"A movie is not a movie if it's not shown on a gigantic screen with state-of-the-art surrounding sound effects, " says a movie addict, "it would be like watching a soap opera on a b/w TV in a small living room."

B-Day coming in a few days

I never actually made any wishes for my birthdays before. One of the wishes in the past did not even come true this year. That bubble just bursted.

What I want for my birthday this year is simple, something without a price tag. (Isn't that what i always want every year?)

For some people, it seems that it's more difficult (or unceremonious) to offer things without a price tag. They prefer to give things available in stores. Well, I like those, too, but I love even more those that money cannot buy. Am I being cheesy here?

Anyway... a hot, sexy, cute, loving boyfriend with all the good qualities and some tolerable drawbacks, plus a lifetime guarantee will definitely make it to the top of my birthday wish list.

Body Combat one more time

So my gym laucned the latest Body Combat 38, and I happened to attend the very first class where they started teaching BC38.

Well, the new moves were very simple this time, compared with some of the old ones we did in class for the past few weeks. What's more exhausting was that you had to keep repeating the same kick, or punch, or anything again and again till you go t sore. I even sort of sprained my thigh when doing the side kicks following two knee kicks. I also almost fell down on myself, trying to keep my body balanced while doing the kicks.

I felt bored very quickly by these new moves in the first two classes. However, I didn't feel bored at all in my third class doing BC38 on Sunday morning. As usual, it was taught by the ever-hotter instructor. Since I did BC 38 twice in the previous two days already, I felt really exhausted after the third class.

A hot instructor can turn any boring class into a good one... LOL..


p.s. I didn't have any silly expression on my face this time.

The Egmont Group

Wow, this is the first time I am writing about something serious(or tedious/partisan/provocative/life-threatening?) on my blog.

The Egmont Group is an international anti-money laundering organization, and I am happy to find out that Taiwan is one of their members. (good job). They set up operational Financial Intelligence Units in 108 countries around the world. Of course we've got one in Taipei, too.

It is said that it is this international organization that discovered some irregular money transactions involving the former president of Taiwan, and notified Switzerland. Thus unrolled a series of events... well.. it's kind of boring to talk about this, so this is all I would write about it.

Go find out more about this organization on their website: http://www.egmontgroup.org/

Nice Quote

I just saw this nice quote from somewhere on the Internet. I don't know where it is originally from.

Never explain yourself to anyone.
Because the person who likes you doesn't need it,
and the person who dislikes you won't believe it.


but what about the person who doesn't know you yet ?

heartthrob

Well... I had an exciting and blushing (embarrassing) Sunday.

I almost bumped into the instructor in the morning before the class started.
And in the evening I did weights almost right besides the instructor.
It's not like I'd never done weights in the same gym with the instructor, but it's just the more often these coincidences happen, the more awkward and embarrassed I feel. I am such a loser, with no guts to meet people.

Right when I finished my training and stood up from the machine to leave, the instructor, who happened to be using the machine besides mine, looked at me and nodded a hello to me, and I blushingly nodded back, and, without a word, walked away with a silly expression on my face.

I am so dumb.

Turn Around + Si Demain + Total Eclipse of the Heart Lyrics


...
Et j'ai tant besoin de toi
Et j'ai tant besoin de ta voix
Je veux tomber dans tes bras
Je voudrais marcher dans tes pas
...

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

Happy Birthday

I don't think my sister comes here, but I still want to say a happy birthday to her on my blog.

I truly hope that in the future she won't have to spend her own birthdays, not a single one, by herself besides her computer...

A Jerk Will Never Get Hurt.

But a good man get hurts easily, especially a focused one.

When you say something horrible to a jerk, or when you decide to walk away from a jerk, he will just go find someone else, someone just as interchangeable as you, to spend time with, to do whatever they want together, without treating your criticisms or comments seriously. After some time, when the jerk is tired of the replacement, or several of other replacements, he may try contacting you again. You, on the other hand, have decided to ignore(or pretend to forget?) the bad memories that the jerk have brought you. You decide to talk to him again.

Without any surprise, the jerk hurts you again.. OUCH... he doesn't just hurt you, but even comes up with an explanation of why he hurts you again, a reason that only the jerks of the Jerkland can truly understand, and that hurts the good man even more.

The Punishment

The schizophrenic lier is treated with amicability.

I am schizophrenic, too, but I am left by myself, indulging in the two ends of the continuum, to love and to hate. I am forced to swim back and forth between these two more and more polarized ends. After a few months of training, I can finish one lap within a few seconds. My mind is torn from trying to swim towards both ends at the same time.

I am punished.

People should treat the ones they don't like as lousily as possible.

A Little Bit of Comfort



So I went to see A Little Bit of Comfort (aka. Quantum of Solace) yesterday. The movie was action-packed alright, and it's not related to quantum technology. That's all I can say about the sequel to Casino Royale.

I like Casino Royale better than Quantum of Solace because Casino Royale was more sophisticated and full of suspenses and twists. On the other hand, Quantum of Solace was more like a non-stop fighting movie. Where did the fancy gadgets and cars go in this James Bond movie?

At least there were still some amazing technologies in Casino Royale. Furthermore, Vespa (the woman in Casino Royale) was more intelligent than the woman in Quantum of Solace.

Well... it is still a nice movie for a weekend afternoon.

Heroes: Destiny Webisode

This "Create Your Hero" promo is finally going online soon on November 10.

The guy playing Santiago is hot. The special effect is cool, too. I like it in the trailer when the woman just suddenly became water.

The Contradictory Yes/No

The weatherman tells you it will be sunny tomorrow, but it turns out to be a rainy day, or, even worse, a thunderstorm. The rail company tells you the train will arrive at 9:00, but it usually arrives much later. The doctor tells you the scar will fade in a few weeks, but it seems to get more and more swollen and red.

Water is shapeless and unpredictable.
You see, when the Greek god pours water out of his bucket, the water just splashes everywhere, running through every crack and hole on the ground, changing its shape and size till the gravity can no longer pull it further down.

The only way to tame water is to freeze it, not to heat it, for heating it will only make it even more agitated and wanting to be let loose into the sky. Freeze the water, please, while it is caught in the best container one can find. Make it stable. Make it predictable. Keep it cool.

When the temperature rises, or when the wild spirit frozen deep in the heart of that ice cube of whatever shape can no longer be guarded and secured, let the Greek archer know, please.

The archer will shoot his best arrow right into the cube, breaking it into thousands of pieces, but still keep every single piece of it. He will let them melt in his glass. He will then ask for Winter's help for the archer was born in Winter's arms, and re-freeze the water.

Hopefully, there will be a snowstorm soon, just as what the weatherman says.

Kenting

I had a lot of fun in Kenting last weekend with my company.

We stayed in the best hotel in Kenting and I really enjoyed my stay there. I swam almost everyday in the hotel pool, or just lay by the pool, daydreaming. I also did something adventurous: I went surfing for the first time in my life.

Well.... I didn't actually surf on the waves or anything. I just lay on the surfing board and pedalled with my arms out towards the sea and then towards the land. I repeated this exercise for hours. I also tried standing up, but then I just fell into the water. I was also hit by my board on the head several times. Ouch! It still hurts today.

I also hiked along the last section of the coast in Taiwan without an actual road. We had to cross a hill about 200 meters in height. There were several steep sections where we had to climb on ropes. It was a really good hike. It's a pity that they will construct a road here in a few months, ruining the last bit of the primitive coastal land in Taiwan.
