++ Ninja Assasin Movie outing ++
Woah, what a great weekend I had the past few days.
On Saturday, I caught a movie at GVMax Vivocity with my friends, again.
Yes, again.
This is the 101th movie I watched in the theatres this year. Met up with the seven at Harborfront Control Station, those people are Zhenli, LingLing, YanTeng, Daren, Benny, Jian Xiang, Cheong Ghim, Wei Jie and WangTing. Yeah, it's kind of a huge group.
But as the saying goes, "the more, the merrier".
After the movie ends, we had dinner at Kopitiam, ZhenLi and I were fed-up with the food, and he suggested sending black sand to the stalls. Black Sand is a ninja clan, you see, before they kill, they will send an envelope with sand of the colour black to the victim. So, after the sucky dinner, we went for Starbucks, though only a few brought, we went to the SkyGarden.
Oh man, that's my favourite place at night. The scenery is beautiful, the stars are shining, and the moon is gorgeous. We had little chit-chats here and there, occasionally disturbed by some toddlers, who fiddled around with ZhenLi. There's no age gap between them, seriously, they thought ZL was about the same age. Hah, joking!
We went on talking about supernatural stuff, while the JianXiang gang talk about "something" else. JX was even so opened about it.
Went home then, around 12am, got a slight scolding by my mum, but I'm too tired to even bother. There's church on Sunday, yeah, but I will blog about that some times later.
So, the movie we watched, Ninja Assasin (M18).
Storyline: 6.3/10
Visual Efx: 7.2/10
Sound Efx: 7.8/10
Overall: 7.5/10
Nothing special about this movie, except that the main character is Rain. But I'm not really interested about the guy, unlike those screaming female fans. The weapons are really cool, but the shuriken is "over-estimated", it even pierce through helmets. This movie is really bloody, hands and feet flying all over the place, blood splashes all over the screen. Considered violent, not suitable for young kids, unless you want to be traumatised for two and a half days.

++ Final Year Project Planning ++
Yes, we got our story idea going on, and we're still improving on it. Actually, we're doing this for the drawing assignment, might as well plan for the whole FYP. Oh before I do anything else,
Introducing my group,
Myself - Character Designer(Sebastien)
Jian Xiang - Character Designer(Ted)
ZhenLi - Environment Artist
Benny Kan - Colorist
This is for the drawing assignment only, the whole FYP roles are different. For this project, we decided to go with a sad theme. We aim to make people cry, if there is, we know we have succeeded. But I'm not going to put the story idea here, until we secure it.
We had our first meeting yesterday, last for 3 hours, from 3 to 6. Had a lot of fun. I hope everything turns out fine. it's the final stretch, and I hope we can do it great.
And we're most probably have a movie outing this Saturday - Ninja Assasin. I'm so looking forward to it.

++ Last Small Group 2009 ++
We had our last Small Gmeeting last night at Jolyn's house. It's really fun, pizzas and stuff. I think I ate the most, 7 slices. A growing man needs to eat, a lot. Heh. There's a Bible quiz and chat among ourselves, I bet everyone enjoyed themselves and it's a bit sad that this is the last, cos' I will be moving on to College Group next year.
And I'm really happy that Zhi Rong came with us last night, he learned more about Jesus Christ, together with Pastor Vincent. We had a shortroup sharing session, and personally, I learnt quite a bit. I hope ZR will continue to follow the light, may God help him on that.
It ended really late and I got home at 11pm, thanks to Grace, who drove us home.
This morning, Jian Xiang, Zhen Li and Tong Ngan came to my house to film for the assignment for cinematography and we had a small DotA competition among us. It's fun, and Tong Ngan laughed a lot. Seriously, he farted.
After they left, we watched "My Girlfriend is an Agent". It's quite a long movie, about 2 hours. Since it's a recent movie, I'm gonna do a little review of it.
Storyline: 7.1/10
Visual Efx: 4.3/10
Sound Efx: 6.2/10
Overall: 6.5/10
I wouldn't really recommend this movie, cos' there's a lot of better ones out there currently. However the story line is quite interesting, I won't spoil it though. Really a funny movie. Period.

++ Astro Boy Movie ++
Oh my, oh my. This year is gonna be the movie-year for me. I've already watched about 10 movies this year, and I'm gonna catch Ninja Assasin and Avatar soon. But it's fun and exciting though, catching some new stuff on big screens. Learning new animation, how they do it, it's a great learning experience, unlike..
*cough*
pirated copies.
* cough*
Oh so today, we went for movie screening of AstroBoy in Iluma cinema at 9am. Holy shit, 9am? But I managed to get there in time with the others. Phew. We got seated after collecting the poster and attendance taking.
So first, there was a talk by the HK producer of the Astro Boy movie. How privileged! I kind of forget his name, but he's a funny guy. The talk was about the making-of processes, the rigs and effects and last about 40 minutes. Then they screened the movie.
So here's my little take on the movie:
Storyline: 8/10
Visual Efx: 7.4/10
Sound Efx: 6.5/10
Animation: 7.5/10
Overall: 7.3/10
Although I'm not an AstroBoy fan, I enjoyed this movie. I don't know if they changed the plot or anything. But making a 3D film out of 2D is really an amazing feat. Everything in the movie really flows well together, and the timing of the film is just right. Bravo.
After the movie, we went back to school after accompanying Jian Xiang to Kino where he bought a "not-suitable-for-kids" book. We had Pizza Hut at school. Really a big thank you to JX and Lin Jing for treating us, the whole class, to lunch.
We had class after, and everyone was sleepy. heh. But we managed to last until the end. It isn't really boring either, we textured a vehicle wheel.
Today was a fun day, it would be great if we could hang out again in the near future, as a class. Oh yeah, Ninja Assasin next week! Hope I'm not broke, I'm saving up for my SNSD stuff. haha. ^__^

++ 2012 ++
Just got back from a movie trip with my friends, and I got a message, saying they need amendments again for the church camp poster. Did some photoshop and thinking of just updating this a little bit. Haven't even bathe yet.
Went to Vivocity to meet up with my friends at 5.45pm. Was thinking that ZhenLi would be late, so I pushed the meeting time earlier, but surprisingly, he reached there pretty early. The late-comers have to treat popcorn, you see. But sadly, no one was late, I was the last one to arrive though. The others, Benny, Jian Xiang, Candice, Yeun Yian, Yan Teng and Ling Ling were there so we're good.
The movie was on 6.30pm, so we just chit-chat the time away, brought some pop-corns and drinks. Ling Ling brought a book on slimming, and we joke around. She needs 2 years, we will give her the time. Good luck!
After the movie, we went for dinner at SuperDog, Jian Xiang has kindly offer to treat everyone ice-cream. *cough* Seventy-eight dollars. *cough* Took the train home. Today was a great day, meeting up with friends for movies. Yeah.
So, the movie we watched was 2012. Seriously, this is officially one of my favourites. The effects were totally crazy and "im-ba", and it totally blow me off. The car, the plane flying through falling buildings, the earthquakes, magma, tsunamis. Holy shit. Definitely a MUST-watch movie. Disaster never look so beautiful.
So here's my ratings for this movie:
Storyline: 7.5/10
Visual Efx: 9.9/10
Sound Efx: 6.5/10
Overall: 7.8/10
So the question is, would the world really end in 21.12.2012? Every ancient relics told us that this would happen. The Bible, the Mayan calender, the ancient chinese tribe, and what else. The world will end, and a new world will be reborn.
Do you believe? I guess that's up to each individual.

Win, win, win.
My mum went to the travel agency today, and found out that they raised the price, again. I guess we won't be going to Taiwan this year then. Damn it, got me excited for nothing. I think my cousin, Grace's family will be going, since they are loaded.
But next year, around Feb, I think, I think we will be going to China with some of our friends for New Year. And Taiwan during year end. I hope.
Such a great dissapointment. Oh well. I still got so many plans on hand anyway.
- School assignments, FYP (Final year Project) etc.
- Order some SNSD stuff online, trying to save a bit more currently, the shipping cost kills. I'm still considering what to buy.
- Movies with classmates this week. Watching "2012" most probably.
- Furnish my house.
- Plan Christmas party.
- Design poster for church camp.
Good luck to me and God bless.
That's probably how I'm feelin' right now. (Sunny's so adorable~)

Last week was a really relaxing week.
We have no school on Wednesday and Thursday, but we had to go to MDA for a talk on Friday. Who cares? It's fun anyway, a little class trip and I won a really huge Jennifer's Body poster. It's pretty much the size of a bus-stop advert. It's huge, and with Megan Fox on it. Awesome.
After the trip, I went to visit JiaJia, and the enxt day, I actually visited him again, no idea why I did so. Grandma's birthday on Saturday, we treat her to Crystal Jade. Happy Birthday, Grandma! God bless you. She's really a lovely and caring lady, although a little talkative, I really love her.
Sunday, as usual, went to church, did some duties, and off to the travel agency. I'm so excited about the upcoming trip to Taiwan/Hong Kong, it's been a while since I travelled on air, well 2 years to be exact, the last was China. I hope it would be great fun and this time, we decided not to go with any tour groups, so we could roam around freely. Just the thought of going there, makes me feel so excited. This trip is gonna be fun! I hope, no, it must be fun, and it will be.
Being the kid I am. I hate to admit it, but I'm still a kid, I can't grow up.

Updating after a really long break.
School was fun, there's a new guy, I hope things go well for him and us, maybe some bonding or something. We have acting classes for this semester, it's fun, but we have to do a presentation. Oh my gee, I hate presentations. The assignment for 3D was over, so it's great.
Internship and Final Year Project are coming next year, yet we have to find our group mates now. And, I found it hard to reject someone, when that person was so serious. So I just joked around.
On a side note, Father brought us to the BodyWorld exibition at Science Centre, where they exibit those dead humans and animals, those blood vessels, muscles, body parts and all, it's really amusing how a person was born, aged and died. We went to the previous exibition before, at Expo some years back, so some of them were the same. Mother didn't go, but she met us for dinner at IMM. Had Ajisen, and brought some clothes. Need to buy more to fill up my wardrobe, I noticed I've been wearing the same thing over and over again.
Gee gee, I'm really addicted to SNSD currently, and I feel like I'm beginning to like Korean Pop more. Been surfing SoshiFied alot, posting here and there, and making icons for the forums. Oh yeah, I did mention before I was taking up Korean by my own, through online videos. I really hope I can perservere through and not give up halfway. Heh. I'm still finding more source for me to learn.
Knowing and writing is not enough, I think speaking is the best way to learn a new language. I'm glad YanTeng and gang are taking Korean too, so maybe next time, we could practice a little.
That's it for this really long update. Annyeong~
