Slick and New


Guess what! I think most pple around me would have known about it already .. I've got myself a new lappie!!! Introducing the new Macbook....... TADA! Obviously I got the white version though there is the first black one available. But to get a Mac in any other color other than white would not be deserving.. hehe ..

I have used Macintosh quite a number of times... but Windows still remain as my most familiar OS. One good thing about this lappie is that I can operate on 2 OS. Its all up to me!!!! There really are quite a few things I must acquaint myself with for my new lappie... I just realised I can't change the color of the text!! what did I do this time round again .... ??

Sighs.... think its gonna be a long night for me to work this baby of mine......

A Blink of Hope.. Just in time ..


With nothing to do on a Sunday night.. I decided to go home and take my well deserved rest. Unknowingly, my very tired brain decided to drift into sleep. Peaceful and quiet.. I managed to get through my rest with zero disturbance.. but it didn't last long. I woke up, with the most horrendous thoughts in my mind, and this is not the first time. NO, it's not a dream. I woke up with the harsh reality in my face, and engulfing my brain no less, my peaceful night came to an end.

You see, although my job entails advising on financial planning, but I am not too apt in this field myself. My finances are in a mess. I can tell you, "mess" is a pretty mild word to describe the current situation. And FINALLY deciding to leave this field of work, and yet no opportunities to a new one, this other situation is suffocating me. Going to work everyday, with no drive, no passion, no motivation, is akin to putting the other foot into the grave, joining the one which is already in there. Nothing is going well at this point in time, at this tender age of 26... this is a bleak position I am in now.

So I woke up, switched on the tv set, my only companion for the larger part of my life. Switching channels, my only hobby in the middle of the night. I saw LIGHT. There it was, staring back at me from the screen. I know you guys are gonna kill me when I reveal what I saw but this is me! The idealistic yet rational me. This drama was on the screen. 惡魔在身邊 Devil Beside You.

I loved this show! Well okay.. this may sound really teeny boppie.. but my life becomes slightly brighter after going through the show. Not too long ago, a conversation transpired between me, my lady boss and my colleague (guy).

Male: I always thought that girls who watch drama serials are very sad people.

Me: Why leh ? Wat's the matter with you?

Boss: Ya lah .. I watch vcds very often you know..

Male: I just think that girls no matter what they claim, but through the drama, they are hoping to fulfill their dream of the cinderella story or whichever happy ending they want. But they know its not possible in real life. So its very sad that they have to resort to that.

Me, Boss: *totally disagrees, and gives our two cents worth of comments*


Now, you see. I agree that watching dramas will tend to make people slightly more dreamy than usual. But we DO NOT pray everyday that this will happen to us in days to come. We are just glad that such romanticism still exists in the world. We truly believe in it, and we have encountered true cases in our daily lives. It's a subtle reminder that life is only as bleak as our own minds can see it. It's all about mentality. Personally, I regain my positivity from dramas, it's a tool. And I enjoy doing it. Regardless of what anyone else says, through yesterday night's surprise find on tv, my day has started on a different note. I see that blink of hope, and just in time...

2 movies in 3 dayz!


I am basically not so much of a movie freak.. but as chance will have it .. I had tics to, not one.. but TWO movies in 3 days.. of cos.. they are the movies of the moment..

DA VINCI CODE
I have been waiting for this show.. for the longest time. Reading the novel was one of the more traumatic periods I had to go through. It kinda threw me into a state of confusion. Not that I m not aware that information provided by Dan Brown is highly fictitious.. but .. I am only human. Everyone loves conspiracy theories.
He depicted images my feeble mind could not imagine. Although I have to agree that many parts of the novel was left out, which could make the movie's content alot richer.. but.. I guess if they were to do that, the movie could possibly last for at least 5 hours. okok.. I m digressing again .. images. Oh ya.. it was only after the movie, I knew how the cilice looked like, how "The Last Supper" was dissected and of cos, where the sarcophagus was hidden. All in all, the movie has done it part for me, I give it its due credits.
X-MEN III
Next in line, I went to pay X-Men a visit. I am not usually keen on this kinda super hyped up , everyone's talking about it kinda show (unless I like the content). But well.. the tic was free.. no harm done. I was in a tiny "discussion" with my friend, he insisted this will be the last instalment to X-Men. Gave him glare of doubt, and told him, "Are you sure about this? I don't think so... "
The show was fine, afterall I did watch the first 2 parts. But guess wat? I was right! Not to kill the suspense for the pple out there who hasn't caught the show, but there was an obvious hint that there might be more X-Men last last last instalments. HAHA... I WIN.
Realised I din mention much about the movie.. well.. cos there is nothing much to remember..

Decided on this ..


I have decided to put my posts on this blogspot instead. Well, its kinda less communal than what I have with me at multiply.. so hopefully.. more pics and on-goings will be stashed onto this webbie.. haha .. I must have gone mad. This is the shortest blog I will ever do ......

PS: Check out the dumb pic I have on..

Back and A New Year ahead

I am back! 3 weeks flew by in a flash. I thought the entire trip was a tad too long, but this thought didn’t last too long into my working d...
