非诚勿扰

久违了葛优，在桂林看见《非诚勿扰》的书及电影，蠢蠢欲动，就买了。可是，看着封面，我又过不了自己的关，老觉得葛优和舒淇谈恋爱，怎么看都不对眼。可，我还是看了。

说实在的，冯小刚还是专心拍戏好了。书写得普普通通，看完以后还有点后悔买DVD呢。

电影比书好看，多亏葛优把角色演活了。而舒淇呢，有点失望，我老觉得她不比梁笑笑可爱，有点太过忧郁。不过，找美女嘛，找舒淇没错。

故事其实很简单，短片里的征婚启事看完你就可以自己猜测剧情。

值得看吗？

看葛优就值回了票价！书嘛，就算了。

我妹妹

第一次买张大春的书。

其实，在逛书店的时候，经常看见张大春这名字。可是，从来没有真正尝试。华文书，看来看去，来来去去那几位作家，有时候，我也闷了。

昨天，在Takashimaya败家的时候，在Kinokuniya买了两本书，其一，就是《我妹妹》。

《我妹妹》讲述一个看似正常的家庭，隐藏的一些不可告人的秘密。爸爸和画家有外遇，妈妈患上精神病，妹妹18岁未婚先孕……仿佛，映射了当今社会的病态。

我想，可以在尝试更多张大春的书。

自由

她是一个美丽的女孩。从小她便知道，靠这张脸蛋，她几乎可以要风得风，要雨得雨。父母从来不拒绝她，哥哥更是对她疼爱有加。上了中学，排队等她放学的男生一箩箩。更别说在后头为她做功课的傻瓜。

可是，功课可以代做，考试不能代考。她终究没考上高中。

十八岁出社会工作，她非常厌倦为人打工的生活。老觉得那一丁点钱，一下子就花光，更别说养老。

得天独厚的美貌，让她知道如何运用那嫣然一笑。辞掉秘书那份苦差，她到上流社会的名牌男装当女服务员。不出一个月，当地富商就帮她陪上月薪，把她关在郊外的别墅里。

在别墅里住了一年，她没有朋友，没有家人，没有社交。面对的，只有管家、女佣、园丁、司机……当然，还有那男人。天知道男人究竟有几栋别墅，她一周只看见他一次，而且，从来不过夜。

她在十九岁那年，已经厌倦了生活。

在过去的一年，她曾经向他要求好多东西，也曾经抗拒他的要求。可当然，那换来的，只有一顿毒打，还有冷漠。

管家说：“不自力更生，就得听他人所愿。你不会再有自由，何必同自己作对？”

她不认命。二十岁那天，她逃走了。

可是，没有社会和工作经验的她，很快的，再被另一个富商买去。故事向轮盘一样，转了又转，兜了又兜，她始终没逃出故事的框框。只是男主角一直在换名字。

随着鱼尾纹长了出来以后，她也了解，再逃也不会有人收留。

这种尴尬的年龄，她想起第一位管家的话。

你不会再有自由，何必同自己作对？

她走向阳台，仰天说，谁说我没有自由？

一跃。

从50楼跳下的时候，她以为像电影一样，死前的回忆会一幕一幕的上映。可是没有，她没有回忆。

死亡，就是我唯一的自由。

这，就是她留在世上的最后一句话。

一个美貌死了，男人可以再换一个美貌。过了一天，她也不过是地方版的头版新闻而已。

扮嘢王

我今早不知为什么，只是低下身用力捡东西，就这样扭伤了颈项。痛到我动弹不得，从早上到现在，我只能够向前看，只能够坐直直。原本想收拾一下房间，准备六月搬家，结果，大半天时间只用来看电视，还有在“你管”上看录影。

看到这个叫李思捷的扮嘢王，很像哦！

妈妈

我工作的地方，多半是已经做人父母的同事。我老是像不相干人士，在一旁听他们讲故事。

有一次，像往常一样，我和一群妈妈饮茶。一群女人在羡慕那位新上任妈妈身材那么快回复……身材，永远是女人最爱的话题。我在一旁静静地看，发现这位新妈妈，连疲累的样子都没有。暗暗觉得厉害！

后来她们说着说着，她开始分享的故事，我才发现，这位妈妈根本就不用照顾自己的孩子。不怪得……精神这样好！她呀，不帮孩子洗澡，晚上孩子哭闹也不管，换尿布、洗屁股，更是双手叉腰旁观。我还以为有个好爸爸帮她做所有事物，其实，是女佣！

女佣是第一个见识孩子爬行、走路、说话……而她，买了一台相机给女佣，叫女佣把经典一刻拍下。结果，女佣每天在家无所事事，每天都拍好几十张相片。还用打印机打印，然后收在相簿里，比妈妈还像妈妈。

而那位骄傲的妈妈，最大的贡献，变成了生下孩子，还有喂人奶。

我这个没有经验的，当然是在一旁静静不说话。

可是，这样生小孩，有意思吗？

Oh My God!

张学友配费玉清，想都没想过！

Bohemian Rhapsody

I don't know about you, Faye's performance of this song is rather, weird.

这样的人很寂寞

你知道什么是Teh冰吗？

毓豪在我Long Weekend回家的时候，很好心地陪那位很寂寞又有一点怪怪的Housemate吃晚餐（我才不陪他哩！）。晚餐的时候，毓豪点了Teh冰，这位仁兄竟然不知道是什么。

他，是马来西亚长大的华人，毕业后在新加坡工作，竟然不知道Teh冰为何物？

他什么都有，他有Videocam，Xbox，电视机，DVD, 机器人玩具，日本剑，DSLR， 两台电脑，两台电话，U-papa……还有，一个杯。他很寂寞。每天早上睡醒就是打开电视。晚上下班回家，一个人吃饭，开着电视，开着电脑，还开着Smart Phone，一个人不知道为什么要同时用这么多东西。有一次，我还发现他周末的时候三点才起床，就这样一班的周末不见了。

他大概没什么朋友，要不然出门吃饭肯定听过Teh冰。我还是觉得很奇怪。

他什么都有，就是寂寞了一点。

Christian Bale

You cannot resist Johnny Depp, no matter he's a gay pirate, or a weirdo with scissors hands, or a barber who killed... What more if he's a handsome young man? Be it a robber, who cares :P

Christian Bale is in the movie too, the best batman ever. A man who bring out a luxury white colour shirts who caught my attention.

Johnny Depp and Christian Bale, who can resist? Surely not me! I'm looking forward!!!

By the way, this is based on true story. I don't want to spoil your enjoyment of watching a movie, so, I'll just share the trailer. Visit the homepage too~

My Beloved Cousins

We are a group of cousins who did not physically grow up together in our childhood days. We only see each other every or every other weekend when we were still very very young, when my grandma was still staying in the old house. As we grow up, some of us further study and work abroad, some of us migrated, some of us remain in Penang.

But the special bond between us never really break. We always look forward for the Chinese New Year gathering, or any other smaller gatherings that we had here and there in a year.

I grew up to think that cousins are supposed to be like this until I realized from friends and other families, that this is not really the way it is.

I appreciate this cousins to cousins love, which has no age boundaries, ranges from 30 to 1 year old, of no generation gap.

Of course, I think we'll continue to stay in this strong bond :D

You guys are the coolest cousins! (Sara, Stephen, Sonia, that includes you guys too!)

Not My Day

It's not my day!

I nearly can't get out from the house this morning because Yee Hau took two pairs of keys accidentally. I searched high and low, up and down, left and right, in and out.... Luckily, my housemate was still around so he left his keys for me as I'm the last one to leave.

When I was working in the lab, I got a deep cut in my finger, bleeding non stop, and swollen! The worst part was, I got insulted by the panel doctor when she asked me:"Are you a Singaporean?" I answered her no with a puzzled looking face, what has my nationality got to do with my cut? Then, she asked me:"Can you understand what I'm talking about?"

WTF!

After that, she wrote me a refer letter to A&E. I was quite puzzled, though I have a deep cut, but I didn't see a need to go A&E. I asked her if it's that serious. I thought she might be concerned with some other things that lay man like me didn't think of. But, she gave me the you-are-so-stupid look and said:"It depends on you. I won't force you to go A&E."

@#$%#$%@#$%$

No matter how I phrased my question, she asked me to decide on my own!

Before I left the clinic, I asked her if I were to go A&E, which hospital should I go to. This was her reply.

"No worries dear, all the A&E in Singapore can handle a cut like this."

BLOODY HELL!!!

I didn't go to A&E at the end but just a nearby clinic that I went before which I think the doctor was quite ok. I was given injection and antibiotic and a proper bandage! (The bandage of the first panel doc looked something like I did with my left hand alone!)

That's how I ended up typing this blog with my right hand partially cacat in my room...

My hand will not get cut if I was locked in the house. Right?

This is just not my day!

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

I was so wrong to say The Dark Knight was the last movie we could see Heath Ledger on silver screen. As I was Youtube-ing (I know it's a sin!), I realized there's an upcoming movie by Heath Ledger, named The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

Due to his tragic death in the middle of the film production, and fortunate enough it is actually an imaginative & fantasy type of movie, the director Terry Gilliam (Director of Twelve Monkeys) transformed the character played by Heath Ledger into one that could physically transformed into different people. Hence, this role, named Tony, will be shared by 4 wonderful actors, Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp ( OMG! ), Jude Law and Colin Farrell.

I am looking forward!

Dolphin Watching at Lovina

Yee Hau made a video compilation of our most exciting experience in Bali. It's a combination of the videos he took, and the photos both of us took. Thanks to the song from Boyzone, and also muting of the video, my excited screams were gone~ :P

Hope you enjoy the video! And believe me, you gotta do this at least once in your life :D

Close Encounters with Animals

Yunnan 2007, my first horse riding

Bangkok 2008, my first hug to tigers

Bali 2009, my first swim and kiss with dolphins

Let's not talk about cats and dogs here, because they are the home pets. I have had several pets before, i.e. dogs, love birds and fishes. Among all of them, I love dogs the most. I dislike cats, but the kitten I met in Yangshuo had got my attention. I let her played with my jacket every night and sat on my lap while I was connecting to the world.

My close encounters with large animals back dated to primary school when we visited the national zoo. I gave the giraffe some leaves, they ate it , and then, they started to lick my hands. I was well aware they could have just licked my face with their super long neck, but I didn't care at all. Back then, we don't have cameras, I didn't manage to capture the moment, but I remembered it.

Snorkelling in Pulau Redang was fantastic! Fishes were roaming beside you like you're just one of them. The silence in the sea, makes you wonder what do the fishes hear everyday. And close encounter with baby sharks were cool. But not as cool as spotting an adult shark swam underneath me!

I volunteered myself in an animal show back in my first visit to Hong Kong Ocean Park. I was supposed to sit there, and let the HUGE GIGANTIC owl flew pass me. She was a bit too big for my taste, but I never regret to be the volunteer. Hah!

Then, my sis and I decided to ride a horse when we're in Yunnan. The first horse riding experience we had, and it was bloody 3 hour long. I had a butt pain! But what's worse, we fell from the horse back! We were lucky we only had scratches. Next time? I bet I'll only do it with a proper saddle!

In 2008, I insisted that we must visit Tiger Temple in Bangkok. Hugging the ever sleeping adult tigers was nothing but scary. I can hear my heart pumping very fast, and I could hear the tiger's heart pumping too. The palms were soft and the fur were warm. 2nd time? Nope! I bet that was a once in a life time experience :P

Just this week, I had the most wonderful encounter with dolphins. We saw them swimming in the sea of Lovina. And we swam with them too in Melka Excelsior. They were very playful that's why things could turn rough at times. But a kiss from dolphins during the play, priceless~ The money and the bruises I have after the swim, worth it :D

So, I was wondering, what's next?
