Marvel flexes its muscle yet again – The Incredible Hulk

May 14, 2008

After the grand glamourous opening of Ironman, fans of marvel superheros are hunger for more action-trilled sequels. The Incredible Hulk is hitting the cinemas nationwide on 13 June during the Summer holiday. Yet another CGI effect-mopped blockbuster, everyone seems never had enough of it. It is the second installment following The Hulk (2003) directed by Lee Ang. Everyone knew that movie was a disasterious flop (Which was totally ignored like an unwanted mutant).

It was filled with emotional dialogues and lacked the action thrills. What I knew was that Hulk could really jumped very far. Haha! Well, let us put the past behind and look forward to the upcoming sequel.  I am glad that Lee Ang eventually came to senses realising action-packed movie wasn’t his forte at all!Subsequently, Lee Ang shot to fame with Brokeback Mountain (more to his type). Enough of him!

This movie is directed by Louis Leterrier (directed Transporter 1&2). With such pedigree, I am sure Louis is going to let the audiences eye ball roll with unbelieving stunts and breathtaking moves as we have seem in his previous productions.  Tony Stark (a.k.a Iron Man) will also make a suprise apearance in the movie. So much surprises and anticipation awaits. This movie surely makes the cut yet another biggest movie of this summer.

Good News – Ironman II – set to be released on 30 April 2010

The “Unplugged” Day

May 13, 2008

Laptop mummified!!!

I came across this website http://52nightsunplugged.ning.com. It is a grassroot movement campaigned by a group of tech greeks, internet addicts, Blackberry thumbers and compulsive instant messagers to wrest back control of their lives by daring to completely cut off from technology even if it is only for a day (a.k.a secular Sabbath) . It forces you to re-engage with the real world. One night a week for a year, you are going to completely unplug from anything with a screen.

Have you been scrolling up and down the mobie phone’s menu inhabitually when there are no expecting calls or incoming messages? Watching videos of Madonna’s latest MTV (Hard Candy) on YouTube for hours not realising you have piles of paperworks to be completed? Surfing on the Internet aimlessly at hime instead of going out for a run? In some cases, blogging in their dreams and hearing imaginery instant messages.  Well, all these are tell tale signs of technology addiction. It is time to unplug!

Recently, Strait Times interviewed our very own local star blogger, Mr. Miyagi, mentioned that blogging has become a part of his life, he even blog while he is doing shitty business in the toilet. In this era, technology has taken over our life and became part of us. It is time to get your life back. Can Gadget-loving Singapreans live up to the challenge?

In this fast moving society, many work-obessed Singaporean being connected and cotactable 24/7 isnt just a modern day addiction they just cannot shake off, but a necessary evil to stay or get ahead. More Importantly, we have take for granted that email should always be replied to promptly, often within 24 hours and SMSes to be attended to immediately. Thus, the expectation has come about because norms have been formed around it.

Warning: Intruders will be executed!!!

Sundays are usually switchoff-days for me anyway, like many Singapreans, many waking up in time for lunch. For me, exams is only 4 weeks away from now. I am setting a curfew to restrict the number of hours spent on computer. It should be a breeze through as though.  Leading a normal life. Ordinary indeed! Are you game for it? If you seriously considering to give it a try, don’t wait and start now.  Haha. Look at what I have done to my sister’s laptop. Hehe.

OMG! This girl is totally brilliant – Connie Talbot

May 6, 2008

When i saw this clip, my first expression was “Wow! only six years old and she can sing so well!” Err… What was I doing when I was her age? Probably, stacking sand castle at the playground. Haha! Connie Talbot was only six when she entered TV talent search competition Britain’s GOT Talent last year, abeit to American Idol. Her rendition of Garland’s Over The Rainbow was unspeakably brilliant. Not only she melted the icy heart of one of the judges, Simon Cowell, and blown off the whole audience floor with her steady and powerful vocal. Eventually, she lost out to Paul Potts in the finals.  Not only she is brilliant, also she is courageous. Everyone enjoys!

May Day

May 1, 2008

It was a socialist gathering in Paris in 1889 that Labour was born. At the International Socialist Congress then, 400 delegates from 20 countries met and voted to hold an international demontration to push for an eight-hour work day. The date set was May 1890. Since then May day is a day where angish labours and unions lashes the street in potest and marches with banners for better employment terms and working conditions. Not in Singapore though. Let us look at what is going around the world today. For me, this is just another day to get by. It isn’t meant for unemployed…Haha!
