I would reckon I’m wading around that area. But as it is my blood, I really wouldn’t mind being in this predicament. Alright, I just realized that all the titles recently have been pretty morbid. Bear in mind that this all in the name of good twisted humor.
XD
Hehehehehe…
Anyways, last Wednesday’s exams didn’t go as well as I hoped it to be. I just hope that I get enough at least to be eligible for my supplementary exam. I dread the fact that I fail and need to trudge around for another semester doing some fucked up subject that I despise from day 1.
So, here I am, suffering to beat the odds for my next paper, the dreaded Personal Financial Planning paper. One subject that is based off human perceptions of theories and concepts that is only justifiable by their own accords. To make it sound a lot less dramatic and epic, it’s plain bullshit. Lecturer’s a nice guy, as I said before but by being Malaysian, he does lack the charisma and teaching capabilities that’s keeping him here in this country.
Bah, enough of this. I’m starting to get sleepy listening to myself.
What a Twist~!
I can never take another M.Night whatsisface movie ever again after what Robot Chicken has done to him. You may remember Mr. Night for movies like The Village and Signs. I am led to believe the plot of this movie to be caused by a really lame reason. Of course, I will not spoil it for you as I have for myself by asking around. Just some random bullshit I wanted to get outta my system. I’m off to watch The Hulk tonight! Hopefully this time Ang Lee’s taking notes! Hehehehe…
8 MORE DAYS
Peace out y’all!

“Awesomeness and Attractiveness”
I know I should be studying. I know I should be somewhere else but due to the fact that I know that I am fucking broke, I’m afraid there is time to be actively unaware of your other obligations. Except the 1st one. That’s one obligation that keeps the wounds to a minimum. You know what I mean. Anyways, I went to catch Kung Fu Panda at TGV on it’s premiere. I didn’t manage to get much people together due to the fact that everyone had exams coming or moths coming out of their wallets. That’s the middle of the year for ya…
They really did have to put that "Kung Fu Fighting" song in there somehow
Futuristic mecha goodness - Just what the doctor ordered
Of course, nothing comes close to this legend in making

Anyways… As far as I know, Kung Fu Panda had a star-studded cast and that’s pretty rare as this is an animation. We’re talking about hard hitters like Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu and of course… the panda man himself, Jack Black. I don’t whether it’s horrible that I didn’t recognize their voices or they’re just that damn good when voicing their characters. I would say this… if you enjoyed Forbidden Kingdom for it’s uh, rather family-fun-ish feel, you’ll enjoy this. If you thought the Forbidden Kingdom’s plot was retarded in a Down's syndrome way, watch Kung Fu Panda anyways ‘cause cartoons have the license to be… odd.
It isn’t that epic that it must be watched in a cinema but it’s worth at least 8-10 bucks to go watch it. However, I must insist that it’s download-worthy.
Ol’ Spiky’s Rating: 4.3/5
Laughed my ass off at Jack Black’s animated physical comedy. It does, as usual, contain the usual moral values that we must all adhere to and the lessons in life that must be learnt. All in all, watch it in any way you want.
Appleseed Ex Machina

It seems that this movie has been out for quite some time already so I would say this review’s a year late, if I am not mistaken. I did some digging into this movie and it is based off a successful cyberpunk manga that was published in the late 1980s, judging from the manga’s art style, which reminds me of Ranma ½.
It seems that an anime already has been made and a separate OVA (Original Video Animation, for the uninformed) has been made already using high-tech 3D graphics at the time of production.
As usual, I’m not going to spoil the story for those who haven’t watched it and intend to. All I have to say is that the graphics for this movie is awesome. It comes close to another animated movie that is *very* close to my heart but still, no cigar. The storyline is solid and enjoyable but thank God it doesn’t have predictable twists. Voice acting is awesome and believable. I have heard of Appleseed before but I have never watched it before. However, this movie doesn’t confuse new viewers as it doesn’t focus much on the past storylines or character histories. Essential character histories are depicted in short flashbacks that don’t waste much time.

Great graphics, awesome action and great for fans of futuristic mecha fun. Go download it!

Calm Before the Never-Ending Storms
They just keep coming, don’t they? Over and over again. No, it’s not another freaky ass dream that draws inspiration from Hostel, The Thing or Alien! I’m talking about finals. Every semester there must be a “finals” post, guaranteed. This time, no bitchin’. This year’s been kind. Or strangely sadistic. Either way. I had a week to study for my 1st exam… and that was just about filling the blanks in some bloody import and export forms. Save your breath, Monash people, I know how unfair it is. I’ve heard enough bitchin’.
*wink*
Anyways… I had 2 weeks between each paper. My next 2 papers are on the same day and they’re a week from now. Then my final papers on the 23rd. Grand, eh? Heh heh heh… Anyways… I kinda established a mantra for myself to study better this time. It kinda goes like…
“Do you know what you know? Do you know what you don’t know?”
I know I’m fucked when I’m telling myself, “I don’t know what I don’t know”.
An established playlist definitely helps as well! I remember last sem being just Three Day’s Grace One-X album and RHCP’s Give It Away keeping me going through Red Bull-fed conciousness. This sem has been a mix of rock and hip-hop.
All amazing stuff. Go look it up.
The Chop
Well, I’m outta the Freeloaders. For some reason I never stick long enough to any bands. Kurtz was well… let’s not say anymore. Valmanway… got ass raped even before we bent down. Fuck that sem’s VU Student Council. Poor ass bitches with poor management. God, I miss CIMP and even MUSA/MUISS’s pro organization and insane budgets. Oh giggity.
Nope, no love for VU, man. It’s better off touching itself.
It was coming anyways… Lackluster performances during rehearsals and of course, it’s always a bummer being a replacement for someone that’s OBVIOUSLY waaa—haayyy better than you. Nah man… it’s all cool. No unnecessary hard feelings. I had the best fun in my music life. Thanks guys.
Let’s see what happens in Aussieland when I get back in touch with Kelvin. Hopefully we can pull something outta our asses. I have written some tight material recently. Bitter experiences DO bring out the best material! Keep that in mind. Take every bitter memory and just pour it out on a piece of paper. Use any words. You’d be surprised at yourself. It could be pleasant or plain ass disturbing.
House – Season Finale
FUCK. House is over again. This time the ending’s amazing. I, of course, ain’t gonna spoil it for you. By the way, I’m referring to the current season that AXN’s showing. It’s about the new interns right? I would say everything in the middle was mediocre… The last and 2nd last episode is the shit! Made up for everything else. Be sure to watch if you’re a House addict, like me, you’re crazy for Olivia Wilde (Number 13), like me, OR you just like semi-sadistic dark humour. You guessed it. Like me!
*grin*
Excellent. I’m done. Back to work. Good luck to those who have exams coming soon or are in progress. Grats and a big “Fack you” to those who are done! Hehehhe.. Peace out y’all!
