" Winner Winner Chicken Dinner "

This is a true story based on the MIT Blackjack Team.
I never had the interest of watching it until i found out it was based on true story and it is about what it is about.... LOL..
btw, i thought he was Josh Harnett :P actually...Jim Sturgess.... haha
For those who never heard of it......here's a quote from Wikipedia

"The MIT Blackjack Team were a group of students and ex-students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard Business School, Harvard University, and other leading colleges who utilized card-counting techniques and more sophisticated strategies to beat casinos at blackjack worldwide. The team and its successors operated from 1979 through the beginning of the 21st century. Many other blackjack teams have been formed around the world with the goal of beating the casinos. Most of these teams keep a low profile and are not publicly known."

Altho the reallife students are mostly asian american.....but this movie turns most to whites. Jeff Ma = Ben Campbell

The movie started when Ben being interview for Robinson Scholarship.... being question what has he done in his life and the story begins.......
Kevin Spacey as Micky, one of the professor in MIT, invites Ben to the team and continues their card counting game in Vegas making big money....
as usual, appetite grows with the increase of $$..... not everyone can control themselves.....
but.....why on earth you keep the money on the ceilings....not just money..it's Ks and Ks of money.................

I love it when the movie close with the Dazzled Scholarship administrator... lol

The Bourne Series

A one go of The Bournes' Movie is definitely a adrenaline rushing experience one after another.....
well... it's all about Bourne's identity....
You trained the killer, it only ends when the killer kill the trainees.
I'm not sure if there will be more The Bourne sequel, but definitely not from the original writer Robert Ludlum, i guess Bourne Ultimatum is the last for the Bourne Series from Ludlum, Eric Van Lustbader came out with The Bourne Legacy, The Bourne Betrayal, The Bourne Sanction and The Bourne Deception. Not sure if it's similar to RObert Ludlum's novel... but i prefer this Ultimatum as an end of it...

The Chase to Bourne is endless, everything bourne do serve a purpose without a single mistake. This is very interesting to me..... I want his Brain. XD
everytime i see him jumping from roofs to roofs, balconies to balconies, i cant stop imagine the next scene i see is "poof", he fell over... lol...
In The Bourne Ultimatum finally clear up Bourne's amnesia....... flash back of what and who he was, the cruel test....somehow i felt it's not what he wants....i guess he never expect what his sacrifices will leads him to..... murderer....
A must watch if you like Spy Film :D

The Triangle (2005)


I think this is the first time ever for me to watch a 5 hours duration movie.....

I was attracted by the story when i saw this trailer, the mysterious Bermuda Triangle.... this movie is wicked....
4 professionals being hired with 5 Million each to search the answer of missing planes and vessels occurred in the Bermuda Triangle... Hallucinations and being in a different timeline at the same time, hallucinations are no more hallucinations, they are real....
I wonder if it's real for the real bermuda..... I'm curious......
The witness of 2nd world war pilots and Columbus ship & crews..... the old lady who was 2 hours ago a 6 years old girl..... Wicked...

What is the real explanation to Bermuda Triangle?

" 这是美国业余摄影师Sandra Critelli 近日向公众公布的一组照片,是他去年7月在墨西哥Holbox Island(岛)上拍摄的,他那时正好跟随一只鲨鱼科考队途经此地。
图中的鱼是金鼻鲼(fen1)鱼,鲼也因其长相奇特被人们俗称魔鬼鱼,据了解这种金色的大型牛鼻鲼每年都会成群的在墨西哥湾地区迁徙,有时候多达上万条。当然,能拍下这样壮观的场面,还是很难得的 "

i had this one experience of witnessing an extraordinary manner of an english lady during my uni life. We were having an assignment of design studies.. Being put into different groups, you need to research, and present some topics. There was this funky girl in our badge, not really kinky, but bit of punk, let's call her pink. She dyed her hair pink once. She was randomly put into a group of girls that she wasn't close with, decent typical english ladies. A group of 4, they immediately had different opinions and ideas on the 1st week progression. They hardly cope .On the third week, pink quit the group, deciding to solo the assignment. 4th week - the presentation day. Most of the groups presented, but she was given a week more to prepare her presentation. I remember clearly she was sitting in the middle of the room, presenting on her chair.. Facing the tutor, but not me, i was sitting behind. Which means not a really formal presentation... She started off with a few sentences which i hardly hear, but the next thing i heard was... "why? Am i being cocky?" she closed her file and walks her way out of da room. I was like.. Wat? Wat happen? I think the whole room share the same feelings especially our tutor, an ah char, he was stunted! And slowly throw out some words like.. Sometimes, things happen like tat. You never expected it. Ok, nevermind, we will talk to her.......

WOAH~ being in the situation of somethg like without any idea wat happened and why it happened....Till now, i still think it's quite funny and fun watching it happen. Haha...

有时候真的是不知道为何搞到自己这么痛苦。。。。
唉。。。 残酷,太残酷了。。。。
近来很多事情把小时候选择遗忘的记忆带了回来。。。。现在才明白我为何是我。
看来我又再次走入“过渡期”。。。。

有很多很多的疑问,很多很多无法回答的疑问,带来很多很多的痛。。。。。
有很多很多的痛,很多很多无法顶替的痛,带来很多很多无法拟补的洞。。。。。

rawr.....

last week, my frens jio me watch quantum of solace with her complimentary tickets... ^^

but what excites me more was tat i saw this one trailer....a familiar image...an AMBIGRAM!! i was like OMG, then i saw Robert Langdon, double OMG, i whisper to my fren. softly but loudly "HEY, ISNT THIS ANGELS....." and the screen shows ANGELS & DEMONS!!

my god.... this will be the first movie i "read" before....yea, u know, i'm not a book person...i dont read...other than the few novel during my "disconnected" period in birmingham.... Angels and Demons is one of them, and i was deeply in love with ambigrams..its amazing... somehow something out of my ability to design..... i'm actually looking forward for this movie....altho i know movie will never beat the book, believe me, oneselves' imagination is always far better than creation of another.... unless it beyond what is written... ^^

Transform

my bro gave up this after he realise the scale of it's chest/stomach isnt right.
so i took it and play ard.





I dont really know what were i doing with it, but just somehow wan it to be finish rather than leaving it on my table...... (he always do that.... "give" me those half done heads especially.....*!@^#*)&$%@!$!@$)

New Pets

Well.....
It has been a while (a long while) since i last update my blog....
I dont remember how long ago i watched my last movie. but i definitely hasn't been watching any recently. tat sucks.

Thanks Eeli for my coming trips....... luv ya, appreciate it. ^^
Looking forward for meeting up with u guys, the -Nyonsssssssssssssssss ^^
Looking forward for the chit chatings and gossipings and the crazinessssssssssssssss ^^

My dad's new pet, which is of cos my new item in my to do list. above pic is the "early stage" of the tank, now the tank has increased to 15 "tails". with the increase of fishes, fake seaweeds are also to be increase...lol, so they have enough place to hide and u know....they are born to fight.... so they need camouflages....*saw the hedgehog while we buying these fishes again... >< they are soooooooo cute.. :|*

A 1 1/2 ft tank with filter and light, RM135, this is made of glass, unlike the goldfish tank, made of acrylic. small filter but enough power, creating nice flow of water.... white lamp, (eukkk) but still ok la......bright enough...err really bright...
One thing i realise abt these fish is that, they can sleep anywhere anyhow... :| and i always thought they are dead...lol..... they can pause anytime while they swim, with weird shapes and pose, how cute. They are fearless mostly, strong survival type of fish.... easy to keep them, unlike gold fish or discus, my fav fish, discus, remember how we kept them last time....pretty and shy fish, but nice radiant colors. Once u lost control of its water environment, the whole tank is gone.

This is my favorite..... but it's mouth was ripped off a bit few days ago.... sigh...they never stop fighting.... the dark body with blue and red edge fins and tails look niceeeeee to me.... the red one is nice too, but i hate the tails and fins are so jagged. Their body colors changes from time to time, changing as in lighten or darken, sometimes u see lines across, but at night, they mostly return to its original colors.

Atonement (2007)

I've just watch Atonement (2007). It was actually a story from the British writer's award winning novel Atonement (2001). I like the story...seriooously...very nice....altho i hate the reality in it. but it's just a sad nice story.

Kiera Knightly.....cant argue she's good..she's sexy and great actress.... remember the scene she took off and jump down the fountain... and that's where Briony - played by the young Saoirse Ronan... make her own story up...

The day Briony apologize to Cee in her apartment while she sees Robbie walking out gave me a relief at that time.... but somehow, revealing the truth that Robbie never return to Cee in the end was just heart breaking.......and how Cee ended....double heart breaking....But these are incompareble to Briony's mistake that she never be able to atone......... She did best what she's best with.... writes.................

woo la


After a week plus of bzbzbzbzbz..... finally....back here :)
i always found tones of webby, interesting one, bookmarking them...and save it for the next night or next day. but the weird thing is, everytime i sat in front of my monitor, i've got xN things to do.....i never get to open a single webby to read thru and it will stay in my bookmark forever. lols. so i never get to read them at all....damn...i hate it, but there's nthg i can fight over some stuffs on my desktop other than "firefox"

I accidentally loaded this one single video in youtube 2 days ago. "dumpling eating competition" it looks like a bunch of friends (most of them angmo) sitting outside a dumpling stall...ordered hundreds of dumpling.6-8 of the boys challenge to eat as much dumpling as possible in 12 mins or so.... and the weird thing is, that particular video brought me back to birmingham......it reminds me of the winter of birmingham...which i really miss it now.... i dunno why...i dunno why it reminds me to the winter in birm. not any brummie, not any dumplings..... i just love winter. altho it freezed me a lot.... but i just love it. imagine the cold bed u sleep in at night.....the next morning.....it's still cold... then, u'll know exactly how nice it is inside our warm bed everymorning,maybe u've always know that....

Mad Detective...Prison Break


I kinda like this film... i like the detective's mentality in this movie...it's cool....really cool...
i mean, he cut his ear down for his sir as a gift... cool eh? now come on, we all like mysterious movie eh? my frens do..... but we not psychopathic yea... how cool it is if u got a fren like him, seeing everybody's ghost...ghost which means the "devil" inside one selves.. it is true...and it is exactly how ugly humanity is.....

I have been chasing prison break for a couple of weeks.... erm, we all know it's normal to be chasing it, cos it's a 4 season drama series, now everyseason has got at least 29 episode...which makes 4 seasons........ yea... u do the maths...
i knew i'd like this drama, that's why i never wanna plant myself in it when i was in Birm. that was the 1st season when i was there, everyone in highstreet talking abt prison break, but i decided not to be one of them until... recently

now Michael Scoldfield is superb genius, he has a gift of exceeding rate of EQ, but bare in mind, this got them insane easily, unless they get a hold on it..... i admire him for the work of art and the mind he has got.... and one thg that will stay in mind forever, the famous body tattoo.....

The Happening

3 mins of phenomenon at the beginning.... so it must has got somethg to do with the weather??

Me and bro thought it was Matt Damon at 1st....wondering how come he look so old...and wondering why his act became this..."normal" in some ways... end up....oh.....Mark Wahlberg..... lol...

Written, produced and directed by M. Night Shyamalan's. M.N.S. typical style, he has to be in the movie...either in appearance or voice... haha.. this time he's playing Joey's voice...

From the 1st act of suiciding pocking through her neck till the group suiciding with pistol..... each of them were such an impact till i still remember how they die....... but the creepy part is when u see everyone stop moving, and seeing someone besides u killing themselves....even dropping themselves down the building.... my gosh, it's like almost dead by just observing how they died....

but..... it's nice to die tis way huh? painless, numb, and quick

London 2012

ok.. i have to say i'm a bit outdated...but... while i was surfing the beijing 2008 website, i saw this logo.....


about 2 years ago, it should be this logo (below)....... which is.... i personally think so so so much better than the one above... but WHY? WHY WHY WHY????? bloody hell... 400K British Pound spent on this "nice" brand..i mean... has it got so bad??? to their eyes and judgement??? and i thought the logo below was the result of the votes... i've no idea how it end up with the brand above... it was design by Wolff Olins.. well, yea, i have to admit that Wolff Olins is big and famous in the branding market.... but i have to say KinoDesign did a greater job on the brand this time... KinoDesign it a lovely design consultancy, with lovely people in it... i thought they won the bid while i was there, but....it's sad to see the changes... well some said we might think different in the next 4 years....ya...we'll see....
and i found this funny make up of London 2012 logo..LOL, great job...

The Mummy 3

"他是不是放錯戲? 他是不是放錯戲?" the stranger besides me keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep asking her bf at the beginning of the movie.... this movie started with the chinese emperor... Jet Li-the king with his adviser briefing on the incoming war..... very much laughter in the cinema...cos they have got nice humor in it... screen play is good, cos none felt bored in between.... which is... impressive... although the story line is a bit Sei kia...which is... straight forward to be nice...lol... but, it is pretty cool... sorry batman, mummy won this round...LOL
