Mhmmm I'm supposed to go to sleep, but here I am typing yet another entry & listening to more stuff from my "Alternative & Punk" folder lol. Tbh, the stuff I have in there is probably classified wrongly but fck it. As long as I like it. Yeah am pretty guilty of labelling things myself.

Anyway... [Chocolate]. Itz a shame that the dvd my bro lent me only came with chinese subtitles. Blahhh I can barely read chinese so I guess I was simply watching the action w/o understanding the speech. Not that it matters though. Itz an action movie afterall. No words needed when fighting takes place. But itz kinda annoying that I actually understood the parts in Japanese better than the Thai parts with subs.

Mehhh am a failed Chinese. Can't even read my mother tongue properly (even when I watch anime with chinese subs I actually spend more time listening to the dialogue than reading the subs - pretty pathetic ehz?).

Friends have told me that the star of the movie, Yanin Vismistananda (Jeeja), is the female version of Tony Jaa. After watching it, she reminds me more of Jacky Chan instead. Her moves, though impressive, lack the raw power that comes with Tony Jaa's fight scenes. Looks too choeographed imo - much like the stunts in Jacky Chan's films. Doesn't mean that I ain't impressed. Martial arts have always impressed me, though I never had the determination (and energy) to actually take up one myself.

Anyway, I managed to catch [Ong Bak 2] on Sat. Can't wait for the nxt part to come out.

As expected, it consists of loads of really cool fight scenes. I wonder how the hell Tony Jaa manages to move the way he does. His fight style seems kinda deadly though - itz like alot of bone-breaking, throat crunching... haha yah perhaps those aren't the right words but heyz, itz 7:40am. The sun is up and I'm entering hibernation-mode soon, so there. Speaking of martial arts, I've always thought of taking up Thai boxing. But considering that it'll take tons of energy & hours, I nvr actually went ahead. Besides, if I actually did go ahead, think I'll end up with alot of broken bones. Bad idea *shudder*.

Another martial arts movie that I've watched recently is [Ip Man]. omg Hiroyuki Ikeuchi is so darn good looking in the film - look @ those gorgeous eyes manz (and that bad boy look). Further random surfing revealed why I found him so familliar. He was playing a student in the drama, [Great Teacher Onizuka] and yeah I had the same /drool reaction when saw him in that too. Bahhh, now that sounds just bimbotic. Wonderful, just the tag I like hanging ard my neck =.=

Starring Donnie Yen, another powerhouse in terms of martial arts films, itz about the life of Ip Man (duh) aka Bruce Lee's master. Before this, I never even heard of Wing Chun before - wtf lah, I don't even know much about the different types of chinese martial arts. The "common" martial arts avaliable in Singapore are like Taekwondo, Karate & Judo. Thatz about all I've been exposed to. That simply means I've seen ppl practice it, not that I've done it myself. My dad does karate & judo so yeah I've pretty much seen how it works. Ah well... anyhow I briefly read about Wing Chun on wikipedia and the supposedly origins are pretty interesting.

Developed by a woman, practiced by peeps of both gender. Mhmmm I wonder if thatz true. Considering the role of women in the old-chinese society, it seems pretty unlikely that the common folk will give a woman recognition, much less embrace whatever she has created. Then again, itz legend.

The end. Abrupt it is, I can't type further. The bed beckons.
