School opened today.. I didnt go.. I caught some sort of cold that caused my head to hurt and my joints ache. Anyway, I expect to see a change of seating arrangement when I go to school tomorrow. I wouldnt like to change my seat, but change is inevitable. I just hope i sit near a fan or a source of wind. I just cant focus on studies in an unvetilated area. I also changed my blog layout, fitting a huge picture of the Decepticon tyrant Megatron (he's dead but came back to life--happens to all bad guys, they just cant stay dead)..

Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen

Movie Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!
The fight scenes in this movie are simply incredible. The action is heart stopping. In the first movie, they had so much close ups of the fighting that, if you were'nt a transformers fan, wouldnt know who was fighting who. It was simply a flash of metal.
In this movie however, they made it a point to focus far (not too far) from the fighting. You could see Optimus Prime pounding the decepticons ( he gets pounded real good as well) clearly. The humour parts were good and entertaining. The sound effects were simply bombastic in a good way of course. It wasnt as soft as a romance film and wasnt as loud as 'terminator: salvation' in which I almost jumped at every explosion.
One thing that wasnt right were the Autobot twins Skids and Mudflap. They were ridiculous representations of the super-advanced cybertronians we call Transformers. There were certain parts of the film that were so awesome that my heart was beating faster than usual. The cybertronians in the film (call them cybots if you will-- cybertronian robots = cybots) the cybots in the film had a greater sense of humanity in them. They seemed too human to be alien. After all, ther're planet is 58 lightyears from ours so its safe to call them aliens.
There were some very interesting additions to the film. 1 would be the introduction of the SunHarvester. It is a large cybertronian device used to consume stars (like our sun) to generate Energon- the life-blood of the species. Another addition would be polypedal bots.(polypedal--many limbs), instead of the standard two legged humanoid transformers like the famous Optimus Prime or Bumblebee. An example would be Ravage, a 4 legged dog-like entity roughly 1.5 times larger than your average housedogs (im talking about the big ones) Ravage is sent be Soundwave, an interesting satellite-like machine, to obtain the shard of the AllSpark ( it is a cube that was pushed into Megatron's chest and disintegrated, killing him, leaving only a shard picked up by optimus prime in the first movie) -----Ravage pictured below

Decepticon Ravage Also, there is a strange entity called a pretender. Pretenders are cybots that, instead of adapting a vehicle disguise, adapt a human disguise (very much like the female T-800 terminator from Terminator 3: rise of the machines)
The Fallen -- one of the main antagonists of the film. I wont tell you who he is, you'll find out when you watch the movie which lasts 154 minutes.
Overall, good movie.

Being unable to update this web log for an unaccounted period of time, I have left it for dead. Almost at least. I have photos I want to upload. Alot of them. 48 of them I think. Firstly I have photos of the 2e3 2008 June 2009 chalet stay.
A pair of our friends configuring the 27-inch Television set (screen-relative diagonal standard measurements) 
Yes, confusing graphics.
A rudimentary kitchen, equipped with a SANYO(rights reserved) two-pot electric stove and a PANASONIC 54-inch-tall refridgerator.
There were 4 bedrooms in the chalet, all of which are located on the second floor of the 2 floor chalet block. (bedrooms are monotonous in colour and atmosphere, walls coated with old, peeling paint. The bedroom doors to the adjacent corridors have 2-3 sratches measuring about 2-4 inches in length.
A staircase with 21 darkwood steps and a plastic paint coated metal ( im not sure what metal) handrails. The glass sqaures on the window to the right number 48. Each glass square sports a little mural which depicts a bowl laden with 3 leaves of unknown species, 4 round fruits, and 27 grapes on a small vine.
Another toilet. The toilets were of moderate cleanliness, but I tried to use them as little as hygenically possible.
Yes, more beds. Each bed, observable from the immediately above photograph, has 1 pillow and 1 blanket. Unfortunately, people (no names now..) tend to like to have more than 1 blanket or pillow and soon, pillow and blankets go missing.
The front lawn of the chalet (depending on what you wish to refer as 'front')
Dont worry, no more bedrooms now..
The pictures are rather jumbled; dont mind them. This is a table football set located just outside our chalet.
Apparently, one of our friend's parents had to be a civil servant for them to book one of these prioritized chalets.
The exterior of our chalet. As you might have noticed, it is a Semi-D (semi detached)
The barbeque pit to the photograph's right portion, the background shows kiddy playgrounds and 4 Hidden swings, 1 kiddy, 3 adult.
The diminuitive dining area which would soon become disturbingly messy.

There are 3 bathrooms in our chalet; 2 on the top floor, and 1 on the bottom.

A pretty sight to behold. The element that covers close to 3 quaters of the earth's oceans. Yep, water. Unfortunately the best beache award eludes the grasp of Pasir Ris beach...
A quiet basketball court the does not come with a basketball. ( you have to get your own, elsewhere, and that means, using money.)
