that's a wrap

yes this is an update of my life.

okay, not really an update but more like a summary. last day of the year 2016, a year in my opinion that is definitely one of the least favourite years. yeah there were ups and downs. the ups were higher than past ups. the downs were lower than past downs. however, i found that there were slightly more downs to tip the scale of 2016 being kind of bad.

nonetheless, regardless of the time that has past, i am thankful 2016 is coming to an end. good and bad points of view. being positive, there have been more lessons that i have learned throughout the course of twelve months. being negative, a shit year is about to end.

let's stay positive for the sake of stepping into the new year with a positive mentality then. i am so thankful for the opportunities chanced upon. while i did not capitalise on all 100% of them, i am glad that for those that i did, i did it well and made the most out of them. people are always a tricky aspect of everyone's lives to handle. time is a good teller of who deserves to stay in close contact and those who are rotten and have to be dumped. harsh? well no, if you know me well, i don't give up on people that easily. so yeah, those rotten ones are rotten to a point of no return.

well, i guess that's a wrap. the next time you'll be hearing from me will be in 2017. here's wishing you happy holidays and a pleasant start to the new year. until next time then, cheers.

last broken promise

yes this is an update of my life.

i rarely watch movies in cinemas. even if i do, i usually watch around once per month. so this month is one of those super rare months where i actually watch two movies over the span of 31 days. shall review a little on the both of them.

the first movie i watched this month was "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". i am a small fan of the Harry Potter universe so my review might be slightly bias. overall, the movie is a really good one. personally, i did not read the book so i had to strain my ears and pay close attention to details. i felt that the introduction of the movie could have been better.. you know those newspaper clippings and short scene highlighting the great villain. otherwise, the plot is good with nice humour in between. little easter eggs here and there. if i had the chance, i would probably watch it again. definitely worth watching.

the next movie i watched was "Assassin's Creed". i have never ever played the game before so i went in to watch almost clueless about the plot. i felt that the storyline's good though there are quite a few parts where the pace was too slow or awkward. action wise i think this movie managed to entertain me with the fight scenes and cool actions or stunts. like i said, i never played the game before, so i am not sure how good the adaption is but for a first-timer to this, i would say i am impressed by the story.

moving on, i have to break one last promise of 2016. kind of said i would post my journal of Taiwan trip before 2017 hits us but i guess i shall post first thing in 2017. don't want to rush through it and what not. currently busy with planning timetable and bidding. those same old shit again. until next time then, cheers.
