Review:Toy Story 3


FINALLY! 10+ years after the premiere of Toy Story 2,Toy Story 3 had been released and in 3D! I had waited for Pixar to do this for a long time,and now it came true!

Okay,most of the cast are still the same except certain of them.If you had watched  Toy Story 1&2  and now you had watched 3,notice that most of the toys from previous movie are gone. Somehow,the movie felt kinda empty without all the other toys.

The story in this third installment,is about grown up 18 years old Andy heading to college soon. As he grew up,he haven't been playing with the toys so much. Woody,Buzz and the rest of the toys tried ways to get Andy to play with him,but yet they keep failing. Most of the toys had already left Andy for other owners from yard sales.  There ain't many of 'em left,and even Sarge left them too when he too given up when they find no way to convince Andy to play with them anymore.

Till one day,Andy's mom wanted him to clean up his room. Out of all the toys,Andy chooses Woody to bring along to college while the rest,are suppose to be in the attic,until Andy's mom accidentally thought it is rubbish and she threw it out for the garbage truck. Having the toys not believing what Woody said about they are supposed to be in the attic,they decided to be donated to Sunnyside.When they reached there,they thought they would be played SAFELY everyday.However,the room they are in are for toddlers and not grown up kids.From there,they decided to bust out of there and they had to overcome a lot of obstacles to get back to Andy.

For the third time,another amazing Toy Story movie by Pixar.LOVING IT! The storyline is splendid and most importantly,Pixar succeeded again for another movie suitable for all ages to kids,teenagers,adults and even elderly.It's a perfect family movie. And the movie is specially for 3D too,so if you are in a cinema with 3D,just go for it.

They pictured the aging of the characters in the movie real well. Andy,Molly all grown up,even their mom looks older. And another funny part of the scene,is Buster,Andy's dog. In Toy Story 2,it can run real fast,but in Toy Story 3,you can see it has white fur already and started to get old,and moving slowly too.

Funniest part of the movie? Spanish Buzz ! Everyone laughed in the cinema when Buzz got reset to Spanish version and Woody and the rest of 'em had no idea to fix him. Buzz continue on acting like a perfect Spanish and when he saw Jessie,the romance part was great!

Okay,that's all I'm gonna say.This is a must-watch movie of the year! So go for it!

RATING: 5/5

A night at Auto City(Spain vs Switzerland)

            We(me,Pinzhai,LKS,Jun Wei,Zhi Yi) went to Auto City to watch the match between Swiss and Spain which had just ended.When I just arrived by McD, YP called me and asked where am I. I told him McD....."beside" I didn't mention that.They were actually at Pelita and had booked a place already,I never knew that and they walked to McD. Got cheated,McD TV broke d. And when they walked to McD,means the place at Pelita was lost. So,we stood there discussing whether to stay or leave.

Next,we decided and went to Bed. The place sucks,not a place to watch football. They open their songs so loud and I can't hear anything from the match,basically bored. We just left after sitting there for like 5 minutes,luckily the waiter have no interest to ask us anything...really no face entering and leaving so soon =.=!!. Then,we thought of going back to Pelita again,but we went to Swensen to check. LUCKILY they have the telecast right outside! Though it was raining abit,it stopped after awhile.

I thought I could eat at Swensen,but unexpected,their not cooking in the night anymore,so I just ordered a Hot Cappucino.After awhile,I only noticed..it's NIGHT and why am I drinking coffee?! But,luckily I'm feeling sleepy right now....phew =). Okay,about the match,it was half time by the time we settled down. So,15 minutes of talk. We even planned to go to Pizza Hut to takeaway pizza,but we decided to go to McD after the match.Ok,continue on the match after halftime....a goal by Switzerland! I wonder what was the defender doing,even Casillas couldn't manage to grab the ball leaving the Swiss attacker to score.

And then,a great effort by Alonso,it's unfortunate the ball hit the goal post. As time went on,Spain started to pressure,and so was Switzerland.1 full attacking force while the other is solid defending. Even Torres went down the field after being subsituted after half time,but he couldn't manage to pull anything off. Spain kept on attacking,and we kept on WOOOOO-ing .....lol. Just until the final corner/freekick at 95 minute,we just gave up watching and went off.Even the referee haven't whistled yet,but he had to eventually.

Next,McD!! They all ordered 1 set,while I just ordered one Sundae Chocolate,enough for my midnight supper xD. Then we talked&talked&talked until Yan Pin mom diu him d,then we went home.That's all =D

Review:The "Kung Fu" Kid


The Karate Kid,or as I called it, The Kung Fu Kid,well that's what they called it in China and Japan,might as well called it in every other nations since,it it absolutely not related to karate at all! Well,it's only the title,now it's time to go....beyond the movie.

Starring Jaden Smith,he kinda look familiar when I saw the movie in the cinema. After checking in the internet, then I know he's the son of Will Smith,and I thought it's only a coincidence,but Will Smith is the director!And also can't be missed,Jackie Chan.

The movie started with Dre Parker(Jaden Smith),a 12 year old boy from Detroit forced to move to China with his mother due to her work. H. He met Mr.Han(Jackie Chan) when his mom told him to get the maintenance man.  Upon arriving to Beijing in just a short while,Dre met Mei Ying and had a crush on her. But the bully Cheng,whose family was close to Mei Ying,kept them apart. He kept harassing and humiliating Dre around the school. Just until Dre got chased down till his house, Mr.Han aided him and save him from getting bullied anymore.Then,Dre was forced to take part in a Kung Fu Tournament and Mr.Han will be teaching him Kung Fu(not KARATE).

The storyline was good,except certain characters that I think shouldn't even be placed into the movie as they are not related at all. At a certain part of the movie,you will feel touched,but most of it,for me, are humours. It would be a certainty since Jackie Chan is in the movie.

About the fight scenes,I know Jackie Chan's are real,but the kids,especially Jaden Smith,is he a gymnast?! He looks incredibly fit for his age and very flexible too.

Overall,this movie is worth watching.If you haven't watched it yet and got nothing to do during this holiday,just head on to a cinema and watch it,but don't be fooled by the title. It's not actually KARATE at all,it's about Kung Fu ;).

RATING: 3.8 out of 5

Teacher's Day at Jalan Damai

I had a choice today. Either to go High School or Jalan Damai's Teacher's Day.                                              In the end,I made a choice to go to JD xD.
I thought a lot of ex-student would be going,but...unexpected.
So few only. I think only have me,Wei Xuan,Chee Wei,Jiamal,Ying Xuan,Eening,Tze Foong and few more went only.
Well,in the morning it was raining also.So,I have no idea how they were gonna go on with the station game at High School "isi air dengan botol"..it's then isi air dengan hujan.

I reached at 10.30am,just in time for the beginning of the performances by the students.
Saw a lot talents this year rather than the previous. Don't know why suddenly pop up so many.
But for me,the best of the day was MAZLAN! Wow,never thought he would go up the stage and sing solo.. without background song. Awesome.

But,in the end it's easy to know that the winners would be taken by the dancers.So,congratz to the winners. For the teachers,I don't know what game they played.But Lim Mee Ley sure took alot of it.She really is the stron-gest and the lon-gest...as said by Wei Xuan ....lol.

Overall,it was a fun day,but it ended quite fast.Oh well,since it's over now,it's officially
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
