My manager corrects my silly grammar errors in my letter replies..
After reading through my blog, I discover lots of grammar and spelling errors...
I realises I could not speak proper or pronounce proper English...
I over-rely on MS-Word and www.dictionary.com....
This is how bad I am...
Primary school - I got Band 3 for English so often, that I got used to it.
Secondary school - After Sec 1, which I obtained a C5 in Final Year exam. Since then, I have been on track record of F9.
'O' Level - I really wonder how I got D7...
Poly - This is where my English pick up, through the class-mates around me who are mostly potato-eaters. My weekend job does help in my language improvement.
Currently, I doubt I have improve much since then...

Red Cliff - 赤壁
24 July 08
Yesterday morning I went Polyclinic to check on my aching back. After lunch, I went over Plaza Singapura redeem my free ticket (points earned by UOB card) at Golden Village.
So this is the day where I watch, which I feel, is the most entertaining movie taken from China history, "Romance of the Three Kingdom".
Brought my popcorn, sat down and muach away, preparing for this 2.5hrs movie. Heard from a few friends saying that, the movie was really draggy, and it ended before boats were even burnt. But I feel it is certainly a good attempt by John Woo. How the characters interact (some funny scenes between Tony Leung and Takeshi Kaneshiro), how the storyline move, the feeling of is better as compared to other asian directors.
How the generals of both armies crashed, how swift and cool those characters handle the weapons were really nice! It seems like watching real-life "Dynasty Warriors" (A action game featured on PS3, XBox & Windows XP.) Added to that, the casts were nicely fitted into the characters.
But it is a pity that those famous characters, e.g. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, weren't those more well-known actors. I was actually daydreaming about Andy Lau as Zhao Yun *LoL!! Think the reason is those characters camera roll time isn't that much, imagine hiring those well-known actors, in the end you get a hard time thinking about how to fit them in, how to increase their on-screen timing. Wages paid is also a problem.
Well, overall, it is a biggest and more worthwhile watching chinese movie. But one thing to ponder a thought, in view of the huge amount spent, if audiences managed to sleep in cinema, this is simply a big failure. I feel this worth watching during Fridays but without your popcorns.

The Dark Knight
22 July 08
Just went to catch "The Dark Knight" at Toa Payoh Eng Wah.
Allow me some time to explain why did I intend to watch this movie....
Since childhood I never taken a liking in watch superheros films.. Never did I got excited over Superman pushing planet Earth away from an asteroid, neither do I glued to tv staring at how Spidy did a freeze on New York City building. In fact, I detest superhero movies. But this new series of Batman, absolutely change my mind, as I turn my head back, watching the first episode, "Batman begins".
And I will say it is the BEST Batman movie I ever watch as compared to the nipples perking suit wore by George Clooney, the silly penguin thingy that tried to bomb around at Gotham City. But I can say, you won't regret stepping into the cinema for this 'new' BattyMan by this director. (I dun mind ever paying the weekend charge)
Anyway, the first episode certainly makes me wanna be there tonight, inside the cinema, trumbling alone...
Brought a single ticket. That fella who I brought the ticket from, indeed give me a single ticket, PLUS center seat but it is next to a parapet wall.. *argh...
1840hrs... Timer tick off for this 150 minutes movie..
First scene blast away by a few jokers robbing the bank. Till then I stay glued to my seat, getting a shock once awhile the charming-looking Christian Bale (I swear I'm not GAY.. He look really great!) disguise as Batman turned up in front the scene.
Stared at how the Joker amazinly act out by the late Heath Ledger, poked a pen-knife into the villian's mouth.
I thought this two mentioned are the only one really worthwhile paying for the ticket price. Erm.. This is another guy... He did not appear in any scenes, but he contribute to Why this movie is currently number one in US.
Christopher Nolan
This movie is never about how hero win over villians. (Which is why I like it.) Whereas it dig really deep into the world of Joker. Why he kills.. How well he plans as he kills.. How he was transform into this state.. And it is all reveal in a straightforward manner. (He certainly deserve credit for that.)
Batman character did not really have a large breakthrough. But he is cool as ever. How the camera shot the way he glided around the building, riding on his Lambor. Stunning indeed. It is a little pity part of the movie, Probably the focus was much on Joker.
Whatever it is, Please watch it if you like the first episode! Let's see if I watch 'Red Cliff' tomorrow, if so, I will tell you about it.

Today morning, after taking med. I was like sleep-walking to bus stop... Luckily I get my stuffs right.. Answer every phone call with my sexy yet sore voice... *argh...
Tomorrow, hopefully I feel beta...
Yesterday while resting, happen to hear this song over 987FM. It is call "Better On Time" by Leona Lewis (she is a great vocal and beautiful look.) Enjoy!

Jason Mraz - I'm yours
11 Jul 08
Have you hear this song over the radio?? I fall in love with after listening to it for the 1st time!
I simply love this part of the lyrics :
" I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find
love love love love "

I'm gonna miss 4-7 July
9 Jul 08
Last weekend was certainly a very different weekend. First time in my life, I didn't take bus from 4 Jul, 7pm till 7 Jul, 6pm.
Coz we rented a Lancer (AT) and off we cruised off to Pasir Ris Downtown East for my lovely nephew's 2nd Birthday. Fetching Jazs, driving my Mum home. *Woo~
I drove to work on 5 Jul. Simply feel damn shiok ah! With the auto gear, ensure nothing goes wrong. We seem like in a dream! When parking, hunted our way through, trying to get into a free parking area.
After the chalet, on 6 Jul, was cruising time on the road. Wandering to where ever we want! *Coolz~ I'm very happy that Jazs, Mum enjoyed the ride up to Vivo City, Mt. Faber, Henderson Waves. With a transport, we managed to get to the New Marina South Pier. (You should go over there, take a look at the sea view from the Roof. *Amazing!
But on 7 Jul, where the horse carriage returned back to it original self - Pumpkin. Next day of work, felt kinda weird taking a bus to work. *Haha! After-effect of over relying on the vehicle. From these 4 days, we also learn over the difficult part of owning a vehicle currently. 1 miss-cue turn, you end up crossing the ERP. It costs $70 just to top-up 3/4 tank!
Even now CNG is increasing the price. Now ERP is around 80+ island wide. I simply can't find a better reason to buy even a 2nd-hand car now! *Go fly kite lo..
