movie + shopping = happy mee

LE GRAND CHEF. nice! watched it last night. at first i thought it was just one of those boring korean flicks, but it was pretty interesting and very touching. the movie is about 2 chefs competing for an old mouldy knife used by the royal chef dunno how many donkey years ago. it would represent that he is the true descendant of the royal chef. one uses unscrupulous methods to win; the other uses his heart. needless to say, the humane one wins.

it's touching because in the end, sung-chan (the good one), sacrifices his cow, which he kept since young, for the competition. his winning dish in the finals was also the last thing his grandfather taught him before he passed away. it makes you feel like tearing when you see sung-chan cry, cos he's able to do it so...nicely. lols. not to mention he's pretty good-looking as well. XD go watch it! hahas.

went shopping yesterday too. bought a pair of boots! yippee! i've waited for sooo long and now they finally come in my size! -_-''' they're on sale too. only 70 bucks for knee-high boots! worth it bo? although i know i won't be wearing it so often, but i really like boots. so, oh wells. hehe. went chinatown also. lucky i had the big boots box to 'open a path' for me, otherwise i'd prolly be squished. zzZz. got another top, on sale too! niceee.

another day of shrimp-shopping and clothes-hunting tml. =]

work or study??

despite trying to explain to my family how work experience is better than studying, i'm kinda tempted to apply for uni. tsk. SIM? NTU? business? english lit? geez.

the english & psychology course at SIM looks pretty interesting. but there aren't many editorial jobs around. NTU's tourism course is useful, but i'll most probably be taking it up just to escape working life for another few years. haish.

suddenly i'm not looking forward to working. but yet i know i have to get a job asap. haiz. heeelllppp!

goodbye 2007

before i begin ranting about the past year, i would just like to say: i do not appreciate being woken up at 4am to listen to a bunch of crap. okay, maybe not all is crap, but 80% of it was just bullsh*t. =.=

okay, last post of 2007. i don’t know if this year should be eventful or not. though i’ve spent quite some time this year slacking/rotting at home, i guess many things did happen. end of poly life, new beginning, new job(s), new relationship, new and old acquaintances, new problems…sighx. i wonder if it’s right to say that my downs outweigh my ups.

but i guess i should be thankful for the ups.

• end of poly life : no more rushing projects, no more pia-ing exams, no more sucky classmates, no more sucky lecturers and tutors, no more……fun.
• meeting old friends : seeing shuhui, logas, bonson & yong he after so many years. nice!
• new job(s) : working at hsbc wasn’t as good as i expected, but pay was good. new job at ecsf, pay sucks, but i can expect lots of new stuff to learn. either one, i think it helped me grow up. =]
• treasured friendships : although end of poly life meant that we couldn’t meet everyday, it also meant that we would treasure our meetings more. special thanks to cher & zhu. yet another year gone; thanks for sticking by me all these years. muacks!

lol can’t think of anymore. tsk. pretty tempted to list my downs too, but nahs, better not ruin any moods. hehex. so i’ll list my new year resolutions instead.

• lose weight (beri important!)
• break free from being over-protected
• don’t make any mistakes at work
• meet up more often with friends
• & most importantly, grow up

there are more, but i don’t suppose anyone would be interested to read everything. lol. let’s just hope 2008 will be more smooth-sailing for everyone!

not-so-heavy things now. watched underdog just now, and stardust yesterday. charlie cox looks hot and i find claire danes super chio. lols. yeah yeah, shoeshine rocks too. xD pretty tempted to just stay home and rot the last few hours of 2007, but it seems that i have a (company) dinner to go to. sads.

oh wells. HAPPY 2008 EVERYONE~!!
