Surprise Xmas

Tuesday, December 25, 2007
wow! This Xmas, I got a lot of surprise from Mr. Doz nothing fanciful but at least it touch my heart! Thanks Doz.

I didn't lose out either, bought Mr. Doz gifts quite sometimes back. *hee*

Bought him a book, How to Cheat in Photoshop CS3: The art of creating photorealistic montages ($53.55) and also got him a shirt that he likes. *hee*


Not feeling very well though, and for the 1st time I realise how dangerous it is to ride when you got no concentration. *sweat* So through out the journey, I tried to keep myself focus on the road by talking to myself. *haha* Sound weird right but that what I can think of to keep me focus!

Went Vivo for movie session, I am Legend. The show was quite cool except that erm.. the ending a bit cannot make it! *haha* But still, it worth watching.

Here a bit of the plot

I Am Legend (film). (2007, December 27). In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Retrieved 12:48, December 27, 2007, from

In 2009, a genetically re-engineered measles virus called Krippin Virus or KV, originally created as a cure for cancer by Dr. Alice Krippin (Emma Thompson), mutates into a lethal strain. Spreading through both air and bodily fluids, it rapidly infects humans and other animals. By the end of the year, 90% of the planet's human population has been killed; 9.8% are infected but survive, while the remaining 0.2% are immune. The infected survivors initially exhibit the early symptoms of rabies, but then degenerate into an animal state characterized by aggression, skin afflictions (including the loss of hair) and rapid heartbeats and breathing. Unaware of the effects of the disease on the infected, many of those who are immune are mercilessly killed, further reducing the human population.

Three years later, military virologist Robert Neville (Will Smith) is the last healthy human survivor in New York City and possibly the world. The Infected[3] (called "dark-seekers" later in the movie by Anna) react painfully to UV radiation, forcing them to hide in buildings or shadowed areas during the day (in groups called "hives" by Neville); they swarm at night, attacking in large numbers. Neville's isolation is broken only by the companionship of his daughter's dog Samantha (Sam), mannequins in a shop he regularly visits, and by recordings of old news and entertainment broadcasts. Along with his research, his daily routine includes trips through a Manhattan devoid of humanity, hunting for food and supplies. He has flashbacks of the death of his wife and daughter while being evacuated during the chaotic, militarily enforced quarantine of Manhattan in 2009. He also waits each day for a response to his continuous radio broadcasts to any uninfected survivors, instructing them to meet him at noon at the South Street Seaport.

One day, his research appears to find a promising treatment, so he captures and treats an infected woman, but without apparent success. Shortly after, he is ensnared by a trap and attacked by the Infected. While helping him escape Sam is bitten by an Infected dog and becomes contaminated so Neville kills her. He appears distressed by his loneliness and attacks a group of Infected that night at the South Street Seaport and is nearly killed himself but is saved by a pair of immune survivors who heard his broadcasts. They take him back to his fortified home on Washington Square North. Anna (Alice Braga) and young boy Ethan (Charlie Tahan) survived the chaos aboard a Red Cross evacuation ship, and are making their way to a rumored survivors' camp in Bethel, Vermont.

The next night, the Infected attack the house and overrun its defenses. Neville, Anna, and Ethan retreat into the basement laboratory, sealing themselves in with the woman Neville is treating. Discovering that the last treatment is successful, Neville draws a vial of blood from the patient and gives it to Anna. He pushes Anna and Ethan into an old coal chute and sacrifices himself with a hand grenade, killing the attacking Infected.

Anna and Ethan escape to Vermont and locate the fortified survivors' colony, where Anna gives the cure to the guards. In her narration, she states that Neville's cure enabled humanity to survive and rebuild, establishing his legend.
Anyway, to everyone out there, MERRY XMAS!
