Finding fun @ work

I really hate that my company always like to give last minute instructions or perhaps marjority of the company practice the same culture. Wait to rush and rush to wait. =/

On Thursday, I was made to rush like mad for the printing of the sign off letter. I felt like I'm working in a factory. I was rather fed up with Mo boss, when he said something, inside I was really thinking... "DAMN YOU & SHUT UP" He was saying redundant things. C'mon man, what was done was done. So what for talking so much of "we should have......... in the first place" I rather these people just shut up when things happen and think before they ask us to do things.

Then on Friday, Martini & a new guy, Albert came from SGH to help. I was so happy actually because that was the fun part. Haha. Although we were busy doing the thing, we kept craping around. This was so much better than when they weren't around. You know I just can't crap with those older staff there. When there is no fun at work, things will be dull and then... I will just fall asleep. Sadly, we couldn't complete everything by Friday so we decided to come on Saturday.

This time we got Vinny along to suffer with us! Then we targeted to finish it before 1pm but we ended up finishing at 4pm and all the counting stuff, we finally ended our work at 6pm. I wonder if it was because we talked too much. Haha. Nonetheless, I have not much to complaint about. I guess all the fun has already overtake the stupid things that we have to do. I wanted to thanks Vinny for coming but later he complaint so much about having to go back late! #$%#$ I shall not thanks him =P

Well, due to these 2 days, I got 1 more younger brother and sister. I'm the Da Ge, Martini is the Er Ge and Vinny is the San Mei. HAHAHA. All thanks to the stupid idea from Martini for us to be "Jie Pai Siong Di". So Er Ge sugguest that we should prepared all the roast duck and chicken for the offerings but I said that was the older times ways of doing then he added that modern days was to offer the God with KFC. Lol. We ended up at Pizza hut anyway.


Pepsi was our offering instead. HAHA. Perhaps I should be a guy o_O!!

We reached the pizza hut @ around 6:45pm, I guess. Then we leave at like 8:30pm!!! Time fly even faster when we were talking and eating. Have a great day and of cos credits to myself and the guys. Haha =)

Days like these are hard to come eh. I guess no more fun on Wednesday onwards. Boo hoo! Time to study for my Econs >.<~

Monster's meal


Creative name isn't it?


Time for steamboat.


That's real life when people have to compete each other... for FOOD! Haha.


The siao char bo who drank 2 can of coke and said it's not the coke that made her full.


As usual trying to act like she didn't like to be in the photo when she likes!


The hungry SPY who ate all these! We didn't even help her to eat any bits of it.

It's really a fun evening dinning together with them. Time really fly passed so fast. SPY & HT, 1 already started working another is waiting for her work to start. I do hope we still meet up often for dinner!

Movie reviews

*Ahem* I forgot to add this to my yesterday post. I have watched 'Vintage Point' on last Thursday. When I think about it now, it was like ages ago. I don't know why maybe sometimes somethings are just like that. Nearly gone for another movie after that but too bad it didn't happen.



Vintage Point



THE GOOD
The concept of the film worked. The whole idea of weaving what is really going on to the audience through different perspectives and the new information that comes from each character, and how that new information sheds light on information we learned from a previous one was executed well. It starts us off just from the perspective of the average citizen of the world as we first see the events happen from the view of the world news agency (they can’t call it CNN… so it’s something like GNN or something like that) and then we learn more from each charcter.


THE BAD
As each characters point of view was finished being shown, the screen would freeze, then rewind through what we just saw, and a clock would show at the bottom of the screen letting us know that it was Noon again. The first time they did it, it felt out of place… but after that it felt like they were treating us in the audience like idiots. As a matter of fact, instead of creating added dramatic tension to the movie, the technique made people in the theater laugh out loud each time they did it.


OVERALL
Vantage Point is a mediocre story told in an interesting way that unfortunately tends to drag itself down by some of the repetativness and techniques it employs. A decent job by the ensembles cast carries the film most of the way, and then is nearly completely ruined by a plot device at the end that soured the whole taste of the movie for me. Overall I give Vantage Point a 5 out of 10.

--------------


Orphanage



The Good
The Orphanage bucked the trend however and kept my interest the whole way through and anxiously watched as the story unravelled. I thought the story was very well written with great call backs to subtle hints, and a couple of quality twists. The characters were fantastic and as the drama unfolds you start to see the weight of the events in their disposition.

I judge films based on genre and if they did what they set out to do. The Orphanage certainly fit the bill for thriller, I had the pleasure of seeing this film at a packed house opening night at the Arclight and everyone was hootin’ hollerin’ and throwing their arms up because the hell was being scared out of them. I felt a little less like a pussy because everyone was scared along with me at the “shock” points.

Director Juan Antonio Bayona did a great job directing the living and the surroundings, and really was able to creep the hell out of you with a standard hallway shot as your mind fills it with every sort of specter and phantom. The ability of Juan Antonio Bayona combined with the outstanding original core by Fernando Velázquez really came together to instill an atmosphere of terror and suspense. The score in this film was perfect and primed your fear to the point where even the most mundane of objects started to cause suspicion and every dark corner became a potential threat.

The Bad
As far as thrillers go, this film was right on the money, and I do not have much to complain about. Near the end of the second act, the film started to drag on a bit and a more liberal cut would have been appreciated. The action picks up quickly in the third act however and the movie ends very strong. Other than this, nothing stood out as a bother to me.

Overall
The Orphanage is a very good atmospheric thriller/ghost story that should please those that enjoy the genre and those. This was an excellent film and give it an 8/10.

Food glorious food

Before I begin my post, I starts to wonder about this phrase, "I don't want you to sms other people". Am I losing my freedom or my pride? Perhaps it's just plain childish?

---------------------

By the way, for these 3 days I think I have been indulging myeslf with too much food. OMG! I'm gaining weight. Lol.

Thursday, 20th March


I guess this is the first time that food was ordered from the menu instead of taking the sushi from the counter. "this 2 each, *pointing* 2, *pointing* 2...." (some inside jokes)


*burp* =)

Friday, 21st March







Saturday, 21st March




The appetiser taste nicer than the one at PS.






The worst thing that I have ever ate for this dinner set. This was way too salty!



Overall, I still prefer the lobster set. Wahaha.

WTF is happening?

EMO

Who should I blame? Myself? Yes.

Words of wisdom

Seeing the shattered self-confidence of depressed people, many new-age creeds attempt to cure the problem with the philosophy of “love yourself first.” But this is the cause, not the cure. “If you want to be happy, you should never seek to please yourself.” Instead, we should seek to please others.If we ask, "But, don’t I have to protect myself from suffering?” “If you wish to be protected, you should constantly protect all others.” The prescription for happiness is to forget yourself and love others. The more we look after our family and friends, the more they will care for us. It is so simple, so obvious, but we have to do it. Not just our family and friends; our purpose in life should be to protect every living being from suffering. When this attitude is supported by wisdom, we will never know unhappiness.

I actually got this from HWZ - EDMW. Lol. Well, I just find it kinda meaningful

Oh gosh. Im rotting bit by bit every little single sec that I'm sitting here. Why there isn't any task given to me yet! I'm really going to bored to death!

This morning, I found a french toast at my dinning table! Too bad, the french toast wasn't for me. I almost wanted to steal it and hide it inside my bedroom so that the owner can't find it. Wahaha. Talking about food reminds me of last night. My heartles sis didn't want to cook for me when I called her up and I told her that I am not feeling well, perhaps due to my gastric again. Instead of telling me yes or no, if she will be cookin for me, she was asking why I didn't ta bao back etc. -_-"' When I reached home, she was actually relaxing and watching TV. I even more
-_-''''''''' Well, luckily I'm not on the verge of dying. Lol. So I will just forgive and forget.

Am I the reason?

How amazing! The new satff left in less than a week! Lol. Apparently, my boss told me that she asid that the job is not siutable for her. I thought she is ok and willing to learn though she is computer nuts. Lol. Perhaps, it's because I'm not leaving anymore so they have to send her away? Oh no! I might be the one who cause her to lose her job!

My boss decision or her decision to leave shattered my and the others' dreams!!! For them, they thought I will have 1 person to cover my job when I'm on leave, for Saturday and etc. For me, I thought.... dammit! Lol. Alright, I guess there must be a way. I shall complaint is there is too much calls coming in. Lol. Complaints FTW!!

Actually, it's kinda sad for me not just because that I lose my "future hand" but also a chat buddy. Hehe. Well, I have to depend on my MSN again.

Judgment day!

Last night, C botak tell me that he need to talk to me today at 11am regarding my stay at CSC but well, I guess he is busy so I gotta wait.

Maybe I'm young and inexperience so I didn't know what to expect and say, so Huang Shang actually gimmes tons of things to say. Some I felt it was abit er too much? Wahaha. Nonetheless, everything is worth trying. However, the funny thing was, I shoot him 1 qns, "since you know so much. So does your current salary justified the workload you have?" His reaction was ^%*(*$&(#$ Oh, so bad of me to make a Huang Shang feeling this way. xD

Also to the person who likes to peep at my blog. =X Thanks a zillion to you for what you have done to help and assist me. If the talks don't goes well I will still say sayonara. Well... Let nature take it course la! I'm too lazy to fight with the nature. Lol.

I'm so tired. I slept at 3am last night all because of the ^*$%&$*# AHH. Yesterday I think my blood vessel nearly burst. Oh well, forget it. Time for me to do my work.

I changed my mind!

I have changed my mind and decided to stay! Hehe. After all I think I still wants the extra money to get my "wants". Lol. I guess this way is better than depending on someone ya? At least, I won't be a extra burden plus I can save more for the future! I hope I do still get a place there. Lol. Bosses are keeping me, I should give them some face right. *ahem*

Anyway, I heard from my ex-colleagues that my ex-company is having a incentive trip to Hong Kong. =/ I kinda envy them but at the same time, I DON'T. Haha.

I wonder when will I get a chance to go overseas again. Am I really that "too young" or I can't take care of myself? I can't go overseas with zhu nor friends. Parent don't allow me to go anywhere else alone with him. WTH! Ok, I understoond. Then I always have to stick with my family and at the same time do they really have the time? Why do I have to keep waiting and waiting? Is it that I'm asking too much or it's something else. *sigh*

Think about it for the year of 2007, I didn't go anywhere else! It's because, it's always "I'm waiting for you to get leave/off, when are you free, sorry this month not free, no work = no money/ I can't take off on that day/ I go school.....etc"

HAI. SO SIAN OF IT LA!




Anyway, on the happier side... I found this @ Tampines mall!! Wee!

Im back to hell!

Oh gosh! Someone read my blog! I don't know how he managed to but he just did. I just wanna say, HEY YOU BUSYBODY! Lol. I hope you don't get offended in 1 way or another. We all are good brothers right? Well, I'm not good at explaining. I just hope you understand and don't get the negative ideas. Anything just find me to talk ok? =D

Anyway, I'm back to Henderson for no good reason! WTH man, my boss send me back to Henderson to dur more net? I rather stay in SGH to surf net and talk cok with those guys there. Boo hoo hoo. Martin asked me if I will go back to join them for lunch. I was like "duh! How can that be." Then TH added that Martin should drive his bike to Henderson and drive me back to SGH. Wahaha. That will be fun but it's impossible! Well, I think I have to find my "long lost brother" to eat everyday again. *sigh* I just realised I got more and more "brothers". lol. Mama! Why am I born as a girl!

My days are numbered...

18 more days to Economics Exam
31 more days to Accounts Exam
32 more days to last day @ SGH

Times flew as fast as I could catch up with them again. Sigh. How I wish I could run ahead of time. Looking at the calendar, my working days are really numbered. I'm kinda happy and sad thou. Sometimes I felt I should stay but the thought of heading back to Henderson makes me feel sick. -_-

BTW, my previous image of my model, I label the model wrongly. It supposed to be W910i. Lol. Thanks to the busybody who spotted it. =p

I have been sick for days. I blame the weather this time. I have been taking NPL. Boohoohoo. This means I will be bring home less money for the month or March. I guess I will be earning $0 from mid March all the to around May or June. Maybe I will look for some temp. job. Well at least this way I will then have more time to study. After I left my job on 15th April, I will be a full time gamer. Wahahhaa. Back to the younger days... How I idle my time away... Nah. I guess I will study harder. IT'S NOT EASY TO WORK AND STUDY! So I hope HT don't follow my footsteps! *ahem* Words of wisdom from a wise girl. =x

Tomorrow is SPY's birthday! I already got her a present but I guess I will still go browse at other items since I won't be seeing her till 25th. Hopefully, it's 25th...because no one has reply me after I sent out my sms >.<

I shall blog till here and time to change the blog layout for Monz's blog!

Sick-o-monster

I'm sick! I'm down with fever and sore throat. Boo hoo hoo. I wonder if it's someone who pass the virus to me. I'm having this sickness since Friday. Hmm... I wonder if I'm really sick because I still went out on Sat and play WoW till 2am. Haha.

I thought I can sleep longer but this morning my botak boss called me but I didn't pick up the phone because I know why he called. Lol. I quickly get up did what he wanted and sent him. I pretended that I have already send on Sat and so I blame the lotus notes for being lousy. Lol. I went back to sleep after that then.... Zhu called me!! I want to sleep!

Hmm ... talking about sick... I remembered someone smsed me on Sat morning and said he was "heartpain" when he know I'm sick. OMGWTF la. Lol. I'm actually abit turn off by this sms. I was like... dotss and more dotss. He isn't my bf neither I'm interested in him. At least another was "lol" at me because he was having fever for the whole of last week. -_-

Maybe I should thank myself for resigning. I think there are too many dangers for me to continue to hang around SGH. Lol.

Anyway, I went to watch 10,000BC yesterday. It is really a nice movie. Ya know I'm bad at reviewing a movie these days. Lol. So no spoiler but you should watch it!!

Then we went to 'Bi Fong Tang' for dinner.


The menu...


Look at how they spell the word "pepper" as "paper". LOL


The duck noodle was really yummy. The duck meat was very tender and easy to chew!

Talking about good food... I shall say something about PastaMania. I went to the outlet at PS with my colleagues last Friday and found out that they got a new menu. So wow, I decided to try the Unagi Pasta or something like that. IT IS REALLY AWFUL with not much of a tast. Yucks. I stil prefer my baked rice.


The new menu with more variety.


Thumbs down for this lousy pasta.


Anyway, I got a new Sony Ericsson phone last Sunday! It's really damn chio


What is fate?

Fate: something that unavoidably befalls a person; fortune; lot: It is always his fate to be left behind.

I told CH that fate is by chance. If 2 human meet each other along the way without telling each other where they are, it's fate. Even if the person did tell where he/she is at but sometimes, if there is no fate, they might not meet.

However, he argued that fate is created by human. If 2 human meet each other along way, it's because either 1 has make the effort to do something to make it happen.

In conclusion, I came up with this, "50% of our fate is decide by the God, another 50% is for us to make it happen".

Then my cousin came and talk to me and asked me, "so how many percent for luck?" I told him, God = fate = luck. Lol.

Thanks to Grass the wise for the lesson. I find these quite meaningful. However, I think I need to think about how to apply them in my situation. Words are easy but real action is so much hard. Perhaps I just need to install my brain with better software so I can think better and wiser like Grassy?

Sqeezing our way @ level 8

Here are some of the phots taken by me secretly. Haha. Altough the office at 8th floor is so damn small, at least it is still better than sharing the place with people from IBM at 2nd floor. Actually, I so love the people there. They are way too fun until I feel like I'm not working.


The photo caption tells it all! Lol. #$%#$ The fat one is sitting on my chair!


I was like throwing my things everywhere but at least I know what I'm doing.


Vin & Martin trying to act busy... I know they are not!! (obviously)


How can he be sleeping during working hours!!


All the PCs for deployment.


When I reached home, I went to show my sis these photos and ..... she thought I was showing her CH's photos. WTH. Lol.

My blog just gone mad!

Wow. My blog is just like me! It turned crazy too. My entry all went to the bottom... I don't know what I did to the template!!!

I'm feeling weird just because I don't know how I'm feeling now. Let's take today for example... I'm very sleepy and moody the whole morning but I was slightly okay when chatting with my colleagues. I can be happily laughing at whatever things. However, I get very annoyed with someone, who replied my sms with only 1 word. Actually, it is no big deal but I'm just so pissed off and reply that person with , "whatever la! Blah blah... ". But immediately after I sent, I felt bad. Lol. I think I'm getting crazy.

Blah blah... Regarding working stuffs, my botak boss is having a big head now. He even smsed my colleague to ask him to persuade me to stay -_- I told Vin that, unless they can station me in SGH or else I won't stay. Lol.

Anyway, I'm still waiting for more presents to come... *look at the date* Wow! It's already 4th March and yet there are still people owing me presents! *point at grassy & spy*

What happen to me?

What I wanna blog about today? I really have no idea. I didn't have a great birthday or a fantastic Valentine's day. I just don't know what's happening. I cried on the 10th feb while having lunch. I was very unhappy on Valentine's day. Maybe I'm just getting emo, unpredictable or maybe I'm just not satisfied in 1 way or another. Perhaps, it's somebody doesn't wish to put in anymore effort. So what is it?

I guess I will never forget how I ended up watching Death Note: L change the world with ZG. Well, I almost watch it with somebody else. I will never forget how it happen and what the person said to me for not coming that day. I was so damn pissed off. Very very fed up.

Some simple thing that I asked for, I really hope it can be done seriously but yet he lied and laugh it off, hoping that I will feel that it is nothing serious but he is wrong!

Sometimes, I just felt I wanna let it go but something is holding me back, which I'm trying to figure it out now. Is it because of the still love or is it because of "being used to it". Maybe, I just can't bring myself to do it or maybe again, I don't wish to be so cruel. Maybe, I'm still holding on is because I'm still giving him a chance.

I hate things to be like getting more and more boring and dull. Why we can't make an effort to spice it up? To me, I felt I no longer have the heart to put in alot effort. I guess just 40% will do. To him, I have zero idea. I even feel like I no longer need to meet for once a week or go out for a movie ever since that inccident.

*sigh* I don't even know how to stop this entry. I hope this symptons is just temporary. I just hope...

Continue to rot...

Here are more photo post...
