Movies...

I watched "200 Pounds Beauty" ( A Korean Movie ) last week. The story tells the tale about a large girl that undergoes an extreme makeover to become a pop sensation. It's really funny especially the beginning and the middle part but I thought the ending was a little anti-climax. Love the songs though and the main actor was kind of cool.

However, I think that it is still miles better than a lot of stuff made locally like the one I recently watched "Anak Halal". The Malaysian movie scene really needs improvement. The only ones that I enjoyed were "Sepit", "Gubra" and most of Yasmin Ahmad's movies.

Thankfully our music scene supersedes our movie scene. I sometimes listen to some really good local songs and they are rather awesome........

You Heard it Right, Clubbing !!

Venue :

QEII- SOHO ( Queen Elizabeth II ) the latest hotspot in Georgetown. Last minute decision, we drag ourselves out of the office by 7.40 pm. Had dinner at a local " choo char" place and went straight from there.

Highlights :
Great Venue
Spectacular View
Good crowd. No young "chikus"
Good company

Perfecto !!! Will definately go back. We still have half a bottle of JD there....

My Ipod Nano

Yeah...yeah...yeah I know I have been talking about getting an Ipod Nano since the launch. I finally bought one last Saturday. Hurray....

My little version of a short poem on my tribute to music :

Music Is Life,

Music is Passion,

Music Consumes You,

Without Music Our Lives Would Be Different,

Music Is What Keeps Us Alive......

Jordon & Mama

Jordon and my Mommy

My mom has always adored my son, Jordon. She never refuses me whenever I asked for help to baby sit Jordon whilst I am away or when he is not well. The two of them will meet up for breakfast every Saturday morning at mom's favourite breakfast venue "Wah Keong Restaurant". Jordon will then spend the whole day at Mama's place until I come pick him up in the evening when I reach SP from Penang. This is a routine for me.

Mom, thanks for always helping me remember what is important in life and being there for me all the time.......

De-Stressing Session at Red Box Penang

Me singing my hearts out.......

Friends

Who needs spa, therapy and shrink when you can sing your hearts out..... I remember reading an article once saying that singing is apparently very good for de-stress. It has got something to do with our breathing. Since, then I have always been giving myself an excuse to go to Karaoke he...he...
Yesterday was a very stressfull day for me at work. I spontaneously organised a karaoke session with my friends by skype-ing them late in the afternoon. To my surprised everyone said Yes !!. We were in Reb Box by 9.30 pm singing and entertaining ourselselves. A huge stone lifted of my shoulders after that. Why bother explaining to people my "stressfullness". Who cares after the very therapeutic session.......

Beach Volleyball

Me in action....

Nanthini's department (Human Resources) in the hotel organised Beach Volleyball at Tanjung Bungah Beach area on Tuesday. It was a within hotel friendly match between 8 teams pre-arranged randomly( 3 men & 3 women) and the theme for team names were Disney. My secretary Dottie enrolled me when the memo was first circulated a few weeks ago. I thought what the heck...let's join the fun.
I played quite badly cause the last I played was almost 18 years ( hmm...hmm.. I was the school player when I was in secondary school) . None of my team members could play accept for one guy from Engineering department, Saravanan and me. We lost but we had loads of fun !! I went home in the evening with painfull arms and it was "blue black" all over the very next day. Still is now.... he..he..

Collectible Barbies

My favourite....

Barbie Dolls have been the fascination of little girls and their moms alike from day one they were introduced way back in the 50s. I still remember that I had to share mine with my sis Estee when we were small. Probably, through great marketing and I believe so coming from marketing myself that it played a big role for its success today with its wide range of Collectible Barbies that are available everywhere around the world. For both collectors and enthusiasts, finding new and rare Barbie Dolls is a great passion.

I now feel a little of that passion because I was at Voon Chong and Dennis's place at Ratu Mutiara last night and they showed me their collection of toys displayed in glass cabinets. Of course, my favourite is their "Limited Edition Barbie Dolls". They are so fine and pretty. All still in their original packings, never been unwrapped. I finally understand that Collectible Barbie Dolls have that little something extra outstanding clothing, makeup, elaborate hair, facial expression, remarkable gowns and a variety of themes. Amazing........

We spent several hours taking pictures and editing all their Barbie Doll Collection and Nanthini assisted with this picture.

Baby Olivia Cheong

Baby Olivia Cheong & Me

Sharon ( a good friend of mine) gave birth to Baby Olivia on 27 June 2007. When I first held Olivia in the hospital she sort of looked at me with dreamy eyes and went back to sleep. She is so cute and tiny.......

I still remember 3 weeks back, I was so excited for Sharon when she called me that morning and told me that it was time. I waited anxiously the whole day and finally received a call from proud daddy Stanley that Olivia came to this world at approximately 10.00 pm. Sharon was crying and laughing simultaneously on the phone. I guess it was tears of joy. She told me the ordeal she had to go through....labour pain and my heart went all out for her. Tears rolled out from my eys as well. I knew exactly what she had just gone through.

Congratulations Sharon & Stanley !!!
