Yesterday, I destressed myself from all the heavy studying by going out for another movie called "The Empress and the Warriors". The conversations were all in the Chinese language, with actors and actress from Hong Kong. It was not bad; the soundtracks were original and some of them really fuelled the actions well. The storyline was good, but I wished the movie was longer (It lasted for only an hour and a half).

Revolving around the Yan dynasty, this movie takes a twist by introducing a young princess (played by Kelly Chen; picture) climbing up the throne. Within the walls of this dynasty, a civil war brews, as one army general plans to usurp her throne (which he did anyway, for a short period of time only before he was killed in the hands of the Queen herself). Along the way, she discovered, after meeting an estranged doctor, the sufferings which result from war. Looking at war from a different perspective of view, she sought for peace between the kingdoms (after that thorn-in-the-flesh general died of course).

As simple as it may sound, this movie assumes many other twists, which are quite difficult to put together in words. They are interesting and intriguing, so you should go watch it!

Finally! Normal mode done, and hot for God mode. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my wonderful friends who have painstakingly answered my questions in the forum. When I had problems, there were invariably kind lending hands. You all rock! I feel so happy, so fulfilled. Although the game was rather short, I heart it anyway. The graphics and soundtrack were the most superb I have encountered so far on the PSP. To Ready At Dawn Studios, you are all the coolest producers I have ever seen. Keep those amazing games coming!

Have a wonderful Friday ahead!:D

I am starting to get exasperated with a problem I have playing God of War: Chains of Olympus, on the PSP. It goes like this:

I am at the end of the Jail of Tartarus, and have completed everything. I have rotated one crank which lowered one platform, and rotated two other cranks to lower another platform and form a chain link. The problem is, everytime I jump from the lower to the higher platform, I will plunge into the depths and die. I have received several suggestions, and thus far, none of them worked.

1. Some say, after you double jump from the ground to the lower platform, do not stop and quickly make your second double jump to the higher platform. It failed. I still fell all the way down from the lower platform to the higher platform.

2. Time your jump. It failed. Of course it failed. What do you mean time your jump? I tried all methods possible. I did my first double jump from the ground to the first lower platform (succeeded). I tried running all the way from one end of the small circular platform to the other and quickly double jumped (Failed). I immediately double jumped after my first double jump (Failed). I stood at the end nearest to the higher platform, pushed my analog stick in the correct direction and double jumped (Failed).

3. One suggestion I just received was: Do not wear the gauntlet of Zeus. You cannot jump higher that way. It failed as well.

What is wrong??? Is there something I am missing? I just wanna get out of the Jail of Tartarus and get into Hyperion and into the cave.

Ben Stiller stamps his mark in another movie called "Night at the Museum". I am a fan of Ben Stiller; his acting is simply natural. In this movie, he plays the role of a museum night-guard. During the night, the artifacts in the museum come alive. The antagonists of this movie are the night-guards preceding him who want to steal some previous artifacts. Therein lies the movie's plot development.

One particular funny artifact that continuously tickle me is that with the tagline "Dumb, dumb, I want my gum gum". Besides, there are other interesting pre-historic figures such as Descartes, and the former President of the United States.

This movie is a must for those who are looking for a watcher-friendly movie. The plot is adequately developed, and the characters are plentiful.

Go watch it!

When you fall and think no one can lift you up,

Remember, God can.

When you cry and think no one can hear your cries,

Remember, God can.

When you feel defeated and think no one can give you a reason to live,

Remember, God can.

When you feel hurt and think no one can mend your heart,

Remember, God can.

When you feel lonely and think no one can hold your hands,

Remember, God can.

When you feel down and think no one can give you hope,

Remember, God can.

When you face difficult times and think no one can help you through,

Remember, God can.

All you need to do is say "God, help!", and He would gladly come to your aid.

May you have a blessed day! :D

My anger just alleviated. I took a deep, long sleep, and I am now renewed in mind and heart. If my tutor is going to continue to hold her issues on me covertly, I merely have to do my best and let her determine my results. After all, I cannot change her, and it is the things which I do not do in life which I usually regret later, not the things I actually do. So, I guess doing my best is the most I can make out of the circumstance, and I believe I will not have regrets later on in life. :)

What is up with you guys?

I just returned from my Effective Communication tutorial, disappointed and angry. I obtained a B+ for my previous assignment, and a B for the one preceding it. I was angry because I thought the tutor treated me unfairly. It was all so evident: Whenever we gave feedback in tutorials, the tutor would give me very, very short comments, and others, very lengthy, and usually, positive remarks. I do not mind if she criticizes me, but it is just the brief "Oh, ok" after you convey an idea which not only makes you clueless, but in perpetual successions, gets you annoyed. Compare that to the comments she give to others "Oh, that is great. Can you please repeat it? As you can see, he managed to....", and you can easily notice that a two-word comment is not constructive at all. Until now, I do not know what issue she has with me, or why she does not like me, if that is the case. For my previous assignment, we were required to write a 1000 word thesis. I kept to the word limit, did the best possible out of my capabilities, and still, I only got a B+. One student wrote a 600 word essay, gave very brief elaborations, and guess what, he got an A. Where is the justice? In my essay, I can bet, from the word-slashing and cancellations, she scrutinized every sentence without getting a gist of the essay as a whole. In the others', I could barely see any pencil marks (the assignment was marked in pencil).

At this juncture, I am frustrated. I even seeked help from my Communication Studies lecturer who gladly reviewed my thesis. So, by giving me a B+, without a doubt, she is directly indicating that my Communication Studies lecturer is not competent enough to scratch the A mark. What more can I do now? I have definitely given my sweat and tears into all my assignments, and I am still not getting the A's I believe I deserve.

It is going to take a while before I can start video-blogging at level 10. Within a month here in GameSpot, I am at level 6. I do not know if that is a fast or slow progress. Comments anybody?

How do I level-up at a faster rate?

Hope you have an enjoyable week ahead!

Crisis Core is going to be released soon! I can feel the excitement stirring in me everytime I hear anybody mention "Crisis Core". This is a must-have game! If I do not have it on the PSP, I am sure I am going to regret it. Already counting down the days to its release in Singapore.
