  • Thoughts on The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Supervillains in General


    On 30 April evening, I walked out of the cinema thinking “Man, I grew so tired of superheroes fighting supervillains who are actually nice guys with bad luck.” Brilliant scientists’ experiments gone wrong, some random dudes fall into a tank full of dangerous things, fathers sacrificing themselves for their kids (then turned into monsters), et cetera. So tired. It’s like the same thing repeated over and over again.

    Well, it’s not the writers’ fault. The core of every superhero story is actually alike. But I’m sick of watching them over and over again without a new twist. This is how I feel with the newest installment of Spider-Man. I pity Electro. Though he’s a little bit weird and creepy, but I feel that it isn’t his wish to be a villain, let alone a supervillain. He does like the attention, but he is a nice man on the inside. He’s just been mistreated by Oscorp and in the end, ***SPOILER*** he dies (or explodes, to be exact). Your job is to uphold justice, Spidey; where’s the justice in that?

    Watching The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has made me realise that I prefer superhero movies where the enemies are aliens trying to take over the Earth. It makes a lot more sense (if I could say so?) and in my opinion, killing bad aliens are justifiable.

  • Dreams and Growing Up

    When I was younger, I used to dream about traveling around the world. I dreamt about graduating high school and getting a scholarship abroad. I dreamt about leaving on a jet plane, off into the sunset to the west and starting a new beginning out there.

    Then when I started studying in university, I still dreamt about traveling around the world, but at that time, my dream had changed. I wanted to travel the world alone. My first years in univeristy consisted of tons of teen angst, (I know, I know. It was weird since I was around 19 years old at that time, but perhaps I was a late bloomer because everything was worse at that time than it was in my earlier teenage stage.) and I kept thinking about moving out of my parents’ house to start my own life. I dreamt about leaving this city and travel the world around, hopefully without having to go back at all. Ha! Teen angst!

    Fast forward to three years later and here I am now as a 22 year old young woman. Do I still dream about traveling around the world? Why yes I do, of course I do. But that dream doesn’t seem as sweet as this new dream I have now: to live in peace. In that three year gap, a lot of things have happened; things that have turned my whole life upside down. All I want now is just some peace.

    I understand that it’s never good to give up on your dreams, but I’m sure about one thing: dreams keep shifting along the way. And when you grow up, you should understand and accept the fact that not all dreams are meant to come true. When you can’t make it happen, it doesn’t mean that your life ends. If it is meant to be, it will be.

  • [THOUGHTS] I Take Copyright Seriously

    Okay. I know I’m nobody. I’m just another girl lost in the blogosphere. I’m just a girl trying to be recognised and known by people. But one thing you must bear in mind is: this blog is mine. Thus, all images, writings, contents, even the header, are mine, unless stated otherwise. Please do not steal or use without any permission or any credit to me, the original author. Do you notice the bottom-most part of this blog? Yes, that might be a free copyright, but that is serious. I told you I’m nobody. I’m not a famous lyricist or poet, that is why if you quote my works and place it on your blog/Facebook/Twitter/whatever without mentioning my name as the author, people wold think that they are yours! Please be responsible cause I take it (really) seriously. If you ask for my permission first, I would be glad to let you use them, really!

  • [THOUGHTS] lord knows i should be doing that chapter report

    You miss me. Yes, it’s a statement, not a question, cause I know you do. Don’t be shy, cause I miss you back. I ran out of internet credit yesterday, so I wasn’t able to post anything. So sorry for that.

    On the moment of my comeback, let me announce you that *drumroll* I got that job at HLC. I’m so glad. No more no money, hopefully =]

    Second thing I wanna say is that I’m really deep in love with the fake moustache my sister bought at her school. I wore it to campus yesterday. I got some funny looks and a kid laughing at me. I’m satisfied =D

    Third, I wanna tell you that The Mechanic is a good film. You should watch it. I watched it yesterday with Mr Boyfriend. I really liked it, but I wasn’t sure if he enjoyed the movie as much as I did. Haha…

    Fourth, I got a chapter report assignment for Language in Society. I missed the last class, so I don’t have any idea of how I should do it, but yeah… I gotta do it anyway.

    Alright, so, because I really should be doing that chap-port (or cepot, as I prefer), I guess I’ll see y’all later.

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.

  • [THOUGHTS] the monsters under my bed know me better than you do

    {source}

    Today I realised something. It’s the fact that I never tell you the whole story. I tell you what you want to hear, not what you need to know. I treat you less better than I treat my diary. I tell it everything. My hopes. My fears. My love. My hatred. And because I put it under my bed, I’m sure that the monsters read it. See? They know me better than you do. You never even try to listen to me, so you deserve only one little part of my story.

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.
