是我在看Transformers的时候吃的爆米花 (popcorn).
哈哈！看起来象怪物吧？

Transformers真的很精彩。虽然小时候就有这部卡通片，但是好像男生比较喜欢，所以我对它的故事不是很了解。看了电影才知道原来机械人是有感情的。其中老大Optimus Prime最有性格。


看完电影之后，在路上开车时，开始幻想，如果我前面的垃圾车，突然变身成为金刚，那多酷啊！

很喜欢最近的天气，不会太热，也不会太湿，让我很想捧着一本书，还有我最喜欢的咖啡，躲在一角，让人找不到。多自由！不过现在喝着自己泡的咖啡，和大家分享心声也是很大的享受。因为你们愿意听，所以我愿意写。真的很珍惜你们对我的关心和爱护。读到你们在tagboard留的话，真的让我很感动。可能因为成长的环境吧，我很少听到周围长辈对我说这样的话。久而久之就不再有期待，因为没有期待就不会失望嘛。不过如果让我意想不到，那就是bonus 啦！所以你们是我的惊喜，我的bonus!　谢谢，真的很爱你们！

我想唯一能报答你们的就是努力把工作做好，把自己最好的一面呈现给大家。你们为我加油，我也会发愤图强，不辜负大家！

有人问我除了咖啡还喜欢和什么饮料。我好像都喜欢刺激性的饮料，好像Teh-Si（奶茶），酸梅汁。偶尔也喜欢凉茶，果汁之类的饮料。不过我们公司餐厅的果汁档发明了果汁加Yakult，还真的蛮好喝的。其实在外面我很少叫饮料，可能拍戏累，喜欢喝自然水，滋润全身，也不会因为某种饮料遗留后的口感感到不舒服。况且，你们这么多人常嘱咐我多喝水，我怎么可以当耳边风呢？

好啦，咖啡喝完了，我也得去忙些别的，下次再聊吧！
希望大家有个美好的星期天。

看了是不是会流口水？我现在自己看了都很想再吃。从来没有吃过又便宜又好吃的韩国拉面。就在Central Mall 的食阁。很多地方的Kimchi Ramen 看起来很辣，不过都淡淡没有味。不过这个真的不一样，可以算辣，不过我最爱吃辣辣的东西，所以还可以应付。而且很喜欢吃快熟面，你们说象不象呢？



Finally get down to watching this movie. I used to adore Jude Law, but that was when he acted with Nicole Kidman in Blue Mountain. In Alfie, he seemed like he's playing himself, the playboy. His brownie points has just effectively dropped to zero.

In the final scene, he said he has everything, but no peace of mind. And when you don't have that, you don't have anything.

Hmm...interesting.

Well, the story goes he just can't stick to one woman, call it commitment phobia, call it fleeting desires, the point is, the women give their all to him but gets nothing back, and he doesn't feel bad about dumping them, or being dumped for that matter, until the end, when it bites back at him. Ah, that's when he left the audience with that quote to think about.

Which reminded me of this article I read in a recent fashion magazine. There was a paragraph that mentioned how there are young successful divorcés who would date around post divorce. If they married young, they are doing so to make up for lost time; If they were dumped by their wives, they are doing so to boost their own ego. But after playing musical chairs, most of them would want to settle down, because nothing beats having someone to look after them, cook for them and be there for them at the end of the day.

Hmm, I guess that's what Alfie is about too.

Some women think that's so chauvinistic. In this egalitarian society, I guess, women are more empowered, and no longer need to take things lying down. But my stand is still quite traditional. I seriously don't mind cooking and looking after the family while the man brings the bacon home, because that's what I think a woman should and is capable of doing.

Now before all the ladies turn against me, this is purely the way I was brought up to think. So don't hold it against me. Some values cannot change after so long. Still, I don't particularly advocate being a housewife too, because homemakers also need to have their own hobbies, passion, or work, to keep them motivated, energised and youthful.

So how different are the wants of men and women?

I was having dinner with a girlfriend and she told me how she is facing quarter-life crisis. I don't know what that really means (I guess it's not something everyone goes through and even if we do, it turns out differently). Hers is an empty sort of feeling, of not knowing what you are really pursuing that will complete your life.

I suggested that she probably needs a man. She denies.
Then maybe it's romantic love she wants. She denies.

Gee, women are always in self-denial. Haha, it's true! I admit to that sometimes. Hee hee...

She says she doesn't want to have a serious relationship.
She says it's tiring to get to know someone all over again.

True, but isn't the lack of stability that's really tiring? I mean, when you date around as opposed to having a serious relationship. And you keep having to introduce yourself to many people instead of spending time getting to know someone better. At the end of the name game, you realise you don't really know anyone well, and they don't really know you. Sort of like Alfie, who is rich on the outside but poor emotionally.

You see, I figure the entire universe consists of relationships so how can we human beings not need relationships? Sure, we have friendship and family companionship, who needs love? I beg to differ. I think different forms of relationships satisfy different aspects of our lives. And romantic love is one big concept that plays a huge part in our lives.

Otherwise, why would people like me be so hooked on to melodramatic Korean love stories? Why would people commit crimes and do silly things when love goes wrong? Why is BGR such a big issue in schools and at home?

Because when you love and be loved, nothing else matters.





平时咖啡对我没什么困扰，晚上喝了还是能够入睡。不过这是我今天的第三杯，所以现在清醒的很。糟了！


天啊，我真的太久没有踏进新达城（Suntec City）竟然有那么多改变。我太孤陋寡闻了！刚才和朋友吃完饭后，决定去走一走，消化晚餐，没想到，我们两就好像旅客一样，对整个环境有点陌生。有扩大商店的范围是好事，因为目的是要让购物者有更多选择。新达城的某个角落也增设了一个室内音乐水池，和灯光的配合下，还蛮有外国情调的。当时正播着　"What A Wonderful World"，真的好象在另一个世界闲逛。虽然店都关了，但是清静也是一种享受。

I think this car is cute! I'd probably want to drive it for fun, but I doubt it's practical for me because I have far too many things to store. But then again, the advice I got the last time I bought my current car was that a small car may have less space, but that will prevent me from over-cluttering it.

True true.

I used to like driving performance cars because I actually enjoy driving and with a good car, you really appreciate what it can do. Couple of years back, I went for a BMW advanced driving course, that taught things like proper driving posture, defensive driving, over-steering, under-steering etc etc. It was only at the race course in Malaysia, that I could ram the accelerator of the BMW 330i without worrying about crashing or getting caught. The 330i is a very stable car and the way it hugs the road when you corner makes it all the more exciting to go fast. Ok, I admit, speeding is thrilling and I love it! Moreover, that sense of thrill can't be replicated anywhere else. Hmm, then again, I take it back. Maybe on deathly roller coasters too, because I remembered that feeling the last time I went to Cape Town and attempted "suicide". But that's another story for another time.

The thing is, sitting on a roller coaster, you're not in control, unlike driving. That's why it's adrenalin rush from fear versus adrenalin rush from excitement. I'd choose the latter. Let me reaffirm my stand, I enjoy the drive very much, but I do not advocating speeding.

Now for me, practicality overrides desire, that's why I sold my dear Alfie and switched to something more economical. I still want to test performance cars if I'm privileged enough to be invited, but in the meantime, I'm perfectly happy with what I have.

Recently I'm into J-pop and K-drama. Ok, maybe I'm a bit slow, considering the fever is sort of dying down, hmm, or is it still going on? Well I'm not so sure anymore, maybe cos' I've been too out of touch with the latest trends. Whatever it is, I didn't used to understand all that craze over J-pop or J-fashion, but guess what, I bought Namie Amuro's new album and absolutely loved it. She's been around for a long time, but somehow her style never struck a chord with me, until today.


Her music sort of has a big band feel to it, especially "Hide and Seek" which has the sounds of trumpets and drums. Never mind I don't understand Japanese, I'm equally drawn into the tune and rhythm. That's why they say music transcends all boundaries.

If you ask me what sort of music I listen to, I can't name you a specific genre, because my taste changes depending on my mood. For a while I was into New Age stuff, like Tony O' Connor (sounds of rainforest, sea waves etc), then I liked jazz (Michael Buble, Rod Stewart), then classical fusion (Bond, Maksim), then french music, (Janet Siddel) then one genre I'm not so sure what it's called but I shall just name it contemporary (High Society, Pink Martini), then lounge music, then "tango-like" music, and now, any sort of music that has a unique twang to it. That's why I love JJ's new song 《杀手》because I love the sounds of the gu-zheng and guitar mix, as well as one of his other songs that has er hu accompaniment. It's surprisingly refreshing !

I'm totally for fusion, because it's creative and the combinations are countless.

那天拍戏的花瓣被我哥故意弄残，结果我赶快在他踩坏之前，先拍张照。嘿嘿，自从有了这个造型后，终于可以做回女人，扮美美。有些人说很怪，不过希望习惯就成自然啦！
真要感谢上头给我的机会，参与这个大制作，还让我尝试换造型。我一定会好好努力的！大家为我加油ok?

我自从考到驾照后，发生过三次意外。不过都不是特别严重，只是亏了钱财。现在这辆车里有两个守护使者。这个是躺在前面的PJ，是我的宝贝。他很可爱吧！

改天拍了后面的“虎儿”再给你们看。那是我背后的靠山，威猛地看住后面的车子。嘿嘿！

今天是《黄金路》的开镜仪式。不是每一部戏都有，很多时候跟监制的宗教信仰有关。不过《黄金路》是一部重头剧，所以就少不了讨个吉利，希望接下来的五个月里，拍摄会顺利，收视率会标榜。

对不起宝贝们，最近在忙一些琐碎的事，所以没有消息。•oops•
那天我们《宝贝父女兵》的烧烤会，顺便庆祝两个副助导的生日。。。我就忙着拍照。

这是我几年前去旅行时拍的。当时很喜欢海边，很喜欢晒太阳，觉得古铜色的皮肤很健康。现在当然是见到太阳能避就避，因为太多紫外线对皮肤真的不好。现在年轻还看不到，以后老了，就会知道它造成的伤害有多大。
或许你们看不出，我其实对海有恐惧。今天去上潜水课，在泳池学时有点怕怕，好像不太会应付。虽然过后熟悉了就觉得还蛮好玩，但是毕竟我们将会在出海拍这场戏，所以还是有点怕。

为什么我会怕海呢？

说出来可能会觉得好笑。不要以为是因为怕沙鱼。虽然以前我好喜欢看Jaws的电影。

我曾经被Jelly fish刺过。那个时候还蛮小的，和父母到海边去玩，我一点都不怕海，还游得很开心。不过我在水底时，隐约看见了个半透明的物体在我面前漂过。我当时没有多想，不过上了岸，去冲凉的时候，就开始觉得痛痒。一段时期后，也是年幼的期间，有大人警告我不要赤脚往海里跑，如果有King Crab， 会咬死我。因为刚好有人抓了只King Crab 所以我就真的害怕了。

长大后，本来更不会被大人的故事吓着，虽然如此，不过谁知道我竟然对无望无际的大海更有种畏惧。当时是自己背包旅行，去了南非。我租了一辆车，从Cape Town 驾到Cape Point （整个非洲的最南部）在上面的灯塔，看见了Atlantic Ocean 和Indian Ocean 的交集点，海和天的界限是一片模糊。宇宙就在我眼前。


我还记得，第一天去，下很大的雨，我爬到灯塔上，什么都看不到。我不甘心，隔天又花了一整天开车回到Cape Point，终于让我看到了。当时的心情非笔墨所能形容。觉得我们人是这么的渺小。在大自然的规律中，我们真的是经不起侵袭的。我就想如果有一天我掉进眼前的海里，根本就是死路一条。没有人会听见我的呼唤，也没有人会注意我的存在。

就这样，我对海产生了畏惧。一直到现在，仍无法把在Cape Point 的体会抛开。
