Movies, movies, movies..

Watching movies has been my favourite past time.. I used to think watching movies alone is quite pathetic.. a lot of ppl also disapprove that and they never do that.. they rather watch the movies at home.. either download or dvd.. but now I actually don't mind watching alone becos coordination with friends is not required and no need to wait for friends to be free.. and by the time they are free.. the movies will have stopped showing.. so watching alone is actually not troublesome at all and I always watch it impromptu.. and rush to the cinema just on time to buy a tix to watch.. since you can't talk to any one during the movie, watching with somebody is not really required.. but of course I still prefer to watch with somebody.. it's not so sad lah..

more than 2 weeks ago I watched mama mia.. it is a interesting movie with all the familiar ABBA songs and good acting by Meryl Streep, my favourite actress and the dynamite sisters.. Meryl Streep not only can act well.. she can also sing and dance well.. who can be as well rounded as her.. ppl have been so used her seriousness but she is so cheerful in this light hearted movie which is a different side of her..

this movie is not boring.. but I actually find it quite retro and cheesy for the way the characters behave and speak.. I feel the senior citizens should watch this.. haha.. they will learn to live their lives to the fullest and no regrets.. most of the main characters of the movies are so old.. this movie will make you want to get its soundtrack or ABBA album as the songs are so catchy.. but I must say that Pierce Brosnan's singing is quite weird and he don't really can sing yah.. but a good effort from him.. haha..

This week I have watched painted skin.. thinking there is so many stars casted in this movie should be quite worth it to watch but I must say that this movie is just average.. I thought it will be quite scary as there are demons in this story.. but it is not at all.. just a normal story that can just be shown on tv.. now tv drama also have visual effects yah.. this movie emphasizes love.. love that is so strong that devils can't take advantage of it at all.. it is a simple story and a lot of scary details in the movie are not shown but only told by mouths.. so the scariness is not there.. not much of a climax.. and the ending is just a normal happy ever after..

I also watched vicky cristina barcelona.. it is a movie funded by spain.. so to encourage ppl to travel to spain for its beautiful scenery and old monuments.. but this is quite a "crazy movie" which is what my friend has put it.. becos of the crazy way that they characters in this movie handle love relationships.. there are suggestion of threesome to cure loneliness, bisexual relationship to fill up the missing puzzle in a marriage of 2 "crazy" artists, a normal woman who thought she will want a normal husband and normal marriage but actually don't like it to be too normal and is tempted and attracted by a not so normal artist and another woman who is so unsure what she wants in life and don't mind trying out things to know what she really don't want.. Are these what really happening in Barcelona? these may be quite surprising and funny to ppl in our conservative society... but not impossible to happen anywhere.. but is it a good potrayal of the life in Barcelona?

This movie started quite slow but many unexpected twists started to appear that you will not be bored.. Vicky and Cristina are back to their normal lives as they returned to America after experiencing the "exciting " trip in Barcelona.. They end where they began.. we the audience also have the same feeling when the movie ended..

Yeah!

Finally can stop reading the classified, applying for jobs and going for interviews.. this is a hobby that I don't really like.. haha.. Thankz to all my friends who have been very concerned about me getting a job.. yes I have found it.. so happy! :) so happy that informed my friends about the good news immediately.. it is actually quite frustrating to be always reminded with questions like "haven't found job yet?', "what jobs you are applying?", "any more interviews coming?" and I have to explain again and again why I want to find something totally not related to what I studied.. I know you are concerned.. I felt it.. but to be asked over and over again.. is not a good feeling..

This is a project executive position.. have been saying this many times also.. but this is something good to share lah.. I will be working at a signage company which did all the road signs in Singapore.. yah.. the company that I has been talking about.. this boss is so kind to accept me who knows nothing about signage and project management.. becos he sees my passion in designing.. yes.. I am doing something related to designing.. so happy to be doing something related to what I like.. I am not doing designing of course.. becos I don't have the knowledge and skills required.. but I will learn about doing signage.. from its conceptualisation to its installation.. signage system and wayfinding signages are just some of the signages that are made.. I am so excited about it.. will reading up more about signage and also project management.. I have so much to learn!

another good news is I have also bought my avril lavigne concert dvd.. yeah! missed her concert in Singapore.. nvm.. will watch it on my computer screen.. haha.. live effect not there.. but at least can also watch her singing, actions and power.. haha..

F1 heat?

I missed the live telecast of the F1 final last sun becos I went on a photography field trip with my photography friends.. it is a walk from the alexander bridge to the henderson wave.. anyway.. will blog about it when I have time yah..

I was so worried that there is no repeat telecast of the final.. becos I heard the surprising and unexpected results of the race.. Fernando Alonso won the race!! From a 15th position.. that is amazing.. I watched the qualifying last sat.. he has been doing so well for the practice.. to be positioned at 15 for the final race.. was so disappointing for him.. his car broke down and after he got out of the car.. he waved his arms in frustration and buried his head in his hands in disappointment.. so sad for him.. in a race circuit that is quite impossible to overtake.. to be positioned so behind will be difficult for him to get to the front..

but seems like the he is lucky.. I watched the repeat telecast of the final yesterday.. many crashes have taken placed and the famous Massa's accident that caused him to lose his winning momentum and focus.. the F1 race can be so unpredictable.. anything can happen.. no matter how great the technology of the car is and no matter how good the racer is.. any human mistake or technical error can bring down the racer and the whole team..

now Ferrari has dropped from the top position.. and Massa is even further from the top position.. will Hamilton be the top racer? it's hard to say.. anything can happen in the next 3 races..

the Singapore leg of the F1 race is over so did it bring any impact to Singaporeans? It is truely an eye opener for all of us.. we finally know what is F1.. but it is still something we can watch but not to touch.. and the heat doesn't really last.. let's wait for the races in the years to come.. to see whether it is really our cup of tea.. to watch cars racing 61 rounds of the same circuit again..

it is really quite boring for me..

That time.. I went to work a 3 days part time for a WDA roadshow and there was a display of the F1 race car and it was the winning Renault race car model..
haha.. the racer is fake..

that's me with the car..
