Aftermath Prelims

Secret War Journal[30 September 2011]
Really apologise for the lack of long posts recently.

Due to the examinations coming nearer with each living breath, I often find myself hard-pressed to even post a short post nowadays.

I guess you people just have to bear with the shorter posts in the meantime. :)
(I know some of you prefer the shorter posts but forgive me when I write abstract topics because I tend to do that for short posts to relay what I cannot express unless I write longer. :)

Well, Prelims just ended a week ago. In case none of you realised, it's been a long time since I wrote about school. It had been duly noted and I would try to write a post-mortem for the examinations, for you and of course, myself.

I figured it would be prefer since the Prelims would be the last major internal school examinations before the real deal. Hahas. It would probably be published next week but keep your fingers crossed, I might have to postpone the publish date if I am unable to type finish my reflections and thoughts. :P

Sometimes, I feel as though I just bought it just to put a face onto the people whom I had grown to loathe.

The veil of falsehood, most of the time amuses me, granted but that does not mean it was not masking my feeling of being irritated.

Seriously, they are just testing my patience.

X-Men: First Class

Secret War Journal[24 September 2011]

Finally watched this movie which was highly recommended by Marcus! :)

Movie Plot Summary:

Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-MEN. Written by Twentieth Century Fox

Movie Trailer



Personally, I think the movie was not bad. The development of the characters to the final climax was, in my opinion, relatively rich compared to other firms. I find that unsurprising because after all, that's the focus of the movie. Hahas!

Still, I sometimes find it difficult to relate to the previous scenes when the scene changes in the movie. It could be because I was somewhat slower in interpretation. Still, it could be just me reading too much and finding phantom links to the previous scenes which adds value to the whole storyline. :)

If you ever watched X-Men before, I strongly recommend to watch this. ^^
