Wow

Ok so meddling around my digital footprints and here I am, remembering this place, got to hand it to WordPress team that keeps everything intact through so many years, the migration from a bare minimum legacy website just for blogging to the media connection tech today.

Gone are the days I have to manually adjust widgets, figuring out images file type and size to upload, borders colours and themes to customize to make the pages more friendly and pleasing to the eye while keeping some kind of personlization in it. Now it’s just figuring out which tab to dive into, drop downs, flipping the numerous variables. Well it’s an improvement I guess, just not with the digging part which we still need to do.

That’s similar to our lives isn’t it. Digging for stuffs. What is our friends up to, what schemes are our relatives cooking, which bitch is our spouse cheating on, where did I put my keys god damn it. Oh right we don’t have to censor our words anymore as cussing is mainstream now in media. Yes so digging for stuffs. Information. How to do this piece of work crap, how to flip the omelets so it retains the crescent moonshape, how to unplug the sink without getting shit all over the kitchen. Everything is searchable, watchable now even with videos tutorial, which following the wrong one that needs a whole tutorial just to understand the original tutorial. But yeah you get what I mean.

So getting back in here seems like the universe wants it, wanted me to start writing stuffs, reviews maybe. It has an app now so it will be easier, harder for me to find and excuse not to do it or forget. Humans are literally online when they are awake, but the irony is they are still asleep in life, sleepwalking through it. Take away the techs, you take away their amour. Yes if the Aliens are reading this, we don’t only wear mask now, we have an amour created by our online persona.

Ok I have to go back to digging what other new features this thing have, till the next one.

Re*

Just fooling around to see if this still works after a trigger from a music playlist. Funny how the brain works, huh? That’s one of the reasons why I studied this years ago.

Totally surprised this domain is still alive. Everything is still here after more than a decade. Back then, techs were not that stable, or maybe I didn’t know it yet. Since then, technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. Ironically, it’s harder to lose anything online these days. Even if you want it to disappear.

The title is befitting for this post for obvious reasons. Also, one of the frequent prefixes I’m using, easily connecting to any word in any sentence (but of course not those that we will like to use like “re-troll” or “re-f*”), just think about it. That being said, I might not revisit this place; it’s too easily tracked and monitored nowadays.

See what I mean.

Reopened

So school reopened. I’ve finally broke free from the social pressures and the Singaporean dream, to re-pioritised my life.

It’s never always about me, it’s always trying to fix things and understand people that’s what drives me forward everyday. Yes I admit getting suck into the rat race was a major mistake on my part, experiencing the lowest point of my life practically alone. The learning journey is unforgettable even when I’m typing this entry I can feel the reverberations.

Ok I’m getting drowsy on the bus, gona power nap before learning even more new things about the human mind.

Pacific Rim

Robots fighting monsters. How bad can such a movie be right. Ok it’s pretty good I must say.

As the story goes, giant monsters have been appearing through portals, so humans built giant robots to stop them. Action scences are good, acting wise could be better. I don’t mind adding another 30min to explain abit more on the drift system and the aliens. Overall still one of the better movies this summer, 7.5/10. Watch it peeps.

Hangover?

Ok ok I know, this review is duper late. I kept writing on other blockbusters week after week I forgot about this particular one. Blame it on the hangover .

So this instalment is better than the 2nd but not as good as the 1st. Basically the story is on chow escaping and coming back to find Alan. The pack doesn’t approve of it and throwing in a mob boss who want back the money chow stole, you’re in for a ride. Jokes are not as funny but there’s Afew good ones. Actings great all around. I’ll definitely recommend anyone who wants to relax at the end of the day to watch this show. 7/10, entertaining show I must say.

Man of steel

One of the much awaited shows of the summer, dropped his red underwear.

Overall story is not too bad. Building up from krypton to some struggles he faced while realising he’s different. The only downside is there are too many fight scenes. Just 1 or maximum 2 fight scenes with Zod is enough, anything more and you’ll feel “here we go again”. One thing is that they are super human so practically they won’t suffer any major damage, which makes the fights quite boring, and my friend actually fell asleep.

On another note, Louis lane is abit old, can’t feel her fiery character that sometimes have superman at his wits end. Well, there’s room for improvement. Hopefully on the next instalment, or if there’s a justice league, we’ll see a more goody superman that no matter how evil the villains or humans are, he still manage to do the right thing to prove them wrong. 6/10 rating for this one.

Now you see me? Now you don’t

Continue with the summer blockbuster release is now you see me this week. Looking at the trailers I thought it is part magic part sci-fi action. I was wrong.

It was mainly illusions and sleight of hands. So it was really good. Pace of the story was not bad, keep you constantly thinking who was the one behind pulling the strings. Overall acting was good, Jesse eissenberg can do comedies for a long time with his dead expression. Couldn’t quite get him off the social network character stigma. Isla Fischer is good as an eye candy in the show. Another good show to catch and escape into the magicians world for a bit after a hard week of work
7.5/10.

Great Gatsby

Caught this latest movie last wk finally. Overdued post really, due to tiredness from work, sorry peeps. Anyhow, back to the movie.

For those who’ve read the book would expect the movie to be as good, which in turn would disappoint most of the time. So going into this with an open mind, story line was good with the mystery unfolding bit by bit till it becomes a romance flick. Still strong performance by Di carpio as usual. Supporting casts are not bad too. Overall would be a 6.5 due to some scenes being abit too long, like the flash backs.

Alright, Hangover 3 will be my next review. Actually It’s quite good despite all the negative reviews. Well till then.

Fast 6

Caught 2 blockbusters this weekend. Lets start with the speedy one. As most of you should know, it’s all action and for those who follow the franchise, the lead actor came out if retirement from crime to find back his love.

An entertaining movie overall with some unneeded scenes. By now the final runway scene should be viral everywhere for being infinite long. Gona rate it a 7 as it was abit too long for my liking. Off to next review. Stay tune. M

Ironman 3

I know I know. This review should have come earlier. Was dazing off in trains and such and kept bumping into colleagues, that’s the excuse.

Aight so the first of marvels avengers phase 2 started with the ‘leader’. As the story goes, tony started to feel insecure without his armour as more and more villains of terrifying abilities appear to threaten everything he loved. Even mistakes he made came back to haunt him. That’s where ‘extremis’ came in.

So this movie should focus more about Toby’s struggles as ironman, CEO, boyfriend, and himself. And maybe how far he would go with extremis inside him. So I can understand why so many people are being let down by the latest film. Still the action scenes kinda balance it out.

Will still rec ppl to watch it tho, 6.5/10
Enjoy the week ppl.
