Pay Day!!

Woohoo.. Got our pay yesterday. And guess what... Germaine and I went Times Square to shop after work. Haha.. I bought a jacket - RM10, a pair of slippers - RM10, a sling bag - RM25, a top - RM15. Germaine is a crazy-shopper. She bought 4 pairs of slippers, a pair of covered shoes, 2 bags, as for tops, I have no idea how many she bought. Haha...

Then we had dinner at a place called Gasoline. I like this restaurant alot because the concept is very special and unique. The concept is something like The Flintstone. Haha.. They have a variety of food with cuisines ranging from western to chinese and the prices are quite reasonable as well.

Reached home about 9 plus. Too tired to watch dvd. Went to sleep about 10 plus. Today is another day of work. Later Nigel is bringing us to pasar malam at about 8 plus. Think I going shop again. Haha...

Steph's movie review

In my previous post, I mentioned that I watched 3 movies during the weekends. I've decided to make a short review on each movie. Anyway, this is my personal review.

1. 20th Century Boys
In this Japanese movie, there are 9 childhood friends where one of them is a comic fan and he created a comic story whereby the world will be attacked by a kind of virus and then that's the end of the world. The virus cause the people to have their blood vessels burst and it's literally burst out of the body; from eyes, neck, etc. Then the blood will be drained out of the body and the person died from loss of blood. It attacked many countries and a gigantic robot was built to further destroy the world. It happened that one guy came across their comic and after about 30 years, he turned the comic story into reality. Then the 9 friends are supposed to save the world. I don't find the storyline any good. Because the events that happened in the movie is too un-real.

Rating: 2 out of 5

2. Blindness
This is an American movie. At the start of the movie, there was this Japanese guy who was driving halfway when he suddenly gone blind. He can see nothing but whiteness. His wife accompanied him to see an eye specialist. Then the eye specialist and the Japanese guy's wife contracted the disease as well. The patients that the eye specialist had come in contact with, also contracted this wierd disease. Then all those who are 'blind' are being quarantined.

The eye-specialist's wife followed along because she wants to take care of him. More and more people are being quarantined. The wife takes care of her husband and the people in the ward. Then the whole country contracted this disease and the city was devastated. Towards the end of the story, the Japanese guy suddenly regained his eye-sight.

I don't understand the storyline at all. Firstly, it did not show what caused the people to contract this disease. Secondly, why wasn't the wife infected if the disease is infectious? Thirdly, how come that Japanese guy can regained his eye-sight all of a sudden? This show is really wasting my time. Do not watch this show. This is the first time I felt like walking out of the cinema before the show ends.

Rating: 1/2 out of 5

3. Tropic Thunder
This movie is about this director who wants to produce a movie. Due to miscommunication, the production group blew up fireworks worth of a few million dollars and that happened when the camera wasn't even rolling. As such, the director brought the main actors to shoot guerilla-style in the jungle with hidden cameras.

Throughout the movie, one of the actor was held hostage by the heroin-factory workers. One of the actors thought that was part of the scene but, in fact, it was happening for real. Catch it on the screen if you want to know what happens next. It is a funny, action-packed movie. I find it the best among the 3 shows.

My Weekends

Back from Singapore yesterday night. Haix.. It's another working day. Anyway, I enjoyed myself during the weekends.

Reached Singapore on Friday. Germaine was held back by the immigration officer at Woodlands Checkpoint because she brought back 2 packets of ciggarettes. But, lucky her, she doesn't have to pay any fine. The officer was kind enough to tax her on the ciggarettes only. Des came to fetch me from Woodlans Checkpoint instead of Golden Mile. Then we went AMK Hub. Bought a pair of couple ring. =D After that went Golden Mile to buy the return tickets then went back AMK Hub again to watch movie. Wanted to watch The Coffin but tickets were sold out so watched 20th Century Boys instead.

Went Sentosa on Saturday. Haha.. It was a hot weather. But still better than it rains. Feel really happy because I can realx and enjoy myself after all the things that happened in Malaysia. Watched Songs of the Sea at night. Mel was working so she got us in for free! Thanks Mel!! Most importantly, I can spend time with des. Went for movie again. Wanted to watch The Coffin but tickets at Tampines Mall and Century Square were sold out. So we decided to watch Blindness.

Sunday was my sister's birthday. Stayed at home in the afternoon then went to meet des again at night when he finished work. Went for dinner at Geylang then watched movie again at E-Hub at Downtown East. Haha.. Watched movies for 3 consecutive days. This time, there are 13 of us watching Tropic Thunder. I feel that it's the best show among the 2 others I've watched.

Well, time passes so fast in Singapore while it passes so slow in Malaysia. About 4 weeks & 5 days and we'll leave Malaysia for good. Looking forward to another return in the middle of November.

~Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn’t know you left open~

You are still my friend...

I once wished upon a star
To have you in my heart
You're so close yet so far
Memories etched to my heart

I once liked you so much
But you broke my heart
Longing for your warmth and touch
To mend this shattered heart

You once liked me too
I was over the moon
But you made things complicated
Which was not I wanted

We had different mindsets
We led different lives
You like to plan and organise
I like to take one step at a time

Let go of you
Want to start anew
Let go of me
Go pursue your dreams

You can't be my boyfriend
But you are still my friend
I can't be your girlfriend
No doubt I'm still your friend

3 more days...

3 more days and I'll be on my way back to Singapore. Can't wait to go back!! I want to leave this law firm as soon as possible. I don't know what that bitchy-witch will do next. Though I'll be in Singapore for aout only 4 days, I still don't mind as long as I don't have to see her face. She is so fake.

She set Germaine up. A client settled his bill using e-banking and Germaine had printed out 2 copies of the receipt and filed it inside the client's file. Now that witch told Germaine that the receipt is missing. How can it be missing when it has already been filed inside the file? It's strange.

Anyway, God knows what she's doing and someday or somehow, I believe she'll be punished.

Another day...

Monday comes again. Work again. Counting down to 28 November 2008. 29 more working days. Haix... When will that day come?? It seems so fast yet time passes so slow each day (except weekends).

Now I'm filling up my SIP log book while drinking coffee. I realised I've been doing almost the same thing everyday. Nothing new. Nothing makes me look forward to coming to work. Haix...

Friday night, it was raining after work. When Ms Kwan dropped us at the bus-stop, germaine and I were cursing and swearing. There're f***ing lots of people waiting for bus and cabs. We knew that it is impossible to get a cab. So Germaine called Nigel to come and picked us up. Went for dinner at Macs at Bangsar. Then we went home. At night about 9 plus, we went to play pool with Nigel and Eugene at Breakers. It's a nice place. Played pool and drank beer. Relax after a week's of work. The feeling is good. =) Went to see scenery after that. By the time we got home, it was already 4 plus in the morning. But I'm happy.

Anyway, our weekend was still ok. On saturday, went singing with Brian and Logan at Neway. It was damn expensive. Each person paid about RM60 but I paid only RM50 because I'm only left with that amount. The ktv insists you to purchase 3 bowls of snacks - RM9 each and insists you to purchase a plate of fruits - RM 25 (I think). It is compulsory. I find it damn ridiculous. But heck that. Although it comes with buffet, I still find it that it is over-priced. I will NEVER go Neway again.

Yesterday we just stayed at home the whole day. So lazy to go out. Anyway, it was raining also. Watched dvd again. Haha.. I guess our lives here revolve around work, home, dvd and more dvds.

Tomorrow Never Comes

I'm like half-dead.. Or maybe three-quarter dead. Don't know what to write in my blog. I searched for a story instead. Pardon my laziness.

Tomorrow Never Comes-- By Norma Marek

If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly, and pray the Lord your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss, and call you back for just one more.

If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,I would tape each word and action, and play them back throughout my days
If I knew it would be the last time, I would spare an extra minute or two,
To stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming you know I do.

So, just in case tomorrow never comes, and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you, and I hope we never will forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.

So, if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day
That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss,
And you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear,
That you love them very much, and you'll always hold them dear.
Take time to say "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me," "thank you" or "it's okay".
And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.
