| Semester Two Begins...
|
| The first week of semester 2 has been an okay time... compared to the previous semester... the subjects are on average less boring... For the engineering side of the semester... I've got Applied Mathematics which is a continuation from the previous semester's Maths and Civil Engineering Introduction which is so far basically all reading stuff... the subject is basically the history and theory stuff about civil engineering... kinda weird actually... Then there is the commerce side which I have Introductory Macroeconomics and Quantitative Methods... I have to say that Micro is much more interesting compared to Macro... or at least the lecturer is... and so far the only thing I know about QM is that the lecturer is British and he will reward the person who finds him the most dodgy statictics article... But all in all... it been pretty okay... Cheers... |

| The Perfect Man
|
| Actually I have to admit I only wanted to watch this show because Chris Noth is in it... I think most of you won't know who that is... He is "Mr. Big" in Sex & The City... He's so gorgeous... Anyway... it's about this girl, Holly (Hilary Duff), who has been subjected to moving all around the country because of her mother... whom everytime she gets heartbroken... and it happens pretty often... would move to a new place... Her latest location is Brooklyn and she's sick of moving... So she decides to invent the prefect man to keep her mother pre-occupied... But one lie leads to another and things get out of control... Well like all the other Hilary Duff movies... it's not been a hit... An okay movie to watch but not worth going to the theatre for... |

| Charlie and The Chocolate Factory
|
| Oh I absolutely love the story and the movie has done it justice... Everyone should already know the story of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory... if you don't... I'm shocked!!! Well I just really love the story and so it really doesn't matter who's in it... but I think Johnny Depp made Willy Wonka really cute and funny... and slightly scary... Definitely recommended for everyone and anyone... My absolute favouite part was the glass elevator... very cool... Though...some parts of the story differed from the book... but it worked... So yeah... another summer movie to catch... Cheers... |

| Herbie: Fully Loaded
|
| I'm not sure if you have seen the old Herbie movies... I think there is more than one... But I remember watching one... The new addition is about a girl, Maggie, the girl in the famous Peyton legacy... The Peytons have been known to be great NASCAR racers... but since an accident some time ago during a street race... Maggie's father banned her from racing again... Now she is the first Peyton to graduate from college and is bound to work for ESPN... However things change when her father decides to get her a graduation present... a new old car... where she found the once great racing sensation Herbie, a little bug... Being a proud little racing car that Herbie is... he got Maggie into a challenge with the current NASCAR champion and won... After that things evolved into Maggie racing for the family NASCAR team... Finally realising her racing passion and legacy... A nice family movie to watch on the weekends with friends and family... with some popcorn... Ok so it isn't the best movie I've seen... but it a Disney... it's fun... it's funny... who can ask for anything more... Cheers... |

| Bewitched
|
| I was rather dissapointed with this particular summer movie... I thought the storyline lacked substance and the whole movie itself wasn't very entertaining... I really don't know what to say about it... maybe except that I think Nicole Kidman did a good job with the nose wiggling... Hahaha... |

| The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants
|
| I very much enjoyed this movie... and I think that it suffered a lack of publicity... It's a shame really because I think the messages, though a little tacky, are really touching... and I think the movie is really touching... Basically it's about this 4 best friends who are 4 rather different people but they have been through everything together... But that summer they were all heading off on their own to do their own stuff and before they went off they found a pair of pants that mysterious managed to fit them all... So they decided to share the pair of jeans where they each have it for a week... At first it seemed that all the jeans brought them was bad luck but then they realised that it was really changing their lives to what they have always hoped it would be and give them strength to confront their fears... So yeah I think if you've got the chance go watch it because I think it's a pretty decent movie... Cheers... |

| Bad Flight...
|
| In all my years of flying... which is for about 10 years... I had the second worst flight yesterday on my way back to Melbourne... First delay... then my entertainment system was rather crap... then loads of turbulance... but that's a natural thing so it cannot be blamed... then the landing was really terrible... I think the pilot must have been new... My worst ever experience was on American Air... man that was terrible... but that was very long ago... when everyone still had to share one single screen at the front of the section... So yeah... I'm really disappoited with MAS... But considering this was one out of the many MAS flights I've had... I can't hold it against them... Cheers... |

| Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince
|
No worries everyone... this is NOT A SPOILER... just a general review... So in book 5 (Harry Potter & The Order Of The Phoenix) we were left wondering "what now" after the wizarding community FINALLY realise that "He Who Must Not Be Named" is really back... Now in book 6... we are introduced to a rather shocking yet not unexpected secret of one of the members of the order which might shake things up a little... and also a rather important character only to be known as the "Half-Blood Prince" until the very end of the book... this character seemed to be helping Harry in school quite a lot but then things took a turn for the worst... Harry also becomes more and more annoying in the sense that he is even more impatient than ever to get rid of Lord Voldermort and solve his little mysteries... Harry also depends less on his two compatriot whom we have seem helped him out so much throughout his time in Hogwarts and most importantly... the book tells of the many different and yet very much influential "relationships" between the characters of the story... My overall view of the book... much better than the previous book... It seems that Rowling is regaining her flair slightly... and with that I'll leave you to read the book on your own... HOWEVER if you are someone like me... aka like spoilers... head on to my TV Series Synopsis blog... Cheers...

| Fantastic Four
|
| Ok... so before I watched it I heard much praise from friends and reviews... But... I found it to be unworthy of all the praise it has been getting... Sure it is rather entertaining but I thought it lacked depth... Too much individual antics but not much group hero work and in total not enough work put into the action aspect of the movie... Nothing much else to say... |

| Batman Begins... Christian Bale Rocks!!!
|
| Man oh man... Batman makes a G-R-E-A-T come back... after a rotten spell with Batman & Robin... and I would definitely have to say that a lot of the credit goes to our new Batman... CHRISTIAN BALE... He is hot hot hot... The storyline was well developed and had enough action to satisfy the hunger but not too much that would make you saturated... Well directed by Christopher Nolan who made Katie Holmes less annoying than usual and supported by a good cast which included Liam Neeson, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman... I would make this the BEST of all the summer movies...If you have not caught it... you have no idea what you are missing...!!!! SO GO WATCH IT!!!! Cheers... |

| Fuss Over LiveStrong Bands... A Shame...
|
| Since I came back to KL I've been seeing these "pirated" LiveStrong bands being sold everywhere... and it makes me so mad!!!! I bought my original LiveStrong band in Melbourne thinking its worth it since the money goes to the cancer foundation... And now these wannabe cool people are buying the "pirated" bands just so they can be "in"... how lame is that... I mean it's fine if they had bought the original one but no... they'd rather buy the fake ones that the stall owners are keeping all the profits... The only reason I can think of why they would rather buy the fake ones is because they come in more colours... but that's it... Come on... that's NOT a good excuse to be cheating off the cancer foundation... Sigh... |

| War Of The Worlds
|
| Ok... so the much talked about Tom Cruise movie... Well okay... basically it's about a long time planned alien invasion being carried out... The plan was to exterminate the human race... and the whole movie was basically depicts Ray (Cruise) running and hiding from the aliens with his children to get them to Boston to meet his ex-wife... The movie was quite good... filled with suspense but it just wasn't enough for me... and furthermore the ending was a little sudden... and hardly made any sense at all... I think if you don't know the story or didn't read the book you would be a little confused... I blame the script writer... But I think overall it's quite entertaining... and like usual Dakota Fanning put a a great show as a scared little girl... ;p Cheers... |

It's basically about this 17 year old girl who works for (or rather with) her father a private detective and ex-sheriff of Neptune, California. She attends Neptune High while solving crimes in school and around town and also work on her best friend's murder. She's smart, witty, funny, and very cunning.
