The first thing I got home was to have myself standing on the weighing machine. As I've promised myself, one of the targets I had set earlier this year was to increase my weight. Being underweight for the past 20++years, I have always trying to increase my weight. My BMI (body mass index) was always under 18kg/m2. I didn’t really mean to offense those who are trying to reduce weight, but I’m really a hard-gainer. Lose weight to me is very easy, but gain weight is like harder than passing an exam. Anyway, after a few months of intensive workout and high-caloric diet, my weight seems to increase “a bit”. Really glad that I've finally gotten into the category of “normal weight”. And my BMI now is 20 kg/m2. However, this is just the beginning. To maintain the weight is another story. And I know in the following few months, my weight will sure drop, as my following posting will be very busy and stressful. Then the whole cycle have to start again. What to do! I can just try as much as possible to carb up myself during this one week holiday before the next big lose...haha...

Unlike most sci-fi film, "District 9" shows a rather different presentation of alien invasion. Instead of showing high technology weapon of aliens and hostile attack by alien, the aliens were sadly the refugees contained in a place known as District 9 in this film. The director brilliantly making the film in a faux-documentary style which eventually turn into a touching heroic story. Without any big name behind the film, it still definitely have the goods. It reflects on cruel human nature, diversity and some controversial issues, including weaponry trading, illegal experiments, violence, etc. The interesting concept with a captivating backstory had make the film a success. It's not a film with high budget, thrilling special effects, or mass action scene, but the compelling characters had exceed beyond all these. Overall, this is a nice film, and it's really worth watching it.
