Last Movie of 2009

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 02:01:55 GMT

I wanted to watch "Avatar" but the whole island is still watching it and I was unable to get tickets for it last night. So my last movie of the year is "Sherlock Holmes".

My impression of the detective has always been that he is polished and refined, with a chubby Dr. Watson tottering around after him. Thus, this version of Holmes was most refreshing. It took a while to accept that the scruffy, seemingly inapt character is the famous detective, but as the movie went on, the character grew on me. I liked how the characters play off each other, particularly Holmes and Watson, and Holmes and Inspector Lestrade. The humor is subtle and fast, so if you are not paying attention, there is a chance you might actually miss it. I think Irene Adler's character was an extra. Maybe I have to watch it again, but I don't see the purpose of her at all! Even if she didn't send Holmes on the hunt for her dwarf, he would still have gone to investigate anyway. The only purpose for her character would be to introduce Moriarty, which if not followed up in a 2nd movie, would be completely useless.

"This is a matter of professional integrity. No girl wants to marry a man who cannot tell the dead from the living." ~ Sherlock Holmes

Wow! My sister looks great!

It never fails to astound me how make up and the right poise can make such a difference to how someone looks. And yet, I am still too lazy to put make up on :) Natural FTW :D

But I still think my sister looks awesome :) I totally feel inspired to take nice pictures on my birthday now :D

Back from the Hols! (with pics)

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 09:16:17 GMT

I just got back from a family vacation to Bangkok. My family usually does this big holiday thing once a year. I've been reminded yet again how "shopping holidays" cannot be family holidays cause the boys will go crazy and die :)

I took as many pictures as I could. Remember that it was a shopping vacation so there was very little to take pictures of during the day :)

So Desperate..

to sleep, and to mark at the same time!!!!!

I just wanna lie down, pull my blankie over me, snuggle next to my babies, and go sleep... but I need to mark so bad!! Tmr is the last day!!! There is no time to do anything!!! AHHHHH!!!!

I did Christmas shopping. I have to show you what I got :)

I love Christmas

Its a simple change. But I like it.

Something about Christmas... must be the snow, the white, the cozy, the warm fuzzy feeling of giving :)

I totally have to get ready for an appointment later for work, and I can't even concentrate on it. The meeting is with a group of people who are heavily involved in solar energy. Trying to research on the company and what they do doesn't sync with the cold but cozy thoughts that I have :)

I'm so excited to go for my holidays. I'm already planning what to bring and things to do. Jr is coming along, of course. And Snowball. They always have to come. I need to go take a picture of Snowball so everyone knows who he is :)

I've already done some of my Christmas shopping. No where near enough cause I only got presents for like... 2 people? BUT it is a start nonetheless. I have a sister who is ridiculously hard to shop for. Cause there are a million things that I know she would like. What one of a million things could I get her??

I'm going to be going to watch a movie with my sibbies this Saturday.

Disney FTW!! :)

I forgot my phone

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 01:24:57 GMT

Only in this day and age, can one feel naked without a phone. It's almost as if a part of you is missing.

Ah crap! I forgot to turn off my alarms. Now my folks are gonna get pissed by the rainforest in the balcony -.-" The whole cacophony of birds and flutes.

I made this snowy background for my editorial page at work =) Gonna try and see if I can get that in my blog. Its time for a new look! Woot! Something to do at work until lunch when I shall go home just to pick up my phone -.-"

Super tired >.<

I even slept early last night...

Erm.. yesterday evening, I was followed home by some freaky guy. Well.. I didn't go home. I was too scared to go home when I realised that this guy might be following me. I even called the cops and everything.

All in all, nothing happened to me, like.. I'm still in one piece. The neighbourhood just seems so much scarier now I guess. Living in Singapore, as long as you stay away from questionable areas, is relatively safe. But this morning when my mum was driving me out to the train station, I kept looking around to see if that freaky guy was still around. Its day time now so its okay, but last night when I was walking back out to the main road to catch a cab... well... lets just say I never knew how dark my neighbourhood was, and how many "empty" houses (they are still under construction so no one lives there, the workers are gone, and the gates... well, there are no gates) there are.

Shit. I'm so tired right now. I don't even know why. I got home and I went to bed immediately. I think I passed out since I don't remember anything until I woke up. No dreams, nothing. But I'm so tired. What the heck??

Thanks B. for dinner and letting me go over. Thanks M. for checking on me. I'm sorry I was so outta it last night.

Gonna see if I can get away with sleeping at work for a bit. Laters.

I'm Back!!!! =D

A Story of 4 People

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 09:36:18 GMT

This is a story about 4 people - Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.

There was an important job to do, and Everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realised that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody, when actually Nobody asked Anybody.
