Premier Passes To X-Men Origins Wolverine

Posted by danielctw On April - 29 - 2009

A week back, I got a splendid surprise and I found out I have the passes to one of the most awaited movie and most X-Men’s favorite hero.

What Pass is that? (I know I look chubby and not cool in the above photo)

The date was April 28 2009, the date I got my date with Wolverine from the X-Men anthologies. I received my premiere passes sponsored by CIMB Bank and since it was a premiere, as usual there would be guards stationed all around the theater. As the debut date is 29th, which is the following day, a few lucky ones have the chance to watch it first hand.

Free Passes To Wolverin X-Men Origins

Sypnosis of the Story

X-Men Origins talk about the life of Wolverine or known as John Logan from the comic. It tells of how his nature was formed, and his life from child. There are of course lots of twist and turn and I must say to those followers of the X-Men comics, they are definitely fond of Wolverine as one of the all time favorite. A few things one should know, Wolverine cannot grow old to a certain age, thus his life and longevity brings us to what we called the X-Men 2045 brought towards the future (but that’s another story).

This story tells us all about his life, how he got his claws, his brotherhood and villain The Sabretooth. Yup, there are loads more to it, die hard fans of the X-Men would know a lot of his story way back during the comic heirloom days.

My Remarks About The Movie

The movie was great. Imagine my favorite X-Men comic hero being featured in a movie. The visual effects as usual were excellent. Though at times you wondered, his character buildup was like rather invincible. Funny thing though, the trailer and posters show a lot of Scott Summers (known as the Cyclops) and Gambit. These are known names from the series. Though since this is all about Wolverine, maybe that’s why they play a very small significant part.

I would give this movie a 8/10 for it’s incredible effects and storyline. Finally you get to know what made him a beast.

Now my final response to it. I shall be Wolverine now~~~~~

Though unforeseen circumstances happened, I lost my Casio Exilim Z750 in the process. :(

Life Now Lesser Income

Posted by danielctw On April - 24 - 2009

I just realized I am not saving like I used to. Looks like it’s time for me to ponder and maybe don’t go for any other trips and DSLR poison for the coming months and days.

So no more lending money already, I shall start to collect back in these coming days. Not going to go out too often too. Seems like I am suffering. Maybe I am, maybe I am not. So I guessed it’s back to the drawing board as I try to make my personal blog hit the top rank in order to support my expensive hobbies and escapades.

So I hope people can support my website as you visit my sponsors and also in return I shall write posts to entertain you.

Today’s agenda

Just back home after a grueling tired badminton match and also a late dinner. I am so not fit as I used to be. Haven’t been writing this kind of entry for awhile. Some people love to read this kind of entries as it portrays originality and also they love to know what is happening in one’s life. Though some say it’s too boring. So in a dilemma, I shall solve this by putting a small section of what I thought in the small talk. Parents also back from Langkawi, finally some order in the house.

Found out paying bills the hard way, as all of a sudden income depletes faster this month. Wonder why?

Rather I guessed the following comic sums my life up as a programmer.

Don’t you partially agree?

Midnight Moon

Posted by danielctw On April - 22 - 2009

Too Bright Moonlight

These few days I haven’t been having enough rest.
These few days I haven’t been having enough jogging exercise.
These few days I haven’t been going through my Japanese notes.
These few days I haven’t understood whether is this company for me.

Night will come after the day
Like how one age after a year
Time passes by as we go on our way
As we age I use to find it a fear

Moon rises in the midnight
Reminds me of twilight
Though it might shine so very bright
I am scared of a Vulcan’s bite

Sometimes why does one work?
I wish everyday I can just plurk
Like they said, no work no money
Somehow reminds me of no money no honey

No Money No Honey

Cannot ‘Tahan’ Need To Go Back

Posted by danielctw On April - 18 - 2009

Yesterday I had the most exhilarating thing that happened to me. Little did I know it would be so troublesome?

While waiting for the time to end and be on my way home from office, I felt something was amiss. Putting it aside, the elevator opened and was not full of people. So off I go into the elevator and thought of making my way back home. What a stupid mistake!!
Now walking towards the car, I suddenly felt an urge that I should reached home quickly. I tried to maintain coolness and not to run though.

Finally reached my car, I decided I shall not on any air-condition so as not to aggravate the feeling. Besides, hot weather seems to enable one to control oneself better. Then it seems harder with the traffic jam due to the traffic light going bonkers. I just need to put my mind off it and this is what I did.

I Can't Stop It

My mind went into a blank mode as I was having this blank stare mode so as to be on focus on driving and didn’t bothered if a car went past me. I was just trying to keep my cool. It was 10 minutes more to home and I must say, ahhh.. How long more can I withstand this uneasiness?

A few more minutes away I called my bro to open the gate for me. I wouldn’t want to miss it by wasting time opening the big gate by myself and using strength just to open it. Reaching the parking lot designated for me, I then straight rushed in, and….. did my ‘BIG BUSINESS

I Feel Uneasy

Ps : No stomach was harmed in the process of telling this story
Pss: I spared you the extra details and by now you should know what it means.
Psss: Please don’t kill me if you’ve just eaten your lunch or dinner. Bwahaha

BHP Orange Run 2009 Tiredness

Posted by danielctw On April - 12 - 2009

And so it seems it was Easter today. Well, the day when I was running the BHP Orange Run coincidentally that falls on this day. Yes, BHP Run which covers about 11km and at least I find that I did it better than the time when I was running in the Zoo Negara which was only 9.4km.

Orange Run 2009
The Curve, Mutiara Damansara
April 12, 2009; 7:30am
Organised by BH Petrol
11km

To say the least, the run was fun with lots and lots of participants. For the first time, I don’t feel as tired when the time I ran at Zoo Negara as I paced myself for the first 3 km only to lose my footing at some curb which made me walk later on for awhile. Still managed to go 1 hour unlike those winners which do 40 minutes. Nevertheless it was fun running again. At least better than sitting in front of the PC whole day whole night. Now this is what I call a sport, unlike badminton and others which are just treated as a game.

BHP Orange Run Redemption Counter

I was there, and met up with Kyuzo, an ex-colleague and friend who went running together. Well, this time I got to say he wins me in terms of stamina. I have a lot to catch up I think. We maintained pace until the final 3 – 4 km, he went on his own. Thus my journey started there and then. This track to my experience has a lot of uphill and downhill slope which I find I do better on the uphill run. Well, maybe due to my light body, I could actually run uphill faster. Also haha.. if you read my friend’s entry, I was a butt chaser too. LoL

The key this time was to wear light. I chose my basketball jersey and a very short shorts to run and right I was feeling lighter as the sweat doesn’t wet my suit and drag me down like it used to during the Zoo run. For those that wants to know the experience of running in this kind of run, you may view the video below courtesy of runwitme.

So what is my next race? What else? The KL Marathon Race would be next.

I am so into this once again. I should improve on my endurance and stamina. Getting a stopwatch would be a good idea.
