I Am Number Four


Rsnya dh 2 mggu lbh tgk movie ni. Baru ada ms nk tulis blog so baru nk buat review. Xpe la. At least me"review" jgk kn. Hehehe. Biasala. Org busy la katakan (busy la sgt). Sbnrnya hari tu x plan pun nk tgk movie, lgpun hp tgh rosak time tu. Tp berjaya jgk diaorg meyakinkan diri ini utk pg tgk.

Ok la. Tanpa membuang masa. Lets review this movie. Movie ni adaptasi dr sebuah novel dgn tajuk yg sama karya Pittacus Lore. Novel ni telah menjadi novel kanak2 best seller selama 6 mggu dlm The New York Times Best Seller list. To be frank, aku sbnrnya x minat nk baca novel x kira la bahasa atau genre apa sekalipun (even Harry Potter yg org semua tgila-gilakan tu aku x baca 1 buku pun). Tp kalau bab movie mmg aku suka, x pernah miss 1 pun movie Harry Potter (x sabar tggu julai ni. penghabisan). Eh!!!! Apa aku mlalut psl Harry Potter plak ni.

Ok, back to asal. Movie ni mgisahkan ttg kisah anak2 alien yg planet diaorg dah dimusnahkan. So diaorg pun lari ke Bumi. Diaorg ni ada 9 semua nya & msg2 ada power masing2. Plus diaorg ni ada guardian msg2. Ada la musuh diaorg ni alien lain. Diaorg ni tgs diaorg bnh alien ni (x tau sbb apa). 3 org dh dibunuh so skrg turn yg no. 4 plak (diaorg mesti dibunuh ikut turn. hahaha. blh plak mcm tu kn). So, nk tau kisah selanjutnya, kena la tgk sendiri.

So, apa pendapat personal aku psl movie ni. Hmmm. Ok la. Best la jgk. Typical action movie. Lawan2, tembak2, tumbuk2. Ada cinta2 ckit. Sgt typical. Ada rebellion remaja thpd org dewasa. Apa lg ek???? Overall movie ni sgt typical movie remaja. Dh terbiasa & xda elemen baru.

Pengajaran movie ni???? X byk sgt la. Hmmmm. Bg aku fikir jap.... Ok pengajaran yg pertama, hmmmm. Ntah. Xde la.... It's a movie you watch to have fun. Overall aku bg movie ni 3 bintang.....

37thTemasya Olahraga Tahunan (TOT) USM

It has been a while since my last post. Been very busy lately. With what? TOT is one of them. Hihihihi. It's one of the most anticipated event in USM (I think so). And for the first time in my 3 years studying here, I'm part of the organizing committee (1st year I'm a no comer [busy with my citrawarna at that time], 2nd year I'm the spectator).

Overall. The event was a great success. Although there are some troubles at the opening ceremony, some backstabing, kutuk2 belakang and etc, still no big problem happen. Just one mini fight (I'm not sure it is small enough to be called mini but it isn't big enough to be called a big fight) happen between a foreign student and the referee. But it's solved (I think).

Here are some pictures of the event:

Can't wait for it to happen again next year. Hope that it will be better than this year. Till then....
