johnny depp to the rescue!!

according to the news,
nicholas cage has been facing financial troubles
because of his manager.
to the extent that he has to sell his properties to raise money
to pay off his debts.
and apparently its still not enough.

BUT
johnny depp is coming to the rescue!
apparently, back then nicholas cage helped johnny depp
by introducing him to his current manager,
who then helped him develop his very successful career.
thus depp wants to repay the favour,
by being willing to OFFER nicholas cage CASH 
to bail him out.
0.o

if the above is true, i can only say,
its going to enhance depp's reputation and gain him more fans.
but i don't deny i myself went 'awwwwww..... so nice!'
=)

i just saw a blue and green bird land outside my window
at 3.30am.

because i've NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE
im very sure im not dreaming.
weird.

Are you suffering from Facebook Addiction Disorder?

Got to know this recently. quite interesting. 

Due to the immense popularity of Facebook and it turning into an online social medium,
experts have coined this new term 'Facebook Addiction Disorder' to describe those who are addicted to FaceBook. It falls under the broad category of Internet Disorder.


To be diagnosed as having Facebook Addiction Disorder, a person must meet certain criteria.
At least 2 or 3 of the following 6 criteria must be present at any time during a 6-8 months period:

1. The first thing is tolerance. 
This refers to the need for increasing amounts of time on Facebook to achieve satisfaction and/or significantly diminished effect with continued use of the same amount of time. They often have multiple Facebook windows opened at any one time. 3 is usually a sign and over 5 you're helpless.

2. After reduction of Facebook use or cessation, it causes distress or impairs social, personal or occupational functioning such as wondering why your Vista is so fast and improved etc. These include anxiety; obsessive thinking about what is written on your wall on Facebook etc.

3. Important social or recreational activities are greatly reduced and or migrated to Facebook. Instead of sending an email you post a message on your friend’s page about canceling a lunch appointment. You now stop answering your phone call from your Mom and insist she should contact you through Facebook chat.

4. This is getting serious if you start kissing your girlfriend's home page or a VRML virtual walk through a park is your idea of a date.

5. Your bookmark takes 20 minutes just to scroll from top to bottom or 8 of 10 people in your friend's list you have no idea of who they are.

6. When you meet people you start introducing yourself by following "see you in Facebook" or your dog has its own Facebook profile. You invite anyone you've met and any notifications, messages and invites reward you with an unpredictable high, much like gambling.

inter-connectivity

my horoscope today says that
as my emotional health improves
my physcial health would follow.
because both are interconnected.

my stress level and my stomach tantrums.

and plot a graph.

story of a Boy and a Girl

heard this story over Yes 933 FM that day
its a love story.
a very very sad love story =(
here goes:

there was a Boy and a Girl
both of them met each other when they were still students
and both of them liked each other. immensely. 
but Boy was too timid to profess his love for her.
for many many years, he just hid at a corner watching her. 
caring for her silently. 
Girl was waiting for Boy.
and she waited for many many years. 
just for that 1 sentence from Boy, and she's his. 
but the story didn't end like this. 
Boy kept his feelings to himself
and Girl met someone else, 
whom she got married to. 
Boy lost hope, and just gave Girl his blessings. 
but a few years later, Girl got divorced from her unhappy marriage. 
Boy got to know about it, and decided to muster his courage and profess to her. 
having tasted the sense of loss once, he did not want to lose Girl again. 
so he bought flowers and went to her office one day.
Girl was on the phone, so he waited quietly behind her. 
as long as Girl turned around, he would profess.

but he heard this, 
" i have already done the booking for you dear. don't miss it!"
Boy was crestfallen, for he did not know of Girl's new love interest. 
Dejected, he turned to leave. 
and bumped into another girl. 
this girl had been his admirer for as long as he had been loving Girl. 
she saw the flowers in his hand, and said,
"are those for me?"
Boy, not wanting to waste the flowers, gave them to this Girl instead.
and they got together thereafter. 
things progressed and soon he proposed. 


one day, Boy bumped into Girl. 
Girl asked," why didn't you approach me that night?"
Boy was shocked. he did not know that Girl was aware of his presence. 
so he answered,"i overheard you on the phone and did  not want to disturb your conversation with your boyfriend."
Girl was shocked. 
she did not have a boyfriend. 
the 'dear' that she called, was her superior.
who is a very good friend of hers and the name 'dear',
was a nickname that she used fondly on him. 
calling him 'dear' was out of habit. 
Girl was still waiting for Boy to take initiative.  
and so, because Boy jumped to conclusions too eagerly,
because Boy was too afraid to profess, 
because Girl did not take the initiative to ask,
they missed each other.
for life. 


its quite sad when i first heard it over the radio.
somehow chong qing made it really sad.
(though i think ling zhi would be better >.<) 
but i think both Boy and Girl are stupid.
wait here and there.
whats e point.
but then sometimes we have to agree,
that life is like that.

movie marathon!

had a bad start in e morning today.
was rushing for work at Kumon...
and when i reached bishan mrt,
at BreadTalk there,
my slippers broke.
and i was stranded there, because early morning at 9.45am
none of the shops in Junction 8 was opened.
i was soooo prepared to go Charles & Keith
and just buy 1 pair of sandals or slippers
DESPITE their sky high price that does not justify their quality
and NO it wasn't open.
and SO, i walked back home
BAREFOOTED
from breadtalk there all the way home
quite an experience if u ask me
but definitely not enjoyable since i was rushing for work
=(

but i caught 2 movies today!
please don't come ask me why.

My Sister's Keeper


 its quite a disappointment
cause i read the book.
the ending is totally different.
i went 'HUH?!' and 0.o
the feel is different.
when reading the book, i felt such INTENSE DISLIKE for the mother
because i felt she's the one causing all the misery in the family
albeit her good intentions.
sometimes, letting go is the only way to move on
because she cant accept the fact,
because she cant let go,
she brought such misery upon her family and others.
resulting in them having to resort to such extreme means to get the message across.

but i admit that Cameron Diaz did a rather good job
in playing the role of the mother
its very emotionally challenging
to be so drastic all the time.

i was like totally angry and tensed up and agitated while reading the book
the twist at the end of the book left a lingering taste after i finished it
all the 'huh how come this happened' feel
still unable to get over the twist.

strong emotions,
that the movie didn't evoke.

500 Days of Summer 


heard pretty good comments and reviews about it
so i went in with high expectations
too high i think.
cause i was disappointed too.
at the ending i was like -_-"

but i like the male lead!
he's kinda nerdy and scholarly with a tinge of shyness
so cute!

but i like the concept of the movie
this is not a love story.
its a story about love.
that sometimes for love,
no matter how much you give,
how much you love,
it will not be requitted.
Like the female lead, Summer.
she does not believe in love.
she does not want to get into a relationship.
but she got married happily in e end.
it just goes to show that sometimes,
it just takes the right person.
one can sacrifice and give all one has to give,
but can still lose the loved one to another who does not put in that much effort.
there's no explanation.
perhaps this would give some people out there hope,
but at the same time,
it would also create doubts in some.

-love-

acer laptop sucks

i just changed to my new Acer laptop
Acer Aspire 4935G
but then its starting to give me problems.
and i think it sucks compared to Fujitsu
Fujitsu is such a good brand man.
i love my old and small white Fujitsu laptop.
its still functioning well
unlike the acer one
this is how my laptop looks like

supposed to be a very good laptop for viewing movies and shows
with what surround theatre system
its even called Dolby Home Theatre
and then the home theatre advertisement would pop out and start playing by itself
(i haven't figure out how to get rid of it yet)
but then, the keys to adjust the media player and volume IS NOT SENSITIVE
the touchpad is NOT SENSITIVE
(comparing it with my Fujitsu where i use the touchpad even better than e mouse)
it cannot open my Facebook applications
somehow the applications bar became at the top and at the side
yesterday msn was working fine
i shut e laptop down n today when i came back i cant sign in to msn
giving me different error codes each time i restart the computer
one fine day i just ran a virus scan
the scan went fine.
but then, i cannot remove all the tracking cookies, virus etc from the computer
what use is the scan, if u cant remove the unwanted stuff afterwards
and in e process of doing so, the computer hangs -_-"
WHAT THE HELL.
is it me or is it the stupid laptop.

the devil wears prada

its a damn damn damn old movie
came out when i was in j2 i think
which was like 2 years ago
somehow, i just finished watching it AGAIN
despite knowing that i have tons of tasks to do
need to finish up my ove stuff
catch up on my hw
plan out how to teach my tutee
and organise my life >.<

somehow, it seems that e busier i get
the higher the tendency for me to want to slack
and avoid completing my tasks

the devil wears prada is very nice
-know what you yourself want
and the rest doesn't matter
even if it matters to the rest of the world-
