A Girl Named Kai

A Girl Named Kai
Canada | Kai Ling Xue


Follow Kai in this film that spans three years and four countries as she takes unconventional measures, like shaving her head in the middle of a parade and getting a chest tattoo to figure out who she is and how she fits into her culture.

There's nothing much to shout about regarding the storyline...however I do rate it high in the the artistic level...

Watch it now

My summer of love or fantasy ?

Caught the movie today. Sorry mates, I know it suppose to be double-date cum catch up movie together... We went ahead first.

Anyway, it turns out that the movie is not as bad as I thought it would be... Its definitely not a lesbian movie. However, I find it hard to catch what the gal was talking about at certain times because she is a "native" English speaking person...( heavy British accent and grammer, is this the "native" english that our "garment" want our nation to learn?? ;p )

Its not too bad, if you are ok with foreign movies.

Sunny Phuket

There were alot of unexpected good and awkward and even unpleasant things at that "event" in Phuket. I am still processing the events... I didnt know what to do except to be myself and be confident. Anyway will write more about the events held by TW and Fridae later.

Me and angel went on our own island trip and did snorkeling in the islands. It was really an experience for the both of us. I also manage to swim to a distance where I catch a glimse of shark which was about 3m away from me...Wow... I really enjoy the island trip and time spend with Angel, we had alot of laughter even when we disagree on certain things.

Too tired now...took early flight back to Singapore today and went out again to get angel's birthday present... Got to rest and be adjusted back to life in Singapore again.

Have fun like a child

Its amazing, my little nephew is an ABBA fan at a tender age of 5 years old... My radio is playing ABBA songs now as I write this down, and he is dancing along to ABBA's songs.

Its really amazing how ABBA can keep people entertained all these years. I am sure they would feel deep sense of satisfication that their music has kept to lift the moods of countless number of people...

smoky island

The smoke induced haze is terrible... the weather has become warmer too... its unbearable ( at least for me ).

Lots of things piling up on my desk at work. I am keeping my finger crossed every thing will flow smoothly.

It was a pleasant surprise ( and its been a while) someone send me an email to tell me how she enjoyed reading my blog ( although I am not sure which one she was refering to). The last time I got such compliments were years ago.

Quote from the email :

Hi.I dont have a habit of reading blogs but I couldn't pass through yours.Its beautiful.I will keep reading them.Thanx for your tasteful and brilliant choices.

:)

Gosh its so warm and air is so bad... lets all pray for rain...

Lunch with sec school mates

It was an interesting lunch where I managed to catch up with my secondary school friends whom I have not seen for about 15 years! Both of them are married and one is already expecting her second child now.

The one expecting a child, kept telling me to get married quickly and the other married one to quickly give birth. She is so naggy... quite like the same gal I knew back in Sec schools days...

Obviously I can't tell them more about my life, I chose not to... to be on the safe side.

Nevertheless I am happy for the both of them to see that they are getting well with their own life. I hope I can get on happily with mine too.

The night before I couldnt sleep as I was kinda 'stressed' over the lunch today...

lack of energy

My work is quite draining for me... handling of human interaction, solving problems esp payroll matters are very taxing. Its a subject that people always gets works up. I already considered myself as quite 'bo chap' ie detached by such people but I am also aware I cannot be totally 'bo chap' too.

Although compare to my previous environment, current environment is definitely not as stressful but its kinda 'irritating' as its always answering same (silly) questions from the same people whom already asked countless times before ...

I find my energy drains quickly to have to 'put up a front' to entertain some situations/people in such manner. I wish I have more energy...
Guess i have to figure out a way to re-store my energy.

talking dogs videos

This is really funny...
Any dogs lovers here have the same experiences?

Smoky Mid Autumn Festival

"Haze drifts into central Malaysia, pollution reaches 'unhealthy' level in capital",
"The worst case of smoke-induced haze in Southeast Asia occurred in 1997-98. It blanketed much of the region and was blamed for losses of nearly US$9 billion in lost tourism, health and business costs."

-- Asiaone.com 6 Oct 2006

I was at Tiong Bahru for dinner and witness the smoke-induced air lowering the visibilty and it seems that the city were covered by the haze/smoke. It was rather unpleasant.
Nevertheless, we proceed to Chinatown to view the Lanterns and try to get some atomsphere of the festival too.

It was rather fun and we took some pictures too, I also noticed some foreigners buying lanterns too. However ( maybe due to the haze ) the weather was so hot and humid causing me to perspire non-stop, thus I was very uncomfortable that I wanted to just go home to take a nice shower. However, we ended up in a nearby club for a drink and to indulge in air conditioning.

Something to remind myself

All high achievers plan their work and work their plan, for they arekeenly aware that "luck" is most often being prepared to take advantage of a situation. -- Unknown
