    The Prestige

     
    Watched a pretty good show today.... alot better than the rubbish I've watched recently.
     
    Do catch it if you have the time, it may be a tad... just a tad draggy thou but the story is worth it.
     
    "Every great magic trick consists of three acts. The first act is called The Pledge: the magician shows you something ordinary, but of course, it probably isn't. The second act is called The Turn. The magician makes his ordinary something do something extraordinary. Now, if you're looking for the secret…you won't find it. That's why there's a third act, called The Prestige. This is the part with the twists and turns, where lives hang in the balance, and you see something shocking you've never seen before."

    Liberation

     
    Latest update (sorry, been awhile since i last added in stuffs so kinda having a rush today!)
     
    I have finally resigned from my current job. The feeling was good...
    After the recent sagas plus serious consideration on what i really wanted, I decided to move on.
     
    As for where i am going to, cant publish it here... *haahaa*
     
    Starting my new job in Jan 2007 (serving my 2 months notice now.... yes..... 2 months!)
     
    Anyways, now i am just hoping to be able to go through this 2 months in peace.

    Another funny episode involving my sister

     
    Her hamster decided to remove all the food that he packed for summer camp onto her head!
    (Well, in the first place... i have no idea why she put him on her head thou. But the amount of food he removed from his stash really looks like he was preparing to go for summer camp! *Haahaaa*  )

    My godson's surprise visit!

     
    It's been like 3 months since i last saw Junlong and boy do i miss him!
     
    Quite cute really cos he hasn't been to my place for the longest time and Annette decided to bring him by (thanks to the fact that her hubby was out of town so she can sneak him out for a visit! hahahah). He's got new teeth too! Cool!!
     
    Murphy (my stupid shih tzu) gave him a big welcome (many happy barks actually) when he was at the door but he got frightened. As a result, he spent the 1st 1/2 hr being really cranky and it's just hilarious if you saw him crawling past murphy's cage and backing away at super high speed crawling towards his mummy when he realises he is extremely close to the doggy.
     
    He also tried to eat my sofa ... and possibly the bed and everything he could lay his hands on!
     
    Anyways, we all (myself, my mum, sis, bro and alvin) had such a lovely time just watching him playing, grumbling, making funny noises and walking around circumferences (he needs support to walk so he will hold the sides of everything to move ard and it was really really funnie. Imagine u cannot swim so you stay inside the pool and move ard the perimeters holding on to the side... but it's not you, it's a miniature human).
     
    The last i saw him, he couldn't even sit up straight or crawl at lightning speed... looking at him, i just wanna go... AWwwwwwww!
     
    Here's some pictures.... he was quite camera shy thou.
     
     

    Minor Accident...

     
    Sometimes i wonder if the weirdest things happen to me and me only.
     
    I mean reallyyyyyyyy....... It's amazing.
     
    Many yrs back, i was beaten up by a road bully... guy got 3months jail term (retribution! for more details abt this, ask me directly...)
     
    I walk into road signs (i guess that was just dumbness on my part)
     
    I bite pple on the bus (while i was in sec sch and i swear it was just an accident... moral of the story: never talk vigourously when you are on the public bus lest the idiotic bus driver decides to do an e-brake).
     
    My petrol gets stolen the night i topped it up.
     
    Crazy people removed parts from my bike while it was parked in SUNTEC (which the mechanic said is really rare that such parts get stolen).
     
    I skidded on wet cement and almost got my sister killed (if only i had not gone to Changi Village for $2 lasi lemak).
     
    The list is really endless....
     
    Most recently, i met with a minor accident... stupid bike came up on my left side (hiding at my blind spot obviously) while i was about to make a left turn and we collided as we both turned at the same time and well, i guess i felt like ironing my pants...while i was wearing it.... *haha* i.... sigh.... collected another scar on my leg as a result of sticking my left calve onto his exhaust pipe. The best part is... accident was on the 20th October. And my wound hasnt healed...i mean it is healing now but it got infected along the way so there...  
     
    tell me if i'm just unlucky. *turns hysterical*

    Listen to mum....

     
    Am particularly caught by one of Jay Chou's song... here's a snippet of the part i love most.
     
    妈妈的心她不让你看见
    温暖的事都在她心里面
    有空就得多摸摸她的手
    把手牵着一起梦游

    听妈妈的话别让她受伤
    想快快长大才能保护她
    美丽的白发幸福中发芽
    天使的魔法温暖中慈祥
    everyone...take some time, love your mum!

    Grace Buy aka Ma Shuhui's Wedding

     
    My childhood fren of 25 yrs (I knew her since i was like 2 yrs old! Beat that!!! ) got married yesterday. I missed the church wedding cos i was sick but i made sure i turned up at the wedding dinner today!
     
    2 thoughts:
     
    1) I had an overwhelming joy to see her so happy. Afterall, I only have ONE fren whom i've known since i was 2! *grins* And my oh my, she was such a pretty sight to behold! (though i have to admit she kinda spoilt the whole princessy thing with her garung, gungho, and i have to add a tad... just a tad "Shi san dian' - ness! But hey, as her hubby says... "be yourself!". that's the whole point of why i love her so much as well... Haahaa!
     
    2) Ok, i was happy but i also felt weird because i saw loads of familiar faces but i cannot remember a single one of them. So i could only politely wave back and smile back. At the same time, i was constantly bugged about why am i not eating this and not eating that, why i din go to church, why i this and why i that...etc by this lady and her hubby ( wun mention names). Plus the only other 2 fella i know at my table was just talking amongst themselves majority of the time. Generally, i guess i was like at my quietest tonight (apart from the 2 times i saw grace: 1 during phototaking and 1 when i left and gave her one big hug and a big kiss plus take a picture).
     
    Anyways, enough of my rambling...
    Here's a picture of the lovely couple!!!
