Time really flies when we are enjoying ourselves.. :) [updated]

I was just deep in thoughts awhile ago & it dawned upon me that time really flies when we are enjoying ourselves..

I've been working in my current company/job/position for more than eight months now & I have never ever experienced an unhappy day or moment.. Ever.. :)

I love this extremely reputable company I'm working for/in.. :)

And am extremely proud of it.. :)

I love the awesome management.. :)

I love my job! [My faithful & regular blog fans & readers should know, by reading my many past blog posts on the details of how awesome & flexible my job is.. ;)]

I love my team mates.. :)

Yup! Every single one of them.. :)

We have so much fun together and work together as a team.. :)

The most important thing is we are all very open to one another, we share with each other lots of stuff, we learn from each other & every single one of us help each other whenever anyone needs help..

We are not just colleagues & team mates, we are like a family! And we have become so close, like "brothers" & "sisters"! [That's why you noticed I've never address my colleagues as colleagues but "brothers" & "sisters" instead.. :)]

I have said it before when I first joined this company & I shall say it again for the umpteenth time... I have never ever been happier in my entire working life! :)

Just bought myself this limited edition Calvin Klein bag yesterday.. It looks cheap.. But a very simple bag like this costs $159.. What say you?

On a lighter note..

I still enjoy eating these old-school classic gems.. Don't you? :)

2天的病假!;)

Went to Singapore Changi Airport yesterday to see a doctor for my persistent cough which was "bugging" me since last Thursday..

Went to see a doctor @ Siglap Centre last Friday, however, the medication she prescribed was not effective enough..

Thus yesterday I decided to go see the doctor @ Singapore Changi Airport instead..

The doctor gave me 2 days of M.C. & thank God this time round the medication he prescribed was effective!

:)

And while I was at the airport, I also went for a 30 min Shoulder & Back Thai massage.. :)

It was painful but good!

30 mins costed only $20! :)

Very worth it.. :)

Watched these movies on DVD last week.. :)

2012

Awesome movie with flawless CGI!!! The visual effects were really commendable.. :)

Monsters vs Aliens

Entertaining & Cute..

Fantastic Mr Fox

Woo Hoo!!! Roald Dahl's one of my all-time favourite authors!!!

And I shall say Wes Anderson did an awesome job for this stop motion animation film which I must say I absolutely love the way it was done..

Old school.. I love the beauty of it!!!

I take my hats off to the filmmakers, especially the modelers and pretty much everyone who has to painstakingly move everything a little bit at a time, which for folks who are impatient (like myself), would already have driven one nuts.

The crazy effort in bringing to life Roald Dahl's story of a sly fox, is pretty much worth every frame of it. The man hours and intricate designs are something of an old school technique when compared to the latest computer wizardry, but you'll be amazed at what director Wes Anderson and his team managed to come up with, complete with a solid story, likable characters, and plenty of fun.

The film managed to pack plenty of subplots, characterization, and comedy into one well oiled narrative. You'll surely be one without a sense of humour should you not be able to laugh at anything and everything that Anderson had put on screen, from slapstick to really smart and funny lines that make up every moment of enjoyment in this film. The A-list voice cast also includes the likes of Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Willem Dafoe, Owen Wilson, Brian Cox, Adrien Brody et al, some of whom you'll know are regulars in Anderson's past works.

And if you had enjoyed his past quirky films, then you'd come to expect the same for Fantastic Mr. Fox, with Wes Anderson's signature touches all over the shop, where he made some departures from Dahl's book, but manage to retain the essence of the story, and through a stroke of luck, finding an alternate ending from Dahl's original manuscript which got adopted here in the film. It's comical, it's smart, it's stop motion and it won't be too long before fans will soon adopt Mr Fox's trademarked whistle-whistle-click-click.
