"New Star Wars!"

Having Monday BLUEEEEEES........ :S So let me talk about Star Wars. That always makes me happy:)

Here
are some stuff that I managed to get while on budget:
Captive of Tantive IV Battlepack, RM119.90. This is a very memorable cinema-scene from Ep IV, which includes Darth Vader, 2 Stormtroopers and 2 Rebel Guards. The Stormtroopers are really the real reason anyone should buy this pack. They just look AWESOME in their clean white armour!

Just as I was about to pay and leave, I saw this Order 66 2-pack calling me. This is #3 of 6 and features Darth Vader and Commander Bow. Where's the rest of the set?? Relaz la... I told the shop owner, "Keep for me first. It's not payday yet man..." He said, "No problem, you are our regular customer." Hahah... ;)

Here are some stuff from Feb. The new 30th Aniversary Collection! We have troopers, Jedis, droids and aliens in the first wave. Here we go again... :P
While shopping for CNY, I manage to chance upon this sleek Tie Interceptor at Parkson. Not bad, eh...

While we are at it, let me share some "cinema-scenes" that I took last weekend after 'fixing' my camera:P

Obi-Wan on Boga chasing General Grievous on Wheelbike through the caverns of Utapau!

The gripping battle had to be settled with a blaster, something Obi-Wan though to be
And here's another favourite scene, still in Utapau: Cody returning to Obi-Wan the lightsaber he found. I'm sure he regretted that coz right after, the Emperor gave out Order 66!

Thats it! More to come (when the paycheck arrives...) :P

"Grass is always greener on the other side..."


"The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence"

Haha... How true! Within a week of moving to ATG, I'm already burned out
from the excessive stress and pressure to meet deadlines. This is hardly the 'heaven' I thought it'd be... sigh... oh well, it is the weekend now and for once, I decided that I need a break from work!

So, here I am blogging again. Finally got some time to look thru the photos we
took during the Friday nite out at Autocity. This was the first time I hang out with my colleagues from other groups. I was tentative at first, new group mar. Dunno whether will click well or not. Anyway, here are some photos taken in Soho:




Pretty gals, handsome guys, drunkards, more drunkards, making every gal's dreams come true and an interesting gift from buying a bucket of Heineken.

A dream come true... but for who?? Hahaha.... ;)

Group photo!

It was really fun! I'm really glad I decided to join that day :P Ok, time to go
home... and then I realize why the bar wasn't packed: It was raining! Haha....

"You are free to go"

Yesterday, suddenly the boss came and told me, "You can start moving your things over to ATG. I will complete the paperwork soon".
..............

I was
speechless...

..............

Still
speechless...

Then started to think. What happened? Coz my transfer has been on and off for several months until I didn't think it would happen... and now suddenly they are saying that I can go?

Am I happy then? I'm not sure myself. Right now, a bit sad lah.... :(

I admit that I have a fear of change. We all know change is inevitable. It's like what Anakin said to his mom, Shmi, in
"But I don't want things to change."

To which his mother replied, "Oh, but you can't stop the change, anymore than you can stop the suns from setting."

How true! Some people take change in their stride, some people take a little longer to adapt. I *will* definitely be needing some time to get used to it! New place, new people, new tasks. Just have to remember that I *need* to move out of this comfort zone to save what's left of my stagnant career........

But just as Anakin thought he was ready to leave, he broke down and said, "I can't do it, mom. I just can't do it."

To which Shmi said, "Now be strong. And don't look back. Don't look back..."

"Happy Chinese New Year!"

Here's what I remember of the CNY holidays:

Karaoke, Carlsberg, Dim Sum (at 3am!), Karaoke, Carlsberg, Sunshine Bar, Carlsberg, Sunshine Bar, Carlsberg, Sunshine Bar, Chivas................. u get what I mean!

For CNY countdown, we decided to go Pure Bar. But that day Pure Bar was choking with people so we ended up counting down in the car! Finally decided to go to Red Square for karaoke, even though just went the previous day... :P


Cukup 'emotional': Everyone singing their hearts out!



First visit to Sunshine Bar, it was full but we managed to get a place, thanks to Adrienne's 'persuasion' skills :D But I agree, it's has a very nice setting (by the sea) and it's open air! Nice change from the ultra-stuffy Pure Bar ;)


This is on the 7th day of CNY, "everyone's birthday" they say. Went for loh-sang and a nice dinner by the sea...:)


Su Wei, this is why I was late on that day... my gf n I were watching the Open House celebration in Hang Tuah Mall on TV1. Hahahh..... actually, it's pretty interesting. Was planning to go there to see it, but it's so much more convenient to watch it on TV (no jam, no need to find parking, and no pushing).



Ahh, Sunshine Bar again... This was one crazy night. 2 bottles of Chivas... :S I drank too much until head spinning....... hangover kau-kau! Heh, but still I wasn't crazy enough to dance on the chair! ;) ;)

Hmm... notice that almost every pic got the 3 gals punya pictures?! Oh ya, Annie, your hair is not *that* bad la... Although I prefer the straight hair (I always prefer straight hair anyway), I think it's a nice change for u! :)

That's it! I think I'll lay-off the beer and wine for a little while first. Till the next time, CHEERS!
*with a glass of water*
