Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows


Yo!so sorry for not crapping something here for quite a long time. I realised that I have been posting about movie critics ( actually just some comments -__-) thrice in a row. If this trend continues, this blog will turn into some professional movie critics blog one day.haha.

YEAH, I watched Harry Potter 7 part 2 yesterday 4.40pm, while others were possibly busy preparing for the Chemistry Quiz. Crazy right? This is me.XD

Still in vivid memory that I watched Part 1 with Itik, Sabun, Jit Ming, Brownie and etc. on the last day of school last year, also Itik's birthday eve. Feeling troubled just to think that the holiday mood is so far away from us now. What lies ahead is SPM, the burden is the heaviest to bear so far in my 17 years of life. In addition to it, SPM is just the first of all kind of challenges waiting for us out there.




Okaayyy~~come back to Hairy.XD

As you all know, this movie is the last of the epic. It took 10 years for the movies to be screened, so did the novels. I will skip the intro part since you all must have read N times on newspapers.

Make no mistake - this final movie displays big battles and full use of magic in the magical world, comparing to the previous movies. I have been ancitipating how the wizard war will look like and how the movie will present the final battle between Hairy and Voldemort.

All in all, it is quite nice for me. I think it would be exceptionally nice to those who don't read the novels. I read the novels for N times, so when I walked in the cinema to watch the movie, I was like rewatching it again. I know the outcome and what will happen next. You may be touched by some scenes of the movie, like the friendship of the trio;or feel sad that Hairy should die at last:even pity Severus Snape and marvel at his love towards Lily Potter.

But~I felt nothing at all. I know it is a happy ending.XD


I was actually guessing what scenes come next in the movie. Hahaha. I know the plot so well, I can even remember the dialog. However, quite a few times I missed. Why? The movie changes some of the plots. zzz.


My sister said the pace was so fast and she hardly digest the movie. All the things going on is actually happened in a year in the novel, but you feel like they settled all in 1 day.

The battle between Hairy and Voldemort is described plainly and simple in the novel. I am glad to see that the movie has so many cool and exciting dueling between them. However what the movie lacks is the feeling. The movie can't show to you the inner conflict of Hairy and the strong bond of love, it is just a magnificent fireworks show reflecting on your retinas.

Well, if you are interested, read the novels from 1 to 7, you will find it wonderful and touching, I assure you.=)

TRANSFOMERS 3 - DARK OF THE MOON




Yeah!Another Michael Bay's blockbuster!

Although we missed it last Saturday, I watched it this afternoon right after school with Zhen Jie, Sheng Qi, Yi De, Wei Hong and our pattern king Bali.

I changed my full uniform at 9th period. Sheng Qi fetched me and Bali at 2.10pm to Sunway where the movie began at 2.45pm. While waiting for Zhen Jie them to reach I managed to grab a waffle for lunch.XD




Okay~You all know the plot of Transfomers 3, so I skip it and straight to my viewpoints. Admittedly, I am not a pro movie critics like Zhen Jie. The impression TF3 gave me was "Wow". I can say its not boring. But if you ask me about the plots, the only thing I can say its quite creative, linking moon exploration with it. Although some critics say its very cheesy, overall its okay like others movie for me.




One thing is the metalic robots, or the so called Alien Intelligences, are so human. They are just like human wearing metallic coating. The way they speak, they act and they behaviour. They even bleed!hahaha.




Transfomers 3 also talks about betrayal. Sentinel Prime, which is the former Autobots leader, betrayed them because he wants to restore Cybertron by using earth resources. I think Optimus would not have foresee Sentinel's betrayal when he save him from the moon. He thinks Sentinel will show them how to end the war. He must be very sad and hurtful when Sentinel turned against him and killed his Autobots. In spite of feeling discouraged, he fights for human and fights for freedom. He did not give the traitor a second chance and he ended Sentinel's live. Optimus has totally lost his faith in Sentinel, that's why he kills him for the sake.




All in all, TF3 is quite an enjoyable movie, the fights between Autobots and Decepticons are magnificent.=) My mum say she may bring us for TF3 3-D.Yeah. I will watch TF3 for several times more, just to admire how the robots tansform from vehicles to robots. It's just so amazing, so mesmerizing! I really admire those designers, they are able to make every part of a car into a robot with all the elements like tyres, car mirrors, engines, exhaust pipes, doors and so on precisely shown. That's the reason the Transfomers kidnapped all the guys' hearts.




Autobots!Roll Up!



"In any war, there are calms between storms.

There will be days when we lose faith.
Days when our allies turn against us...
but the day will never come that we forsake
this planet and its people. "

Green Lantern

The Green Lantern Oath, which is to be cited by the Green Lantern everytime they recharge their rings.=)

Itik, Chu Xuan, Neri, Calvin, Wen Jiong, Khai Jie, Poh kok, Wei Hern and me went out together to celebrate Canteen's day.haha. Actually we planned to watch the blockbuster TRANSFORMERS 3, but as you know we couldn't get any tickets so we watched Green Lantern.

In fact I was not so keen to watch DC superheroes movies like Captain America, Ironman, Batman, Spiderman and so on. Don't you think the plots more or less are the same? Just different heroes posses different unique powers.

Normally the plots follow this pattern : An extremely low self-esteemed guy/A man with wealth, talents and flower hearted - Facing difficulties in life and relationship ( He may fall in love with a girl ) - One day he obtains super power or he is chosen or what - His life change - He has a new identity - He must keep his new identity in secret ( by wearing a mask and costume) if not he will be in danger or other reasons - To be fair, there must be super bad guys to act as his enemies - Fight Fight Fight, Bang Bang Bang - His enemies are always someone close to the superhero - He realises that - His enemies realise that too - His enemy also loves the girl the superhero loves - His enemy kidnap or try to compete the girl with him - He fights all the way to save her - His enemy is killed - He wins the girl's heart - The end, wait for the second episode.

Yeah!

I can be a director already!XD haha.

Undeniably, as the story line goes it brings out positive values. Everyone loves happy ending, loves to see how the superheroes win their girls' heart and kill the enemies. That's why we have so many superheroes.




Hal Jordan is same as Starke in the sense that they both are playboys. Hal Jordan is a character which is more real to us because of his frail humanity like us. He is not like Superman, which is strong and determined, nor Ironman who is always confident. He is irresponsible pilot who caused a massive redundancy in a company due
to his mistakes. As the Green Lantern Ring chooses him to be the successor, he wants to give up immediately on the training ground, after being humilated. That's us, doesn't it? Giving up so easily when we start to do a thing which we are assigned to and find it difficult. Just like the Ring never make mistakes, it chooses Hal because there is something in Hal we cannot see. So there are somethings too in us, a great potential to be unleashed and save the world.




The Green Lantern uses his ring to bring out whatever he can imagine in mind. In order to be strong enough, one must have wide imagination so he can create many things to attack and defend. Imagination is what we are lacking now. We tend to follow all the protocols and procedures written on a piece of paper. When someone works in different ways, we see them as aliens. I speak nonsense, I joke nonsense, I say something you think is super lame, I have imagination you will never have. Imagination is powered by ideas, ideas are generated by nonsense. The time Wright brothers thought of flying like a bird, they said they spoke nonsense, too.




The things which are created by Green Lantern, must be further enforced by the Green Lantern's will, focus and determination. If not, whatever he builds are weak and can be destroyed easily. The stronger your will, the stronger your power. Even if you have great imagination but no perseverance to continue doing it, all will be in vain. If you think you can, no one can say you cannot. This is the most heard phrase, suggesting how strong is human will. But let us not forget God is sovereign in our life, no matter how hard we think, how much we focus, we can't work against God. God's plan for us will ultimately be fulfilled no matter how far we try to out run.




Fear. One of the themes in this movie is overcoming fear. We all have fear. We fear of bad things happening, we fear of poor results, we fear of lonliness, we fear of losing friends, we fear of dying. FEAR is what preventing us to step forward, devastating our faith and confidence. Overcoming fear is not easy, really, is not what you say. I experienced it before, it haunts you day and night, telling you that you can't. It makes you fear of fear itself. That's when you started to runaway. I tried many ways to get rid of it, when I hit the damn pole in drivng test. As I returned to the scene, I implanting positive messages into my mind, programming famous quotes, encouraging myself and so on. At last when I started off again my defends all collasped instantly, FEAR overwhelming totally. FEAR is so terrible, by man's strength it cannot be beaten. Finally I seek God. Truly, I didn't lie or what,this made things much better. Thinking Jesus was watching over me and He would never leave me alone, I faced it steadily. Even I failed a hundred times I will not be fear again. He is with me, whatever I do wherever I go. My guardian my true companion. I stop seeking for very very close friend now, what a shame as a born-Christian now only I realised I already have one before I ever born. He will never forsake me even I neglect Him, He is where my soul yearns to, He is right there when I need him. He will never badmouth me. He comforts me. He is everything. He is Lord Jesus Christ." Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil."

Green Lantern's light might be bright, but he needs to recharge the ring. The One in my heart, shines forever.

Welcome Back Neri!!

WELCOME BACK NERI!




Neri, just imagine it is a giant size banner which is hung at the arrival gate.haha.




Ah,sorry for not countingdown for the last 2days,I didn't open facebook on Friday and Saturday.




I was at school from 7 to 6 and then straight away went to tuition until 9.30pm, a very tight and tiring schedule. KRS was holding Ujian Kenaikan Pangkat, we AJKs as stationers and examiners must stay under the scorching sun with the members. I as a discipline master of KRS, did a very lousy job yesterday. My body was there but my soul did not. First time in KRS activity I was not doing my best, I acted very irresponsibly and caused many problems. I neglected my role to supervise the members' discipline.




Why? Perharps I have heard seniors complaining that members are very undisciplined now, and they blamed me. As if I am the only one who is held accountable. Why they not blamed the school discipline teachers?It's a bare fact that the students of CLB are getting worse in all the aspects.




I assure you, CLB is deterioting, getting worse and worse. Teachers still keep saying what the best school of Butterworth, the school of elites, the brilliant students and all nonsense. They are just cheating themselves.




Feeling discouraged in this way, I indulged myself to be the same.hahahaha.Why should I care so much?Since no one cares? Halfway on my boring duty I ran away to chat wif Suat Boon, leaving a station with no one. As a result when I came back, scolded by Chen Xin, Zhen Jie, Jingxue and others. "YOU ARE SO IRRESPONSIBLE!WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!" "Oh yea, I went for a walk."I answered calmly with some apologies.




Soon after they wanted to start another programme, I grabbed chance to run again, saying I wanted to photosat some documents, I went out of the school with Suat Boon. We actually went to Econsave after getting our work done. When we were back to the dull field, its time for Suat Boon to go back home. So I alone wandering around with no duty since I was not there when they had a fall in.




I felt like I was an extra one, they didn't need me at all. From the way they looked at me I sensed despise. Oh dear Matthew what were you doing. You know that kind of feeling, I knew that I was wrong but my soul was so rebelious. Although you might thing I am playful, but I will never do anything which is not right, which is irresponsible. I considered myself as a very responsible person, at least in KRS, acting as the one who is in charge of KRS disciplinary, I should be the role model of all 500 members and AJKs.




However yesterday, I ignored and neglected ALL. I was bored.




During the time I thought, why I became like that and I tried to find myself back. Am I acting so to show that what they were doing on me in my GS activity? I often thought being as good friends I should support every stuff he organized. Seemingly he did not think so, he did not being so supportive towards my club's stuff. He even jeered and laughed, exposing his true personalities for us to see.




After some struggle, I joined the Bomba test, which was backwood. I joined others under the 2pm sun to examine their cooking skills with wood fire. I nearly fainted due to the killing hot weather. After the test ended at 3pm, my soul urged me to rebel again. If they could simply ran away to do what they liked, why not I?




I went to play Ping Pong and never went back until the day ended. Seok Hui phoned me to call me back, yet my heart unmoved - I succeeded. I wanted to forgive, but was I taking revenge.




Neri, got several times I wanted to bring out my phone to text you, thinking that you might be in Penang at the moment, but I was distracted away. Sorry for disappointing you.




And Ah Jing, I am really sorry for the NIE magazine stuff. You guys looked high upon me, hoping a good work from me. I let you all down. Sorry, really sorry. I was not me. I was irresponsible...




Once again, Neri Carpe Diem - Seize the day!




P.S. - this is not a emo post k, please do not misunderstand. You can label it as apology letters.XD

Wake Me Up When Holidays End!

FUYOH~Wake me up when h0lidays end!!Hahahaha.


Well, this is probably the last post for me during holidays. I have suddenly been informed that KRS trip to old folk's home,Chi Ji and Youth Park will be held on tomorrow. Sunday I need to pack things and ready to school dy.=)



Later 10am Khai Cheat will come to my place to fetch me to Bola-bola to play football.



View back my holidays, since I have a lot of time now without activities ( which I have mentioned lots of times.haha), meaning I have a lot of time to waste too. I spent 4 days morning and night at church to join Bible Courses. I learned a lot from the courses, 'Sovereignty of God' give answers to many questions asked like Why there are so many disasters like tzunamis and earth quakes happening all around the world if God is sovereign?Why this world is so evil since God of Love and mercy created this world Himself?



After watching the latest Pirates film, I decided to watch the 3 previous Pirates again. I actually included them in my holidays plan although I have no plans for holidays.hahaha.Lame right?



I watched the first one on last Sunday night, it is really nice and funny. Last night I continued the second 'the dead man chest' , this one is more eerie and dark compared to the first one and the fourth one. You will start to hate Jack Sparrow for his wickedness and he is so irresponsible. Tell you, you wouldn't see him as a hero but a coward. I wondered, although he is good at fighting skill,but his leadership is damn poor, how can such person be the captain of the ship?In spite of his poor leadership, his crews are willing to submit to his authority and remain faithful. Are they bound by loyalty or they simply respect him from hearts? Perharps this is the amazing part of Jack Sparrow. That is the reason why he was mutinied and always appear in the screen as a captain who has no ship. Little does he know the safest ship in the world is leadership?



Ya, I am going to watch Pirates of Caribbean 3:at world's end by tonight.XD I think I like the first and the fouth because Jack Sparrow acts more like a good man and hero.



Here I wish Neri all the best in her exams. Since she will be back soon, I have to polish my cutting skills so I can perform the best in helping Ah Jing in cutting vegetables at her party.Hahaha. In fact, I don't know how to hold a knive properly -._____.-


This photo was taken in 2007 in Adventist hospital. That time my mother was admitted for a surgery. I wondered why my cousin posed like a deer ( or a buffalo?), maybe that time was near Christmas.haha.


That time there was no 'mountain' on my head yet haha, and my head is so round!

It is always nice when you look back into your past.=)

LIKE!
Ohya, please remember to wake me up when holidays end ya.XD
