Goodbye 2007, Welcome 2008

2008 is coming in another few more hours, it's time to say goodbye to 2007! I feel very much grateful and thankful as one of my biggest new year's resolution of 2007 has already been achieved. It was always my dream to study abroad (United States), ever since I was a kid. Now, although I am here in Australia continuing my studies, I have no regrets. I sincerely wanna thank my family and my boi for making it happen to me, and I am truly content that my efforts are not wasted. Certainly, there are some "things" that I missed, but it's been a really great year to me. I promise I'll cherish my life, my family, my boi and people who cares about me more than everyone else. So to all my friends, "Lets live our lives to the fullest" and Happy New Year!

2008 new year's resolutions

1. To loose more weight. (at least 45-47 kg)
2. To earn more money. (even though my mom told me not to worry about the money)
3. To study harder and get better results in semester 1, 2008. (so that I won't let my family and those who supports me down)
4. To complete my bachelor's degree and graduate at the end of semester 1, 2008. (I can't wait for my family to come and attend my convocation ceremony)
5. To travel to China with my family at the end of 2008. (Thanks my family for postponing the trip to next year)
6. Able to find a good career after I graduate or continue pursuing my Master’s Degree.
7. Able to contribute better quality posts for my dearest readers.
8. To stay healthy and young. (Seriously, I need to consume more water daily)
9. The relationship between my boi and I could be improved or just stays at the current level. (I'll love him more everyday, hope he wil do the same.)
10. There is still a lot of things need to be archived but I couldn't think of others at the moment...

My Favorite La Senza Lingerie

These are two of my most favorite sleepwear pieces from La Senza Lingerie, both of them are imported and made of 100% polyester. Luna Slip (top) comes in a sexy shinny material with halter strap around the neck and special bra type closing at the back. Simple Elegance Satin Slip (botoom) has unlined triangle lace cups, slim and adjustable straps, and it's definitely a sexy classic!

La Senza Lingerie provides a great variety of sexy and stylish bra lounge, panty bar, sexy lingerie, sleepwear, loungewear, as well as many other girl accessories that are available in different attractive colors. I'm sure the ladies out there would be crazy over them and dying to get one for themselves. I have got myself a black Luna Slip and a venus Simple Elegance Satin Slip from Malaysia.

Alright guys, here is a question. Would you step into the lingerie boutique to buy women's wear for your loved one? Be honest...

"Fate" with a Doggie

This afternoon at around 5, the bus took off earlier before I could get to the bus-stop. So, I just rode the number 4 bus to Spring street, from there I started to walk to my working place in Westridge.

All in a sudden, I saw a black-and-white doggie which came out from nowhere. I felt worried and pretty scared at first, he kept following me and once in a while, he turned back to check if I was still behind him. He seems to like me a lot.

He is such a good and clever doggie, I could see that in his eyes. There were several times he just stopped in the middle of junction and waited for me to cross the road. Those people in the cars were starring at me as I was the owner of that doggie but I'm actually not. I felt very much touched by his actions.

From time to time, he left marks on the ground with his urine until we both reached my working place. My colleagues were suprised as well when I told them I was followed by a doggie from Spring Street to Westridge, my boss even gave him some fresh food to eat.

About half an hour later, he left the place without saying goodbye. I miss him so much! If he was still there, my colleague would have kept him as a pet. Dear doggie, please forgive me for not being able to take care of you at that time cuz I was busy working...

剧情简介：

故事发生在二战期间各股力量交织混杂的上海，一个化装成学生的女特工为获取情报接近另一方的特工人员易先生的太太，却和易先生陷入了情网。虽然是间谍题材的小说，但是它把主要篇幅放在两人剪不断、理还乱的爱情上。看看小说中易先生的内心独白就可以了解小说的基调：“他对战局并不乐观。知道他将来怎样？得一知己，死而无憾。他觉得她的影子会永远依傍他，安慰他。虽然她恨他，她最后对他的感情强烈到是什么感情都不相干，只是有感情。……

"Lust, Caution" is the latest production of Ang, lee (Academy Award-winning director of Brokeback Mountain, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). Apparently, the storyline is based on a short story written by revered Chinese author, Eileen Chang (张爱玲), starring the Hong Kong famous actor, Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Tang Wei (newcomer from China).

The film has been rated "NC-17" for some explicit sexuality, and "R" for strong sexual content and a scene of brutal violence. I'm not sure whether this movie was being screened in Malaysia or not, but even if it was, I'm sure 99.99% of the sexual content is filtered in the local cinemas. Both the leading actor and the leading actress exposed the glories of their full naked bodies on the screen.

Shanghai, 1942: The World War II Japanese occupation of this Chinese city continues in force. Mrs. Mak, a woman of sophistication and means, walks into a café, places a call, and then sits and waits. She remembers how her story began several years earlier, in 1938 China. She is not in fact Mrs. Mak, but shy Wong Chia Chi (Tang Wei). With WW II underway, Wong has been left behind by her father, who has escaped to England. As a freshman at university, she meets fellow student Kuang Yu Min (Wang Leehom) Kuang has started a drama society to shore up patriotism. As the theater troupes new leading lady, Wong realizes that she has found her calling, able to move and inspire audiences and Kuang.

He convenes a core group of students to carry out a radical and ambitious plan to assassinate a top Japanese collaborator, Mr. Yee (Tony Leung). Each student has a part to play; Wong will be Mrs. Mak, who will gain Yees trust by befriending his wife (Joan Chen) and then draw the man into an affair. Wong transforms herself utterly inside and out, and the scenario proceeds as scripted until an unexpectedly fatal twist spurs her to flee.

Shanghai, 1941: With no end in sight for the occupation, Wong--having emigrated from Hong Kong--goes through the motions of her existence. Much to her surprise, Kuang re-enters her life. Now part of the organized resistance, he enlists her to again become Mrs. Mak in a revival of the plot to kill Yee, who as head of the collaborationist secret service has become even more a key part of the puppet government. As Wong reprises her earlier role, and is drawn ever closer to her dangerous prey, she finds her very identity being pushed to the limit...

My Desktop is Snowing

You may have seen snowing blog or snowing screensaver, what about snowing desktop? My desktop is snowing so nicely while it's raining cats and dogs out there! It's a small program that "hibernates" on hard drive for quite a long time, I happen to dig it out again yesterday.

Even though I celebrated Christmas alone by myself, but I felt touched and gratified. I had the best wishes and warmest greetings from you, my family, my boi, my colleagues and all my friends. Thank you so much!

PSP Mobile Phones?

My boi bought his black colored PSP back in February this year. It was during Chinese New year when he get his "new toy". I rarely touch the PSP unless to help him clean up the dust. I found that PSP is pretty good for killing time especially when you're travelling from one place to another, or when you're waiting for someone in the car... Its small size (approximately 6.7 width x 2.9 height x .9 depth) and lightweight (approximately 280g / .62 lbs including battery) design makes it easy to carry around.

One of my boi's favorite PSP games, "Need For Speed". He had been looking for it in the local stores for quite some time until one fine day, we finally spot it in Supa IGA and bought it for only 20 dollars.

• Master the art of cop evasion and illicit street racing.
• Lay down the law in Tuner Takedown Mode.
• Modify your ride to beat any tuner, miscle, or supercar.
• Earn your reputation in new race modes including Double Down.

I was fascinated to read an article saying Sony Ericsson was planning to launch PSP mobile phones. According to another source, the new product won't be PSP branded but will include some sort of Wii-like motion sensing. Sony Ericsson has been providing a great variety of mobile phones like Walkman® music phones, Cyber-shot™ camera phones, and Bravia TV phones for their customers. My boi is a Sony supporter himself, he falls not only for the high-quality products but also the good services.

Happy Winter Solstice Festival (冬至节快乐) 2007

Happy Winter Solstice Festival to my family, my boi, and everyone in this world! Every year at this time, my mommy will make us yummy and delicious Cantonese-style Glutinous Rice Balls. It's cooked with pork and veggie, with just a little bit of white pepper powder and soya sauce will make it taste absolutely terrific.

When we were still kids, my sis and I used to play around with the glutinous rice flour, and came out with different funny shapes. There were times when we would compete with each other to see who will be the first one to complete all the ingredients given, and I always ended up being the last person. I miss those times...

Nokia 888 Communicator

Nokia 888 Communicator is an amazing futuristic concept phone designed by a Turkish, Tamer Nakisci. The Nokia Benelux design award winning phone has caught my eyes when I was going through my e-mails a few weeks ago. Around 2 years back, I had received similar e-mails regarding such concept phones as well. So, today I decide to share it with you because good things are never too late to be shared.

The ultra slim phone has flexible touch screen, touch-sensitive body cover, and it's making use of liquid batteries and speech recognition technology. As you can see from the image above, its shape could be changed to suit your mood or whenever you feel like changing a new style. Wow, wearing it as a wristband is so cool!

P.S. I Love You

Hey guys, here comes a sweet and romantic movie for you to watch with your partner on this special Christmas Eve. I've watched the trailer just now, it's a very touching story indeed. How I wish I could watch it with my boi as well... Guys, remember to feedback to me if anyone of you happen to watch this movie, thanks! May you have a great day ahead!

Hilary Swank (Holly Kennedy)
Gerard Butler (Gerry Kennedy)
Lisa Kudrow (Denise Hennessey)
Gina Gershon (Sharon McCarthy)
James Marsters (John McCarthy)
Kathy Bates (Patricia)

On a country road in Ireland over ten years ago, it was love at first sight for Holly, a lost young tourist (Academy Award® winner, Hilary Swank), and Gerry, a charming local lad (Gerard Butler). Hollys formidable mother, (Kathy Bates), disapproved of the couple, concerned that her spirited daughter was too young for marriage.

In the years since, the once fearless Holly has become unsure of her own identity. When Gerry dies with a brain tumor and leaves Holly a widow just shy of her thirtieth birthday, her family and best friends (Lisa Kudrow, Gina Gershon) are concerned that she will never emerge from her takeout container-strewn Manhattan apartment.

After weeks holed up watching old movies, a birthday cake and tape recording message from Gerry mysteriously arrives, marking the beginning of a series of letters instructing her to perform unusual requests. With the help of her girlfriends, Holly begins a year of wild adventures and a life journey that Gerry has planned for her, helping her to discover who she is without him and reminding her - P.S. I Love You.

Phuket: James Bond Island (Part IV)

In the 1974 film “The Man with the Golden Gun”, James Bond (Roger Moore) comes to Asia in search of the villain, Scaramanga (Christopher Lee). Bond is eventually taken to Scaramanga's hideout, an island just off China. But in reality, the movie was shot on Khao Phing Kan Island in Phang Nga Bay, The Kingdom of Thailand. It is this Tapu Island (Nail Island) that has now become internationally known as "James Bond Island".

Long Tail Boat which I've mentioned in my previous posts, it seems like life jackets are no longer needed in this place. The tourists take these boats to James Bond Island of Phang Nga Bay.

This is NOT "Five Fingers Mount" (Wu Zhi Shan), it's a unique rock formation which gives the island its name of Leaning Rock Island (Ko Khao Ping Kan).

The spectacular high cliff has been "cloven in two" naturally, the halves supported by leaning against each other. What a rare and exquisite beauty...

My dearest family members, I miss them so much, can't even get to eat Glutinous Rice Balls (汤圆) with them on the Winter Solstice Festival (冬至). Sigh...

The movie has successfully attracted a lot of tourists to visit the island over the years, and most of them like to stand on the beach in the same place as Christopher Lee and Roger Moore did about 33 years ago.

OMG, oysters, oyers, oysters, tons of oysters!!! According to my sis, the monkeys here eat oysters, how could they... *speechless*
