This is part three of a short story I’ve written as a college assignment. I had a pretty good score so I thought you guys might enjoy it.

Start from part 1

On Thursday, Smashp0p, a fellow blogger, was kind enough to pass me two free tickets for a Chronicles of Narnia screening. Since I met PQ earlier the day, I invited him to watch it with me. Here’s photographical evidence:

It was the first time I met someone through a blog. Well, it we Smashp0p (third from the left) who found me in his own blog-hopping session. He gets tons of free tickets and stuff so there I was.The movie? Well, the direction was good, the cinematography was good, the story was a little predictable but it can’t be helped. Sad to say, this movie scores low on entertainment value, though there were a few funny moments. It is not for those who seek to be entertained but to experience the telling of a enchanting story.

Lazy to write a full review lah.

Anyway, here are some cool videos.

Enjoy.

My very first Christmas wishlist! This is the list of things that I want to have but probably will never get. Unless of course, people are nicer than I think they are.

(In no particular order of importance)

1. The Art of the Matrix

Similar to those Star Wars concept art and graphical books, The Art of the Matrix showcases artwork from this trilogy. The front cover itself gives a glimpse of the depth of its contents, just as the movies portray the depth of the unique story. I like digital art, I love the Matrix. Hence, I shall very much appreciate this book.

2. Final Fantasy XII (Original please)

It has been forever since the previous instalments, namely FFX-2 and FFXI, were released and now the next one will only avail itself 2006. The Japanese version will only hit Japenese shores on March so the English version will likely to take longer. Anywho, the FF series has long been accredited as some of the greatest RPGs ever created on the PS1 and PS2. FFX was indeed worthy of awesome points, and FFXII, being newer, will definitely be ten times better as Square-Enix had always managed to do so with every new instalment. The real question is how these Japanese guys do it.

3. A digital camcorder

Okay I know it costs a bomb, an arm, and two legs, but it would be totally awesome to have one. Videotaping events is not the same as taking photos of it, as it gives you better memories and all. Plus, I have always wanted to enter the independent movie industry. With a DV camera and some software knowledge, I have total control over the movies I make! But this is not a must have for me, just a luxury I need to make time for. So you can cancel it off your things to buy list.

4. Furniture – Twilight Chases The Sun

No, I’m not decorating my room with new furniture. It’s a Malaysian band called Furniture, and this is their benchmark album, Twilight Chases The Sun. Having heard solo works live from the frontman Ronnie himself, I feel that I will totally get the theme of their music. Emotional, enchanting, and almost spiritual. Of course I can only guess until I have heard them myself. See more info here. Maybe I will buy this one myself.

5. A pair of headphones

Yup. Mine’s busted. Anyone can spare fifty bucks?

6. Michio Kaku – Parallel Worlds

Written by one of the greatest theoretical physicists of the present day, Parallel Worlds is a one way trip through cosmology and the fate of the universe. This book is perfect for the theoretical science enthusiasts such as myself, though I am only a beginner. It’s really interesting to know what mankind thinks of this universe and beyond, based on logical speculation. Another reason to praise God for his infinite ingenuity in the creation of this world.

7. Creative Labs Zen Micro

An mp3 player would certainly help me as a singer-songwriter to get inspired and constantly fed by music. The Zen Micro looks slick, can store 6GB and glows nicely. Everyone is carrying an mp3 player these days. I’m stuck currently with my mono-speaker Series 60 phone.

That’s all I can think of right now. If there’s more, I will update and put a link on the sidebar later.

Launch the fireworks! Sound the trumpets! This is officially my one hundreth post since the creation of this blog! I have a whole set of stuff lined up just for you! Hope you enjoy the show.

I have just returned from a trip to Penang; this year’s church camp was pretty good. I got to Jetski for the first time, rode on a motorbike for the first time, and ate cendol for the first time (I HATE CENDOL).

Overall it was a pretty good experience, even though I was still sick on the first day. Thank God I recovered soon enough, for His grace is sufficient for me. Got to explore Penang through Francis Dunn’s fourth instalment of the Amazing Race. My team was unfortunate enough to be driven by an Indian fellow who drives people around for a fare, with a meter-less Proton. Illegal public transport? Got to meet many people, learned many new lame jokes. I feel like compiling a whole library of it right here in this blog.

It was good for a whole bunch of us retreating together to experience God. Indeed, he proved himself to be real to many, and it was pretty encouraging. My renewal of awareness of God and the fact that I was grinded by all the running the Amazing Race, I vowed to change my ways. I must take care of my body, my mind and my spirit. With God’s strength I can make it happen.

Next is the preview of X-Men 3! You can see the teaser here.

Like in most usual action thrillers, the teaser had a prominent character explaining how dire the situation will become. Looks like things will get uglier than in the second movie. Here we see Magneto somehow amassing an army for himself, we see the return of Jean Grey though not in the teaser, and even some new characters like Beast, Angel and some mutants I have never heard of. In retrospective, this Bryan Singer-directed movie should be the must watch of all comic book fans and action movie fans alike. 26 May 2006, mark your calenders.

I want to add in my Christmas wish list here but since I want to link to it, I shall make a separate post for that. And since I’m dead tired already, I shall do it tomorrow.

Lastly, I need you to help me make THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION OF MY LIFE. Here it goes:

Should I get a haircut?

This is how I currently look like, once properly combed with effort.
