless violence, blood spilling everywhere, human flesh splashing around and gore. If you are the one that like this kind of things, I must say this movie will definitely be the movie for you. Otherwise, it kind of get pretty boring sometimes and perhaps some others will get turn off upon seeing the violence. To sum it up, give this movie a miss if you can.

Ironman

Synopsis: Billionaire industrialist Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) makes weapons for the U.S. government. While testing of one of his inventions, he is wounded, captured and forced to make weapons for the enemy. Instead, he fashions himself a crude power armour to save his life and facilitate his escape. When he returns home, he revises his armour and finds purpose as the Armoured Avenger, Iron Man! [Source: Yahoo! Singapore Movies]

.

Hoho, in summary, this is by far the best movie I have ever seen this year. Promising lots of fast and furious actions, with a little humour mixed in between, the director really scores well for this. Plot wise, I would consider it decent (hey, this is the first movie this year I have considered it having a decent plot), though not one of the better ones I have seen so far. Details wise, I shall spare it as I don't want to be a spoiler, but I shall comment that things are not what they seem to be on the surface, and the movie shall reveal and straighten them out towards the middle part.

.

Getting off to a slow start for the first ten minutes, the audience will be plundge thick into action thereafter, and the pace and intensity will continue on until the very end. There was never a dull moment and audiences will be treated to an eye feast to all the gadgets and technology that can be packed into the metal body. The final battle match between Ironman and its copycat prototype was just as breathtaking. A must watch movie if you like actions and of course, superheros.

Hopefully, it will be above 1000ppm...*oops* I think the Operation Manager thinks I am a consultant.... haha, I don't dare to tell him that I am in fact... a student~ That, I think will most likely freak him out~

Scary

I can't believe this. I thought that it is just a causal problem that would not have any follow-up. So I just give my view that the sickness symptoms maybe due to either a virus outbreak, or some problem with the air circulating system (other wise known as the sick building syndrome). I sure hope its not the latter, or else there will be quite a lot of problem to find out the root of the cause. To think that I will actually be going down to the site for a survey this Thursday! I am just a student, hmm any professionals to help me out?? So scary!!!

Expects lots of fast and furious fighting scene (which the movie duly delivers), and the two stars battling it out with each other on martial arts and of course Jackie (the funny guy) always suaning Jet Li (the serious guy). I almost have a hard time trying to control my laughter at the cinema. One thing that kind of disturb me though is the mix of Chinese and English in the movie. Imagine old ancient time in China, and the people can speak English?? Weird.... Hmm, well, not a bad movie on the whole.

The time reads 9am on my watch, when I am supposed to be at office normally by 845am (work start at 8am according to regulation). I was digging half my mind out trying to think of a legitimate excuse for being late, when my bus begin to stall at the bustop near kambagan MRT station. Attempts to restart the engine failed and all passenger are required to get off the bus. To think that I am just 3 stops away from my destination... why must it happen to me?? But, on second thoughts, suddenly, I am presented with an answer just fallen out of the sky accompanied with proof. Hmm, am I supposed to be happy or sad, I wonder...

.

A blessing or a curse?

Living a life

Over lunch time, one of my colleague commented: "We must learn how to live a life and not lead a life for living". It set me thinking about what I actually want with my life in future. Am I living my life now? Or am I just leading a life for living? It seems to me that the latter describe more about my situation now. How truly sad right? How many people can truly say now that they are living their life? I believe no much. Never mind about that, now that I know, I shall try to strife for the former.

Don't know why, but it kinds of remind me about this poem and how true its meaning is:

《将进酒》 李白

.....人生得意须尽欢，莫使金樽空对月。....

~Together we shall live a life~

It's done

*Phew* after 14 h 58 mins of editing, finally completed my term paper. 4 freaking days of stress and few hours of sleep. Next up, powerpoint presentation for the term paper....I am brain-dead.....
