UOL Mathematics Bridging Course brought me a lot of doubts on certain topics and questions although it is great to learn. I am still excitied to progress further!!!!!! AJA AJA!Afternoon DMSFT schedule struck me that afteroon schedule will result havning too many project assignments. Comparing semester 2 and semester 4(both of them are held in afternoon), there is no question about it.
Following up the previous blog entry i have wrote about Arthur and my conversation, we strongly believe that we can do away without superitious,culture and religion. WHY? Who care what you do?Although such holiday like Christmas Day, Chinese New Year will encourage family members to meet each other, nobody care what you do end of the time. This thing can be invaild if you have very happy and united family. Debate can go on forever and it never close easily because there are a lot of voids to answer for.
Meanwhile i had my door lock,letter lock and padlock changed at the cost of estimated of $100 plus. There is a couple who offer the services to change door lock and letter lock and town council in my home area recommend them to me. Friendly and kind attitude struck me that they are good family as if they care each other and love each other. I am quite impressed and surprised to see a lady working with him. I assume that this lady is his wife. Furthermore, he was friendly to take care of my things and myself before i left for school.
About one month ago,i was reading an interesting thing about Malaysian people saying that Singapore will sink in few years time.It sound as if it is some sort of 'Japan Sinks' movie. This conversation reminded me of a animation serie called One Piece where there is a island called Water7. It is very very small island but best of best ship yard in the world. It survive by building tall buildings for people to have shelter there each time the sea level increase and increase for certain point of day and month. It really brought me tears when Straw Hat crew tried to save each other as the sea level went sky high that the islanders couldn't believe it. It was one hell piece of good story. I simply never forgot about it.
Ikebukuro West Gate Park(池袋ウエストゲートパーク)(Japanese Drama 2000)
Synopsis:
Living in an area known for its juvenile crime, 21 year-old Makoto has become a member of a youth gang called the G-Boys. Known for his cool head and ability to get things done, Makoto becomes a key trouble-shooter for the gang by diffusing tense situations and keeping his friends out of harm's way. However, the death of his girlfriend and an escalating turf war with a rival gang threaten to be more than Makoto can handle.
Opinions:
At first, i was bored with episode 1 but i was perked by youthful actions from youngsters and early 20s people. A bit character of Makoto remind me of myself especially when i am not very concerned in ogling girls and most of the stuffs.
In this show, a unknown girl appeared in his life and she began involved in most of his life. Knowing that he will be happy around her, he began to value her more.
Like him, he has only mother in his family as well as me although i have sister.
In fact,the closet family member i feel is my mother. I really envy this Makoto's mother because she was always there to play with him unlike my mother.
Each time his mother attempt to cheer or poke fun at him, he pretend to throw fit. In opposite way, my mother nags me for silly reason, i do pretend to throw fit in attempt to stop it.*grin* It is really so alike in some ways hence i continued watching till the ending.
Rating:6/10
Bonus:Meaningful ending where people need to realise that violence is not worthwhile without any sense.
300(Hollywood Movie 2007)
Synopsis:
It is spring, 480 BC Persian King Xerxes, continuing his fathers, Darius, master plan to conquer the Hellenic city-states, arrives in Hellas. The previous Persian invasion and diplomatic attempts have already turned most northern Hellas tribes and states to the Persian side. But the people of Athens and Sparta, the largest Hellenic powers at the time, feel quite insulted by the Persian emissaries requesting their surrender to Xerxes and slay them. In Sparta, King Leonidas consults the local oracle, which gives two options: either a spartan king will have to be sacrificed or Sparta will be burned to the ground. A year earlier (481, BC) a panhellenic consortium of all southern city-states have already recognized the superiority of the spartan army (the best organized and trained army at the time) and have announced King Leonidas supreme commander of the combined Hellenic army. It is then decided that a small force should block Xerxes' way to southern Hellas in the Thermopylae passage.This passage was at that time 12 meters wide.The great historian Herodotus, possibly exaggerating, states that there were 1700000 Persians(their true number could be anywhere around 100000 and 1000000) against 7000 Hellenic hoplites and slaves, including the 300 men of the spartan king elite guard. King Xerxes waited for 4 days for the Hellenes to be frightened and eventually surrender and was quite astonished by his opponents complete apathy who were following their daily program practicing and making their hair! After that Xerxes tried to convince Leonidas to give up their position, kneel before him and live on as a local governor under Xerxes. King Leonidas replied "molon lave", which means "Come and get it". Then the 3 days battle begun with the 300 Spartans, and 700 thespians (the other Hellenes where sent by Leonidas to protect passages to their flanks) slaying thousands of Persians with minimal loses. The whole Persian campaign would have fail if there wasn't Efialtes who showed Xerxes a secret passage to the Hellenic flanks. After a final battle lead by king Xerxes himself the Hellenic force was completely slain and their heroism and glory was written forever in history. From the beginning of the battle the Hellenes buried their dead in the spot they fell dead. After the battle signs where made for the dead of each Hellenic faction. For the pelloponisians generally (including the 300 Spartans) the sign reads 'Hereby 4000 thousand pelloponisians fought 30 millions), for the 300 Spartans(lakaedaemonians) especially the sign reads 'Oh foreigner tell the lakaedaemonians that we are buried here obeying their laws' meaning that they never hesitated and never retreated from the enemy. The impact of the battle was enormous for both sides. The Persians' morale dropped to zero and the Hellenes lost their fear for the Persian conqueror and organized their defense. After several successful battles the Hellenes ultimately defeated the Persian army and repelled their invasion in the Battle of plataea in 479 BC
Opinions:
It is simply brilliant CGI shots and great battle scenario. I simply admire how Sparta stood against the largest force Persia ever gather. In normal sense,anyone will bulk out and give in their demands. But not this king of Sparta,Leonidas, he has some sort of sleeves to win the battle with his 300 men up against uncountable forces from Persia. I am great admirer of small teams challenging against bigger team. I will do the same as long as there are variable and possible options to use.
Rating:9/10(it would have 10/10 if only the director make it more amazing.Sadly there are some people who are disappointed with it)
Bonus:1)Superb CGI shots 2)Superb piece of history 3)Cleverly pick all 300 men that have muscles all over the bodies 4)Great Morale of story.
200 Pounds Beauty( Mi-nyeo-neun Gwae-ro-wo )(Korean Movie 2006)
Synopsis:
Hanna is a lip sync vocalist for Ami, the famous Korean pop singer. Even though she is always ignored because of her appearance, she has been a bright and lighthearted girl until Amy humiliates her in front of Sang-jun, her secret love. At last she makes a decision of a lifetime to have plastic surgery all over her body. Her unrequited love gets any return?
Opinions:
ROAR!!!It is one hell excellent piece of the film in your mind. As per synopsis, it is really saddening to see women to take plastic surgery for better life or better outcome of a certain moment. Indeed,it is not easy to be singer star. It is for sure that once you go in entertainment industry, you have to give all of your efforts to do work. The more famous you are, the less free time you can relax yourself. Hence, free time is truly luxary to famous stars.
Rating:7/10
Bonus:1)Good story about this woman 2)Just before the ending,there was a moment that is tear-breaking to some people.
Goong S(궁S)(Korean Drama 2007)
Synopsis:
The Queen (played by myung se bin) is in her early 30s but still unmarried. Because of this, in a condition where there cannot be a reduction in the number of successors to the throne, the present prince (the 1st successor) suddenly leaves the world and leaves a vacancy in the line of successors. So they go out to find the secret prince and finally find Lee hoo (played by Se7en), who has been living outside the palace.
Lee hoo is the son of a prince and his mother who died early, had departed with his father and left the palace, hiding the fact that she was already pregnant. He does not know that he possesses royal blood and has lived, working as a delivery boy at a chinese restaurant. Although usually, he has a prince disease, he had never dreamt of entering the palace and receiving royal lessons.
Lee hoo, the unbelievable no 1 successor to the throne and the perfect Lee Joon (played by kang doo) will bring tension to the drama as they fight over the position. After Lee Hoo enters the palace, an important place will be the royal academy. It is a place for members of the royal family as well as descendents of wealthy families.
The drama will also be about the romance between the characters
Opinions:
I was thinkng it will be the same as previous one but to my disappointment,it is just another story!Actually by the time i continue watching it,i find that it is getting interesting when there is a competition to take the position of royal prince in order to silence the worries of people in Korea.
Hey,i think this lead female character remind me of Adeline beause of similarity of behaviour,character and choice of attire.*LOL*
Rating:6/10
Bonus:1)Good plot
