m-pact!

went for an acapella concert on sunday at the NUS University Cultural Center..the group is called m-pact..can check out their site: http://www.myspace.com/mpact

basically, it's a group of 6 guys who can really really really sing..they sing WITHOUT any instruments (duhz, it's acapella! haha) and their human machine is amazing...the drums that he can made with his voice..and they could mimic the sound of cello, trumpet and saxophone...breath-taking..the songs they sing are rather jazzy, which i dont really like but surprisinly i was not bored by them..okay, maybe a song or two..haha!

actually the highlight of the show for me is not them...before this show, i dont even know who they are..i was sort of forced by my colleagues to join them in this concert...hahaha! in the audience, we saw adrian pang and his family...and my colleague took a picture with him after much thinking..wonder why is he so shy about it...i mean it's just adrian pang..not some big-shot like tom cruise....anyway, he finally managed to take a picture and adrian pang is sooooooooo friendly..he asked the name of my colleague and addressed him by that....so sweeet right?

and guess what, pierre png and andrea de cruz was sittin RIGHT behind us..and oh my goodness gracious me...pierre png is so hot and good-looking!! after the intermission, my colleague was like.." hey, i brought my camera, you pretend to take a picture of us but you focus on pierre ya?" and i agreed without hestitation..so there i was..pretending to take a picture of my colleagues while telling them to sit further apart so that pierre is smacked right in between them...hahaha! what a dumb ass i was...and just as i pressed the button..guess what? pierre acutually POSE for me! hahaha..i was so shocked that i moved the camera and didnt manage to capture that amazing shot...*argh* and he was soooo funny...my colleagues were still acting blur that we were not taking his picture and he was like..." oh no, did i ruin your picture? i didnt mean to but well, your heads were so far apart that i'm sure my head is right in the middle of your picture.." oh my god, it was so embarrassing...and i could feel myself blushing!!! and then i said..." do you mind if we take a picture with you then?" and he said.." of course...not a problem at all!" and he came over and took a picture with us...and he was like.." man, you're so red!" and all i could say was.." i cannot help it..you're making me blush" hahahahaha..i'm such a loser...all this time..andrea just sat there and smiled...and my friend's boyfriend apologized to her for our dumbness and guess what she says? she said.." it's alright, as long as they're happy.. " *puke* what a bitch! but well, she's right...we're happy to see such a hottie who is so nice...haha!

so here's the nice picture of us:

i have weird movie tastes

just this week, i caught 3 movies...

on tuesday..this is what i watched:



not sure why but many people think that it's really good..i dont think that it's that fantastic at all..i mean basically, i love daniel craig...i love the SNAG version of james bond...and the action scenes are really exciting and fast-paced..but if you put all the action scenes into a sequence..it sort of doesnt click and i dont like it..the storyline wasnt very strong..but many of my girl friends are sooooo in love with the show...seriously, i dont know why i dont like it that much..maybe they didnt show much gadgets and beautiful aston martin..maybe i find that the new bond is more like a secret killer than a secret agent...maybe he's always getting hurt and dirty and i dont like it? hahahaha..seriously i dont know why...but then again, i never really watched the previous bond movies...so i reckon i basically dont like bond movies? hahaha!

then on friday night..i watched this:



hahaha! obviously i watch it at home...got the dvd...my friends were raving about how good this movie was and how amazing meryl streep is...blah blah blah..and so i was all excited about this show..but after 2 hours..i was soooooooo disappointed..it's such a lame show..the storyline sucks, in fact there's no storyline..basically, the only interesting thing about the show is the clothes which anne hathaway wore...but then again, also not that exciting...but meryl streep is really good...i love the way she talks...so soft but yet full of authority...i seriously have no idea why my friends were in love with that show...

on saturday..i watched this with my colleagues:



frankly speaking...i didnt think the penguins were cute at all..in fact they all look alike to me...i've never thought penguins were cute in the first place..hahaha..they looked kinda clumsy and dumb...anyway, that's beside the point...many of my friends find the movie really funny and cute..but to me, it's only alright...nothing impressive at all..no doubt that the moral of the story is to tell one to live your dream and not be ashamed of who you are...but then again, this is for kids...how many 12-year-olds will watch between the scenes and get these morals, if there are in the first place? of course there's the thing about nature conservation but i dont think kids will get it...they might go to the zoo next time and started doing tap-dancing in front of the penguins to see if they respond..haha! if not for the singing and dancing, i think i would be bored to death..and oh my goodness gracious me...hugh jackman, nicole kidman, robin williams and brittany murphy can really sing....*amazed*

really, i dont know what kind of movie i would like..i guess i like movies with good storylines..movies that tells me the truth..movies that feature handsome guys (but of course) and movies with actions maybe...actually i love horror movies..but am not sure why i'm surrounded by timid people of both sexes...*sighz* quite a boliao entry ya? haha!

should i file a harrassment case?

today...a colleague of mine did the most annoying thing... there were 3 persons talking..let's call them Sales, GDA and F&O..i walked past them and they called me back and below is our conversation:

Sales: hey, did you lose weight? what happen? sad ah?
Me: huh? not sad lah...if you think i'm sad and lose weight...treat me abalone...
Sales: aiyah, abalones fattening...cannot....
GDA: then just bring her out for dinner...think she's free tonight...
Me: yaya...i'm free for dinner with you anytime..haha!
Sales: no lah, she's not experienced enough...
Me: experienced in what?
F&O: yayaya..you're very right...she's not experienced at all...i tell you..she's a virgin...
GDA: aiyoh, you not scare strike by lightning ah?
Me: already struck...
F&O: it's true...she told me she's a virgin...
GDA: aiyoh...you very bad....
Me: whatever....
Sales:......

oh my goodness...i was soooooooo pissed at that moment..what is wrong with this idiot F&O? okay, so what if i've told him that i am a virgin...not that i'm ashamed that i'm one..but it's not something that one goes around telling people....if i have told Sales that i'm one and he went..." ya, correct! " i wouldnt be sooooo fucking pissed...seriously, does this man ever think with his puny brain or does he only know how to use his puny penis? for the rest of the evening...the sight of him simply pissed me off..i very much wished to tell him to fuck off and stop annoying me...

seriously i was contemplating filing a harrasment case against him with HR..but another colleague ask me not to blow it up...then i contemplate about talking to his team leader...but am not sure if i should do it...but anyhow, i've decided..i'm going to give him chances..the next time he pisses me off with things like that..i'm going to speak to his team leader...and if the team leader and him cannot give me a satisfactory whatever, i'm going to file a harrasment case with HR...seriously, i dont give a fuck if i'm causing tension within my department as per my previous entry....it doesnt matter anyway...

i have my wedding plans without the husband..haha

attended a wedding on thursday (11/16/06) at hyatt...it was an ex-colleague's wedding...basically, not very close but she invited me because i have no idea why either...haha! actually, i thought the wedding was very boring...the food looks nice on paper but when the actual thing arrive..it's cold and not so tasty..the emcees are boliao..the usual "yam-sheng" and picture-taking...nothing much...didnt get any pictures from any friends..maybe might not get at all..slow lah, these people...but this wedding makes me think about my own wedding...

for the longest time, i've always dream of having a castle wedding..and i mean a REAL castle..not the one you find in disney world..i want to go europe to have my wedding in a castle...where my guests will live in the rooms and my enemies in the dungeons..haha! everyone will wear medieval gowns and ballroom dancing is a must...it's like as if i'm marrying the duke of some island or etc..haha! and most people, upon hearing this, told me that i'm dreaming...*sighz* but it's really want i want....but suddenly, i have an alternative...i'm going to have my wedding in ZOUK!! hahaha..will reserve the whole of zouk...hire famous DJs...buffet and free flow of alcohol! and instead of the wedding march, i will walk in with my dad to the tune of "Superstar" by Jamelia...hahaha! then my friends told me..my first step, get someone who likes zouk...i try but no guarantee...but there's ONE BIG FLAW in my planning...i DONT have a husband! hahaha! anyway, i wil continue to brainstorm...

ON A DIFFERENT NOTE...

recently, have been feeling very demotivated at work...not that i was extremely motivated..but after my beloved boss left, i have been swarmed with work and somehow, i feel a little bit lost and uncared for...although everyday i have 2 managers asking me if i'm fine but seriously, i dont feel the sincerity and genuinity...*sighz* was soooo looking forward to the return of my colleague in india but i was "hit" by another news...HE'S GOING TO CHINA FOR 2 WEEKS IN DECEMBER!! seriously, i was very pissed when i know about this...why would anyone send an indonesian to china and not a chinese? why is he given the chance to gain exposure and learn new things while i have to stay behind in singapore to cover all the shit? do i seriously look like a shit-lover? so fucked up!!

well, this colleague told me that he has proposed to our manager that i should be given a chance and asked me to speak to our manger to ask him to give me the chance to go instead..and so i did..i sent manager an email, telling him i would love to go and gain exposure and that my race as chinese will definitely help in a all-chinese environment...and he came back with the reply, thanking me for the offer (??!!!) and that there will be opportunity next year for me to go to china and learn and he will keep in mind...blah blah blah...one do not need the intelligence of a rocket scientist to know that it's a " NO " ya? but my colleague kept pestering me to talk to my manager again...but seriously, i dont see the point...i've tried and i've gotten rejected...what more can i say? then my colleague said that i should fight for my own good..blah blah blah...and that he cannot speak to my manager again as he doesnt want to give the manager the impression that he doesnt want to go...so does that mean that i have to give the manager the impression that i must go china no matter what he says?

seriously, i do not give a fuck anymore...frankly speaking, if i'm always not being given the opportunity would i care that much? so what if i clean up all the shit? ultimately, it's the company and others who benefit and not me...well, i will continue to clean up..i'm just doing what i can..hopefully to learn as much as i could...let my resume look nice and i'm going to find a new job this time next year... now i'm beginning to hate going to work and facing all the colleagues..no matter how nice they are...i'm simply not interested at al and somehow am a little pissed with some of them...no amount of perks can perk me up anymore...i dont think i'm even going to join in whatever parties my company is going to hold...from now on, i'm going to be the anti-social babe...take it or leave it...

why cant my hair be black?

havent written anything for quite some time..guess am so drained every single day that my brains are dead by 530pm every day...haha! now i understand why the matrix colleagues always sleep so early...they really need to sleep... anyhow, i've nothing much to write anyway...

anyway, for the past 2 weekends, i managed to catch 2 movies... Prestige and Step-up..and i didnt regret paying 9 bucks for the tickets..these 2 movies are simply awesome... Prestige showcased 2 of the sexiest man on earth...Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale..*drools* and the storyline is rather interesting...quite thought-provoking as well...at least to me that is...it made me think if certain sacrifices are really worthwhile...and also the twist at the end of the story and the development of the ending is awesome...definitely not an anti-climax...however, i really dont know why..but i seriously thought that Christian Bale looks sooooo much like Frank Lampard...see:



hahaha..no idea why but i seemed to be very sensitive to Frank Lampard's face..hahaha!

for Step Up, seriously, if there isnt any dance scenes..the movie is kinda lame..the storyline is sooo typical that anyone can be the storywriter...but the dance moves are sooooooooooo awesome...and Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan can really dance!!! but was a little disappointed that the friend of the lead actor did not get into NBA...thought that would be a happier ending with everyong going after what they really want and dream about...however, i must say....Channing Tatum looks sooooooooo much like Wentworth Miller...seriously, take a look at this:



hahahaha! seriously, i have no idea why..maybe the bald head with piercing eyes are what attracts me most...but personally, i think wentworth is cuter and smarter..yes, channing can dance better and has a nicer bod but hey, wentworth graduated from Princeton University with a degree in the English Language..smart guys turn me on....hahahahaha!

on second thoughts, maybe i just like guys with weird names...like Eminem, Wentworth Miller, Channing Tatum ( which i always have the tendency to spell Churning Tatrum..haha!), Frank Lampard, Patrick Dempsey and many more which i think if i were to list them, this entry will go on and on and on forever...hahaha!

okay, god, i'm sounding like a bimbo..always talking about guys...but then again, i think maybe i'm one...*laughs* anyway, was reading this:



and surprisingly, it's rather interesting...the december issue talks about traders, stock brokers, bankers who are gay and lesbian...and oh my god, the guys are sooooooo hot...what a pity..but am i think it's rather sad that they have to hide in the closet for fear of rejection but luckily, more banks are accepting them for who they are...another article talks about testing in USA...apparently, there are many test agencies in the states that mark all sorts of test and every year, huge amount of errors occur that may cause an executive to lose his/her job, a student to lose his/her opportunity to a good colleage and even cause a small kid to become afraid of tests and exams...another article talks about slavery in some countries and these people are not paid and they provide the raw materials for major car companies...cannot remember the details as i have ant's memory..hee hee...actually, frankly speaking, i'm started reading it because of the gay article with pictures of cute guys..hahaha! however, i find that the articles are a wee bit too long and can get quite boring..maybe i should feedback to bloomberg..hahaha!

and today i made an unbelieveable discovery..actually not me, it's my colleague who alerted me..hahaha..we have a tv in office that will showcase pictures taken at different events in different offices...there's this event called "The Black Tie" event in our New York office...and lo and behold, guess who did i see??? TOM CRUISE AND KATIE HOLMES! seriously i am not kidding...i've asked a few other colleagues to look at the pictures and all of them are equally surprised...seriously, i have no idea why do our New York collegues get to take pictures with them...actually there are a whole lot of other hollywood stars but i can only recognize tom cruise..hahaha! this is sooooo unfair...i heard that in New York, with our office badges, we can get into museums free and enjoy lots of discounts at different stores..over in Singapore, we dont even have free gym....*mutter mutter* tomorrow, am going to have a feedback session cum lunch with the HR manager...maybe it's time i feedback to them about gettings celebrities and perks for us in Singapore...hahaha! but NO zoe tay or fann wong..i was thinking of edison chan, rain, tony leung and likes...*grins*

think it's really time for me to find something worthworth to rant about...if not i am so going to become a dumb blond, except that i'm not blond...haha! okay, quite lame...anyhow, just dyed my hair black...but somehow, it's not that black...i wonder why is it i cannot have jet-black hair?

seriously..

seriously, i have no idea what i want to do with my life...seriously! nothing much has been happening..and so not much entries on this page..even when i wanted to write some things...i have to wonder and think and ponder on what to write...basically, the only thing that flows through my mind is nothing...haha! kinda sad ya?

well, because my boss has left and the other colleague is in india and i'm seated at the end of the row...i'm sort of isolated...and every now and then..i will get this comment from other colleagues: " hey, you're very quiet nowadays ah? are you alright? " honestly, was i that noisy? haha! *shrugs* but seriously, who can i talk to when i'm seated in that corner...basically, it's difficult to talk to the person in front of me as there are 4, not 1 19 inch monitors in front of us of us...as for behind, basically those colleauges are in "matrix" haha! they are so serious and focused that once they started typing away on their computer..they seemed oblivious to the outside world..so seriously, how can i make noise all by myself? and besides, i'm really feeling kinda lonely...

actually, i really hope that they can make a pathway for me through the server room that is between my department and the toilet...haha! every morning, before 12pm, i would have finished 4 X 500 ml = 2000ml = 2 litres of water...and although i'm not petite and all, my bladder seemed to be really small..every other 30 minutes..i have to go to the toilet..and it's really quite a chore for me...haha! but then again, i guess it's good exercise..make me walk and socialize with the people i meet along the way? haha!

was having a nice chat after lunch...and were talking about babies ( no freaking idea why) and where we were born..and today i realized that KK = Kandang Kerbau = Buffalo enclosure..haha! so i am a buffalo baby! and i dont know how..the conversation went on to me finding a husband so that i could get a child..and everyone said that i have such high requirements that i will never find anyone..and finally, they realized that my so-called requirements are just crap as seriously, i have no idea what i really want..hahaha! furthermore, my dataing scene is dead and seriously i really doubt that i would ever get attached..let alone married...anyway, after this conversation..this colleague walked over to my place and asked.." hannah, do you like me? " cracked me up big time! :)

seriously...

she left...

03 November 2006 is the saddest day of my life ever since i joined my new company last december...for the past 11 months in my new company..i have been enjoying myself...nice colleagues, nice perks, nice benefits and nice working environment...did you notice that i didnt say "nice work"? haha! actually seriously i dont think my work is nice..but then again, there's no such things as nice work...it's one's passion about one's work that make it nice..anyway, this is not my main point...haha!

as i was saying...i have been enjoying myself..the parties, the free booze, the free food and all...but suddenly on friday, my beloved boss told me THE NEWS...she told me she's leaving..she's quitting...she's not coming to the same office as me anymore..i cannot say " good morning boss " or " go home boss " anymore..i was so sad that i actually teared..haha! and everyone was so concerned that i'm so sad that she left..haha! guess they were shocked to see me getting emotional..as normally i'm always smiling..but hey, fundanmentally, i'm very emotional...i can even cry when i watch the graduation of the 4 friends of The O.C.! haha!

basically, for the past 11 months..i have a very nice team..my team is really small in singapore office there's on 3 of us..and we are of different personalities and can say we are really closely-knitted...furthermore, my boss has been the best...she's always so kind, so nice, so wonderful, so helpful, so good, so amazing, so awesome and the list goes on and on and on...EVERYONE is always full of priase for her...but she just had to leave...guess she has her own thinking and all...will "interrogate" her when she's done with her wedding..haha!

basically, i'm happy that she has finally found her happiness...just the day before she told me she's leaving..she told me she's getting married..haha! and the date is next saturday..she's going to be married to a taiwanese and and she's going to have her taiwan marriage this saturday..and then her ROM is in December and her singapore wedding will be in january...so i presumed she will be very very very busy and preoccupied till the beginning of next year! :) talking about weddings..i have tons to attend next year....guess it's a good year to get married... haha!

actually, come to think of it...i'm the CURSE of good bosses..haha! in my previous company...i was with a very nice boss for almost a year...and then just as i had settled down and become comfortable...she decided to leave and pursue another career...and now, history repeats itself...i wonder...am i the cause of all these leaving? hahaha! i doubt so..because my bosses love me...hahaha!
