i'm back
it's a public holiday and am just sitting around watching the telly and working on the website. totally insignificant and relaxing day.
so what's been up the past few months.. well much of the same-same. trips, yes, there was Kota Kinabalu in November, where i did my Advanced Open Water course. two days of nothing but diving. very syok!
then there was Cameron Highlands in january. that was a delightful three-day getaway and will update with pictures and stories in the next post.
February was kinda slow, but i still managed to abate the salt-water cravings with a quick sunday trip to Port Dickson for some diving (yes it's true). i must say it has some potential but a lot has to be done by the municipal council before any divers take it seriously as a destination. Also, the people's mentality with regards to cleanliness and the environment has much to be desired...
And now it's mid-Feb, and i see a dive trip looming up ahead hehehhe....

brrr... it's another cold morning
here i am watching another jean reno movie called '22 Bullets' or 'L'Immortel' ... happily it's all guns-a-blazing, blood and gore kinda movie. orait wat!
talking about movies... (too bad the 'image' button is missing from blogger today)
i was just reading about the hollywood remake of Let the Right One In, which was a brilliant Swedish movie released in 2008 - this is the kind of movie which deserved an immediate second viewing (and a third, and a fourth...) just to clear up some of the nuances which we don't pick up on the first round.
Brilliant is an understatement here... we even went to the bookstores to get the book but it was all out. Too obscure i suppose, or there are more fans of the movie out there than we expect.
It's the kind of movie that's full of ambiguities, and the ending will leave more questions than the movie ever answers. Simply good stuff.
NOW with the US version, which was shot in Sweden i believe, i am sure they're gonna mess it up even it if was a frame-by-frame remake. Called 'Let Me In' and starring the phenomenal Chloe Moretz (dont we all love her in Kick-Ass), i am sure it will have its merits, but... being a dumbed-down hollywood version for the masses, it will disappoint fans of the original.
the surprises, the twists, the blurred and complex relationships present in the swedish version, just won't sit well with the moral majority...
well we shall wait and see to come up with the final verdict.
a tip - sweden makes some fine movies...
