gangster squad . random thots

so ytd, a fren & i managed to catch d movie "Gangster Squad" all tks to my generous colleagues & team manager =) plot's rather predictable w/ an occasional or sporadic amount of humour injected but overall it's certainly enjoyable & worth d time.

-------

it appears that many french millionaires r obtaining belgium, swiss or russian citizenships so as to evade d exorbitant 75% tax. some even go as far as making sure not to stay longer than 5 mths lol. interesting..

unemployment rate in d eurozone hit 11.8% in nov 2012. meaning abt 19 million ppl do not have jobs, excluding greece. i wonder y there r guys out there in my country who r complaining abt d low wage rate for middle-lower class singaporean employees(SGD $1,800 & under). i dun suppose anyone would wish to be retrenched for d sake of their colleagues receiving a pay increment uh? 

& d salary disparity between d rich & poor isn't juz a local thinggy but rather, a global issue. Singapore has actually tackled this quite efficiently & its success will continue to augment as d end of this decade unfolds into 2020. if one really thinks he deserves a higher pay, then juz prove it meritocratically imo.

y does china even bother engaging in a dozen land disputes w/ a variety of countries like japan & malaysia etc? isn't it quite lame considering she's already got such a huge land mass? y dun they juz give it up & focus on improving their poorer provinces into world-class cities like beijing & shanghai? oh well i guess dat's a detriment dat they'll have to work round on their own. 

Beijing Shanghai

lovely sights to behold of a hypersonic expansion of a nation-education, infrastructure, economy & security.

it has become so strained it is utterly intolerable for me. she throws tantrums like a child, banging doors frequently & such, starting up speeches w/ "u never attend so&so rite?", "u late for this/that rite?" etc. zero knowledge on how to interact w/ her own son. yet she expects me to talk to her, much less share thots & ideals of mine w/ her? what the fuck? i've given her a billion chances of enduring her many stupid acts, given her a million hints on how i wouldn't mind opening up emotionally or communicating better if she would stop being such a dense log. since she refuses to listen to any of mine, then it's better dat she go look up my cousins or aunties for advice. an absolute horror of a human being to remain unrepentant & expect others to change. if she's gonna continue this way, then all i can & will do is return her 3x wad she has provided me since birth, dat is, money from my mthly income as filial piety's sake & save my feelings for someone else. this is juz borderline sensibility imo to deter me from implosion. honesty is self-protection.

starting tmr, my work for year 2013 has begun. need to prep myself mentally.
a new environment awaits. i wonder how it's gonna be like. will i be a distinct benefit to ppl ard me? a contribution to d company? i hope so

mood for drama

just finished watching a few more chinese dramas. absolute pleasure indeed returning to one of my old hobbies of soaking in d many fantasies dat directors have concocted.

completed 爱情睡醒了

also completed 无懈可击之高手如林

now checking out 胜女的代价

of cuz.. i shudn't be influenced by any of them since these stories r juz for viewers' moments of escapism. tho i muz say i did learn a lot. for eg. 1% can also be said as "百分之一(bǎi fēn zhī yī)". ex boyfriend can be shortened & mentioned as "前男友(qián nán yǒu)" instead of 以前的男朋友. cool rite! k maybe it's juz me dat finds it surprising since my reading/writing of chinese is like dat of a 7-yr old kid. improving on speaking & listening is so much easier yup! besides, i dun rmb passing even my primary 2 spelling in chinese LMAO. 

but yea.. how mandarin is communicated in taiwan is different from how it is in china. juz like how english is in great britain & australia etc. quite easy for me to understand & identify altho i'm not all dat interested in contrastive linguistics stuff. juz wanna have funnnnn!!

first day of 2013 woohoo! okayyyy washing machine calling.. gonna go hang socks now

OGN QuarterFinals . Xuan Yuan Jian

wow! absolutely brilliant & exciting performance by both teams in this best of 5 OGN group A QuarterFinals! back & forth back & forth back & forth action dat i cant even imagine how d finals will be like! amazing!

it's so stacked dat i tink any team dat made top 8 in this competition deserves a whole lot of recognition

-------

almost finishing on Xuan Yuan Jian 3 (轩辕剑三外传之天之痕) feat. a whole line of my favourite a-list cast. despite some obvious bad 3d graphics which is understandable, its plot/storyline itself begs a lot of quality i cant wait to catch d final 2 episodes!

also had a great time boiling a pot of green vegetables w/ a few crab meat, fish balls & a hotdog for breakfast. ahh.. feeling gratified after consuming 'em, healthy digestion for my intestines i suppose =)

-------

star wars clone wars season 5 is back! yay i miss d cute padawan !!
i bet she'll grow up to be super beautiful

finally finished watching d drama mentioned previously. holy shit so many episodes, 80 in total. at least it had 40 minutes dedicated entirely for a complete ending. very satisfying show.

i tink besides d few dat i already fancy, i'm liking this zhang meng (张檬) n tang yan (唐嫣) too! it's quite evident to see china bursting w/ so much potential n this is juz d beginning.. at least till year 2080

i wonder which drama would most interest me next before i start working again.

My Daughter 夏家三千金

currently watching My Daughter 愛情真善美, a tv drama series produced in China. enjoying it! wow wish i have a girlfriend who looks like one of em absolutely gorgeous! great storyline too juz wish they have a higher quality like 480p or smth but it's k i like it nevertheless. yay!

this "Not Sure If" player.. 4 games same team with him, 4 games lost. very bad mannered w/out repentance. apologizes w/out actions of redemption. (might as well dun say sorry right? lol) i have to make use of the wasted 2 hrs of my life to be wary of him. it's amusing that when asked why play so badly/troll-like, he retorts snappily w/ phrases like "u jelly" "umadbro" "baylife" etc reminds me very much of small kids that type away like keyboard commandos but hide behind their computers forever cuz they dun realize that in the REAL LIVING world, they juz possess puny, malnourished bodies dat get crushed by even bicycles travelling at 10km/hr. we call these keyboard warriors humji kias. anyway.. to know that he'll get his own medicine shoved up his face some day by someone else keeps me comforted. cheers

what seems like hope
fades into darkness
wavering much is clarity of none
wallowing deeper..
yet God's consistency abides

NA Next Prodigy Team?

could Curse.Na be d next upcoming prodigy team dat brings revival to d US & Canada in league of legends? or will it be another? CLG.Na? Dignatas? FeaR perhaps? we shall see in d next couple weeks or so. d commentator is so funny btw "cop takin a nap.." "oddone wishing he had some kinda teleport.." haha i like his style very entertaining!

d other commentator is quite dumb tho. of cuz 2 aegis/runic bulwark auras can stack if they're bought on 2 different champs. its description is meant for deterring a player who may wish to don 2 aegis/runic bulwark on himself.

yay! elementz is back! voyboy rocking rengar so hard too WOOHOO. stfailandfeedvicious as usual.
who is mandatorycloud? wow he seems so OP
