Review:How To Train Your Dragon

 

When I saw the trailer in the internet,I just had a feeling,I gotta watch it in 3D! Was it worth it? It worth every penny. I went with Crasher all the way to Gurney just to watch this animation movie made by Dreamworks.
I'm impressed with this movie and when it's made by Dreamworks and not PIXAR,it made everything even better.Especially in 3D,the effects are cool. 

The movie is quite simple,funny and is suitable for kids too which we rarely see from Dreamworks Animation movies. It's about a war between Vikings and Dragons. In the beginning,they slowly explains about everything and what's going on. The lead character,Hiccup is one of the Vikings who wants to be a warrior,but he fails. Everyone in the village thought of him as a burden but Hiccup is intelligent among the Vikings.

When he insisted on being a warrior,he goes into action and eventually caught a dragon.From there,the story flows on to be more interesting. The entire movie was great for me. The graphics in 3D is awesome,cute dragons,and full with humor.This movie is suitable for people of every ages from kids to adults and even elders.

Pacific 21/3/10

Okay,I wouldn't even write about this topic if it wasn't for the 'happy ending'. So,this was yesterday from today,if it's other day...forget it. That day,we(Me,Rick,Wei Xuan, Tzhang, CC, Hong, Alvin, Siew Suan,Hooi Yee, Ying Xuan) went to Pacific.I was with Rick's car and the day before,he said 1pm leave. When it's already 1.20pm we still haven't left thanks to Wei Xuan,he was so late. After he arrived,we set off and went to fetch Tzhang and Khai Yuen. Then,at last minute,CC wanted to join along,so Rick went around to fetch him too. Our first destination was...Jusco. It's because we gotta drop Khai Yuen there because he wanna do 'something' there. After dropping him,we went straight to Pacific.

Looking for a parking was a pain in the arse,but eventually we found one. Then,we went up to the cinema counter and bought the tickets for Just Another Pandora's Box but the girls weren't watching though. It's easy to guess what's gonna happen next.They went to arcade as usual, but I still didn't play as usual. ARCADE IS A WASTE OF MONEY. We still had 30-45 mins before the movie starts,so I just watched them play.

Okay,after the movie,we went to arcade again and again I had no interest in playing. Next,we went to search for the girls,and then Rick brought us to Pizza Hut because he wanna take-away pizza.On the way to Pizza Hut,I saw a familiar face from NS,but I didn't knew him. After getting the pizza,nothing else to do and nowhere to go,so we were done for the day.Next,finding an autopay was a pain in the arse too. We went all the way up to the arcade area for the autopay from ground floor. 

Finally,into the car! We went all the way down not smoothly but it was still okay. Then we kept going and going till we reach the corner nearby the bus stop. Rick's car suddenly had some sound even though it was not supposed to.He stopped and we went down to check.And that was the 'happy ending', tire punchet. Rick called his dad and said he can only arrive 1 hour later. It was already nearby dusk,so instead of waiting like bunch of homeless people,we went to eat and wait at the Pacific foodcourt. An hour later,Rick's dad arrived and the tire was replaced.It was already dark and by the time I got home,it was already 9pm+. This was an awesome experience. In the future when I drive car, MUST SAVE A SPARE TIRE and also learn how to change tire!

Review: Just Another Pandora's Box

   

I can't remember the last time I had laughed so much when watching a movie and especially Cantonese comedy. This movie is simply too awesome! The entire movie is full of humors and you might probably laugh till you cry.

This movie starred Ronald Cheng and Betty Sun and followed by a lot more. The movie started when they were at a times where magics existed such as Monkey King and some more. Then,when they found the Pandora's Box,they travelled to the future or the past,I don't know about that,but they travelled all the way to the wars in the Three Kingdom.

This movie is adapted from the old 'A Chinese Odyssey" starred by Stephen Chow being Monkey King. But, you can still spot some other movies such as "Kungfu Hustle", "Titanic" and perhaps more! This is a top recommendation from me to those that haven't watch it. Make sure to go with your friends to share the laughter.

RATING: 4 out of 5

Review:The Hurt Locker

                                       

Well,this movie was already released since 2009,so sorry for this late review,but I still gotta do it since this movie won Oscar awards and even better than the epic Avatar? Unexpectable.

The movie mainly tells about a bomb squad in Bravo Company  leaded by Sergeant William James, that is protrayed as a wild man and take every action in his own hands. His squadmates think of him as reckless and keep bringing them into danger instead of away from it.

Though I don't know how Iraq really looks like,but they do describe it well mainly uncivilized. When I watched the movie,it was tense and suspense. My heartbeats go faster everytime when they go on to defuse a bomb. There were no background songs,it was quiet and that ain't normal if you watch too much movies with background songs.

The picture is totally awesome. Some part goes on slow-mo and handheld camera contributed a lot too,it felt like being in a real war filming it. Bout the story though,it's not so tidy. It ain't fix,it can go over at anytime,but I guess that's how the director wants the story to go.

That's all I can say about this movie. For those that haven't watched it,I recommend you guys to watch it. This movie does deserve multiple Oscar awards including Best Director and Best Picture.

I got Battlefield Bad Company 2!

                      Finally,after 3 years since 2007,bought my second Battlefield series. I've been waiting for this day for so long.

                    But,unfortunately,can't play. So sad. I think it's graphic card problem,but my bro said its Windows problem,need to reformat. I also don't know,but hope to get it fixed as soon as possible because I'm so desperate to play it!

My memorable life in NS

         Even though  the time I spent in White Resort Camp was only for 3 months,but I had this deep feeling with it,even deeper than 5 years in secondary school. This feeling slowly grows since the first day I arrived. The first day I arrived,it was strange to arrive at a new place and after getting checked by the people there,all of us that arrived from Batu Kawan went blind. We didn't know where to went,which dorm we were in,but we kept walking till someone lead us the way. From there,destiny leads me to Hang Kasturi,for squadron Fulchrum. When I arrived in the dorm,it was weird seeing strange faces which now had already become best buddies. The first 2 day was boring with so less activity. Then,we got off to starting with KKJ. From there,we built our flag, motto,objectives,everything. Next after we were done,it's presentation time. Unfortunately,Fulchrum got last for KKJ presentation,but nevermind,that was only the beginning.
       As time pass,it was starting to get extreme with Kembara Halangan,Kawat training,bleep test. Another fun moments was in the water. We started off with 'water confidence' and next up,we were up for rakit and kayak. It was so fun since I never played for my whole life,but there I had my chance. Class was also fun,but only for CB class. While for the rest,sooo boring. Character Building was the most fun class to be in as time spent there was worth it.
        Next comment,about the foods and drinks. Due to complaints from the trainees to the management, BUT I never seen them act in trying to solve it.In the end,25/2/10 was caused. A strike was caused by numbers of trainees,more than half of the amount in the camp. Everyone changed to their house clothes and even bring their bags out. I didn't join in the strike together,as I think there could be a better way to do it.  Dues to the strike,a lot of things were cancelled. No competitions for kembara halangan,kayak,rakit and even Wirajaya,we didn't spend a night in camp!! BORING!
        Then,there were fights and even at once,some of them went to the police station I guess. Luckily after few times,nothing happens anymore. It's better to spend the 3 months peacefully than fighting each other.
        What else to say. Ah,our closing night? It was fun,but too short and commander didn't even came,so it was boring too. But,luckily I was with the MC gang,that's what makes it fun. We all had fun xD.The morning after our closing night,was the 'pembarisan penutup'. The end of the beginning...the end of our NS. After the best wira,best wirawati,best shooter,best squadron was announced and after penghulu finish reporting,we threw our berets high up the air and therefore,we had 'graduated'. Our NS service was over. That day, all of us separated.All the friends I had there,all separated. Time pass so fast when you were enjoying. Most of them went home at 9/3,but I went home at 10/3 taking the bus.It's better to spend my time till the last second there so I wouldn't regret at all.
         In the end,it's a VERY fun experience. I'm glad to meet everyone at the camp that are already best buddies now.I'm glad to be at White Resort to spend my NS life at. I'm SATISFIED.... thanks for the memories. Sorry,I couldn't write any longer,because NS  seriously have too many things to write about.
