I got 'em!!

Yeah, got them at last. My 2 spanking new books. Here's a pic:

Illustrated version!!

Got them as a present. :D Started reading the Da Vinci Code. Although i've like, read it loads of times already. My preciouss.... Can't wait for the movie to come out! I think i've said that a lot of times already. Hope it won't be a let down. Speaking about books, Ben isn't it about time u returned all my books?? I hope they're not collecting dust in Singapore!

Went out with Jace and Evan the other day. Been ages since i last saw them. Had a lot of catching up to do. Watched 'She's the Man' with them. Hmm..the movie is chick-flick type of funny. Duke Orsino was damn cute though.

After dinner we went for dinner at Oh Sushi. I think the prices there are kinda expensive compared to other japanese restaurants. The food and servings are nothing to brag about. My all time fav jap restaurants are still Don Sushi and Sakae Sushi. Yum!

Other movies i've watched since i last blog are 'Date Movie' and 'Scary Movie 4'. Date movie was kinda...stupid funny la. Expected. It's all spoofs of other funny/romantic movies. I prefer Scary Movie 4. Also spoofs of other movies but it made me laugh more. Yeah, so that's how i judge. Heh.

Will be going back home for the long weekend. A much needed R&R. Though i doubt so.

crying baby + shrieking mom = -_-''

You know who you are. Haha....

Busy, busy, busy....

...that's what has been next to my msn nick for the past few weeks. Well, it's true, i've been pretty busy at work. It just doesn't stop coming in. Recently, some colleagues went on a company trip (for those who achieved their sales quota or had good performance all year long). Most of them said the place they went was a real let down. Heh. Wonder where the next trip will be at.

Since i last updated , i've watched a number of movies. Started with V for Vendetta (i think he was making faces under that mask), Ice Age 2, Lucky Number Slevin (it's good!) and a couple of older movies The Terminal (been wanting to watch for ages) and Snatch (because i heard it was like Slevin in a way). Oh, and i'm going to watch National Treasure after this. The movie i'm most looking forward to is Da Vinci Code. I think it's gonna be a good one, so Gold Class it is! Speaking of which, i wanna buy the illustrated version!! I saw both the Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons illustrated version in a book store some weeks back. And i've made a pact to buy 1 at a time, 1 month after another. It's about RM60 each if my memory serves me right.

On other news, they stop serving Rhumba in Starbucks!!!! Noooooooo!!!! It was like the sole purpose i go to Starbucks in the first place! Now they've taken it out, i have to resort to other drinks. It's just like in UK, no Rhumba! I wonder why.....it's so niceeeee. *Whineee*

Alright, off to watch National Treasure (yeah, when i said i was going to watch it 'after this' i really meant after this).

It's been a while...

...since i last blogged. What to do, didn't get the 'feel' to blog...or maybe i was just busy (honestly!!).
Let's see, what have i done since i last blogged....hmmm....

1. Had another overnighter at work. Realised my limit of not sleeping is only about 30 hours, then after that i totally konk out.
2. Went to Genting with my ex-colleagues. Was fun! Not the place but the ppl.
3. Watched Pink Panther. Stupid-funny.
4. Got food poisoning. Again! The last time i had it was in November. Hmm...i don't know why, but nowadays i seem to fall sick often. Last time i fell sick once a year. Serious!
5. Participated in my company's solutions fair. Learned a lot about my company's products. And of course got to know a lot more people. They had games and stuff, so i won lots of sweets and notebooks.
6. Attended my uncle's funeral. Damn sad.
7. Watched Final Destination. Too predictable.
8 Watched Brokeback Mountain. I can hardly hear what Heath Ledger was saying. He was acting damn macho, but he's just a softie inside. Many gay moments.
9. Got swamped with work.
10. Still swamped.
11. Swamped till next month.

So that's about it. I'm looking forward to some new movies coming up soon. 'V' for Vendetta, Da Vinci Code, Pirates of the Caribbean II. Oh, i wanna see how the new James Bond fairs in the new movie, see if he fits into this role. Heard a lot of criticism about the actor already.

Hmm, thinking to get my eyes checked. I know my eyesight has worsen, need to get new specs or maybe contacts. Have been putting off that trip to the optician's. Oh, thinking of perming my hair. But got to maintain it this time.

Dang...there are so many new things i want. Handphone, car, apartment, laptop....got to start saving. I will sacrifice my lunch money (cut down on expensive food, not skipping lunch) but not my shopping!!

Alrighty, next up, my nephew's b'day. Will be going back to celebrate his and my dad's b'day this weekend. Will try to teach the babe how to say my name. Ciaos.

15 days of CNY

Don't worry, am not going to go through all the 15 days. I'll summarise.

So, CNY has come and gone. It was a quiet new years this time around. Well, it did start of quiet, but got rather busy when Joshua (read: baby) was back. Ang pow collection wasn't that good either. When people know you've already started working, then that's it. No more ang pow. Did some visiting, loads of eating, and of course some gambling. Didn't throw any oranges yesterday though. To me oranges are meant for eating. Period.

Watched 'The Producers' when i was back home. Quite nice and funny. But the vcd quality wasn't that good. Went to the cinema to watch 'Fearless'. Great fighting scenes. The whole village thing could have been omitted if they weren't following the real story. It was like fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, dance & skip around on paddy fields, fight, fight, fight. And after a long wait, i finally watched Memoirs of A Geisha. I did try to get the cinema tickets for the last time, but oh well, it wasn't meant to be. The movie was a bit.....unnatural. Cause it was all in English. Next movie i'm looking forward to is 'Da Vinci Code'. I hope it won't be disappointing. Else it will seem that all movies adapted from books have been a failure.

Since CNY's over, there's another occasion to splurge on: Valentines! Happy Valentines, people!

Surviving CNY shopping!

Tip number 1: Don't give up! You will get there (through the massive jam) and you will find a parking space..........eventually.
Tip number 2: If you take public transport, suck your stomach in and squeeze into the bus/train.
Tip number 3: Don't get suckered into buying everything that has a 70% or 50% discount tag over it. The price has usually been marked-up.

I went to my company's kick-off dinner last saturday. The theme was retro.....so yeah, you could see loads of people in all kinds of outfits. Quite a number of them rented their costumes. I reckon some were wearing their old clothes. Heh. Most of the managers and directors were sporting enough to dress up as well, and also performed during the dinner! Some employees did a great dance performance which included a medley of songs. Really got everyone into the 'retro' mood. The rookies also performed a few songs. I wasn't included as i'm toooooo new. So i'll be performing at the next kick-off dinner in the middle of the year. I didn't stay long enough to see who was crown retro king and queen though.

On sunday, i went to do my CNY shopping in Midvalley. I went there fairly early, but by noon the crowd grew bigger and bigger! Tried on lots of clothes but bought little. Went back by KTM/LRT and was sardined. I don't want to talk about it....and i sure don't want to relive it! Crazy CNY shoppers! For my case, i can't help it. Wasn't free to go before this. :p

Went to 1Utama just now, and surprisingly, it wasn't that jam and it was easy to find a parking space! Bought a few more items and came home satisfied.

Been having the flu the whole day. Will go sleep now. Nites! Happy CNY!

New year, new changes?

CNY is coming! Woohoo! But i haven't bought any new year clothes yet. Drats! How many more shopping days to go?? Shopping, anyone?

Let's see, what changes there weresince i last updated, hmmm.....I went to Kelantan again and when i got back, i resigned! Yup, got the job i wanted at last. :D But will miss my old colleagues though. They are a nice bunch to hang out with. I'm at work now actually. Quite free today, but i'm told i will be swamped with work starting next month. I don't want to think about it yet. Went around every floor to be introduced to....everyone. I'll have to work together with them, so i got to know who i'm working with. Will be attending the company kick-off dinner this saturday. Now i need to find something to wear. Aiks!

Went for a medical check-up, required by my company. All seems well. And went to get my photo taken. I look quite tan in the photo. Hmmm...

I've yet to finish 'Memoirs of a Geisha'. Don't get me wrong, i enjoy reading it so much that i don't want to finish it, so i guess i'm just trying to stall time. But i'll finish it before i see the movie. Talking about movies, i haven't watched 'King Kong' yet! Got some mixed reviews about that big ape. Some said were nice, others said it wasn't. What say you?

2 more weeks to CNY. I'm hoping to meet old friends and do some catching up. And of course ang pow collection which i missed last year. And food!! Yum!

Ok, i guess my blog has gotten quite boring, even to myself. I'm like reporting what i did......which is not interesting at all. Hopefully i'll get to blog about something else soon. Ideas anyone?
