what the ...

As much as I like the movie Avatar, I still don't understand why they must rename something real into something fake?

I can accept it if they added the extra name, but not officially change it!

The original names,
金龟岩”、“天桥遗墩”、“南天一柱”, are so much nicer!!!

Why? Why? Why must make it official!

Hallelujah Mountains just so sound wrong in China.

DD Pig

Offensive? In what way?

Then how come there's the dog? Coz we don't eat dog-meat?

Obviously being halal certified doesn't mean they understand the real meaning of halal.

And I'm going to get the DD Pig.

Sam, Interrupted

This episode is awesome!!! Twist with a twist!

So, Sam and Dean once again back into their monster killings spree and this time it was in a mental hospital. As usual, the plot went on to how they had to find the real monster was, which was killing the patients there by sucking their brain dry and then made it as if they died from suicide.

As wirh their usual gags, there were 2 main doctors which were kind of suspicious, from the way I perceived, but ended up, they are neither! One was just a figment of Dean's imagination, and the other doctor was, well, a doctor.

Anyway, now I'm clueless who is the real demon. Really got me.

Flabbulous N Fatastic

I just snagged this domain name at http://flabbulous-n-fatastic.blogspot.com

One tiny step to becoming my own boss. =)

But then, still not sure what to do with it. Ha ha... and this name already like half decided what I have to do.

See how it goes.

Honesty is not the best policy at work

I had a presentation last Tuesday. t was so like my FYP presentation!

I was still struggling for that last few lines of code before 9am. But at least they worked!

Anyway, at the end of the presentation, my direct manager gave me a few comments. In a gist, I'm too honest for my own good. Ha ha exactly the same stuff as my moderator had said during my fyp presentation. Basically, I was digging a grave hole for myself.

Presentation skills sucks too much. No need to point my own mistakes.

Avatar

So, I watched Avatar, twice.

Twice, I was deeply moved by the story (a bit old-fashioned love story and warrior fighting) and fascinated by the visual effects.

Twice, I can't help but wonder, this movie contains a little racism. The actors and actresses portraying the Na'vi are mostly Africa American, except the Eytukan who is an American Indian of the Cherokee Nation. Their similarities? Well, they all used to dance around a fire wearing little clothings, like the Na'vi. And the human who infiltrated Pandora are all, well, whites!

Twice, I wondered, how come Neytiri suddenly spoke perfect American accent English in times of sorrow. "You mean you know this will happen?" was so different accented from "I trusted you" which came later.

Other than these two annoying parts, Avatar ultimately still won my unfaithuful vote for being the movie of the year. Weirdly, I am deeply infatuated with the world of Pandora, in love with the Na'vi and head over heels with the language. =D

The storyline of Avatar, is in fact, all within expectation, at least within my expectation. I could roughly guess what will happen. Not sure if the director deliberately left the tracks for us to guess. Maybe, sometimes it is the most common thing that drive the most unexpected results. Avatar contains a lot of stories and meanings to convey. One, we should protect our Mother Nature, stop abusing her! Two, war is bad, war brings casualties, war does not result in a win-win situation, in fact, lose-lose. Three, human are a selfish bunch of aliens, who only thought of their own benefits, and who don't see with their hearts.

I had a colleague hiam Avatar hiam until I wondered why he so worked up for. But he had a few interesting modern theories on Avatar.
  1. You get the prettiest chick and the envies of others if you have a flashier car. Jake became a Turok Matok and everyone worship him, because he has the best car on Pandora.
  2. The Pandora is like one huge server and the Na'vi has these tails which they upload and download information. Like an RJ45.
  3. The Na'vi are more primitive than human because they had this system so well-planned systems that could survive for many many years that they do not need upgrades.
Haiz... Male Engineers!

I deserved it

I had so much time to prepare, why did I still throw myself into such a shit pit.

My bosses were kind enough not to point out what a disaster I am.

A better result on the 19th! Zene Hasey! Tsun Hasey!

If only I channel the energy to learn Na'vi to doing my PHP.

Exfoliation is good for the skin! Stress is not.

It's been ages since I dutifully exfoliate and slapped my face with sheet masks or overnight cream. I finally exfoliate my face, and what a huge difference it made! It looked radiant!

Where is the auntie I saw in the mirror this morning?

Ah... Missed my facial last week, shall booked another timing soon...

I love pampers!

Was on MC today, and it struck me that I always get sick panic attacks whenever I felt stressed and completely incompetent at work. I had headache when I woke up this morning, the really annoying and refused to go away so I rolled back into my bed instead, and called in sick.

All along, I tot it was because my gastric problem, which gave me tension headache. It wasn't until the doctor asked me if my work is stressed, then I realized the root of problem.

While I'm not yet really stressed by the work yet, coming soon anyway, I was actually stressed by the environment. I'm new to the team despite having a job for 8 months, which I was practically self study most of the time. The mock project we did for 2 months I had almost zero involvement till the last minute, when the leading was on MC. I really had it free and easy, and I tried to keep up with my readings.

Now as I officially entered into the team, immediately, I felt a great disparity between me and my teammates. Firstly, they all guys lah. Secondly, what they know and understand scares me. Nope, not because they are very experienced. I mean there's this one guy I observed, he's been there for a year I think but I could see the seniors loved him every bit. He's smart, he's hardworking, and he's totally can be depended on. Even though I do not understand the system yet, but I do know he's handling quite a major task now. My 2 weeks there, never once did I see him taking a nap! Power!

And I practically screwed up my first task (the web system) with the laptop and I almost caused them to lose 6 years worth of data, thankfully, we managed to revert the system back. If a simple task I can't do it well, I think I will really jinxed the major system sooner or later lor.

While I clicked OK with the guys whom were with me at main office during the audit, it wasn't with the others. I do want to join in their conversations, I want to crack jokes, I want to laugh with them, but there's the fear and irritating thought "She's so lame" inside my head and stuffed my opening mouth with it. There is this constant awkwardness lingering above us.

Even when I tried a conversation with one, it started and ended with a cold full stop.

This is so J&J all over again!!! I hate it and don't want it to be like this!

When they were discussing the system which I had absolutely zero idea what they talking about, I could feel an adrenalin rush in me, coz this system is like so cool but difficult. Despite how many times I told some people I won't be staying for long (I had no motivations during the first 8 months!), now that I had a peek into the project, I kinda loved it. Of course, maybe before I started screwing everyone with my sotongness and then hate myself for being so lousy and then moved onto the next job and then repeat the whole cycle again.

Maybe I'm a little impatient, I'm just 2 weeks in that place.

Give myself more time.

Feeling Flabbulous and Fatastic again

I looked into the mirror, and instead of seeing a healthy 25 (going 26) lady... I saw a severely obese, lack of luster, dark-skinned obasan.

Flipping through the photos in FB made it worse... I looked so good 5 years ago! Fat I may be , but I looked good.

Now, I looked so hideous! And I finally understand the true faces behind the very well painted masks I saw on the street! Do away with the ugliness!

I should really start doing something about my face and body. It's time to exercise again! Exercise is good, for the body and mind.

Should really start jogging, since my colleague dropped me off at stadium almost everyday. I love to jog at stadium, because I can count the number of rounds I run and multiply it to get the distance. Plus there are no exhaust from the cars! I shall not let the tiredness from work deter my routine. Be firm!!!

Thinking of going back to my kickboxing. Miss them dearly... Any takers?

NATO again... mu ha ha ha.

Motivating myself with DietGal... She lost half of her original size, dammit! So can I!

New Year Resolutions

Lol, my last new year resolution was in 2007!

That's like 2 years ago!

Setting up new year resolutions again.. bit of same old things really. But 2010 kind of mark a new start, especially with a new job (officially it was 8 months ago, but technically, I'm only starting now, being posted to project site and learning things all over again.) Plus, I'm going to be 26 soon, should really start to achieve some things.
  1. Lose weight! I lost 3 kgs last year, bounced back 2 kg tho during the last week because of overeating, but my swimming really toughen up my flabby a little bit. Now I walked also tired and panting leh, really must cut down my extra kilos already.
  2. Be diligent. I still owe my boss the website which was due last year last day. Must chope chope finish already lah. Considering the lack of internet resources in the office, I shall diligently do my research at home.
  3. Manage my finance, control them! Spend too much last year lah, My savings is so pitiful. Going HK in April somemore.
  4. Be more responsible in anything I do I say. Too many empty promises/threats (to Jamie) last year.
  5. Be nice to everyone, especially my family. Last year, my temper flared up too easily. Small things also annoyed.
Things I shall complete/start in 2010.
  1. Run a small 5 km marathon by this year. Gotta start training already I guess.
  2. Do more charity. Be it donation or volunteer work.
  3. Upgrade my IT skills and knowledge. Master course maybe?
  4. Pick up a new skill. I learnt Jap, Driving and Swimming. Maybe Dancing?
  5. Start a small business online, not sure what I am going to sell yet. Thinking of handicrafts.
Ok lah. I have exactly 363 days to see how much I can accomplish.

So, how's ur Xmas and NYE?
