Boring

I dragged myself out of my bed at 9a.m because I have to go for my medical checkup today. The HR person had resent me the authorized form else, I would have done that anytime during the weekday. Nevertheless, this is my FIRST medical checkup. So I had to go thru the measurement of my height and weight, do a color test, check on my eye sights, give them my urine samples, xray and worse of all, drawing of my blood. Ok, as far as I am concern, I think this is the first time the doctor draw my blood. And it’s really pain. And the doctor asked “why are you scare of pain?”, I was quite speechless at that moment because I think it’s a norm to be scare of big fat needles. I had to drink 1 whole bottle of mineral water to get my urine sample. When I was done with everything it was almost 12noon! Damn.

I reached home, watched youtube and then Teck Yong called me around 1.30p.m and jio me down for a last minute singing session. Wanted to jio Darling also since she jio-ed me on Friday but I decided against it because it was really too last minute. So we met up at Clementi Kbox (Ivan and Wei Xiong was there too) and realized their rooms are filled up and the next available will be 5.30p.m. So we decided to go somewhere else that’s taman jurong’s Partyworld. Nothing much. No pretty pictures to show off. I realized my world is revolved around watching movies, singing and drink coffee. Else maybe I will just cam whore a bit. I want my life to be more exciting leh. How? I really miss those times when I just hang out with a bunch of people doing nothing but still having fun and most importantly, I love to go out early and head back home late and tired. But… that doesn’t happen to me leh. Sometimes I really missed going out with Jin Jie & his friends. Because I think they are funny people to hang out with. But sadly, we don’t do that anymore.

Slumdog Millionaire

What would you do during your free time? For me, it’s very straight forward. Accompany my lil’ sister to JP to buy some stuffs (like boxes of tissue papers, air refresher and what every girls needs during that period of the month, yes, PADS). And if someone asked me if they want to meet up for dinner and then movie, I agreed. So after shopping with my sister, I meet up with Sze Tien since Edwin is going home for dinner. Had dinner @ Benten and then booked the tickets online since we couldn’t reach Kean Lee at that point of time. Yes, I went to watch movie again. And guess what? This is 3rd movie for this week.

Slumdog Millionaire” is what I watched today. I have been wanting to watch this movie when I first saw the trailer. And I am not that racist lah, why miss out a good movie just because it’s by some ‘bollywood’ actress/actor? The director is a BRITON by the way. Whatever it is, I shall talk more about this movie before I am side tracked. =]

The movie is about a boy named Jamal who grows up with his brother Salim. Their mother was killed in a hindu-muslim riot. And then Jamal commented that the little girl who followed them will be the 3rd musketeer. They were ‘resued’ by Maman (who uses the children he picked up on streets to beg) and thinks he’s God sent. One night, Salim was ordered to bring Jamal in to make him a better singer (blind) so that he will get more money. They escaped from Maman and Salim purposely let go Latika’s hand. After a few years, Jamal decided to go back to Mumbai to look for Latika and found out that she is a brothel and training to be a dancer/prostitute. When they tries to escape but was stopped by Maman. Salim took out a gun and killed him. They went to seek refuge and Salim went to Javed wanting to work for him. After that he claimed Latika for his own. Then, Jamal and Latika was separated once more. Jamal then work as a teaboy in a call centre which he then looked for Latika and Salim’s whereabout. Jamal got in contact with Salim (who invites his brother to live with him) found Latika when he tailgating Salim. Jamal urged Latika to leave with him but was rejected. Jamal then inform Latika that he will wait for her at the train station everyday at 5p.m until she comes. On the 1st day, she came to meet Jamal but was caught by Salim and gang (who then slashes her face to scare her). Jamal then appear in “Who wants to be a millionaire” because he knew that Latika will be watching. Jamal uses the last lifeline and calls his brother’s cellphone which was then picked up by Latika. They did not know the last question’s answer but Latika told him that she believe it’s written. Then Jamal won 20 million Rupees and caught up with Latika. And of course the movie ends with the usual bollywood dance.

Rating: 4.5/5

Nice! Should really watch it if you have not done so. Of course, I didn’t write everything about the movie down here otherwise it will be pointless right?

I bumped into people whom I have not seen for ages! Oh my. First I bumped into Ray while I was having dinner with Sze Tien. Then while walking, I bumped into Chun Wei whom I have not seen for ages! And the last person I bumped into was Weikang. So fun because I don’t usually bump into so many people at JP at all. I know why! Because JP looks bigger now. I mean after the extenstion, there is definetely more reasons for you to go JP because there is a 24hrs fairprice xtra which is now my favourite place! Haha, and most importantly, JP has got almost everything you need! What more are you asking more? And I finally know why my netbook is more expensive after doing some research. It’s because I have a graphics card ok (nVidia GeForce 9300M GS which is switchable to the intel built in graphics card) which is not found in other cheaper netbook. I have a HDMI port which is not available in most netbook. 2 years international warranty. 3 USB ports. Whatever lah. Just stop saying my netbook is EXPENSIVE.

Ok lah, it’s almost time for me to sleep because I have to wake up early for my medical check up before I start working next week. Ciaos!

Updates

Ok, I think I am so lag in updating the movies I have watched for the past few weeks. And of course, I have been watching during my leisure time because it’s the cheapest entertainment I can find. Whatever it is, I watched a few movies over the few weekends. So perhaps, I can share with you what’s nice and what’s not.

I will start with “The curious case of Benjamin Button” by Brad Pitt. This story is about a baby who was born in a body of 85 years old. And when everyone thinks he’s dying soon, he gets younger and stronger each day! He got closed with a girl named Daisy whose grandmother was living in the nursing home. And he decided to work for a term long at the tugboat with Captain Mike (which Daisy told Benjamin to send her postcards from everywhere) and during their free time, Captain Mike brought him to brothels and pubs. While Daisy became a very successful dancer along the way. And she was very upset when Benjamin fell in love with a British woman who was married but continues to have an affair with him. After that Benjamin meets up with Daisy again, this time after Daisy met up with an accident ending her career in dancing. They did not get married officially, bore a daughter whose name was Caroline and Benjamin who believes that he can’t be the burden for Daisy decided to leave. He came back looking for Daisy as a youth. And on the day he passed away, he became a baby in Daisy’s arm.

Rating: 3.5/5 stars

The movie itself is long, and you might think it’s draggy because after all the whole movie is just about Benjamin Button’s unusual life. Of course, the summary is not everything, because it will be too much details if I were to write it here. So watch it for yourself.

Next, “Valkyrie” by Tom Curise. The movie setting is in World War II. Focusing on July 20, 1944 ploted by the Germans to assassinate Adolf Hilter and to use Operation Valkyrie national emergency plan to take control of the country. Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg became the mastermind in planning the assassination of Adolf Hilter. He plants the bomb in the meeting with Adolf Hilter and leave the scene before the bomb exploded. And have activated the Operation Valkyrie and was in the process of taking over Germany and most importantly Berlin. As night falls, the rumor death of Adolf Hilter was cleared when he addressed the nation via radio. And the operation was failed and the people who are involved in this operation was arrested and shot to death.

Rating: 3.5/5

It’s a real life story. How many people have the courage to assassin someone who great powers (let’s not mention the poor presidents who got assassinated during visits to somewhere else.. because for some reasons, it’s seems much more easier to assassinate the president in the past than assassinating Adolf Hilter.) and the best thing is, it’s so hard to kill him even though he’s so near. Whatever it is, I am so glad that WWII is OVER.

And the next movie we talk about will be “Bride Wars” by Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway. The movie is about 2 young girls became best friends and swore to have their wedding at The Plaza. And now that they are in their late 20s, their boyfriends proposed making them realized that they are closer in fulfiling their dreams. Now things turned out bad because the wedding planner made some mistakes and thus making their wedding on the same day. Not willing to give in, the friendship between them turned sour. So, they came up with ideas to make themselves look the best on their wedding day and of course, they tried to sabotage each other’s plan to look good. On the wedding day itself, Anne Hathaway decides that her boyfriend loved her old self and attends Kate Hudson’s wedding. The movie ends with Anne Hathaway married to Kate Hudson’s brother.

Rating: 3/5

It’s a girlie show lah. But it doesn’t turn out to be as funny as I thought it will be. Teck Yong says it’s not realiztic because girls won’t just be best friend again in just spilt seconds. Perhaps he’s right. Haha. Perhaps if I were to quarrel with my best friend some day, I don’t know when I will be talking to them. Like, I wasn’t very happy about the Partyworld incident, I haven’t really been talking to the girls. So broken hearted can? =[ Their MSN buddy isn’t me.

Next movie will be “Outlander“. Ok, this is a sci-fi movie. Quoted from Cathay: During the reign of the Vikings, Kainan (Caviezel), a man from a far-off world, crash lands on Earth, bringing with him an alien predator known as the Moorwen. Though both man and monster are seeking revenge for violence committed against them, Kainan leads the alliance to kill the Moorwen by fusing his advanced technology with the Viking’s Iron Age weaponry.

Rating: 2/5

It looks like an human (an alien look alike human) came from an unknown world a.k.a outer space, whose space ship crushed into earth. And what makes it worse was the space ship brought an alien predator which looks like a dinosaur that GLOWS. Outrageous it looks to me. Totally crap. And I think I am good enough to give it 2 stars.

And all the movies, I watched with Teck Yong. Haha. He’s my singing kahkis + pool kahkis + movie kahkis. But I’m definetely not his bowling kahkis because I am super lousy at that.

I have finally catch the movie “He’s just not that into you” today with Sue. Have been wanting to watch this movie since last week and I think Teck Yong might not be too interested to watch this with me (i personally thinks this is a very girlie movie) but I know he will still watch it with me if I really want. =] Nevertheless, the movie is about girls (or women) looking for love. Their motto: it’s either we married or we break up.

When a guy told you “it’s nice meeting you” and doesn’t calls back, he’s not interested in you.

When a guy told you “what’s the best that happens to me today is me knowing you” and you exchanged name cards during happy hour, he’s not interested in you.

If a guy is truly interested in you, he will take whatever it takes to date you out.

Ahhhh, so sweet isn’t it? The movie is indeed a bit too long. It’s 2 hrs without realizing. Oh my. But the story line, I think it’s kinda predictable.

Rating: 3/5

Asus N10 Netbook



Ok, I know I am impulsive again. But what’s a life without a decent laptop besides always having to share the only laptop with my lil’ sister, I feel that I can’t do much at all. Ok, besides using it for facebook, I have other use for laptops also ok? Like checking emails, doing some research on stuffs. And this time round, because of budget constraint, I bought a Asus N10 series NETBOOK. Yea, the purpose of me purchasing it, so that I can do my usual stuffs during my leisure time. =] And below is the specs for this NETBOOK.

Processor 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270
Memory 1GB, 533MHZ DDR2
Hard drive 160GB 5,400RPM
Chipset Intel 945GSE
Graphics 256MB Nvidia GeForce 9300M GS [switchable with integrated Intel GMA 950]
Operating System Windows XP Home
Dimensions (WD) 276 x 195mm
Height 37.1mm
Screen size (diagonal) 10.2 inches
System weight / Weight with AC adapter 1.4kg/1.9kg
Category Netbook

Don’t compare it with other notebook, because this is definetely not as good. It’s pre-loaded with Windows XP Home. 10.2 inches screen. I mean, I can’t ask for more because I only bought it for $950. Don’t ask me WHY I got so much money to buy, because I am paying installments for this netbook. LOL. This is better than I have nothing to use at all. I will soon get a decent desktop for more complicated usage, once I paid up everything for this netbook. =]

Officially employed

Ok, I am officially employed now! I went down to PSB Acadamy HQ to sign my contract just yesterday.

It’s a PERMANENT position. With not too bad benefits. I am sure I am going to fit in this whole picture. And I am starting work on the coming Monday! How exciting. And I just received a phone call from my NEW boss. LOL. I will have to report to the HQ (1 Science Park Drive) on Monday and according to my new boss, I had a new colleague who joins the company the same day as me. Whatever it is, I am just too excited and looking forward for next week.

After signing the contract, I met up with my lil sister and we head to Borders @ Wheelock Place. After that we head towards Taka and Heeren while waiting for Amy. It was a random meet up because my dear friend feels like having Sakae Sushi and I had that craving for days I think. We had fun chatting over dinner and then we head to ‘hunt’ for some cosmetics. And guess what? I saw my EX BOSS IRWIN TAN at Tangs Orchard. He was walking past me when suddenly he walks back and say “Hey Jaymee LEE”. LOL. Oh well, he always calls the wrong surname, what to do right? This is so funny. And then we went to Centrepoint and bought the things we needed and we rest our feets @ McCafe. It’s nice catching up with old friends. We have endless topics though we have not met up for so long. Ah, kinda looking forward for the next meet up.

**********************************
I had some unpleasant dreams for a few nights. And it bothers me. For some reasons, Jin Jie appears in my dreams too. What dreams was it, I can’t remember at all. And one of my dreams, I even dream that my family forsake me for whatever happened. And this really makes me cry. Not that I want to remember these dreams, but it’s making me rather upset.

What surprises me was, Jin Jie actually wrote encouragment message on my status when I got very depressed and tired from hunting a job. And of course, a lot of people gave me encouragements, I just didn’t think he will. And when I got a job, he came and congrats me. I should stop thinking about this.

JTPS 1997 Classmate Feb Chalet

Just came back from the Primary School Classmate chalet on Sunday!

It’s a 3 days 2 nights chalet by the way. And the first night was totally buang because I didn’t bring my mini mahjong and everyone (5 of us, Rina, Kiat, Wei and Quan) was bored. Kiat arrived at 11plus and before that we were so bored till we login to our MSN and MSN each other pretending. Haha. After that, we decided to play some dai dee (as usual lah, what’s chalet without dai dee?) and so, loser drink loh. For some reasons, I think I am very suay (with Wei beside me. LOL) so I had a few rounds of the disgusting alcohol (Vodka Ruby Red) brought by Wei. =S We went to NTUC to buy our food for Saturday’s BBQ.
A game of dai dee and Quan trying to do his work

Our shopping bagsss! And silly us, Downtown East got NTUC loh. -.-”

And the 2nd day is much more better. We woke up @ 12plus and dragged ourselves out for lunch and we discovered that downtown east has got a Kbox, Cathay and NTUC. Hahaha. We went to Streets for lunch and then we went to buy the charcoal needed for the BBQ in the evening. After that we went back to the chalet and nua. I am sure damn suay, while I was walking back to the chalet with Yuan Wen, i tio bird shit. Whatever. And then the guys start preparing the BBQ pit and get the fire started. And then Wei Li, Zhaffi and Hui Ting arrived making the chalet more crowded. =D And the night falls, the girls watched “Wo Cai” while the guys sit outside and play dai dee. LOL.

Nua-ing @ the chalet.

The food!


The fire starter and Rina trying to contribute.

Us watching TV and eating satays. Not bad leh.

Out of the 9 people who came to the chalet, 4 uses NokiaE71. See how popular the phone is now?
Yuan Wen, Rina, Choon Kiat and Mine.

And Kiat pours the vodka like nobody business.

Drink it all~

The long time no see friend.




And the 3rd day, we have to pack up, and each of us vomited in the middle of the night. LOL. Drank too fast. =| Whatever it is, I am sure we did have fun in the chalet. =]

Updates

Ok, time for me to upload some pictures to my already very boring blog which I can only do some update when I am using my lil’ sister’s laptop. What a life I am having now? Shall not complain much since I do have a laptop to use once a day.

Ok, the pictures that you are going to see are rather outdated (taken from Chinese New Year) till the most recent ones. =]

On the 27th Jan, Darling, William (her bf) and Rebecca came over to my house to see my lil niece, Alyssa. And of course, the mahjong session lah! Hahaha. While Rebecca is the biggest winner on the mahjong table, my dad lose quite an amount of money on another table of mahjong (sounds like we are opening a gambling den, but mahjong-ing is what we do during our free time). After that, it’s dinner time! Steamboat. Yes. The table was very crowded (which is good, because it’s always crowded). And after dinner time, it’s time to take some pictures. And the 3 of us (Rebecca and Alicia) went to Boat Quay for some entertainment since we don’t have to work the next day. We were crapping over there while enjoying our drink.

It’s a bad hair day loh. WTH.

Taken at the pub. For some reasons, people like to hide their face behind me. -.-

The Girls

On the 8th Feb, I met up with Evelyn, Peili and Eric along with my lil sis to Partyworld. And I was actually fuming because the girls are late. Evelyn was still having steamboat when I called her @ 7pm. And Peili went to have dinner without calling me because she knew Evelyn’s gonna be late. And at that point of time, I realized these people doesn’t spare a tot for me. So, me and my lil sis went to book a room and start singing first while the girls came in after 8.30p.m. *FUMING AGAIN* And they were actually talking among themselves, singing among themselves and walking in and out the room themselves. It was as if me and my lil sis wasn’t there at all. Evelyn’s bf couldn’t come in just because his cashcard doesn’t have enough amount. So she has to leave earlier @ 10plus. Ok, I wasn’t too happy about her bf. And then, a minute after Evelyn left, Peili packed up her bag and left too. Looking very shocked, so I asked her if she’s leaving too and she just “yea, I need to look after Hugo (her dog).”. NONE of them asked me anything or told me anything. NONE. I was singing my fav song for 30 secs and I realized I didn’t have the mood to sing anymore, so we left too. This time round, I was really fuming. They shouldn’t have asked me out if they are going to ignore me. WTH. And Peili just told me that she and Evelyn THINKS that I don’t want to come along. Ok, then what’s the purpose of my pressence? Whatever it is, I had a very disappointing night.

On 14th Feb, I met up with Teck Yong for moowee @ Cineleisure. And as usual, he was late. We are not out to celebrate the Valentine’s Day because by the time we meet up it’s already 11plus at night. After knowing him for so long, doesn’t he realized that I don’t enjoy waiting for people? And each time I have to wait for him. He told me that very night that actually he doesn’t like to wait for people and doesn’t like people to wait for him. Oh well. Speechless I am. Anyhows, we went to Cineleisure and realized the timeslot for the movie is filled up thus we left with no choice, we bought the 0310hrs tickets for “Bride Wars“. After that, we went to have a few rounds of pool. And I must admit that I do not have the mood for pool because I was feeling hungry.
Well, and of course there are so many couples there. I think even in the cinema itself it’s filled with couples. And Teck Yong asked me how I feel when I see girls holding bouquet of flowers. What else can I feel right? No fate with Valentine’s Day. I remember going singing with Evelyn on Valentine’s Day last year. I remember quarrelling with Jin Jie before and on Valentine’s Day last year.. Else, we could have celebrated many Valentine’s Day ahead. Oh well. What a past to remember. Whatever it is, I enjoyed Teck Yong‘s accompany. After that we took train home. Loves
Then, afternoon time came and I was still sleeping when Alyssa came. Poor baby. She’s sick. Hope she gets well soon. I want to see a bubbly her. =]

And I told myself 101 times that I will get over whatever Jin Jie did to me soon. I know I will.
And I hope to get a job soon. Because it’s so boring to stay at home doing nothing. =[ Call me SOON pls! I want to work!
