Soup?

I had the weirdest lunch today: Chicken Soup Macaroni


An order unintended. It stated "Chicken Ball Macaroni" with a picture that did not look like it came in soup at all. Come on, Macaroni is soup?!

A little too short.

_

Dear Eunice,

It’s been 5 years. I know this is going to sound cliché and it always does, but it doesn’t seem like too long ago that you left. A lot has change, yet time seem to have passed so little. I’ll be honest; I’m starting to forget the way you were; the goofiness, the clumsiness, how you talked, how you laughed, how sarcastic and serious you can get at the same time. The time we got to really know each other was so short, that I guess there’s really no one to blame.

I don’t ever want to lose reminiscence of you, Eunice, I really don’t. But everything is just so faint now.

Yet, I’m thankful that at the very least, I got a chance to know you, who I believe till this day was almost the perfect paradigm of someone anyone would have loved and gotten love in return. Admirable and honorable, beautiful on the inside and out and always so humble and selfless putting yourself last before anyone and your family and that you were everyone’s friend in need and a friend indeed.

Peculiarly, there was no fault with you. You were supernaturally a God-sent, an angel on earth. That’s the only honest description of you that I can come up with. You would have laughed so loud (in vanity) with an ego that would have blocked out the sun by now. Oh, I can already reenact those certain parts of memories in my head now. But it’s always just in pieces, never complete.

I wish God hadn’t taken you away, there’s no doubt in that.

Oh Eunice, if only you can see your little sister now. How much she has grown, you’ll definitely be proud of her that she’s no more the girl that hides under your shadow. Abel’s so big now and Brice is fat. I wonder what you have to say after all these years. About me, about Philip, about Waikit, about all of us. It’s odd that after all that I told my parents about, you never really met them huh? Weird. Oh btw, I have braces now! At the tender age of 22 haha! You’d pick on me forever for that.

You know, the only memories left of you are mostly just in pictures unfortunately. But I know putting you on my blog would make you really happy, not to mention proud.


 Oh, I remember that period pretty clear, you were hitting on me! haha!

Always smiling even with those braces on...



These were probably one of the latest pictures of  you:



PS: You're lucky i didn't post the bad pictures of you and I still got your letters and cards from standard six, I think, it’s my drawer somewhere. But I know I kept it.

PPS: We miss you.

Worth your 6 minutes.

This is for everyone who is or not a pet lover out there. A short documentary about a dog's last minute struggle with cancer and its owner. Heartfelt and deeply moving.

The Switch Preview Screening with Advertlets

_

We’ve all seen our share of dreary, predictable romantic-comedy movies lately and it would make you to believe that anything categorize under the genre would inevitably just suck.

However, ‘The Switch’ was surprisingly very likable. Jennifer Aniston was perfect for the role as Kassie, someone who decided to have a baby via a sperm donor and Jason Bateman played Kassie’s best friend, Wally who ends up being the father of her child.


Sebastian is super adorably cuuttee!

There’s an interesting, sweet story in there, especially the relationship between Wally and Sebastian (Kassie’s child). Their touching on-screen bond between them emits itself pleasantly, was easy to absorb and was what I believe to be the cornerstone that carried the film through.

Not forgetting Jeff Goldblum and Juliette Lewis who were viable sidekicks to the two leads, supported the film sturdily with their witty characters, who were funny but thankfully did not feel like they were trying to be.

But here’s the real switch, this wasn’t a Jennifer Aniston movie, nor a romantic comedy per se, but simply a story about a man and that worked well.

The Other Guys Preview Screening by Sony Pictures and Advertlets

_

Movie Screening Details with Advertlets
DATE : 12 October 2010 (Tuesday)
TIME : 8.00PM
VENUE : GSC Mid Valley ( Hall 2 – 186 Seats )

Blogging Contest to win tickets!
186 movie tickets are up for Grabs! Not to forget, you might be the lucky one to win back “The Other Guys” prizes for the blogging contest. Blogging contest closes on the 10th October 2010.

Mechanics:
i) Tell us how you’ll stand out by being THE OTHER GUYS.
Being "the other guys", there isn't a sure-proof way of standing out from the huge shadows of those highly admirable cops Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson, not to mention they probably trump you in every other aspect you think you're capable of doing. Thus, we'll have to play dirty. And I mean, play coy and "friends" with them, spy and follow them, then lastly sabotaging them at their jobs (the thing they do best).

Pretend by helping them wrap up a case, then use typical hollywood-style trickery, spiking their drinks and locking them up in a room for a few days before claiming that important case as yours. Sure, this would only last for awhile, but without them in the way, you're free to take in all the glory, credits (and girls), and this way, you'll definitely stand out!

ii) Being THE OTHER GUYS (outcasts) have its own advantages… Tell us why!
You're off the radar. People expect nothing from you, although it might look like a disadvantage, it gives you time and privacy to plan, brainstorm and come up with new ideas and something better that no one has probably thought about yet without the risk of unwanted eyes trying to follow or steal your ideas. You're low key, till your time to shine!

This example can very well be implemented in Steve Job's case before the iPod, with Microsoft's huge shadows out casting Mac from the computing world. But this led to innovation in Apple's case where suddenly, they took the world by storm, all because they were first outcasts.
