Houston... Houston... I'm going down...

Last week was really traumatic to me. Apart from getting my 1st ever summon (ya, the 1st one), I've been totally distressed at work. First, I got sick. Second I got to work despite sick. I admit that it was partially because I forced myself to. But instead of doing that, it didn't seem to have an alternative for me.

I worked on holiday and weekend also in standby mode at home. I'm coughing like my body is moaning that I've gone beyond my limit. I'm doing all this for myself? Now my body is showing the answer to me. I'm really tired of everything... and everyone that I've been trying to bear with. I need to learn more than getting up after fell down. Now wait what my mind tells me next? An action will be done.

(The Great) Escape from Summons

This morning, when I was ready to take my breakfast at home after self-decoration, I looked out to my car parked alongside the road. Then I saw a hardworking policeman was taking out his summons pad from his uniform to get ready for summoning cash (that's what summons are for) from the car owners who had parked at the roadside.

My first response was just stunned. Then came the hard decision whether I should grab a few packets of biscuits for my breakfast or to hustle down to drive my innocent car away (yes, it's really a hard decision). After a minute of pondering, I flew (it's different from "jumped" in Chinese) down from my apartment. When I got out from my apartment area, gosh... it ain't just one guy but four!! I picked up my pace and hopped into my car and started the engine to drive away. And when I did that, the good policeman was giving ticket to the car parked just in front of me...

Come on... it's an apartment area (though just close enough). And it's damn early in the day. What do you people expect wo? Haih, looks like I need to go out earlier tomorrow onwards until I got my car park slot inside the apartment area (it's damn $$$ leh).

Funny video~ Santa training

Ho! ho! ho! I should have found this video before Christmas so that I could send it to all my friends as a Christmas greeting. A video about the life in Santa training camp. Oh yeah, they're real!!! And it's really not easy to be a Santa.

Merry Christmas~

Another favourite catastrophe movie

This noon I just went to watch this movie I Am Legend alone (just like the charm in this movie :D). It's starred by Will Smith who also played in the movie Independence Day (yet another catastrophe movie :P).

According to an interview with him, he explained that this movie is about being all alone in this world after a virus catastrophe had taken place. Even in the movie poster itself, I found the word ALONE is right behind his role character. He also stressed that many things we can see in this movie is about how a person could manage to survive all by oneself in a totally isolated space. He did exercise everyday in the morning, played golf game, watched recorded tapes on TV, and talked to the air. It's all about a schedule.

There's a scene in the movie that I was touched deep down to my heart (and with tears). It was when he spent the last minutes with his only companion - a dog given by his daughter to "protect" his dad before she left him forever. It was so beautiful.
