Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere.But sometimes, in the middle of nowhere you find yourself.
A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change.~ Anonymous
Quite "chim". Have a great week :)
So, what do you think of the movie?
It was not bad. In fact, I like it.
Really? All that cos of some weaving machine that tells a person if he/she should die?
But, the message was beyond that, you know. I think it can be related to religion, in this case, the Fraternity is the religion and if you believe in a religion and its teachings, you are sort of "brainwashed" by it. The villain, or rather the "fraternity leader" in the show is the person who manipulated the weaving machine's codes and instructed his followers to kill the people based on his whims or at times for his own sake ie money.
Hmm, so "chim*" wan.
Yeah, and it is quite ironic, too. And I think because of that, Fox decided to kill herself because she had been manipulated all this while. Besides, I thought James McAvoy was very good playing his role as the geek who turned hero. I also dig the special effects (super cool effects)
Err....
Our conversation on the movie, Wanted, was left as that. I was apprehensive at first to watch 'Wanted' after looking at the super awful movie poster (yes, I judge), but then I thought there's James and there's Angie, it can't be that bad, right?
It wasn't. Trust me. Go watch.
*Chim = Profound (in Hokkien)
Whoa. I felt like I haven't blogged for ages! Fact is, it has been 13.5 days since the last post. And, this whole 13.5 days I felt like I had done so many things and achieved quite a fair bit, too.
There was the product launch and then the Home Fair which is still running. I must admit it has all been very exciting to say the least. And, I enjoyed every bit of it although I've got blisters from walking too much and chapped lips from ... talking too much? Nah. More like lack of kisses from .... LOL
I promise to write more in the next weeks to come. Meantime, time for some photos - I think it's been a long time since the last. xoxo
"My Boos"
What'd you do if you received a text from some unknown person on your mobile phone?
I've just received an sms from this person, X saying that he/she is X and how am I.
Baffled for a good few minutes there. Of cos, I am never one to like surprises or pranks. I hate pranks if you asked me cos I think it is plain childish. I've a MOF friend who pranked me once, I got so mad, I made him apologised profusely and sorta psychoed him, too.
So anyways, back to X. I replied asking which X are you cos I do know quite a no of X.
X replied saying he/she had met me in a party.
Whoaaaa, ok, X. This is a mistake. Clearly. For once, I hardly party - never a circuit boy, if that's what they call it. Second of all, the last event I was at, it was not even an event nor was it a party. So no way I had met someone at a party.
But, I politely asked which party?
Not only I did not get an answer, he/she went on to ask for my, get this, PICTURE!
W.T.F, rite?
So i replied, I'm sorry. I don recall knowing you n no, i'm not sending you any pic. No offence.
m just kidding only. Give me a call when u r free la. We can meet up for a tea. K? Hope to c u soon.
Err. , again no offence. I don remember anyth so don think der's any future meetings. Cheers
Yes, Cheers?! I told you I'm a polite person. But, what'd you do? Actually make an appointment to see this person? What if he turns out to look like Master Oogway?
No, then, that's kinda cute. Or, some psycho? Hmm, I'm as baffled as Po
PS: Kung Fu Panda is super! I love every bits of it.
When my friend text me that petrol price will be increased yesterday, I didn't think much of it much less prepared for the absolute effect it will have on people's lives. Like, instantaneously.
I didn't think of immediately leaving office to queue at the petrol station to just fill up my half empty tank. I didn't think of the vicious cycle it will have to all the other costs directly or indirectly related to crude oil. I didn't think that to drink a cup of my favorite brew from the local (but a tad overrated, I must admit) coffee joint will become a luxury of yesterday. Literally. I didn't think that it will have an adverse effect to my live. Like, at all!
O.k. I may have been a little O.R (over-reacted) but really, I didn't think that much cos there was work. And, so I left the office at a little after 8.00pm thinking that yes, I could get on the road with as little "peak hours" traffic as possible. Prior to leaving the office, I received two missed calls from K. I returned his call.
K: "Hey what's up."
Me: "I'm queuing for petrol."
He let out a laugh I thought it was quite funny, too. Kinda like a hyena in heat laugh.
K: "I called earlier to tell you that."
Me: "But, how much? You know?"
K: "I think by 75 cents to a ringgit."
Me: "Fucking one ringgit per fucking litre? That's crazy!"
He laughed again. Tho' I seriously didnt think it was funny and I do not want to be a bitch.
K: "So. You are really in the petrol station?"
Duh.
"Yes, and I'm using my mobile while talking to you cos I am planning a suicide here."
What happened after I put down the phone and drove out to Jalan Bukit Bintang was not laughing matter. I had to detour a few routes, changed a few CDs, honked a damn lot, chewed a lot of gums, and finally reached home. A total of 1 hr 45 minutes.
Why?
Petrol hike. Yes. The entire Klang Valley was out to go to their nearest even if not their favoritest petrol kiosk to fill up. It was far out - quite like watching "The Day After Tomorrow". Our "beloved" Prime Minister said we can't subsidised for the dear "rakyat" anymore, hence, we (the beloved govt) should kill all of us. Sloooooooooowly. Especially the low income to mid income families or individuals. He also said not to worry because if you are driving a car that is 2000 cc and below, you get a yearly rebate of RM650 per annum.
Right, that is real joy. We should toast but using plain water with ice.
J just text me she was happy with her new job and said she wants to finish off her book, "Eat, Pray and Love" before she knocks off.
Yes, that is exactly what all of us here needs now. I told her.
If you are Tom Ford, you can get away with almost anything. Even if your latest ad campaign is a little risque, attention-grabbing and quite pornographic.
Yes. I'm talking about the kind where mothers, religious or not, will march down the street holding up placards which say, TOM FORD IS PORN! BAN TOM FORD.
But, you know what. After looking at it in a different perspective, I think his ads are very effective. Seriously, you will start noticing them clothes .. boobies and erm, flacid penises aside. My fav are the last three pictures.
Another kudos for TF. This will go down the fashion history well... well? Very well if it hasn't already.
Finally. I'm back gyming after one week of non-gyming. My excuse was I needed to recover from the 15km run 2 wks before. Heh. Not only I got sick, I felt flabby like a 'sotong'.
The class I did was Body Pump in the morning - I love morning classes because the crowd is SO different from the evening crowd. More matured gentlemen and women and less 'pasar malam'. C'mon, you do agree with me that at times, the evening classes or crowd in the gym can be quite a pain in the *bleep*, no? Maybe, it's just me.
So anyways, there was a couple of aunties in the class - no, the auntie with a lot of head dress no longer does BP; I think she's been told to take it easy with her knees, so she's permanently doing yoga - some ang moh housewives and of cos, a few good men :)
There was this uncle, white hair and all, probably in his late 50s, looking super fit. Imagine muscular legs and only maybe 10% of visible fat on his body, tan and quite hip, too. Hip cos he had with him his iPod classic, yes, he was bobbing his head listening to his iPod and when he walked in late for the class walking passed me, I could smell the all too familiar Chanel's Allure.
Hmm, left a lot to my very imaginative mind why of all male fragrance he wore Chanel's Allure. And, BEFORE class commences.
How interesting, no? Interesting cos there were plenty of hot looking ahem, middle age ladies in the room exposing the cleavages and then some. Interesting, also, cos who wears perfume BEFORE working out?
Do you?
Yikes.

No. I haven't gone Amy Winehouse, yet. Just happy. Happy like a smurf.
And, who said an emo post supposed to be sad or angry? I just want to spread some happiness.
La La La lalalalala lalalala .....

I am such a sucker for nice things. Beautiful things. Including people. 
When I first found out Rihanna is featured in the latest single of Maroon 5, I was like, no way! I was too soon to judge because not only they rocked it out - seemingly from the mtv, they looked so fucking good together I am very jealous. I must say a lot has to go with the set design, stylists, and make-up artists. Of cos, credits go to the director, too. 
Watch video here
But, who stole the show? Definitely Rihanna. She's hot :) And, yes, it keeps me coming back for more - the song lah. Not sure about you *shrugs*
Have a gr8 weekend :)
Skinny tie?
Err... I'm not going to the Oscar.
Just check out those clean shaven, muscular legs. Sexy-nya. I'm sure he knows; hence, the super hot pants on downtown NY.
Whatever. I know. The girl on the left looks like she just got off her bed and brought her blanky out for a walk but I'm digging the anti-establishment look. And, I love seeing girls in big flowy dress. Maybe, that is why I'm so obsessed with Angelina Jolie lately. Hmm...and NO, I am not rushing to anywhere wanting to look like them. Duh.
Frizzled hair, grey suit, nerdy glasses, and smoking. very "young woody allen". I'm buying this look but where's the wool shawl? :)
I don't know about you but this gal. Urm, guy looks pretty cool. No?
Cuffed shorts is still in. 
What can I say? He gets away with wearing a silk scarf and, still look super masculine. So unfair. I think I need to plan my beach retreat soon.
Hmm, perhaps, this should be my inspiration for this Sun's biking excursion. Haha.. My friend will keel over.
She looks so cute and I want to post this up.
Lastly, uncle looks so good, I think he makes Perez Hilton looks like 2nd grade mongrel. What a bitch.
Running is not for the faint hearted.
Running is not for anyone who wants to run to show off.
Running is for someone who really loves to run and, seek to challenge one's mind over matter.
And, running (a marathon) should not be taken too lightly.
As I had learned yesterday running 15km uphill, downhill, flat roads and more uphills. The two days I had um, trained in the gym, that was not suffice. How could that be?
Yes, I was arrogant as hell. And, daft, too. Quite malu-fying; but, I must say we had actually completed it (albeit a lot longer than I had expected) and now that we've gone this far, I think we should be prepared for 21km ... minus the hills.
And, I'm proud to say I've marked off one of the few 2008 Resolutions I'd made earlier this year.
How about you?
Off the record, I'm in a jubilant mood today. It's not even mid-week, yet. I know.
Let's leave it to that now and move on to an, um, interesting subject that I have recently fallen madly in love with - Architecture. I can't explain, really. It could be the age or my new job (which is not so new now). I never even liked big cities or cosmopolitan living before. But, now, stranger than orang minyak, I'm very fond of visiting big cities like New York, Tokyo, Stockholm, London, Denmark, Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam, Instanbul etc to see the grand architecture of their buildings. Even China i.e. Beijing and Shanghai specifically.
And, I'm really just referring to modern architecture. While browsing on the internet, I came across these projects in Denmark by the super talented team from 3xn. They made these buildings so cool, I don't mind going back to school again.
The Ørestad College is the latest ‘gymnasium’ (college or upper secondary school) in Copenhagen, built in the Danish capital’s development area; Ørestad.
The Upper East Siders will envy much.
Alsion - University, Concert Hall & Science Park
On the former railway yard, right by the Als Sund in Sønderborg, lies the unusual combination of functions that form Alsion, a centre for research and culture in southern Denmark. Alsion consists of University of Southern Denmark, the private research park, Forskerpark Syd, a concert hall and even a DSB ticket office. The main concept is a series or “comb” of wings separated by atriums.
All projects are by 3xn
Yes, I've got some biceps.
Like my new protocol LV gloves?
Oh yeah, this is so much more comfortable
When it ended (the movie) I wished I could applause because I had just seen one of the best movies that has came out in 2008. And, I know for a lot of people, after the movie, they would remember more of Tony Stark aka RDJ than Iron Man himself. I just can't wait for the sequel, now.
