Day out

The main purpose for my blog is actually for me to scribble a piece of my life from time to time. It wasn't intended to be spread publicly. I'm only aware of few people reading it. To my surprise when i found out recently that it was linked somewhere. It was probably a mistake to have a link, thanks to my ol' roomie. That was probably the root of evil. From it, there's how peeps like you guys existed. Anyway there's no point crying over spilt milk. The damage has been done...





Anyway, yesterday i watched Dragon Tiger Gate. Well normally i would think twice before watching any chinese movie cuz of past experience. When i watched the trailer of this movie i felt that this movie might worth a worth, since it's full of action, being a martial artist there's weapons which is one of my field of intesrest & there's an element of adventure which is + for me, definately not cuz it's Nicholas Tse in it.

So, after getting tickets, armed with my large combo popcorn i think this is one of the best feeling eva.. Can't remember anytime when i watched a movie and didn't have any popcorn to go with it apart from the time when i watched Pirates of the Carribean cuz i juz only had my dinner. I was really tempted though and got bit distracted by other people's popcorn sound. It was almost unbearableeee. Being a punctual person as alwiz , lolz was just in time for the ads n trailers before every movie , well u know the queue. For me the best of ads is of cuz the Tiger beer ad, yehH babe Jessica Alba and her bee stung succulent lips. *it's getting hot in here*
" So whose gonna get me a Tiger beer?", Jessica Alba
" Here's your Tiger babe *growl* So where's my p.......... ", EJ

Alright snap out dude, bak to Dragon Tiger Gate~!
The movie started off, giving me a bit of de ja vu feeling. The starting was similar to one of those superheroes movie from hollywood where there's comic strip flipping though i cant really recall from which movie, was it Spiderman? hmmm....... probably. Well, for me the story line and plot is kinda cheesy and corny. The only thing i'm not too sure which is more , corny or cheesy. The story line is kinda predictable too, and it's straight forward good vs evil. The sense of fashion for the characters is horrible , even when they were kidz they were overdressed. Very ah beng-ish, well no surprise even when the name itself Dragon , Tiger , Turbo says it all. Well i can understand that it's taken from a comic yet the whole thing was kinda crappy.

The oni main selling point for this movie is the effects and the actions. That's the reason for me to watch the movie. Unfortunately, the moves wasn't impressive at all. The level of difficulty is not very high. I'm not sure how many millions of people would have been able to do those kinda moves. There's one part, where Nicholas Tse was holding in a side kick position, he's leg was trembling and it's so damn obvious. Looking at the way he fights it's bit unbalanced, all kicks no punches, bet the oni thing he learned is Taekwondo all this while. Another guy with the weapon nunchaku, hmm this guy didn't really showed much other than he's nunchuks skill. Frankly speaking, the thing he does is kinda basic. Even EJ could have show u those kinda tricks as well *wink winK*. Overall i think i'll give this movie a 5/10. The fights were average, lacking intensity, the effects was the oni interesting part but then again the moves are excessively exaggerated.

For me it just justifies the fact that lately great performers of action movies related to martial arts are Jet Li, Tony Jaa( from Ong Bak & Tom Yum Goong) and Jackie Chan( Though he's slightly more to stuntman , nevertheless he's moves are slick and unique). It's just sad that Fearless is the last movie from Jet Li , hope he change he's mind bout that. Tony Jaa is one of the rising star lately, he's almost a complete fighter, only thing is he can't speak English which i think is the only thing blocking him from breaking into Hollywood.

After movies was walking around in 1U. There were so many stuffz on sale I bet the girls are shopping like that as if their parents ‘Im chua ji’ (IOW , print money). I did not have anything to buy, well……. Initially. As soon as I saw a shoe fair, all of a sudden I do have something to buy. Although I’m quite broke already , lolz but I think this can be considered as a necessity. It’s leather shoes which I’m looking for!!!

Actually I do have a pair of leather shoes already but it’s actually my dad’s shoes. It still looks new but it has shoe lace and it’s freaking uncomfortable. I was using it for OC the other day, at the end of the day I had blisters. Wearing it makes me feel like those days in China when women would tie their feet… lolz..

At one time I was quite closed to buying a Hush Puppies leather shoe once, but at that time there were oni one pair left and spot one defective part on the shoe. I’m quite a fan of Hush Puppies cuz I think their leather shoes are really comfy compared to other brands. Anyway , at the shoe fair I was again hunting for Hush Puppies unfortunately there wasn’t much choice and it looks bit tacky. But the inside still looks comfy. After walking around checkin out other shoes , tryin some out at the same time I spotted a few ones. Initially it was sort of slightly more expensive than wat I’m willing to pay for but after wearing it I felt that it’s kinda comfy and there’s proper padding at the right place something which is not common in leather shoes. So in the end, I bought em’ original price is RM 270 after discount is RM 190. I think the opening ceremony for this shoe would be during FYP presentation for this sem and to top the cherry on icing I’ll match it with my new G2000 shirt , grande opening ceremony.. YehhH baBeee~

Here's a good view of it..

Ciaoz..
