recently i've had long periods of rest ♥
same goes for you as well i suppose , what with all the public holidays and eves .

other than going out , i've been busy gaming , reading and photoshopping (not so much) .
downloaded RO2 and waiting for the 3rd . i'm not sure whether it'll be suitable for my liking cuz although i dig RPGs , quite a few with 3d graphics make me a little nauseous .

i hope i like it though .
i've decided that im gna make my character a beastmaster

in the meantime i'm working on my black 2 again .
here is the overview of my team of 5:






oh btw , my samurrot is currently at lvl 96 , arcanine lvl 99 , haxourus at lvl 94 , tyranitar lvl 88 and kyruem lvl 91 . they go through fast and impressive level ups cuz i'm training them at black city to complete my team of 6 with a shiny garchomp which i will name midnight :D

*you will get a shiny gible when you complete 10 lvls of black tower (i've just completed lvl 9)*

funny that my team so far all have natures that i like or fit my own .
and all of their highest stat is their attack , just the way i like it .
cool or what ? *grins*

recently my hair has been treating me well , but my skin not so much .
weight still alright so i guess overall it's not so bad ~

finally went and got myself a new denim shirt .
here it is:

ootd .
dont bother about the footwear cuz it's slippers for me as usual 
recently denim shirts seem to cost a bomb but this piece is reasonable .
taken before meet up with merl :D

i've been watching alot of movies as of late ,
the hobbit , cz12 , wreck it ralph , les miserables and the guillotines .
(because the movies keep increasing , i have to keep editing this post)

so i'll talk about movies for abit .

when i watch a movie , normally after the movie , there will always be something that impacts me the most and that will be (to me) the main moral of the story . you know like as in literature ?

but somehow the take home lesson for me (i feel) sometimes differs from the intention of the maker .

so for your entertainment , the above titles :

the hobbit-  

a little background is that although i dont have any favourite characters , the one i like the most is probably thorin , the leader of the dwarfs .



why , because he is strong , lacks trust and angry ; but at the same time he has emotions that make him human (or dwarf , however you want it) . probably a hard shell with a soft center .

and he has all his loyal followers even though he may be a jerk at times .

also he is the type that holds on tightly to grudges despite the countless pleas to let it go for his own good which mostly fall on deaf ears .

i totally understand . stubborn ppl ftw .

so yup , what captured my attention the most in the movie was his fight with the pale orc .

whom he easily overpowered in the first encounter probably due to his anger ,
moreover was easily overpowered in the second but saved by bilbo's intervention .

lesson- not to be overconfident in your own abilities and seemingly weak people sometimes have strong hearts

* but the main character is the hobbit as the title so suggests , hence the lesson i believe , should be to never be afraid to keep trying and even though you don't have any special abilities , you could be the one that makes a difference *

it's just that i can relate to thorin's character more *mutters*

cz12- 

a sit back and relax movie , not much thinking needed .
don't get me wrong , it is a good action movie :)


no differing opinions here but i don't exactly believe in the moral of the story .

* movie seems to revolve around being a good person , and as a plus point you will be rewarded . because the good things only happened after the gang abandon thievery and take dramatic measures to be the good guys . cliche . *


wreck it ralph-

story isn't too shabby , pretty nice and sweet .
i think this is the other movie i got the message brought across right and i can bring myself to believe in the lesson .

 * doesn't matter if you are deemed as a misfit , you just have to have the strength to try hard and give it your best ; someone who will be able to accept and love you for what you are will come along *

les miserables-





 note to self : will think twice about watching musicals in future .

though i think (?) that les miserables is good because the story runs smoothly and i can totally imagine how it will be like if it's not a musical ; probably i would enjoy it about 10 times more if it's not .
predictable throughout though .

although i don't know much about musicals i think the acting was great .

and not forgetting hugh jackman of course ♥

because once again we were subjected to the first row seat , his character's proportion sometimes seemed out of whack ; face at times a little distorted , and at times he seems a little fat . can't tell if it's because he's playing an older character or it's the angle that i'm viewing from .

but nontheless , me like .

another note to self: first row seats at bugis+ are much better then first row seats at plaza sing .

despite my infatuation with hugh jackman , the part of the movie that made me contemplate the most was Éponine with her one sided love for Marius . obviously because i think it is foolish , self derogatory and i detest people who are weak like that . i have no qualms if you know where to draw the line .

hence lesson- enforce self to never get too caught up with one sided feelings

* although i suppose the movie is all about letting go of hate and learning to love in it's place . also you need to give plenty of love and forgiveness before you are rewarded , but the rewards reaped could be much better *

the guillotines-

no denying that i always like wuxia flicks so of course i like this too . 
movie has plenty of action , i like the cast because all of them seemingly play their roles very well .
plus i felt the plot was quite good and the open ending is refreshing for once .


was deciding on my favourite during the first bit of the movie:

wolf (played by huang xiaoming)

Leng (played by ethan juan)

generally i think i would have preferred wolf if leng wasn't so cute :p

but he was so ...

(and yes i prefer them rugged to clean cut)


because i'm too lazy to say any more (and thinking too much will make my head spin) ,

HAPPY NEW YEAR Y'ALL ~
