for those who haven watched kaiji yet but are intending to, spoilers ahead! x.x
i was expecting it to be the story of a gambler, winning money in the casino or something in all the different types of games. but it turned out to be entirely different. it was only at the end of the movie that i realised the main point of the show was on japan's credit card debts.
kaiji was scammed into boarding a ship, a place where he was told he can change his life if he won. to be frank, i din expect him to be cheated by the other guy (cant even remember his name LOL) but that just shows how naive i was. good for him that in the end he found the other simple guy who cooperated with him. unfortunately for both of them, the other guy had one more card left which he overlooked and sadly this was to be a major turning point in both their lives.
to us, the audience, everything underground looked so clear. we wonder why the characters inside dun see it the same way we do. but try putting ourselves in the same postion, and i'm not sure that we wont do the same too. no wonder it was called the brave men's road cos it really required courage.
it required massive amount of luck and courage to finish walking across that bridge. a line in the movie really touched me "he fell down silently, (his name, i forgot), the coward, actually fell down without making a sound. he fell down without making a sound so that i wont panick". another guy, sahara-san. that one was just pure unlucky...and partly fate too that he wont make it. he finished walking across, only to fail at the last part...
i really wonder how he can still remain so calm after seeing 9 of his friends fall down one by one. the ways ppl always try to screw one another over...tells u alot about human nature. but then, there are also unexpected pleasant twists that make u think "hm, maybe we shouldnt end in 2012".
the final E-card game was exciting, though i was wondering all the while how he was going to make a come-back until the last round. it was so obvious that he did not change the cards, but only wanted to make the bad guy think so. do u seriously think he would have let u seen it if he really intended to swop the cards? =/ anyway, the one with the simple mind would win simply cos he did not bother to scheme and plot the other's downfall.
personally feel that the ending was lousy though, even though it fits in with the entire theme. HOW CAN THAT WOMAN DO THAT!! no wonder she's still single at 39 HAHAHA. :x
all in all, not what i expected but definitely not as bad as some of the reviews made it sound. xDDDD

u think reading someone's private msn chat logs is funny? someone who trusted u enough to let u use her laptop without "supervising" u? perhaps that was my mistake, trusting someone i dun know well too much. dun worry, it wont happen again.
and to think i thought it was over, i din realise the extent to which u read. everyone's and everything isnt it? using whatever u saw as evidence for some crime i supposedly commited? even if i did, what right do u have to condemn me? and mind u, they were meant to be PRIVATE chatlogs. not that u understand the meaning of that word anyway. for u, anything about u is private. anything other than that, others' privacy, all are not private.
this would be the last time i ever trusted someone blindly.

clarified some of my doubts with the owner already (if u dun know what i'm talking about refer to the previous post) and he said that there's a package that includes meal/dessert/popcorn/drinks and console/board games! meaning that u can switch between playing console games and board games. it's $19 per person for 2 hours of gaming, includes 1 main course, free flow of drinks and popcorn, and also dessert! xD extension would be at $4.50 per hour per person, do let me know how many of u would be free on that day so that i can make reservations for the vip room okay! :D (if u think it's too ex then u can take the other packages which do not include meal, or which only allows u console or board gaming xD)
i've came up with a full birthday plan when just last night i din have a clue at all! xD
meeting @ anytime from 12-1 (depends on eating lunch or not)
2pm-6pm: go this place called The Hangout for console/board games. it's near dhoby/cathay.

可以遇到一个你喜欢,而他也喜欢你的人真的不容易,一旦找到了就不要轻易的放开手。看过身边朋友的经历,发现实在不应该为了一些争吵就放弃。
人的一生中有很多无可奈何的事,不管你多么想去改变,不管你多么希望重来,不管你要的是什么,都无法确定能够得到。
有一些看起来很理所当然的事或人,也许突然间就消失了。
现在才知道原来强颜欢笑这么难,明明心里不好受,却还要像一个傻瓜一样的笑,只为了不想让人为难。。。
好奇怪,好像走到哪里都会突然看的你的影子,然后自然反应就是躲开。
喜欢一个人不需要理由,更不会是因为一些所谓的暗示。

突然发现站了好久
不知道要往哪走
还不想回家的我
再多人陪只会更寂寞
许多话题关于我
就连我也有听过
我的快乐要被认可
委屈却没有人诉说
夜把心洋葱般剥落
拿掉防卫剩下什么
为什么脆弱时候
想你更多
如果你也听说
有没有想过我
像普通旧朋友
还是你依然会心疼我
好多好多的话想对你说
悬着一颗心没着落
要怎么附和
舍不得 又无可奈何
如果你也听说
会不会相信我
对流言会附和
还是你知道我还是我
跌跌撞撞才明白了许多
懂我的人就你一个
想到你想起我
胸口依然温热

我想我宁可都沉默
其实反而显得做作

拿掉防卫剩下什么

有没有想过我
想普通交朋友
还是你依然会心疼我

跌跌撞撞才明白了许多
冷漠的人就你一个
想到你想起我
胸口依然温柔
如果你想起我
你会想到什么
