Ok, finally it's out.
I've checked Cathay Pacific Inflight entertainment for the month of Dec and the following are some of the movies which I've shortlisted.
Frankly speaking, I was hoping they will have more interesting new release than these... well...

From SG to HK
1. 500 Days of Summer!
Dear just watched this in Vancouver with his friends and they all like it. So yeah!!! I can watch it on the flight for free!!!

2. On His Majesty's Secret Service (HK Movie)
Some crazy show by Wong Jing..

There's "Hua Bi" too.. see which one I'll be in the mood for then.. there's Pinocchio too, so can watch that too. Or what about "The Time Traveler's Wife"? sounds good too.

But my flight is only 3-4hrs? So I'll most probably need 2 movies...

From HK to Vancouver
1. UP
I wanted to catch this in cinema, so it's a good thing that I didn't..

2. Finding Nemo
I didn't watch this despite channel 5 showing this on tv for qt a few times alr. so it's another good thing again.

3. Julie and Julia
Since it's a comedy, shouldn't be too bad right? But after watching the trailer, maybe I'll put this last..

4. Funny People
Errr... not heard of this movie... but seems funny..

5. Harry Potter and the half blood Prince!
I just finished that book, so I may rewatch this movie!! yeah!!

And there's a few random ones which I may watch if I've run out of things to do... but 5 movies should be more than enough, given that the flight is 12hrs and I still need to sleep to get ready for my new day in Vancouver!!!

Btw, they will be showing 300 too... but it's so gory n sad, I doubt I will even want to come across that channel.. eeks!

Looking for Jan program!! But at least Dear will be by my side then, so if there's nothing good to watch, I will always have him to chat with.

Love Dear..

I wanted to say Dear has been very nice to me lately.. because he has been waking up v early to talk to me... Now Vancouver has their time adjusted to 1 hr earlier.. meaning instead of a 15hrs time difference, it's now 16hrs!!!
But just as I told him I'm going to blog about how sweet he is, he kept quiet n ignore me while happily typing on his laptop, chatting with his colleague.

MEN... can't praise them, can we?

And they say women are very critical towards them... OK, so now it's women's fault la!

FINE.


Work has been pretty busy as the 'ka kia' has left the company.. so I'm picking alot of my previous work back to do... well.. no choice...
But at least time passes more quickly than before when one is occupied, right? So I've no grumbles over that.

Have been reading Harry Potter (I started with the 6th book and now I'm officially starting from the First book) Well, it's definitely very interesting to read.. light hearted.. after reading Dan Brown, I think I need something light to clear the palate. Also, I can feel the change of mood as I jump from the 6th book to the 1st book.. very interesting.. shall watch the movie again also...

Well... I will have more updates to come on the Thur dinner with the big shots!

I miss the days when Dear and I go to the arcade at Suntec (near kbox) and stood there for hours looking at people playing the sweets jackpot machine (the one which u have to scoop up the sweets below so that it will push down the other sweets and get JACKPOT to win the soft toy.)

It's a way to go for cheap dates when u're on a tight budget hehehehe...

Like Dear's MSN nick, one week has gone by just like that....
Not only was Dear sick, it's been a happening week at work too...

My MD has been FIRED!
To put it diplomatically, he's leadership style does not fit our company culture, hence he's asked to leave.

But to me, and to whoever had been asked to leave, there's just no diplomatic way to make this sound better. Asked to leave means fired, and that's it.

A few of us were qt sad, because he has been a leader whom marks his words. When he says he will fix it, he WILL fix. And he's open and friendly and down to earth. No airs around him (e.g. I always wonder what is the colour of the polo tee which he always wears. Is it supposed to be grey? Or was it initially white then he wears n wash n wear n wash till it becomes grey? OR!! Worst still, it was black to begin with, and he washed till it becomes grey??!!?) well, u get what I mean.. he doesn't wear those expensive brand n make u feel that there's a difference between u and him, Although there's a difference between u and him.

And also, most importantly, he's a charming man.

He's the kind of man I had always wanted. Matured, rich, successful in career, can cook (he can cook chilli and black pepper crab! and he cooked a 5 course dinner for his managers.. TWICE!!) and handsome! He's old... abt 50+? But his charm wooOOoo... even a girl like me, who can alr be his daughter, still can fall for him.. hahahaha!

The company has been and still is in a mess.
But we have to live by my ex-MD slogan..
"Can We Fix It?"
"YES WE CAN!"

gosh... no more eye candy...
but at least this new MD is pretty!

Decluttering- to make way for a new start.

Was staring out of the window this afternoon, looking at the rain pouring down.
It feels like back to uni days, when I was busy cramming the content into my brain.
Then when I'm tired to studying, my thoughts will wander~ think about my future, think abt what kind of jobs I would be doing, the kind of guy my bf will be etc...
And today, the same feeling and thoughts struck me.

What lies in the future?
or rather, next yr...

It's time for me to reconsider~

Would u still go to work if your doctor gives u 2 days of mc?

hmm...

Ok I'm gg to give a Social studies kind of answer.

It depends................

....depends on what kind of illness I got. If I've fever/cough/flu and I still go to work, that's irresponsible. If it's stomachache, u probably can't concentrate when u're working and may even commit mistakes in ur work, which is unfavourable. If you have diarrhea, then of course u shouldn't go to work! What if u can't control and poo on ur pants! That's gg to reflect so badly of u, not to mention the *EKKS* smell. So inconsiderate towards to your fellow colleague.

.....depends on the importance/urgency of the job. If my work is really damn impt and without me the whole company can't function. But then again, if my company can do without a MD for 2 months and it was still business as usual, how important can u be, right? Ok maybe ur job is really damn important, like a doctor saving life, fair enough. BUT!!! If u're a doctor and u're sick, all the more u shouldn't be work right!

Moreover, if your doctor gives u 2 days of mc, there must be a reason for that right? I mean, why not 1 day or 3 days? Why 2 days?
From my years of experience with doctors, GP to be exact, I derived the following about the number of days of MC given:

1 day is given to you - Chao4 geng1! But since u're paying for it and u already pon lesson/work, ok la give it to u. But 1 day only!!

3-4 days - you are really seriously very extremely ill. High fever, vomitting, diarrhea...so poor thing~~Take 3 days mc and rest well at home ok. Doubt u can go anywhere anyway.

2 weeks - quickly wear the mask! stay away from children and elderly. Guess what, u have chicken pox!

>2weeks - I will refer you to the hospital. Maybe will not see you again.

So what does 2 days of mc mean??

It means you are sick, but not the super serious kind. All u need is lots of rest and water and u will get well soon in 2 days time.

And yet! My colleague came to work for the past 2 days despite having 2 days MC from the doctor.
Ask him why he came to work and even worked OT, his reply was,
"Hey sis, alot of work to do la!"

Come on la, work impt or ur health impt? If 2 days rest can make u healthy again, what can be more impt than these 2 days?
And because he refuse to stay at home despite repeatedly being issued 2 days MC, he hasn't recovered since 2 weeks ago.
Is it worth it?

Alot of work?
Heck la~

One moment, u're living in bliss and life is a bed of roses.
It's a beautiful life, u sing.

Then PIANG!

Shit falls from the sky and the simplest thing can just go wrong somehow.
You can trip over ur own feet or slam ur arm on the wall just as u are about to make a turn at the corner.

You get what I mean?

I'm always proned to such thing, and I don't know why...

Maybe it's Monday..
Oh great, hopefully Tuesday will be better...

It's 1130pm and I'm waiting for BF to be online.
Havent seen him since Sat afternoon because he went to celebrate Mid-autumn festival with the other Singaporeans in Vancouver. They played till 2am last night..how I know? Because bf still managed to gather energy to sms me at 5pm this evening, which is 2am over his side.. well still waiting for him now.

Age is catching up with me (stop reminding me that I'm approaching 24! I'm still stuck at 22.. Sweet 22 =)) My knee has been giving me problem. It's aching at the joint area.. my dad says it's due to too much high heel. I hate to say this, but I've to agree with him that he may be right..

HAIZ..
what to do??
What can women wear if we don't wear heel?

Esp to work?????

I mean yea u can argue we can wear flats or flat covered shoes, but IT'S NOT FLATTERING AT ALL! Esp since I'm not that endowed in the height part.

So how??
it's still heels all the way till I can't tahan anymore.

11.45pm... Bf still not online.. doubt I can wait too long either, it's Monday tml!!
Monday... time to work.
Monday... time to wear heels again.
Monday... time to wake up early again..

Oh did I mention that I'm falling in love with winter wear!! have been window shopping for winter coats, sweater and jacket. Not that I need a coat now since my aunt has lent hers to me, but it's so tempting!! Esp when I saw that down jacket in Zara!! Oh manz, it's pretty can! White colour and the material is so soft, though the whole coat is heavy. But oh manz.. they are really pretty!

Why don't we have winter in SG too? Then we can buy and wear those nice jackets n coats woohoo!

But the down side is they are super ex...=(

In the end, I have to make do with a green knit wear from Zara.. well, at least I've bought something! Yeah!

Oh, Bf is online! Finally.. tata~
