WALL-E, The Best Movie in 2008

Copy_of_walleWALL-E is the best movie that I came across in 2008. It was not the normal silly animation movie that only brought entertainment to kids, this one in fact was more for all. I enjoyed particularly the romance between WALL-E and EVE :) Hehe!

Check out http://sg.movies.yahoo.com/Wall-E/movie/14618/ for more details and reviews.

My KL trip (22 Aug 2008 - 25 Aug 2008)

Picture_037On 22 August 2008, I went for a trip to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) mainly to take a break from the 'craziness' in Singapore as well as to visit and do some catch-ups with my close friends there. Apart from that, the Malaysia Mega Sale 2008 was ongoing during that period of time, yeah so that was indeed the best time to go.

I took an express bus from JB to go to KL. By the time I reached at Puduraya Station, it was already after 5 pm. I went to my good friend, Pradiipa's house in Puchong as I would be staying there for a couple of days. We were having the Hakka lei cha for dinner at a restaurant near Bandar Kinrara - according to Pradiipa, that was the nicest for her so far. Not bad indeed :) But I forgot to take a photo of that ... After that, we just chatted the whole night.

On the next day, 23 August 2008, I was busy going out for shopping around Bukit Bintang area with a few friends. Wow! It was great as there were so many things to see and buy, especially at Sungai Wang Plaza. There were so many nice clothes to choose from ... I almost lost control! :) I bought quite a number of the nice ones and they were really worth the money! I will never find such great bargains in JB - serious! :) I felt so tired that day after that one whole day of shopping and walking.

On 24 August 2008, I went for some shopping and a movie with Pradiipa in GSC IOI Mall, Puchong. We watched WALL-E but to my surprise, it only cost RM8 per ticket on a Sunday, man! Yeah, serious! And it was such a great movie! :) I enjoyed particularly the love between WALL-E and EVE ... awww! :) :) Picture_022

Also being able to catch up with Seema for a dinner had certainly made my day! We went to Bumbu Bali in Puchong, one of the place I used to hang out last time. On the same day after the dinner, I moved to my other good friend, Lee Ling's place and we had a great time chatting until late at night.

On 25 August 2008, I continued my shopping at MidValley Megamall. Supposed to go to KLCC as well on that day but the schedule was somehow badly planned and there was not enough time for me to make my way there :( As a result, I didn't manage to meet up with Ellis ... I felt so bad. Anyway, later of the day, I managed to make a trip back to WKESP Cyberjaya to visit, take photos and chat with my ex-colleagues. :)

These are the people who were rewarded the WKESP Employee of the Month since the company started in 2005 ... Can you see my photo there? :)

After that, me and the ex-SULEGO team Picture_033went for a dinner ... Special thanks to Kenny, Li Leng and Lee Ling for the great company. :)

On 26 August 2008 morning, I made my way back to JB. Though it was an enjoyable trip for me (shopping, hanging out with my friends, eating, etc), it was actually quite tiring, mainly because too much time and energy were spent on walking and waiting for public transport. I mean after staying in the so-convenient Singapore for almost a year now, I found it really inconvenient in KL if one has to rely on the public transport to travel from a place to another ... And due to this weakness, I will need to think twice when I want to travel to KL again next time (nah, I'm not complaining, just stating the fact!).

Well, hopefully, there is a change in future ... :)

My Last Day in EPH Singapore

21 August 2008 was my last day in EPH, not even reaching the one year anniversary in this company. Well, I would like to stay on if I can but too bad this place was somehow like a 18-level hell for me since the first day I joined on 1 October 2007. I was glad the hellish days were finally over now.

Honestly, I didn’t miss anything from this place, except the great bunch of good friends and colleagues. Despite the fact that this was not the best working place for me, the friendships that I found in this place was the best so far compared to two other places I had been through before this.

I will really miss the best person I knew in this office – Carina. She is not only a good teammate of mine but also a very good friend who will always lend me a hand and be my listener whenever I have troubles. She is a happy-go-lucky person and she has deeply influenced me to be a more cheerful person, especially to learn how to take things easier during stressful times.

Img_3244_14

The next person I will deeply miss is Lee Li. For me, she’s like a humorous queen of all time. She makes me laugh at most of the time, not to mentioned also a great person to talk to although she is years older than me.

Img_3245

Lilian likes talking about her passion in writing and her interest in manga. Though I’m not really into the same interest as her, she still makes a really good friend and never fails to entertain me with her conversation. Thanks Lilian for everything!

Adrian, my so-called Winnie the Pooh is a very nice and gentle guy. Looking at the photo below, one will definitely think we are a couple but mind you, we are not! He is just a very nice friend, a guy who will surely make a caring boyfriend … but sorry lah, I’m NOT into him lor J

Img_3240

Serine is not like a big sister to me. She looks like approaching her auntihood but then she talks like a missy. She never grumbles and I love the humorous side of her.

Img_3260

May is the never-ending joker. Sometimes her joke sounds really lame but that’s how she entertains everyone in the office. Her laugh can be scary sometimes but yeah, it’s entertaining … so who cares?!

Michael – I think you owed me in the previous life … that was why you were being pressurized by me in this life! Hahaha! Well, take it easy, man! After all, I’m only a sweet-looking girl though I may be quite violent sometimes. Still, at the end of the day, I’d never killed you with a gun but appreciated all your hard work and efforts. I also didn’t kImg_3255now why you were always assigned to work with me, but after all, I’m not bad actually … correct? J Hey, you’re really efficient in your work!

Img_1253

Anna – I think your designs are really superb! J no kidding!

Other than that, I have Mabo, Tang Ling, Hwee Ling, Sarina, Kwai Keng and Peter … Nice knowing all of you and thanks for everything!

Thank you very much for the farewell dinner, the CD (courtesy of Lilian) as well as the pink ‘du tou’ (think I’m going to wear it on the street? No way man! J) … Well, all the very best and take care! J

Alice is leaving EPH Singapore

Hi everyone!

I am finally leaving EPH in one-month time! I will be leaving publishing line at the same time :) I'm so excited! It feels like 'being released from prison' (hehe!) ... Well, I'm sure you can figure out why I said that if you are intelligent enough :)

Well, I'll be helping a friend (and his business partner) with setting up an education centre (in Singapore of coz!)... Since currently the education centre does not exists yet, I will also be helping out with some work for their existing business ... There will be a lot of new things that I can learn from here, mainly from planning to managing ... I'm very grateful of this friend of mine for the trust and belief that he has for me ... That's why I am able to confide myself to take up this challenge and make the biggest decision in my life to quit from publishing line ... I have been in publishing line for over 5 years now but I realised that I haven't been achieving anything really big so far (except the 'Senior Production Editor' post in WKESP Cyberjaya, Malaysia) ... And it was quite a disappointment in EPH Singapore ... so I decided to move on ... I believe this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance and I believe I can make the best from this, at least to make my life more meaningful ... Of coz if this education business really goes well, I may also get a chance to realise my dream to be a manager in future (I mean for the education centre) ... No harm dreaming about it now; still it may come true if there is will to make it a reality - I will definitely do my best! At least I will not disappoint my friend...

Though EPH Singapore may not be the best place i have ever worked, I won't forget the good things I have got from there ... First, a good bunch colleagues as good friends ... particularly Carina Chuah (without you, I would have 'die' now ... you are not only a good teammate but also one of the best persons I've known in Singapore) ... Also Lecco, Lilian and Adrian Lee who are always be there for me; laughing with me during the most stressful time ... I really appreciate what you guys did for me (true from the heart) ... of coz to the rest who have made a difference in my life - I won't forget you as long as I live :)

I will joining my new work on 1 September 2008 ... For those of you who would like to celebrate for me (as in celebrating my departure from EPH), kindly do so ... Email or sms me for an appointment ... I'll be waiting then :)

Valentine by Martina McBride

If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

All of my life
I have been waiting for
All you give to me
You've opened my eyes
And showed me how to love unselfishly

I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
But in my dreams I couldn't love you more
I will give you my heart
Until the end of time...
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
'Cause all I need is you, my Valentine
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

A beautiful love song

Come What May by Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I'm loving you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Chorus:
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

Chorus

Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Chorus

Singapore Flyer

Hi everyone!

So sorry, haven't been updating for a while because I just can't create a new post via my own url in Friendster ... dunno what the heck but yeah, finally I know the trick (well, it was really shitty!)

Well, I dunno if anyone of you (especially those who are in Msia or outside of Spore) has already know this ... the Spore Flyer. You can try to search the web for more info. It is something new in Spore, just opened 1 March 2008. It's the highest in Sotheast Asia so far so dun mind giving it a try the next time you visit Spore. i heard it's S$30 per ride ... haven't try it myself but sure fun, I guess ... Now very busy mah, no time ... Some more it's still such a big crowd there now, but sure will go there when there's a chance :) Oh, btw, it's located in Marina Bay ... Just board the MRT to Marina Bay station and it's just walking distance to the Spore Flyer ... In fact, from Suntec City (ie City Hall MRT station), you can see it very clearly already.

Okie that's for now .. Update again next time yeah :)
