2 Movies

I have watched 2 movies lately "once last dance" and "borat". This is not a movie review, but just some of my personal thoughts.
"once last dance" - the film is like a jigsaw puzzle, every piece tells a different story and it requires a lot thinking... There is nothing to do with DANCE, but everything is related to KILL..The most terrifying part is they used different violent methods of killing which i never expected. such as glass poking eyes, cellophane wraping face... yucks! The only thing i like about this film is the actor has a funny name - Ah Cha. Can you imagine, Francis Ng, such a handsome, well-formed guy call himself "Ah Cha".

"borat" - this film is STRONGLY recommended by one of my fren. But, after watching it, i STRONGLY NOT recommend anyone to watch it! The movie documented how a kazakhstanis explore his world in the states and hunting for her dream gal. mainly old lame tricks. just wonder why those sitting next to me were laughing maniacly.

No more gloomy days!

I received a postcard from a fren today, never expected that and it really made my day! Thanks pal :)I

Have great fun after work, joined my badminton kaki at woodlands sport centre. It was nice, we played very hard in every games.
Congrats to Hong (my dearest bro), he passed his sem 5 exams! This is the picture of brother and i, 20 years ago and now. Haha... he changed so much..

My weekend

I have a terrible weekend! Hope its all over now and will have a good week ahead!! Have been blur and ill luck for the past few days, what had happenned to me?
Incident 1:
Went to an AXS machine (great invention for paying bills, fine etc) to settle my phone bill on Saturday. Normally sis will be with me everytime i pay the bills at this machine. But i decided to do it myself that day. After queing for 15mins, its my turn to use that machine. Shuut... how to pay!Couldn't find the login sign. I starred at the screen for a few second, touched a few buttons, couldn't figure whats the steps that sis used to do for me. The queue at the back was long. Not supposed to give anymore tries, so i walked away with a bashful look. And started to queue again...As i waited on the queue, i peeked on the front ppl's screen (knowing that i'm not supposed to do so) and called my sis also.... Finally i succeed on the second attempt.. my bill was settled.
Incident 2:
I was shopping alone on Saturday afternoon. Remembered that i have to buy shampoo, so i went to the shop and picked a bottle. When i reached home, alamak!! i bought a conditioner instead of shampoo. Sigh, i have 2 bottles of conditioner and no shampoo now. What will happen to my hair if i use conditioner to wash?
Incident 3:
During my shopping spree on saturday, i bought 2 tubs of jelly from a shop in AMK. To the shock of my life, both tubs have moulded. At first i tot it was only bubbles but as i looked closer, they are actually fungus. The printed expiry date on the container was 19 January, which is 5 days later. I went back to the shop and showed them the "mushroom". They open a few other tubs in the shop and found fungus also. OMG... how can this happen?
Incident 4:
Decided to catch a movie with sis and bil on saturday night. This was the first time i booked the movie ticket online. Carefully i logged on to the website, selected the right show and timing then made payment to confirm the booking. The story never end yet. After dinner we went to vivo city which we thought we have booked the ticket. The cinema was very crowded, even the ticket collection counter was queued very long. Patiently i waited to collect my ticket. It was 15 minutes before the movie starts, the ticket person told me that the my booking was actually another cinema, should be the Great World City instead of vivo. I startled for a second... and asked "Do you mean there is no other way except rushing to Great World now?" He replied: YES. We rushed to another cinema, even though we were slightly late, but still able to catch the movie.... phew...
4 incidents in 2 days. thats enough for me!!!

Translation

Have you ever tried translating a sentense using internet translate machine i.e. babel fish, applied language etc. It can be very funny at times. I have been doing a lot of translating job lately, mostly english to chinese. Lets see what are the funny clauses i have seen:
1. Once opened, use the contents within 3 months. Close tightly after use.
1. 一旦开始，使用内容在3个月内。 紧紧结束使用后。
2. May cause sensitization by skin contact.
2. 5月起因促进感受性由皮肤接触。
3. guinea pigs - 实验品
4. nose discharge - 鼻放电
My conclusion: these online translators are not 100% reliable. They maybe useful for single word or short phrases. So, human language still the best.

KL trip

2007 is the year of tourism for Malaysia, being a good citizen, i went back to KL twice in a month. I spent 5 days over the new year holiday plus another 2 days the following week.
Travelling up and down was tiring and have spent almost 15 hours in the vehicle. Sigh, why there is no budget airline from SG to KL? AA or TA please do something!
Have not done much during my KL stay, mostly shopping (Jusco + Tesco + Carrefour) and eating (Jln Peel). Parents kept feeding me hourly, and i perpetually eating.
Met up with Cheryl, had a great time as she always pampered me.... Something to highlight: visited one of my frens pharmacy - Superdrug, in old klang road. It is a newly open, about 3 months++, the shop is nice, everything is well displayed. wonder when i will have my own pharmacy.

New Year...New Skin

My blog skin has molted, no longer orangy. I was told that my previous blog skin was too small and difficult to view. So, i decided to change it even though i like the orange skin very much.
Is this new skin nice? Must say YES!!
Thanks to my sis, shes really a blogger and sort out all my problems!
