What will be shall be

One Does What One Can

A little story I extracted out from the book “Chicken Soup for the unsinkable soul”.

It was a chilly fall day when the farmer spied the little sparrow lying on its back in the middle of the field. The farmer stopped its plowing, looked down at the frail, feathered creature and inquired, “Why are you lying with your legs up like that?”

“I heard the sky is going to fall today,” replied the little sparrow.

The old farmer chuckled. “And I suppose your spindly little legs can hold up the whole sky?”

“One does what one can,” replied the plucky sparrow.

I spent the majority of the last few days at home watching rental videos in the day and only going out at night, hardly a healthy boy should be doing. For the Friday and Sat night, I have been going to Mustafa shopping centre for midnight shopping. In case you don’t know, they open 24 hours a day. Going at night is better, haha..there will be less people and not so much of that Indian smell.

For the past 1 week or so, I have watched around 13 movies in total, that’s quite a mean feat I believe. Below is a mini review of the movies I have watched.


Fahrenheit 911
This is an anti-bush film made by award winning director Michael Moore. It is more of a documentary show than a movie but nevertheless I enjoyed it thoroughly. Definitely one of the best show I rented this week compared to the others. This movie featured from the day Bush was appointed president of the united states of America and his actions when the unfortunate 911 incident happened. Honestly this show really makes me realize how stupid and retarded Bush is.
9/10


Super size me
Yet another documentary movie made by USA. This talks about an experiment a man did by eating MacDonalds for 3 meals a day for 30 days straight. The show records his visits to the doctors who measured his blood measure and weight throughout the 30 days and featured the health hazards that came along. These include dizziness, headache, difficultly in breathing and low sex drive. I wouldn’t fear the first 3 though, but low sex drive is the final straw for me.
7/10



The day after tomorrow
A natural disaster film and many of the scenes in it reminded me of the tragic Tsunami disaster. This one is on global warmth shifting and the world going to face another ice age. Quite entertaining with parts of thrills that will keep you on your seat. (I watched this film 2 years ago before and I have a habit of watching the same film over again)
7.5/10


Underground Train
A Chinese movie by Tony Leung and Mariam Yeung. A love story that revolves round the underground train, or so it claims, because I don’t really recall any scenes these 2 had any encounters at the train station. An ok movie, can watch if you have time to spare.
6/10


3 of a kind
Another Chinese movie and I wouldn’t do a review on this. This show wastes time, and my money. Damn it.
4/10


Vanilla Sky
Hoooo…Tom Cruise rocks. A movie quite some time ago that features little Cruise as a rich millionaire who had his future ruined by a jealous lover. Isn’t little Cruise dashing?
7/10



White Chicks
This show certainly surprises me. I had thought this show will waste my time but no, it’s quite entertaining in fact. It’s about 2 black FBIs who had to take over the lives of 2 spoilt rich girls they are supposed to protect. Nice ride, good laugh.
7/10


Meet the parents
I watched it 3 or 4 years ago in the cinema. After watching meet the fockers recently, I thought I would like to refresh its prequel. For me, the sequel is much better and funnier than the 1st.
6.5/10


There are a couple more which I watched but my short term memory had failed me yet again. Never mind, that means that the other shows that are not mentioned is not worth for me to remember. They must have suck anyway.

Apart from watching movies, I also finished a book “Chicken Soup for the unsinkable soul”. It was quite enjoyable, 101 short stories compiled into a book featuring stories of overcoming Life’s Challenges.

One week study break has started and it means another week of rotting for me. The worst thing was I haven started anything on the dreaded FYP yet and time is running out.
