Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes

Some might recall this discussion last year. On February 16th 2007, I made a post on one of the greatest literary works in the history of Graphic novels ("Who Watches the Watchmen"). I remember reading Watchmen and felt intrigued by the storyline and its magnificient use of symbolisms. Then I mentioned about the film adaptation that was coming soon.

Well, the wait is gone.
After a more than a year of anticipation, the trailer has finally revealed itself.



The costumes have become more intense, the presentation is fierce.
I thing the first thing that caught my eye was when Silk Spectre II crashes from the ceiling, as if revealing a new hidden prowress in the superheroine.
Manhattan, Nite Owl, Silk Spectre, The Comedian, Ozymandias, Rorsharch...

God, if everyone here knew how this film is important.

I think the best way to describe the story is from an interview by the director Zack Snyder (who directed 300) I read, "That's really the dilemma that they face. Superman has the ability to go to all world leaders and say 'I will kill all of you if you don't behave.' He could do that, but why doesn't he?"

Big Farewell to the Gentle Giant

My fun moments are mostly in my sociology class, ranging from the hilarious projects we did and the games we played the day before the holidays. So it did come as a shocker when we heard Ckg Hadi was leaving. Next to the planned dinner we were holding at Capers, Ckg Hadi keeps surprising is to the end with his pastries ^_^







Sayonara Ckg Hadi! Hope we'll see you again!

The End from Scratch

Related to June 12th 2008 post. How I started History: The Equinox Comic Contest.

I did something that not many people could do. I started a contest from scratch and made it successful. It's beautiful to see something that you put you heart into bloom at its height.

Last night, I was working on the Equinox sign at home with my dad. As you can see below, you can see the process of how I worked it.

First of all, Dad and I picked out some random colour paper to use to cover the board.

Then choose different fonts for display. See 'Comic Contest' and 'Writing' is in different fonts.

With Dad's help, we designed the placing of the words on the board, and it looks bloody amazing!

VOILA! The next day with the help of the juniors, it looks magnificient!

After all the designs are done, the ceremony begins and the Seniors and Juniors celebrate their hardships.

The Juniors who will take over for us ^_^

I fixed the entries that came in into a nice display.

After the ceremony. Both displays for everyone to see.

Ckg Abdullah, The Vice Principal, was amazed with what I did and the Equinox entries, decribing it as 'Very Commercial'. Then he remembered the day I met him during the registering before school started. He reminded me that I wanted to become a Film Director and saw how much I progressed over the two years.

I went home today satisfied with what I did. Now I understand the satisfaction after blood, sweat, and tears. The Comic Contest is my pride and joy I will remember for the rest of my life. What you start from small can become big if you put you backbone into it. To succeed is to break boundaries, I told everyone. I made my own advertisements, my own samples, designed the board, created the displays..

Why am I doing this? So I can be remembered. Mom said to me, "The real winner is you in the end."

Apocalypse now

Finally got to watch Apocalypse Now. The film displays horrors of war amazingly. It makes you think who is the real good guys in the film. Or better, are there any good guys at all?

One scene that stiked me was the Helicopter Attack. Helicopters blast unmercifully through an enemy village and as a scaring tactic, Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries was played. This is a terrifying example of Psychological Warfare.



Thought I'd play the song next time I drive to school.

Magibon

I was slacking of in class (for a while!).

I was in the computer lab and I was wondering if the Wi-fi signal is strong enough to watch youtube.

So I played a Magibon, a youtube phenom who has a habit of staring at the webcam for less than a minute. Nobody knows why or what's she doing there, staring at the screen, saying nothing. It creeps people out sometimes.

One thing's for sure, she's bloody cute!



Here's her most popular video. Prepare to be hypnotised!

Andersons

Did the girls a favor by driving to Yean's house and transporting her to school. Its great to see old friends reunite again ^_^

(L-R) Mei, Nis, Dye, Yean : Andersons

Lazy bones

Sorry for the little updates!

I admit, I'm a bit lazy and always occupied with something.

So I'm gonna update and make some reminders.

See ya
