Rattles on on some nonsense
hmm
I think i have fixed bits & pieces of my life.. everything seems quite in place now so at least Im living a decent, contented peaceful life now.. good! i must be thankful..
I cannot be always grumbling bout troubles and never slow down & appreciate simple things in life right? so here i am: although no happy events or anything worth celebrating now, at least i don't have much problems weighing down on me now.. great =)
la la la~~~
but hor.. Of coz not everything is smooth-sailing.. me being an expert whiner can find things to whine one.. like my disfigured legs from the sandfiles bites still remained ugly and show no signs of recovery, yet the medicine is making me emotional & tired..and and my cranky digestive/bowel system, not enough money to buy a good bed etc.. haha.. but still.. I kinda love my life now.. Stable, Peaceful.. mus try to inject this positive feelings to things around me..

Misc stuff for the long weekend
after 4 days of rest.. Im back in action!! hahaha.. in fact i nvr did left lah.. was always "actioning" my own mini drama serial.. haha.. while i was tryin to log in from home to blog on Monday.. my home pc failed me again! the modem lah.. always haywire one.. lousy!
i watched the Departed, my only movie in the long break.. its the remake of my Tony Leung ( I adore Him!) & Andy Lau's Infernal Affairs.. verdict? eh.. okie lah.. I think Jack Nicholson's acting was indeed superior.. kinda shine to me.. as for the storyline.. its almost the same as the Chinese version so dont expect too much.. Leonardo DiCaprio is still good.. but I "hiam" Matt Damon not "mean" enough.. Its a remake.. so i stil think original is slightly better.. 150 mins show (longlong) with big casts.. stil considered worth-watchin..
Shopping was inevitable for me in long breaks lah.. but nothing much worth mentioning from my shoppin trips.. was lookin for my new bed from IKEA but havent decided upon one yet.. low budget so look around for alternatives for awhile more first..
the rest of the time i spent "unmeaningfully" watching Dvds.. its only my second or third? korean show - My Lovely Sam Soon.. im not into Korean dramas actually so I only choose funnier light-hearted ones..
i was kinda looking forward to watch it in the past but could nvr be in time to catch it from Channel U.. luckily now with the dvds, i can work in my own sweet pace.. I can marathon with Sam soon & gang!.. This kinda story line always appeal to me.. i mean with a main female Character that is plump, clumsy but witty yet super-candid (like me! =P).. down-to-earth and direct.. someone like Bridget Jones. Of coz i did like it.. plus she's a real comedian siah & quite talented.. so i watched until quite "song".. I fell for the main male lead character as well.. her boss in the show lah.. coz he's got "enduring" looks.. not strikingly handsome but the more u see, the more suave he appears type.. i prefer his character inside den the other "Henry".. becoz the Henry is too typically model-y handsome (like the Barbie Doll Ken, u know?) & nice.. so far-fetch.. unrealistic! I haven't finished the whole Sam soon serial yet.. jus a lil more to go.. im fast hor..
other things blog later.. gotta do my paper work first.. im always drowned by my paperwork in office.. argghhh..
bye for now

VivoCity Opening on 7 Oct!
Weekend was basically spent doing 3 things.. 1) Go VivoCity check it out on its opening. 2) Watch Jackie Chan's Rob-B-Hood. 3) Do my hair.
Conclusion: Louis Koo is still drop-dead gorgeous.. haha.. I've always like handsome guys acting comedy roles.. The more exaggerated-wacky role, the merrier! Therefore I liked it.. Thumbs up! somemore the typical jackie fighting scenes were more realistic this time round.. and with an angelic-cutie-babyboy involve.. the movie is quite enjoyable & entertaining..
but im weird lah.. with alot of funny dialogues & scenes to be picked , I think the funniest is when the traffic police checkpoint snap shots of the speeding villains & the person holding the guns said: "im holdin a gun, quick flee la! waiting for prize ceremony meh?" me the weirdo think this prize awarding part is damn hilarious..
Oh ya.. VivoCity is huge!!.. Larger than Taka, think Taka plus Wisma.. Larger than Suntec and even Marina Square.. only 60% of the stores were open.. so when I was there, my life was almost endangered!.. haha.. becoz i was famished.. and the only few food providers opened were Sushi Teh & Pacific Coffee Company.. couldnt find any food and the Sushi Tei queue actually needed 1 hr! I almost fainted but luckily, with my last conserved energy, while we made our way to try to walk (i almost can crawl le) to World Trade Centre to find anything edible to fill my empty grouchy stomach, we found the Tangs Studio cafe!.. a lil cafe which saved my life in the middle of nowhere! (the smoked salmon spag is the best I've eaten so far!.. mayb becoz im famished la) .. Later on which i learnt, we can actually walked to the linked HorbourFront Centre which have lots of common yummy food in it.. so friends, pls dont be like me! Starved & no energy to walk in the big mall at all! Go Harbourfront Center fill up first!
Back to the stores in Vivo, take a look in the Directory, Everything was there!.. I mean almost Every brand!.. Interesting names to me would be the NafNaf store, Gap store, Principles store.. and in case if these dont appeal to u.. the traditional stores like Levis, A/X, Domanchi, MANGO, ZARA, M)phosis, Topshop are all in the mall too!!.. ALOT ALOT loh!!.. let's say only for the sports apparel brands alone.. already have: Adidas, PUMA, NIKE, FILA, Nautica, Kappa, Converse , Everlast stores are all inside!!! isnt it fasicinating!?!! Oh ya, there's even a Daiso store there! yey! Basically whatever brand u can think of, it should be in there lah.. even if not there, substitutes can be found.. Im definitely going to enjoy going there after the shops are fully open & renovated..

I was reading this email & it kinda touched me.. too long so i jus post half of it. its the 3rd lesson that touched me really.. although i think i may have read it b4 sometime ago, but the 3rd lesson still attracts me.. here we go...
Five (5) lessons to make you think about the way we treat people.
1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.
During my second month of college, our professorgave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious studentand had breezed through the questions until I read the last one:"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall,dark-haired and in her 50's, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last questionblank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade."Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers,you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you dois smile and say "hello." I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned hername was Dorothy.
2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain
One night, at 11:30 P.M., an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car hadbroken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generallyunheard of in those conflict-filled 1960's. The mantook her to safety, helped her get assistance andput her into a taxicabShe seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down hisaddress and thanked him. Seven days went by and aknock came on the man's door. To his surprise, agiant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached.. It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highwaythe other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away... God bless you for helping me and unselfishly servingothers." Sincerely,Mrs. Nat King Cole.
3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those who serve.
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water infront of him."How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked."Fifty cents," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled is hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it."Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient."Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream," he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the icecream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies.. You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.
Aww.. awfully sweet boy ya? I jus hope everyone else is as honest & nice as him.. dont always assume other pple are out to hurt/ cheat u and be so defensive.. dont complicate things when it can be purely simple.. spread some love as well as and dont always expect anything in return..
