TRANSFORMERS - review

Friend of mine managed to buy the movie ticket four days in advance, tickets at that time was already selling out fast! I am talking hot cakes here!! I got really good seats for the show, and in my opinion it was probably the best movie I have ever seen in my entire life.


Optimus Prime (the robot on the left in the picture), has always been my favourite super hero since I was a kid. And to see him back in the big screen is something I just couldn't sit aside and not witness it. The cast for the show did very well, and the robots were designed to perfection right down to the finest details. The thing about the show that really made it stood out from most shows, is how the robots looked so real and how it just sort of seem they were actually in the scene and not some computer graphic. For those who watched Spiderman, I am sure you could tell the difference between the computer graphic and the real person.

The only small thing I didn't quite like was Megatron's (the robot on the right in the picture) design. Well, I wouldn't go as far as to say I didn't like it, but just that they didn't quite capture the essence of Megatron as the big gun which he used to be. But 10/10 points for design, after all his design does fit the more sophisticated era we live in today!

From the design, then comes the transformation. The scene when I saw the transformation, I went "OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!". The amount of details on the transformation was virtually flawless. For transformation graphics work - 10/10.

Then comes my super hero - Optimus Prime! Because of his character since his times in the cartoons, I have always loved him. A true leader who cares for his teammates, and a character willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of others. Only this time, he didn't die like in the previous cartoon movie (I am really glad).


Fight scenes were first class, no dodgy kung fu moves like some ridiculous shows. The moves were very smooth but robot-like. Simply fantastic!

Bottom line, it is by far THE best movie I have seen so far in my life and I intend to go see it again, and then go get the DVD for it. :)

All it takes is a little encouragement

"A Life at Work" by Thomas Moore is currently the book I am reading. I have reached about half way so far and it has really given me a lot of in sight about my destiny or at least pointers to get me on my way to figure out what my life work is (i.e. your ideal work, work that fulfills you from the inside, food-for-the-soul kind of work). It's still a work in progress thing for me; a long way from reaching the full discovery point (if I ever reach it). Your life work can be as simple as helping old folks in need in a nursing home to something as simple as being a life guard. Simplest of work can be the most rewarding to a person's hear that's deep down. Of course, there's no denying that it is different for everyone. But sometimes, if not all the time, all it takes is a little encouragement from the people around you. Sometimes it is as simple as, "a job well done chump!" or "way to go bud!" or "you hit the home run mate!" or even

one foot in the past, another in the future........ what about the present?

All of us go through a cycle, what we commonly call - the past, present and the future. It can probably be summed up by this simple phrase: " we come from the past to be in the present and look forward to the future ". Now, what I want you to do is take a step back, or just give your mind a minute or two to digest the above mentioned phrase. Ask yourself if it applies to you. Really ask yourself; and I mean REALLY ask yourself in the most honest of manner, whether it really applies to you. You may find it difficult to arrive at a 'yes' and even if you do, you probably find yourself in a paralysis state of mind trying to justify the 'yes'. If you really ponder about it, you are likely to find that most of us would find this phrase more relevant instead: " we come from the past and look forward to the future " You will find many of us either hang on to the past or look far too forward into the future, or likely for some to even be dwelling too much in

Quick update.........

Having graduated last year in August and taking a break in Australia visiting my brother for a month, I really felt good about everything. Things just got better after that, having landed a job at Ernst & Young! :) Aaaaaahhhhh.... how fast time actually goes by! Passing the 10th of January 2007, I have already been working for 3 months. The feeling of getting older and learning new things everyday at work brings about a feeling of satisfication. Although, work is generally tough and tedious (what do you expect in the auditing line?). I must admit though, when I fast started off I did feel demotivated and some what unhappy with the job having to go back home at 3am and back to work by 8am the next day. I did think about quitting at that time........ :( However, a miracle happened to me! That miracle brought along a girl named Vern Cheng. Without her support, I would have struggled a lot more. After work, just seeing her brings about a feeling of happiness and a feeling of being cont
