The Incredible Hulk

Get Ready to Unleash The Beast

plot:

'The Incredible Hulk' tells the story of Dr Bruce Banner (Edward Norton), who seeks a cure to his unique condition, which causes him to turn into The Hulk under emotional stress. Whilst on the run from military which seeks his capture, Banner comes close to a cure. But all is lost when a new creature emerges; The Abomination (Tim Roth)

rating: 9/10 (MUST WATCH)
This is yet another nice movie I have watched (in the cinema) recently, from Iron Man to Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian, and finally The Incredible Hulk. You may say I've overrated this movie, but I felt that it's damn damn damn good compared to the earlier Hulk (2003) directed by Ang Lee. This one packs more realistic details (the Hulk's pants, destruction IN New York rather than him just jumping around in some hell dessert). The Incredible Hulk also jumps straight in to fights, battles, and actions. No more long story how it all began, just a simple flashback and BAM! it's clobbering time. The good parts of the movies would be all the fighting scenes, be awed by the might of the Hulk. And of course not forgetting the best part when The Hulk clashes with The Abomination. Look at 2 giants crushing each other.. simply incredible.. =)

some "interesting" facts about The Hulk
- The Hulk was originally grey in colour, but due to printing problems in the first few comics, he came out green instead. (they just decided to continue in green)
- The Hulk's strength (in the comics) is limitless, it is affected directly by his emotion, especially anger. Thus the expression, the angrier The Hulk, the stronger he is
- Due to this fact, The Abomination is actually nothing compared to The Hulk, as it's not able to increase his strength through its emotions
- The Hulk is one of the founding members of the Avengers / the Ultimates
- In the Avengers, The Hulk left the team, and was indirectly replaced by Captain America, as he was afraid of hurting his fellow team mates
- In the Ultimates, Banner (The Hulk) was invited to the team to invent another super soldier serum that created Captain America. However due to failures, Banner inject himself instead with the Hulk-serum, turning him into the ever dangerous Hulk. He was later punished to death (but survived)
- In the movie, Banner was not able to control himself as the Hulk, due to the unleashing of his anger
- In the game, Banner and The Hulk is two entirely different characters and personalities. The Hulk takes over control once Banner transformed into it
- However, in both version, although the Hulk is thought to be dangerous, it's actually doing good stuff.. LOL

Sweeney Todd
The Demon Barber of the Fleet Street

vengeance.never forget.never forgive

the story of a man, who has lost his wife and daughter. he seeks revenge on the one who caused his misery. the man was a fine barber. the lost was too much for him to handle. greater lost he felt, as he lost he chance of killing the one. he turn into a demon. a demon who see everyone, everything as his victim.

straight razor was his weapon. shaving was his skill. throat was his bulls eye. innocent and unknowing victims feel relaxed on the seat. not knowing that they are about to meet their doom. the demon slits. the demon step on the pedal. the demon send them down to the oven. his minion bake them. his minion makes them into meat pies.

sharpen. sharpen. sharpen. and go for the kill. that's all that the demon had in his mind

finale. he slit the throat of the one who turned him into this demon. the throat of his lackey. the throat of his long lost wife. the throat of the one who loves him. and a boy slit his.

demon barber of the fleet street
beware the next time you go for a shave

as time passes, everything seems to fade away..

if a thing has 86400 parts to it,

every second, a part of it fades away,

every minute, 60 parts of it fade away,

every hour, 3600 parts of it fade away,

it only takes a day to fade away completely..

and people are complaining there's not enough time in the world..

crap.. don't even understand wad e heck is this

oh well.. it's hurtful.. but i guess.. what i did back a few days ago.. just turn back and hit me too... i gain something here... i lose something there.. i guess i am really that irritating, and just don't know when to stop... sorry to all those whom i have offended again and again...

haha.. i felt like posting this... i have lost too many things and friends to be able to recover them back...

i guess i have just lost you.. we are barely friends nowadays.. shouting at each other, just because of the slightest things... is that even what friends are supposed to be like... i guess you are back to leading your normal and happy life.. and that's because i haven't been in touch with you for some time?.. haha.. good luck and take care...

starting a journey of my own.. in this "foreign place"...

GESS SL camp and handover day!!

wow.. this week has been a blast.. with all the strengthquest workshop, PC day, alvin-leon's birthday party, and it has come down to GESS SL camp and handover day!!! haha

1st day of GESS SL camp,
this is the stating day of the camp, too bad i arrived late at school and miss their mission impossible activity. basically its a mini-game to get the campers assorted into groups rather than just telling them what groups are they in.. next they had a little icebreaker cum bonding, in which all the groups created their group name, group flag, and group cheers. there were 4 groups; sunny side up, d24, blue storm and spartans! haha how creative they can be. i especially like the name spartans and their group cheers. it goes like, "who are we? spartans spartans spartans! spartans wad? ough ough ough!" so barbarian i know HAHA, but its cool! anyways the major activity today was amazing race.. so many things happen during the amazing race and oh my THEIR GAMES ARE SUPER CREATIVE, i felt so undermined when i compare my first camp with this camp.. haha.. anyways they met up with a few problems also.. getting chased out of borders and safra! LOL.. then they went for dinner and had night activities which is quite good as well i feel.. lights out at around 0000! had a debrief for the OC (organising committee) and had a long long chat with my friend whom i havent seen for a while haha =)

2nd day of GESS SL camp
today is the day that all the SLs have been waiting for, their destination is: Sarimbun Scouts Camp!! haha... of course in the morning we had a little pt both for the OC and the campers haha and of course OC's pt was handled by hoong leong and i got a little share of it =P haha.. after the pt was breakfast before setting off for SSC! once they reached SSC, the SLs got divided into 3 groups and they went for the various activities planned by innotrek for them, of which there were 3 major activities: rafting, rock climbing and challenge valley!! too bad i didn't get to participate cos i didn't wanna get dirty HAHA! orh there were also 3 scouts who went to SSC to be tested by hoong leong for their cook test, and of course i get to eat the stuff they cook, although not the most hygienic food around, it sure is delicious =) too bad there was an accident and one of the SL got hit in the nose by the raft, so hoong leong and me quickly sent her to NUH to get it checked.. yup.. anyway after that the SLs went to kranji dam for their night trail.. omg.. the night trail is so damn COOL! it was inside the forest nearby the dam, and as there were canopies, the whole place is just so damn dark, you don't know what's lurking nearby!!! haha.. after the night trail, SLs went back to school, and i carried out my little activity for them, to impress upon them the role of a student leader.. yup hope you guys still remember the lesson that i carried out =) slept at 330 after a long evaluation with the OC

3rd day of SL Camp, and handover day!
today's the handover day for us 32nd tj sc, so i didn't stay in gess anymore and went for the handover day. went to sentosa for the morning activities.. and the 2 activities that we play is crazy.. first task for us was to build a TALL structure, using whatever material we can find.. in the end my group lost and we were smeared hair gel, especially me, cos my face was full of gell even on my nose! darn.. second activity WAS GROSS!!! we had to roll down the beach and get a mouthful of the seawater before rolling back up to transfer it into a 1.5l water bottle! OMG.. damn disgusting can.. anyway in the end both group had the chance to splash one another with the water collected YUCK!!! by the end of this activity, it had started raining, and we wasted around 2hours waiting for the rain to subside.. then went for lunch before going back to tj at 3pm.. once we were in school, we had a task to find 36 locker knobs ALL over the school, we managed to find them all within 2hours.. next we had to do 32 SETS of push up in front of the TJC school crest, to represent the 32nd willingness to serve the school with humility, each push up's count must be spelled out, ie for the first push up we need to do 3 push up as there are 3 letters "O-N-E" we finished it at 6pm before moving on to our next task to find a few items regarding the few posts in SC that were hidden again all over the school.. we finished within an hour and we got our final task, to find the president's key.. it was quite easy because we found it within 10 minutes!!! haha.. we played a little game before going into the council room, which will become ours AND DAMN!!!! WE GOT TRICKED WHEN WE WENT IN, AND THE ROOM STINKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG.. did a quick clean up as much as possible, and i went off at 9.30...

WHAT A TIRING WEEKEND!!!! haha....

to my best friend: hey! hope we have cleared all our misunderstanding, and we can get closer! =) anyway i really missed the SLs once i went to harbourfront.. haha.. I really felt i have become the SL family, and of course will continue to help them grow!!=)

to OC of GESS SL CAMP: GREAT JOB GUYS!! I envy you all for the fact that you all could work as a team, and you guys handled problems readily and of course improved over the days! KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB and hope you all learn something from this camp!!! =)

to cadence: hey! thanks for the wonderful thumbdrive and strap that you gave me, also thanks for the nice locker design of a beach! haha I LIKE MY BIG BIG BIG and OUTSTANDING name there =) THANK YOU!!! and good luck for JCT! =)

strengthquest & pc day!

hrm.. today has been the most fruitful day since last saturday (when we started participating in that STUPID NYEC).. seriously.. argh.. i shall not blog about it.. so pissed with that ass... NEVER MIND.. anyways today was the workshop for our strengthquest.. for those of you who don't know what strengthquest is.. basically its a programme where they show you what qualities/strengths you have and how to develop it.. this programme is different from other personality test as it does not show you your weakness, but only strengths. their rationale is the fact that you can go furthest when you emphasize and develop on your strengths, rather than working on your many many weaknesses.. an analogy will be the fact that it is easier to ask you to develop what is already in you rather than trying to force you to develop what you do not have in you.. yup.. so from the workshop i basically find out how the strengths can actually be interplayed with one another, and realize what i had in me: responsibility - community - relator - restorative - arranger. yup.. and i now know how to work among these 5 strengths to actually further my potential =) thank you to ms. norsheha, ms. kwan, mr. lim and mr. heng for the workshop! i'm sure the other 32nd councillors also benefited a lot from this workshop.. yup

next up is pc day! (although before this some of the 32nd councillors had a meeting with mr. tong, but shall not talk about it lar.. haha).. basically, we planned some amazing race cum hide-and-seek in esplanade, complete with a kidnapping scenario, for the seniors.. and unfortunately, cadence is chosen to be the victim.. sorry cadence! haha.. hrm.. some of the activities were quite lame, but i hope the seniors could bear with it.. ya.. anyway after that we went for dinner and icecream! and we had mini gossiping and talking crap session.. haha THANKS TO ALL PC FOR THE DAY!! IT WAS VERY ENJOYABLE =)

to the senior PCs: hope you guys and gals enjoyed the day, but honestly i felt bad for the fact that you guys and gals expected like bowling/pool/movies.. ya.. hrm.. instead making you all tired with all the activities.. i hope the dinner and dessert could compensate that.. haha.. sorry!

personal messages to all the senior PCs,
ziko: hi zik.. i have worked with you during scip as your direct junior. although we didn't really communicate much, but i thought we share the same sentiment and felt bad that we slack a lot during scip.. haha.. BUT i still gotta thank you for all the small small little things that you share with me along the way, making me more confident each day of being the vice pres for scip.. yup.. although you are not my direct senior now, you are still my senior all the same.. =) thank you!

kang yu: hi kang yu.. lol the guy who always go to one corner suddenly and starts to "emo".. haha i have to thank you for that little "lesson" that you shared with me during the scip jts.. i gained a lot of perspective of council and leadership from those things that you shared with me.. although i may not agree to everything that you say, i do agree to most things that you said.. yup.. and you remind me of my old self, where i didn't use to think so much.. haha..

ming jin: hi mj.. hrm.. you are probably the pc senior that i worked with the least, yet i need to thank you for your time off whenever i ask you details about your project, before i chose my project.. yup.. i did consider your project and staff day, but i felt safer with staff day as i have done it before and anyway the rest didn't wanna do staff day.. yup.. and i also learn quite a few things from your action plan for mardi gras, where you do it in one paper for all the 4 different locations.. so ya.. these are the little little things that i have learnt from you =)

cadence: hi cadence! haha, you are my direct senior, the best for the last! (haha.. dun be too offended hor other pcs =)) thank you for wanting to share with me a lot about staff day.. although i may not be the best available junior that you can get, i will work hard to make you proud! =).. i have learnt quite a lot from you for the fact that i was attached during mardi gras to you.. i saw the way you communicate with the performers, student helpers, tutors-in-charge, and the av crew.. these are really the people skills that i will need during my term as a project coordinator, and i hope i can learn more from you.. haha.. yup =D

to fellow 32nd PCs: wait for your turn NEXT YEAR!!! HAHA =P
