One Day

The storyline goes like this: (shamefully extracted from the website with a bit add-on from me)

Emma (Anne Hathaway) and Dexter (Jim Sturgess) meet on the night of their university graduation. They supposed to have one night stand however it didn't turn out that way and they become a good friend. Their anniversary date - 15th July. Through the years, they grow apart as their lives take different direction and they meet other people. But as they grow apart from those other people and their lives start taking opposite directions again, Emma and Dexter find that they actually belong with each other.

My humble thought:

The first question came across me after watched the film is W.H.Y.??? Why? Why?!!! Why are they spending 20 years to find their love for each other? Why are they wasting their time on other people and end up, they are actually belong with each other? Okay, I would put the blame on Dexter as he is a womanizer and he didn't realize that he is actually fall in love with Emma. They are such a good friend. Being there for each other. They even can sleep together without "anything" happened. They do not feel awkward at all. Amazing friendship. I love it. But to find such opposite gender friend is difficult in the reality. Either you will get dumped by your bf/gf or getting tear into pieces by his/her gf/bf. Is normal. I also hard to accept his 'so called' best girl friend if they are so close like Emma and Dexter. *shrug*

So the ending? I didn't want to be a spoiler. But I bet that whoever has watched this film will have the same feeling as mine. Why are they wasting their 20 years searching for love while their love is just right beside them? So take a look at the "friend" beside you first. He/she might be the one. *wink* (For those already married, don't look anymore!)

New Image

I have abandoned my blog for more than a month. As usual, I am kinda busy with my own stuff lately.

Changed my blog image to blue color this time. No more pink or green color. Kinda fed up with those colors. Blue represented my emotion right now. I am blue = moody. No more colorful font tab or fancy stuff. Everything just back to basic and .... simple. I guess I am facing some late 20's crisis. Lolzzz. Seriously, I am. I felt emo most of the times.

Sigh. A busy month for me - writing reports for Annual Report, preparing meetings' stuff and rush to meet the deadline. I ranted a lot. In fact, I never stopped my ranting and complaining. Damn, not a good sign. Sounds like a grudge woman. I should learn to control myself from doing that.

- 'Post Office Theme' -

Some of my Instagram photos. All these snapshots were taken at Taoyuan International Airport Departure Hall. It was one of the waiting room that was designed into 'post office' with a historical timeline and 'antique' post office stuff.

Authentic??

It had been extremely long I did not touch my blog. I was kinda fed up with it because I have found other better entertainment such as Instagram. At least I don’t have to come up with ideas on what to blog and checking my poor grammar. *shrug*

Anyway, there’s a dissatisfaction feeling inside me that I have to let it out somewhere. So shamefully, yes, I was going to blog it here. I heard of something which I find it quite offensive and “insulting” my hard work. My mum blurted it out to me incidentally, which I understand that she was keeping it from me with a good intention. It was not a big deal, really. Okay, here’s what I heard. Some relatives were questioning on my graduation photo. Their question was did I really graduated? Was my certificate authentic? See, no big deal right? I truly understand on their query to my certificate. Is not because I was not qualified. By looking at my graduation photo framed beautifully on the wall, I would question as well. Because I was holding a “fake” certificate that was made up of A4 size paper. There was an explanation to it. I took the studio graduation photo a few days earlier than my actual graduation day. So it explained. I haven’t obtained my real certificate roll. Why I took the photo so early? Because I have to go back hometown after my graduation day so it left me no time to go and take those studio photos. Okay, I was so anxious and content till I couldn’t wait on the day itself. It was my first time, what. I didn’t know there was a certificate roll until I got it on graduation then I realized something missing in my photos. Too late, right. I was a poor student so I couldn’t manage to pay another amount to shoot another roll of graduation photos.

Sigh. I felt insulted with their question because first, it clearly showed that they were looking down at me (I am okay with it or should I say I have gotten used to it) and secondly, did they understand what hardships and setbacks I had went through during pursuing my degree? It was like a hell to me. I was in a depression state. How many times I had thought of giving up? I admitted that I was not a born-smart person. But I had tried and study so hard for it. The lecturers were so damn arrogant and looking down on people like me. Heaps of assignments, projects, presentations and exams. A nightmare to me! I was having insomnia during those days. So how can they judge me like that? Even till today, they still were judging me that I was only doing an “admin” work in an office. “A very simple and easy job”. wtf.

I am doing an admin/secretarial work but it was not an easy job. Oh my, do I have to explain in details on what I did? Even if I told, you people wouldn’t understand what is my job scope as well. In a simpler way, I was handling all the documents related to listing since our company is a public listed and my work is 'private and confidential' because it was related to the whole group of companies. Something like I know when to get the bonus and how much is the bonus given beforehand. Issue like acquisition of a company, shares or bla bla bla. I was serving those Directors, arrange for the board meeting, annual general meeting and whatsoever they need. It was a stress and pressure work too. Sometimes I just fed up with people judging me without better understanding including my relatives and friends. I didn’t have that fate to live luxuriously and everything goes smoothly with golden spoon on my mouth. I didn’t have a good brain. I didn’t graduate with a first class honour or excellence grade. But I really, really, really worked so hard for them. At least, God hears my prayer and did let me graduate with Second class honour, get me a good job with a not-so-bad salary. I was able to live well, eat well and dress well although is not lavish. I live humbly, talk humbly and smile humbly and that doesn’t mean that you people can judge me like that. Wtf.

Conclusion is my graduation certificate is authentic!!!! Don’t force me to frame my ‘certificate’ on the wall for you people to see! I didn’t have that much money to buy the ‘certificate’. I proudly obtained it with my hard works and ‘smartness’. Damn~

Colorful Macaroon!

Yeah! Yeah! It's Macaroon~

So happy to see the macaroon. Because of its colorfulness. Finally I can lay my mouth on it after looking at its photos on the net and heard about it for months. I have been so curious on how it taste like actually despite of its beautiful colors.

RM2.50 per pcs bought from Hilton Hotel, Kuching. Oh my god, it's too sweet! I am a 'sweet' eater also can't stand its sweetness. So can you imagine how sweet it is?! Hmmm I really didn't find any special about it. It doesn't taste yummy too~

I have abandoned my blog for months because I am lazy and sick. No idea what had gotten into me causing me tiredness and my face is covered with 'acnes' and redness. My face looks tired and pale. I got a very deep dark circles and eyebags under my eyes. I didn't feel good and look good. I have try all the methods or prescription but to no avail. So I am giving up. On the other hand, I have lost weight as well. Not sure this is a good or bad sign. I can wear those pretty and S size clothes but my face really....fugly! Guess there is a gain and a loss~

This year gonna end soon. How time flies! My no.1 resolution this year is to shed some kilos. And I managed to achieve it in the last month of the year! So what is my new year resolution? No idea. I am so tired to use my brain to think. My energy is drained out. I am getting old. The work and life pressure and stress really making me feel so old. Life still goes on no matter how I complaint and hate it. This is life!

I should just go for a holiday, maybe.

Immortals

Immortals. Hmmmm. I am still thinking of what to write for my review on this movie. Something similar to 300, the movie. Crap! Of course it looks similar to 300 because same producers what~

The plot is about a mortal man, Theseus chosen by the Zeus to fight against the ruthless king, Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) who is on a rampage across Greece to obtain the bow that can unleash the Titans and destroy humanity. The story ends. So there are lots of macho men, nicely build and tone body (drooling~). What I liked most in the movie is their God, Zeus and its other Goddess like Athena, Poseidon, Heracles and etc. They looked so cool! Wait, guess there is a sequel for this movie too. The story will be talking about Acamas, son of Theseus and Oracle.

Well, as guessed, all the "sexy", flesh and bloody disgusting parts were censored in the cinema. So yeah, you don’t get the chance to see all that juicy parts but still there are blood, fighting and heads flying off scenes. For female viewers, we can still enjoy the man’s tone body in the movie and sorry for the male viewers as there are no pretty ladies in it except Freida Pinto. I personally think that she is not pretty. Hmmm.

So the movie is either too good or too bad. It just hang somewhere in the middle. It lacks of something which I can’t find out what is it or where is it. The first half session is kinda boring, I would say. Just watch it when you really can’t find any good or blockbuster movie on the list.

Additional note which is unrelated to Immortals. I saw the trailer of Twilight: Breaking Dawn part 1. OMG, it looks so good and interesting! I am anticipated for its screening.

Niece's Birthday Celebration Dinner

On the last Sunday, we were celebrating my niece, Eugenia’s 2 years old birthday and the full moon of my second niece, Baby Euthalia. Weird name, huh! Well, my brother and his wife like the name so much and I wonder why.

Again, my same old favourite phrase. Time flies. Eugenia has grown up so much. All of a sudden, I miss her baby look and the way she crawls or looking at me innocently with her big round eyes. Now she is getting very naughty and keeps running here and there. Seriously, I was attacked by her numerous times. I should claim the medical fees from my brother. Her daughter is way too naughty and tricky! But still looks adorable at times and she’s very clever. When she knows that we are angry with her, she will pretend to be an adorable girl and call us with her sweet and innocent tone. She never fails to get what she demands. Kids nowadays….~

My family and I do admit that we show less affection towards the second born. After all, Eugenia is the first born baby and grandchild in our family so it’s normal that we adore her more in the first place. Now I understand why they will say the characteristic/personality for the first born, second born or middle child and the youngest one are different. I was a second born too but because the first born is my brother so I believe my grandparents and parents love us both that time. One boy and one girl. Balance gender in the family. So did my two younger brothers. There is 4-5 years old age gap between me and them. They are lucky to have brother and sister to adore them as well!

Alright, back to the topic. We were having dinner at Kingwood Hotel, one of the reputable hotels in this small town. The dishes look yummy except that there are number of dishes I couldn’t consume due to my sickness. Some quick snapshot of the dishes (sorry for the poor quality) as they are too eager to eat and couldn’t wait for me to finish my photos snapping.
