why why!?? so hard to close a gas deal? everytime its near to conclude, something crops up! sometimes i dun know if i shld give up this industry...really getting boring and stale.
although colleagues are nice, location is good but i dun seem to be acheiving something that is satisfying.
and now the boss says more investors will be coming into spore...that means more investor relations needed...sure that could be fun but not when we are talking about chemical process and other non-interesting topics!

cool on the outside
Just started using the oh so cool and sleek Motorola V3 Raz...yep.....the thinnest phone around made out of aircraft aluminum....its definitely nice piece of art ...but function wise ....not so high tech as it looks. wonder why?.....why why does motorola never make smart user freindly phones...why why does motorola make boring old fashion looking phones...i guess its cause they are american?. america never really had many interesting innovative interesting designs...somehow they dun look modern.
now that the V3 looks so good but sadly the functions and technology inside the phone is prob only half of Sony Ericsson.
i could make a wrong judgement as the blue tooth apparently works very well in the v3 and its a quad band phone (i know tri band works in US as well as GSM networks..what about quad band? works in Japan and Korea?...have to find out)....but as you go thru the phone, ..the interface is quite dull, icons everything not like sony's 3D looking icons, memory is only 5mb, sony is 41mb for a model that came out last year, no video capture only video playback (V odd...the latest black version has video capture though)...and one function that i really miss is that during SMS....if a tel number or email add is in the message, SE phones will automatically recognise those numbers and highlight it and prompt you if you want to save it to the phonebook! that was really a useful function!
maybe SE is so cool cause they got most advance mobile phone technology from Japan and the also modern urban looking designes from Sweden. but still the v3's look is a winner..the 256k screen is sharp too. but after a while...the phone is really not that much fun. i guess depends on the user too. SE may be too cutesie for some users ..... i guess prob asians would love SE phones more

never laughed so hard for a long time!
borrowed 3 DVDs from Music Junction to watch over the weekend...was thinking...hey $6 per dvd for 5 days aint that bad...yah i wun get to keep them but so what?! anyway i normally dun watch movies twice. the first feel is always the best. furthermore, the cinema ticket prices are up again! but yet the stupid screens keep getting smaller and smaller ...no logic to really go to cinema now i think unless u want the darkness and the booming sound and echos. haha...
borrowed 2 titles that i always wanted to watch and 1 that i was just curious to watch.
1. Briget jones - the edge of reason
yes! the badly reviewed part 2 of BJ!! heck with the reviews...i had to see it for myself...after all she is cute and so real and that boyfriend of hers...hmm...mark darcy (acted by colin filth..pardon the spelling)...he doesnt look handsome or anything but there is just something special about him. he is a top notch lawyer but super serious and boring ...in a way. but with a heart of gold.
the part 2 wasnt as fresh or funny as the part 1 but i think that is common. this time bridget has a BF! finally...but she feels insecure about the relationship. the movie actually deals with the more settled side of BJ but i guess the masses wanted to see her goof up more. the movie is not without those goofy moments like her ski trip, buying a pregnancy kit using german..haha, taking to her bf on the answering machines and the door intercom at the same time..., staring at him in bed in a silly manner ...rather adorable .... but to follow the success of the first show, the director prob lost some of her ideas and followed the winning formulas from the last show. so a bit made up for some scenes.
the thailand bit was not really needed but one scene was quite meaningful as BJ was complaing to her thai inmates how angry she is with her BF. then the thai girls said, their bfs, make them work the whole day, beat them up, ask for money etc etc...and asked her what nasty things he did to her?...and she could only mumble :er..."fold his underwear in a boring manner "..haha..and he is boring or something...hahah..then she got nothing to say any more and said : yeah, he made me sell drugs too! etc..." so as not to loose face. hugh grant is as usual charming and he continues to have an entertaining and amusing fight with darcy.
overall, ok lah...watchable but dun think there will be part 3.
Now the really hilarious movie was "Harold and Kumar goes to White Castle". This movie is awesome!!! (do i start sounding like some american...hehee)...really one of those movies that will have you launghing out LOUD till your tummy hurts! always wanted to watch this movie as the plot sounds interesting and silly...but u know its still something that i can relate to.
Its really a guy buddy movie...these 2 frens Harold (korean guy) and kumar (indian guy) are room mates. harold is a little uptight and always get bullied in office while kumar is a fun loving happy go lucky kind of guy who hates to comply to his parents wishes for him to be a doctor.
one night while they were watching TV and smoking some pot (i think), this White Castle ad came out (burger joint) and they suddenly craved for it like crazy!!! the prob is the nearest white castle is quite a distance away..so they drove off to find white castle but inbetween, they met with unexpected and crazy adventures along the way!! all in one night!! its just hilarious!!! they actually took a ride on a cheetah along the highway!! haha and one part they stole these hooligans (who always bully them) truck like vehicle to continue their trip, to their surprised the Cds in side were like "baby baby" by amy grant and hold on by Wilson Philips!! haha i couldnt stop lauging when 2 of them started singing along to the cheesy "Hold On" with a lot of feelings too! esp the chorus! haha
another really funny part was when a staff at another buger joint went bersek at the drive in counter as they were trying to order their food. he just went crazy and started swearing like mad!
along the way there are many sterotype jokes on asians and blacks ...but really just humourous.
its really been a long time since a movie can make me laugh like that.
i think a lot will agree, the movies nowadys are hardly memorable or that entertaining as before. this is really a simple movie but lots of crazy ideas and fun. just like those fun movies from the 80s.
sometimes, we can really do without the big budget and packaging.
the last movie i borrowed was suprise surprise : Mean Girls....sigh,,yah...one of those current teenage crap movies. i was curious what is exactly the hype about lindsey lohan..(spelling)...
anyway, its ok lah...talks about this generation high school and all...not exactly mean as i thot...more like fluff. dun borrow it unless u wanna watch some high school girls prancing about. the story is real weak too, so is the romance interest.

blogging in my jail cell
ah...poor blog....its quite pathetic that i am not been filling up anything here...dunno why, perhaps i am too lazy...i do think a lot , lots of dreams and funny thots...typical pisces but somehow i am so lousy at penning whatever i think! sssshhh...feel quite shallow suddenly.
wouldnt have entered anything here until an sms from a happy go lucky friend....its 19:45, spore time and i am here YES here still in my office prison cell...finishing up the remains of the evil monday blues! well, hmmm...at least i just closed a deal...not a big one but at least something.
but hmm today aint that bad as last week, last week was just total NO MOOD to do anything feeling in the office...felt life was grey...went to read a friend's blog about her life in japan. as visually exciting as tokyo can get but ultimately i thot...hey she has her own stress in japan too despite the colour clothes and vibrant urban life there. nobody said life was easy. perhaps spore is just too small and we get bored easily. hey any spore bloggers here? what do you guys do on the weekends?!!!! BEsides hanging out at orchard rd lah, suntec city lah...
not sure what are my hobbies now.....maybe i shld take up higher chinese...that shld be useful enough....
finally open the wrapper of my 2 mth old incredibles DVD on sat....was finally bored enough to do that and look forward to a good movie...who knows i turn the damm DVD off after 45 mins. Sadly the movie was dry and wordly....sigh.....nothing compared to nemo and toy story. i think i like cute silly characters...the beefcake looking guy inside just bores me. and the dialogue isnt witty AT ALL. some say that european designer woman inside with her italian or french accent is cute...but i think i will be more entertained watching that weird and dried up karl langerfeld talk at some fashion show.
nowadays as i get older, i find i have no patience to watch any movie of a drama nature. it just bores me and make me feel even more dull.....crazy comedies is what i like best.
never get sick of those HK classics....just totally no meaning but funny. at least they let out their craziness.
hey! quite happy to see that i have 2 guest from US who left comments on my blog...hello hello...welcome ^^
i feel really happy and surprised as my blog is practically nothing. thats the wonder of the net eh...the world does indeed gets smaller:) ok..... thats it for a monday....back home, dinner get forced to view desparate housewives (my sis fave show)....cheerio!
