Bodyguards and Assassins ...

Hello ...
First let me just admit right off the bat that ...
I'm not a fan of Hong Kong cinema ...
I can't handle guys with white beards fighting on top of trees ...
Nor can I handle the "Master" teaching how to run on water ...
But a friend passed me this movie with confidence ...
Saying thats it one of the best movies to come out recently ...
The movie is called Body Guards and Assassins ...
It stars an ensemble cast ... lotsa good talent here ...
I dunno many HK or Chinese actors ...
But the some names were familiar to me from my days in KL ...
The plot is not that original ... but it works wonders ...

Exiled Chinese revolutionary Sun Yat-sen ...
Is returning to the British colony ...
To meet with alliance leaders to plan an insurrection ...
Against the Qing imperial government ...
Qing send out officials to assassinate Sun Yat-sen ...
But activist gather bodyguards to protect Yat-sen ...

Character development was good for the twists to come later ...
The choreography was really good ... I mean seriously good ...
The sets were impressive to say the least ...
Did a very good job of recreating Hong Kong in the 1900s ...
It a political thriller rather than a martial arts mash up ...
But gets bloody and vicious when it needs to be ...
Its a good dramatic film and invokes good emotions ...
Overall ... an awesome movie ... highly recommended ...
No wonder it won a few awards and got nominated for so many ...
In the latest Asian Film Awards ...

Waking the dead: Reviving this blog ...

Hello ...
Well ... I'm back ... you thought you lost me eh ??? Hehe ...
I know its been a long time since I blogged ...
I've neglected this blog for long ... it needs a fresh start ...
What can I say ... Its not like I've been busy or anything ...
It just blogging has not been a priority for me ...
I just didn't feel like writing ... it takes an effort ...
I just didn't feel the need to share ... but there was twitter ...
But now I'm back ... I feel guilty for procrastinating ...
Yet I feel inspired again ... or thats what I think ...
This time ... like every other time I've said this before ...
I'm going to blog again ... and in a regular fashion ...
Thats about it for now ...

Save your docs and stuff ... cloud style ...

Hello ...
I've this tendency to save my docs/PDFs online ...
I do this coz I wanna have access where ever I may be ...
You never know when you might need a copy of your ID card ...
Or a copy of your passport for that matter ... hehe ...
I used to save my stuff in Yahoo! Briefcase since 2000 ...
But some how ... I missed their (multiple) announcements ...
And around mid this year ... I lost all my stuff with them ...
That was a major bummer ... but luckily I had backups ...
I had copies of everything important ... that was a life saver ...
Since then ... I've been looking around for a new service ...
I settle on not one but two services ... you know just in case ...
One is Upload Robots ... a fairly new service on the market ...
They offer 4GB of storage free ... more if you go pro ...
I like their site ... really like the user interface ...
I also mirrored everything to my apple dot mac account ...
A paid service ... expensive ... but easy to use with my OS ...
They rebranded the service recently... its now known as dot me ...
Guess with my stuff on two separate services ...
The possibility of loosing it will be kept minimum ... hehe ...
What service(s) do you guys use to save/store your stuff ???
Lemme know ...
Laterx ...
