An American teenager obsessed with martial arts makes an exciting discovery in a pawnshop in Chinatown. It appears to be the legendary stick weapon of the Monkey King, the infamous Chinese sage and warrior. He is transported back into time to Ancient China where he meets a band of martial arts warriors and joins them on their journey to save an imprisoned Monkey King (Jet Li).

ACTION MOVIE!

My Thoughts:
It does seem weird when most of the dialogues are beingg translated to english, there is a mix of chinese in it though. Its like in ancient times, the mortals are speakingg english? o.O? Looks and sounds weird. Jade Emperor speakingg english. LOL.

There are also alot of laughing scenes in the movie. What to do, a combination of two heavenly martial arts stars, Jet Li and Jackie Chan in a single movie!

Lots of fast and furious fighting scene and the two stars battling it out with each other on martial arts and of course Jackie (the funny guy) always suaning Jet Li (the serious guy), esp. when Lu found the monk in a temple and challenged him to a duel if the monk doesnt surrender the staff.

I absolutely had a hard time controllingg my laughter at the cinema even when i watched duringg the second time.

-Lu says the monk, ' Master of Sensitivity'

-When Lu summons the rain.

-'we can send a walking monk...'
Lu says, 'why not a running monk..'

There are also quite alot of parts which are prettyy meaningful~

-Lu says to Jason when askingg Jason to jump, "Don't think. Just Do."
alot of people in life often thinks too much, reads too much into it. sometimes as what fawwaz says, things doesnt look as much as it seems. even when you thinkk alot, it doesnt mean that you will make the right decision, and when you hesitate, you lost the momentum to do it. thus, whatever upline says, jus do will do. (provided you follow the right upline, which i did!)

-When Lu instilling a zero-ing mindset / empty-glass attitude into Jason, " How can you fill your cup when its already full"
there are people who are full of themselves and are unwilling to be humble in order to learn from someone who is either older or younger than them. there are so many classic examples aroundd us! OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE!

-When Lu and the monk training Jason in the waterfall, "Learn the form, Seek the formless. Learn the way, Find your own way."
it sort of left me thinkingg quite a while as it impacted me quite alot. in this career, duplication is important. when we have duplicated, e.g. presentation skills, its also a chance for us to develop our own style. everyone of us is unique in our own ways, as what Mr Lianjie says. now we are learningg to be a leader so we are followers, but definitely, we will grow up to be a leader, and we will train the followers to be a leader.

-When the monk opp-ing swallow about hatred, "One must not feel hatred for him or he wins."
i must go apply it now! HA! ying told me before, happy also will live a day. sad also must live a day. why not happy happy live your day? makes your life easier! smile is better than frown.

-When the injured Lu is on the bed, talkingg to Jason, "If one does not attached himself to people and desires, he will not be hurt or affectedd in any ways. But has he truly lived?"
thats why God gave us emotions, and made us HUMANS. if we are devoid of emotions, thats makes no difference of us humans with animals.

-Ending: Walk the path of a warrior and finds out the truth of yourself.
we never know our strengths unless we discover and unleash it ourselves. we are all meant to shine, like all children do.

-Ending: As one tale ends, another tale begins.
as what the saying goes, when one door is closed, another door is opened. but sometimes we stayed too long lookingg at the closed door, and missing the opened door instead.

LOOK FORWARD to WRITING the NEXT CHAPTER of my life.
it all BEGINS NOW!
