sequel curse

oh dear...i'm lagging on my blog posts again...but i think it doesn't matter anymore...dun think anybody's reading my blog anyway...have to wait so long...hahahaz...so juz blogging for myself to read...pls tag me some stuff so i noe my blog is not on verge of disappearing...=P

haiz...seems so much to blog abt but i dunno where to start...facing the cruel reality of school reopen...yes another round of lectures, tutorials, tests, lab reports and projects...as usual i need time to adjust from holiday to study mode which is always the difficult phase...and time REALLY flies cos i'm yr 2 le...double amt of knowledge to absorb & double level of difficulty...guess wat..i'm taking 5 sci mods this sem...so it's like stuck to sci fac...but one of the mod shld be interesting...FORENSIC SCIENCE...but again the lessons are like 7pm-10pm!!! I hate my timetable tis sem...no free days...long hrs (like 10pm?)...early days..unnecessary breaks...YUCKS...but i'll survive...i hope i will...

i've been busy with driving lessons these few days and for the last few weeks of holidays...i shld say i manage to overcome my driving fear and my skills are relatively ok...now tat sch reopens...my lessons are very less frequent and this is scaring me cos i realise i forget lots of stuff if i dun practise regularly...i juz nvr drive for 5 days then i began to make many silly mistakes during my recent lessons...omg...tat's y i say mahz...i've no consistency in wat i do...haiz...tat's my weakness! now i'm midway thru my driving course...hope i can pass by tis year...seriously hope! =)

oh yeah back to the title of my post...wat's sequel curse? it is actually wat i realise after watching so many sequels and almost none can be compared to their previous ones...dramas are like tat...movies are also like tat...recently i went on a movie frenzy (cos got student discount...hehe), watching money no enough 2 (wif my mom), mummy tomb of dragon emperor (wif ong) & 12 lotus (myself onli)...i can say tat none is as gd or better than their previous...

money no enough 2 was damn funny & sad at the same time. i had more tears of sorrow than joy (i cried until my eyes were still red when the movie ended!)...more of a melodrama...i prefer the 1st one but i cnt condemn the 2nd one cos it's really not bad...though i found the visuals lousy (but cnt blame since it's spore production), not much concentration on money issues but more on family issues...nevertheless i'll still support jack neo movies...they never fail to make me laugh & get into the story!

the mummy 3 was actually quite nice though the story plot was fairly simple & predictable...i like the addition of jet li & michelle yeoh...and the visuals are fantastic...but mummy 3 may lose out to mummy 1 & 2 cos it lacks the wow factor and excitement i shld say...and i think the movie duration is quite short so the movie seems a bit rushed? however, i'm easily contented...

12 lotus is the most recent movie i watch since it's like the 'not related' sequel to 881...and guess wat...i watched alone!!!!! actually it's quite shiok to watch alone...hahahz...better than to eat alone lohz...hahahz...back to the movie...i still prefer 881 but i like 12 lotus cos got romance element. But come to think abt it...the love element wasn't very strong..and it comes as a sad plot. i really sympathise with lian hua's fate in the movie...it's a sad sad story though i didn't cry i got tears in my eyes. a lot a lot of hokkien songs to expect which are catchy & gd acting frm leads. i just dun like the ending...seriously...nor here nor there! haiyo!

i really felt gd after yakking all my inner thoughts on my current life and movie reviews...hope ya guys do drop by once in a while to read my blog...will blog soon abt my upcoming faculty bash & dnd (my 1st time!!!) and grumbles on sch life =)
