Thank you Mr. Lucas

Well, last Friday, I watch the final and last installment of Star Wars Saga. The Revenge of The Sith is really a satisfying movie. As a dedicated fan of Star Wars, I was so excited to watch the third episode. I've been waiting about 10 years for this! Maybe same as the other millions of Star Wars fans around the globe. So many questions arised since George Lucas introduced us to those shiny lightsabers, sturdy Stormtrooper armors, and funny Ewok language. Questions about the origin of Darth Vader, who made him so powerful, why he hated Jedi so much, etc. One by one, and episode by episode, Mr. Lucas provides us the hungry audience with pieces of puzzle that create a better picture of Star Wars' timeline.

Even some movie critics said that Episode I and Episode II were not very satisfying, but for me those two are pretty cool. I'm not talking about the visual effects, but the storyline. It might had some minor unnecessary plots, but overall each episode provides answers that we might have been asking for years. Also for years, Star Wars has becoming a legend. Not only among its fans but for movie community and history. Each episode has made good remark for being one of the greatest movie of the year. Jedi too has became a kind of 'religion' for the fans. New dedicated fans keep appear each year, adding the immense numbers of Star Wars fans around the globe. For them, Lucas is more than a director, more than a story writer, for them he is their Jedi Master or Jedi Hero hehehe..

Anyway, last Friday we went to the cinema. We've booked Gold Class seat, it's where we can sit on a comfortable couch, with our own table to put meals and drinks. So we can order anything we like at front lobby and it will be delivered to our table by the staffs. Things such as pizza, steak, pasta, beers, wines, etc can be ordered. It was good, good seat, comfy, great movie. I was very very satisfied with the Episode III. We were about to watch it weeks earlier but the sessions for Star Wars were always crowded or full.

So, even you are not a die-hard Star Wars fan, have a go, watch it. It has different vibe from the other episodes. In my opinion, this third episode has a darker story, more bloody, cruel, merciless and sad. Well, I don't want to post any spoiler here as I also hate people who spoil or reveal movie story to us without our consent! Hehehe.. I have to admit, Episode III has give an emotional enjoyment, well at least for me. Now I just have to sit and wait patiently for them to release a full collectible DVD set from Episode I to Episode VI.

Thank you Mr. Lucas, for us, you've done a tremendous job thru all the years. The dedication and vision to bring Star Wars to be one of the greatest movies in human's history will be remembered for generations. It is not an easy task to satisfy everyone, but this last episode has completed the puzzle. Star Wars Saga now can be enjoyed completely with less questions left behind. We just hope that they will create some additional movies about other Star Wars' characters such as Hans Solo, Lando Clarissian, or even young Yoda hahaha..

Satisfying indeed! Well, in case some of you think this episode sucks, please listen to Yoda's words of wisdom. LOL!

For my Love

Thank you for my girfriend. Who has always been there for me, to hug and to hold. Two days ago, on 5th June, it was our 3rd anniversary. Three years ago, we promised to love each others. Time runs fast, it has been three years even for me it still feels like yesterday. The day when we both believe and trust in each other's honest dedication and simple love. Of course during the journey I've made mistakes, silly errors that make her upset and I'm sorry for that. Shall this anniversary will even give us a stronger guidance that is built from every moment we've spent together. Memories of us when we cried, memories of our laughter, the joy and cheerful days we've been through together. May also our closeness can give strength for people around us, and witnessing our love that becomes strong day by day. I've never met any woman that understands me so well (except my mum of course hehehe..), also able to always support me, holding me in any situation. We've been in so many ups and downs, those won't make us weak, but make us strong.

There is no greatest feeling to love and being loved.
I love you...
