Book Review 2: Pendragon: The Reality Bug

Hello all readers,

Today's post is about another book review! After reading the book"Pendragon: The Never War", I was hooked on the Pendragon series. Now, thanks to Kelly Wong(Thank You Kelly Wong!), I was able to read the next book in the series, The Reality Bug. This book takes place in the world of Veelox, a futuristic planet/territory. The main issue of this book is LifeLight, a system which can read your brain and display your fantasy world. The system is something like the tube-like chamber from "Avatar"(The blue alien movie). This traveller, called Aja Killian, thought Lifelight was too addictive that the citizens of Veelox spend too much time in it, so she created a virus called "The Reality Bug". The effects of this virus are..... Too much said already, go read the book yourself.

Overall, out of 10, I would rate it 9/10. Again, the author creates suspense at the end of every chapter, so I felt like reading it even though I had to do other things which did not include reading this book. The plot was good and there were a lot of twist's, just like the previous book. After reading this book, I now have more knowledge of the world of Veelox. The only thing is that there was a sad ending to this book. I find this realistic as Bobby Pendragon has had 3 wins over Saint Dane, and this is the first time he failed. Again, I must thank Kelly Wong for the exchange. If you have a Pendragon book with you, please leave a comment to notify. Thanks.

Yours sincerely,

Movie Review: Alice in Wonderland

This is a classic. A Disney classic. This time, they made Johnny Depp a mad(as in crazy) person called the mad hatter. Movie directed my Tim Burton. The movie I watched was in 3-D so the effects were good. Out of 10, I would rate it a 7/10. Even though it is supposed to be a family classic, there were some characters that just looked bizarre! E.g. the Red Queen, The mad hatter, etc. It still sticks to the original plot about Alice falling down the hole that leads to Wonderland, but some parts are new, such as the White Queen, the dragon slaying etc.
The characters wore a layer of make-up, a Layer! I am not exaggerating. Their faces were white as sheet. Overall, this movie is still for kids, but Parental Guidance(PG) is advised.

Book Review! Pendragon: The Never War

Dear all readers, today's new post is about the book "Pendragon: The Never War". This book is about history. I suggest that people reading this post read the Pendragon series from the beginning as it has most of the characters' description and tell you how it all happened. "The Never War" takes place in first earth which is right after World War I. There are 3 earths. The past(first earth), present(second earth) and third earth(the future). There is this evil guy named Saint Dane and he plans to do really bad stuff and make Bobby Pendragons life hard(BTW, Bobby Pendragon is the main protagonist in the series.) The big event in this book is the crash of Luft Zeppelin-129, The Hidenburg. There are alot of twists in this story and I would rate it....8/10. The 2 missing marks/points are due to the fact that the book is unrealistic. E.g. the cause of the Hidenburg crash still remains a mystery, there are such things as time travellers etc. The rest is pretty much alright. I noticed that at the end of each chapter, the suspense always builds up. There are twists that the reader will not expect. Overall, I recommend this book to those sci-fi fans and fantasy fans. Please comment! :)

Yours sincerely,

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.
