What will be shall be

Random mumblings

I apologize for the lack of updates. For the past 2 weeks or so I have been caught in the World Cup fever and have been sleeping for less than 5 hours every night, which explains why my friends have commented that I looked like a walking zombie. My eyes only will lit up when I see the gambling odds for the day's matches and of course, lunch time.

It's getting increasingly hard to maintain a blog. Many blogs which I have been reading all this while have either announced its closure or had not been updated for a zillion years. While I have been trying pretty hard to update it once a week, however, sometimes the inspiration just doesn't come.

Of course, I am not going to close this blog down again (I did close it somewhere last October) because this blog is a store for many of my memories. And this blog also offers a place for me to write all my nonsensical bullshit like my entries on http://malmoncolo.blogspot.com/2006/06/real-story-of-dragon-boat-festival.html and

It has been great fun.

Movie Review

I watched Superman last week. To be honest, it wasn't as good as I thought. I had expected more actions as what this type of superheroes movie should have. My opinions could be biased because I was never fascinated by the Superman cartoon when I was young. He was never my hero - my type of hero will be never be one who likes to wear his underwear on the outside and it's a red one somemore.

Superman is lucky that he doesn't live in Singapore. It would have been very hard to find a telephone booth to change into his suit. With the type of various filming technologies available in a handphone, he could have been caught on video changing at one of the void decks. His video of him being caught with his pants down would have been circulated around and perhaps this time he will leave the earth for good in shame instead of coming back 5 years later as in the movie.

And also with the temperature in Singapore soaring up to 34 degrees Celsius, no man can walk around wearing an underwear beneath, a plastic suit as the first layer, another underwear on the outside and cilvillian wear concealing the suit- not even Superman himself. Before he could take off on his rescue mission, he would have died of dehydration.

In my opinion, the movie pales in terms of storyline compared to 2 other more recent superhero movies SPIDERMAN 2 and BATMAN BEGINS . However, with the recent quality of movies coming out, SUPERMAN RETURNS could just be the only movie worth watching.
