UP

Finally, I managed to catch UP.

I was quite impressed but I feel its not on the same level as Wall E. I have actually caught most of PIXAR's works, a bugs life, monster inc, cars, the incredibles, finding nemo, wall e, ratatouille and all of them are good films, even the not so good ones are better than any average animation film you can find.

It amazes me how PIXAR can incorporate some really crazy/far fetch idea into their movies. A clown fish who go a journey to find his son, monsters scaring kids for screams and convert it into electricity, a rat that cooks and a rubbish collecting robot that fell in love.

And in UP, we see how a man change from his old self to his present state and how he ended changing for the better in the end of the movie. We also see how the ups and downs in life can often disrupt one's plans and paths.

The film has pockets of fun and laughs here and there, especially when the energetic, bubbling boy scout, Russell is around.

By the way, there is a short film by PIXAR before the UP starts showing, its pretty good too, so be sure to be early.

Quick catch it before UP floats away.

the reopening

School opens in 2 days time. Somehow sitting in front of the computer and typing this, there is this intense dread about going back to school.

I think the past 3 months have been too shiok. All play and no work. Although I worked as an admin assistant for quite some time during the holidays, the level of intensity just cannot be compared to the same amount of time studying in school.

Learning is hard work, much more when one aims to ace it.

I guess learning will be more fun if one finds his own little joy in the sometimes hard and arduous process of learning.

Meanwhile I think I should try to dig up my organic chemistry textbook and try to recall what I have learn last year.
