"Hairy" Harry

There'd been alot of news from our Harry Potter star, Daniel Radcliffe. One of them is the upcoming 5th and 6th installment of Harry Potter. The other is the publicity photos for the controversial play, Equss which showed a topless and buffed Radcliffe being hugged by a naked woman. Another shows him leaning against bales of hay as he stares up at the topless woman. A third has him posing in front of a white horse.














"..............................."


These photos have raised adverse feedbacks from his fans, where parents of these children wrote in,

"We as parents feel Daniel should not appear nude. Our nine-year-old son looks up to him as a role model. We are very disappointed and will avoid the future movies he makes," one parent wrote."

Honestly speaking, I think these shots are a breakthrough from his Harry Potter's image. However, I still miss the little boy's looks of dear Daniel.




Not really a die-hard fan of the Harry Potter's books, I've watched every episode of the Harry Potter's movies, seeing how the boy has grown up. Looking at his new tough looks and hairy chest... dark body hair...oops... I am not sexually attracted to him.. mind you..!!!! And dun accuse me of being a paedophile. But the mentioning of growing up just entwines in my little mind for a while.

How fast kids grew up into adults these days...

The problem with child-stars is even when they have grown up, people still think of them as children and sometimes hard to accept them as adults.



Christina Ricci in "The Adams Family"



Kirsten Dunst in "Interview with the Vampire"

The images of young Kirsten Dunst and Christina Ricci are still captivated in my mind and it is hard to shake them off.

i hate financial calculations. Can anyone teach me how to use the financial calculator in getting the IRR? How come I keep getting negative IRR?

The continued story of Mr Elite...

Mr Elite is back from his study trip in France. He looks like he quite enjoyed himself helping to carry luggages, shopping bags for CEO and the rests of the ladies. It is surprising that he bought some expensive sweets and chocolates back for us, well... bought in small containers so he can share them among the rests.

This morning, he saw me and asked "New hair?"
" Yeap, I've cut my hair, but it was century years ago. "(actually 2 days le la), I replied.
"Feeling too stressed, so I cut my hair."

He is still the same, same email goes out from him, requesting for these and that... pushing all the work whoever he can, which he is supposed to be doing himself. surprisingly, he was lamenting to another planner when we are having a discussion on a certain project that his ex-gf is working nearby and she wants to meet him for lunch. Ex-gf?? hmm.... trying to tell the rests he is now single and available? I thought such stuffs could be relayed to his present gf if he has one now.. I dunno. With so many pretty single planners out in PPD, it wouldn't be too difficult to grab hold of one, if he intends to not to remain single.

i've cut away my tresses...


Nothing.. just feeling stressed lately. Been losing hair, saw fallen hair here and there, in my bedroom and next time in the living room. I guess cutting them away is the only solution.

Well, they'll grow back anyway. Meantime, I'm able to save my shampoo for the next few weeks cos less hair to wash mah..

Evonne was suggesting me to join her family members to Korea, will be visiting Natas fair this sat to see got any cheap packages. Will be updating.

COACH BAGS LOVERS, MAY I HAVE YR ATTENTION PLS!!??

A friend managed to get COACH handbags from US in a very reasonable rate, it is definitely cheaper than you get in Singapore or any part of Asia... Seeing it a trend to carry COACH bags in US, Japan and Singapore and a favourite brand of famous celebrities like Halle Berry, Nicky Hilton and Heidi Klum and many others, this hot wave seemed to have reached our tiny, little red-dot of Singapore. It is getting pretty common to see people carrying the little small "Cs" bags around.




Here's the price list and photos of Bags if you are interested.
http://www.swanbaggy.blogspot.com

I just feel COACH bags embodied aesthetics and functionality, not so tacky like LV, dun u think so?

It has been 6 months in the new place I worked in. Recently, I've gained some courage to tell the DD that I really wanna concentrate doing the projects assigned to me thus can't really be his PA. You can't be having a staff doing planning and a secretary at the same time unless you pay him well. Mr Elite was supposed to be doing most of the report and analysis but as usual, he did nothing much giving excuses like he was given alot of projects, was part of the other project team, etc, thus I was the only one driving the project.

Should I stay on in a place where they recognise only scholars or honours students? This is a typical sight in Govt bodies where fresh grads are normally degree holders with good honours. Recently, there has been a high turn-over of planners; which shows how competitive the private sector is. It is not unusual to hear a planner quitting after only staying for 1 mth.

Actually, I wanted to watch the show "Just Follow Law" which describes the working life in Govt sector. But most of my friends have watched it during chinese new year and I am pretty busy to catch it after the festive season. Guess I'll wait for the dvd instead.

been sleeping late again and can't seem to have a good night sleep. Keep getting up in the middle of the night and having difficulties to sleep again. Due to stress perhaps. Ups and downs in work, projects, assignments from my studies. Took a day's leave to rest at home last Tues before I really break down... or even nervous breakdown. Spent a good day at home, slept until 12pm, dyed my hair black ( I looked tanner) and managed to chat with my sis (thru msn) and aunt abit.


u rarely see my smile nowadays...

I'm planning for a holiday getaway and shopping spree to Taiwan or Hong Kong. Anyone joining me? Bring an extra pair of legs along if u wanna join me.

Sick during Chinese New Year


Even a cup of white chrysanthemum tea dun really help to cease the flu I had recently

As usual, I went to visit Chinese Doctor and had the usual tcm dosage. Western medicine tends to make u groggy so I wasn't taking an MC. Rested a whole day at home by taking leave but sadly had to travel to NUS to take the GEK quiz. I wasn't too prepared for it and I was having a fever half-way through the lecture.

It was Valentine's Day so I couldn't get a cab back, took mrt, traveled 3 hrs in total as a result of this auspicious festive season. Happen to see couples with the female counterpart carrying bouquets of roses and chirping away. It was a sweet scene and it is amazing to see how high the price of flowers shot up this day.



sick and tired...


Time is ticking out, so are the timelines for the assignments and projects! My group members seemed to be slacking again and I am really tired to chase them to work. Seemed to be stuck in the wrong group again, I hope there are more individual projects in future so u won't be working with free-riders.

I was back to work the next day and everyone was concerned abt my health condition. I was really glad to have helpful colleagues nearby. Also helped to arrange a photo-taking session with our Senior Adviser, Mr Foo. C.S who is retiring on fri... I am so sorrie that I could not join the whole section for lunch as I was not feeling well. Hmm, here's the photo.




The Directors in front looking so tired... and sad..


I was somehow "forced" to stand beside Mr Elite... hmmm :-(



Well, have a fruitful Chinese New Year btw, it seemed abit too short!

new target?? :D




cute bor? (almost fainted by his overdose of cuteness)


sorry la, Ah Lun, now my new focus is on this boy, Jiro Wang from Fahrenheit. Actually, I do not really like the boy band but this boy really captivated my heart from his top-notch comedic role in Hana Kimi, a Taiwanese drama inspired from a Japanese comic.




looks like yr regular boy-next-door having dinner at yr house...





or yr stupid friend who made fun of the food u cooked...





or simply looked nerdy like yr senior who gives some private tuition @ yr place






our dear boy boy seemed to have matured too...







"Be my valentine, ok baby?"





An early Valentine's Day greeting for everyone. :)



Jiro looks like a hybrid of Edison Chen and Jimmy Lim if u observe closely. He also seemed to be the most chatty among his group of four members and certainly knows how to "make friends" with the media. He tried all ways to gain attention; making monkey faces, cute girly shots... which i feel all are really unnecessary. He has good features and great physique (although I've been trying to search for his pic with 6-pacs... but failed to find any =P) and certainly looked photogenic in all angles.

Being a comedic role in most of his tv dramas, I felt he is also suitable for Tamaki, the handsome but stupid male lead in Ouran High School.






He was featured in this MTV by Tank and it seemed he has a taste for elder women. :P


Did I mention that he has a blog too? I love guys who write blogs !!! :)







sorry la Jay, I know u r cute too, and I will always love the songs u wrote..

http://hiongsuan.multiply.com/

Sis just created her multiply website, consists of her lovely stay in US, Florida, her first apartment in Gainesville, and her trips to other parts of US too...

Dunno should I go over to visit her in May too?

Ladies!! Mark yr calendars for these dates!!

30 may 06 wed, the next day is Vesak Day.
8 Aug 07, wed, the next day is National Day.
7 Nov 07, wed, the next day is Deepavali.

I know these dates are far too ahead, but, planning early is good. Cos, these dates are actually "LADIES NITE" and the next day is HOLIDAY!!! So u can party for free and yet no need to apply leave for the next day.. esp when u have a serious hung over.

Book me for wed nite outings at The Powerhouse or Devil's then :)

I never have time to finish shaving my pubis...



It was a statement made by the Borat: Cultural Learnings of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. It was shown in some theaters a few weeks back.

"In Sydney, I was in swimming pool, all children stare at me. In the end, I got so self-conscious, I go out and put my trunks on. I never have time to finish shaving my pubis."

Is it a trend to expose yr hair down there? Some women find it sexy though..



see hair..







more hair...





this one ain't too sexy.. looks like it's kind of half done.


There are some very good examples of guys who shaved them clean.. =)





For example.. Bi Rain!!!




Aaron Kwok did a good job after all.. after 40, his body still looked like 20 - 30.


.
I really not sure what that "mosaic" means, it shows he really need to buy new pair of shorts.
find him pretty gay to hold the cigarette like this. =p



In conclusion, I give credit to the Borat who dares to wear that lime green bathing suit!!

i want a mother.

My mom left us, she din say a word. She left to live her own life, she wanted to break free from us. When she left, she left a deep scar in my heart.

I was angry and had always envious with people having their mothers always caring for them, cook for them and taking care of their needs. I started being independent even before I reached 21. I dun have the luxury of having a loving mother always standing beside me and supporting me whatever I do. I was often angry and feeling alone and I felt no one truly understands me.

I wan to feel pampered.
I wanted to be adored.
I want my mom to cook soup for me everyday.

Although i stayed with my aunt, there is always a differential treatment. A mother will never look down on her son/daughter no matter what he/she had done. I was always reprimanded and criticized and I have to bear the fact I was staying there under their shed. A real mother will never complain abt how dirty her son's uniform is, but an aunt would. My aunt has been pretty antagonized by how difficult to wash my clothes, especially those new ones I've bought. Her face will be black all day and refused to talk to me. A real mom will never be calculative on how much she spent on her children's toys but an aunt would. She will be calculating the extra bowl of rice I took when I went back home for dinner or extra strands of vegetables I've eaten.

To solve these problems, I think below are the solutions.

1) Wash my own clothes
2) Prepare my own meals, or have my own meals outside
3) Move out eventually

If I were to choose option 3, I think i shall be seeing them less. There is no point to keep the relationship then.

Chinese New Year mood anyone????


So after the xmas and new year, shouldn't it be the chinese new year mood now? A comicart friend of mine, xiaobao did some cny illustrations for hotel 81 and I find his art work really amazing!!

Below are just trials..




All his works are projected on the building, really reminded me of the Louis Vuitton show where they projected the LV logos on the building (saw that on one of the fashion magazines) For more works, pls visit his art blog here.

Mr Elite strikes again!!!!

Why does he always ask me to do stupid things like tagging labels onto the documents and be precise on the positions where he can be doing it himself?

Why does he have to say "It's an easy job right?"

Why does he has to say "It's urgent!" on Monday and once done up for him, he can be still sitting on it till Fri?

Why am I still working with him on the same project where I was the one doing all the work and he is the smart Aleck to present and gain all the credit?

I'm Cyborg, but it's OK



Park Chan Wook, the director of Sympathy for Mr Vengeance, Old Boy and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance has shot rather a milder film this time called "I'm Cyborg but it's OK". His previous works were always full of violence but this time round, he made a comedy starring Rain as the main actor.

According to him, it's a funny and cheerful film.

"A girl gets hospitalized at a mental institution. She thinks she's a robot, a fighting machine, and daydreams about that. Even looking at all the machines in the surroundings, she thinks they're all like her, so she starts to send messages to a LCD screen, "go there and kill someone." That kind of kid.

There's obviously lots of patients to meet where she's at, people from every walks of life. Crazy men and women, but also a little boy she falls in love with, a thieving little boy; someone who thinks he has the ability to steal the soul of other people. Some kind of rude machine using equipment, like an electrode, every night stealing the souls of the sleeping patients."

* To view the trailers of the above movies, simply click on the titles. =)

one point to note, it is Rain's first movie and his hairstyle looks stupid.

i forgot to wish everyone a happy new year

Clean forgotten abt it, I'm so engrossed with my Japan trip and my incoming modules for the new sem. Here's a very inspiring picture to start the new year.



Taken this at Qiuhui's house during New Year. It represents "雨过就有彩虹".
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year, what happened is already over, remember, there's always a rainbow somewhere after the rain. :)

who viewed yr friendster acct?

there is a strange function in friendster where u get to view the profile of the person and the person will get to know u viewed his profile too. If you do not wish to let the person know u r viewing his profile, you can choose yrself as anonymous but in the end, you dun get to see the person viewing yr profile also.

When I was abit free-er and nothing else to do, i happen to view this "interesting" page to know who are the pple who are interested in knowing how I've been getting on.... I saw my ex's acct too!



From the basic profile and the non-vivid wordings on the wedding picture, it shows that he has just got married in late November. Scared of exposing his face and his wife's, he "chopped off" his and his wife's head.

I find it amusing though.

I think he must have been doing that purposely, scared that I can see his happy marriage and felt bad that I've dumped him. He also searched the friendster for my profile and see how's I'm getting on, whether I am any worse off without him.

I wish to tell him "Hey f*** off!!! I'm totally fine without you.. thanks for yr concern."

I was laughing at the pic once again when I saw the chopped head version.

some quickies before I go into my description of Japan trip..

Here's the next semester modules. 4 modules to clear again.

Early Xmas Greeting.

I'll be spending my Xmas in Japan this year. In fact, I always happen to spend it outside in Spore, in Sentosa, Bangkok, JB.. and this time in a really cold place where I can get the chance to see snow perhaps.


There is also a Xmas tree at our office entrance too!!!

Some food for thought. Xmas is also a day for showing love and care for yr love ones and to those less fortunate. From here, I shall end here with a XMAS greeting card..




MERRY XMAS!!! Dun miss me too much char?!! I'll come back with lots of presents for u friends!!

Secret ~ Ayumi Hamasaki's 8th album



Bought her album last Sat. Nowadays her CD comes with a DVD with music videos and making of the clips.

As usual, fancy clothes, wigs, hot dancers but this time, sexier, bolder .. oh yes, alot of "bling bling".
Watch out for her "Jewel" song, I do think the title "Diamonds are the girl's best friends" suits that better.

It comes with a free poster too, so I pasted at my bedroom door...

very nasty thoughts..

I happened to see a person post this message "Hello, pls help me" in one of the forums I've visited. It was a message from a 20+ yr old boy asking for a job in 2D, 3D illustrations. He mentioned that he has just finished NS and without any cert but an O level only. On asking us to visit his blog, what amazed me is how he described himself;

"Very lazy but have passion on digital art, dreaming of one day to rule the world in the media industries meaning pro in animation , 3d and 2d , and also master in photoshop , can do anything with it."

This is pretty contradicting. If you are lazy, how would you have the passion on digital art? You are just building castles in the sky and dreaming of successing without hard work. Honestly, I think you are just a dreamer. In his blog, he kept complaining that he "drew until his eyes pain" when he looked at the screen for a very long time, as if he wants to get some compassionate marks from people. Perhaps, he just wants some kind soul to pat on his back, praise him on what he did or even give him a job.

Probably you would just relate me to the "Elite Girl" saga whom she wrote in her "uncaring" blog, criticising about Derek Wee's opinions and anxieties on reaching 40 yrs old, worrying abt whether he can still keep his job. The poor girl has been unfortunately slapped by people on her personal statement and being treated as arrogant RJCian, elitist.... and those "fans" of hers are posting her bikini pics, G-cuppers all over the internet.

Anyway back to the little's boy's dream abt becoming a successful illustrator. I once had the same "passions" that what he have now, but I worked hard. Yes, if you mentioned, doing free illustrations, comics etc. Time passed and on realising that those were not my strengths, I decided to focus on what I should head for a more satisfactory and beneficial term ie, earning myself a Degree. Passion, yes, it is a great feeling when you are young. But you still got to eat, you still got mouths to feed.

As the saying goes; Know what yr strengths are, dun talk abt yr passions, work on it!!! Last but not least, I wish the boy find his dream job soon.

EXAMS over.


Yar, 3 open book papers and 1 closed book exam.


I had been carrying my 3kg dictionary for 3 days of examinations consecutively. Feeling sore and numb after carrying, need to buy a light-weight version for the next semester perhaps.


How did the exams go if you asked me? Honestly I really dunno. It did appeared pretty smooth throughout and I did attempt all questions. Because mostly are open book, everyone could be copying the same answers from the text. I wasn't sure about the Urban Planning module cos dunno what marks and what standards Belinda will be giving. She is a very weird lady.. appeared to be smiling but she is marking so stingily behind yr back.

Anyway, other than preparing for the Japan trip, i changed my hp for nokia N73. The Carl Zeiss lens of the cam phone is really god-sent, sharp, precised and the phone fits perfectly in my old phone pouch.

Here's some shots from N73. I am still trying out the functions, esp the different lighting modes.



My "Bible" used almost everyday at work



One rainy afternoon after Pro-Com Examinations



Exhibition at URA Gallery, notice the "stars" on the ceiling?



Alfredo Spaghetti I cooked over the weekends, looks like I'm the only one eating....




Casual chess playing

Not forgetting, it has great video capturing functions too!!!
