Jan - Feb Struggling


At work, Jan - Feb has proven
to be rather frustrating ...
a lot of hiccups ... a lot
of unexpected
problems ...


Overall, I am quite behind
schedule but I have
did my best ... &
things just din
work up


A lot of things that shldn't
go wrong has gone
wrong ... but
den I really
looking forward to
completing my project
and nothing shall
crush my spirit


A lot of frenzs ask me
what I plan to do after
graduation ... I have
been thinking abt it
occasionally but I reckon
my future does not like
in the academic field


As for what career I will
pursue ... I am not absolutely
sure yet ... I have some
idea but it's not absolute ...
for me it's impt tt I don
have to slog my whole life


Some people really love working ...
I don belong to tt group ...
I value other things as more
impt ...

watch "Slumdog millionaire" with Kian Leng
last week ...


I was thinking "do you believe
in such a love story?"


I like the movie but I don
really find
the love scenario v
romantic


In fact, I think the love story
was really more like
a backdrop rather than
the main theme


Still, I enjoy the movie
because it is sth
I nvr caught it on
the big screen


I was thinking whether
it's because the movie
I watched recently were
all so good tt I hardly
drifted away or
is it becuz my
concentration span has
increased


My concentration span has
always been tt bad ...
I can't sit still
unless there is really
sth entertaining tt
keep me captivated ...


On Thursday, I finally
got to catch "The curious
case of Benjamin Button"


I read the synopsis & I really
like the whole idea of
the movie but
I nvr thought it
was going to be so

heart-wrenching


& gosh the whole movie was 166 mins ...
& 166 mins in a Lido
theatre is not really
an entertaining prospect


I find "Benjamin Button" better than
"Forrest Gump" ... save for
the fact the protagonist actually
lived life in reverse ... the whole
story is more believable ... &
the romance tt develops between
the couple is more real


The most gutting part of the show
is to see the Benjamin slowly deteriorating
& losing his memory of the long
love relationship he had with his wife
& his wife still by his side taking
care of him as a toddler and
as a baby ...


"Benjamin" is a like a melodrama
but not quite ... I think it avoided
some of the emotional excesses associated with
the genre


It was filmed with a lot of care and
depicted with a lot of grace ... love
it tremendously

Feb is a weird month ... the days
just flew away & surprisingly
I have managed to keep a
fine balance between
work & play ...


It hasn't always being like tt ...
undergraduate days were
more of the latter ...
while postgraduate days was
like so tedious until I
was really tire out


My badminton is still not as
good as though people which
I play with ... some of
them are really gud &
they are efficient
with their stroke


My stroke is incomparable
but sometimes I
do spring a few
occasional supply ...
Comparatively, badminton
is easier to pick
up than bladeing


Bladeing was quite hard in the
beginning ... Braking was
especially hard, for a
while, I was thinking
whether I can master
braking perfectly ...


I wanted to pick up tennis,
pal KK also said he was
keen ... but time is
especially tight, so we shall see

Arshavin, Arshavin, Arshavin


Arshavin has finally signed for Arsenal ...
it has one month soap opera ...
& a lot of ups & downs ...
at times, it seem like
the deal was off


Anyway, tt's history ... the best
part is Arshavin playing
for Arsenal is a
reality...


It will be v mouth-watering to
watch Arshavin play ...


I think he will make a good
team great !!! He
will be the catalyst
for this youthful thing


When I was Sweden, life was gud
so I was frequently at
the pub to watch
the premier league soccer
with hostel buddy or frenzs ...


At tt time, Arsenal was like
unbeatable ... & they were
really unbeatable in the
league for the whole season ...


Wins were taken for granted ...
& Arsenal fans were having
a rosy time ...


Arsenal is wobbling right now but
those bad sequence of results
won't last ...


Arsenal is better off than loads of club...
the blueprint for success is there
& it's only a matter
of time before we see it
on the field


Enough of Arsenal ... I admit
it's just nothing to non-Arsenal
supporter

was checking up the Chinese music
chart & whoa 国王皇后has shot up
the chart ... it's No.5 now ...


it took a little for 大嘴巴lastest hits
to move up the chart ... but No.5 on
the 93.3 chart & No. 2 all their Asian
chart is credible performance...


国王皇后is gud !!! but
it's not for everybody ... if
u like wacky stuff, u
might just like it


I luv Rainie Yang's '太烦恼', it's
doesn't bear resemblance
to her new style ...
but it sounds like '庆祝' No. II ...
v cheerful music ... n
not easily forgotten ... one
part of the lyrics particularly
stand out:


别让昨天变围墙 要拿今天当翅膀
可以失恋不能失去了 对幸福的渴望
暗恋最好撑把伞 小雨大雪都会下
爱就像高跟鞋 越美的越容易拐一下
难免受伤重要的是不要留下疤
没有阴影才不害怕
为了梦想 痛着成长


'可以失恋不能失去了 对幸福的渴望'
loves this line a lot ... I
think no matter what
happen I will
nvr give
up on my vision of
love ... it's not
easy ... but i think
it can be done
