http://fallingstarz.blog.friendster.com/

3. find my mr right?
---> mmmmmmmm....... this is a very subjective thingy.. who is my mr right and what defines my mr right????

4. to tidy up my house… =P… haha… ridiculous that this gets to be my new year resolution… wun wan to know how messy my house is…
---> this is definitely not be met.. ..

5. save more money and spent less! save at least 400 a month? possible???
---> not met as well... spent more actually...

6. update more post??? went to read my older post… really enjoyed reading them… bring back my memories… =)
---> okie.. this is considered met... wrote quite a number of post actually..

and now my 2009 resolutions...


1. to slim down... haix.. this new year resolution just keep repeating itself year after year.. maybe i should be more specific...

a. to exercise (like jogged for 30 mins at least twice a week) maybe i should learn from ade (my senior in kpmg).. she used to cycle on the bicycle bike for 45 mins everyday.. amazed by her determination.. she's my idol man..
b. to cut down on my food intake. hah.. especially at night..


2. do not procrastinate.. I think what I'm best in is actually procrasinating... so those things that need to done must be done by that day and not the day after what..


3. finding my right... mmmmm...

I used to think that my parents are a perfect couple... and there's a saying that 属牛的和属鸡的 are very compatible. That's my dad and mum... haha.. so used to set that as one of my criteria and also... wanted to look for someone who is the same type of my horoscope...mmm.. someone from capricorn, virgo or taurus... so I would think that maybe my Mr Right is someone who is 属鸡的 and that is someone from capricorn, virgo or taurus. ha.. naive belif right?

Subsequently, I realised that's not neccessarily all these will make a relationship worked out...

My parents used to quarrel alot during the early stage. (that's what my mum told me) and it was subsequently through understanding and tolerating with each other that makes their love for each other so strong.

learning how to understand, tolerate and trust....


4. writing down the details of my everyday life... it is good to be able to be able to remember what happened in the past.

Beheaded or not.

The verdict for the melamine case is finally out.

I have been wondering will the wicked woman heading San Lu group be sentenced to death.

She has caused the death of about six children and more than 300,000 babies have fallen ill with utinary trat ailments, including kidney stones. The worse thing is she is well aware of what is her product causing since May and she only announced it in August, with no action to remove her products off the shelves in supermarkets.

Well... Despite all the wicked things she has done, she was not being sentenced to death. Life imprisonment was the verdict for her instead.

Now, I wonder what the judges in China deemed that will constitute a death sentence if the actions of concealing her tainted products which caused the death of babies and babies to have kidney stones doesnt result in one.

Melamine

Extracted from wikipedia

Melamine is described as being "Harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Chronic exposure may cause cancer or reproductive damage. Eye, skin and respiratory irritant.” However, the toxic dose is on a par with common table salt with an LD50 of more than 3 grams per kilogram of bodyweight.[12] FDA scientists explained that when melamine and cyanuric acid are absorbed into the bloodstream, they concentrate and interact in the urine-filled renal microtubules, then crystallize and form large numbers of round, yellow crystals, which in turn block and damage the renal cells that line the tubes, causing the kidneys to malfunction.[13]

The European Union set a standard for acceptable human consumption of melamine at 0.5 milligrams per kg of body mass, Canada declared a limit of 0.35 mg and the US FDA’s limit was put at 0.63 mg, but was later reduced to 0.063 mg daily. The World Health Organization’s food safety director estimated that the amount of melamine a person could stand per day without incurring a bigger health risk, the "tolerable daily intake" (TDI), was 0.2 mg per kg of body mass.[14]

Red Cliff II

went to catch red cliff II after a long and busy day on saturday...

the movie starts at 11.40pm and ended at 2am...

both of us concluded that the movie was alright.

maybe our opinion might have change if we catched the movie at a more normal timing like 2pm instead of 1140pm? esp when we were both exhuasted from work. but then, weekends are the only chance when we can meet up.

here's some comments for the movie..

felt that the first episode was better than the second one... in terms of plot..

but i must admit the effects created during the war on the sea and land were superb, esp the part when they are attacking the ships and when all the ships are on fire. and also the part when 诸葛亮

so i guess it will be better if you watch the two movies together and I am sure that you will conclude that that is a good show.

or maybe it will be better if you havent read the books... just felt that the story stray away from the original story too much

calm and compose

i am sure no one will ever link the above two words "calm" and "compose" to me in any instances.

I am somemore who gets gan jiong easily. i dunno why leix... wondering was i quite like that all along or i gradually changed to become a gan jiong spider. hah..

anyway, i must say i have a senior who is always calm and compose in all times. recently worked with him on this job which i have totally no idea on the operations of the company.

okie.. at least i know it does hedging, trading of options, forwards, swaps and futures.as for other details, i dun really have an idea i think.

or maybe cos he is the senior, so he managed to answer the queries with a very leng jing tone.

i think im lost without him in nestle. okie.. or maybe it was my lack of knowledge on the company that resulted that?

mmmm..so maybe you need to know your things before u can be calm and compose

hah... okie.. i will try to get all my stuff right next time...

as for any other reasons, i will try to find out and update u guys again. hah..

Happy 51st Birthday!

My beloved father turned 51 tommorow.. so we went out to Jurong Hill Top for dinner today...

Hot N Cold

time for a new song...

haha.. wanted to put 国境之南.. but then i think it is too slow and sad to start a new year.. so decided to put this song.. more lively?

mmm... chance upon this song when someone told me one day that I am hot then I am cold.. and I am yes and then I am no...



You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah, you PMS like a bitch
I would know

And you always think
Always speak cryptically
I should know
That you're no good for me

'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up

You, you don't really wanna stay, no
You, but you don't really wanna go, oh

'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

We used to be just like twins, so in sync
The same energy now's a dead battery
Used to laugh 'bout nothing
Now you're plain boring
I should know
That you're not gonna change

'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up

You, you don't really wanna stay, no
You, but you don't really wanna go, oh

You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bipolar
Stuck on a rollercoaster
Can't get off this ride

You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes

'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up

'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up

You, you don't really wanna stay, no
You, but you don't really wanna go, oh

You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down, down, down, down...

IP Man

IP Man is being pronounced as "yip mun" and not "I P man" or "yip man"

Movie is starred by Donnie yen. love his fighting scenes. jet li's as well.

i think i really did prefer fighting scenes more than anything else. think i like him because of the serial 精武门 whereby he play the role of 陈真， the disciple of 霍元甲。

was in awe with his fighting skills.

haha...

mmm.. as for the story line, i should say it is a tyical chinese 武侠小说 story。..

《叶问》的故事发生在上世纪正值战祸乱世的中国，叶问是一名单纯醉心武术、追求武学自由的武痴，充满仇恨和悲剧的大时代并不在他的视野当中，他只专注于对武术的执著与热情。然而出于对民族的热爱和对武学精神的不断参悟，叶问一步步走出武痴的局限，在一场场畅快淋漓的忘我比拼中，扛起振兴中华的大旗。





haha.. handsome... ops... okie..i admit i have a preference for older man.
