Movie review: Ninja Assassin

Ninja Assassin

Duration: about 100 minutes.

Synopsis: Raizo is one of the deadliest assassins in the world. Taken from the streets as a child, he was transformed into a trained killer by the Ozunu Clan, a secret society whose very existence is considered a myth. But haunted by the merciless execution of his friend by the Clan, Raizo breaks free from them...and vanishes. Now he waits, preparing to execute his revenge. In Berlin, Europol agent Mika Coretti has stumbled upon a money trail linking several political murders to an underground network of untraceable assassins from the Far East. Defying the orders of her superior, Ryan Maslow, Mika digs into top secret agency files to learn the truth behind the murders. Her investigation makes her a target, and the Ozunu Clan sends a team of killers, led by the lethal Takeshi, to silence her forever. Raizo saves Mika from her attackers, but he knows that the Clan will not rest until they are both eliminated. Now, entangled in a deadly game of cat and mouse through the streets of Europe, Raizo and Mika must trust one another if they hope to survive and finally bring down the elusive Ozunu Clan.

My views: i am a sucker for all these assassins & ninjas type of movie, i think shurikens & kunais are cool! & i absolutely love the agile & mysterious feeling of shinobis. this action-filled movie is simply awesome! it's much much better than the movie "Ninja". when i later learnt that the main actor, Rain actually went for martial art training for a few months prior to the movie, it made me fell in love with this piece more! the fighting scenes are mad awesome, & at some parts, it was really exciting that i felt so hungry during the show. i think excitement will cause the calories to burn faster maybe? but anyway, there were also some humor & really cool moves & overall, i love this show!

Ratings: 4.5 out of 5! i think i can watch this movie for another 3 or 4 times without complaining, awesome!

I actually said: "Dont wanna dig anything except my nose"

on friday evening, i had this funny conversation with R via sms.

R: Eh, i think the chips for tonight maybe not enough.

(referring to poker chips & i have 3 full sets but always refusing to bring out or give it to R)

Yvonne: You come my house dig for it lor.

(it's somewhere in the storeroom, yeah somewhere ...)

R: Serious ah?

Yvonne: Yeah, my nails nice nice already. dont wanna dig for anything except my nose.

ROFL, it's retarded i know, but i think it's damn funny, & i am absolutely clueless to why i typed that.

NOW, DONT EVEN TRY TO PICTURE ME DIGGING MY NOSE OKAY!

  

well back to updates on my life, 

friday night was poker night as i mentioned in the previous post. it was somewhat cool, to have three groups of my friends coming together for poker, namely from NP, from WGS, & the CBKs. & im the awesome dealer for the night. xD

& just engaged myself to another awesome show, The Big Bang Theory! currently at the 13th episode of season 1! this show is mad hilarious & i somewhat love the opening theme =.= 

 

&& there's no school for this whole week! but i've got tonnes of work to do, e-learning assignments, group & individual reports/projects. i know i would totally sound like a loser if i said it, but still, "I HATE SCHOOL!". okay, im a loser!

&&& i've been really sick for past two days, with mild influenza, sore throat from eating too much fried finger food & cookies, & fever. & usually, they come along with fever like a bundle package - severe neck & back aches, mild muscle aches all over the body, & eyes-socket aching (i cant really describe this but it's something along that line...)

one last sharing before i ciao!

Q:WHAT IS A MAN'S ULTIMATE EMBARRASSMENT? 

 

A: Running into a wall with an erection but breaking his nose.

 

It's a wordy & meaningless post

さしぶり !
i've totally neglected this space for almost a week! have been really busy watching Gossip Girl & currently im still at Season 2!

initially was planning to go Genting with cbks, but R decided to not go because we would be rather bored since we are not allowed to enter the casino.

but it's okay! & i really meant it's okayyyy, because, ...
currently have 3 trips planned for march 2010!
to bangkok shopping with cousins, then to korea for shopping too with the same cousins, and binging in taiwan with R!
still deciding to go bangkok or korea, or both! cos my cousin said we could shop in korea too, but i think i would prefer the cheap thrills in bangkok luh! moreover i have no interest in korea =/ but the plus point about the trip is we'll be staying at my cousin's apartment there, so we save alot on accomodation, which is pretty cool. oh my oh me, im soooo hyped up with the thought of traveling! hope i'll save enough money for all three trips!

now back to reality, i've been eating apple pies on a daily basis, im so lovin' it!
have not been doing much except on wednesday, R & i decided to go somewhere which we havent been to for months. we used to go there at least twice a week for entertainment & supper mainly. JAY BEE!

so merv, R & i watched the movie, Ninja. it's Ninja, not Ninja Assassin. i think the movie's pretty cool but the two guys think in contrariwise. the fighting scenes are pretty awesome! speaking of which, we did something really ridiculous & out of the ordinary...

we bought 4 tickets (2 pairs of couple seats) although there was only three of us.
according to the seating plan, it's either we sit in the front 6th or 7th row, or we take the couple seats.
i am super picky about seats in cinema because i think comfy is an important factor.
so we bought 4 tickets & merv that lucky chap got to sit on two seats instead of one.
when we presented our tickets to the ... ... hmm, guy-who-checks-and-tears-the ticket, he was stunned because there were only 3 of us. ROFL.

my nails are looking so awesome today! love the new polishes i just bought ♥ ♥ ♥

i know it's still early but my birthday's coming sooooon! (like 1 month and 3 days) =.=
well, every year i get excited about my birthday like 6 weeks before the actual day, because of the X'mas decorations that is happening everywhere.

alright, im gonna watch GG already. shall update tomorrow!
it's friday, & so it's Poker Night!

Movie review: 2012

2012
Duration: about 160 minutes.

Synopsis: Never before has a date in history been so significant to so many cultures, so many religions, scientists, and governments. 2012 is an epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors.

My views: a movie that everyone's raving about, & definitely one of the movies that i've really anticipated & held high expectations for. however, it's not that awesome afterall, but surely still worth your time watching. prior to watching, i thought it's gonna be a 5 out of 5 movie, but sadly, no. the storyline is a bit too dull, the effects are awesome though. & isnt it a thing that disaster-movies are supposed to have touching & heart-wrenching moments, when people around you had to die & you're so helpless, or people sacrificed themselves so that their loved ones can live? didnt shed a tear at all, but i would have given it 5 stars if it had met this part. without the emotions part, it would be like watching documentary right!

Ratings: 4.5 out of 5! it's a must-watch movie, the effects are really awesome!

It's worse than digging my nose in public

today, i went to school after 6 days of self-declared holidays! but seems like nobody missed me luh :(
school was 9 to 4pm, then went to suntec for dinner at aston's again with R! at first i was thinking to call merv along or not, but decided that he would text me if he's free. so, ... R & i were almost finishing when merv texted & asked "want go aston's for dinner or not?" 














on the way back, out of nowhere, R asked : I wonder how is it like, to shoot the nostrils with flash.
i know this question is like, ... retarded and totally stupid.



BUT...




we did it! (not really proud of it but am sharing because it's caring! ahh craps, because it's funny to me)


you know, the peak hour at around 7.30pm on the mrt from cityhall to woodlands (it's freaking packed but we were seated). we freaking did it! with the flash on, we shot the internal of our nostrils. it must have looked damn retarded because we placed the lens right at the entrance of the nostril. 

i really wondered how many people were staring. i cant help but to really laugh out loud after that, because i only realise how stupid it looked, after doing it in the public. it was like, we did it unconsciously, somehow.


but anyway, i know you are just as curious about the photos.
i expected things like nostril hairs etc, but no, there was nothing =.= the flash was toooooo strong and there was nothing but whiteness. some sort disappointed though it's ridiculous to be disappointed over such things. 

it must have been the most retarded, most embarrassing, stupidest and the most unglam thing i ever done in the public.




& today i got the shock of my cyber/virtual life.
i logged in to facebook and saw 54 notifications, 53 of them saying "Shannon Wee posted something on your wall". 

i've yet to find time to delete the comments (literally!). & the root of the spamming was ...

HAHAHA!

okay, i have nothing else to blog about already. one last joke before i ciao:

Question: 
WHY WERE HURRICANES NORMALLY NAMED AFTER WOMEN? 

Answer: 
Because when they come, they're wet and wild. But when they go, they take your house and car with them.

Movie review: My Girlfriend is an Agent

My Girlfriend is an Agent
Duration: about 110 minutes.

Synopsis: Soo-ji and Jae-joon were once a couple until Jae-joon could not take her lies anymore. Years later, they meet each other again and the situation is changed. A Russian organized crime syndicate sets out to steal an advanced chemical weapon from Korea and two secret agents from separate departments are assigned to stop them. Soo-ji is a veteran secret agent who has mastered all forms of martial arts, and Jae-joon is a rookie cop and always goofs up on the job. While the two work out their relationship, they go behind each other’s backs to fulfill their mission to save the world!

My views: a good comedy with interesting plot. the fighting scenes are pretty awesome too. on top of it all, i think i would recommend this show because it's really hilarious! personally im not a fan of korean shows (find them too draggy & lame) but korean movies never disappoint me!

Ratings: 4 out of 5! A good comedy & action movie that's surely worth your time!

The thing about marriage

trying to imitate Barney's Awesomeness poster, but with the very limited photoeditting softwares, ...

i self-declared a long weekend of 5 days for myself, & it started yesterday.
so yesterday, we randomly decided to binge, so we went seoulgarden.

attack the prawns! i hardly eat prawns, R ate like 40 prawns, or maybe more.

 

"wtf is this" right?

well it's actually ice cream of two different flavours...

then ...

 

 

 

& finally, (look at his face)

& so for the rest of the time, we were thinking what combination might be good.

&& as though it wasnt sinful enough, we finished a tub of ice cream while watching videos at home.

i usually would tweet about what i've been doing, since it's the fastest way to update!
so yeah, if you're curious about my daily life, follow me on twitter, or just check out my twitter.
on a side note, usually if i didnt blog for days and start blogging, i will never be able to recall what i've been doing, so i check my twitter! hahaha awesomeness right! would have been perfect if i could get the sms service so i can tweet through my mobile. im a total douchebag & i have no idea how to do it =.=

& finally after a long wait of two weeks, HIMYM season 5 episode 6!

will reply to comments (blog & fb & twitter) when im free!
currently, i guess i have something really mega to do. earlier on, i opened the greentea mousse pocky, i exerted too much force that it flew all over my room. there are some missing parts but i cant seem to find them, & it will attract the ants, which in turn attract lizards. yuck, maybe not so bad if lizards attract rats because afterall lizards are yuckier than rats, but rats would lure snakes. haha wtf am i typing man!

so my room is really toooooo messy to find the missing bits, hopefully im gonna pack.
i think even if i hired people for $100 to clean my room, nobody would wanna do it luh, it's like garbage centre on the 12th storey literally.

a bit of TCSS to spice up (hopefully!)

***

Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the other is a husband.

***

A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband.

Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen. 'Careful,' he said, 'CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my gosh! You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter.. Oh my gosh! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to STICK! Careful. CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind? Don't forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the! salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!'

The wife stared at him. 'What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?'

The husband calmly replied, 'I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm driving.'

***

A man was driving when a traffic camera flashed. He thought his picture was taken for exceeding the speed limit, even though he knew he was not speeding. Just to be sure, he went around the block and passed the same spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashed. He thought this was quite funny, so he slowed down even further as he drove past the area, but the traffic camera flashed yet again. He tried a fourth time with the same result. The fifth time he was laughing when the camera flashed as he rolled past at a snail's pace.

Two weeks later, he got five traffic fine letters in the mail for driving without a seat belt.

***

that's all for the jokes, i do find them funny, not to that extent but still a bit laughable luh ;)

alright, till the next time i blog, tomorrow hopefully!

Movie review: Poker King

Poker King

Duration: about 120 minutes.

Synopsis: Randy (Louis Koo) has never been a fan of his family's casino business. This changes when one day he gets a taste of Texas Hold 'Em Poker over the Internet. It's a game of luck, skills and wits. Once Randy is deemed unfit to handle the conglomerate, Uno (Lau Ching Wan) can then fully assume the position and take over the business for himself. Uno gives Randy a chance at redemption - a winner-takes-all poker match between the two.

My views: i think this movie rocks! it's mad hilarious, quote a thing or two from the show, "看你穿着黑色 bra, 请你吃块哈密瓜" but personally, i find that it's more of the unrealistic kind, while the movie "Rounders" (1998) is the realistic kind. both shows are awesome, i strongly recommend poker fans to watch them. & as for non-poker/WSOP fans, during the last part where Johnny Chan makes his guest appearance, please do not go "Who the hell is Johnny Chan?", because that's what people who sat behind us said, loudly even. we (the cbks, hardcore WSOP/poker fans), just had to laugh at their imbecility. so now that you've read my blog, you know who is Johnny Chan, but i think the movie exaggerated it, he's a two-time WSOP winner if i got my facts right.

Ratings: 4.5 out of 5! It's super worth watching!

If you think your girlfriend's messy...

that night at butterfactory, ...

happy birthday babe! (& to henry too!)

 

 

 the guys did these, ...

& it inspired Po to do this...

yes i know, i havent been blogging for a week. (i did try to allocate time for it though...)
i cant really remember what i've been doing lately, really busy with schoolwork, oh yes, schoolwork.
i've been such a good girl, and hope my perseverance will pull me through this semester!

if you think your house is messy, ...
this is part of my room. im so lazy that after shopping i tend to dump the bags on the floor (with clothes in), and only retrieve the clothes when i feel like wearing them, leaving behind these paperbag-pile.

i really am soooo busy that i dont even have time to pack :(

as far as i can remember what i've been up to,
wednesday, merv wanted to treat us dinner. but unfortunately i wasnt free.
went for some hair modelling stuff & i went home with a boomz hair. it really boomed. it took me 4 washes to wash off all the hairspray okay!

 some random pictures at 6am ++ in the morning...

saturday, went for photoshoot early in the morning, longest session i ever had =.=
then wanted to rest at home after that, despite having planned two halloween parties. i was that tired.
but just when i decided to bathe & dive into slumberland, the cbks decided to catch a movie, & so i had 45 minutes of preparation time. merv was saying: anyway yvonne, can you reach cwp by 6.45?
instantly, i thought he was trying to ask me to be punctual, because i have never been =.= ROFL.

we caught Poker King and it was awesome! mad funny. review to be up soon!
 "看你穿着黑色 bra, 请你吃块哈密瓜."

then, was soccer at hai's place. & with so many cbks around, we held another poker tournament!

not too sure if it's new, but it is, to me. peach and lychee flavour

tried the peach flavour & i think it's nicer than the lemon one

aiseh, some lame shot but i think it's unique. =P

alright, reviews coming up soon! (so many overdued posts & reviews that i dont know where to start)
will try to update as much as possible!
ciaos!
