《ドラえもん 新・のび太の宇宙開拓史》2009

Once again. the adorable Doraemon is back with another new movie for the year 2009!

This time, it's a re-make movie of Nobita's Spaceblazer that was released in Japan on 14 March 1981. Such a long time ago year 1981 was isn't it? With the re-make movie, 《ドラえもん 新・のび太の宇宙開拓史》(Shin・Nobita no Uchu Kaitakushi)[The New Record of Nobita: Spaceblazer], no doubt that with promises of better, higher quality graphic and sound. However, the storyline might be slightly different but I am sure most of the original content will remain. Just check out the two pictures of the Nobita's Spaceblazer and The New Record of Nobita: Spaceblazer respectively. You will be amazed by how much the quality of the graphic has improved throughout these years!

As usual, Doraemon is still so cute!!!~~~

Visit the official website of 《ドラえもん 新・のび太の宇宙開拓史》here for more information! ~\(=^0^=)/~

On a side note, I was disappointed to find that a local store did stock Doraemon The Magic 2007, Doraemon the Movie: Nobita's New Great Adventure into the Underworld ~ The Seven Magicians~, but it is in blu-ray disc format! I only have a VCD player at home and at most, I could only use my computer to watch DVDs but Blu-Ray disc are out of my range! I didn't ask the shop keeper if they have it in DVD/VCD format though. Let's hope that they do!

Goodbye for now!

Gone (Novel)

876930 seconds to Bogus to Bubbly.

I am so guilty. I should be studying but I still managed to convince myself to sneak out some time to read the novel which I had borrowed from the library.

The novel in question, is Gone, written by Michael Grant, published in June 24, 2008. The story is particularly interesting with an ending that promises a sequel. After reading the author's blog here, I realised that the sequel, currently named Sacrifice, will be out around June-July 2009. Plus, a character will die. Oh no. Who's the poor he or she who's going to die? I hope that it's one of the bad guys please. From what I see, it seemed that the person is one of the good guys. >.< Secondly, I have to wait for a year for the sequel?! I think that I would have forgotten the story by then. Looks like I have to borrow Gone again when Sacrifice is released to refresh my memory or buy Gone (which I am very tempted to).

Forgive me for blabbing on but the information along with the covers of the book are as below. Do try to read it. It's quite an interesting book. Seriously, I was forced to live in FAYZ(Fallout Alley Youth Zone), I don't think that I can survive without powers. Yes, I am pampered. However, looking at the young age of 14 years and below being forced to cope with this crisis....I suppose I will fight for my life when it is needed. Ah..let's go to the information of the book then.

Product Description

In the blink of an eye. Everyone disappears. GONE.

Except for the young. Teens. Middle schoolers. Toddlers. But not one single adult. No teachers, no cops, no doctors, no parents. Just as suddenly, there are no phones, no internet, no television. No way to get help. And no way to figure out what's happened.

Hunger threatens. Bullies rule. A sinister creature lurks. Animals are mutating. And the teens themselves are changing, developing new talents—unimaginable, dangerous, deadly powers—that grow stronger by the day.

It's a terrifying new world. Sides are being chosen, a fight is shaping up. Townies against rich kids. Bullies against the weak. Powerful against powerless. And time is running out: On your birthday, you disappear just like everyone else...
