Everybody's raving about this year's SPM result. It turned out the girl who was supposed to get 19A's didn't get 19A's after all! That poor kid! I'm better of taking 10 subjects and get straight a's for them than suffer the humiliation of a failed attempt to outbest Publicized Princess Amalina (another more ridiculously Publicized Princess is no other than Diana 'Ina' Naim of high-profile break-up with Mawi fame. Puhleaze! You people have to mind your own business- then again, other people's business is their business! How can an ex-fiancee of Mawi turn into an overnight artiste?

Peter Parker I liked the doe-eyed Tobey Maguire more as the day-to-day Peter Parker. He's the nerdy, unsure of himself, normal guy. Andrew Garfield's cheeky boyish look doesn't make me buy the Peter Parker-ness. Andrew Garfield looks like he belongs to some teen series. 2. Mary Jane versus Gwen Stacy I hated Kirsten Dunst's Mary Jane. She's completely helpless like the traditional damsel in distress and sometimes her whining about her relationship with Peter Parker, seems, idk, petty, and sometimes she seems to not understand his predicament of being Spider-man and not being able to be there for her all th
