It's a piggy weekend afterall.
Phewww...after such a long consecutive working days, finally we have the weekend for ourselves. Saturday morning was our dimsum tea session. Jim and Al arrived earlier at Tai Tong dimsum restaurant where many people were queuing up for seats. We were able to get our table at 10am, shortly after I arrived, hehe.
It was a nice catching up session. The food was so so but the ambiance was so soothing and smooth, appropriate for an eat and chat session. We took our time savouring the tea we had. In fact we were there for 4 whole hours! Gee, time really passed so fast.
Then I proceeded to meet a friend and went for a movie. Bruce Lee, my brother. Not too bad but it is rather a long story, almost 2 hours. The plot is quite interesting especially it focuses on family values. Though I am not from the 70s or before, I have a particular interest towards the fashion and family values back then.
Dinner was at upperstar, something like TGI friday or Chillies. The concept is so similar, and there were so many people in the restaurant. There are computers where people can actually surf the net while eating. Gee... I wonder if that really serve a purpose especially you want your company to focus on you and the food. Still I don't think that's a gd idea. Same goes with tv. Otherwise, I'd rather eat alone at home watching tv.
Today is a lazy day. Slept and slept. Never knew how tired I was. Went breakfast with Jim for fish head noodles. Argghhh...disappointed. Thought it was one of the best in town but that's really fishy and nothing too special bout the dish at all. The ambiance is another no no.
Went to office awhile to do some documentation then proceeded home and sleep...hehe. Eat and sleep again. And eat again. Haha... What a weekend!

Sms'es from the old time
Had a so hectic week. The most tat I wanted was enough of sleep. Due to the recent festivals in this month, many are taking leave for the holiday leaving only both of us working this whole week. Again, I don't wanna complain much. I just want to do my job and move on. Sounds pathetic eh, haha.
Two days ago I was working so late that I had to wander in the town to get the dinner. The eyes were dry and the head was feeling dizzy. Ended up at KFC and that's so not healthy coz I developed some sorethroat after that. Didn't go to gym for the past 2 days.
Eventually, took some time today to attend the gym but there were simply too many people. Had to wait for queue for certain facilities. It's a quickie coz I was simply too tired. Tomorrow again have to wake up early for work. But I guess it would be better off by next week.
Sometimes I just feel like throwing the phone into the sea coz it just kept ringing and ringing and it's really getting to my nerves. Oh yea, this morning I did smsed the previous assistant at the old job. We exchanged smses and suddenly the emotions came around as if we were missing the time working together. Indeed, I had close bonds with some of my fellow staff. Sometimes we don't talk about work, we talk about family matters and life.
Anyways, we were updating on our lives and so. She taught me one thing: Everyone will leave behind an impression in someone's life. Just like the book by mitch albom, the five person you meet in heaven. We crossed each other's path everyday without realizing it. But it does bring an impression or effect to one's life. That's so much about philosophy.
Alright, I better take a quick rest as time permits.
Nite nite.

The movies
Yesterday I started off the day by watching two china made movies which I had been waiting for a long time. The first movie, Ocean Heaven, was a little let down but it was ok. The plot was not as dramatic as I thought but basically the story line is quite appealing. It portrays the relationship between father and his autistic son. The father was diagnosed with terminal stage of liver cancer and he was preparing his autistic son to live by himself in anticipation of his departure. It wasn't as moved as I thought it would be.
At least the story could teach the public one or two things regarding autism and the parents who have to deal with autistic kids. I have been on and off lately see some autistic children. Sometimes they are fine but at times they are really hard to deal with. It's not easy but we need to understand that this is a behavioural problem which comes with the disease itself. I am still not sure if it was right to categorize it as a disease, so pardon me if I wasn't right.
The second movie was Aftershock. A box office movie made in China about the earthquake in Tangshan, China somewhere around the 70's. The plot was really interesting and the storyline is very moving. If you don't wanna cry, don't watch then. It depicts the lives of people affected from the earth quake particularly touching on the life of a mother and her daughter who overheard that the mother chose to save the twin brother rather than her when both of them we buried under the piles of concrete and she(mother) had no choice but was pushed to make a quick decision as only 1 could be saved.
What is more interesting for me here is that it really digs out the strong family values that the Chinese people possess. There are filial piety, love, care, and on top of all, loyalty. That gives me an urge to visit China one day and to find out myself about the Chinese people who live there. I like the fact that parents care alot for their children especially I guess because of the one child policy in China, people are more appreciative of their offsprings.
Ok, both movies sent the mood into a sombre mode the whole evening, haha. But again, I really think Aftershock is really a gd movie and it is actually running on the nominee for best foreign movie at the coming Oscar award.
The weekend wasn't much like a weekend afterall. I have to work today, feeling like as if the working days continue and continue still wondering when's the weekend is coming again, haha. Until then, nite nite.

Hot chocolate and oreos...
A cuppa hot chocolate and some oreos, that defines most of the rainy nights here. It's rainy season again. One moment you see the bright scorching sun. The next hour at noon, the whole street is flooded with water. Wet wet wet....till late at night.
