Scattered coriandoli

Finally,the year-end exams are over. And yes,I'm very free now.

Just after the exams,we had a barbeque-birthday-mooncake festival celebrations. Yup,3 occasions in a row. Barbeque to celebrate the ending of the exams,a small birthday party for little seah, and why,the mooncake festival. Too bad it rained quite heavily that night. No chance to view the round and beautiful moon and barbequeing during the rain was......

That's our birthday boy. Complaining about his largest portion of birthday cake.



Went for Surrogates last Sunday.
Set in 2017, humans live in near-total isolation, rarely leaving the safety and comfort of their homes, thanks to remotely-controlled robotic bodies that serve as "surrogates," designed as better-looking versions of their human operators. Because people are safe all the time, and damage done to a surrogate is not felt by its owner, it is a peaceful world free from fear, pain, and crime.
Agent Tom Greer (Bruce Willis) is an FBI agent who, through the use of his own surrogate, investigates the first murder in years: Jarod Canter, a college student NS the son of Lionel Canter, the original inventor of surrogates, who uses multiple surrogates himself. The case grows more complicated, however, when several police officers are murdered when their surrogates are destroyed, something which is not supposed to happen, as the human operator is normally safe from the damage done to his/her surrogate.


Greer's investigation leads him to the Dreads, a group of humans led by a mysterious man known only as The Prophet who is against the use of surrogates. Greer and his partner Peters determine the identity of the murderer is a Dread named Miles. Miles used a unique weapon called an O.D. (Overload Device) to kill Jarod,the son of Dr. Canter as well as five police officers tracking him. Greer himself barely escapes death by the weapon. Although his surrogate is physically damaged, it is able to pursue Miles before it is destroyed by the Dreads.

Dr. Canter who invented the surrogates,reveals he wants to destroy the surrogates and the people who use them. Canter expresses anger and regret over the fact that his original purpose for inventing surrogates has been hijacked by VSI in the name of profit and by the masses for their own selfish reasons. His vision was to give physically disabled individuals like himself (Canter is quadriplegic) a chance at experiencing what they do not have. Canter has already started the destruction process through the Peters surrogate, and then kills himself via a poison capsule.

In the end,Greer insulates the surrogate operators so they will survive even if the surrogates go down. He is then given the choice of whether or not to save the surrogates. FBI troops storm the room as Greer decides not to cancel the transmission. The virus from the weapon uploads and destroys every surrogate worldwide, leaving their operators alive, but having to go back to using their real bodies again. Greer goes home and connects with his wife in her real body. Media broadcasts reveal the surrogates are down worldwide and no one knows if they will ever be able to be recreated again.
