Aug 8

• Today is going to be a long day of classes. After that I did an hour of walking. 

• Ordered some mee kolo and fried rice for lunch. Wife and H2 wanted mcdonalds instead. H1 just stayed in the room until th eend 

• Had class in the evening. Thaught a 16 year old and got a 1 STAR review. Got a long email about that lesson but its a coaching rather than a reprimand. So that is okay. Remember to take a nap next time after a meal

• Took a short nap after class and then we had to get ready for the wedding 

• We had to dress in black for the wedding and the wedding is located beside my mom in law house

• We went to the wedding is was grand. It was a rich person wedding. In the entrance everyone got pokemon cards and the girls were so excited. I gave my cards away to them 

• Inside we have cards with our names and it was a sitting wedding which means we are not allowed to leave until the proceedings are done. It was quite a while before we got to eat. The food was amazing. They started us of with Soto Ayam which H1 didn't finish and gave it to me. After that it was rice with 6 types of lauk. Ayam masak merah, rendang daging, sayur lemak, udang (that is an expensive wedding when there is seafood), fish. It ended with a dessert that was fried banana porriage and palm sugar sago. We stayed longer because we were having fun talking to the guest. H2 was enjoying seeing her friend (which has changed a lot). We ended the wedding with fireworks

• Came home and took another shower and went to bed

• Nd was busy taking care of her aunt who is not feeling well. So this week didn't talk to her that much 

Next week I will want to go to the airport to see Nd. I will ask her if I can send her to the airport and then if she says no I will come and see her off. Wife is going to rest for 3 days due to her back. Other than that I have nothing much plan

Karate Kid Legends

This would work better as a TV show

What is it about?
A kid travels from China to New York to start a new life. Gets into a Martial Arts Tournament 

The Good
Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio are the heart of the movie 
The action scene are good 

The Bad
This should be a mini series rather than a movie. Nothing happen until 40 minutes in 
Jackie and Ralph join the movie 30 minutes till the end. Basically what you saw in the trailer thats their whole scene. 

The Ugly
Nothing much 

After Credits: No but there is a cameo at the end

Verdict: Can be avoided if you don't like the series. 

Alien Earth

 Finally we get to see some Aliens 

What is it about? A exploration ship carring the alien xenomorphs crash landed to earth. They are brought to an island where people want to capture it 

Aliens: There are a lot of different types of Alient species. Plus the Xenomorph can be clearly seen in this show will all the bloody action 

Synthetics: The main heroes of the movie. The sysnthetics basically are enhance machines with human brains. The problem is they are kids so they lack the understanding of certain things 

Ending: The show is a bit long winding and dragging. But season 2 is confirmed and there was a big cliffhanger at the end

Spider-Man Brand New Day

The most comic accurate Spider-Man movies

What is it about?

It has been 4 years since everyone forgot about who is Peter Parker and he lives alone being Spider-Man most of the time.

The Good
The most comic accurate movie made. 

This movie is more 70% Spider-Man than Peter Parker

Lots of Marvel cameos. The Hulk, Black Widow and Punisher which is the breakout star of the show 

Sadie Sink is awesome in the movie 

The Bad
Nothing much. It was perfect 

The after credits were an afterthought 
The ending is also left up in the air

The Ugly

Nothing Much

After Credits: Yes, but can be skipped 

Verdict: One of the best Spider-Man movies. A must watch 

Psych Season 3

This show is a feel good show

This season: Every episode there seem to be a focus of a specific theme. Treasure hunting, daredevils, ghost. Its kind a fun that they don't make the same episode twice 

Serious episode: The finale is where Shawn has to find a serial killer and there is an episode where Lassiter was accused of murder. Those were good ones. 

Opening: There is the long intro, a christmas intro and a horror intro where they just show the title with broken glass. 

Ending: Juliet confess that he likes Shawn only the timing is very bad 

Week 31: H1 is 19 already

The Punisher: One Last Kill

Frank Castle is back 

What is it about?
The Punisher wants to end his life but not before he needs to kill everyone that has a bounty on his head 

The Good
This is a staright foward movie. It actually sets up a new series if they ever decide to do it
It is quite short at old 45 minutes. The action is the last 20 minutes 
Very very gory. This is a M rated Marvel movie 

The Bad
Some of the effects looks a bit cheap 

The Ugly 
Nothing much.
I would really like to know how he became friends with Spider-Man

After Credits: No

Verdict: Another Marvel movie in the bag
