Again,i passed by somebody's home(1st floor) and i saw a white paper on the wall next to the clothes hanger. It said in english that god will watch you. Literally, they are tired of having clothes hanger being knocked by passerby.
On 22nd March 2007, an article caught my attention. It said that a HK lady was trying to use tweeter to remove something that was wriggling inside her ear. As a result, the tweeter struck inside her ear and she had to ask for help. Luckily, the hospital managed to remove it with ease as well as without damaging her ear drum or nerve. I think it will be good piece of idea for you guys how you should deal with it. It is better to take care of yourself rather than replying your own itch.
What the fuck.You wouldn't believe what is happening to me.
On 4th April 2007, i went to play soccer on street soccer court nearby my home with my friends. I was happened to bring laptop just to transfer stuffs to Mick's portable hdd. After playing,i found my bag disappeared.
How did i feel?I was stunned and shocked to as why my bag containing laptop,house key,cd walkman,wallet and course note disappeared into thin air.
I don't mind losing wallet but losing the bag?What the fuck...
Indeed daring and silent thief and biggest joke of all was my friends' bags and pouch were not stolen since my bag was with them that time.
I hope that you spread my message to every friend you have to take note of my things someone may happen to sell or carry.
Ever since i got my laptop back from service centre last month,i never remove the transparent plastic cover of the laptop just like this picture.
Although i made police report,i feel that it is good to have triads link because they have no qualms searching for my lost items upside down as in opening everybody home if i happen to know someone.
That is why there are pros and cons for police and triads.
why did i say that?I saw Hana Yori Dango 2 and one of F4 found Makino's wallet in New York through his link with underworld.
It is really 'drop jaw' thing if it happen in real life in my opinion.
Andy told me that i was brave with this matter. If he were in my shoes, he would have cried instead. I always kept handphone and laptop boxes just in case for serial numbers to detect the thief. I hope that you do the same. Don't be foolish to throw them right away from the moment u purchased. It is better to be prepared.
Why am i so calm? I believe i will have good moments to compensate bad moments later on and then bad moments will come back to me. It is like yin and yang thing to me and i am great believer in it due Zhuge Liang's concept. Similarily, the thief may have good moment last night but later on bad moment?*grin*
At the same time,during playing soccer, i was about to steal the ball out of a stranger feet so that i can attack.Unfortunately,the stranger managed to evade me and somehow my leg hooked with his leg.Eventually,i fell and ti open my eyes wide as if i have jumped off the building. It was realy good feeling until my back of head hit the concrete floor resulting a thump sound. That time,i felt a chill of death and actually, i don't mind dying now if the fate decide it. I am still kicking alive now and i just hope that i do not have blood clot in my brain.
Once again, why did i say about blood clot?I read an article of someone and doctor opinion. In any case,it is possible to have blood clot during minor or serious fall.
I hope it knock me into the sense that i can study much harder than the one i used to be in primary school.
Right now,my calf,neck and arm and body are aching due to my rigours excerise(playing soccer out of the stream).

To escape from the scene, Min-joon pretends not to understand English, but when Min-joon arrives at work, she finds out that the foreigner, Robin, is none other than her newly appointed boss
Opinions:
See..Naive women like her need some education. Somehow i am quite similar to this male lead character(minus off his love experience) in terms of character and handling situation. Daniel Henney is getting popular in Korea and in no time a lot of women will be his fan because of his suave look(a mixture of american and korean).
Unfortunately,i am quite appalled to as why director has chosen most of the dialogue of a female lead character to speak in Korean to male lead character who do not speak korean and yet he get the meaning of what he say.
Rating:7/10
bonus:1)Suave looking main leading actor for girls to see 2)Good enough to educate some girls on love relationship

Opinion:
A story from the story book being adapted into a movie is just mere fantasy one for children who love to fantasise in their own dream.Odd enough, there is no ending for overall after accomplish the 'first step'.
Rating:5/10(too average for one)

Synopsis:
China, Later Tang Dynasty, 10th Century. On the eve of the Chong Yang Festival, golden flowers fill the Imperial Palace. The Emperor (Chow Yun Fat) returns unexpectedly with his second son, Prince Jai (Jay Chou). His pretext is to celebrate the holiday with his family, but given the chilled relations between the Emperor and the ailing Empress (Gong Li), this seems disingenuous. For many years, the Empress and Crown Prince Wan (Liu Ye), her stepson, have had an illicit liaison. Feeling trapped, Prince Wan dreams of escaping the palace with his secret love Chan (Li Man), the Imperial Doctor's daughter. Meanwhile, Prince Jai, the faithful son, grows worried over the Empress's health and her obsession with golden chrysanthemums. Could she be headed down an ominous path? The Emperor harbors equally clandestine plans; the Imperial Doctor (Ni Dahong) is the only one privy to his machinations. When the Emperor senses a looming threat, he relocates the doctor's family from the Palace to a remote area. While they are en route, mysterious assassins attack them. Chan and her mother, Jiang Shi (Chen Jin) are forced back to the palace. Their return sets off a tumultuous sequence of dark surprises. Amid the glamour and grandeur of the festival, ugly secrets are revealed. As the Imperial Family continues its elaborate charade in a palatial setting, thousands of golden armored warriors charge the palace. Who is behind this brutal rebellion? Where do Prince Jai's loyalties lie? Between love and desire, is there a final winner? Against a moonlit night, thousands of chrysanthemum blossoms are trampled as blood spills across the Imperial Palace
Opinions:
I liked the ending a lot but such circumstance left me a deep impression on incest.
I was quite amazed how thousands and thousand of imperial servants managed to remoev all dead bodies,clean all the blood all over the floor,replace the carpet and remove blood stained yellow flower by replacing with new yellow flowers. It was done within minutes. JESUS!!!If something like this in the corporation,i can say everything will be done without any hitch!Something i want to see it in project work or corporation working environment.

Opinions:
Although i have not seen old films of Rocky I to IV, i decide to take the chance to watch this final installment of Rocky. As far as i know ever since i was hooked to boxing theme anime called Hajime No Ippo, i practically know much about boxing as i speak of. It was quite emotional thing to watch old timer Rocky up against young boxer who has never lost ever in his life.
Rating:6/10
Bonsus: 1)Sylvester Stallone decide to take his hand to this matter to kill the disappointment about Rocky IV by directing Rocky Balboa all by himself. Good work and the original is there as per said by the critics.

Opinions:
Indeed,it is all about nations/clans fighting against nations/clans. I always like to see how people in different groups fight each other for suvival orany other means in their own belief in the past. Interestingly, i learnt that Mel Gibson financed the film himself!
Rating:8/10
Bonsus: 1)Violent animal-eating scenes 2)Cruelty acts after conquering villages 3)Beliefs in the tribe

Opinions:
It is really ordinary story but i like the theme.

Synopsis:
Here's one restaurant where hunks with distinctive personalities put their hearts and souls into cooking.
Natsumi, who works in a cafe, loves lunchtime. In fact, nothing excites her more than walking down the street thinking where she'll eat lunch at.
One day, a guy by the name of Kennichiro suddenly interrupts Natsumi as she is savoring her favorite rice omelet. He pulls the now furious Natsumi out of the restaurant and begs her to come home with him so that he can introduce her to his family. He explains to her that his father is sick, and since leaving home two years ago after a big fight, the only way he can return home is if he has a fiancee with him.
Kennichiro's father and 3 brothers: Yujiro, Junzaburo, and Koshiro, run a restaurant called "Kitchen Macaroni." The only one in the family that doesn't work there is Kennichiro. Also working at the restaurant are Mamoru, a cook, and Minoru, an apprentice cook.
As Kennichiro and Natsumi approach the restaurant, Kennichiro asks Natsumi to go in alone and check out what is happening inside. Natsumi responds by reluctantly entering alone. As she takes a look around, she sees Koshiro talking to Tomato Shiomi, who works at the nearby grocery store called "Shiomi." Kennichiro's other brothers are working in the kitchen. Next she spots Kenzo, who according to Kennichiro is supposed to be ill. Naturally, Natsumi can't believe how irresponsible Kennichiro is for telling her such a thing. While she is thinking this, the omelet that she ordered arrives. She takes one bite out of it, and as she smiles, the next thing out of her mouth is, "delicious!" A short time after, Kennichiro walks into the restaurant, and his brother Yujiro grabs him and starts lecturing him for coming back. Natsumi breaks them apart, but senses Kennichiro isn't appreciated there.
This is the first day that Natsumi gets a real "taste" of "Kitchen Macaroni," and also Kennichiro's brothers, who are bent on serving delicious lunches to their customers.

Opinions:
That is good story for kids who are trying to develop into someone being adults in few years time. It is touching and hearting story to encourage to convert so-called-ugly stuffs into useful ones in near future. That is good way to portray.
The tapping feet the penquin is quite similar to the humans wearing with thick shoes that have leather skin for dancing purpose.
Rating:6/10
Bonus: Very good educational story for kids.The ending is well done.
Komodo Vs Cobra(Hollywood Movie 2005)

Detective Kim begins to suspect Jung-ho is involved in the gruesome events that surround him. And the case becomes even more desperate when Soo-yeon herself disappears.
Opinions:
Ever since i last seen handicap based movie,Marathon, this current movie left me with my mouth open wide exclaiming that i can't believe it especially the 'secret' was let out of the bag in the end. Simply BRILLIANT! That is why Korean film industry is way better than Japanese's. For Marathon, it was about a young man with low iq challenging himself on running professionally. What stunned me is that this Marathon movie is based on real-life where it showed a guy running around a soccer field for 100 times ordered by listless coach. Not even a whimp or objection, this young kid did it. On normal basis, 99% of people will moan for that.
Back to this movie, World Of Silence, the male main lead(i do not want to reveal the spoiler) talk as if he could understand them. I myself has similar ability as him but i am nowhere good as him. If in real life,anyone do it, i respect him! He never ask for pity and all he do is to keep the flow going lest nobody realise what is going on in him.
Rating:10/10
Bonus:1) Superb story 2)Unbelieveable ending 3)top-class acting by male lead character and male supporting character 4)Quite good twist suspense 5)unbelieveable 'secret'

You can never know that there are a lot of people having enraged feelings and yet it is hidden for a long time.One day it will be blown out of proportion when something trigger it. That is why society goes into panic. It show that you should not take people and your own life lightly.

It is quite stressful especially when there is no day break between two exam papers.
Exam papers to be taken straight three consecutive days is madness! But then other students from other intakes are doing that as well. So i tell myself that if they can do it,why can't i do it as well?*grin*
Another shocker.I always know that UOL programmes always start every June. Since my diploma course only end in September, by logic i think that it is impossible to apply UOL course without diploma paper. Not until i am told by my classmate, he claim that i can enrol UOL course this year. Taking a bit of salt on his word, i decide to double check with Grace who attended the UOL seminar few weeks ago because my classmate sometimes a bit dubious due to his poor english proficiency and sometimes tell lies. *Grasp!!!!*
Grace tells me that we can apply UOL this year but there is a condition. It is to go through bridging course first.
I thought ,"WAH!BLOODY HELL,FUCK THE HIGH LEVEL OF RISK. I am going to apply it with Grace this friday"
Here i come for UOl but i think i am going to suffer!
Last two Monday ago, i went to attend Managerial Accounting reviison class with Grace. It is the earliest and i don't want to attend the class that is for Class C that is for last two Tuesday ago. By the time i step in, i spot a few people from Class C but majority ones are Class A and class B.
Finally i saw Ka Ho coming in the class just few minutes late after the lesson started.
I had talked with Grace for sometimes and i never knew that Grace can be different person from what i would have perceive her based on what i observe her in our ITE days.
She is really different person! UNBELIEVEABLE...I never thought that she had such ambitious to study as much as she can as well as she value friendship much more than money or exam results. I hope that her friends should value her seriously. Where can you find such friend who value friendship than money and anything else! I feel that it is really good to know Grace. I guess i probably study with her more often since i am very confident that she can excel very very well.
Nowadays she is mature girl now.
My mother asked me to change the funiture arrangement in my room for better fengshui luck. *rolling my eyes* Nevertheless, i did it this morning till early afternoon based on her suggestion where the bed should not be that position where the lower upper wall will bring bad luck to my head.
Oh well, i don't know but i give it a try since i will like to have comfortable study life if it offer a glimpsing ray of hope.
I am getting so tired and having not enough sleep ever since exams ended.
Thanks to my vigilant effort to study each subject after i slept and woke up on the day of each exam paper day.
Let me recount those three days. The first paper was 'Managing Human Resource' and that i woke up at 4am. The next day, the second paper was 'Principles of Marketing' and i woke up at 3am. Followed by accounting paper on the third day, i only woke up at 5.30am because it is my strongest subject. Anything related to accounting,i have superb background to begin with.
Acutally,i feel that teaching education should be like nurturing students' understanding towards the subject rather than teach the subhect and leave to the students to understand.
I come to feel that because Grace said (roughly) "Teacher said that you have to learn it yourself".
If it is in the case, i should do this way ensuring that i will have smooth ride on Semester 4 and 5. BLOODY HELL.I prefer Mrs Yu,Mrs Lee and Ms Lam teaching than the Managerial Accounting teacher.
it is better not to shoot your own foot yourself!
Here i come to UOL. I am trying to recall what i really want to write for blog entry and it will be for the next blog entry.
