LETTERS FROM THE LIVING

Sunday, August 05, 2007

Oh man! It’s been almost a full month since I last blogged (common disease spreading amongst busy bloggers I guess). Haha… Actually living out my last month of holidays to the fullest! Been spending QUALITY time with family and meeting many friends (still have some I din managed to catch up with tho’), hitting the gym, blowing my PS2 to smithereens after completing Resident Evil 4 (twice) and getting hooked to the latest installment of Guitar Hero! Spiritually, I also experienced a massive breakthrough! Thank God for His timely message and conviction! I’ve also got a busy schedule ahead serving in the ministry besides my cell. However, I found myself neglecting a wee bit abt school starting and realized I haven’t really planned my own schedule for lessons, FYP and even printing notes!! I better get my study ass moving man… :P
The following is an overdue post about Transformers!

The official Transformers movie was indeed an awesome show! Perhaps my expectations were lowered before I actually stepped into the cinema due the unflattering reviews I hear and read, but I was thoroughly entertained. Gone was the child-like excitement when the machines come to life, as I was soon replaced by the marvel of how technology has brought an all-time favourite cartoon to life. The top-notch effects aside, the humour (sometimes innuendo-filled) that plastered the wispy thin storyline deserve credit to make the movie more relevant to the new generation audience. I even paralleled the final battle scene (rather slip-shod but truly touching!) between Prime and Megatron to that of the fight between God and Satan – while I am simply the indispensable Sam to bring the story in a full circle! Haha… I’m thinking too much.

The inner child in me wanted the Transformers merchandise very badly, but the cruel adult in me reminded me of my bank account. I fought with the temptation for almost 3 weeks before I relented to the (trans)former and bought the Japanese version of Bumblebee. I was rather stoked that I wasn’t resolute enough to just get the Camaro’08 one when it first appeared on the market. My bad. After more consideration or rather temptation, I also laid my hands on Autobot Jazz and Decepticon Barricade! The adult me was quite ashamed of splurging, but the kid in me was reeling away in happy oblivion!! Here are shots of my proud collection!

Here's an amazing vid of die-hard Transformers fans being Human Transformers. It's rad!!

Rayzor's Rock-amendation:
Both songs were featured on the Transformers soundtrack and I quite like both songs! Nice vids to recapture parts of the awesome film!
