Ok, that’s probably the most “duh!” title I’ve had on any of my posts so far, but I was watching Iron Man with Yujun, Nik, Vince and Yuan Chuan on Monday night, and after we got out of the theatre, Yuan Chuan said “This movie is so ‘Engin(eering)’ lah,” and he’s so right! There’s got to be at least a couple of Engineers among the folks who did the CGI effects for the movie, because all the way the machines in the movie look and function are just so cool! If you’re a gearhead or majoring in any form of Engineering, this movie is a must-watch. Yeah, sure, the tech involved is all fictional, and the physics behind the action sequences are, well… what physics? But despite all that, it’s just so techie! And I never knew Gwyneth Paltrow could be so cute…
But oh man, that poor, poor Shelby Cobra…
Here are some trailers for the latest Simpsons video game, and they’re so funny!
It’s like some corny Japanese remake of the Simpsons in a video game! Comic Book Guy turns into a sumo wrestler, and there’s even a faux-Pokemon battle between Homer and Jimbo. Some of you may recognize Mr Sparkle from one of the episodes of the Simpsons, where Homer found this Japanese brand of soap powder called “Mr Sparkle”, with an uncharacteristically cute likeness of Homer (with big pearly eyes) for a logo.
I’m SO gonna buy this when it comes out on November the 6th for the PSP…
I watched Rush Hour 3 with Seb, Nick Hong and Ranald a couple of days ago, and it was pretty fun to watch, in a ridiculous sort of way. Some of the stuff in the movie are never gonna happen in the real world, like the french taxi driver who aspires to be an American spy so that he can kill people for no good reason at all, or the flag parachute, but all that, combined with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker’s constant bickering, is what makes the movie so funny. Just don’t expect an outstanding storyline though. And as with every Jackie Chan movie, expect some hilarious outtakes as the credits start rolling.
And will somebody tell me what happened to that chinese girl they were trying to rescue???
In the meantime, I’m still thinking about which CCA to join. Cue sports, or motorsports? Or maybe neither, since I’m already in CSS. But motorsports looks so interesting, and as for cue sports, I’ve always wanted an excuse to get myself a cue stick…
Hmmm…

I just watched The Simpsons Movie this afternoon with my brother, and it’s great! It’s got lots of silly jokes and funny moments, but it kinda fell short. Literally - it’s a pretty short movie, with a runtime of only around 1 and a half hours. And I wished more supporting characters had some screentime, but with the movie being so short, I guess it’s a bit difficult to feature more supporting characters. Nonetheless, it’s still really good and highly entertaining, and Homer is still as idiotic as ever.
So whether you’re a true blue Simpsons fan, or if you’ve never watched a single episode of the Simpsons in your entire life (You know who you are! And frankly, I still quite amazed…), go watch it!
Oh, and stay for the rolling credits.
Ok, I gotta admit that I kinda forgot that her birthday was this month, until we joined the rest of the CSS community at Vincent’s Uncle’s house to celebrate the birthdays of all the July birthday girls/boy. But that’s just it – it WAS this month! Well, it still is this month, but it’s over already. It was on the 1st. We’ve celebrated her, Shareen and Salimah’s birthdays late last month, so I guess it’s forgiveable…
I can already hear people shouting; “EXCUSES!”
And I also didn’t know that Felicia, Lianne and Teresa’s birthdays were this month as well. To come to think of it, I haven’t spoken to them a lot since I got out of Junior College, except for those times we met briefly during the FOC. Oh well, I guess I’ll see a lot more of them after term starts.
But for now, I just finished watching “Psych” on Star World. It’s this dramedy series that revolves around Shawn Spencer (James Roday), whose heightened observation skills allow him to fool the police into thinking that he’s a psychic. Along with his long-suffering sidekick (… Psychic… Hey, they rhyme!), Burton ’Gus’ Guster (Dule Hill), he helps the police solve crimes. You’re probably thinking that it’s a silly concept for a show, because it actually is. But that’s why the show is so funny. Roday’s character gets to indulge in bizarre and silly behaviour in order to feign visions and keep up his image as a psychic, and Gus’ constant reluctance to follow Shawn in executing his sometimes preposterous plans (he always goes along with those plans eventually) makes you wonder why he doesn’t just abandon Shawn as a friend altogether. It’s a fun show, great to watch.
