I AM WAITING PATIENTLY

.

i am waiting patiently for dinner @ 7.00pm @ my parents' place. a time to meet up with Jenny, JC & his complicated gf, Wendy & of course both my parents. i really miss my mum's cooking - fried meehoon & chicken porridge for dinner and the promised grilled chicken wings, cola & roasted pork. yummy...

.

i am waiting patiently for 饮茶 tonight. have missed the chance on friday, hope to catch up with Beng & James. although it is not confirmed yet, i am positive over it!

.

i am waiting patiently for monday to come. gonna spend my lunch time in KLCC, to check out some items in our shopping lists - a top from Seed in Carmen's list and a nice dress that i saw yesterday. gonna try out KFC's snack pack, heard it tastes good... gonna rush back home to take our luggage & passports and head to Sg Long to meet up with Kiat & Daryl for dinner.

.

i am waiting patiently for the National Day. not because of the celebration but it's time for our long planned vacation to Phuket. leaving for Phuket @ 12.00pm, yeah!

.

i am waiting patiently for the end of the vacation. there'll be a nice dinner awaiting us - a farewell dinner @ my parents' place, made specially for JC. after the wonderful dinner, we will be going for our first thorough medical checkup in tropicana medical centre. on top of that, we are going to break the news to those who have not got to know the good news yet. then we will have no secret to keep... 舒服多了...!

.

i am waiting patiently for the karaoke session, i wanna do some shout outs!!!

.

but now... i have to wait patiently for my hubby to be back from work and send me out of here to start the excitements!

TOO LITTLE EFFORT

i remember that i wrote something about my job - that i left PRU. but i think i have omitted to write where i will be after that. well...

something to celebrate, i guess - that i have finally moved on, from my comfort zone of +/- 4 years to a familiar place yet a place that has gone through drastic changes in the past 1 year.

here i am now, back to the company i worked before PRU - Allianz Life. things have changed, some are staying bad as it was, some have turned better and some have gone worse. it's normal, i guess...

good to mention that i have a very accommodating boss who understands me at all times. current working environment is no longer like previous, full of coaching and learning culture and respect for others. erm... it's totally 100% the opposite way. everything is a big NO NO, not thinking a way to make things better. instead, to reject upfront and straightaway. the mentality is like 'no do, no wrong'.

requesting for IT support is the most difficult. the process is just like a desperate, hungry beggar begs for a piece of rotten bread! forever not committed, forever not productive, forever data not accurate! i just can't understand the difficulty to confirm when the request can be completed. to me, it's like a never ending wait, just like awaiting for a dead person to rise again - without knowing who the hell to create the chemical to rise the dead and when the hell the chemical can be invented. gosh... can you imagine that...???!!!

there's nothing i could do to change the bad situation and please don't tell me to at least try to change the culture by bringing over the good things that PRU practises. it's either i change myself to be as bad as the culture, let's see who is more nasty, the culture wins, for sure; or i quit!

i must at the same time blame myself for not being independent enough to handle my JDs and KPIs. too bad too sad to admit my stupidity for not able to know what the hell is happening from head to toe to the reports that i'm currently doing. the last person who did the reports told me that she was doing what the last last person told her to do without knowing the exact reason behind all the things that she did.

reminder to myself - switch on the positive ion charger, turn on the turbo engine, step on the petal and move on with power, fight to the level best!

正能量, 充满我吧!

INCEPTION

A psychological sci-fi action film about a thief who possesses the power to enter into the dreams of others. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) doesn't steal things, he steals ideas. By projecting himself deep into the subconscious of his targets, he can glean information that even the best computer hackers can't get to.

In the world of corporate espionage, Cobb is the ultimate weapon. But even weapons have their weakness, and when Cobb loses everything, he's forced to embark on one final mission in a desperate quest for redemption.

This time, Cobb won't be harvesting an idea, but sowing one. Should he and his team of specialists succeed, they will have discovered a new frontier in the art of psychic espionage.

They've planned everything to perfection, and they have all the tools to get the job done. Their mission is complicated, however, by the sudden appearance of a malevolent foe that seems to know exactly what they're up to, and precisely how to stop them.

*Synopsis written by Jason Buchanan, Rovi*


i thought i'd fall asleep but surprisingly, it kept me interested in and i was awake the whole movie. the story and its flow are nicely planned, there's no scene to be missed.

of course the most interesting part will be the final mission - they got into 5 layers of dreams. fantastic! each layer was clearly defined without creating confusion to audience (especially a blur audience like me. hehehe...).

a very important cast that i need to mention - ellen page (ariadne)! she's good, from the movie Juno to Inception. pay a little bit more attention on this talented upcoming movie star!

勇敢地爱...

想起当初的我, 爱得如此光烈, 勇敢, 无惧...

现在的我, 竟然爱得如此平淡, 小心, 恐惧...

坚持下去

永不放弃, 坚持自己的信念, 这就对了!

THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE

Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) is a master sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan trying to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina). Balthazar can't do it alone, so he recruits Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel), a seemingly average guy who demonstrates hidden potential, as his reluctant protege. The sorcerer gives his unwilling accomplice a crash course in the art and science of magic, and these unlikely partners will work together to stop the forces of darkness.

we (my colleagues and i) didn't know what the show was all about. we thought it were just another magical-warrior fight-something like the inkheart back in the generation of the king david.

when i got to know that Balthazar Blake had actually searched for the merlin apprentice for centuries, i was like - how come he is still alive? shouldn't he be dead after centuries? oh, i was reminded that this is a movie which is full of magic. okay...

in just some blinks away, the screen had brought us to the new york city, centuries after the incident. erm... time really flew... again, i was reminded that this is a movie which is full of magic. okay...

in another second, the screen brought us to 10 years later, where suddenly Dave Stutler became a 19 year-old teenager, who looked cuter when he was 9 years old. oh gosh... please bring me back to 10 years before. hahaha...

as predicted, he was the apprentice who Balthazar Blake had searched for centuries. after some trainings and classes by the master, he had gained and learned all the 'magic tricks' and fought against the black magic and succeeded.

the most 假 thing about this movie is... when he fought against the black magic (it was like 唔空 with his 龟波气功). another 假 thing is when he saved Balthazar Blake from death. i think it'd be better if it's an anti-climax. no choice... this is a disneyland movie, full of magic...

conclusion, this is a magical-romantic-comedy. go watch...

A LONG SATURDAY

have gone back to my mum's place since yesterday. well, my mum's place is a very traditional chinese home, with minimum entertainment 'appliances' - tv & astro (dynasty package), 100 plus & ribena, cream cracker & 'heong peah', orange & apple... boring...

woke up at 8.30am, didn't go to the wet market with my mum, i was just too tired and lazy. actually the main reason was i got what i wanted for breakfast. curry chicken in pau from lady sharon yesterday (thank you, sharon). hehehe...

no choice but to watch tv programmes, not interesting at all, except watching super old drama series, starring stephen chow.

breakfast, watched tv programmes, bathed, nothing more to do. the best damn thing happened - it's now raining!!! no astro, no tv programmes. s**t!!!

try to take a nap - failed.
try switching on tv & astro - failed!

luckily, i still have wendy's laptop broadband with me while enjoying a bowl of homemade porridge. nice...

waiting for a delicious dinner tonight, celebrating mum's 71st birthday. at first, we were planning for a buffet dinner at saisaki but unfortunately, cassey was down with dengue fever early this week, so gotta change it to a chinese dinner nearby my mum's place. after a long saturday at home, whatsoever-lah... i just wanna get out from the house for a walk & nice dinner.

one of the longest saturday at a traditional chinese home.

MY BAG HAS GONE K.O.

i wish i could have this...

PRADA, i'm a slave to you...
