Kung Fu Books

Have you guys watch Kung Fu Hustle by Steven Chow? Remember the scene where an old man asked a kid to buy the Kung Fu book? Let me recap with some snapshots from the end of the movie:

The old man says to the kid, "Kid, you have the bone structure a kung-fu genius. World peace is in your hands. Here's the scroll of the Buddhist Palm."

The kid was not interested in that book so he showed some other books to the kid.

When i was at Singapore Chinatown, an old man spoke the same thing to me. So i trusted him, and i bought 5 Kung Fu Books. Left to right (hope i translated it correctly haha..)

"Lance Slight"

"Lonely Nine Swords"

"Turning bones into cotton fists?"

"Tathagata Buddha's Plam" *This is the book with exactly the same title as that from the Kung Fu Hustle movie.

"42 Page Scripts"

When i reached home and try to learn the first chapter, i noticed that the book was just blank pages?!

Please don't believe what i said just now, haha.. actually it is a note book with just the cover made to look like an old style kung fu book. I bought it as souvenir gifts for my colleagues. Edited by Sylvia.

Avatar Special Edition - 3D Release Only

I didn't plan on watching any movies during my vacation in Singapore. However, the massive amount of adverts on the movie "Resident Evil: After Life in 3D" kind of changed my mind. Since we had the time and the cinemas in Brunei doesn't have the 3D equipment yet, we decided to try it. However, since the movie was only to be released close to my departure date, we watched another movie instead.

We chose the movie that was currently playing which was Avatar Special Edition. What was special was that it had some extended scenes which was never seen before in the original film.

After watching the movie, I think I prefer this Special Edition version as those additional scenes explained the story better. If you remember the part where Jack Sully made some animals mad, there is an additional scene regarding the school.

In terms of the "3D" experience (wearing 3D glasses), I prefer the non-3D version. I didn't really feel that there was any difference. In fact, sometimes the motion was too fast that it's hard to catch and I feel like it spoils the movie. Another minus is that my eyes feel very tired after watching it. Maybe I haven't got used to it. Well, hopefully the cinemas in Brunei are ordering the 3D equipment soon. I won't mind to try it again. Edited by Sylvia.
