36
Feeling kinda bored. I had watched I AM LEGEND by Will Smith. Well, actually I don't like Smith. But he is a very popular star. I am feeling too bored, and there are no other better films, that's why in the end I had watched Legend. It is another virus-attack-and wipe-out-almost-all-humankind story.
Well, after watching the film. I still feel kinda bored. In the end I watched 36, a french film. A police film. I like the story. I like the language. I like it. :) Well, I had make the right choice to buy this CD at S$3.95 from HMV, long ago.
Sometimes, if time permit. I would love to enjoy movie-marathon (of coz must be good films) .. ..with nachos, chocolates and coffee. Woww. It's great. :)
Now, I gona watch Love Actually, which I had recorded from RecordTV. It is a great romantic, warm and humourous film. So far, this is one of the best Christmas-theme film I had ever watched.

CIB
Last weekend, I had watched a Hong Kong police drama on cable TV. It is the story on CIB, the highest police criminal division. All the 'Sir and Mdm' are the elite in this division. They deal with the most dangerous and notorious criminals in their island. Well, I had always love a great police story. And of coz, I dream of becoming a policeman when I was young. I wana be in the 'highest police criminal division' or in the internal secutiry department. (well, since now I couldn't reach this dream, I shall work towards my other dreams).
Btw, in one of the story in this show, a newly appointed leader of the unit strongly believe that the criminal is having some serious illness or an illness associated with great pain. But his other two subordinates do not believes him at all. And they have another theory on this criminal. And they thought their new leader is telling a story tale with great imagination. Even the leader superior do not buy his version as well.
In the end, the criminal is shot dead. And he had 'man chang yen', before his final chapter.
Well, so is the leader correct to say that the criminal is suffering from some great pain? So does he have a great 'assumption'? If the criminal had been caught and had no illness he would be labeled as 'taking rubbish'. If the criminal had never been caught, the leader's 'assumption' will be a laughing stock, which in fact, he is correct.

Two Guys, One Girl and Amanda
Over the weekend, I planned to go Esplanade to sit down and do some reading. But I heard someone singing from a distance away, hence, I decided to walk over and check out the band. Yeah, a gal was singing away. After hearing 2 songs, her gig had ended. And I wait for the next performance.
The next gig is by Two Guys, One Girl and Amanda. Well, I am not sure is that really their band name???
Anyway, Amanda started off with a few songs which I had not really heard before. Then she jump into a cover on Faith, by George Michael. Then A Little Respect, by Erasure. Follow by Chasing Car, by Snow Patrol. Lastly a song by Cranberries ( I can't remember which song did she sing... heee). Well, the song are all rite. Of coz, we can't compare her to those great singer, George Michael, Erasure, Cranberries. These are really international BIG stars for good reasons. Their vocal are superb. Well, maybe Amanda did not perform seriously and consistently throughout the whole performance. Overall, she gave a decent gig.
And of coz, credit for her courage to perform on the stage.

Good To Experience Lecture By Your Boss?
Sometime it's good that your boss give you some lecture .. ..

Lust, Caution
I had finally watched the film Lust, Caution by Lee Ang.
An award winning film. A film that win 7 awards - Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Screenplay Adaptation, Best Film Score, Best Makeup and Costume Design and Best New Performer.
Tony Leung is always an outstanding actor. He is one of those elite actors that have absolute charisma. A face that give out unlimited expressions. A pair of eye that speak a thousands words. He could just sit down and smile, and you are been captured by him. Look at his classic suit in the film. Greatness.
Tang Wei is simple looking gal. Maybe it is of her simple and ordinary look that landed her the role, and of course, her Best new Performer award. Well, when she put on her Cheong Sum, make up and hairdo, she look like a drawing portrait. Yup, there were times that I am wondering is she an anime-computer effect (so popular in these days!!). Well, I have to say her poses, expressions and custome and makeup had make this film really beautiful.
Nevertheless, this is really a fantastic film. I had always like the old Shanghai setting. And I had not seen a good Shanghai setting show for ages. There are touching moments in this movie, however, sometimes there are moments for laugther as well. I wonder do Lee Ang put the laughter in with intention or have I mis-interpret it ... hee... ..
The original writer for this film is a Chinese writer, Eileen Chang. If not for her, this film would not be seen. If not for Lee Ang, this film might not be seen, as well.

Bread For The Old Lady
On the way home today, I felt hungry and decided to go the nearby coffeshop at the my MRT for a supper. When I was at the coffeshop, I decided to check out another nearby eating house for other food varieties. Hence, I made a U-turn. And I saw an old lady walking and dragging some carton-boxes. Then I saw a lady approached the old lady and gave her a bread.
*Flashback - I remember when I was young and living in my old housing area, somtimes, my mum would packet some meals and told me to go and gave it to an old lady at her home, who is staying nearby us. Sometime when the old lady is not around the house, I would just walk into the house (the door is not lock) and left the packet of food there. Sometimes, I am afraid a large black dog, that loom around the area, would suddenly bark or jump into my path. hee...... *
Well, eventually I still went back to the same coffeshop at the MRT for a supper. After finished my meal, on my way home, I saw the old lady sitting at a corridor with many carton boxes (some flaten). She is sitting over there and eating somthing ( I think it is the bread from the lady). Hmmmm.... .. And I decided to made a U-turn again and go to a confectionery shop and buy a packet of red bean bread for her. Well, I thought the bread might be a bit "boring" for her, but I couldn't buy her noodles or fried rice as I am afraid that she might eat a little and keep the food overnight. The food might go stale, and cause her more harm. And I don't want to buy her those fanciful bread as she may not like it. So I go for the "normal" red bead bread as I thought old people may like it.
Of course, some people may feel "shy" to offer or feel that "why should they offer". Well, think about it, here I am enjoying a plate of supper but I do not buy her some simple food? If you were me, what would you think/do? Sometimes, we are lucky to have what we have right now.
If we can offer, we should offer.
Yeah?

Great Fight From The Reds!
Liverpool put on a fantastic fight that earn them a progress to the next stage of Champion League.
Goals by Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres, Dirk Kuyt and Ryan Babel had send the fans into ecstasy. A great comeback from the Reds team with 3 incredible straight win - 8-0 win over Besiktas, 4-1 win over FC Porto and a 4-0 win over Marseille.
Great goal from Torres, again. A pass from the talented Kewell and a run with stride and cool finish from Torres. Excellent goal.
Nevertheless, credit to all the players who really play together as a team.

So this is Christmas.. and what have you done?
"So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun"
John Lennon, Merry Christmas (War Is Over)
I had always love this song. The lyrics and the melody sound so simple, yet striking enough.
Lots of time, when I heard this song, I would think back on what have I done this (for that year) year. Well, lots of time, I didn't accompolish much. But this year (after so many years), I had finally done and complete 2 task. Mission completed. Although it is not a very big deal or big success, at least I try and fulfill it.
No. 1 - Vit M (2 years project and it is in the track, although it is far away from the destination). Although it is a bit late to kick-off this project, but at least "it is better late than never". Now it is moving to new phase.
No. 2 - FP (although this is not my first choice, but at least it fulfill part of my dream).
Of coz, FP had not being plan and move as what I had like, I hope it could be a better year ahead.
Next, I would like to see how S8 could develop. As usual - Saying is easy, Working on it is another thing. Well, maybe that is what made life so interesting. :) If everybody can do it, it is not special anymore.
Oh, back to the song-music. The music sound a bit sad, yet so heart-warming. Listen to the chorous part where the kids are singing. It sound great. And they sounded like "Hey, c'mon, another year is beginning soon. Another new start!". They sounded so enthusiastic and welcome of a new year.
Of coz, upon hearing this classic, it would also remind me of John Lennon. A talented artiste, who had left this world so early.
Somehow, I wonder this song sounded with so much feeling in it , is it becoz of the lyrics, melody or Mr Lennon who had left so early. Well, maybe is all the 3 reasons.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1zm4E9d1oo
Btw, pal, what have you done this year? It may be a bit 'sour or empty' feeling for people who had not accompolish their mission, but at least this is a sentence that is very simple and a true progress in your life. Like it or not, life goes on. The world will not stop for you. Well, the mission could be anything, eg, enjoying time with your love ones, writing a book, completed your drawing, building up a cafe, be a successful salesman, be more healthy, have more sleep, eaten more ice cream, etc. There are tons of task.
Well, enjoy your life.
Take care.
And Merry Christmas to you.

Milka Chocolate Bar
I had just eaten the Milka Chocolate bar, from my deary.
I can't resist chocolate. I wonder why is chocolate so tempting?
I could easily wipe out and enjoy a full slab of chocolate bar, but
I always have to control myself not to finish off, coz it will be too
"heated" for me and I may end up with sore throat and cough for
weeks.
Yummmmyz... :)
