Awesome phrase

漆黑的夜晚比较容易让彼此的心不设防

寻找另外一双也孤单的肩膀

The Perfect Girlfriend

HAHA !!

Still hanging on

Life at my new job is still going good so far. Started courses, more responsibilities, longer hours but still relatively happy there. I'm pretty comfortable with the people I work with, they are all young and full of vigor. Even though I'm only a few years older than them, it feels as if I'm 40 and they're like hyper active kids who never seem to get tired.

I see alot of my past self in them and it really brings a smile to me. Its great to be young and vibrant.

I've been "arrowed" by my boss to do some filming. Its pretty much serious stuff with scripts and all and to be honest, I'm not the least keen in doing it. And since I was told it was either my boss or myself, what choice do I have ? Hopefully it won't be akward at all. It is also time for a diet. Dang.

Xiao Qiu quit her job as an Accounts Exec, apparently she found another one as a Marcomm Exec. She was at Ion earlier to look for me and I missed her. Then I realised that I actually do miss her alot. Which brings me to my point - I have zero social life after work. I need more time with my friends.

My weekend is burnt as I'll be working till late at night. Hopefully next week will be better .. till then ..

Work life

Finally watched Inception through the weekend with alvin and pork, it was as good as they say. Also watched Love in Disguise on Sunday capping off the week.

3rd week at work now, its been pretty okay. Lots of fun, scandals and "hugs" around the work place.

Sometimes, I ask myself if I'm getting tired of everything and just want time to stop so that I can catch a breather. I realised that life is as it is and it'll take time to get use to the kind of life I'm leading now. Maybe all I needed was a break. To what extent then ?
The good news is, the fun loving bunch at work reminds me of my time when I was their age, not that its really much of a difference but still ..

I'm still hoping for the pot of gold to be at the end of the rainbow. And perhaps a new direction for me to move forward.

Au Revoir Taipei

Finally had time to meet pork and black for a movie. While I was driving towards Cineleisure, we were deciding on The last Airbender or Inception. But as fate would have it, I made an impromptu decision to watch Au Revoir Taipei. And it was an awesome choice.

The movie was awesome !

Au Revoir Taipei to me is Taiwan's answer to Ethan Hawke's Before Sunrise, where everything happened in a night. Of course the difference being that they met in the book store a couple of times before and more comedy is thrown in making it an awesome movie.

Romantic comedy is a tricky genre to make a film about and I'm pretty demanding as I do enjoy romantic comedies. But the filmmaker Arvin Chen 陳駿霖 has combined humor and light-hearted characters with good character developement to produce this charming piece of work that'll put a smile on your face as you walk out of the theater.

Side track a little .. For the first time, Pork, black and I eached liked a different girl from the movie. That's pretty awesome. I liked the cute Amber Kuo 郭采潔, pork liked the police's frustrated wife Peggy Tseng 曾佩瑜 while the black liked the convenience store girl, Vera Yen.

Just resist the urge to take up lindy hop after watching this movie :D

Thoughts

One day at a time. One step at a time. Be clam, be collected. At the end of the day, the ROI isn't exactly awesome. Take it easy and have fun.
