In 2 days.. I've watched "The Incredible Hulk" TWICE! Once with kor and another with sy and ken.
Check out the movie. After the first time i watched it, i was confused about the ending and some ambiguous parts in the movie. The second time around, it was much clearer and the ending was explained by ken. At least he came out with a probability for the appearance of someone that i couldn't place at first. I want to say more but it is just too much of a spoiler and i'm afraid i'll spoil the movie for those who have yet to find time for this really incredible movie. I'll just say that the ending leaves much to anticipate...
I'd say that the movie does a great combination of humour, wit, adventure and human faults. There were some points where the whole cinema burst out laughing and one part where the more sensitive ones were cringing in their seats (i did.). Alright i think i'm in danger of revealing scenes... so for any other detail, either read the reviews written by the pros or best yet, watch it for yourself!=)
There was one part in the movie that really set me thinking. Being a fugitive and on the run, without the aid of plastic and any sort of identification, what would i do to give away my location to the people i'm running away from? I'm quite a careless person. I think i would probably last all of 24 hours before hunger, tiredness, and visions of home overwhelm me and i'll just walk into the police station. HAHA!! Just what an "adventurous" person i am yeah? How do you suppose you'll let up?
Seriously speaking, how are you to survive in this world without money? I'm not so ignorant, so i do know that in certain countries where the government has too much in its hands, birth certs or any such form of identification papers are scarce or just unattainable. The people would usually be poor too and yet they scrape by, making a living somehow and obtaining food. But to be on the run, how do you cross borders without any papers?? If it were really that easy, won't we be living in a flawed world with boundaries like tracing paper? And just how much money can you obtain by begging and pawning your valuable belongings? There is a limit, no? Even if you try to survive by working as a commoner, you'll still be a misfit in society because in order to keep yourself invisible (figuratively) you'll have to keep your identity and personal life away from scrutiny and might be regarded as an oddball which does not serve well in any community, moreover, you are passively distinguishing yourself from the crowd which contradicts your initial intentions. Its a wonder...

Met up with sy jacob mingjie and ken for lunch/hightea/dinner at ikea ytd. =) Had meatballs!!! Haha. And it was cool seeing ken again.
Mixing around too much with sy makes me more prone to doing weird actions in public now. I had better watch myself if not people might think i'm psychotic with a constant wound up musical box in my brain playing music only i can hear. Haha.
Alrights. Bye!
