Hello Ghost 赞！

watch this few months back, my brother recommended me this movie..and i asked if it's a ghost haunted movie.. hahaa... he said it's a comedy....

45 mins into the movie, i thought, hmmm another good acting from Cha Tae-Hyun, seems alright. pace of movie was slow and slightly heavy for a Saturday afternoon. story line looks normal, a guy fails to commit suicide and end up seeing ghost. he end up helping the 4 ghosts, to fulfill their dream so that they can leave him alone.

Towards the ending... it's where i can't control my tears... starts to pour like a running tap... it is another awesome movie by Cha Tae-Hyun and kudos to the script writer creating such a unexpected twist at the end which is so so heart breaking and sad... makes me 泪流满面。

赞！

Kuching rain rain come again..

I can hear the heavy downpour just right outside the window.. Penny sleeping on the next bed.. I very curious how it look like outside

So I decided to peek at the rain...

I love rain but not when trekking.. Like tonight it's just at the right moment at the right time...

喜欢上陈柏霖剧中的李大仁。。。

虽然李大仁对待爱情的个性不够坦白直率，但也让这重多年说不出的温柔和爱情加倍的让人疼惜爱惜。

现代的男女爱情也少了这种－慢慢爱。

大仁语录爱情就是一个moment的问题，可能因为一个moment而爱上一个人，所以也有可能因为错过了一个拒绝的moment而必须得爱上那个人。

dexter...still never fail to surprise me

this season is insanely gross and brutal... i had to arrange Monday show in this order so that the images of the murder scene won't linger in my sleep... which might leads to nightmare...

1. amazing race (while waiting for dexter to complete loading)

2. dexter

3. walking dead

4. the good wife :)

sometimes i will slot in fringe, fringe plot and storyline is getting nowhere... such a pity.. they had a good start in the first few season. let's hope they do turn and twist it back in shape... :)

那些年，没人爱的女孩

fang asked us if we want to watch "you are the apple of my eye?"ooohhh... 原来是那些年，九把刀之作。

I heard a lots of reviews and comments from waileng and kwanlin even before i watch the show. I do know that 柯振东露屁屁 in the movie... hehe..and finally managed to catch it in the cinema on a friday night and it was fully packed with teenagers... 年轻人啊...

come to think about it, 那些年，我到底做了什么~ ~ ~？！？！？？

我想了想 ，我不是沈佳宜 -- 功課優秀、長相出眾。我是周惠彬 -- 我的功课还不错、可是長相出错。哈哈！therefore my sec sch romance life = zero, 没有像电影里让人心痒痒的爱情。

我翻开我手写的日记，竟然发现我的日记都是罗曼‘屎’。 “我喜欢谁啦、今天又和谁擦肩而，我又和谁很谈得来啦， 谁又让老娘心动啊。” 我还蛮花吃的...求学时想男人。真可恶!

我想只有我班的“沈佳宜” 才经历过那样阳光般辉煌的爱情史吧。

看完了那些年也觉得没大家力捧的好看，因为没经历过嘛。但也让我feel到淡淡的青涩时光。
“那”是一部男生会懂，会喜欢，会大笑，会流泪 的一部电影。

                                   “对！就是幼稚！很幼稚！”

                               “笨蛋！大笨蛋！你什么都不懂……”

在女生眼里男生很幼稚，而且什么都不懂。哈哈哈！

觉得Ending有点可惜，我很喜欢“王子和公主快乐幸福的结局”...

但可能也就是这样才算得上是真实的人生。

“得到”与“付出”

有得必有失 是说我们对待某些事上不可能那么美好，所以说得到的同时也会失去一些。

孟子说：“鱼，我所欲也，熊掌，亦我所欲也，二者不可得兼，舍鱼而取熊掌者也。生，亦我所欲也，义，亦我所欲也，二者不可得兼，舍生而取义者也。”

I want a slice of life...

I love the name of Dexter's fishing boat...

We presents "The kukup committee 2011" - Except for Miss YYY who couldn't join us at the last min cos her grandma in ICU, linda as well missed this trip due to her dad's health (祝 Both，早日康复！). Bravo to all, who "donated" their precious weekend. Especially, yihui's dad who led the convoy all the way to kukup and walk to and fro the chalet to buy drinks for us 有点忏愧, yihui's mum who also came along regardless of her leg pain. keyong who brought laughter to us... we're a bunch of old sis and brothers and yet he fooled along with us. Jeffery (aka ah kok) he's 19 freshly from US, cause of him we had to revise our version of 猫抓老鼠 into Angmo version and became a huge mess and fun. Shuping who won our top prize! she's so good at guessing and attempting all the games, and super spontaneous attitude... ah hao won our third prize, she sometimes stoning and funny in her own way.. and sleepy yihui who came all the way from sg after her noah arks stuff, can tell that she's super duper tired with the 2 panda eye ring across the face, and yet she still joined us in kukup. :)  weekiat also joined us mid day due to project briefing, he's the wise voice in the committee, he usually give the final green light for the games suggestion (most of jx's games went into archival for "future" use) ... hahha old man mah must respect. xuejun - she was so dejected when we cancelled our trip a few years back. She's sooooo looking forward to kukup and we finally made it to kukup!! all thanks to kwanlin's idea for most of the game that keep us entertained throughout the trip. Junxiong...well.. we will have to thank him for clearing up all our plates and lights up the fireworks for us! and driving us there... 

thanks everyone for making it a memorable weekend at kukup...  

kang ji hwan 姜至煥 lie to me... haha i wish...

in the latest episode 10, Eun hyeGong Ah-jung (Yoon Eun-hye) saw Hyun Ki-joon (Kang Ji-hwan) picture and recorded video message on her handphone... and she repeatedly playback him saying her name.... "wooooo-ahhhh" how sweet was that... how the script was written took my breathe away... sweep me high up to the moon...my heart can't take such a romantic gesture... as they created his role as a no-nonsense, arrogant, straight and a man of few words... 

haaa.. i watched coffee house long time ago, he's still very charming and sexy with that little dot on his nose...   

Series of events mounting up to a big disaster

Never in a million year would i have thought that eating cucumber will get you sick and eventually leads to DEATH. And apparently, this killer cucumber claimed 14 lives and poison more than hundreds of people in Europe. It create an outbreak of cucumber epidemic. Asia are petrified by the news of Taiwanese food products containing cancer causing additives.

Well, more serious case of nature disaster (or should we refer as man-made?)  are slowly making their way into our calendar this year, iceland volcanic eruption getting frequent... another big tornadoes struck Missouri.. and not forgetting japan huge tsunami wave... earth shifting, climate changing, sea level rising...

Suddenly, i kind of feel that "yes", the world is going to come to an end.. she get worst day by day and one hit after another, and on one fine day - Armageddon. You can never ever be prepare for end-of-world, therefore outlive your life.. let it shine...

Omg...Kathmandu and now in Singapore

on my way to lunch today, i saw 2 guys talking at a junction. One of them looks familiar, i was thinking "who's this guy? is he one of my friend's friend... ... .. " think.. think.. think... aha...

we met one Singaporean couple at Kathmandu airport on business trip to work on the telecom network. They are pretty chatty and they make us feel like we're crazy people to be in Nepal for 19days... They joked about the frequent blackout and how unsafe after nightfall, if Nepal had more frequent flight, they will want to fly out that very day after the meeting. Lol..

The world Singapore is so small.. and as me and my colleagues are going to chinatown aston express for lunch to try out their menu. The 2 guys were heading there as well... sitting in the same coffeeshop, if it was in nepal, i definitely would have walk over and say hi (even maybe there might be a slight chance that i might 认错人) but in my own country, my usual thick-skinned face became thinner... lol.. I was friendly and crazy during the trek in nepal... wahaaa...

So i just sit down there and ate my lunch, I hoping of the possibilities that i get to tell them how beautiful Nepal is and if they do have the chance go down to Lukla, even perhaps take a short walk to Namche, they will have a different "taste" of Nepal, definitely if i just stick around in the city for 19 days I might not even want to go back again... maybe next time i will take the first step ... "Hello stranger" or "Namaste stranger"

i dream a Proenza Schouler

heee... so cute design.. but it's so expensive!! arghhh...

19 days in nepal...

i almost forgot i need to come back to work in sg...
i switch on my laptop my mouse doesn't work for a second i thought i lost touch with technology...
i have tonnes of drama and tv series waiting for me... i don't know where to start..
i still have 1 more rest day before the crazy monday...
i probably stay up late to do all the laundry and unpacking till sunday...
argghh... coming back to sg seems to give me more headache than staying in the high mountain...

we were so luckily that we managed to trek all the way to EBC... i never thought i might make it, cos i was going really slow... any slower would be like a tortoise.. but it's really worth all the dust and the long journey up there... the view up in the mountains are so surreal, calming and magnificent at the same time... it's hard to drag myself back to SG... 

in this19 days in nepal, there's lot of first time...
first time after going up slope for hours and glad that it's finally over.. namche!!!
first time see snow flakes in tengboche...
first time didn't shower for 4 consecutive days...
first time wake up 4am in the day and sleep as early as 8pm in the night...
first time trek on snow...
first time lost terribly Dai2 to an Ang mo and my friend...(i was pretty well-trained since young) 
first time paragliding in pokahra
first time close encounter with so many yaks yaks yaks..
first time eat dal baht and love it...
first time chit chat for over 6 hours with a stranger we just met that day at the tea house. (ryan from canada, he's so chatty, funny and friendly, but he's into serious business... doing and spreading good deeds and love to the other people.. hmm admirable..) *i think maple leaf is calling, Canada please wait for me*
first time bought a roll of toilet paper at SGD 4 dollars!!
first time drink water with lots of plastic and funny looking alien particles inside...
first time to a snow capped mountain...

there's so much so much to enjoy and to feel about for this nepal trip... i wonder if it's possible for me to go next year... again... namaste nepal.. :) once it's never enough..

top chef all star - ahhhhh

damn... dale talde went home tonight on top chef... ahhhh i really thought he can win this season.. .damn!!

super disappointed with this season... i was rooting for him to the finale for this all star season, can really feel his change of behaviour compare to season 4.. much more matured and well composure, i even find him humorous in several occasion during the inter... i like the way he thinks and act in top chef.. always focus on making his dishes and compete. less words. i guess i just like hardworking chef like him who are less talkative. He's not as angry as before but still super uber fast at executing his dishes and running all over the place.. gonna miss his action in the top chef kitchen.. ahhhhh....

i was so excited and happy for him for the past few week, he won many elimination challenges as well as $$... but all these like he say can't even trade for a place in the final... can really felt his heart and determination in winning this top chef... :) pray for him to make a comeback in all star "redemption"... haa

amazing race 18 - "unfinished business"

yeah~~ it's back again for the 18 season... breezy start at San Gorgonio Pass Wind Farm one of the windiest place in California. Such a wonderful setting for the start of the race...

so glad that Gary and Mallory (father and daughter) are back once again... i super duper love them on TAR 17. so sad to see them eliminated from season 17, this is their 2nd chance... yippee! They are my hot favourite team and they are uber lucky.. love the dad so fit and calm... mallory is so cheerful and cute.. yesterday, they are one of the last 3 team to deliver the clue to Phil which put them onto the 2nd flight list, and due to a passenger having heart attack on the 1st flight. The 8 team who are on the 1st flight ended up as the last flight to arrive in Sydney. And, there goes the 90 minutes lead... anything can happen on amazing race, and it's out of their control... that's the cool thing about reality show... makes me crazy all the time watching them racing around the world. 

at the midpoint of the 1st leg, gary and mallory came in 1st, got their "fast forward" gift from Phil and continue the race again... non resting pit stop... so exciting...

hehe... as Phil was saying at the start of the race... "good luck, the world is waiting for u..."  and me too... i want it so badly... 

Korean word of the day - "씨발"

shibal..It is a Korean word used mostly in place for the word "fuck" and "shit" in English when something goes wrong. Not to be confused with the verb "fuck."hurhur..

人因梦想而伟大，我要一口吞下它。

I'm slightly worried about the trek to EBC, haven't been actively running and exercising. Really want to enjoy the trek and the view, rather than struggling during the climb. Have to start tomorrow morning, running and yoga. getting stressed out by the training and my health condition. ahhhhhhh.... help me....... 

Me myself and I....

me have been thinking for awhile, what exactly i need to achieve in life lately... no answer yet... sometimes, someday the answer will get clearer and clearer... right now, i just want to go along with my heart. Doing things that i've been thinking for awhile, and have been procrastinating back then. Moving forward to have a better, clearer look at myself. somehow in life, i will soon find the answer and the things i need back in my life.

2011, wishing all my families and friends stay in good health and may happiness follow them every moment, everyday.

Secret Garden 秘密花园 My Fav K-Drama right here right now...

November Sagittarius Birthday!~

“桌上的燕窝拿去喝。。。你发热。。。”

呵呵。。。好久没喝老妈煮的，她在偷懒！

amazing race gary and mallory

impressed by her dad... oh my god, he's so fit at 53.... :) bravo for the vegetarian doc that finished the meat for fast forward... that's so crazy for someone who hasn't taste meat for 20 years!!!! Very considerate for kevin to take his dad on the boat detour.... oh my god, so excited for them.. i hope the son + dad and daughter + dad make it till the last 3 team... they're just so nice ppl in the race... not forgetting the insane pink duo... fighting!!

micheal c out of project runway

it's so hard to see him left the stage, though i dun know why all designer dislike him so much. anyway it's a competition.

This season was so emotional i felt, at the last few episode, when the designer was making their own print based on their personal story/inspiration. Mondo shared his deepest secret in-front of the mass tv audience, wondering where he has all the courage. Really admire him for that, bravo!

I thought mondo was really special at the beginning of the season -- quiet, soft spoken, quirky-dressed. Always hidding from the camera and doesn't talk unless requires... secretly and slowly... he blown you away with his colourful clothing design. I really would like to see him win actually, he does really stand out from the rest of the contestant. well, he's like a little man living in Tim burton's movies like alice in wonderland or willy wonka. For all of us, life is not like a box of candy.

the last 3 finalist are mondo, gretchen and andy... looks like these 3 finalist went through a lot to get to realising their dreams and to show their collections. Really looking forward to next week finale, haiz, no more project runway on Friday after that.

i already missing seung joo and ha ni... kiss again

:) 16 episode to sum up everything, everything seems going at a very fast pace. But TW version is really too slow.

Playful kiss - I really wish to see more of them together. This drama is so sweet and heart-melting... oh ha ni, fighting~!!

Amazing Race superb start for season 17

Watching Capt Phil Harris on Deadliest Catch was unbearable

Even though i know that Captain Phil passed away this year February, I still want to catch him on deadliest catch, fishing his last season on Bering sea. After he suffered from the massive stroke, deadliest catch still featured his footage in the hospital. Watching the latest episode of him leaving the world is unbearable, Silly me, I was still hoping he will get better. 


silly silly, cos it's the real person on the show for the past 6 season. I feel like i know them while they're out in the sea.. and that's why touches me so much and i really love watching deadliest catch. 


Now, it's so hard to watch deadliest catch, knowing that Capt Phil is gone....

丁当-我是一只小小鸟 MV

I listen half of the song on turtle's car. Today suddenly thought of searching for this song, got this link from youtube. After watching the mv, really feels that Ding dang put in her whole-heart to sing this well. :)

Eating durian while watching England vs Germany

I almost swallowed the whole durian when lampard goal wasn't counted. Damn!!! I knew England wasn't the best team around the whole cup but thought maybe they could get lucky today winning or draw Germany. afterall unexpected things happened in this year world cup, look at italy. Didn't expect it to be a 4-1 defeat... oh my god, no more england team...

泡沫之夏 洛熙篇

啊。。超喜欢黄晓明。。

Recently saw him on movie ip man2 and 泡沫之夏, totally 被他迷倒了。

I did post a few photo of him last time when I watched 鹿鼎记。

Really damn cute, and well, well. 

I really have a soft spot for guys with dimples. awwww

I want to braid my bangs like her...

so nice leh... i want it badly... too bad my hair short and thin... haiz.. sianz

吉人天相，快快好起来。。。

早前ah fang 妈妈生病了，希望他吉人天相。好人有好报。。。平平安安的回家休息养好身体，大家可以皆大欢喜。Went to visit her mum at SGH, so glad that her condition stabilise and recovering well.

我知道要珍惜身边人，可是人总是笨笨的， 为什么人总是失去后才懂得珍惜？又或者后悔莫及。
我虽然懂，但也没什么行动。

我的老爸每个拜六礼拜都帮我们买早餐吃，晚餐下厨或打包。好惭愧啊！都这么大的人，还要老爸喂。小时候他都带我和哥哥和姐姐一起去吃早餐，长大了点，有了翅膀每个周末都睡到下午，爸爸也看开了见怪不怪，有时我早餐当午餐吃。渐渐的他也变聪明了， 只买午餐。哈哈!

老妈自从两年前没做工在家照顾臭翔翔后，我也变懒了。我几乎不扫地也不洗地，有时只洗洗自己的衣和收拾房间。老妈又超爱干净的， 每天洗地扫地。谁受得了啊。。。他有时手痛脚痛又爱骂人，少洗一天又不会少一块肉肉。

老爸和老妈每天有翔翔陪伴应该足够了吧，我这个长了翅膀的猪偶尔陪他们去云顶走走就好了。他们开心我也开心。hehe...

The Shawshank Redemption

Remembering Phil Harris - Captain with Big Heart

I will always miss him and remembering him on deadliest catch.

he's was my favourite captain on deadliest catch on cornelia marie, his 2 kids are always driving him mad... DC still feature him and his crew on this season 6. I've been waiting for DC6 to release for so long and i didn't even know Phil died on 9th Febuary this year. silly me....

a feeling of sadness reaches me as i watched the latest season of deadliest catch, makes me wanna cry that this will be phil last season on deadliest catch. i still hope he had a great time this season, filling his boat with full pot of king crabs...

"If you want to be stressed out,if you want to be cranky, if you want to be hungry and tired, get a crab boat."

"The funny thing about it is, I wouldn't trade it for the world." - Capt. phil harris

an ex-colleague of my current workplace suffered from aneurism and currently in high dependency unit still in coma. Really pray and hope that he can wake up from his dream and get well soon.

希望大家平平安安，身体健康，天下太平。

这个世界好像病了，赶快好起来吧！

雨过天晴后， 就一定会有彩虹哦。

我有点贪心，希望有两道

i want Boston Rob back but i love heroes!!!

I want Rob back to survivor!!!! damn.... i love to watch him on survivor, winning challenge, lead the tribe and make fire out of bamboo!!! my hero in villain tribe...

But i love to see heroes winning challenge... haha...  Heroes wins both challenge this week!!! YAY!!!

老娘有一点动心。。。哈哈

我需要换心。

How to Train My Dragon

I simply loved this movie, it's been so long since i watched movies that are worth watching. Stunning visuals and well-told story to keep my eye wide open through this movie. this is actually one of the best work from dreamworks!!

the black, cute little dragon was named "toothless", reminds me of my cousin call me "bo gay" when i was little and i lost one of my front tooth... ;(

Maison Ikkoku 相聚一刻

I just happen to surf on anime and saw maison ikkoku, i like this anime/comic a lot. watch this when i was small. another lomantic one would be "Orange Road", siblings with supernatural power. hahaa... In the 80s, they usually screen it at midnight. The author of maison ikkoku is also the writer of ranma1/2... i really miss all these tastefully simple anime... How much have i changed in these years? when i was young watching all these favourite anime 对我而言是幸福的。人长大了，这种简单不知道丢哪了？

所以啦，其实幸福很简单。。。也让我快点找到那份简单。。。
