Hi Universe,
On X'Mas eve, i managed to get a ticket to watched the sneak preview of the much anticpated I AM LEGEND by Will Smith. However, it ended with much disappointment for me after the show. It did not create that kind of WOW effect on me for this so-called block-buster for the end from Hollywood.
The show just seems to be too short for a block-buster. Besides that i thot the plot of the show is too simple w/o much substance. The ending was also too abrupt to have any long lasting effect on audience.
Here is the trailer of the movie - and it seems most of the interesting actions and scence of the movie are shown in the trailer and not much more.
However, i must said that Will Smith is indeed a great actor. He was able to bring out the Desperation, Courage and his Passion & Drive in this movie. Well Done Will!

If you are Santa, You Should Be In A Sleigh
Hi,
Another interesting article to share with you that i came across lately.
Not even Santa Claus is safe as the rowdy Brazilian City of Rio de Janerio celebrates the X' mas season, Reuters news agency reported.
Drug traffickers in Rio slump opended fire on a helicopter carrying a Santa to a children's party, apparently mistaking it for a police helicopter, police officials said. The helicopter, which was found to have two bullets holes in its fuselage, had to return to its base after the attack.
Santa later went to the Nova Mare slum by car to distribute X'mas presents as planned.
What a news for this X'Mas season.

You Dont Exist, Facebook tells a British MP
Hi my friends,
I was reading through our local newspapers and happen to find out this article that is so funny that i wish to share it with you. It is adapted from the TODAY papers dtd 21st Dec 07 and under The Quirky World News.
A British MP has had his Facebook account suspended after the site decided he was not real and accused him of impersonating himself, as reported by Reuters. When Mr Steve Webb, a member of the Liberal Democrat Party, tried to log on to the site, he was told that his account had been disabled following complaints that he did not really exist.
The news was particularly disconcerting to the 42-yr-old politician as not only has he been MP for 10 years but he is also one of the keenest promoters of online networking, using it to keep in touch with constitutuents.
A few hours after his friends set up a Facebook group called "Steve Webb is real", he received an apology from the site and his profile was reactivated. "You realsie the power these organizations really have," he said. "It's actually hard for a genuine person to prove they exist." Seems like online networking is up and rising but these big companies that provide such service would need to spend more efforts to make sure this type of things wont happened again.

Who Says Chemistry is Boring?
Halo,
Have you heard of anyone who said Chemistry and other sciences are boring subjects?
I certainly disagree with that statement and have been relating to others between Chemistry Theories with Real Life examples and applications in order to convince them. Even with all these being done, i still have people coming to me and tell me that Chemistry is boring since there is no movies or songs that revolves around them.
Did we say Songs? Yes. I was searching for material in the internet and came across a song that is related to Chemistry and it has been around for several decades. This is going to be fun for those that study Chemistry before and an eye opener to those that claim we Chemists are boring.
We are talking about The Element Song by Tom Lehrer is an American singer-songwriter, pianist and mathematician. He also lectured on Mathematics and musical theater. Lehrer is best known for the pithy, humorous songs he recorded in the 1950s and 60s. His work often parodied popular song forms, notably in "The Elements", where he sets the names of the chemcial elements to a tune from Gilbert and Sullivan.
Before we start, here is the Lyrics that you might want to sing along with:
There's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium,
And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium
And nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium,
And iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium, Europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium
And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium
And gold, protactinium and indium and gallium
And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium.
There's yttrium, ytterbium, actinium, rubidium
And boron, gadolinium, niobium, iridium
And strontium and silicon and silver and samarium,
And bismuth, bromine, lithium, beryllium and barium.
There's holmium and helium and hafnium and erbium
And phosphorous and francium and fluorine and terbium
And manganese and mercury, molybdinum, magnesium,
Dysprosium and scandium and cerium and cesium
And lead, praseodymium, platinum, plutonium,
Palladium, promethium, potassium, polonium,
Tantalum, technetium, titanium, tellurium,
And cadmium and calcium and chromium and curium.
There's sulfur, californium and fermium, berkelium
And also mendelevium, einsteinium and nobelium
And argon, krypton, neon, radon, xenon, zinc and rhodium
And chlorine, cobalt, carbon, copper,
Tungsten, tin and sodium.
These are the only ones of which the news has come to Harvard,
And there may be many others but they haven't been discovered.
How about looking at the position of each elements in the periodic table and see if Tom really covered all the known elements at that time in his The Element Song:
