Did you know that while the RMS Titanic hit an iceberg in the Arctic ocean at 11.40pm on the 14 of April 1912, some of the passengers on board were watching a black-and-white, silent movie made in 1911 known as the Poseidon Adventure : a movie which was about the passengers of a sinking ship trying to find their way to safety. Ironic isn't it? The passengers watching the show were so absorbed in it that they did not even feel the Titanic hit a iceberg. Some of these people ultimately shared the same fate of the characters of The Poseidon Adventure. Not so affected by the film industry You say? Think again.

This is the official cast for the Last Airbender movie set for release in 2010. I expect it to be just another "DragonBall" washup.. I'm trying to be realistic on this but the future of this film, juding by the casts only, seems dull.
Avatar Aang is played by Noah Ringer
Fire Prince Zuko is played by Dev Patel
Southern Waterbender Katara is played by Nicola Pertz
Southern watertribe Sokka is played by Jackson Rathbone.
IT seems very clear that the fire nation in the new avatar film would be depicted as Indians ( what do you expect from an Indian director - M. Night Shyamalan)

Windows 7 (Rights Reserved) en route.

Sunday, October 18, 2009
Windows 7 is slated for for an official release date of 22 OCT 2009. Since Microsoft started working on this futuristic improvement on Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system, the OS has undergone many changes, both in aethetics and dynamic functions. The version Microsoft ever so proudly presents will be the final Windows 7 OS release pack: Windows 7 RTM Build 7600. (Click link for some screenshots).
Microsoft's next operating system will implement Office 2007's "ribbon" toolbar in most of its system applications, scale back on the User Account Control nagging (irritating "Allow? or Deny?"), and load a "light" (rapid-loading) Windows Media Player on double-clicking videos. Is this just an attempt to wow critics with slightly more aesthetically pleasing twin of Vista OS or will this be the harbinger for a new, decluttered Windows experience?
Windows 7 user Webran61 says: "Vista has been fine for me since turning off all the unecessary stuff (which let's face it, is part of everyone's OS experience). Also, I love the ribbon toolbars in Office 2007, and welcome the change to the entire Windows experience. Some (most) people just can't move on and accept change. These are the people who stubbornly stick to XP on a machine with 256MB of RAM. The rest of us find Vista not only bearable, but also pleasant, and I'm sure we will find 7 a pleasure to use as well."
Personally I've grown fond of Vista's improved Graphics, its ability to foster a sense of cleanliness on a computer that's constantly pressured to store an ever expanding labyrinthe of data.
Below are a couple of screenshots:

Scrin Mechpede
Presenting the Scrin Mechapede; the most advanced biological modular weapon. (BMW - no affiliation to BMW AMERICA AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURER).
Though rare, the Mechapede is a formidable foe; plated with thick armour and gifted with the unique ability to spawn body segments that include anti infantry, anti vehicular, anti structure, and anti aircraft modules making it the most versatile scrin unit even more so than the scrin Eradicator Hexapod. The scrin MECHAPEDE, when fully equipped with anti vehicular modules, is more than capable of dispatching an annihilator tripod or reaper tripod, standing as testimony to the awesome technological superiority of the Scrin race.
Below is Concept art of the Mechapede before Command & Conquer : Kane's Wrath was produced at the time of which the Mechapede was aptly called 'Millipede'...

The examinationshve finally come to a close. And i havent blogged for 2 months (est.). This year saw a plung in he average results for the school. This is probably because of the extreme difficulty of the papers this year. Alot of people are somewhat miserable because their marks anrnt very impressive. Im just miserable because my laptop's keyboard is becoming unresponsive (esp. the spacebar, the 'e', the 'a' and 'r' keys). here's a brief overview of my results:
--------------------------
EL - 62.5 % (so far)
-----------------------
E.Math - 90%
---------------------
A. math - 76.875%

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
Wednesday, June 24, 2009

Wednesday, June 24, 2009
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.
Another toilet. The toilets were of moderate cleanliness, but I tried to use them as little as hygenically possible.

The front lawn of the chalet (depending on what you wish to refer as 'front')
Dont worry, no more bedrooms now..
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.)

Audi's are the best. This one is the Audi A8 W12 Quattro. Familiar?
Its the one from the Transporter series. Very nice action movie. Slick cars and cool driving moves as well as fast paced fighting scenes. actually, a little bit unrealistic lah.. the lead actor is too resourceful, too good a driver, too smooth a fighter and too neat to actually be human.if u seen the movies u should know why i said this. and one more thing. i cant believe it but i PASSED both my mathematics for mid year! i thought i fail cos the paper soooo hard... but i didnt!YESS!
Below got pics
Alot of malls have this system of parking. (magnetic resonance detectors)
This one's from Suntec City
One of the greatest headlines this month
Went touring around Tuas.This is the Tuas incinerator. I've noticed a large amount of Mango trees scattered around with branches drooping with green mango.. want to pluck but so high up..
