Synopsis: Burdened by responsibility and trapped by routine, Shrek has lost his roar. In order to recapture his past as a ‘real’ ogre, Shrek is tricked into striking a bargain with Rumpelstiltskin, trading a day from his life as part of the deal. But the fine print of the contract lands him in an alternate universe…where he’s feared, all right, but he’s also never rescued Fiona or met Donkey, Puss in Boots, Gingy and all his fairytale friends. Now, to get back to reality and his family, he has to find Fiona and defeat the devious Rumpelstiltskin—before the deal expires.
was feeling very sour when I got there that omy.sg gave me a seats thats SO NEAR the front (4th row from the front) and I was bitching to B that I think im going to puke after the show (gah! 3D movie makes me giddy at times)... but emm.. no leh.. the one at Cathay was fine.. haha!
okay... movie wasnt too bad... but its not the typical Shrek movie (if you get wat i mean?)... i mean it was funny la... but then again quite different from 1 and 2... but the take-away from the movie is far more than I expected...
we all knew it... but then to forget... and most of the time we forget...
"We never know what we have until we lose it..."
I mean seriously... we things like "ahya.. happen le.. also cannot do anything abt it le right?"... "whats the point of cry now? not like you can change the price of pork..."
but then again... we STILL take things for granted... take alot of things for granted... oh well (im guilty of that too)...
I think we have also heard enough of ppl saying "treasure wat you have before you lose it.."... "live the moment..." blah blah blah...
listen le also sian.. cox its something we know.. yet when it happens... we are still at a loss.... wtf...
its just going to be a vicious cycle la.. i donno... how to jump out of it huh? when will we ever really really cherish what we have and realli realli remind ourselves not to take things for granted?
for me? I guess its never too late to turn back to mend the broken if you still can afford to do it...

wats up with companies now using kids to go door to door... "err... can you donate?" and then proceed to pass us a badly laminated piece of paper that they are authorised by the company to collect donations....
emmm... okay... at the letter i read just now was not asking for "donations" but seeking funds to support a project... (cox to collect donations... you need letter from the relevant ministry ma... so ya.. they decided not to ask for "donations")... oh ya... cox the website was on the verge of closing down or something la... then they need funds to keep it in operation...
so this kid asked me to donate to www . blahblahblah. sg.. yeah.. a website... telling me that this webby is for students to use... and i vaguely remember him telling me its for poor kids? so i probe further and he told me ya... service provided free for the kids...
so the weird things was... it was this XYZ company that "hired" these kids to help the webby seek funds... okay.. naturally... i wanted to know like who own that webby right? cox if its XYZ that owns it.. then why should i donate since XYZ is a profit company... but then the kid couldnt tell me who owns that webby...
so another kid came along... i asked and he too couldnt tell him...
i think i stood there and "talked" to them for a good 15 mins.. trying to figure out who i actually "donating" to... oh okay... i forgot.. they were selling towels to help fund this "project"... err.. okay.. i donno wats the link la... its like you "donate" then you get a towel... fishy right??? hahahaha! (i bet the kids get a commission for it...)
so i told them to go get their facts right (haha! evil me... my mum say i sounded fierce) before asking ANYONE for "donations"... cox no one (shit... i assumed that everyone is so niaow like me.. ask this and that and still not "donate") will donate blindly... okay i might be wrong on that... and the kids left...
well... my point is simply.. i know these kids needs some money (holiday now maaa..) but there are better ways to earn those extra pocket money... i rather you sell ice-cream (yeah.. my mum will buy though she knows its sometime marked-up) or be sales promoter... at the end of the day.. know what you are selling before you sell it...
so they left and i went online to check... hurray! that "project" was a "project" by xyz company... emm... oh.. it was written that its an "initiative by xyz company"... ya balls... wanna do something and got no money? website shutting down cox of financial difficulties? err.. well.. the website does look damn updated and christmasy with advertising ads on the side bars... emm... financial difficulty? helping kids who cant afford tuition? really?
i dont donate freely. haha! im sorry.

Its been a long while since I updated my blog.
School has been exciting and tiring since the term started. gah. half way through and yes. I am still surviving. haha!
Sometimes I am amazed by the strength I get to get things done. Surfice to say it might not be the best but at least I know I tried my best. The midterm break that just ended was simply crazy.
Project meeting on mon-wed. Not forgetting tuition has to be packed from mon-wed too cox I would be busy with the F1 race from thur to sun. 1 term report. 1 project presentation. 1 midterm paper. working from 1pm to 1am daily from thurs to sun is no joke. reached home at 2am, found some time to do some readings, slept at 3 and work up at 9 to do more readings before heading for work. Thank God for the strength.
Work has been a challenge. It feels like being back to my NS days. As much I tried to make everyone happy, I see black faces. I understand. The chain of command is terrible and often confused with miscommunication.
Just to share an incident with everyone. No names will be named.
Was doing my rounds and one of my guys (lets call him A) asked me, "eh.. just now you told me ____ but xxx told me ____" and I replied, "you sure? I wasnt told about that piece of information." he replied, "ya la! you dont believe you go ask him, xxx just spoke to me 5 minutes ago."
From A's face, I could read a thousand and one message. He is totally upset and thinks I donno my stuff well. (I know how it feels when one feel that his supervisor knows shit abt things.. been there done that) To a point, he gave me an impression that he has lost all respect for me as his supervisor. Granted. I went to check with xxx wrt the message disseminated and realised that A had misunderstood xxx's instructions. I went back, cleared the mess up with A and moved on.
shit happens all the time but its fine with me. but what upsets me most is A's attitude. Dont bull around with me if you dont get your facts right in the first place ya? That doesnt go down well with me. But thank God for a big ego. haha! that didnt crush me.
many a times, we are quick to judge, quick to sterotype others. I myself am guilty of that. I dont think there is anything wrong with that but just bare in mind not to let your comments hurt a potentially innocent party. no one is perfect la... cliche as it might sound.. but its true...
I know my limits and I know what I can do for my guys. At the end of the day... all I wanna do is to bring the best out of everyone...everyone has strength and weakness... but focusing too much on the negative is no good la... makes the world a dull place to live in...
Close one eye, close two eyes. If everyone is happy and the job is well done, Im fine with it.
Time to have my lunch before heading to school =)
