You are Neo, from "The Matrix." You
display a perfect fusion of heroism and
compassion.
What Matrix Persona Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
Sigh, so common.
Extremely depressed now. Hmm, never went online for an amazing 22 hours. Remarkable for a geek like me. Read other ppl's blogs, apparently went to Choral night at NY. Sigh, I mean, this is my personal view la, nobody invite you, then dun go. One of my personal rules. Nobody invite you to his house, dun go. Nobody invite you to some big event, dun go. Even if somebody's friends who got invited, ask you to tag along, dun go.
Read joph's blog. Gigi never meant to copy Sun Yan Zi one lah. I mean, MOST singers DUN write their own songs wad, there's so lots of songwriters to help them write. So nowadays ah, anybody could be a singer la, eg SHE, find 3 gals, get some good songwriters, wa-lah, you got a $0.5 million enterprise. So, Gigi's boss maybe purposely take this dumb Sun Yan Zi's song's tune and just gave her the lyrics and asked her to sing. That's one of the reasons I am depressed with this world. Pathetic as the world can be, they said depression is NATURAL and TREATABLE. To me, it's a load of BS. Depression occurs coz of this pathetic cancerous society and the bleak future we shared.
Now listening to the techno songs on the new 1990-2003 dance party songs. Then switching to Coldplay. Yeah, nobody liked Coldplay. Nobody appreaciate REAL music anymore. Music is a language to me, and some people are just treating music as a SLANG, or just following the hype. Dammit. You know, those kinda ppl who only listened to pop songs. No better are those who CLAIMED they also listened to classics ONLY besides pop songs. Yeah, the classics they meant are probably like modern adult alternatives, eg Josh Groban. I didn't say I'm against them alh, I am SUPPORTING them, in fact, but those people are not doing enough. Modern songs only? BAHHHHHHHH!
Holiday days are so boring. It's Nov 8 now. I've wasted my time. The day started off badly. Dreamt a lot lately. I don't dream usually. When I dreamt, it's usually bad nightmares. I dreamt of someone close to me dying. Sigh. Signing off.

Just running through IMDB (look in one my fav places), and I saw this POSSIBLE spoilers of Matrix Revolutions. Do not read this if you are a die-hard Matrix fan and you dunwan me to spoil it for ya. Proceed with caution. Here goes:
revos opens exactly where reloaded ended, with neo and bane hooked to the monitors, while the other members try to determine exactly what happened with the emp. the sentinels, meanwhile, are still digging toward zion.
neo wakes up in the train station at mobil avenue. he meets the rama kandra, the indian man he saw at mero's restaurant in reloaded. with rama are his wife and his daughter. the three of them explain that the train station is a level between the matrix and the real world. it is used to move people or things from one world to another. the train is run by the trainman, who is controlled by the merovingian. rama explains that his daughter is going away. him and his wife love her so much they are sending her away, in order to save her.
neo attempts to board w/ rama's family, but fights with the trainman, who leaves him in the station until mero decides otherwise. the oracle calls and requests morpheus and trin visit her immediately. they do so, and she explains her shell was sold, but she managed to find another one. she tells them they have to see mero to get neo back and seraph will lead them.
mero is at an s&m club, called club hell. two bodyguards outside fight trin, morph and seraph, who kill them for entrance to the club. at the coat check area are 5 of mero's henchmen, all of whom they kill. mero offers neo in exchange for the oracle's eyes. trin tells him she doesn't have time for this bs, and engages a little fight with the henchmen in the vip area. trin holds a gun to mero's forehead, which prompts his henchmen to surround the 3 rebels with loaded guns. trin says she has a different deal: mero gives up neo, or they all die there tonight. he reluctantly agrees to do so, and neo is shortly boarded on a train.
once in the matrix, he sees the oracle, saying it will be his last chance to do so. when he is there, he sees sati (rama's daughter) who is helping the oracle bake cookies. the oracle gives neo the lines from the trailer about seeing darkness spreading. she also tells neo the power of the one extends on all levels, explainng why he could stop sentinels in the real world. the oracle also says archie's job is to balance the equation, but hers is to unbalance it. neo leaves, then smith and several duplicates arrive. the oracle says he's a bastard, to which he responds, "you should know, mom." she then tells him to do what he came for, and he copies himself onto her, then laughs maniacially, which is seen is the trailer.
meanwhile, back on the hammer, they are trying to make bane remember what happened regarding the emp. he insists he can't remember, but later confesses to the nurse that he did it. he then kills her. about the same time, the crew find the logos, with niobe and ghost still aboard. they give it a jump, then neo and trin take it to zero-one, the machine city.
unbeknownst to them, bane has slipped onboard and attempts to kill trinity. neo comes to her rescue and fights bane. bane blinds him with some sort of laser/light gun. he can see bane even tho he's blind, and kills him. trin flies the logos to zero-one, and dies upon landing.
the sentinels are still digging at zion and begin to break the surface. once the roof is cracked, sentinels flood the place. the rebels put up a valiant effort, but are seemingly overtaken, until the logos arrives. once inside, niobe triggers the emp, which eliminates the sentinels. a lot of the residents celebrate, but the leader is upset bc now zion is defenseless.
switch back to zero-one. neo meets with the deux et machina, the leader. he is absolutely absurd in how they made the character look. he is a huge ball with spikes coming out of three sides. in the free space is a face. it makes the wizard of oz look downright scary. neo tells him smith is more powerful than all of the machines, and will take over everything, but neo knows he can stop him. deux jacks him in right there and neo arrives on the raining street where thousands of smiths are waiting.
in zion, there is more fighting. the sentinels have come back and are stronger this time. neo, meanwhile, fights smith in the rain and inside one of the buildings. a lot of the fighting is done mid-air and is absolutely ridiculous. in the end, smith overtakes neo, except it is'nt like normal. neo's smith fills with light and breaks open the shell, exploding into light. the real smith and thousands of duplicates follow a similar pattern. in zion, the sentinels flee.
back in the real world, it is a beautiful sunny day. archie talks with the oracle for a minute, then seraph and sati arrive. sati says she made a beautiful sky for neo and hopes she'll see him again soon. the oracle says she agrees.
that's it folks. no twins. no cool ending, no kid becoming the next archie. persephone looks hot, but only gets one line. overall it's very disappointing. sorry to share the bad news.
So what you think about it? I think it's pretty accurate. But if it's a FAKE, then aiya, I talked crap then you all can kick the helluva me. Till then, it's 23h 35min to go to world premiere. Nobody expressed interest in going late at 10pm. **** you all. Probably goin on Thurs or on Nov 15 when we do finish Flag Day stuff.

Okay, nowadays I'm listening to oldies and classics. Put a good one for you guys to enjoy and appreciate music.
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD
(Lyrics by George Weiss / Bob Thiele)
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Oh yeah
Pretty good classic eh? Take the red pill and I'll take you further down the white rabbit hole. Meanwhile, I need to confirm who is INTERESTED in going to Jurong Entertainment Centre 5 Nov 9pm for Matrix Revolution world premiere. Please state your opinion about this in comments or shoutbox. Many thanks.
