Journey to Modern Mythology

The release of Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief does make me super exciting, and I am expecting the movie to become the next brilliance book-to-screen adaptation movie franchise. The idea of combine ancient Greek mythology with modern day is really marvelous, plus strong supporting casts as Gods & mythical creatures does boost up the attraction.

However, I’m really disappointed with the movie. It is not a miserable movie, but I was expecting a better story and stronger villain. Too many plot holes in the movie, and when the villain finally revealed himself in the movie, it just failed to convince me that he actually planned and worked this out all by himself.

In fast, the actual main problem of this movie is the original plot of the novel has been distorted, and this act has ruined the magic of the novel. Here are some of the major issues:
  • 3 important characters - Kronos (The leader of the first generation of Titans; father of Zeus, Hades & Poseidon), Ares (The God of War) & Clarisse La Rue (demigod; daughter of Ares) and the great prophecy are all incredible important parts in the series and yet neither made an appearance nor had any significance in the movie.
  • The majority of the movie is about the journey of 3 teenagers going after the magical pearls, but the pearls were minor in the novel.
  • The original main villain of Percy Jackson & the Olympians series is Kronos, which is a much better & darker villain if compare with the movie. And the final climatic fight in the novel is Percy against Ares instead, which is more exciting.
On the other hand, creative ideas of merging various ancient myths with the modern world, the stunning special effects, and fascinating characters played by Hollywood movie stars did make the movie better. Nevertheless, I’m still looking forward the movie adaptation of second installment of the series - The Sea of Monsters, and hope it will correct all the flaws.

人生另一个转捩点

既然选择了在我人生中其中的一个高峰点放弃了它,难免有些犹豫。
原因是我对它实在有太多的怨言与不满意。
继续勉强下去只会让我更消沉,士气更低落。
进来了半年,感觉能学习的事物真不多,目标漂浮不定,让我更怀疑当初的决定。

结果为了更好的前途,听取朋友的劝告,而决定全职继续升学。
可是过后既然幸运地得到了别家大公司的赏识,献上更优的offer,感觉非常雀跃。
基于更多的考量,为了跑更长远的路,最终觉得升学更重要,而忍痛推了。

很犹豫自己的决定是否正确。
还是别想太多,希望更好的前'钱'途吧。。。

Pavilion梅花朵朵开

每年新年布置都让人惊艳的Pavilion,今年再以简单却华丽的粉红梅花朵朵开全场取胜。。。
超佩服这商场的幕后功臣。。。

虎虎生风

今年的农历新年特别让我期待,因为之前的几个月,恶劣的状况连连,很期待新的一年能彻底赶走霉运。。。
而让我更high的,既然是除夕夜热闹的满天烟火。。。
自从多年前政府禁止了人民燃放烟火,已有好久没渡过如此吵闹的除夕夜了。。。
让人怀念的童年炮火连天的除夕夜。。。
而随着时代的进步,人民燃放的也不再是童年的那些小型烟火,而是可媲美倒数活动的巨型烟火。。。
满天星火的夜晚真让人感动。。。

以下也是让人赏心悦目的香港农历新年巨型烟火活动。。。
真希望有一天吉隆坡也能举行如此的农历新年倒数活动。。。

在新的一年祝大家新年快乐,虎年大吉,虎氣沖天!

回归人间 :P

不知不觉,绝迹了部落格已有超过半年的时间。。。

原因呢?说来话长。。。
就如之前背弓蛇影篇所提过的,去年年头泰国之旅后就怪病缠身。。。
之后半年更变本加厉,身体异常衰弱。。。
虽然不是什么世纪绝症,也没严重到要住院那种。。。
一向健康的我却初次深感痛苦,曾经自暴自弃。。。
之前的乐观与朝气也消失无踪。。。

那时的我一瞬间暴瘦了10kg,样子非常憔悴,很多朋友见到我也感惊讶。。。

而头发也瞬间脱落了超过一半以上。。。

幸好托大家的福,雨过天晴,现在总算身体逐渐步入健康轨道。。。
也感谢这几个月来很多朋友的关心,希望悲剧就此结束吧。。。
新一年会更顺利吧。。。
而病的源由,也只能说是灵异事件吧。。。
医生说我的身体状况非常健康,却不解为何会如此,而且很多时侯吃药也无法医治。。。
Anyway这事件后,让我更珍惜身体健康。。。
而我也不会因此,从此绝迹泰国的。。。
