X-Men Origins : Wolverine

I was a lil' disappointed with the movie even though I went in knowing "This is about Wolverine, yeah, ALL about him..."

With some of the new Marvel characters which were not shown in all of the previous movies, I thought at least the movie could blend the graphics a little with the powers of these superheroes and a little of how they use their powers.

Well, I have yet to read the original story of Wolverine but after watching this, I got some knowledge about how he discovered and improved his powers and was quite satisfied with the results.

Spoiler alert!

I was disappointed with the graphics and the way the kids escaped from being the "prisoners" of Stryker. Some of the scenes looked like they were taken from the game and I would like to see more functions of those kids while they escape from their cells.

Anyway, I hope there will be more Marvel movies, perhaps focusing on some other important characters, e.g., Jean Gray or rather, the Phoenix. Enjoy your movie!

"Airplane Humour"

I found this funny post from AirAsia's blog site and thought I should share it with everyone. Click here to go to the original page in AirAsia's blog. Enjoy guys!

Occasionally, airline attendants make an effort to make the "in-flight safety lecture" and their other announcements a bit more entertaining. Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported:
1. From a Southwest Airlines employee.... "There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane..."

2. Pilot - "Folks, we have reached our cruising altitude now, so I am going to switch the seat belt sign off. Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay inside the plane till we land...it's a bit cold outside, and if you walk on the wings it affects the flight pattern."

3. After landing: "Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride.

4. As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Washington National, a lone voice comes over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. WHOA!"

5. After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Memphis, a flight attendant on a Northwest flight announced: "Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted."

6. From a Southwest Airlines employee.... "Welcome aboard Southwest Flight XXX to YYY. To operate your seatbelt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seatbelt and if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised. In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child travelling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are travelling with two small children, decide now which one you love more.

7. Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but they'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you or your money, more than Southwest Airlines."

8. "Your seat cushions can be used for flotation and in the event of an emergency water landing, please take them with our compliments."

9. "As you exit the plane, please make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses."

10. "Last one off the plane must clean it."

11. From the pilot during his welcome message: "We are pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry... Unfortunately none of them are on this flight...!

12. Overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas, on a particularly windy and bumpy day. During the final approach, the Captain was really having to fight it After an extremely hard landing, the Flight attendant came on the PA and announced, "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened while the Captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!"

13. Another flight Attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."

14. An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a "Thanks for flying XYZ airline." He said that in sight of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally, everyone had gotten off except for this little old lady walking with a cane. She said, "Sonny, mind if I ask you a question?" "Why no, Ma'am," said the pilot, "what is it?" The little old lady said, "Did we land or were we shot down?"

15. After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the Flight Attendant came on with, "Ladies and gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Captain Crash and the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt up against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we'll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal.

16. Part of a Flight Attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of us here at Southwest Airways."

Malaysia Break Part Two

So, here I am again, in the Philippines. How I wished I've never come back to this institute... Anyway, picture above shows most of the souvenirs that I bought for my close friends here and they ain't cheap... Well, they're money worth spent.


Movies. (Again? Yes.)

Monsters VS. Aliens. Not bad, really. Though some of the jokes were too cheesy, overall, it had shown some good moral values in life. Should watch!

Talk about fierce! The fourth sequel of Fast and Furious, Fast and Furious 4 : Original Parts was really nice. I wouldn't be surprise if I were to asked to watch it again! Movie time spent with Marcus and Liau from Nottingham.

He's Just Not That Into You, watched with Emily was kinda cliché. Not Emily, the movie. But you know, many have been complaining about new stuff not suiting each individual's expectations, this cliché was something to be remembered. Well if not in life, at least in relationships.

I can't possibly watch 12 times of this, movie 12 Rounds with Jesslyn, was incredible. I liked how the plot was so twisted yet understandable. Though, I should say I enjoyed watching Jesslyn's expressions more! She was like, moving here and there, as if she was ducking for a dodge ball! Quite enjoyable overall.

Malaysia Break Part One

So, what have I been doing not updating this blog for so long? Worse, since last month?! Hahaha, long story short, catching-up. Serious series of catching-ups! So you ask, with who? First off, my dearest families. That was the very reason why I did not inform any of my friends over here in Malaysia, fearing I might spend more than necessary with them rather than my family.

Anyway, as you can see (or may not), I've watched Dragon Ball Evolution, the movie with a bunch of National Service's best pals. Not bad, will be very acceptable if they were to spend more money and effort on their graphics.

On the other hand, Hotel for Dogs was great. I liked it how all along the movie, it focused on the sibling-hood of two orphans. Thank god the dogs did not talk in the movie (I didn't watch the trailer and thought it was that kinda movie). Otherwise, it would have spoiled the whole thing.

Last but not least, the most recent movie was Knowing. I have never watched its trailer nor heard anything special about it until it was released in the cinemas. The movie was really dramatic with exaggerated sound and graphic effects, as a bonus for some but otherwise as distractions for many. I took it pretty well, not so bad after all. Watching a loud movie with a lecturer, especially a sweet and innocent-looking one wasn't really an ideal hang-out because... she cursed and swore and jumped-around and... and... and... (you don't wanna know!).

Nevertheless, Baskin Robbins treats from her did cover up a lot of stuff! We talked and laughed and even shared some personal stuff together! She, Ann Deni is definitely someone you could call your lecturer, and a friend.

As far as I'm concerned, no picture was taken. Will try to get some for Part Two. Adios.
