Movie review: Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief.

Hi to everyone reading this, I have not blogged for a long time. Sorry to all people who make effort to come to this blog even though there has not been any new posts until now. Moving on, today I am going to review the new movie:

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief!

Spoiler alert! Please do not read if you plan to watch this movie, on the other hand you can ignore this spoiler alert and read on. This movie is all about Greek Gods, Demigods, mystical creatures e.g. Satyrs(pronounced "say-ters"), hell hounds ect. As the title of the movie suggests, this is about Percy Jackson and about a lightning bolt. This lightning bolt is no ordinary lightning bolt, it is the master bolt made for Zeus. Zeus is the "boss" of the Greek Gods. He has 2 brothers, Hades and Poseidon. As I have wrote earlier, Poseidon is the god of the sea. Hades is the god of the underworld or as many people call it, hell. Now on with the story, the gods suspect Percy of stealing Zeus' lightning bolt. The only thing is that Percy does not have the lightning bolt, it was some other guy who stole the lightning bolt I shall not reveal his/her name. Zeus warned Poseidon that if his son did not return the lighning bolt within 14 days, there would be war. In the end there was no war and Percy saved the world. Overall I would rate it a 9/10, mostly because there was alot of action and stuff like that. The plot was great, there were many "problems" in the movie and of course, solutions. I would recommend it to those who love adventure and.... well mostly adventure

Pre-Teen stage diving at Green Day concert in Singapore!

On Thursday, January the 14th, Green Day came to the Singapore indoor stadium.
Billie Joe Armstrong picked seven people to rock on stage with him, 3 who were Pre-Teens.
One of which is my friend, the boy who stage-dived. Here is the URL:

Thoughts of the day! (20/01/10)

Today, I went to Junction 8 with my mother to send my little sister the tuition center. I went to Comics Connection in Junction 8 and the shop was filled with secondary school pupils! I was the only person(besides the staff) not wearing school uniform. It was an awkward situation, so I went to Virtualand. To my suprise, the animal kaiser machines were totally empty! I was one of the only people near the animal kaiser machine(I have also caught the "AK" virus!). So I changed the notes for tokens. I looked around nervously and thought that the machines were hacked, or something wrong with the machine. I was wrong, the machine worked perfectly. I continued to play until all the tokens ran out. Then this one boy approached me and took a look when I was flipping my album(I have been playing for sometime and now put my cards in an album.) This animal kaiser game has attracted the likes of parents and children alike, this game is more about luck than tactical strategy. Except the part when you have to match the cards to get the best possible combo. Some people sell cards to earn extra $$$, they sell the extra foil cards(Gold, Silver and Bronze). I saw on Ebay, that sellers can sell 1 whole set of Ver1/2 for S$400! Some hardcore players can actually spend thousands of $$$ to win in competition.

In opinion, buying good cards are a waste of money. They are just meant to either help people win in competition or just to show off. In the end, when the animal kaiser trend ends, people will realise that they spent their money on unimportant things! Some people play for fun, some people play professionally. In my case, I play for fun. It does not matter if other people have better cards, the thing that matters is that you have fun. At the end of the day, you will understand that trends like this will end, but you will remember the joy of playing this game.

That is my thought of the day.
Cheers,
Kevin.

My yoyo!

My current yoyo is the counter attack yoyo by yoyofactory. It is an unresponsive yoyo and it requires the user to bind to get it back to your hand. Unlike a responsive yoyo, this yoyo's spintime is much longer. This is how it looks like:
With this yoyo, I can do more advanced tricks like Mcbride rollercoaster, matrix, rewind, barrel rolls, kwijibo, boingy-boing and much more. This yoyo supports a center-trac bearing, and
silicone K-pads to make it unresponsive. To find out more about yoyo's go to this website:

It has nearly everything you need to know about yoyo's!

Thoughts of the day!

Today, Ms Chia shared with us an interesting story about her friend's son, Isaac.(I hope I spelled that correctly!) This 5 year old boy knows how to manipulate other people, and he is only 5 years old!(wow! at 5 years old, I was learning my 2nd language.) This boy is really smart! My opinion about Ms Chia's story is that when parenting, we need to be careful and think things through before making the wrong move.
Ms Chia also asked us to read 2 compositions. One of which was Chester's and the other was Zong Rui. After I read the 2 compositions, I thought: Hey! Chesters one is really good! It has a lot of action, speech, and feelings! I support this composition, and take note to remember of it as it is a great composition. Zong Rui's one on the other hand, is too dramatic! It's the same as saying a 11-13 year old boy crying for his girl friend passionately as she might have died! That is not a common sight, it is really rare or impossible to see such a scene in real life, so it is not realistic enough for the reader to believe that all this might happen!The positive things to say are Zong Rui elaborated more than Chester. He was creative and descriptive. The negative points about Chesters composition is the Paper airplane stunt. As if the paper airplane would be lucky enough to fly out of the window on the ceiling! Not likely going to happen in real life, and the paper appeared out of thin air. The main character was hiding and hoping not to get discovered by the robbers. That is a fairytale. The robbers would be smart enough to check the surrounding area for witnesses and shoot them dead. What I am saying is that I prefer Chesters compositition over Zong Rui's composition, not that I don't like Zong Rui's compo. I think both of them have more space to improve on such as paragraphing for Zong Rui and more "colourful" phrases from Chester.

That's my opinion, how about yours?
Cheers,
Kevin.
