I have actually watched Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist last month.. another late update.. haha.. too busy lah..
this movie has the same style as Juno.. same lead actor.. haha.. same kind of indie movie about teenagers.. and its soundtrack plays a great part in flow of the movie.. becos this movie is about music.. Nick and Norah's favourite songs and indie bands.. this is also the part that I like about this movie.. I am a fan of indie music and rock bands!
anyway.. not to get carried away.. haha.. the actors and actresses are natural in the acting that you find it fake at all.. it touched on the issue of gays.. whom I always believe that we should not view them differently.. what's wrong with being gay? It also talks about college relationships and the boyfriend or girlfriend for benefits.. sometimes you feel so lonely that when someone treated you well and be there for you, even if it is for benefits, you will don't really care about it and accept this kind of relationship.. till you met someone that truely likes you as you are and not what riches you have then you will find out how silly you are in holding on to a relationship that is so empty..
I also watched another movie called 12 lotus.. everyone should know this local production by Royston Tan.. when it was released, all my friends say it is not nice at all.. boring compared to the same time released Money Not Enough 2.. I haven't watched Money Not Enough yet.. but I have my own take on 12 lotus..
This movie is similar to 881.. becos it also talks about the live on getai.. but this time, instead of talking the life a pair of sisters, 12 lotus is about a getai singer who has a hard and bitter life.. 12 phases of her bitter life was presented.. and it also ended sadly.. it is a sad story which is punctuated with some happy singing.. due to her silliness and mental illness, funny things happened.. guanyin needs to cut hair?? haha.. the boring parts maybe are the singing of hokkien songs.. so drama like in 881.. but I think that is royston's style bah..
anyway.. this movie is also about love for benefits.. which is not true love.. all the men in Lian Hua's life always have motives to get near her.. for her body, for her money.. except for astroboy.. who really cared for her but will inevitably have to leave her after he has grown up.. in the end.. she was killed becos of the love that she has held on..
The kid actor and actress are the most outstanding.. they sang hokkien songs so well and acted so naturally.. even better than some of the adult actors.. haha..

I finally started project!
After becoming an "IT and excel expert", I am finally given a project to do.. a condo signage project.. I am assisting a manager.. but the manager is very busy with the many projects he is handling.. so in reality, I am more than assisting.. I have to make sure that things get going.. and I finally know that it is not easy with the limited technical and project managing knowledge I have.. I have a lot to learn..
There were moments of blurness.. helplessness.. embarrassment.. frustration.. which I have to face and handle.. I don't like these feelings and I hope to conquer them in the future.. and I know a new word which is "accountability".. in work, you are accountable for everything you do so you can't do whatever you like.. and "face" is very important to get things done.. therefore, I always believe in having a good rapport with colleagues..

I finally got drunk!
haha.. having wish for that for quite some time.. I finally experienced drunk.. haha.. you must be thinking I am crazy right.. but being very curious about things.. and everything wants to at least try once.. I want to try to experience being drunk.. and I did it!
My drunk experience is actually a memory lost experience becos I can't remember anything that had happened.. From the moment I am drunk to the moment that I reached home.. I can't remember what exactly happened.. no recollection.. only the next day I reached office when my colleagues told me what happened then I know.. haha.. scary right.. and so dangerous right..
that day was my company dnd.. I am not drunk at the dnd.. only drink beer until high yah.. haha.. I think I drank about 6 mugs of beer.. becos my colleagues knew I can drink well and make me drink with them lah.. actually that day, I did tell them that I wanted to be drunk.. haha.. then after the dnd, I went to ktv with a number of them.. and they ordered some liquors.. and I drank a few glasses.. I was waiting for my song to come and it was coming up next! but I blanked out.. I remembered I vomited and then some recollection of me in the car and speaking to my father on the phone.. haha.. that's all..
I actually vomited 4 times and dirtied my clothes.. my colleagues have helped to clean me and also apply ointment on my head but I don't even know this.. haha.. I think I am in the sleep state already.. I also vomited on my colleague's hand lor.. so dirty.. feel so bad lor.. how I walk to the car and back home.. I also can't really remembered.. but back home I am already conscious and could shower and blew dry my hair before sleeping at 5am.. haha.. so early right and imagine.. I still woke up at 6 plus to go work.. haha.. amazing right..
my father was very worried about me becos he called me from 1 plus am to 3 plus!! and I didn't pick up his call until I am in the car as I was already unconscious.. haha.. the first thing he asked is whether I am drank.. and I quickly say no lah.. haha.. I don't know whether he suspected anything when I reached home.. I remembered he was nagging non stop when I am back.. what is he nagging I can't remember.. haha.. the next day, my mum also asked me whether I was drunk.. haha.. and of course I say no.. hee.. bad to lie yah..
The hangover is so bad lah.. head feels like in outerspace.. so "spacy" haha.. headache and nausea feeling.. tummy ache.. but I still have to concentrate on working.. go to site that day.. I just like to push myself.. haha.. I knew I got work to complete that day.. I can't just anyhow take leave mah.. I just got to concentrate..
what did I learnt from this experience? is to not get drunk again.. I finally know my limit and I not going to drink so much anymore.. but I will still drink.. hee..
and I want to thank my colleagues who have taken care of me and cleaning me up the whole night and sent me safely home.. haha.. surprisingly I don't smell the vomit at all when I reached home.. and they are so nice that they never took any photos or videos of me in my drunken state yah.. haha.. Thank you!

The hype about twilight..
Even if the movie is no longer showing in the cinema.. everyone is still talking about twilight.. its book, its soundtrack, its characters..
I never watch this movie becos my friend has told me it is not worth watching.. not nice.. but there are some who love the romantic story and the characters so much that they will go and buy the books, soundtrack and wait for the dvd to come out to watch again.. okie.. is it soooo good?? haha.. I thought to myself.. so tempted to watch the movie and read the books also.. haha.. wait for my friend to lend me the dvd yah..
anyway.. long before the movie came out.. I already heard of stephenie meyer and her books becos she got some book prize for her novel.. I remembered her becos her name is close to mine mah.. haha.. and that time her novels have become bestsellers.. and now becos of the movie, twilight has gone out of stock.. serious or not?? I went to popular and her book is out of stock.. wah!!
I am not thinking of buying the book anyway.. not a fan.. haha.. but her books have become the next harry potter... on train you can see ppl reading the books.. so interesting meh.. haha..
anyway.. I love twilight's soundtrack.. especially the song "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" by Iron & Wine.. never watch the movie but listen to its songs.. haha..

Nice Quote :)
Was happened to listen to perfect ten and heard this nice William Arthur Ward quote:
“A true friend knows your weaknesses but shows you your strengths; feels your fears but fortifies your faith; sees your anxieties but frees your spirit; recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities.”
I really hope to have more of this kind of true friends.. it is hard to get but I will cherish what I have and hope the friendships I have will move to the level of "true friend" one day..
anyway.. I feel "loved" in office now.. becos there are ppl who really care and concern about me.. I really like to think so.. and not suspect anything.. and I will like to maintain it this way..
