Went for a quick Genting trip before the classes start. Managed to have lots of fun, and I think after this we will have lesser chance for such a hangout anymore.

As for the pictures, I don't have them since my camera was in no condition for the cold environment up there. For anyone who is interested, try look out at either YeePhing's or Xiang's blog. They should be up soon, I think.

I hate it when the computer's power box somewhat malfunction after I exposed it to the air for a certain period of time. Like for instance, a moment ago I cleaned up the dust inside my computer in order to decrease the noise from that darn fan. As a result from that, the power box went for its hibernation again and I spent hours and hours to start up my computer...

So, the moral here is not to purchase cheap power box (the one which costs around RM75). You should increase your budget a little to go for a higher-end one instead.

Maybe, maybe I should turn off my air-conditioner next time when I need to unmount my computer from its cover.

What began as sexual experimentation in June could become an exciting part of your newfound identity in July. What you saw as a step outside of your comfort zone last month has unleashed a side of you that you never knew existed, and you are surprising yourself in good ways. Your head is floating in the thrilling chaos of this new self-discovery. Your energy levels are high, and self-assuredness fairly leaps off your shining face. You have all but forgotten pesky old habits you typically use to fill voids. Those have, however, been filled by something indescribably better. Eating too much, drinking too much, smoking or lolling about as a couch potato are all vices that can be left behind by Leos in July. With this reinvention of self will come a newfound clarity about your purpose or direction in life. You will gain a greater understanding of the best ways to utilize your strengths in the years to come. You will also get a glimpse of how to incorporate your creative potential into your professional life. The seed of a future career change might even be planted in your head this month. This newfound knowledge will be reassuring to your stubborn, idealistic side (which all Leos enjoy). You may feel you have trying all along to wear the wrong shoes, and suddenly you can see the potential to gain more freedom of self expression. You're on to something.

Wow, that's really something new. I wonder will that become true for the begining of this new month itself?

Well, it's been some time since I last wrote a review post, and here's one now.






I watched this movie last Saturday with much anticipation, however neither did it manage to quench my thirst, nor did it disappoint me.

The first thing that I'd like to mention is that there are quite a number of loopholes in the story:

• Bumblebee's voice system was supposed to be fixed at the end of the first film, but hey, somehow he spoiled it once more at the starting point of this movie. :)
• The time lapse of two years didn't change the fact that the fragment of Allsparks that remains on Sam's jacket. I'm starting to think that he frames his jacket inside his cupboard as a trophy for his victory over Decepticons, and then show-off in front of us in this movie!
• The bad guys declare to the whole world that they want them to hand over Sam to them, WHILE at the same time waiting idly and doing nothing. Sigh, that kinda reminds me of how smart villains are supposed to be.

Up until a certain extent of the movie, I got really feddup with the blaring explosions or loud noises. There are way too much of such scenes and I got numbed from hearing that.

Not forget to mention the movie consists of more than fifty percent fightning scenes. Fighting scenes are cool, but provided that they are elegant and serve their purpose at the correct moment. The battle between Autobots and Decepticons are made out of sheer brutality and roughness - which in return, won't fare well in the long run.

Another fact is that there are little to nil unique distinguishment between the robot characters. They all look far too identical to each other -with almost the same face-plate- and at a certain point of time, I even mistook few characters for each other. Let alone the messy fightning scenes.

Oh, and I remember that Michael Bay this time has really give Megan Fox a lot of screen time. Is This is done to give her character more personalities, or is an indirect way of marketing sales? I don't know. But what I can confirm is that the scene time for Shia LaBeouf is greatly reduced as comparison to the first movie. Poor guy. :(

The addition of extra comic reliefs are good, but personally I think it's being overdone. There are way too much funny scenes and in return, I can't really feel the seriousness of the movie. Perhaps they should remove Transformer from the action film genre and categorize it as comedy film instead.

The military forces appear to be in their "godlike" mode once more. It's either the Decepticons are way too arrogant to kill them, or they are just poor in their aiming skills. They can only hit big big targets though!

I don't know is it me or not, the film seems to be showing off the military capabilites of the U.S. army.

Sometimes, these kind of movie kinda makes me think that they deserve what they are facing now. Say, why they toss Megatron's body into the deep sea instead of incinerating his metal into ashes? Or perhaps, they can allow Optimus Prime to destory the body of the villain. Oh, wait a second. I get it now! They were actually secretly praying for his return, and they got it in the second movie!

And then the military defense for remaining piece of Allspark kinda makes me laugh. They said they'd secure it with the best way possible, but intruding into their bases takes such little efforts. The funniest thing is that they have a ventilation hole or something that directly connect into the "high-securitised" room. Great. Wait, we haven't get into the best part yet -- apparently there are neither soldiers nor securities on the site! Not even outside of the sealed chamber! Bravo, really bravo...

A 149-minutes movie is overly excessive and it makes my back and butt ache from the prolonged seating.


There are a lot more criticisms to the great movie (slightly overrated, though), but for further reading, you can get to my friend's blog which contains a lot of hilarious commentaries in relation to the film.


Just an extra sidenote here, if we're about to strip the film from it's visual effects and funny scenes, the movie contains literally nothing worth of mentioning.

So, that's the end of it and I shall peace out here. :)

My new schedule is going to be:

• Monday - morning and afternoon session only
• Tuesday - afternoon session only
• Thursday - occasional afternoon plus two night sessions (3.15-6.15 & 6.30-9.30)

Wow, beautiful timetable especially for Thursday's session. I'm wondering how I'm going to attend two classes at different places given such a short period of time.

Maybe I do like what I usually did in the past -a self-study session in the morning- and then skip the class when it's halfway through. But come to think of it, the plan seems like a waste of petrol, lol.

Anyway, will see how things go on for the next few days. Gotta have some plans to remedy the situation.

While I was too free and have nothing better to do, I went and re-read one of the one-shot I had written for my friend one year ago, and much to my horror, my writing was SO much better back then. There were sentences which I was able to write quite some time ago, but fail to produce them in the present.

This is really f*** sh** man. It also further proves two points:

1. I'm slacking way too much for my past. I should've committed suicide outright.
2. I have plenty stuff to buck up with. Need only not to brush up my writing skill, but also my conjunction ability. Heaven saves me please.

Damn, this is a real failure of myself. That's why I shall mark it down here today, a sign of my incompetence, and proves that I failed so badly for once in the past.

It's time for me to 面壁思过 & 自卑 already. Shall peace out for now.

I had been away for the past two weeks, busy visiting here and there, taking my own sweet time with my friends (sing k, yam cha sessions), and also staying at home and become a gamer.

-_-'

See. That's how ironic my life is. On a second, I'd give myself a list for improvements, but on the other hands, I'm doing something else.

Darn, maybe I should have something strong to remind me of my objectives, lol.

Anyway, had lots of fun so far, and of course, spent a lot of money in clothing, vacation, foods, and also new BOOKS! I feel slightly guilty now, especially when I haven't even change the noisy fan and the spoiled burner of my computer.

Haih... Life is painful when you don't have any source of income, eh?

I think that's all for now. Maybe soon when I have the inspirations I will jot down more meaningful posts with some sort of lively argument.

Until then.

Can you believe that I have spent more than six hours in building a mansion in the game? It really took me a lot of efforts to achieve that, but the outcome to that was awesome.

Had a lot of fun these few days and I'm kinda addicted to the game now. Perhaps, I should take a break of few days to catch up with my life in the real world instead. Staying up in front of the computer for whole day literally dictates that I have NO LIFE.

Will see you guys and girls later. So, until then!

Well, ACCA June 2009 Examination is finally over, and here goes my burden of the 4 papers. I wouldn't say that I did well in the exams, but at least I tried my best. (though I kinda slacked for the last few days)

This was my very first time for putting so much efforts for exam purposes, and of course, I hope for a favorable return -- in the form of straight passes.

After the examinations, I went out with my friends and had lots of fun, save for the usual bothering issues which kinda occupied a half of my mind. But the taste of freedom... I never desired it this much! It truly felt like I was literally no more chained against any sort of burden, and finally I could let go of my nerdy self.

Of course, I must thank you guys for creating such beautiful memories with me.


So... What's my next target? What should I aim for next? Let me think about it for a second...

• Revitalize my writing ability
• Finish reading all the books I lend from library
• Improve my grammar by studying in library
• Complete the last paper that will put a full stop to my ACCA's life journey
• Grab a personal skill, such as guitar/piano if I have the time for commitment
• Improve my communication skills

Ah... I think that's all for now. I should be updating quite infrequently, so, you might want to check this site out once in a while.

So, until then. Take care guys and girls. :)

Ever watched this show before? If not, I highly recommend it to you, the readers, to this movie cause it contains a lot values about life -- especially not to waste away our lives unnecessarily.

And this is the first movie ever that is able to bring tears to my eyes. So much of emotions...
