I’m living with a totally wrong concept - I expect. People should. Who ends up miserable?
I can never be contented with what I have.
Me, of course! ME only!
This is tiring.
For once, I ask myself: am I going to make the change. Or am I waiting for change to take place by itself.
I also hate the feeling of living for others.
In the process, I neglect myself. I neglect the rest of the world. Misery spreads… all coz I chose to live for others.
How irony.
Everything the feeling sets in, I sleep… for hours and hours, throughout the day. Till the night… as if hoping to erase the agony.
One word: pathetic.
It’s time to start learning. To love myself more indefinitely. To be happy.
Coz I’m sick of this lifestyle. I’m sick of living for others. I’m sick of this me.

It was a time when men and beast were untamed and the mighty mammoth roamed the earth. A time when ideas and beliefs were born that forever shaped mankind. “10,000 BC” follows a young hunter (Steven Strait) on his quest to lead an army across a vast desert, battling sabre-toothed tigers and prehistoric predators as he unearths a lost civilisation and attempts to rescue the woman he loves (Camilla Belle) from an evil warlord determined to possess her.
This movie really moved me, but not in a good way. It left me fidgeting in my seat, waiting for it to end.
This movie shouldn’t even be called 10,000BC, it should be called 100BC instead. And by changing the title, means removing the sightings of prehistoric creatures, i.e the Sabertooth Tiger and the Mammoths. Supposedly meant to portray the lives and adventures of a caveman and his tribe, instead they added in civilisation, which was totally inappropriate. How can there be civilisation when mammoths and sabertooth tigers are still around??? Moreover, it was a rip off of the movie Apocalypto. I watched Apocalypto, and I found the movie to be a worthy movie to watch. But this movie, even though its a rip off, does not stand up to Apocalypto. It seems that in most parts of the movie, the director was very confused and just wanted to add a scene in to cover up the portholes. The poster is very deceiving. The “fierce” Sabertooth tiger portrayed on the poster did not even fight with the hero, instead it acted with compassion in front of him. When it comes to wild animals, there is no such thing as compassion. It seems like the sabertooth had already eaten before appearing at the scene of the “African tribe”, therefore not wanting to eat the people there. Despite all the criticism, there were some good parts of the movie, like the background scenery, and the lead actors, used as eye-candy for some of the viewers. This movie proves to you that even good directors are capable of making dreadful movies.
(ps: This movie has just given me 10,000 reasons to “Bo-Chap”* it. haha! Get it, Bo-Chap =BC.)
