Oh.. just realised someone's upgraded to a D70. Having fun?

The Gospel of John

I watched "The Gospel of John" on the computer yesterday. Once again, the destiny of Jesus Christ has touched me and I cried again. :~(

This movie narrated the chapter of John from the New Testament. It also explained the things that had been said and done, according to the Bible. It takes you through the final journey of Jesus; the miracles he performed, the teachings (which are really hard to understand), the final hour, the crucifixion, and his rising.

This movie takes on a different angle compare to "Passion of Christ". Same story, but "Passion" focused on the agony and tortures that Jesus had gone thru. It had a greater impact on mankind while "Gospel" gave a better explanation which I think will benefit only the believers. Although "Passion" followed closely to the Bible, it had the director's own additions that may be interpreted differently by different people. "Gospel" is almost the Bible brought to screen, except there's variations to what I've read. I guess the Bible had been reproduced so much that there's deviations or variations from the original. Who knows the original then?

A picture tells a thousand words. Watching the movie allows me to understand the Bible better and it certainly left a deeper impression in me. I'm a "graphic" person. I remember pictures better then words. ;)

Excuses Excuses

My excuse is I'm using a 64mb laptop in the office now running Win2k so it's really really really and did I mention really slow. heh. to much trouble to post whilt at work.
Btw, just so u guys (n gals) (n not guy not gals type if any) know, my office only allow
MSN now so wun see me on Yahoo much .. unless got web version :P

Oh yah.. and managed to catch Van Helsing before it ended.. anyone can enlighten me.. he's supposed to be the angel gabriel? The story like got a lot of holes leh (the vampires also lah)

Shrek 2

Fantastic! So funny, I am still laughing. (I caught it on last Friday). It is better then Shrek 1! Must watch, it's worth 4.5 stars!

I have been busy recuperating and working (need to compete with co-workers :| ) that I haven't been blogging religiously. What's your excuse?

Next: Day after Tomorrow, Harry Porter (opens next thurs)

Trojanism and all things Greek

Aren't they georgeous? I mean, if the Greeks really look like Brad Pitt and Eric Bana in The Troy.. I'll be the horse they ride on. (So cheesy.. hahaha)

The Troy, a great movie with gorgeous men. I spoilt the enjoyment of the movie because I was too distracted by Brad Pitt and his beautiful body. Fantastic fight scenes and interesting story. Director did an excellent job in telling the story on screens. Sadly, I've nothing more to say about this movie other then Brad and Eric Bana (totally dig his body.. *drool*). Orlando? Well, he acted well, so much so that I don't want to remember him as Prince Paris. He shall remain as the swift Legolas.

I should watch the movie again, and this time, pay attention to the show. I still can't forget his naked body.. sigh..

And what is wrong with the movie theatres these days?! Cineleisure's sound system failed me! So disappointing. :(

Vampire Slayer

Van Helsing.. if he's really as cute as Hugh Jackman, I'll turn myself into a vampire to let him pierce through me. *wink wink* Haha..

Alright, back to the movie. The bad thing - I was bored at certain points of the movie. The story/plot is expected. Well, it can get kinda drama but then again, it should be expected out of such movie. I was looking for more climax but since it was expectable that the good won't die, I wasn't too excited when the good guys were in danger.

The good thing about it thou, is the graphics. Really cool and fun to watch. And of course, Hugh is nice to look at, Kate too of course. It's worth, 3/5 stars.

Friend went to Eng Wah Suntec and reported bad sound system. The sound can go mute at the exciting part. I went to GV Plaza and the sound system also sux. One side of the speakers go mute and back on minutes later. I guess Orchard Cineleisure is still the best, although it can be deafening. You can do what I did, plug in ear phones. Hahah.

Hopeless eye for a guy

Gross. Just seen the finale of "Eye for a guy" and I'm so disgusted and disappointed. Ok, she choose Sivet (sounds like a name for cats) which I agrees with her choice. But she's now dating Mark? Fine, if love blossom, great! But she's letting Mark to go to Paris with her and Sivet when it's suppose to be Sivet's "prize" for winning the game?! That's outrageous. What does she expect Sivet to do when two of them will be pretty much stuck to each other? According to Sivet, they were not suppose to contact each other until they go on the Paris trip. But Mark jumped the gun and has now started seeing Rachel. Mark really turns me off. Can't she tell that he's so fake and dating her is just to prove that he's still the winner? Man! Good on Sivet for not wanting to pursue Rach anymore. No good man would after what she has done. Well, I hope Rach is also playing the field like Mark, or I hope I'm wrong about Mark. Either way, it's one irritating couple, from the way they speak.

50 First Dates

Romance comedy by Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore who last paired up in "The Wedding Singer". I enjoyed the wedding singer better thou. This one had lotsa slapsticks and corny jokes which fails to deliver the punch. Nevertheless, there's still lotsa laughter. (I was wondering why the two gals next to me were laughing so hard when I was frowning at the corny jokes. It wasn't even that funny!) Crazy gals aside, it's still a funny romantic girlie show. I was with a guy so didn't really feel much of a romance out of the movie. Haha.

Adam sang in the movie again, and it sorta sound the same as in the wedding singer. You'd pity Lucy (the gal who lost her short term memory) for having to begin each day with so many emotions. But you'd also envy her for having such a sweet guy willing to do so many things for her. That's from a gal's point of view of cos. ;)

Next: Van Helsing, Troy, Blood Brothers (chinese)

My lazt s

Decided to get off my lazy a** before starting work and finally took some pictures of cordelia using the stuff I bought from Donald's friend.

It's up at http://pachome1.pacific.net.sg/~cleek/img/baby/

I'm so slow

Wanted to catch hellboy but when I finally got around to it on friday..dammit practically all the cinemas not showing anymore. In the end had to watch Dawn of the Dead which actually seems to have a lot more stupid people in the show rather then dead people.

Oh well....

Kill Bill Vol. 2 on Tuesday

What's happening? No one is blogging??

I caught Kill Bill last Wed and I liked it! It is not as good as Vol.1 but I still enjoy the martial arts, humour, dramatic effects and the story telling. I must say, Quentin Tarantino is really not that bad. (hahaa althou ugly).

The audiences disturb me. They laugh when it's not funny. Just because the movie present the show in a dramatic, oldies-chinese-martial-art-movie way? So what if the high priest can stand on sword? Qing-gong does exist! They just can't appreciate the way the director intend to shoot the movie. It kills my mood, when I'm enjoying the dramatic effects and martial arts. I guess they just can't associate that kind of "chi-na-wu-shu-pugilistic" mannerism with the american ang moh.

I can already tell Vol. 3 is going to suck.

Next: 50 First Dates, Van Heilsing

Job Vacancy

A friend of mine at NYP is looking urgently for a Software Engineer, proficient in C/C++. The job will probably be programming in C++ for gaming software. Knowledge of computer graphics is an advantage but not a requirement.

Contact me if you are keen.

Friday update

1. Saw "Taking Lives" on Wed. So-so movie. Interesting story, expected plot, typical acting. It worth 2 stars out of 5 but Ethan Hawk earns them another one start. :"> He's damn cute in the show. Kiefer Sutherland (the lead actor in 24) was good, pity he wasn't given much to play.
2. Barney's World Tour is coming to Singapore.

3. Black Eye Pea is coming to Singapore!!!!!!!

4. Kill Bill vol2 opens today!! "They" want to do the vol.3 but Uma don't want to continue anymore. Good move Uma. Cos Vol3 I heard, is stupid and getting too draggy. :|

Movie weekend

Went to watch "Hell boy" and "Hidalgo" over the weekend. Both were interesting and entertaining. Althou there isn't many climax in the show, I wasn't thinking about the time and enjoyed the movie. Maybe it's just the protrayal of "macho man" that got me 'enjoying' the show. I'd say 3 stars out of 5, the kind can watch, can don't watch, or watch during wkday sort.

Next, Kill Bill 2, Taking Lives, Starsky and Hutch, 50 First Dates.

Eye for a guy

Did anyone of you catch this show? If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out this website
Eye for a guy

I happened to watch the first 2 episodes and I must say it makes American reality shows look so much better. I've to admit I watch it out of curiosity. Curiosity to see how our very own reality show fair. Curiosity to check out our local FHM girl. Curiosity to see how thick skin the contestants can be.

So what's my verdict? The show is not really up to the mark and production seems cheap. In addition, it does seem a bit too contrived. So what's your opinion?

Movie Reviews

You guys who's been into the movies care to update any good movies lately ? For me, I haven't been to the cinemas for MONTHS man! Been only able to catch up through VCD/DVD.

A different Friday from the last one

I went to watch "Passion of the Christ" and it left me with a lot of emotions, questions, and thoughts. If you have watched it, could you please tell me what are your thots? If you don't intend to watch, could you please tell me why?

My opinion: Fantastic movie. Thru the movie, I empathised with Christ and understood the meanings. I could also understand why this movie is made. There are serveral so-so or bad reviews, but I feel that they did not see the reason for making this film. Or maybe I'm biased? After a discussion with my sis, we think people can either don't like the show, find it either meaningless and ridiculous, meaningful and worth-while, or interesting and provoking. The show made me want to find out more about Christ. It's not just for Christians or Catholics. It's also for non-believers if you keep your mind open. :)

After the show, me and friend were quite 'disturbed'. We end up discussing about Christ and religion for 1 hr over a cup of hot tea (for me)/coffee(for him). I believe we will be reflecting on ourselves for the next few days. For the record, he's a buddhist while I'm a christian and we believe that we worship the same God. There can only be one God.

I went home and continued my work. Long story short, Indian guy in US hogged on the test machines for serveral weeks, and request that I complete my test by this week so that he can do his next wk. I wrote back to say that I am left with the weekend which I'll try to do as much as possible, but no gaurantee, and we should share the limited resources. This guy has made quite a name in the company. He was first in S'pore office. He wasn't able to understand what was taught, and couldn't handle simple tasks. He left, and went to US. With his Director brother's as backing, he got in to my company again. Anyone mention his name, they smirk and say, "Oh, good luck!"

Just another part of life to deal with. :)

My mum asked, "Why aren't you out? Don't you have friends? How will you find boyfriends if you don't have friends? Why don't you join the SDU like your sis?"
*REB* omg, the pressure is building starting from this year, from colleagues and family.

Next wkend is a long wkend - Good Friday!! What's your plan? Sleeping in?

Have you blogged?

Yo yo, whassup!?

I'm bored.. on a Friday night.. *REB - roll eye balls* But if I'm out, I'll probably wish that I'm home. What is wrong with me?!??! Then again, I wouldn't complain if I'm out with enjoyable companies.

I was having a YM (yahoo messenger) chat with one of the managers at work. (Not my manager, but he's really friendly) He started asking if I go out drinking and stuff. I said not much and no kaki (friends). We agreed that we need people of the same interest to have 'fun'. I thought it's hard to find people who shares the same interest but he thinks that you'll meet them when you go to the right places. Now, where is that right place? Pub for fellow alcoholics? Cinema theatre for movie buffs? Opera house for theatrical enthusiasts? Maybe he's right but I'm not that friendly to go up and get to know strangers.

During one of the chit chat sessions with 2 of my cubicle-neighbours, they started saying, "Why don't you recommend friends to her?" "Why don't you join SDU and take part in their activities?" Is this a sign? Or is it just the bio-clock? Looking around my company, I'm probably the ONLY SINGLE girl. -_-|||

Alright, enough of blabbling on a bored Friday night.. *yawn*

After work activity?

I always wonder, do you guys have any after work activity? I remembered from NUS days that it was hard to try to get you guys out after work. But after I left, some of them managed to go clubbing. (is it me? hahaha)

So what do you do after work? Home straight to baby sit?

For me, I tried to go exercise at Amore at least once a week. (It's not enough, I know) I used to play pool every other week but that has decrease recently. And on rare occassion, catch up with friends over dinner. Recently have been thinking of picking up something to enrich myself. I need to be more motivated to go for yoga and pilates. I need to find people to play pool to practise. And I am also looking at any art classes that I can take to pursue my interest. I was also thinking of picking up violin, but but but.. expensive leh. And it takes motivation and determination. I still haven't develop the same kind of interest in violin as in art.

But ultimately, I need to do my financials cos my contract is ending in a few months, and Sybase still can't decide if they have the budget to keep me. (Or maybe they are not telling.)

I'm thinking of going to the Arts Museum tomorrow, anyone wanna join me? Hahaha. It's free for admission on Fridays, 6-9pm.
