yesterday...watched initial D movie plus got myself a new bag...YEA!!!!

initial D wasnt exactly up there in drift performance, cinematics and cast as compared to the anime series. the movie was also VERY VERY packed. there are altogether 4 stages(4 seasons) in the anime series. the movie, nicely packed all the 4 stages into a 2hr screentime. WOW!!! gotta give credits for the storyboard pple. THUMBS Up.

there were of course lots of parts that differ from the anime series. so many that i also lazy to point out. but i guess the change was for the increase entertainment value of the movie, so i guess you can call it a unique feature. the most disappointing change was Ryo's car. wasnt it suppose to be a mazda RX-7? Edison didnt pull it off as a takashi. not that i am trying to be mean, but its jus that he didnt have that height that i thot he might have. furthermore, he looked too boy-ish to play that cool level-headed leader and strategist of Project D.

oh jus to rebutt all those who remarked about jay's acting. i am not exactly a jay fan. jus appreciate all the lyrics in his songs, so in fact i am more of a fan of Fang Wen San(方文山). personally, i think jay did quite well.

firstly, takumi was pretty much expressionless. secondly, so was jay. thirdly, i think he protrayed the character really well. its like pro antique dealers, listening to those antique amatuer talk about antique. advice:please watch the anime series or at least read the comics(not so recommending it). jay could actually bring out the subtle feelings of takumi. i guess i was being again too observant at the movies again...:)

overall, that movie gives a rough intro into the initial D world. dun take everything you see on the big screen though. not all the parts are true to the anime series, some truncated and some edited. whats true? that they race every other epsiode without havin to worrying about their day jobs. nice fanatasy eh?

i went to westmall to catch initial D movie. not exactly a gathering that i had wished but thanks for showin up :) there were jiarong(guy). although the name jiarong sounds like a girl's name, he is far from being ger-ger. dreams of fast car, swirl around traffic, blasts wkrz music, partying all nites in Australia despite of 10 assignment in 3 days? O. K. movin along.

he jus came back from Australia for holidays. goin to grad at around 2008. translation:more of the good life at Australia till 2008. with SUPER cheap liquor, he is bascially gulping down VODKA. that is so UNFAIR...wats goin to happen to wholesome and healthy water!!?!?...ok maybe i am jus jealous. :p he joined us for dinner, as he is very much needed at his younger sister's birthday party.

then there were others who turned up. Derrick Oon(pronounced as wound) leslie benson and qun xiang. pathetic numbers if i do say. BUT, fun is not dependent on the number of pple...thank god.

leslie was goin watching another movie on the same day. movie marathon? nope. haha...(censored by -kaze.blogspot.com;reason : (none))hahaha....

kk...the LiNG progess report card.
LiNG shld be out in manufacturing at around 8 July. fabricating the PCB by July 15. if not, please give me all you got(and i mean thrasing not your money). oh...i think i forgot to mention that LiNG is actually a twin. because both the auto and r/c sumo competition might be held at the same time. as LiNG might had a prob doin a 'split', so we might be giving birth to 2.

hehe...one is for r/c(remote control). that child will be under custody of weichien. and the other child(automated) will be naturally under my custody. hahahaha...muhahahaha

recently, i have been havin certain irregular spasms of anger. hmmm...consulting the 5 elements, this anger fits might last a few months(summer season). the summer season, in element of fire. personally, i am in the day element of water, plentiful of metal covered in ground. presence of fire, and lacking wood. all the anger is 'buring' away all the wood(intelligence). haiz...anyhow...have to be more careful(this is a warning meant for all)
