HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF!

With cat@ Er Ya, 06
1996! Dreams

My ou xiang turns 40 today. Initially, cant really believe it. Wow....how time flies.......when i first heard of him, he was only 29.

But anyway, men seem to be more charming with age. at least for him....i think he is more confident than before, and yeah he still looks alright :P

He is always so simple and down to earth.....

Wishing Jeff all the best & be happy always!

2006 Mag shoot

Sam Cop Gals

Last week, had an early bday dinner/sam cop gathering at Sushi Tei. Sure good to meet everyone again!! Cat even brought her manicure nail art kit and did free nail art for everyone! waitress around all stared but haha didnt say anything.
Seems all Saggi pple likes DIY......so funny. Cat likes making own curtains, cushions, blanket, wall murals...and jes once made a jig saw puzzle card and fold stars jar for me and my sis...yeah make pig clothes, cookies, cushions, soft toys etc etc......

It was really fun in the old days when we all first started work at Sam Cop. We formed this thing called the ''Zhen Qing" gang (coined by carrot who watched the drama). Zeng Qing cuz we were always typing emails to each other, gossiping about anything under the sun! and sometimes when there was a funny email, we will all burst out laughing at the same time! other colleagues would be wondering if we were mad.



Its weird that when actually come work in such a industrial place like this, u would hardly imagine there are some fun young colleagues in such places. but thats a bit of destiny i guess.

We had a small pantry and we would virtually hog the table everyday. laughing like crazy during lunch. some other gals in the office were of course not too happy about it. but hmm...haha what to do. the nick names we had for our colleagues were damm funny!! aiyo.....it fits them to the bill but of course only we could understand the secret codes.

Now, well, only 2 of us left in the company. dunno if u call it lack of ambition or maybe the place simply suits. actually that more implies to me cuz the other one is on bond! ha ha ha.
we all would still be working together if not for some working issues that arised for the rest.
i was also thinking of switching at one point too but luckily i was transferred to other dept that suited me more. but some others maybe 'stuck' in some ways or the other.


well, anyway, everyone seems to be doing well on their own now. 2 of them are super busy dealing with oil or energy trading. one went to a more vibrant MNC and the most siow one (and most gum with me, will always remember her first email - 'saiview' hahaha!!!) have just switched to 3rd job after sam cop...working in town! haha......

may not be in touch so often now but the memories are there.... keke

life sometimes full or surprises, never know who u may met^^

Pop! goes my heart! Pop goes my heart...........

Before i start writing, i just wanna scream first!!!!!!!!!! tried to embed the video from Youtube up here but the damm freaking video just doesnt appear! i dunno man, copied the codes word for word. anyway...whatever. dun let technology drive u crazy eh.

Ok Music& Lyrics.....haha...LOVE IT!! Its a very 'me' kind of movie. Its a very tried and tested formulamatic movie but who cares lah, as long its entertaining and worth your time watching it. and Best part....yeah the theme is The 80s! My gawd.....i didnt have much expectations of the movie since some reviews say its 'duh..' but during the movie, i actually LOL!! aiyoo...its been a long time...i cant remember which scene though. the 2 ladies next to me also around my age were also laughing along.

The story is nothing to shout about....sweet girl meets charming man, fall in love, one of 2 hiccups inbetween and of course happy warm and fuzzy ending. But hey, its an art doing this too! i mean try taking the formula above and direct a film and see if it sells. haha

first of all, the 2 leads are the masters of Romantic Comedies to start with. Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore........one is so witty and charming and one is so sweet and cute. most of their films are one 1 genre which romantic comedies. and they do it with so much ease. although phyiscally hugh lgrant ooks much older than drew, but somehow there is still chemistry between them. there is lots of fast pace male-female dialogue and therefore the movie flow rather pleasantly.

although i am not a particular fan of either, but they are nice to watch.
Always liked hugh grant's dressing and built. he seems to look good in tuck out shirts right from 4 weddings. overall his slim built and height really appealing lah. i love the Pop! MV too.....wah lau so funny! dunno how much make up he had on to look 20 yrs younger! he has a rather ok voice too....no problems if he wanted to be a pop star in the 80s. and he does look kinda cute. he said its amazing and a miracle now that he is officially a recording artiste, since his vocals are all in the soundtrack songs.

its really quite authenically 80s with the slow motion squence, chessy doctor, and girl with big hair, make up. haha ...but the song is really nice and catchy. u see simple pop songs like this....is better than any boyband crap now. I wonder who composed all the 80s sounding tunes in the movie. its really good and captures the feel of 80s once again. "Way Back Into Love" is a nice tune too.

Drew Barrymore strikes again with her lovey dovey dizzy self. she is very cute and pretty and looks really great now after losing weight and getting new ''modern'' wardobe. she is something like a younger version of Meg Ryan. i think casting her in this is a good choice cuz afterall she is an 80s icon. in some ways, i can identify with her behavior and character, i mean after all we are all fishes. but i would think more gals like her than boys. she is attractive and all but can be intimidating in some ways. maybe cuz too girlish and sweet to be true/real and there is actually more than meets the eye. Steven spieberg did say at the casting of ET, she was already a damm good actress and liar at 5 yrs! . haha. well, vivian hsu and her can shake hands.

I like the show also because there was a satire on the music business. Silly reality shows like 'battle of the 80s has beens' are now common. and its actually about boxing not singing. haha. and also that Cora woman is marketed now. so much gimmicks. i also noticed most of her fans were like 10 yr olds. well, that the way it is now. not that its a truely bad thing but singing and quality of songs seems to not be the most important thing now.

Drew's sister in the show also very funny. Going crazy over Hugh Grant. this is very true actually. haha.....i have a dvd of A-ha's homecoming concert. and first few rows were mostly ladies in their early 30s screaming away. haha...hey i actually did think of flying to Norway for that concert in 2001. (but i was still 20s then).but ok lah, morten still looks good and i have not seen him in person before. i think i would just cry if i did. that kind of nostalgic feeling.

overall, i liked the movie more for the 80s theme. and the songs in it. my colleague who is 5 yrs younger also liked the movie but instead didnt quite understand the Pop! video but liked the dialogue and funny bits.

its definitely a chick flick....i mean male reviewers will prob give this a thumbs down for waste of time? but what do they know anyway. haha.

ok finally i got the video going! 80s Rocks!!

Can't believe it....

I was walking thru HMV today and searching for Madonna's Confessions DVD. wondering how come its taking so long to arrive????!!! madonna stuff usually sell well here.....then finally i got the answer......just read its BANNED IN SINGAPORE!!!! AIYO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
apparently seems like they wanted to censor that controversial religious scene.

but i thought the tour went to italy too.......aiya.......like this go on, confirm no madonna concert here. i think all thru out asia selling ......... how come HK HMV can sell leh?
at the concert, i remember that segment....live to tell. nice song.

H&M shop opening in HK on March 8. first to showcase the M collection by Madonna. looks good man...and just like Hk$299 for a dress. rumoured she may cut ribbon. ahhh....lucky HK fans. actually she has a big following in HK ....... when asked about concerts in china, she said no fans write to her from there....haha
