The Bourne Identity, Supremacy and Ultimatum is one of the best if not THE BEST trilogy I have ever seen, it has taken over Lord Of The Rings (from my point of view).

The story line is fantastic, the action is excellent, the ending is good (for Ultimatum) and definitely no CG is used in any of the 3 films.

It is a MUST watch trilogy.

881 is no doubt one of the best local production ever been made. Royston Tan has yet done it again right after 15 and 4:30. At this age, I think he has already surpass Jack Neo.

One thing I like about Royston’s movies is that they are always very unique and portray a different side of Singapore and some of the actors and actress he used in the movie are not actors and actress by nature, instead they are doing it as a profession.

Take 881 for example, where it is a Getai (Chinese 7th month stage show), some the actors and actress in the movies are professional getai singers.

Take 15 for example, where it is a Singapore gangster movie, the actors in it are all real gangsters in real life.

On the other hand, Jack Neo’s movies are all getting to be very stagnant and always uses the same actors and actress all over again. I think it is time for him to think out of the box.

By the way, the 881 OST is kinda below my expectations. Many of the movie songs are not inside as the singers (明 珠 姐 妹 Ming Zhu Sisters) behind those songs sang during the movie is coming out with an album of their own, so buy the OST at your own risk.

From the very Beginning, Gal’s family objected strongly on her dating this guy. Saying that it has got to do with family background, & that the gal will have to suffer for the rest of her life if she were to be with him. Due to family’s pressure, the couple quarrelled very often. Though the gal love the guy deeply, but she always ask him: “How deep is your love for me?” As the guy is not good with his words, this often cause the gal to be very upset. With that & the family’s pressure, the gal often vent her anger on him. As for him, he only endured it in silence.

After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated & decided to further his studies overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to the gal: “I’m not very good with words. But all I know is that I love you. If you allow me, I will take care of you for the rest of my life. As for your family, I’ll try my best to talk them round. Will you marry me?” The gal agreed, & with the guy’s determination, the family finally gave in & agreed to let them get married. So before he leave, they got engaged. The gal went out to the working society, whereas the guy was overseas, continuing his studies. They sent their love through emails & phone calls. Though it’s hard, but both never thought of giving up.

One day, while the gal was on her way to work, she was knocked down by a car that lost control. When she woke up, she saw her parents beside her bed. She realised that she was badly injured. Seeing her mum crying, she wanted to comfort her. But she realized that all that could come out of her mouth was just a sigh. she has lost her voice.. The doctors says that the impact that had on her brain has caused her to loss her voice. Listening to her parents’ comfort, but with nothing coming out from her, she broke down.

During the stay in hospital, besides silence cry.. it’s still just silence cry that accompanied her. Upon reaching home, everything seems to be the same. Except for the ringing tone of the phone, which pierced into her heart every time it rang. She does not wish to let the guy know. & not wanting to be a burden to him, she wrote a letter to him saying that she does not wish to wait any longer. With that, she sent the ring back to him. In return, the guy sent millions & millions of reply, countless of phone calls.. all the gal could do, besides crying, is still crying…. The parents decided to move away, hoping that she could eventually forget everything & be happy.

With a new environment, the gal learn sign language & started a new life. Telling herself everyday that she must forget the guy. One day, her friend came & told her that he’s back. She asked her friend not to let him know what happened to her. Since then, there wasn’t anymore news of him.

A year has passed & her friend came with an envelope, containing a invitation card for the guy’s wedding. The gal was shattered. When she open the letter, she saw her name in it instead. When she was about to ask her friend what’s going on, she saw the guy standing in front of her. He used sign language telling her “I’ve spent a year’s time to learn sign language. Just to let you know that I’ve not forgotten our promise. “Let me have the chance to be your voice. I Love You.” With that, he slipped the ring back into her finger. The gal finally smiled.

Court Order: Starhub Must Give Names Of Illegal Anime Downloaders

By Chua Hian Hou

The Singapore distributor of Japanese animated cartoons called anime has won the right to track down fans who download the programmes illegally using Starhub internet accounts.

A subordinate court has ordered the Telco to disclose the identity of about 1,000 of its subscribers accused of illegally downloading anime.

It is believed to be one of the largest crackdowns illegal Internet downloading by home users in Singapore.

The recent hearing was held in closed chamber session, so few details of the case are available publicly. The action was taken by local anime distributor ODEX.

Starhub had initially resisted the companys efforts to get its customer data, said a spokesman for Telco, as it had “an obligation to protect our customer’ information”. But it now has no choice but to comply with the court order, as ODEX had œsatisfied the court of its need for the information.

Once ODEX obtains the identities of these Internet users from Starhub , it is expected to write to them demanding a settlement of up to $5,000 and a promise to stop further illegal downloading.

In May, ODEX went after 17 Singnet subscribers after obtaining a similar court order. It then sent more letters to an undisclosed number of other Singnet subscribers also accused of illegally downloading anime.

Odex Director Peter GO said a few infringers with financial difficulties were allowed to settle for about $1000. He added that a number of those who had received the letter had engaged lawyers, BUT DID NOT CONTEST ODEX’S CASE.

Having suceeded in getting SingNet and Starhub customer lists, ODEX will now go after customers of another internet service provider, Pacific Internet, in the subordinate courts later this week. It is understood ODEX has accused about 1,000 PacNet users of illegal downloading.

PacNet spokeman Bernard Ho, said the firm was “resisting the application” made by ODEX in court.

However, lawyers familiar with such applications say they have STRONG track record of sucess. But infromation obtained this way is not always useful to the plaintiff. For instance, the user may no longer be in the country.

Popular with both children and adults, the anime industry was worth as much as US$5 Billion ($7.5billion) world wide according to 2004 Business Week report. However, illegal downloads, available online since the late 1990s, have cut deeply into the profits of producers and distributers.

Mr Peter GO said the South Korean anime market, once the world’s second largest after Japan, collapsed several years ago due to piracy problems.

This prompted Japanese studios making anime to band together to mount the crackdown here as they were worried Singapore, although not big a market, would end up the same way.

A 23 year old anime fan acknowledged that there some truth to Mr GO’S words. “At my peak a while ago, I used to download 5 to 10 gigabytes of anime a week, ” said the undergraduate, who declined to be named. Now, he is resigned that his past will catch up with him.

The new Nokia Prism collection: progressive design cut with personalized style
Espoo, Finland – Nokia tunes into the cultural zeitgeist with its modernist collection of fashion-alert mobile phones. The Nokia 7900 Prism and Nokia 7500 Prism with their sophisticatedly glamorous high gloss black faades reflect an independent attitude, which looks firmly to the future. Provocatively
alluring to both sexes, the Nokia Prism range also leaps past conventional design in its ode-toarchitecture sharp angled lines and graphic light-refracting color.

Standing out as opposed to slotting into the mobile phone milieu, the Prism collection artfully plays with juxtaposition: matt meets shine; light plays of dark; color and cool steel spliced black, and sharp lines
finish in softly bevelled edges.

Asymmetry and geometric lines are Nokia Prism’s main design vein, which is reflected in the unique diamond-cut raised key-mat. Inspired by progressive architectural feats such as the Munich Stadium, the
Bank of China and Prada’s store in Japan, this 3-D textural key-mat is as visually appealing as an archly modern Sir Norman Foster building or Chanel’s iconic quilting.

A collage of design-driven cultural reference points entailing: 1950s rebellion; 70s punk; 80s graphics led album cover artwork and Deconstructivism“ Prism phones are concept-driven design objects cut with an individualist edge. Bringing these trends right up to date Prism’s haute-sheen finish taps into
current fashion leanings as big hitter names (Burberry Prorsum; Dior; Lanvin and Chanel) parade a stream of high-shine accessories.

Nokia 7900 Prism

Nokia 7900 Prism
The aesthete’s dream device; the Nokia 7900 Prism juxtaposes its sleek liquorice-black face with a cool anodised aluminium reverse-side, which is intricately coin-stamped and laser-etched in Nokia Prism’s signature diamond-cut design. This linear strictness spills over into a ground-breaking Organic LED light display that emits light-focused graphics. Akin to an abstract artwork, the living wallpaper subtly alters throughout the day according to time as well as battery and signal strength, so that each screen is unique.

To drive home this individualist edge, the Nokia 7900 Prism with 3G capabilities has a gallery choice of 49 illumination colors. Once selected, this color radiates from under the graphic key-mat as well as from the LED display. It also pierces the top of the phone and when the device is switched off in “full-go black” mode this colored slab pulses to signal missed calls and messages.

Nokia 7500 Prism

Nokia 7500 Prism
The Nokia 7500 Prism is the Nokia 7900 Prism’s quirky sibling. The Nokia 7500 Prism’s unquestionably cool slick black exterior is spliced with a playful burst of bright accent color. This strobe-light-like band nods to the burgeoning neon lights of contemporary urban club culture and is interchangeable in a trio choice of punchy colors. The Nokia 7500 Prism has a 2 Mpxl camera with flash; it can record high quality movies and play music for nine hours.

Archly sharp in its design execution the Nokia Prism collection also heralds facilitation including: easily changeable music interfaces and a side-situated camera button that makes light work of picture taking.
