of the transformers movie (watched)...



yupp, my childhood dream came through (albeit via CGI)

it was awesomeeeeeeee

the purists will always have a bone to pick
the story ain true enough
bumblebee shld be a small beatle
too many human scenes not enough robot ones
megatron is ugly (he is actually...)

but it was amazing really
if not for anything else
but for the fact that i actually grew up wanting to be an autobot

not a rock star, or doctor, or lawyer
but an autobot

i always dreamt as a lil boy that i will find a pair of gold bangles and when i wear them, and clang them together, i will transform into a little robot that can merge with a car as its head/weapon/engine and become a big robot.

so you can probably imagine how i was gripped to my seat the entire movie.
The scene near the end at the traffic junction, when the boy runs away with the cube to hide and it's just Prime and Megatron.. and he said

" MEGATRON!!
today...
one shall stand..
and one shall fall.. "

there was a collective gasp from the cinema audience
(actually mainly just the 25 - 35 yr old men)
those were the famous lines prime utter before he was shot and damaged and eventually died in G1 transformers.

all in all, it was a dream came true for this little autobot.
and baby bought me a Mr Potato Head optimus prime
which I thought was awesome!!

i hope they make a part II

of the AdSense...



here's this new thing i found

it's NOT gonna earn u $5,000 / mth
more like a couple of dollars a day
which is fine for recreational bloggers like me (and maybe u?)
i don't have to do anything, and it helps pay for my domain registration

u just need to register,
cut out the code and put it on your website
that's it
you don't do anything else
you get paid when people view or click on the ads that display on your page

you could look on the right of this page and scoll down a little until you see the "Ads by Google" thing. that's basically wat appears on your page also, you can customize how big you want the ads to be and what kind of ads go on there.



To sign up, jus click the square button that looks like this on the right side of this page. It's that easy.

Have fun!!

of the shiseido ad...



see youtube video above

it's a shiseido ad that joy showed me

amazing,
thruout the ad, the Shiseido brand was not mentioned or shown at all until the very end. but people remember these kinda ads.

super emo ad. power.

lyrics rougly translate into:

Today he left.
I knew it wasn't going to work out.
But, he had a faint smile on his face. . .

My mother,
who used to wipe away my tears at times like this,
is gone too. . .

I can forget. I can forget.
And become someone new.
I can forget. I can forget.
I can forget. I think I can.

I can forget. I can forget.
And become someone new.
I can forget. I can forget.
I can forget. I think I can.

*When you become someone new,
a more beautiful tomorrow is certain.

For a moment.
For a lifetime.
Beautifully.

Shiseido.

of the doors...



(note that some of the seemingly chauvanistic views discussed below were actually thrown up by a woman)

so i was havin coffee with an annoymous friend
(let's call her L for discussion's sake)

and we were talkin about a "situation" that seems to be gettin quite prevalent these days, like how me and L both personally have female frens who are experiencing this...
how mid-20s women, graduates, well-speaking, relatively successful in their careers, relatively hot, all seem to NOT be meetin good men

many issues were thrown up;
how good men are either all married or gay
how some women are "dating down" - dating men that are lower-educated, or earning a smaller paycheck than them, etc
how *gasp* some of these women including L, are considering going for SDU activities
how due to education, financial independence, social status, that they actually don't NEED a man to get by, but at the end of the day, they are but still - women.

i actually think it's quite important to not shut doors
u don't have to open every door each time u hear a knock
but slam each door shut and u will never find out wat could potentially possibly be behind them.

that said,
it is also important that we, as human beings, have standards
it doesnt have to be sky-high standards
but to expect from others what others have come to expect of you
that's pretty fair? no?

i think L shld jus get out more
meet more people, do more things, go to more places.

and her being her,
i'm pretty sure she'll be just fine..

of the mahjong sessions...



this post is for fei and weixiong
cos i reckon only they can understand what we're talkin about

i think the moment was best captured during a msn conversation at 5am when we were both eatin Macs we ordered from macdelivery, and weixiong said:

"k*#, we shld be playing mj now lor"

funny how a seemingly routine event gets so etched into our lives that when it's gone? we actually draw association from other objects/events that reminds us of it...

it could be a game of mj, a person (or persons), a movie we watched 10 yrs ago, a song we hear on late night radio, a page of our yearbook, a blog of a stranger

the things in life we touch, or touch us.

*mutters*
pls let me siong pls let me siong

of the exploding dog...


"has it been one year already?"

i can't be sure if i've wrote about this before
but here it is again

click http://www.explodingdog.com/

the website is about this guy called sam who draws pictures from titles that his readers sends him, and i actually think his pictures rock. yes, granted they are stick figures (you arty-farty elitist pig if u snorted) haha.. but i think the stick figures capture the titles very nicely...

sam's got a gift. he manages to use simple colors and stick figures to put forward sometimes "heavy" themes into a simple illustration. and i think therein lies its beauty - its simplicity.

life's complicated enough most times, we gotta keepit simple.

enjoy the website.
