Fight Club

Finally get to watch this movie (pirate again :P). Thanks to a friend who revealed to me the ending long time ago, he had the movie spoiled for me. Not totally though, cos nevertheless Fight Club is still a thought-provoking movie and it's definitely NOT what the title suggests (i.e., it's NOT about fighting). This is not Edward Norton at his best (his best I feel is his first movie Primal Fear), but still he is effortlessly convincing in his role. Though IMHO, I tot if the movie shows more of him being Tyler, it would be brilliant. Guess I prefer watching Edward Norton as a bad guy. Overall i think the movie is worth a watch. Unique plot. I quite like some particular memorable and tongue-in-cheek quotes which are worth pondering:
1) "If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?"
2) "Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need."
3) "You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your f**king khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world."
4) "When you have insomnia, you're never really asleep... and you're never really awake."
5) "It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything."
6) "The things you own end up owning you."
7) "I felt like putting a bullet between the eyes of every Panda that wouldn't screw to save its species."
8) "With a gun barrel between your teeth, you speak only in vowels."

dun really feel like blogging about my accident, how it happened and how i am now. i'm jus hoping that at the end of it all, there wouldn't be any scars on my face (though unlikely) and meanwhile i guess i have to deal with more pain to come for the dental implants and the removal of stitches. ok, now it sounds bad. actually i'm fine. i can walk, talk (though muffled), eat (slowly) and continue doing everything and anything indoors and not dealing with water. but despite of it all, i like taiwan and i enjoy my trip (the shopping and the hot spring part) and i would like to go back there again in the near future.

Will be in Taiwan in 15 hours time! So excited! Xian ge, Kang kang & No-No, here we come!!
swam 23 laps today.. but ate a lot after that.. ba chor mee, durian puffs (super BLAND) and chicken lasagne..

TROY

TROY is quite good though a bit too long (about 2.5 hrs)... a bit bored in the middle.. There are some repetitive scenes/actions that i think are redundant. Though Brad Pitt is the main lead Achilles, but I tot Eric Bana is outstanding as the upright and tragic Hector. Forget the Hulk, he's more manly and pitiful in Troy. Sean Bean (Boromir in LOTR) steals scenes as the smart Odysseus. Orlando Bloom doesn't get much screen time as Paris. And Hector's son, damn cute. Overall a bit different from Homer's Iliad especially the ending part but the main plot is still the same. Makes mi interested in Greek Mythology again.

went swimming today.. despite having muscle aches from the sat night cycling (sidenote: quite glad i survived the night cycling with my "P-plate" skills).. in fact the 20 laps did sooth the achings..
rushed home to watch survivor finale but missed the part where rupert got booted off. amber won the million as expected. but the proposal was unexpected. my sis and i tot that it's one of rob's schemes to secure the ger AND the million. haha.. we're still skeptical of rob.
received good news from my cousin yday regarding his business and his family. glad things are finally turning out well for him.
finally got to watch butterfly effect yday (erm, i'm a pirate again). tot it was quite a good show (given the fact tt it can keep mi glued to it despite my sleepiness) though there's some loophole in the stigmata part. but nevertheless it makes u think and wonder about the decisions u make in life and how they will affect the rest of ur life and the pple ard u.

Everything jus kinda screwed up before lunch today. Woke up late, miscommunication with my sis, end up shouting and quarrelling with each other and the Mother's Day lunch was nearly cancelled. Luckily things turned out to be fine after lunch.. though teppenyaki wasn't that fantastic. My sis and I back to talking terms, mi bought a top at a super bargain price and I received a phone call for an interview tm.. Anyway what I learn today is that when things screw up or dun turn out the way u wan, there are two ways to handle it: 1) brood over it and sulk all the day long and end up getting on everyone's nerves or 2) get over it and get on with your life and make everybody happy.
