Ice Age 3

First, they sent the Eskimo's little toddler back. Then, they were on an adventure to deal with melting ice. Now, they had an encounter with Dinosaur. Sounds like they were never free. It showed that this story was growing.

Although this movie was funny and kind of cute, I felt that the momentum of this movie was declining. Luckily, the producers knew well how to keep it fresh for the audiences, for example, new hilarious moments for the nut chasing game and new characters.

It was an adventurous movie and it made me felt like watching an arcade game. The characters were facing troubles and conquered every obstacles for solely one objective, to save their friend.

I didn't have much to comment. Maybe it wasn't that fair for me to judge. Ice Age 3 was after Transformers. My mind still stood beside the Prime, Witwhicky and Lennox. Never mind, Ice Age was still worthy.

Rising stars will fall

This is a summary of whole life of rising stars.

They were just nobody. They worked very hard and tried everything. They faced difficulties at their starting point. They failed but they never gave up. They started again with nothing.

Then, they began to build up everything again, along with fate, destiny, luck and supports. They gained popularity and fame. People started to notice them and rising starts were heading towards success.

They did. They were popular. They had the world world in their hands. However, they had to deal with negative sides. Rumours and scandals were everywhere, attacking them. These destructive powers were too massive and it was a hard battle. Some won but most lost.

In the end, everything changed when they took their last breath. Tears and sorrow kept them accompanied to the final journey. The world grieved for them. Unfortunately, this situations won't last long.

How about their last words? How about their properties? How about the decease's family members? How about money?

Fights, quarrels, lawyers, paparazzi, albums, movies and plans were flying everywhere causing so many disturbances. These bombs were so chaotic and couldn't give peace.

One year later, the story seems to be silent. Few years later, it stops. The Earth is still spinning, with or without anyone in this world.

Transformers 2

This is the big hit. GSC website was down due to heavy traffic, mainly because this blockbuster. Well, I can't put blame because it is damn good. I watched it and it grows better than the first movie. Transformers fans out there, grab tickets fast and watch it or else you'll regret.

The battle is bigger. More robots are involved. The most important is that we get to explore more on the origins of these transformers. The visual aid is extremely great. The production team continues to shoot this film in many continents, giving us fresh look all the time. Last time, the final battle was in the city. Now, it's in Egypt instead.

I love the part where Autobots team up with human to hunt down Decepticons. They work together well. This movie shows more about Optimus Prime's history. There are also Decepticons that help Autobots as well. This shows them with more human emotion rather just metal organisms.

Again, Michael Bay provides us some laughter moments during the show to keep us entertained. Therefore, we'll feel both relax and intense while watching. I predict that there might be a trilogy because Megatron is still alive. The job of protecting the Earth is not going to stop unless Decepticons really fall down.

Thumbs up for Transformers.

Moving, Cleaning, Tiring

After the exam, we had less time to relax but just worked. The word "worked" means we had to move things out and moved to our new home at Kajang.

We basically used 2 days to finish the cleaning part. There were so many works to be done. We walked here and there, bought this and that, cleaned bit by bit. Before we could clean and wash anything, we had to shift things first. After that, we had to shift back. After cleaning and washing, it was time for arranging furniture and other things.

There was no easy way to describe my past few days. But now, I want to rest and have fun, before entering my second year.

Anyway, just heard that for now, there is no Chinese male junior but only 4 Chinese female juniors! Come on, where are the guys?

3rd Sem out!

Finally, I finish the whole 3rd semester. It was short and packed with everything. We used days to study what our senior had studied within months. How tough we were?

We learned about Imaging and IT. It's a bit difficult for me to say what we had gone through. Anyway, I only have a week to relax. Then, my second year begins.

Bloody Blood Bleed

To be honest, when I first saw this movie poster, I didn't feel the urge to watch this movie. I guess this time my intuition is correct. Blood: The Last Vampire is very typical and predictable. I think watch its animation is better, although I haven't watch the animation version.

The setting of this movie is rather weird, which is Japan during 70s. There are several Western characters involved. Therefore, most of the time characters will be speaking in English, few Japanese dialogs.

The visual effects aren't that stunning and I feel like want to laugh at several fighting scenes. The blood spatter is far deviated from reality. The demons look like fake dolls. One thing, the main character, Saya, has a extremely multi purpose sword, which can cut through brick walls and basically everything.

The storyline is really typical and predictable. I don't mind to say the whole tale here. Saya is a vampire who wants to revenge against the most powerful demon, Onigen, who had killed her father. She is not human but she is killing her own kind. She has a master who has white hair. The master teaches her every battle skill. Then, the master dies while trying to save her. His death makes Saya turns stronger. Eventually, the story reaches the final part. The battle between Saya and Onigen begins. As usual, they talk more than they fight. Definitely, Onigen gives her some punches. Next, Star Wars trick occurs. Onigen tells Saya that she is her mother. Saya screams and fights. With one strike, Saya kills Onigen.

So, tell me. You still want to watch this movie?

Me, Coward

Supposing I say I dislike dealing stuff with people, supposing I say I rather do things on my own. Is it better yet if I say actually I'm just a little too coward? I say so based on my reaction when being put into such situations.

1. Phone conversation
My voice will get shaky, my hands will tremble and I tend to speak faster. Within few seconds, people who listen to my voice will find out that I'm nervous. My heart beats faster than usual. This occurs normally when I have to call for delivery or customer service. My remedy is take a deep breathe and talk slowly.

2. Face to face
Walking into a new environment and feel lost after looking around, turns out to be so many new faces. I tend to wear an invisible cloak to escape from the creatures I named strangers. Actually, it's just easy. What I have to do is just walk to the front desk and ask the person there. Sometimes, I just don't have a clue on the first word to say. What should I do?

3. Taxi
If I have options, taxi will be at bottom of my list. Several factors making me to feel so. I met bad drivers. They are just pure evils. Traffic jam will make the transport cost rise higher. At Malaysia, taxi drivers have choice to choose their customers but not the other way round. Another case is that they will simply speak out fees rather charging us according to the meter. In short, let me just say I have negative thoughts towards taxi. Or perhaps I have too many excuses.

It's time to grow up. I guess it's time to learn. I should stop from being a coward. One step at a time.

Imaging

For the last two days, I attended the photographing workshop for our Forensic Imaging. We learned about some details and techniques on handling camera and taking pictures. It was fun and educating. We had a chance to take pictures using pricey SLR camera. It made us looked professional. I didn't have any fancy camera and I used my current handphone camera instead.


Here are some pictures I took using my tiny little camera. Enjoy.










I really wish that I have enough money to own a nice camera. Of course, for now, it is still impossible for me as student to own a SLR camera. This activity can be a hobby for me and possibly integrated into my career in the future. It is satisfying to capture the best moments in life.
