Sunday pOst~ "Wanted"

wOke up @ 12pm this nOOn. Went tO help dear to wash his bike until 1plus den tOok lunch - chicken rice. After having lunch, surf net & update my blOg~ dear went back to sleep & wOke up @ 5plus~ Had our dinner & decided to gO yIshun tO watch the shOw tat we have been wanting to watch: "Wanted".. Juz realised that there is anOther shOw tat we wanted to catch: "21".. Only realised it tOday. If we haf knOwn yesterday, would have watched it @ VivO liaO~~ ^_^ the only show tat is nOt selling fast~~~

Left his place @ 7pm & got caught in a minor rain~ Reached hOme @ 730pm & went back to put my laptop. Thereafter, went to Yishun Ten to buy tickets to the well-anticipated show~~ bOught tickets for the 2050hrs show. Since we reached there @ 8pm, we still haf abt 1 hr to kill.. sO decided to gO nOrthpoint to dO some window-shopping~

Quite sian walking arOund..saw a few things that i wanna buy but cant..cOs nO mOney ma.. den I osO need to start saving mOney...muz cOntrol!~~ After i get my pay, I wanna buy a laptop, a LG fone (still deciding btw LG Viewty or the S20 fOne, well..will dO more research!), start my driving lessOns (& hopefully get my licence by the end of this yr) etc~~

went for our show..well.. the sHow is quite nice.. many special effects + many shOts of Sexy Angelina jOlie (my all time fav).. ^_^



The show is abt Wesley Gibson, who will become a super-hero in 2008. This show is shown in a 3rd person point of view.
Beginning of the show is a narration by Wesley, who told us abt himself: He is a 25 yr old Account Manager who is always prone to anxiety attacks. A Mr Nice Guy, who is always bullied, Wesley was the most disaffected person on earth & seem domed to be a lOser~~ Until he met Fox (Angelina Jolie)..

He was told tat his father was in a Fraternity & was killed by a traitor named "Cross". He was convinced by the sexy Fox to join the Fraternity, a secret society which trains him to become an assasilin by using lightning-quick reflexes and phenomenal agility..

Many special effects were used (looks too goOd & unbelieveable to be true..) The Frat lives by an ancient, unbreakable code: carry out the death orders given by fate itself. This Frat is lead by a charasmatic leader, Sloan (Morgan Freeman)..

In the beginning, you will believe what the movie wants you to believe.. But the web of deceit slowly unravels~ There is more to his dangerous associates than meets the eye...

I quite enjoyed the show.. but feels that the ending is quite lame lo.. hahaha... I guess I will give this show 3 star out of 5~~

Sypnosis taken from GV website:

Based upon Mark Millars explosive graphic novel series and helmed by stunning visualist director Timur Bekmambetovcreator of the most successful Russian film franchise in history, the Night Watch seriesWanted tells the tale of one apathetic nobodys transformation into an unparalleled enforcer of justice. In 2008, the world will be introduced to a hero for a new generation: Wesley Gibson. 25-year-old Wes (James McAvoy) was the most disaffected, cube-dwelling drone the planet had ever known. His boss chewed him out hourly, his girlfriend ignored him routinely and his life plodded on interminably. Everyone was certain this disengaged slacker would amount to nothing. There was little else for Wes to do but wile away the days and die in his slow, clock-punching rut. Until he met a woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie). After his estranged father is murdered, the deadly sexy Fox recruits Wes into the Fraternity, a secret society that trains Wes to avenge his dads death by unlocking his dormant powers. As she teaches him how to develop lightning-quick reflexes and phenomenal agility, Wes discovers this team lives by an ancient, unbreakable code: carry out the death orders given by fate itself. With wickedly brilliant tutorsincluding the Fraternitys enigmatic leader, Sloan (Morgan Freeman)Wes grows to enjoy all the strength he ever wanted. But, slowly, he begins to realize there is more to his dangerous associates than meets the eye. And as he wavers between newfound heroism and vengeance, Wes will come to learn what no one could ever teach him: he alone controls his destiny.

When we reached there, Johan, Daniel & Tin were already there... Next came Maria, Gail, Aileen & Bee Lian. Lastly, Clint arrived with his gf.. Everyone commented that there is a wide variety of food for us to choose from.. Surprisingly, the food was very good this time rd (the last time i went like not much varieties).. Bee Lian left slighly earlier as she got another dinner to attend. (Thanks for coming though)

Friday happenings

Friday has been a great yet busy day for me... it's my 2nd last day @ CSC... Though most of the staff @ Henderson Building are aware that I am leaving, those PS & AM staff stationed @ client site are still in de dark.. Feel restless & excited @ de same time..

"Sian"


"Bo liao"


"Excited"

Sidetrack a bit..Originally, I wanted to send an email to all the staff about my last day earlier.. I tot that I can use the same email to intro my replacement as well. However, next Monday will be my last day yet they have not hired a replacement for me!~ can you believe it? I gave like 1.1mth notice to the company but till now still no replacement!~ Anyway BL told me that they have more or less confirmed a Malay lady liao.. But she still need to serve 1 mth notice before she can start work here... Kaoz.. In the meantime, they have hired a temp girl for now and she will be coming in on Monday.. Very sian... Den she told me I still need to do a "Manual" for the replacement.. Usually when ppl handover, the one who is leaving should haf an easy life.. The replacement is supposed to take notes of what to do rite.. Haizzz..Ming hao ku ah...

Ok..enuf of my rambling & side tracking... I sent out an email in the noOn to all the contract staff & also another email to all the perm ppl.. telling them that I am leaving & my last day will be next Monday... Wah.. After that email is out.. I got loads of emails coming in, bombarding my mailbox.. A lot of them wished me well for my future endeavors & thanked me for my support all these while... Even more expressed their surprise @ my leaving & asked me why.. Some even called to chat... Haha... Anyway... I will miss all these staff of mine..

During lunch time, we (me, dear fren & NW) decided to go Kavitha's house to visit her (she juz gave birth recently).. Her place is @ St George's Rd.. Quite difficult to find.. tOOk some fOtOs while I was in NW's car.. (toO bored..hee)..

('_')

Reached Kavitha place abt 1plus.. Her baby boy is tiny.. but got long limbs.. sure take after Kavitha (",) Kavitha's parents are really hospitable & warm (too re qin le..haha) They insisted that we haf our lunch @ their house and out of courtesy, we accepted. Indian Vegetarian Food-- Hmmm, 1st time i tasked home-cooked one.. To my surprise, it doesn't taste too bad~ I especially like the steamed rice & the yogurt =) I think dear fren's fav muz be the indian keropok as she ate 2 or 3 of tat~ I only toOk one cos feel tat it's too oily.. haha.. Kavitha & her dad keep asking us to have more rice & all... I was actually very full liao.. but feel paiseh & it's quite rude to reject their kind intentions.. so no choice.. stuff myself though i'm really full..luckily NW helped out in eating some of it.. After de lunch, we ate some indian sweets & chatted a bit more.. Kavitha's brother is getting married in India end of tis yr or early next yr.. and Kavitha's father extended the invitation to us!~ I might gO if the time comes as it will be a good chance to "jian shi jian shi" a traditional Indian Wedding ceremony + the chance to go India & rackey! haha.. We finally left at ard 230pm, but not before taking some fotos!~

Farewell oN 25o6o8

Was very pissed off yesterday nite over some mundane thingy... having a heavy heart the whole day... ignOring sms sent... anyway I'm reali busy @ work too... still in office now.. been working the whole day non-stop... now oredi 9pm liao i still in office... sigh...

this noOn, Nga wOOn & Bee Lian toOk me out for my farewell lunch, together with Anthea & dear fren... Nga wOOn is the "good bOss" i am always talking about.. She has reali helped me alOt during my time here, requesting for a laptop for me, proposing a high increment for me for these 2 yrs.. tOO bad she is nOt my direct boss. If she is, I guess I would nOt have decided to leave the cOmpany oredi (",)

anyway she gave a few options for me to choose: "Zi Ran" Restaurant @ Redhill, Prime Revolving Restaurant.. bUt @ dear fren's suggestion, I decided on hOnjin Japanese Restaurant @ Chow House (Tanjong Pagar. Made a reservation for 5 peeps @ 1245pm. @ 1225pm, we toOk Nga Woon's car & reached there ard 1250pm.

1st time i have been there.. very nice ambience, very authentic "Jap" settings. We were shown to the 2nd level in a small partitioned area... 1st loOk @ the menu.. Wah!~~ Quite expensive wor.. hahha... ordered some sashimi (4 slices - Maguro & salmon) as starters for myself.. the rest dun wan (Anthea & BeeLian dun wan to eat, dear fren cannot eat, Nga Woon dun take raw food).. my 1st bite (",).. is like heaven~ thick slice of fresh sashimi~ Can understand why it is much more expensive than Sakae Sushi (fresh, sweet & very QQ feeling).. Hmmm...very contented.

Our food finally arrived after like 20 mins.. toOk some fotOs & started digging into our sumptuous food.. Anthea & Nga Woon ordered some Udon, Bee Lian ordered a Tempura set, flat fish & fried tofu (sharing), dear fren ordered unagi set & I ordered sukiyaki beef set. After finishing the food (very very full & contented), we ordered desserts (some very nice cakes ~ forgot to take photo for these) Finally, we called for the bill ($200++).. got a call during lunch: My dear uncle Roy (Finance) wanted to "date" me tmr for my farewell lunch! (Korean fOod i heard)~~ So lunch for tmr is settled (",).. Supposed to meet PK & Sidney for lunch tmr but will be postponing to next Monday (my official last day!!) loh... cOs rOy say muz give him priOrity ma.. hahaha

after lunch went back to wOrk.. all the way until nOw lo.. gOing back home liaO.. office only left me & ramesh & sidney.. & they threatening to leave me alOne here... scary!! Ok~~ phOtOs taken during my farewell lunch!!
