Life of Pi

I'm not a good movie critic and i'm certainly not good at deciphering hidden messages in movies. 

I'm satisfied if i'm happy walking in and feeling the same when i walk out. This is how i felt when i walk out of the cinema last night after having seen Life of Pi.



This movie is definitely a must see for this Christmas. It's probably a deep-enough story for those who loves philosophy and a simple entertaining enough story for those like me who can't read deeper meanings that comes with.

I'm very tempted to give another go at the book, although i've heard that it's not an easy read. I am amazed how Ang Lee managed to turn such an abstractly-written story into something that most of us can relate to and understand.

Next movie on the list - THE HOBBITS!!!

All I want for Christmas...

It's the time of the year where you can buy yourself presentSSSS with legitimate reasons again!!!

I've made a list of what i want for this Christmas- 

  1. TRX Suspension Training Home Kit
  2. Thigh-high 4-inch heel boots or more shoes in general! LOL
  3. Ipad 3
  4. Samsung Note II
  5. New wallet
  6. More gym stuff from lululemon
I feel so greedy now...in general i just need a BIG bonus to get everything!!

But i need to get real...can't afford them :( so I've made another list of things that are priceless)

  1. Good health
  2. Get toned
  3. More time with friends & family
  4. More "me" time 
  5. Run more
  6. Be as happy as possible!
Still feeling greedy LOL...i'll save the rest for next Christmas :D



Fat Christmas

I had my first Xmas celebrate with the office last friday and we did secret santa like always - look what i've got. 



It's a bag FULL of mini peanut M&Ms!!!! How much exercise would i have to do to burn all those M&Ms off?! 

And you see, there's only one opening in the bag, so it means its only for my hand to go in and it's NOT meant to be for sharing LOL


Sad news though - My boss announced in the afternoon that 99.9% that he'll be leaving the company and his last day will be 31st Jan, that is all because that we don't have enough jobs/projections for next year...

To be honest, it worries me. First thing is that he's probably the best boss i've ever worked for, so easy going, hands on with his admin duties, understanding and he takes care of my career. 

Second, he's probably the only person who is freed up to do business development, if he's gone, who the hack is going to find more jobs for us?! Soo ironic...

Let's hope we can land some jobs between now and Jan so that he could stay for bit longer :(

Fingers crossed.


Options

I saw a bunch of moms and possibly grandma's on my way to work this morning, it gets me thinking about "Options".

I've always loathe having TOO much options, whether from restaurant menus or picking up presents. With so much options, i'm spending way too much time to decide whether to have A or B or C or D, cos they possibly generate different level of satisfaction.

You see, i'm always seeing myself at the receiving end of having options and loathing it, but having seen those moms and grandmas today...I fuddenly felt an overwhelming respect for those who provides options for others.

Well my train of thoughts goes somewhat like this - 

1. Seeing soccer moms waving goodbyes to their kids on the schoolbus the moment they got on and until the bus is out of site.
2. Imaging what if when i'm a mom?!
3. IF i become a mom, how good a mom could i possibly be?


there's 4, 5, 6, 7 and on and on but that's not important

Parenting is difficult as it is and there are a lot of times in the past where I wonder how come my mom can't offer me this or that so that I could've become someone exceptionally intelligent or super successful.

That makes me realise how much "options" parents have to give their kids. I'm incline to be a parent (if i'll ever be one that is) who let their child (or children) to choose whoever they want to be or whatever is that they want to do, but in order to do that - you need to give them the means to do it.

They want to become a ballerina - you gotta pay for the lessons
They want to become a professor - you gotta pay for the education
They want to become an athletic - you gotta get them to the training sessions
They want to become a responsible citizen - you gotta teach them how society works and what's right and wrong (or if they're old enough - there is no right or wrong)
And IF they want to become a hobo - you gotta make sure they're persuasive/ charismatic enough so that they'll be taken care of by other people.

From now on - I'll not loathe for being given so much options. I'm gonna appreciate every options that i'm given. OK maybe not with what lunch i'm gonna have today but everything else then! LOL
