There are interesting things that shoppers may not notice.
1)Particularly on top floor,6th..on the corner(one of two toilets) is being locked by some certain staffs for personal uses(i suspect it is done by the staffs from nearby shop that has two units close to toilet.
That is really ~_~
2)Most of distributors usually set one-stop stores along back lanes in Sim Lim Square so that dealers can call up and pick up some stuffs from their inventory.
3)Small business stores that doesn't sell many products usually buy from other stores so as to accomdate the customer needs.
4)I must say distributor staff is good thing because it allow you to go outside and offer the products so that the stores can take it up and sell.
I have seen some..One of them..a lady who seem to prefer wearing long and tight-fitting jean..i think i am somewhat attracted by proper dressing unlike those girls who wear skirts(japanese type) but doesn't really match their legs(too bad i happened to see a box of cigarette in her handbag where it was lying on the floor)
5)Dealers usually pay distributors by cheques..the day when distributors go to their store and deliver the list of cost owing along with invoice numbers.
6)Distributor people are much more friendly and outgoing type..90% of them at least..
7)Foreginers from western countries are generally have strong accents covering up the vowels when speaking english but i do think that people from India speak barely inaudible english.Nevertheless i try my best to decode what they are trying to say.
I realise that Singaporeans speech on english is much netural-toned.
I met two friends of mine whom i have not seen for years.
Last two Fridays ago,on the way to Sim Lim Square from SIM by bus when i had paid the semester 2 fee, i happened to see a fat and burly tanned chinese guy lying on the grass indicating that he fainted..some people around him tried to revive.It happened to be near Sentai Hospital. I must say it was my first time seeing like that.
during the brief stay,so far two ladies attracted my attention but i did not try to pick them up.There are some interesting gentlemen.
On the first day of the work..after work,i met Kar Ho so as to pass Principle Of Management textbook to him so that he can do well for POM retest.
The old lady tried not to use the barley we wanted to buy but suggested to use the other barley that is commericalised selling.
Kar Ho questioned her and after 1-2minutes Kar Ho insisted buying that barley drink.
I think it is really silly to persuade customer to buy different barley..
There was a bizzare incident.
After eating and shopping around Bugis Junction for jacket, we went to play some game in acrade.
Kar Ho want to play Street Fighter 3 Turbo(should be this title) and i took a chair that nobody use it to bring over and sit with Kar Ho watching him play.
Few minutes later(like 2-3minutes),a chinese guy tapped my shoulder and look unpleased speaking to me in Chinese.Kar Ho asked what is going on in friendly tone.
We didn't get what he wanted to say.My guess is give up the chair and let him take.
It seem to be one.
30 minutes later we went home together by MRT where Kar Ho drop at Toa Payoh.
Kar Ho told me if i were him,he would fucked him up because he wanted to bully us.
Of course i knew that he wanted to find a small thing to 'aim' at me but i did not choose the usual way which i used to do this.(Give no face and screw him upside down).I thought of my age and the lifestyle i currently live.It is really not neccessary and i rather give up because it doesn't cost us any money and pain.
If you think that way,this incident will have forgotten already..More worth than to fuck the guy up which may result a lot of money involved.
I had my hair cut.The hairdresser who attend me is the great one..he offered me nice price cut off.
Monsoon will gain more customers for sure.
I notice a young chinese guy who come in for a cut..after 5minutes cut and it was DONE!
WHAT THE FUCK!To cut at saloon just for 5 minutes to trim his short hair!
I wonder how much it cost. $33+ for a 5 minutes hair trim must be insane.
If he is working person,it would be all right but he seem to be schooling.
A lot of movie..be sure to read my opinions in each moive. :D
국경의 남쪽 - Gook-gyeong-aui Nam-jjok(South Of The Border)(Korea Movie 2006)
Click here for official website
Synopsis:
"The situation in the war-torn Korean Peninsula has been an important motif in many local films.
In recent years, however, their main focus has shifted from the severe conflict between the two Koreas to individual tragedies and experiences.
The latest film ``Over the Border (Kukkyongui Namjjok),'' takes an even more personal look at the tragic situation and moviegoers may find it just another typical melodrama if they don't pay much attention to the fact that it is the first to deal with the lives of North Korean defectors in Seoul.
Directed by Ahn Pan-suk, the film revolves around Kim Sun-ho (played by Cha Seung-won), who is a horn player in an orchestra in North Korea.
As he belongs to a comparatively high class in his country, Sun-ho enjoys his life and has plans to marry his girlfriend Yon-hwa, whom he is very much in love with.
One day, Sun-ho's family receives a letter from his grandfather in Seoul, whom they had thought was dead. They begin to exchange letters, but this puts their family in great danger so they decide to defect to the South.
Sun-ho is devastated because he can't take Yon-hwa with him but he promises to take her to Seoul as soon as possible after arriving in the South.
In Seoul, he tries to save money to help her escape from the North. But one day, Sun-ho hears that Yon-hwa has married another man. He becomes hopeless but later tries to find a way to adapt himself to life in the South.
The film keeps a certain distance from political and social stances and doesn't touch upon any controversial aspects of the lives of North Koreans. You may think that the struggles by North Korean defectors to seek a new life are not realistically portrayed in the film.
As director Ahn is a famous television drama producer and this is his film directorial debut, he uses many flashbacks and somewhat detailed explanations as he did in his popular TV drama series.
The dating scenes of Sun-ho and Yon-hwa are quite impressive as you get a glimpse of Pyongyang streets and an amusement park, thanks to well-recreated sets and computer graphics.
Overall, it's a new and interesting attempt at imparting the lives of North Koreans; the film shows that it is possible to do so without propaganda themes such as those that depict North Koreans as no longer enemies but neighbors, which have often appeared in such action-packed dramas as ``Shiri'' (1998), ``Joint Security Area JSA'' (2000) and ``TaeGukGi: The Brotherhood War'' (2004).
Sun-ho, a horn player for the Mansoodae Art Company, Pyongyang's state propaganda troupe, is a man who has everything: he's from a well-to-do family and has a beautiful fiancee, Yeon-hwa.
However, his world turns upside-down when authorities discover a letter from his grandfather in Seoul. His family has to flee North Korea and they take refuge in Seoul. Now with no money or friends, Sun-ho's only hope is to make enough money to bring Yeon-hwa from North Korea."
It is a sad story. It is difficult to know whether Yeon-hwa is reading the letters..
After managing to cross over from North to South, Sun-ho didn't preserved and married South Korean because his sister spill the truth but the fact that Yeon-Hwa nearly married and decided to reject.
The moment Yeon-Hwa slogged herself to cross to South Korea..the whole truth exposed and in the end they could not be together.
Opinion:
It is something we cannot solve it so easily. People are too quick to mouth you as a friend with bad thing.
I think if you happen to see like that, do not make too many assumptions or you hurt him/her for the wrong reason.
Like this movie.
Rating:7/10(somehow i am not really fan of this kind of story.I prefer happy ending!haha)

Hidden in the garland is a gold medal.
It turns out that this gold medal is the Lousha token decreed by the leader of the Lousha Gate, Shibumi. ‘Gate’ is a word describing martial arts sect or organization and Lousha Gate is a criminal organization in Asia and whoever owns the gold medal has the right to demand the full cooperation of Lousha Gate. Tiger, unaware of the medal’s powers, is ambushed by the gang during his celebrations. As fate has it, he is saved by Dragon Wong, the bodyguard of one of the gangsters, who is sent to retrieve the medal. A blonde youth using nunchakus, Turbo Shek, also joins in to help them. Dragon retrieves the medal from Tiger. Tiger is shocked when he notices a jade pendant and realizes that Dragon is his step-brother.
Although Dragon is part of Jiang Hu - the complicated society of the martial arts world involving different Gates of evil and good, and working for a criminal gang, he has kept himself away from any criminal activities. After Dragon’s gangster boss Ma Kun returns the plaque to Shibumi he announces his retirement from Jiang Hu. Shibumi is angry upon hearing this news and sends his adopted daughter Lousha to destroy Ma.
In the meantime, Tiger has asked Ma Kun’s daughter Ma Xiaoling to help him inform Dragon that they are brothers. Xiaoling, who has already taken a liking to Tiger, agrees to help him. Dragon actually recognised him from the beginning but refuses to accept him. Lousha kills Ma Kun, but fortunately Dragon manages to fight his way out and escapes to Dragon Tiger Gate with Ma Xiaoling. Dragon hands Xiaoling over to Tiger and leaves, as he is unable to forget the past and so is unable to enter Dragon Tiger Gate.
Excited by the appearance of worthy opponents at Dragon Tiger Gate, Shibumi appears itching for a fight and kills their master Wong Jianglong. Tiger and Shek are devastated. They try to fight back but are no match for Shibumi. Shibumi wipes out Dragon Tiger Gate and leave the two heroes for dead.
In desperation Xiaoling manages to escape with the badly wounded heroes to Bai Yun Mountain in China to seek help from Master Qi, an enigmatic recluse. Qi is famed for his expert skills in martial arts and healing, but also know for his eccentricity and unpredictable character. Xiaoling uses everything she can think of to persuade him to help and finally wins him over with her sincerity and Master Qi brings the heroes back from the gates of death. Master Qi then imparts special skills to both Tiger and Shek and they vow to revenge the death of their master Wong Jianglong. Meanwhile, Dragon almost dies from internal injuries but is saved by Lousha, as all along Lousha and Dragon have been lovers.
Back in Lousha Gate, Shibumi is unafraid of the trio’s attack. He waits at the scene of their final showdown…
Opinions:
Despite Nicholas Tse in this film,i think it is decent all-out action movie with no wow factor.
I can see why a lot of people are not impressed with it.
CGI and story is ok..You can even see the poor kung-fu co-ordinations on Nicholas and Shawn.
Some who used to read DTG comics since young complained that some scenes had edited.
No choice,it is usual thing in every movie that adapt from comics or storybook.
Even Donnie Yen personally train and supervise Shawn and Nicholas to do proper moves but it can't be done overnight.
They really need 10 years to master the proper movement of kung-fu.
As usual buddhist philosophy was slightly added and it was something i valued and believed.
"Everything is illusion in mundane world,only your conviction is real"
Indeed,i know its meaning behind it.
Try figure it out,friends especially IQB/IQO classmates i have.

Mature and yet innocent girl..i like this type
Synopsis:
From bored housewives looking for happiness, and a Casanova trying to conquer his biggest prey, to... high school students, dating, dancing, singing, and doing something a little raunchier in the weirdest School in town. Lee Jae-Yong has had quite the interesting career, after bringing back veteran Lee Mi-Sook after a long hiatus in 정사 (An Affair), and showing Bae Yong-Joon can actually act when he takes off the scarf and glasses in 스캔들 (Untold Scandal). Now this, 다세포 소녀 (Dasepo Naughty Girls), adapted from a wildly popular (raunchy, and hilarious) online manhwa, and his first work without writer Kim Dae-Woo, who went on to direct 음란서생 (Forbidden Quest).

Odd show though...nothing much to say about this film

Junichi is a scout recruiting girls for work in night clubs; but in contrast to what he does, he is actually a sentimental person at heart. Nanami, who is a music teacher at a junior high school, wishes that something would happen to change the course of her ordinary life. Being from a high-class family and having committed to an arranged marriage with a government official, she and the street smart Junichi are from two different worlds. Their initial meetings always ended in disdain for the other, but when Junichi helps her find some sheets of music precious to her, she begins to think that he could change her life. Although it goes against everything that her upbringing has taught her, Nanami decides to give him a chance
My opinion/impression:
Nanami was living a life that repeat over again and again(work,go home,sleep,wake up,the process repeat). She was sort of tired of this lifestyle and gave herself a try to places where she had never been to.
By chance,she met Junichi..Junichi changed her life.
Junichi isn't degree holder.he is merely working as one of those jobs that well-educated people look down.
At the same time,Nanami's family arranged a blind date for her in hope to have her marriage since she was currently 29 years old then.
The man Nanami's parents arranged for blind date is an civil worker.
The U-turn Nanami made is reject him and be with Junichi..quit her job as teacher when jealous guy post a picture of her and Junichi to every teacher in school.
From what i see, Nanami did not make a mistake because she learnt something how it is like.
Something that is not taught by books or person..it had to be done by going through experience.
That is where many people are afraid to be in this kind of situation as Nanami and they easily bulk out due to its family pressure and so-called "what-is-good-and-what-is-bad" talk.
If you have not tried it, you won't understand at all.
It is somewhat similiar to what i mentioned in previous blog entry.
Some want rich friends..some want smart ones..others want 'bad' people..some want punks..They do it based on their own background and lifestyle.

Saishu Heiki Kanojo(She, the Ultimate Weapon)(Japanese Movie 2006)
Saishu Heiki Kanojo (a.k.a. She, The Ultimate Weapon) is based on the hugely popular anime series of the same name. Also known under the titles Saikano and The Last Love Song On This Little Planet, it tells the story of quiet, introverted high school girl Chise, who is madly in love with Shuji, a confident, arrogant athlete. They both go to the same high school in Hokkaido, but it takes Chise all of her courage to tell Shuji about her feelings for him. The two hit it off and form a strong, loving bond, which only intensifies when war breaks out in Japan.
But Chise has a secret, one so dark, so terrible that it may threaten not only her relationship with Shuji, but also her life, his life and the future of the entire country. For Chise is no ordinary girl, she is the ultimate weapon of mass destruction, a genetically engineered cyborg built specifically for military use - and when she goes into battle she strikes fear in everyone around her, including her own troops. On the battlefield she has been dubbed the "Goddess Of Death" and with good reason. Starring Maeda Aki (Battle Royale) and Kubozuka Shunsuke (Hibi), Saishu Heiki Kanojo is a dark, angst-ridden exploration into the very troubled mind of a seemingly innocent girl, handed the power to destroy the world.
My Opinion/impression:
the mecha on girl is damn chio especially it is in complete stage.
Too bad,the ending is quite sad.

Tony Del Piero wrote and posted at at 7:05 pm Do you really say goodbye to your friends and move on to make new friends?
There is no right or wrong doing that way. I want to leave you to find the answer to it.
My own answer to it is the best thing to remember every friend i made..including good and bad times. Such arguements or silly behaviours they shown and done to me doesn't really faze me. The bottom line is i don't intend to cut every friend-friend relationship just because of few incidents you have been uncomfortable.
Why am i writing it? I am compelled to write it after reading the last blog entry Kar Ho made in his own blog.
This guy is good-natured type and i assure that he has gain some experiences he has in the past.One word to sum it. WORTHWHILE...
Such people like Kar Ho deserved to be around to mention of and people who have no such experience(say personal 'war' life) should not dictate the way what people supposed to do all the right things.Simply baseless especially when they have no understanding or such relevant experience to determine how it goes like.
Those few days i worked with Kar Ho to study the subjects we were studying together despite of having different class.
Actually,i could want to make a transfer to his class but something held me back.
Friends in Class C and i am still eager to learn every country's culture.
I am still forever fascinating with all kind of culture no matter what country is.
What Kar Ho wrote in blog entry is well-done and impressive thought. I agree every part because i have been in his shoes before(safetly say sort of).
Yes,friends do determine your life.Exciting?Boring?Lame?
There is a piece of life pattern among us.
Majority of people always prefer to hang out with friends who they have been for so many years for long hours as they always hang out less time with classmates.
Irony..the barrier is only broken when both sides share the same interest to work/talk.
If it is not broken,it will be exactly what i write.
It apply the same to most of working people.
The first thing you think is your own friends to go out with and the last thing is thinking of asking your colleagues to do something relaxing.
It is quite good to make new friends and go with them for sometimes.
In school or workplace, it is best thing to put worries such as backstabbing or stealing people work aside and try to see what your friends really make of.
Kar Ho's friends in his class is quite remarkable.Keep it up, Kar Ho.
One day if there is a chance,i want to get Kar Ho and we try how competitive study-related competitions are really like.
See the people's work and how much quality&quantity do their work differ from ours.
Hopefully it can happen before we finish our studies and start working.
In next blog entry will be about a Japanese drama..it is quite similiar to what i write today and the previous blog entry. Watch it out and you may be realise what your own life is really actually about with the aid of probably enlightment from the next blog entry.

Synopsis
KIM Ji-su is a 31-year-old single woman who once wanted to become a famous pianist like Horowitz. Her dream was shattered but she was able to go on by teaching children to play piano. One day, she discovers a young boy Gyung-min, is a musical genius. She starts to give him intensive music lessons, preparing him for competition, but it does not turn out well. But later, when all seems lost, Ji-su is utterly shocked when she realizes that Gyung-min carries a secret that will change her life forever.
My Opinion:
It is very difficult to bring up a child. Wanting to have a success being recognised musican teacher after unable to go aboard for further studies on music, she realise that the child need great teacher to train and tame his ability to play piano.
Indeed,you don't need to use words to express..likewise you can really express music sounds to express the moment and that is what music is about. If you really think that song lyrics can express, you are very much mistaken.
That is why a lot of people fail to see the thinnest part of the music where it is about the brillant moments.

Starring
Kang, Ho (Acted by Eric Mun)
He was born into an average family. Even though all his parents want from him was for him to be an A student, he seems talented in many areas other than in academics. His athletic talents were noticed when he was an elementary school student. The various sports teams at his schools offered him a chance to play all kinds of sports, but he got tired of their hard and violent training methods, so he always called it quits. He managed to go to a small and unknown college and majored in physical education. It took him twice as long as normal to get his degree since he spent more time playing pool and dancing in the clubs. He sends his resumes to almost all the companies around, but he isn't called in for a single interview. Being a freeloader, he doesn't mind buttering up his little brother to get some pocket money. However, he never feels bad about his situation and always keeps his spirits high. He spends his days reading comic books at his friend's comic book store. Sometimes, he makes up his mind and sends out resumes to prove to his family that he's not going to be freeloader for the rest of his life, nonetheless his family doesn't expect much from him. He was once popular with the girls thanks to his handsome appearance and athletic talents, but now he can't even afford to take a girl out for a cup of coffee. He runs into his high school friend, Bong-Sam and happens to apply for a job in the company where his friend is working. His life is about to turn upside down thanks to some mistakes.
Lee Mi-Ok (Acted by Han Ga-In)
She was born into a poor family. Her mother raised her by working as a maid. Being a smart child, she learned at an early age how to take care of herself as well as how to do housework by helping her mother. By the time she finished elementary school, her mother fell ill and they moved to her mother's hometown. She helped her mother make a living at which time she couldn't even afford to go to middle school. As soon as her mother got better, she resumed her studies and graduated from a commercial high school. Since she was such a hard-working and smart student, she got a job with the help of her school principle's recommendation. She met Bong-Sam who was working at the same company and fell in love with him. She and Bong-Sam had a serious relationship, but Bong-Sam left her and was transferred to an overseas branch office. Since she didn't have a father when she grew up, she was more heartbroken when Bong-Sam left her. She went to the Han River to end her miserable life, but couldn't commit suicide because of Kang Ho. Working in the same company where she used to dream of a future with Bong-Sam is very hard for her, but she doesn't have any other choice. She just blames herself for trusting a man who didn't love her. One day, she finds out that Kang Ho, who saved her life, has started working in her company.
Park, Bong-Sam (Acted by Oh Ji-Ho)
He seems to have it all. He has a good education and a sense of humor. Because of his parents' divorce, he was raised by his grandmother. After his grandmother died, he was sent to live with his alcoholic father. He's a person of strong will. Despite his terrible childhood, he's building a successful life of his own. Since he knows that his mother abandoned her family for another man, he doesn't trust love and he refuses to make a commitment in a relationship. Ignoring the fact that his sick father lives in a small shed, he leads a decent life style in his own apartment.
Seo, Hyeon-Ah (Acted by Lee So-Yeon)
She's never been a genius, but thanks to her parents' attention and investment, she studied abroad after graduating from a prestigious university in Korea. Since she's always been the center of the attention, she tends to be selfish. She went to the same university with Bong-Sam. Later, Bong-Sam leaves Mi-Ok for her.
My opinion:
This drama is simply brillant and funny. Geezz...how can a person with shitty resume get into world-class corporation!
Kang Ho decided to try his luck to apply the job at LK(korean corporation) after looked down by his high school classmate,Bong-Sam.
Why LK? His another high school classmate,Sung-Tae had already written the resume form and so Kang Ho decided to follow him to get back at Bong-Sam.
As far you know,famous companies usually have stringent checks. LK is no exemption to it.
After Kang Ho and Sung Tae submitted the form,the administrative ladies check tons of forms including theirs.
One of 3 ladies looked at Kang Ho's and gave a sneeze at his horrible education background like unknown university(famous ones usually like Seoul National University).
She put Kang Ho's form in the one of two boxes laballed 'rejected'.
The moment the meals came to the office,another administrative lady rushed to join the rest to eat...her leg happened to brush Kang Ho's form and his form flew nicely into another box labelled 'Accepted'
Now,that is 'WHAT THE FUCK' thing when Sung-Tae whose education background is quite good where he studied in Seoul National University heard that Kang Ho was accepted.
That is the first round..Sung-Tae smirked at Kang Ho saying that there is another round that Kang Ho might not able to survive.
(indeed, i heard from someone that he happen to filter out the resumes into two boxes aka 'Rejected' and 'Accepted', the superior/supervisor told him that those who went university from poly will be put into 'Rejected' box. It affected him because he was diploma holder and planned to get degree. He wondered it woulbe damn wasteful if he were to study for degree and got himself rejected. Several reponses like 'unlucky,other companies are not like that.' and 'discrimination!'
From what i see this situation,it is all down to luck.Some companies are like that but others are not. It is difficult to figure who are not like that. If you are damn lucky to apply the company that don't care about what route you went through,that is it. If you claim that it is not lucky,then what?Although people have certain sort of mentality, end of the day you will be the one picking the choice to apply before facing them.It is all about luck when you are applying high position)
Second round check consisted of MCQ questions.
No matter how hard Kang Ho studied,he fell asleep.
On the day of second round, he used pencil..there are 8 sides..each side has different number of dots..eg.. 1 dot,2 dots,3 dots and etc to determine the choice of MCQ answer.
Guess what!On a MCQ paper,he did like this!
GUESS WHAT AGAIN!The machine that grade the MCQ answer can work properly on the answers that has no pattern shapes but not Kang Ho's
Machine went cocked and graded Kang Ho's answer as FULL SCORE instead of ZERO SCORE.
Sung-Tae failed and Kang Ho passed.Sung-Tae,knowing Kang Ho so well couldn't believed that the second round should be objective regardless of the first round.
Even Kang Ho's parents looked him down until they saw the result on the newspaper saying that Kang Ho passed.
The same administrative lady checked the result and profiles. She was surprised that Kang Ho is among them and reported to her supervisor about it.
Her supervisor said ."How can this fucking loser apply in LK?" and he checked Kang Ho's MCQ answer sheet. He was shocked that the answer sheet had all wrong answers and did not reported to District Manager Kim because he wanted to cover up knowing that the 3rd round would be the final straw for Kang Ho.
Third and Last round.It is 2 rounds of face-to-face interview.
One of 2 rounds requite Kang Ho to speak English since LK is international corporation. Unfortunately,he didn't know how to speak or read English.
He was assigned to a group consisted of few people.
Unable to tell them in english,he made use of his group member to help him to translate Korean to English where he show his delication to work for LK.
This blonde foreginer was impressed and gave him good score.
Not yet over!
Next round..
The district manager,Kim who was in charge of Administrative Department overheard the gossip that there was a top hire who score full score in 2nd round.
He asked his secretary to bring Kang Ho's profile and he would be attending the last interview.
There were about 5 judges including Manager Kim.
Manager Kim gave a favor when Kang Ho did not know how to answer a question when asked by one of 5 judges.
When Manager Kim asked Kang Ho about his hobby,Kang Ho said "i am embarrassed to tell you that he likes to read comics"
Manager Kim laughed and gave a good impression..
The other judges were jealous and asked Kang Ho another question about economy("Considering the worldwide economic slump,do you feel democracy and
capitalism can coexist?)
Kang Ho suddenly had a light bulb on his head recalling that Sung Tae told him "True democracy and capitalism cannot coexist.Look at multinational investment organizations. More than opening up markets for a free economy, all they're doing is polarizing the rich and the poor!
After that, District Manager Kim was so impressed and gave him high score.
KANG HO WAS HIRED AFTER GOING THROUGH THREE ROUNDS CHECK!
Supervisor quickly went to ask District Manager Kim about it.
Supervisor asked ,"What's this Kang Ho like?"
Manager Kim curiously asked ,"Why do you ask?"
Supervisor answered ."He's been hired."
Supervisor quietly exposed to Manager Kim.
Manager Kim was shocked.
Why?Why did supervisor cover up?
Because the decision to buy machines to check the MCQ answer and this hires was Manager Kim's decision and the other excecutives couldn't stop because it is all autocratic style of leadership Manager Kim displayed during the meeting.
If it was to be exposed,Manager Kim's head would be rolling!
They had to cover it up and tried to make Kang Ho to do voluntary resignation.
BUT THEY FAILED!
LOL!
This show is quite special.Although there are some love scenes but it focus more how people kissed higher rank positions' asses.
Anything wrong?COVER IT UP BEFORE OPPONENT(same company) ATTACK US!
That is how companies are like that
Unable to establish authority?Two supervisors in same department fight and shout each other because of it!
You did superb project but the higher rank would steal yours and submit as somebody else credit and the higher rank get promoted.
It is all about office politics. Be warned.
Kang Ho survived all and got 3 awards.
Even supervisor,Manager Kim and Bong-Sam couldn't believe it!
What amazing stunts Kang Ho did for LK?
1)During the training, all newbies were assigned to sell all kind of LK products and surrender their wallets,mobile phones and bags.
Kang Ho managed to have 2000 orders of lingeries.(on realistic note,it is already IMPOSSIBLE)
2)Supervisor decided to send Kang Ho to negiotate the contruction problem.
Within one day,he solved it by enlisting his friends to make the thugs to sign the agreement.They were stunned!How can 6 months impasse negoitation ended within a day!"
(HAHA,it is really funny!)
3)Supervisor assigned Kang Ho to pass the documents to two 'Ang Mohs' and his co-worker,Mi-Ok overheard the dialogue from two 'Ang Mohs' in the lift while Kang Ho looked for them in LK hotel.
One of two 'Ang-Mohs' tested her whether she could understand English and she didn't fell into their trick by pretending.
Mi-Ok told Kang Ho about it and Kang Ho informed to Supervisor Moon(not the same supervisor asshole) about it. They decided to submit last year documents about LK strategy to market.
It turn out that two 'Ang Mohs' were corporation cons-men.
Again,the president want to send him an award.Manager Kim was jealous!(HAHAHAHA)
Rating:10/10
This show show that no matter what education background they have, we should not look them down and they can do something wonder!
HAHAHAA!I like this one. I really wish that i am in Kang Ho's shoes because i don't have to study and i still get into a fixed income job.

My blog is worth $564.54.
How much is your blog worth?
Tony Del Piero wrote and posted at at 8:30 pm Hello friends and readers..
It is really nice to have break from school.
At the same time i believe that a lot of students in my school are anxious to receive the result.
In my opinion, people who can do well in those subjects without memorising sentences from the boks are way better than the ones who memorise.
Simply,the creative and intuitive prevail over static memoring because either one of two abilities will able you to do make brilliant decisions in working environment.
Definately!hehe
If you happen to be one who memorise a lot, it is ok.
Just that there are some people who can not cope in the working environment.
Maybe one day, i will highlight this topic with much detailed specific once i have enough concrete evidences and thoughts.
Next topic...It sadden me when people abuse their authority and own age...
Recently, i read something interested on internet forum.
A student wrote a petition to remove principal in his secondary school.
I had read and the writing content he wrote was really amazing.
I spot a theory that can be found in the subject(Principle Of Management) i currently learning in school.
On top of that,he is only Secondary 2 student. This kind of theory is something you don't get to read or learn when you are teenager. Even i did not know about such theory until i studied Principle Of Management subject.
If he did all the writing alone, that is one hell knowledge and understanding to apply those principles and observation. kudos to him if it is true!
Listing out all the points why the principal should be remove is so powerful that it is enough to take him out of the position as long as the facts are true.
MOE stance forever protect good and bad teachers(not the ones who commit the crime outside school).
That is one hell sad part.
MOE should stomp bad teachers out.
Teachers can discpline students but they shouldn't push their luck and authority too far until students can not tolerate.
This generation render the style of teaching and method of punishments useless if you ask me.
It will work on few but doesn't work on most of the students.
It is about the time to review them and introduce significant changes.
We will be seeing more and more reports and articles from newspapers and internet in no time if situations are not addressed.
In my teenager days,there were some teachers abusing too much.
I tolerated enough in primary school but actually,the students around me were not that bad. I can say friendly and fun.
But in Secondary school, the level of thinking changed...There are some or maybe a lot of students were under 'bad people' catogry.
Bad teachers and students in Secondary school is already bad enough to make some of the students taking up initative to their matters.
I can understand why they did that because i have been their shoes before.
No kidding..it is down to their level of thinking and maturity.
Today, i feel that it is really waste of time and i rather walk away as i concentrate on my own personal interests.
It is ridiculous that those bad teachers should retain the authority when their methods are already wrong/not right in the first place.
One big bad atmosphere tell the whole truth.Enough said and it sum up everything.
Talk about some older people pushing their knowledge too hard towards young people.
Indeed,there is a gap generation and level of thinking.
Don't boast how old you are...It really make no different when adults behave like kids when they start aruging over the power of position or the authority they should have.
Look at the recent newspaper report, a man borrowed more than $1 million from his parents and still never paid back. In the end,his parents sued him and won the case.
How old is he?He is 44 years old.Mind you..he is adult and still behaving like a brat protecting the toys away from jealous kids(protecting his assets)*pun intended*
Just now, there is a older guy talking with me.
He remarked how different the Korean drama show between dvd and tv verison.
I explained and gave my opinion.
In fact, i hardly sit in living room watching tv because i have been watching all kind of shows,movies and animations on my computer.
He said don't pay tv license blah blah blah.
I gave my reason that my mother do watch tv most of the time.
He was quite pushy to repeat saying that i don't pay tv license.I kindly repeat my reason.
I see no problem to repeat my reason.
Look...he claimed that it was only two times.Fine with me...two times or maybe few more times..
I am already tired after playing DOTA with Eugene and he still want to say that i am agitated about it.
In fact, i am tired of his pushy ways to make sure that my mind 'was installed' by his view and opinion.
Whatever about the internet fee or government things...he is entitled to have/say your opinion but we including him do not have the right to force them to accept those facts.
Out of blue,he tried to use his own age to claim that i do not have the right to tell him when i kindly tell him to tone down his comments.
You see this..a typical case of abuse.
I am no stranger to it. When i was young,i used to be like him where i have this kind of belief to get whole people to follow the path they should be.
Indeed,this belief is real and good thing but then when i spent a lot of time to observe and learn many kind of belief people have,i realise that other beliefs people have are not wrong either.
Eventually,my level of thinking raise to next level where i started to tone down my own comments.
Definately,i did not want to make him bad but i did my best to tell him to tone down his comments in my kindest way i could do.
Sigh....he pushed his luck too far by repeating 'don't pay tv license' when i have already given excellent reason.
What more do he want?
When will be the day that knock his sense.
I may not able to stop him from repeating but it is really common sense to cut this conversation short and give me a rest.
He failed to see it and started to abuse his age saying 'crazy' and 'i am older than you and don't try to tell me what to do'
WHAT!Can't young people tell older people about their mistakes or bad habit?
See...this kind of older people are way too naive about their own behaviour.
I can understand why he fell out with a lot of people because of his pushy talk attitude.
It show that older people do make mistakes or behave like kid. It doesn't mean younger people are only one making mistakes or behaving like kid or brat.
Seriously,i hope older people should respect young people.
One look at the age, many older people already smirk at young people.
In the same way,people look at your school and if it happen to be third-rate school,they already look them down .
It is really same analogy.
It is already sad enough to find few older people treat young people in proper way.
If he think that it is not aggressive,i am no strange to this kind of thing.
There is another guy who work for a local distributor.He marketed the products that his company bring in the local hardware forum..
Great comment about him..excellent customer service,sensible talk,making a few nice posts to wake naive people..
He is truly computer hardware tech person...
But when he chat in other forum that talk about home theater,projectors and tv, he was so aggressive that he tell every forummer about the Amoi tv having true hdtv picture size although his company don't deal with Amoi products.
Sure thing..what he said about Amoi is true but some forummers already fed up with his aggressive talk(i can tell you that this guy is the same kind as older friend of mine).
In the end, moderater told him about behaviour.
He began to tone his comments down realising that his knowledge for projectors and tv is not adequate enough.
Great in hardware computer knowledge but moderately decent in lcd and plasma tv.
That is why many people have their own beliefs in that forum for certain brand of plasma and lcd tvs. The action he did is to shake down their belief and start getting the true HDTV lcd tv and make plasma tvs look bad.
Both of tv have its pros and cons.
If you have your own belief,say it once in the right time and don't bother to make them to struck in your belief.
It will not work. All you do is to let them to find out and they will change their own belief.
That is why i don't want to be too pushy for that reason and do my best to make their thoughts&beliefs useful in some ways.
Older people tend to repeat and repeat.
Like my mother who tried to drill a belief of her into my mind, i don't accept.
Only when i realise some of her belief make a sense when i see the answer during my own doing.
Likewise, you will understand why they tell you one day.
Japanese culture has one con..it is the culture that young people have to give way to older people(like school...sports club)
In result, there was a abuse/bully just because of this lame i-am-older-than-you attitude hence some young people rebel against older people.

"In order to avoid a jail sentence, Sean Boswell heads to Tokyo to live with his military father. In a low-rent section of the city, Shaun gets caught up in the underground world of drift racing."
Indeed,Americans only love drag racing while Japanese prefer drift racing.What a opposite side.
I bet that this movie educate Americans what is so interesting about Drifting.
I wonder were they in awe of precise drift?
This show is slighly having some ideas from Need For Speed and Initial D.
But the story is not so fantastic although plenty of nice excuted stunts and probably graphics edited.

Lost In Translation(Hollywood Movie 2003)
"Bob Harris(Bill Murray) and Charlotte(Scarlett Johansson) are two Americans in Tokyo. Bob is a movie star in town to shoot a whiskey commerical, while Charlotte is a young woman tagging along with her workaholic photographer husband(Giovanni Ribisi). Unable to sleep, Bob and Charlotte cross paths one night in the luxury hotel bar. This chance meeting soon becomes a surprising friendship. Charlotte and Bob venture through Tokyo, having often hilarious encounters with its citizens, and ultimately discover a new belief in life's possibilities.
Shot entirely on location in Japan, Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation is a valentine to the nature of close friendship and to the city of Tokyo. Ms. Coppola's film, from her original screenplay, comtemplates the unexpected connections we make that might not last - yet stay with us forever"
Story is decent but the directing this movie was well-taken and well-done.
I like Scarlett Johansson.Her look and body struck my eyes!
So far,she and Victora Beckham, only westerns are in my type of womens i fancy a lot.
The ending..too bad the married man, Bob Harris did not get hitch with married
woman,Charlotte.

"A Very Long Engagement" tells the story of a a young woman, Mathilde's relentless search for her fiancée, who has disappeared from the trenches of the Somme during World War One"
Classic love story...For those who read a lot of love storybooks,i recommend this French movie!
Like hell,she did not give up the belief that her fiance did not die in the war.
So long..few years flew,she still believe and her family and most of surviving soliders think that he is dead.
Jesus Christ...incredible girl!
*No girl in this world can have so much faith like this character*
In the end,she finally found him!!!!!!Her faith and belief paid her off handsomely!

While waiting for her to return, Young-sun encounters a group of cruel and brutal youths who may have killed In-jeong."
It is really typical movie.
When the Korean government passed the bill to cut the number of films into half, a lot of Korean actors and actresses were protesting.
By the time passed by, i began to see why.
One of the reasons struck in my mind. films like this are already stale and boring and it is better to reduce the number of films producted in Korea hence letting entertaining-quality shows and filter out&reject the stale ones.
Although this film is pretty decent,i feel that Korean film industry should be making more fresh shows.
So far there are quite number of brillant shows this year.
Korean acting culture is great especially open-minded acts(perhaps) where we don't get to see on local(Singapore) shows that often.

Tony Del Piero wrote and posted at at 9:45 pm Exam period is over.Enough said.
I was ill for few weeks and i couldn't study properly.
I recounted how it happened like that.
Monday 21st..i went to school a bit earlier so that i could print before i attened the lesson.
On that day,i was on the bus that rode very fast and the engine was so noisy and shaking the seats furiously.
I felt headche. GAH!I simply do not like merecdes TIBS buses but if i were to sit with friends,i would have not felt ill because i chatted with them forgetting the surroundings.
In the air-conditioned lecture room,i caught cold.
The next day,Tuesday 22nd..I am having POA lesson before taking POA CA2 test in the afternoon.
My nose killed me..very heavy flu,body ache,tired,fever...
After POA CA2 test,i went home straight away fast so that i could have rest.
I popped panadol for flu,fever,bodyache into my mouth and slept.
next day..23rd Wednesday..fever annd flu went down but it won't go away..
In the end i went to see doctor in the evening.
The doctor diagnosed that i had flu infection.
*faint* The nurse gave me 5 different types of medicine to cure my flu,cough,fever,headache,body ache..
I had no choice to see doctor because i needed to study POM which would have load shit of theory questions.
Thuesday to next Tuesday,my mood to study was not so good.
I realised that the teachers were not in the same class like previous teachers I had worked before.
I have to increase my effort to study than usual beacuse teachers find it hard to teach more than 100 students per class.
I guess no choice..From semester 2,i will change my study pattern since my winning study formula for previous course in ITE was rendered useless right now.
I will be back with fabulous results :D
I guess making more friends that make me to stick with Class C.
Not too bad,good impression on students from China and some from Vietnam.
Jason from Vietnam is very friendy and outgoing guy.
Lance(Pingwei) from China is very playful and his favourite word is 'Trust me!','What the hell' and 'Oh my god'
Benny from China is quite unique among China classmates.His hairstyle and preference dressing attire is so different from others.I learnt a bit from how how to style long hair ensuring having decent amount of spike.
There are few more classmates i have made.
Today,after the BC exam,i went with Lance to Expo because he needed to buy digital camera.He bought Casio Exilim..easy and nice camera..
After that,we went to Paya Lebar air base for exhibition show.
We took a lot of pictures there.
These days,i have been reading numberous blogs including Adeline's
Adeline seem to be writing well about her. :)
I want to write something but first of all, Gilian incident with media was very bad enough.
This kind of thing i am going to write is nowhere worse or bad as this one.
Don't worry or fret about it.
It properly serve good purpose fot understanding.
My friend decided to tell me something since he needed some opinions from me to ease the tension and it was about his sister.
One day...his family including himself did not know that his sister brought her boyfriend home and slept together overnight.
The point is that his youngest sister came home late from working and was too tired to notice anything.
She was about to change herself but his father came in to check his sisters.
Out of blue,his father saw his sister and boyfriend.
Being unsatisfied,his father blew his top saying that this home was not hotel and wanted them to wake up.
That is the thing what he talked about..
Indeed,some parents having old fashioned thinking would object it beacuse it was not appropriate thing to do.
Actually there are other parents who choose the option to remind their children about the consqences.They don't have strong objections as their children do that.
Mark my word.Anyone including me is still kid regardless of age because they want to try and experience this kind of thing.
It is better to withstand until you actually experience it in the proper way.
Why need to be so patient?Just look at the girl who is now taking A level and telling about her experience to TNP..What happened?
Her very first and last boyfriend gave her HIV.
That is 'what the fuck' conclusion.Definately unlucky in some way but should have questioned her boyfriend whether he had sex before.
Pitiful in one side but in other side,you fail to find out before you can do it.
Why like that?What can be done if they/you want this kind of accompany?
1)Be proud of your boyfriend/girlfriend and be sure to let know your family that your boyfriend/girlfriend is staying and sleeping with you.
If you are not proud to introduce and you are having cold feet to tell.What is the point of having them? If either one don't embrace each other to connect with each other family,you can expect break-up in any time.
2)You have to give respect to everyone before everyone return repsect back to you.
The home was bought and own by your parents. Don't ever try to force your method like not informing your parents that you are bringing boyfriend/girlfriend.
I suggest that you buy your own house or rent a room to do it and you get no fuss.
3)It is better to be patient before you will have a chance to experience it one day.
What is the hurry since you have your boyfriend/girlfriend with you.
If you are really afraid of losing them, the relationship is really useless.
Zero confidence,zero trust,zero belief,zero understanding,zero thoughts..you can go and forget your own boyfriend/girlfriend.
That is what i leave this with such impression. It is up to you to react in your mind and learn your mistake.We are still young..TOO YOUNG..not even mature enough to make such decision no matter how old you are or you are working.
Lance gave me his opinion that we must first give respect to ourselves.
It is not wrong either but poor principle because if everyone give respect to themselves, the world will not be better when no one is willing to help out or do anything for each other.
That is why we must give respect to them first before they return theirs.This way we have a lot of benefits than the one just to respect yourself.
If they don't return their respect back to you,they can go and fuck off.
Don't be disappointed and you still have others to give you respect back.

Not too bad show.If you want to watch it,i advise you not to eat foods while watching this show.
Indeed,too much hatred for probably wrong reasons if she had not confirmed some of their intentions.One of the typical humans behavior.
What a pity in fact.
Before you develop a bad impression of someone,you should go and find out the actual intention first.
