after 10 whole episodes of hana kimi, 呱呱 finally appeared on the 11th one.



for a mere 3seconds.



isnt that a big waste? 呱呱 leh. and jus 3seconds of him. and not a single dialogue. hahaha. so waste can.



um. 呱呱 was from 棒棒堂 but left some time ago to concentrate on his studies. eh. it's highly unlikely for u to watch taiwan tv and not noe bang bang tang lah. or at least the 6 chosen ones who had jus released an album under lollipop.




and i think i've settled down for arts, media and design. for the past few mths im still in the joking joking mode. but now, i think that's wat i really wan.

eh. i only noe the first few songs. cos i cant get past the first few levels for mario. ): hahaha.

it's almost the end of the mth which means that i've almost worked for a mth. and the money i've gotten is only enough for air tickets and accommodation, no money to spend yet. hais. big news today, or maybe it's yesterday lah, but beatrice xu passed away after getting into a car accident. so sudden. i didnt noe abt this yday, it was only today when the people in my company talked abt it then i knew. omg. it's very sudden.

and. there was shuang xiong yday for the 9pm chinese movie. which marks the end for the jan blockbuster, a whole series of cat chase mouse genre of movies. running out of time I and II, yesterday once more and yday's heroic duo. it was my 3rd time watching and only till yday did i noe francis ng got act in that show. hahaha. but he died quite badly. engulfed in flames. tsk tsk. such a convenient way for a baddie to die lah. i bet the script writer lazy to think of a glam death for the antagonist.

francis ng is normal in that movie lah. and a rather boring character actually. but there was one scene that was very nice. cos leon lai is a hypnotist and his way of hypnotising people was by finding their weakest part (like maybe some bad things that he did, wat makes him guilty or wat makes him the saddest lah) and francis ng's weakest part was that he had no friend. awww. so in the final scene they started telling him 'u are so sad, u got no friend' then francis ng started thinking of his past. that was the nice scene. it was like a scene that kept repeating itself showing francis ng slping in a park then reading a bk and tearing the bk up then him pointing a gun at himself cos he has no friend. wah. that scene damn nice. but the plot was damn bad. haha. i like 'yesterday once more' better. sammi and andy. yay. haha.

and SHE is still in spore!! hahaha. i shd have went bishan yday lah. hais. ella is gonna come and go without seeing me. ): ella!!! hahaha.

and after pondering over zenW or ipodvideo, i've finally made a decision. i wan a psp. if only it has internal memory. it would be great. but still psp is like the best choice among wat i can get for myself(:


broken orange. watch the movie to understand this song(:

and no. francis ng doesnt sound like this. he sounds worse. hahahaha.

hahaha. jus as how jialing said. im back. even before i posted my first post. haaha. blogspot gives so much more freedom to wat i can do with my blog. but. i brought chen daoming back from my new hse. haha.

blog again nxt time(: not now. there's hell tmr. um. i mean work.

shift hse lah.

http://oucie.wordpress.com/

i wanna change phone. lalala. i wanna change phone. my joystick is dying. yay. one excuse for me to change phone without feeling bad. cos this is only my 13th mth and so i have to pay m1 100bucks more to upgrade. but i wanna change phone. talking abt this, this lady in my company used the company phone to call nokia today.

'eh. u all the N95 come already anot? ur website here say got N95 leh. hur. haven ah. when come out? u dunno ah? but in US release liaoz leh. okay loh. bye bye.'

haha. it seems that everyone will make full use of the stuff at the company.

and everyone in my company seem to succumb to slang so easily. cos a few days ago these 3 china ladies came into the office to learn abt operating a company lah. or something like that. they seem to be from the china headquarter. then the whole company started speaking in slang.

any chinese word that came out sounded like a bad bejing slang and every english word that accompanied that chinese word sounded like bad english from taiwan. all of a sudden. hahaha.

and today, this angmoh came and everyone spoke in angmoh-slang. and replacing normal words with cheemer ones. hahaha.

the people there ah.

**sorry jialing. i went to watch one last dance first le. heh. sorry sorry.*

this post had been rotting under draft for 4 whole days. haha. i really wanna blog abt it but im really lazy.

i didnt go into the cinema thinking that this would be a very good show. u read the critic on Today, u wont expect it to be very good. but still i went to watch lah. cos first the trailer was good. second, it's interesting to watch francisng in singapore. like how it's interesting to watch full time killer for the andylau-rafflesplacemrt scene. and for gen x cop for the jump-down-from-raffles-hotel scene.

it was.. a film that had a very good idea. the idea is worth 5stars. the trailer will tell u that this movie is like a puzzle. and each clue is like a jigsaw piece. but i think this jigsaw thing will suit confession of pain better. one last dance is on a higher level. it reminds me of rashomon(actually we all watched this show. u jus dunno the name. it's this 1950 japanese black and white movie that involves this woman, her husband, a woodcutter and a thief. catch some ball eh? we watched it during sec2 for english lesson lah.), becos u somehow see the story from the point of views of the different character. they never make it so obvious like rashomon lah, but u can see that the story telling point changes thru-out the movie.

it's like a many pov cum reverse chronological movie. it's very easy to get lost in the plot. esp the last 40min when there's a huge twist.

so i say. the idea of it is very good. but. it is spoilt by the rest. first, the filming techniques. the scenes were very beautiful - if they had been a commercial. the scenes in the trailer are very attractive but once you have to spend 2 whole hrs lookin at this kind of filming, it gets a little irritating. many of the shots were taken very amateurish. like the panning. and it gets most obvious at the ending scene where vivianhsu was trying to kill the angmoh guy. anyone could have chose a better angle.

and the lousy CGI. the CG blood is so so so fake lah. i prefer the good old blood bag. and i cant stand the scene transitions. it's like they will keep the person in the previous scene, change the background before going into the nxt scene. aiyah. how to explain this. haha.

and the way the story is told. in order to link the whole show tgt they keep having the OS from T which makes the show feel so childish and amateurish.

but i like the acting from the actors. francis ng acted as T(cos his fav drink is tea. hahaha.), a killer, but ultimately a nice guy. he likes to drink tea, likes to play chess and doesnt kill on sundays. haha. killing is his job, not his hobby. when he doesnt kill he's a very nice guy. he is secretly in love with his friend's sister and is a very loyal friend. it's like a very different kind of killer. very innocent yet very professional.

ti lung acted as this policeman but is lazy and 贪小便宜. he is T's friend and plays chess with him lah. actually u wont realise this until the very end.

joseph quek acted as ko. he is the second biggest role in the movie but he dun get a poster on his own. sad right? he's T's friend and a very very noisy friend. everything that T does is becos of him.

the office.

okay lah. im slowly getting used to the working city life and so im not complaining as much nowadays. and also. i found many other people who are like me and hate their jobs. so at least i wont feel so sad.

this morning the lady beside upgraded her ie to 7. and was quite amazed by the new ie. and she got the IT guy in my company to teach her the new stuff. and their conversation were like

lady: 'hey. not bad ah. the new internet'
guy: 'yah. beta that time i already use liaoz. not bad not bad'.

fine loh. must hao lian he got use beta. hahaha. 老娘used mozilla mah. but anw, to discover ie7 today only is quite backward. everyone upgrade ur ie to the 7th edition. and ur msn to windows live messenger 8 or even beta 8.1 and ur wmp to 11 and ur itunes to 7.02. yup(: and to try the vista 60-day trial. if ur comp can take it.

work is piling up on my desk but im not intending to rush. do slowly. and the food at amoy is really good. i spent almost the first 2wks eating lau pat sat food, which is really not nice, and to realise that amoy's food is so much better. and cheaper. mee siam at international plaza tmr(:

war and beauty

i reach home at around 730 everyday so i gave up watching the campus superstar show or shine on you. i like the 9o'clock christopher lee show and war and beauty. and i like sunbaiyang and rufei. haha. cos they are the only ones with character. the gugu is jus plain nice. moses chan is jus the construction worker who likes gugu. erchun only listens to her godfather. and yuying is irritatingly irritating. sinbaiyang yay, rufei yay.


砒霜 - bowie lam, gigi lai

and i read from wiki that yuying will have sunbaiyang's child. eeeeeee. sunbaiyang could have had a better taste. like.. rufei. hahaha. or if ada choi acted as yuying. gigilai reminds me too much of an old friend who slps on office tables. hahaha. u will noe wat im sayin if u noe who im refering to. yup. the office table. hahaha.

took this off from this wk's iweekly. it could have past off with yet another aspiring article on a mediacorp artiste. but. look at this.

the girl on the left is felicia chin lah. wat's interesting is the girl in the midlle. isnt that nicoleong?

er. she is crazy. so she's really wat we heard of her lah. soccer, softball and gymnast.

u noe 不知不觉 this is already the 4th yr since IA3 was shown. i wanna buy the collector's box set!! kinda regret that i didnt buy the hk limited edition one 3yrs ago. i think there is only 2000sets in the world or something like that and it costs 80bucks with 6dvds. that time i tot it was too ex lah. hais hais hais hais hais.

hais. now they are only selling the spore version collector's box set with 3 or 4 dvds at $49.90. hais. shd i buy? but i got the vcd for all and the dvd version on my computer, i jus dun hav the physical thing. but i still wan the 80bucks one!! i think it's on ebay. but. costs US50bucks for the set, US$34 for delivery, US$2 for insurance.

i wan i wan i wan i wan i wan i wan i wan i wan.

from wikipedia the departed article:

During the elevator scene, the camera focuses on the lights in the sign turning to 4th floor. Because, "4" in Chinese rhymes with "death", most buildings in Chinese-speaking countries don't have a fourth floor, due to Tetraphobia. The 4th floor is thus not in the elevator sign in Infernal Affairs. In The Departed, Colin gives up and asks to be killed when the elevator passes the 4th floor.

cool..

found this on the web. and i didnt noe abt all these. haha. wont we be very dirty during new year? better buy my new year clothes early.

Buying a pair of shoes is considered bad luck. The word "shoes" is a homonym to the word for "rough" in Cantonese.
Buying a pair of pants is considered bad luck. The word "pants" is a homonym to the word for "bitter" in Cantonese. (Although some perceive it to be positive as the word 'pants' in Cantonese could be a homonym to the word for "wealth".)
A hair-cut is considered bad luck. The word "hair" is a homonym to the word for "prosperity". Thus "cutting hair" could be perceived as "cutting your prosperity" in Cantonese.
Candy is eaten to ensure the eater a "sweet" year.
Sweeping the floor is considered bad luck, as it will sweep away the good fortune and luck for the new year; as for having a bath will wash away the good fortune.
Talking about death is inappropriate for the first few days of Chinese New Year, as it is considered inauspicious as well.
Buying books is bad luck, because it is a homonym to the word "lose".
Opening windows and/or doors is considered to 'bring in' the good luck of the new year.
Switching on the lights for the night is considered good luck to 'scare away' ghosts and misfortunate spirits that may compromise the luck and fortune of the new year.

我的心内感觉 人生的沉重 不敢来振动
我不是好子 嘛不是歹人 我只是爱眠梦
我不愿随浪随风 飘浪西东
亲像船无港
我不愿做人 奸巧钻缝
甘愿来作憨人

我不是头脑空空
我不是一只米虫

人啊人 一世人
要安怎欢喜 过春夏秋冬

我有我的路 有我的梦
梦中的那个世界 甘讲伊是一场空

我走过的路 只有希望
希望你我讲过的话 放在心肝内

yay. it's yet another wkend. which means i have already worked for 2wks. time flies when u get a little happier. hahaha. okay lah. i'm no longer so unhappy towards my working environment, in fact i think im starting to blend into the whole city area thing.

so in this wk, i..

had an insult from a hongkong woman. hahahaha.

it was quite stupid lah. she called the office and i was supposed to pick up lah.

'good afternoon. *company name*'
'i wan to find ton nee um'
'again?'
'tonnn-neee-ummm'

so i checked the list and realised there was a certain manager that has a name that sounds something like the name she said. but he wasnt around.

'oh. he is currently not around. is there anything i can help u with?'
'i sent a cheque over. i give u the cheque number. chuee-sewen-huai-tooo'
'again?'
'u dun noe english. chuee-sewen-huai-too. u dun noe english. 三七五二'

omg. and it wasnt 'u dun noe english?' question mark. it was 'u dun noe english.' full stop. fine loh. i dunno english. hahahaha.

it actually becomes quite fun to work in the city once u get the norms and all the unwritten rules of working in the city.

1. do not give way to the traffic and the traffic will never give way to u.

no one in the city area waits for the green man to cross, they see no car or the car very slow, they cross. and everyone cross tgt, it's like the power of the crowd. green light so what? 'all of us cross u bang lah, u bang lah, i scared ah.' but the cars are also not lamps that save oil, they pass any red light they see if they have a chance. so in the city, if the green man is like flashing with maybe 10sec left but no one is crossing, u have to cross with caution, the cars there all jus zoom past one. so the rule is always join the crowd when crossing, confirm wont get run over.

2. lunch time: tissue paper is the king.

in the whole city area, everyone has lunch at the same time. and no one can waste time to wait. so once they find seats, they will take out tissue paper and 'chope' place. it's jus an unwritten rule there, u cannot touch any seat with tissue paper. u can see one huge empty table with tissue paper on the seats and u noe u cannot touch that table.

3. move swiftly, think quickly.

no one there waits for u. brisk walk if u can, think of lunch before lunch time to save time. everyone does that, u have to do that too.

although the whole raffles place seem like a concrete jungle with jus offices, it is one place where u can get the nicest food in spore. practically every single resturant has a branch in raffles place/city hall/tanjong pagar, u jus have to know how to find them. and it's not that easy also.

but i still wanna try retail, after march lah. im gonna call up some retail place. (:

some random pictures which are too trivia to have a blog post on their own. so i placed all of them in one blogpost.

u noe along citylink there's this huge nike wall ad opp newyorknewyork? some time ago they had the place covered up to make the ad lah. and the board covering it had some really interesting lines, mostly used to jeer lousy soccer players. and i liked this. L-O-S-E-R.

this ad looks utterly familiar. it's on the metal board kind of thing covering the construction site of the condo near my hse. u noe those pictures they like to put at condo construction sites.

hahaha. saw this box at my company like 2 days ago. so skew lines ah.

these are pictures i posted 1yr ago on hana yori dango. and yay. they are back with season 2. this time they follow the pattern of like having a close-up for each character for the opening song.





omg. the actors actually looked a lot more matured. eee. i like the old ones.

but anw, the show is good. as opposed to meteor garden (wah biang. i cant stand the michelle. even if she is from spore. sigh.), season 2 for hana yori dango is good. it follows the comic very closely and since season1 only had 11eps, season2 of hana hasnt gone into the amnesia part but instead started on tha part where domyoji went to US and he got a fiancée. his fiancée is like a monkey. yak non-stop. hahaha.

gave up on hana kimi long ago. i cannot stand how ella goes '泉~~' hahaha. i like her better in the rose. somehow hana kimi tried a little too hard to be funny and romantic at the same time. 惡作劇之吻 was better.


some time ago taiwan had this movie called 國士無雙 catch and i tot the male lead look extremely familiar.

he's the mei zuo from hana yori dango!!(scroll above to see) haha. he spoke in perfect taiwanese-accented mandarin so much so that he was unrecognisable.

anw, it's a made-in-taiwan movie from the cast and crew of 十七嵗的天空. um. the funny gay show.

像孩子依赖著肩膀 像眼泪依赖著脸庞
你就像天使一样 给我依赖 给我力量

mayday is mayday. they are good.

i cannot stop complaining abt my job. and i complain to anyone i see. hahaha. met rina jus now at the mrt station after work. woa. i haven seen or talked to her since sec2? haha. it's nice to see a friend(young person. ahem.) in the whole adult envrionment and i started complaining how much i hate my job. ahhhhh.

u noe wat's so bad abt this job? it's not that i have nth to do. it's not that i have too much to do. but i hate the hostile environment and i hate the hostile adults. i dun wan to pick up the damn calls. urgh. the temp at my place is gonna quit soon and so it's jus me. again. the temp kinda got a big scolding for quitting and so i guess i cant possibly say i wanna quit now.

and according to them a lot of temp came and went. kinda expected. now i miss my pasar malam job. it's very tedious cos we have to clean the rides ah, have to do stuff that requite strength like carrying stuff lah. and the pay was quite low. but i was at least happy. i like the other kids working there and the neighbourhood feel. i hate the city. during working hours.

1wk down. 7more to go. gambatte. aza aza fighting.

while we have one sequel showing in japan..



we have another one in korea.



no one told me gungS started. hais. but anw, it has only shown until ep2. it doesnt seem as nice from wat the people wear. a lot of gung stuff are retained. but the bear now at the end can move(eee..) and the bumper is less cute.

i love wkends!! cos there's no work on wkends!! yay. and im damn envious of u ong!! read ur blogpost on ur day at work and it is so so so much better than mine. hais. i shd have jus signed up for the sp job right after As and i wont have to suffer all the shit lah.

was supposed to go for the mindef talk today but end up staying at home cos no one else wanna go out. hais. i guess work is making everyone stay at home on wkends.

but for the money. i must hang on. or else no money to go for the taiwan trip.

omg. this show sucks. hahaha. the guy filmed worse than me. seriously. the story telling was bad. the shots were ugly (esp the part where he tried to play with focusing and he jus kept changing the focus to who was talking). i tot the show would be a least not so bad with the nice cast but wah biang. it's so bad i fell asleep watching it.

it's yet another triad show. but this time the focus was on a woman. a young lady to be exact. it's like a cross-over between hk traid shows and those china wen yi films. but cant touch either side of the river bank.

this is one thing that is worth getting excited over.

but the name sucks. iphone. hahaha. the revolutionary phone needs a revolutionary name.

http://www.apple.com/iphone/

i hate my job. i hate my job. i hate my job. i hate my job. i hate my job.

i hate it so much i wake up every single day cursing and swearing. i cannot tahan squeezing with ten thousand adults in the train. i cannot tahan eating at lau pat sat and had to snatch seats with another ten thousand other adults.

and i am stressed up. it took me so long to realise my department is the customer service department and so i had to pick up calls. wat the #@%$!&^ do i noe abt the company? i am only there for 3 days and they expect me to go out and ans any customer enquiry there is. ahhhh. i want to jus 安分守己 and do my filing. hais.

i dun care. they will jus regret getting me to ans the calls.

and now i have to watch war and beauty in order to motivate myself to go to work the nxt day. it's like how the gugu keeps talking abt (as a maid) they do not have choices in life, they have to bare with all the unhappy stuff. and so if they can. so can we. eh. so can i. yes.

another happy thing this wk is that hana yori dango season 2 is out. there's still shan cai, there's still F4. and F4 had graduated.


watch out for toma in ep1.

powered by ODEO

lisen properly and u will hear 爱是永恒, 我的骄傲, Shall We Talk, 爱如潮水, 约定, 神啊救救我, 好心分手 and more. haha.

this was the promo for war and beauty before they actually filmed the show. but a lot was changed lah. even ada choi. she didnt act in war and beauty becos dayo wong wanted her in to catch the uncatchable.



and this is also one of those pre-production promo. if the cast remained, HH3 would be a hit lah.

had our second class chalet. haha. in the middle of like no where. 8, 9, 10 jan. so i guess we would not see anyone there. since at this time everyone else shd starting sch/starting work/starting to slack or something like that. took leave for today and it was a good choice. omg. i didnt regret taking it.

sg missed the first day, we went only yday. ann's job ended at 12, jasmine took leave and so they reached at like 2? i went with ong after work. reached the place at around 730 in time for bbq. it was quite coincidental that we met gplow on the shutter bus to aloha. it started that me and ong were almost late for the bus and may have to wait for the nxt one an hr later if we missed it and so we ran out to chase the bus lah. and we chased a costa sands bus. urgh. we missed the orange aloha bus which was like so near us. and so we went back and gplow was right inside which saw the whole two-of-us-like-siaozatbo-run-towards-costasandsbus-when-aloha's-is-obviously-here scene. hahaha. it was nice to see gplow again, i mean how long hav we seen a familiar adult? and she got a j1 class this yr.

reached aloha and they were already bbq-ing. this time round the food damn little i dunno why. i think it's becos they got a lot a lot of chicken wings and oriental sussages which are like damn ex. so food seemed very little. and chl and klim came too. and omg does klim look like one of us. she's like the model of 'u can get a job and still have a life'. see. u dun need to go into banking to get a life. be a general education officer.[talking abt this, leeliquan is now teaching at a primary sch. hahahaha. it's like omg. mr lee. and u noe in pri schs the teachers paokaliao form teacher, maths teacher, sci teacher, pe teacher kind. poor kids.] ate food here and there but i was quite convinced that i'll get diarrhoea for the food. it's the 2nd diarrhoea in this wk, the previous one due to contaminated root beer. urgh. so im quite glad i took leave today, or else i'll be running to the loo all the time and the loo's like not very near to my desk too.

played our usual chalet games like mahjong, ps2, big2 and bridge. and of course polar bear. it's the best game we can play in a grp. but yday everyone is like either too tired or too bored of the game or jus becos there wasnt forfeit like last yr, so it wasnt as good. slept with ann at around 3am to wake up at 5am cos she and ong were going back to work. will die lah. i reached home, bathe and couldnt control myself and fell asleep. how to go work? i'll jus slp there. i've already decided that after these 2mths im gonna get a student. not temp. but student. like maybe fish&co waitress or i dunno. jus for students kind of jobs. i cannot tahan adult world anymore. adults are so so so so cliqueish and they act like how we are at sch. jus worse.

tada. second assbeefive chalet. not as exciting. but still. it's sb5. so it was good. haha.

there was tony leung. and there was takeshi kaneshiro. and alan mak. and andrew lau.

but the show was really boring.

okay i take back my words. it's a show that has an impact that lasts, not shock. cos with alan mak and andrew lau i was expecting infernal affairs kind of wit and i like how IA explores the human nature. IA will leave anyone who watches it so much new ideas that u will feel like discussing it once you are outside the cinema.

but confession of pain is very very different. it shoves u the feeling. and leaves a deep mark in you. the plot was not not not not scheming. it was like yet another episode of detective investigation files. the case was very simple, the twist was quite expected (esp till the end). but how the truth reveals itself it somehow prompts the audience to think abt human nature and why we choose to this and that.

the whole movie had a very deliberate cheerful mood, which is ironic as the title was confession of pain. everyone in the show seemed happy, have some painful incidents in them and yet are truly happy here and there.

but if i have to say whether it's a sadder ending for liuzhenxi in COP or hau/wong sir/yan in IA, it has to be the latter. the sadness for liuzhenxi is kinda forced. it's like how francisng was saying at the nlb, shows can make u cry due to 2 reasons: one being the actor crying and so u feel like crying too; the second the actor does not cry, instead he appears to be strong and that makes u feel so sad for him. COP is like the first kind and IA the second kind. and the second kind always leaves u feeling sadder.

i like movies becos of how it leaves u a feeling so strong when the credits comes out and u feel like discussing it with someone. it has an impact much stronger than tv shows. but COP doesnt. it's like umm drinking alcohol, the bitter taste isnt very nice but the after effect is very shiok.

"酒为什么好喝，因为它难喝。"

hahahaha. continued from the last post.

actually all these started becos me and felicia cant get the spore pools job. and so. we decided to check them out. and maybe make them employ us after these 2mths.

and sat was 4D day. felicia and me each bought 1buck of 4D while yueyun brought her mum's lot down to check too.

it was like lucky draw lah. haha. they had these 4 containers each containing 0-9. and then the balls will go in circles in the container like in a convection current and one of the number will gain enough momentum to come out.

but it was really boring. and 3 of us jus giggled (softly) through the whole drawing process.

long day and lots of things to blog abt.

chronologically.

yesterday night. bursary night. my last chance to wear sch u. after i put it on, i was in this total high mood that usually occurs when im in sch. it's like, yay sch u!! i was like this over active kid among all the kids who were queueing for the bursary. there were quite a few aj kids, a few njs and a few hcs. and guess who i saw, wanyan!! haha. i mean, the last time that i met her during bursary was like in pri sch? haha. and she was queueing in the same row as me!! haha. so we sat down and chat and chat away while our minister was giving his speech, totally ignoring him though i really like my mps. then i started talking to anyone i knew there. it was like, i dunno, i was like in a total high mood and i guess it had to do with my sch u and my supressed feeling over not getting a job and then to get one that i dont truly enjoy doing.

fast forward to this morning. slept at 2am in the night and had to pull myself out of the bed to go to ica. had to change my passport photo before the trip to penang during cny becos the last time i went to malaysia, the guy at the immigration counter was like staring at the photo on my passport and very sure that the photo wasnt me. in the end he let me thru after growling 'change ur photo'. so yup. change of photo. went down to lavender, queued up to take photos. and i had to use water to wet my fringe to plaster it properly on my head becos in 'passport photos, hair cannot touch eyebrow'. errr. and then to spend another 15min at the counter for a change of photo.

when they said 'change of photos', i really tot they meant by changing the photo on the particulars page of ur passport. but nope. the lady (but she was nice) used glue, stuck my photo on this random page in my passport, placed a chop on it and tada, it was done. wah biang. waste my time. and i guess the guy at the immigration counter wont even bother flipping to the page to look at my picture.

and so it was time for national library!! highlight of the day. talk: Crime -- The Dark Side of Asian Cinema


remember some ago i went for the engineering fiesta competition and that we were led to this vip rm at the national lib? the super cool place.

yup. today's the second time i could go up. but for another reason.


hahahahaha. u can say 'chey' if u wan.

after the u-weekly article i wasnt really keen of going down to see him(and to decide i shall not like him anymore. humph.). but again, it may be a once in a lifetime thing. so i made felicia and yueyun sign up with me for the talk. so i was happily anticipating that 3 of us shall go this talk which i presume not many people will want to go and to listen to him scold the media or sth like that. but...... felicia had to meet her job agent at the last minute and yueyun woke up very late that she missed the registration time. hais. alone.

i guess since it was held at the national library, they had to make it look like an educational talk by some golden horse winner to inspire little kids like us to join the film industry. but it was a total francis ng fan meeting session in disguise lah. everyone brought camera except me. hais. and so i struggled with my k700i, the only gadget i brought there. there were quite a few aunties *ahem* ladies in the thirties and some other kids who looked like my age.

and gosh there are people who turned up for the event. the host (danny yeo) said there were around 180 people in the rm, and many more who could not come in and stuck at the first level(it was true yue yun told me cos she was stuck with the bunch 'who could not come in'. yue yun saw this really farnee incident btw this auntie and security guard. more on the auntie later) and yesh. us. the lucky ones. (and i got myself a sofa chair. shiok or wat)

while waiting for the man to arrive. i was busily keeping myself busy since everyone else seemed to have gotten a friend or two with them. i was furiously sms-ing everyone to keep a lookout for francis ng's newspaper articles for me, and at the same time amusing myself with the dhl balloon outside.


there was a huge yellow AA dhl balloon in the middle of the city. hahahaha. and it kept going up down up down up down up down.

and also, eyeing the people around who seemed to have a copy of 'today' each.



so finally francis ng came. woo. he is really much better looking in person.


eh. this is the best i could get out of my k700i. hais. if u think u see who u see. yesh. u see him.

from how anathony wong described him, i tot he was going to be mean. as in his words are very 毒 lah. but he was okay. if fact, he was quite nice wah. haha. couldnt rmb the whole interview but there were some parts that were quite 经典. (very very loosely translated)

first, his jokes on dear indie friends.

someone asked him like if hk doesnt produce mafia cop genre films, then what he think hk can do lah?
and his answer was 'a lot of people ask us why hongkong only make triad films. then why the indians everyday only dance?' and he started making some bollywood music and bollywood dance actions. hahahaha. omg.

and then he said that singaporeans are very white, becos we dun come across crimes that often and most likely we wont become part of a triad. so he was like 'singaporeans are very white. we, hongkongers are very black. like indians like that, very black.' wah biang. hahaha. then he tried to undo what he did by saying 'cos india a lot of dust.' hahahaha. (apparently he was at india like the day before to film some new movie. he said that when danny yeo asked how long he was in spore)

second, his buay hiao bai-ness. but it was quite funny also.

someone asked him out of so many roles he acted before, which role is most similar to him. and his answer was 'of course the one in 衝上雲霄 lah!!' and he started laughing in the 'joking joking' way.

then another asked him that since he had acted as so many diff kind of roles before, issit difficult for him? and he answered 'actually very easy.... becos i think i am very 变态'(and then to continue bursting in laughter) cos he said there was once he had 3 scripts on his hand and he could go thru all 3 tgt and still knew how to act as the 3 diff characters lah.

and there was this time he was talking excitedly abt his role in 衝上雲霄. i think he decided on that hair himself cos he said he wanted to look like a pilot and he tot that hair will make him look like a pilot. then after the day he cut that hair, all the senior actors started scolding him. but when he went to australia to train for the show, at the last day one of the trainers from aus told him 'my girlfriend want me to cut my hair like urs. cos she say like that then will look like pilot' hahaha. and he was commenting that takuya kimura in 'good luck', hair so long still can act as pilot. haha.

and there were quite a lot of questions on what he hope to do ah, if he direct what kind of shows he will direct.

and he said he wanted to act as a orchestra conductor. hahaha. cos he likes how the conductor moves his body in a very beautiful way. but the punchline comes from his last line 'but when i told my boss this, he said 'wont earn money one'.' hahaha.

and then of course on acting with sporeans lah.

he said something like spore is not a good place to film triad, mafia kind of show cos no one here have the experience. then he started talking abt the time he was filming then he talked to the people acting as traid members. so he called one and asked what they did in real life lah and that guy told him that he was an orchestral conductor. hahaha. so he approached another guy, that guy was a dancer. so he was quite shocked 'really ah? those back row one?' 'no lah. front row one' and then he tot 'oh. nvm. dance keep moving. wont see his face.' wah biang. hahaha. and then he approached another guy,a quite macho guy. so he asked 'u so macho, are u a 舞男?' and the guy replied 'no. i am a writer for magazines.' hahaha.

and he kept talking abt this movie he liked a lot called '再见萤火虫'. an anime kind of movie. wiki it and i found it's a 1988 movie. hahaha. as old as me. he said that he will cry everytime he watch. he watched once in the cinema with his sisters, and since he was like the older brother who doesnt cry one, he kept sitting backwards to hide and cry. haha.

oh no. i think i wrote too much. but yah. it was quite interesting to go look at him as a real person. at the start of the interview i kept looking at his way too uncool socks. haha. he wore like jeans (with holes somemore) some tee and jacket, for a 40plus year old uncle quite hip leh. but he wore at the same time purple(!!) new balance running shoe and carried this quite uncool black backpack. and gosh. the socks. hahaha. it's like those socks we wear in pri sch that rests peacefully 3cm above our ankle and then his was like thin thin kind with flowerly pattern on it. hahaha.

shall talk abt the auntie i left off some paragraphs ago. yueyun said there was this auntie who was really desperate to go up and see francis ng. she said the auntie was pleading the security guard to let her go up and stand behind the door, she dun wan to sit, jus want to see him. then she started saying like she needed to wait to buy newspaper this morning and then to fetch her son to sch. but.... she actually called francis ng 'allan wu' huh? allan wu? hahaha. the spore wu-zhen-yu. haha. and yueyun said the auntie called francis ng aka allan wu like how she call her husband. hahaha.

and talking abt calling him like a husband. i saw this girl also. i think slightly older than me. cos he had to take the lift down and so we could see him really really up close and this girl started calling out in this very weak seductive way 'francis~ francis~ bye bye~' hahahaha. omg. like call husband like that.

and after the whole thing i went down to meet yueyun and felicia and walked to have our lunch. hahaha. ever since we have to endure the pains of paying adult fares, we are like walking whenever we could. walked to sunshine plaza to eat this famous wanton mee. but not nice one.

and then to si ma lu to light some jossticks since we were there. and then back to bugis junction before walking to suntec. haha. shopped around, before going over to paradiz centre(by walking).

we were at paradiz centre to... watch live 4D draw. hahaha. cos it was something only 18s and above can do(apart from smoking, drinking and clubbing). it was so boring lah. and so many uncles came down to watch. we were going to sleep when they were halfway thru the starters. haha.

*update 12.35am*
finished reading the today article. haha. i like how the reporter described the way he answered his questions "in Cantonese-inflected Mandarin, with the odd English phrase thrown in"

my hobby is still watching tv.

guess what. channel u is showing the hospital from 3feb onwards. yayyayyayyayyay. i am definitely not a jerry yan fan. so this is definitely not a biased view. but this show is really worth the time watching. first, it has a nice big cast. with wu meng da(haha) and fei xiang and linda and saya. second, the filming technique is really good.

watched the first few ep on youtube but i couldnt stand the small screen on youtube and to sit in front of the computer to watch it and so i gave up. but the filming technique is really nice.

oh wait. psyco urself that the show is not nice first. there's sth within ourselves, the humans, that if we expect too much we often will not get the satisfication. this.show.is.not.nice.

hope the national lib people will let us in tmr(:

cant believe i woke up at 9 today. after i've been waking up at 1pm everyday for one whole mth. sigh. okay. the kelly consultant people called me and (yup) they've gotten me a job. and now *horrors* i dun feel like working anymore. first becos the office is at like shenton way? sheena at kelly said it was near tp mrt, but still, how to walk there?

but thank gdness it's near lau pat sat and yueyun works near lau pat sat. so maybe we can meet up everyday for lunch. yay. but the more i read jasmine's blog, the more i feel quite scared abt this whole job thing. scheming people with horrible office politics. hahaha.

i wanna sleep. maybe good things dont all come tgt. how i wish i can slack at home and still get money. okay. i wan to be an entrepreneur. and be my own boss.

Are really bad at thinking up names.
