differences

This years Christmas is going to be so different for me. A well what can I say with an emoing grandpa. Kinda frustrated that some people though suppose to know me very well cannot see my current frustration and expects me to be as cheerful as ever and still give as much attention to them and agree to everyone of their request. Annoyingly.
Dad's stuck in Vietnam, well seems like till retirement this time, and mom's going to be as good as migrating to Vietnam so that means that I won't very well be in Kluang very often i guess. Though hopefully during my sem breaks I can still come back and find a family in Kluang. Already now This is predicted to be the last Christmas we will be having together as a family due to all this movements all round the globe. Though it sounds nice that we are everywhere, but truth is it's very lonely a thing, and it's something none of us are used to. dad's in Vietnam, Brothers in Singapore and now mom soon to be in Vietnam . Predicting that during my sem break in May, I won't really have a place to come home to.( I'm not talking about a physical building here)
Christmas this year is closely speculated that it won't be celebrated with dad around, and it's already a feeling nasty enough to make anyone sick. Looks like last year was the last Christmas I spend with my family. And what makes me sick is I spend most of my Christmas at that time going for caroling.(Which is what makes me so mood-less to go for caroling now) Thank God mom facebook a lot. Or in the future, there will be pratically no way other than calling to know if anyone of us is even alive.
I used to take it for-granted that mom and dad won't be going anywhere. Or at least I will go to the whatever place when they are shifting also. Back then when there was barely any bond forged with anyone to be a close friend. It didn't really occur to me till now. Being home with almost everyone's heart else where feels strange. Coming home to a home that I don't really come back to does feels like I'm not home. Where is home? College seems more like home due to the loneliness I can feel here to a certain extend. But yet college wears out every bit of my energy staying there.
Coming to think of it,if I'm to be able to reverse time, I would try to make sure I choose paths that puts me on the right track with my family. Which I didn't.

Movie reviews

Okay, now for a bit of movie reviews as I been watching a lot of them lately.
to a certain extend, I do believe that I'm quite critical about movies, never the less, I will let you all decide on that.
First one up.
2012
Despite being rated pg-13, the show is awfully long for people from that age onwards. Assuming that all ages after 13 will watch the show 2.45 hours is too long for an old man to sit in, too long for ages below 15 to sit still after a while in my opinion, and of course, sitting on that chair for such a long time staring in one direction is definitely going to be straining on anyone. Then again, I think it was expected that the movie be that long.
I will give credit to the special effects of the show because that is about what is keeping the show going and preventing it from becoming like another national geographic channel show, only this is a movie. The sound effects and the motion of the pictures will really impose the worlds end feeling on you though of course, most of what is in the movie is not at all going to happen. The movie did portray what will happen in the upper class of people, that is corruption, but that's also the drawback of the movie, nothing much showing suffering to the humans side, more to how the main stream people escape, funnier is so many escape it without even a scratch though no one anticipated it save a handful of fanatics.much to the opposite of the Korean show tsunami which went down to the heart of how humans suffered badly. For a box office show, the story line is pathetic, but then again, what else can we expect from a show that is closer to a documentary than a movie entertainment.
conclusion
I say this is 1 good movie to watch in the cinema, you will miss out the fun the special effects can give you if you go for DVD, much worse if you go for pirated ones. Don't expect too much, but you can bring your family for this one. Nothing religious in there, just some science bullshit that got people all worked up.

Ninja assassin
Though this is one movie my brother and I enjoyed,I have to admit it does hav it's areas of disappointment.
I believe pg-18 is an under-rating for the level of violence to the movie. More like a 21 to me. Ninja's a word that is definitely making the show sounds so much less violent, shin-obi should be a better one. Indeed these Japanese have some sick ways to kill people quickly. But that aside, since we were expecting nothing less than that, the show is one that will keep your eyes glued to the screen with it's non-stop actions. Every twist and turn from the ninjas are worth wows coming up from your mind.
The story line is horrible. Not that there is none, but I guess the focus is not on the story line but how well the ninja's can fight and how good looking rain is. Quite pathetic the show becomes there. Many a times you will quite find the acting pointless in that position and makes it seems obvious it's by script, and some parts of the movie don't tally with each other. then again, the movies short. About 1 hour plus, a bit too short for this kinda show to allow any plots to truly unfold and by time it finish, all you will be thinking is how well the actor fought but to a certain extend cannot understand the reason for him fighting whether it's for freedom or revenge or for both or for something else.
I would say the director didn't do much of his homework because of the scene portrayed by the movies, lack of depth in every area, and to a certain lvl, randomness. Can't expect much from these movies can we? Well, like 2012, the effects are good, but this is just so-so. If the director had smaller names up for the show with less talent than rain, it's a goner for him for sure. At the most a DVD bought will be too nice for him.

A Christmas carol
I didn't expect this show to be rated pg-13. Probably because it has a fair amount of horror elements in it. Not my kinda show to watch cos I don't like horror shows, get's me scared at night, though my brother said this one is a breeze. If the director intends to portray the ghost to be scary for a cartoon, I think he did well considering the show is also pg-13, so there is a limit to the horror that he can conjure. For die hard horror fans, this is not repeat not your show despite ghostly appearance to haunt, but it's a good show for outing and going out with friends. Why the day I went to watch 2012, my friend brought his girlfriend to watch this show and came out satisfied. The story line is good and closely connected to the moral that the show intends to portray. Then again you can also say because the show is already planned out nicely due to the numerous times people have tried to direct it and that the story also originated from a well established book. Considering from the rating that it is given, all kinds of crowd will be watching this show, so it's more like a family outing show. Is it suitable for that? Yes. Thumbs up from me.

twilight new moon.
Ya i watched it. Why? surprised? Haha. Well, it really isn't my kind of show actually. Have to admit that the story line is somewhat more for the group range for 13-16. No wonder it's rated pg-13 anyway. For a romance catering for the age group to that range, I will give credit that there is a pretty good story line, Though from the type of show it is, I'm expecting girls all the way up to 24 will be trying to pull their boyfriends in for this one, unless they are having long distance relationships. Ahem, anyway. Up to 24 of age? Now this is why the story line starts to look strange, and wishy washy, making me rather watch anime again. A lot of un required fighting scenes for a romance show, then again if the fighting scenes are there, it's not so bad for the guys. But when the characters fight like second hand underworld vampires and forest wolves, then that's a rip of. But hey this is a romance show. ( Vampire knights way better than this) Anyway. Time to rate.

There you have it. This holidays movies are rather sloppy.

flying officer major bigglesworth

Major James Bigglesworth known in the flying circle as Biggles, also known as Sargent Biggles in the CID realm. Is this guy real? Apparently not. He is a fiction character in the boys story book written by W. E. Johns.
I grew up reading and following the entire series. The story line,Biggles is a war pilot and also a police special force pilot. Need I explain more about what kinda adventures that you should expect him to encounter? The story evolves mainly around him and another 2 characters known as Ginger and Algy. At the first I didn't know what Algy means till I checked the dictionary. I started reading the series around form 1 or so. Old book series are hard to come by, and though I should have grown out of it long ago, due to the genuineness of the story line, I still find myself reading it as bed time stories often. The plots are always interesting and trilling. W. E. Johns was a war pilot during the great wars, and the stories are based mainly on his experience and the stories that he heard from his co-pilots.
Needless for me to say that Biggles is a British as W. E. Johns also a British. subtle propaganda against the Germans and once in a while the Japanese also. I got my collections mainly from my dad and my uncle as these books are really old, and no, this post is not to publish that they are for sale, why they are my so-called antique treasures. haha.
Apart from buying and building countless airplane models, I used to indulge myself in endless books on world war 2. I can even tell you the names of the first 4 German jet fighters. From young, I did want to be a pilot. i still do, but the dream is restricted to wanting to fly. Probably have an adventure by bringing a bunch of friends, hopefully my future wife on a flying trip to Africa's amazon for a holiday. Seriously, that is what I dream for as a vacation. Though it sounds so Movie like. Yea, flying have always been and still is my dream. I might even enroll into a flying club when I grow up.
Anyway, back to my childhood books, or teenage worlds dream books?
my favorite few of the series were





ok, that's all folks
