*tsink*...*tsink*...Spider-Man....Spider-Man....crawling up the walls, its Spider-Man....
The world is but a place for those who have yet to attain immortality.
Is life not weird?
I went for my SIM orientation today and ran into quite a few SRJCians and PL lites...small Singapore eh? Well, the good news is that i have found two SRJCians who are taking the same course as me. FINALLY! People taking the same course as me! Before that i only knew of two other people who take the same course and they are my seniors...not bad lah, i can go to them for help :)
i also got my books for the first semester today...sian diao~
Why do i still have to do maths!( -_-, Bursts into tears...*wah*...Grabs wads of tissue to wipe red eyes and blow rudolf nose...)
Thankfully, i know most of the stuff that i am supposed to be learning for the first time, the extra stuff...hmmmmm.....Joy of joys i get to dig my hands into economics yet again~ Don't you just feel the vibrations of happiness from my words?
The up-side so far is that i get to study sociology an some other wacky subjects...their kinda core topics but as long as i can understand what the hell is happening or catch the ball, i guess i will be a happy bunny :D
Watched Spider-Man 2 on Tuesday.
Some people say that its not as good as the first one, others beg to differ. I am believe i belong in the later crowd. i like the second movie for its drama and nifty F/X. In my humble opinion, special effects are only successful when you do not know that they are created by the computer. The audience should not have any idea that the pictures being flashed infront of their eyes are not possible in real life. The movie achieved just that. The drama was just as good if not better. Angst, suffering, head & heart aches were evident for the characters. However, the one thing that kinda irritated me is the 'touch-don-touch' relationship between Peter and Mary Jane through out most of the show... for that i would probably attribute the blame to Alfred Gough and Co. who were the script writers for the seqeal. I don't know who did the screen play for the first movie.If you did not know... Alfred Gough is the co-producer of Smallville and Roswell. The shows are on my list of all time favorites but the can be very very very irritating when they tackle BGR between the male and female leads...Sometimes i just feel like screaming : GET IT ON ALREADY!!!! *Grrrrrr.....*
Like almost everyone else i have already seen Spider-Man, so the characters are not new to me. Fan of the original and updated comic that i am, i also know the various story lines which have come and gone. They all add to the complex beings of Peter Parker & Co. Seeing the saga unfold on the big screen, with Toby Maguire in the lead makes the brain-child of Stan Lee all the more appealing and embrace-able. Its also helped that i managed to get my hands on some Spider-Man comics at the orchard library...the newly updated title going by the name of Ultimate. (Ultimate Spider-Man)
The Ultimate series is not limited to Spider-Man. X-men also has been revamped under this title (Ultimate X-men) and the authors have made the stories more modern in the politics, history, pop culture, technology and not forgetting lingo among other stuff of the current generation. I kinda like the art work as well, its a whole lot easier to read the comics now compared to the ones of the 50s to 90s. Less cluttered and clearer in dimensions. Although nothing can beat the classics : Days of Future and Past, Phoenix Saga, Age of Apocalypse, etc. The new story is definately more believable and i find myself wanting my own set of mutant powers...haha...i would love to have a cross between Jean and Storms gifts.
I will be leaving for Australia on Wednesday with my two Aunts and my elder aunt's friend. We will be going to Perth for ten days and i have no idea what to wear!!! hahhhaaa......
I'll try to update before i leave...
Excelsior.
Best.
Cheers! ^-^
