我该做些什么？

Friday, January 12, 2007

Maybe because I have a blog, there is this responsibility that I have to update it. A lot of things occurred. However, most of them I won't want to put it down here. So I don't have much to write here. Not trying to hide, just don't wish to talk about it. All I can say is, we cannot foresee what is going to happen to us the very next moment. Life is full of surprises...

往往坏人都会令人讨厌。
做坏人，谁都不想。
但如果每人做坏人，
这世上哪来的好人呢？
做坏人其实不容易。
我做了。。。

My company organise the movie screening. Last minute got HY to go. Free tickets, don't waste. End up when I reached there, I was able to get 4 tickets coz many of my colleagues didn't turn up.

ERAGON, a fantasy adventure for young people based on the phenomenally successful novel by Christopher Paolini – the first book in the young author’s epic Inheritance Trilogy – is a timeless yet modern tale. The book’s most fantastical character – a flying dragon named Saphira – arrives via the high-tech wizardry of the industry’s most honored visual effects houses: WETA Digital (the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "King Kong") and Industrial Light & Magic (the "Star Wars" films, "Jurassic Park"). In addition, WETA created ERAGON’s climactic and massive battle scene, in which the forces of good, led by the young Dragon Rider Eragon and Saphira, battle the armies of the evil King Galbatorix. For over two millennia, dragons have been – depending on the culture and times – beloved, feared, or even worshipped. Today, the mythical creatures are a mainstay of pop culture. ERAGON’s Saphira is inspired by the rich heritage of the storied winged creatures, but for the first time, the power of state-of-the-art computer generated imagery brings myth to photo-real, emotional life. What "Jurassic Park" was to dinosaurs, ERAGON is to dragons. Indeed, Saphira is a step beyond the dinosaurs of "Jurassic Park," as her facial imagery conveys thoughts and feelings.

Eragon has nice graphics. The story very normal. No excitement. And I yawned. LOTR better. 2.5/5

My big boss hired someone to take over my job. Sounds like kind a demotion. =( What to do? They paying her more so let her do all that work loh. So I supposed to have a big burden off my shoulders? Currently no loh. My new boss fell sick and been on MC for the whole month. She took over from me for a few days and I have to stand in for her now... =( Hope I getting paid for all that hard work I am going thru now... Otherwise really waste my effort...

Organised a BBQ for my gang of WoW players. We raided the Changi Beach Park. Good thing was that it wasn't raining that night. It's the monsoon season and it was raining non-stop for the past few days. Was pretty relieved when I saw the sun in the afternoon. We had a lot of fun and a lot of booze. I was pretty high that nights, judging from how much Tequila I drank. Later we ended up at Madmonk's place for second round and mahjong. Never had so much to drink for a long time. Couldn't control myself. Had so many things on my mind, finally got a mean to let me forget some of them for a while.

New Year's eve was at Monalisaevil's place. Had drinks, played Dota and pool. Bourne also invited us to his place to have fun. We watched movies thru the night. All of them 'drop dead' while I was still playing the Xbox game. Couldn't sleep...

Avoiding things is becoming quite a habit. Any head on collision will always result in series of aftershocks which tends to snowball... Sometimes just by staying out of sight makes things easier.

不知道这算什么。。。
不知道该做什么。。。
处在进退两难的情况，
感到自己迷失了方向。。。
想知道，但不敢去问。。。
看到了，却躲在远方。。。
想逃避一切，是对的选择吗？

Just gotten my wires tighten. Soon it will be very painful and I won't be able to eat again. Sometimes I really questioned myself why I am going thru all this. What's the real reason? Come to think of it... I really don't know...

还好吗？

Went out with RT to watch Blood Diamond. She say she didn't notice my jaw until I put on the braces. =( She say I put liao my jaw more tilted... We had supper at Blk 85. Been a while since I last went there...

Set against the backdrop of the chaos and civil war that enveloped 1990s Sierra Leone, "Blood Diamond" is the story of Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio), an ex-mercenary from Zimbabwe, and Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou), a Mende fisherman. Both men are African, but their histories and their circumstances are as different as any can be until their fates become joined in a common quest to recover a rare pink diamond, the kind of stone that can transform a life…or end it. Solomon, who has been taken from his family and forced to work in the diamond fields, finds the extraordinary gem and hides it at great risk, knowing if he is discovered, he will be killed instantly. But he also knows the diamond could not only provide the means to save his wife and daughters from a life as refugees but also help rescue his son, Dia, from an even worse fate as a child soldier. Archer, who has made his living trading diamonds for arms, learns of Solomon's hidden stone while in prison for smuggling. He knows a diamond like this is a once-in-a-lifetime find—valuable enough to be his ticket out of Africa and away from the cycle of violence and corruption in which he has been a willing player. Enter Maddy Bowen (Jennifer Connelly), an idealistic American journalist who is in Sierra Leone to uncover the truth behind conflict diamonds, exposing the complicity of diamond industry leaders who have chosen profits over principles. Maddy seeks out Archer as a source for her article, but soon finds it is he who needs her even more. With Maddy's help, Archer and Solomon embark on a dangerous trek through rebel territory. Archer needs Solomon to find and recover the valuable pink diamond, but Solomon seeks something far more precious…his son.

Not a bad film. Makes you wonder whether you should stop buying diamonds... Sad... 3.5/5

"Was very devastated when I saw it. I thought things were more developed, but it seems it didn't go anyway since the beginning... I didn't know what to say..."

I have been delaying this issue for a long time. Kept myself distracted with many other things. =X

我不好。。。

Managed to clinch a major deal with my primary school classmate QW. =) It was a BIG project and many blood was shed during the process. Managed to finish the quest in 1 hr. First time doing that quest so was a bit tough for me. But it all went well and we both survived the ordeal. I guess it wasn’t that bad after all. Like to thank QW to give me that chance to do the quest. I and QW go way back. Had a lot of history, ups and downs… =) What can I say…

So many things, so little time... "Mojave" 10:00 PM
