Academy Award®-winning director Brad Bird (“The Incredibles”) and the amazing storytellers at Pixar Animation Studios (“Cars,” “Finding Nemo”) take you into an entirely new and original world where the unthinkable combination of a rat and a 5-star gourmet restaurant come together for the ultimate fish-out-of-water tale.

In the hilarious new animated-adventure, RATATOUILLE, a rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great chef despite his family’s wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the city of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unwanted visitor in the kitchen at one of Paris’ most exclusive restaurants, Remy forms an unlikely partnership with Linguini, the garbage boy, who inadvertently discovers Remy’s amazing talents. They strike a deal, ultimately setting into motion a hilarious and exciting chain of extraordinary events that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down.

Remy finds himself torn between following his dreams or returning forever to his previous existence as a rat. He learns the truth about friendship, family and having no choice but to be who he really is, a rat who wants to be a chef. Directed by Academy Award®-winner Brad Bird and co-directed by Academy Award®-winner Jan Pinkava (“Geri’s Game”).

Recommendation: ****/*****

Worth watching. The rats (in this context only) are so cute, especially Remy. & obviously, Paris is a beautiful place. Oh yes, the dishes Remy cooks look delicious.

SECRET is Jay Chou’s directorial debut that deals with the memory of first love.

This is the first day Lun is admitted to Tamkang Secondary School. When he walks around the campus, he meets Yu (Kwai Lun-Mei) in the music room who is playing a mysterious piano solo. The two become intimate friends and spend a lot of time together. “What’s the melody you played the first day we met?” asked Lun, “That’s my secret.” Yu whispered in his ear.

One day, Lun asks Yu to meet him at the music room. But accidentally, they did not meet and Yu never shows up again. It seems that Yu has disappeared from this world.

Later, Lun gets a photo of Yu, but what surprises him is that Yu is standing next to his father, Chiu (Anthony Wong) on the photo! The secrets behind Yu and the mysterious melody are going to be unlashed…

Wanna know the ending? It's a SECRET! Shhhhhhhhhhh…………………

我是小雨， 我爱你，你爱我吗？

All THANKS to the MSN virus Zen had forwarded to me.

My "Darling" is SICK!

Which means that I will be blogging lesser cos I am "lappy-less" at home. I cannot blog in the office cos my boss is sitting next to me. Plus, I do not have the time.

Anyway, it's a good time to break down nevertheless so that I can concentrate on my studying instead of busying MSN-ing & blogging!

See you real soon!

關上門結束一天的旅程　眼前出現的不是屋頂的燈

總是被你的畫面　佔據我所有視線　一直到我深深入眠

朋友總給我一堆理由　要我別再為你難過

從很久以前到以後　都堅持愛你沒錯

只要你回頭　你會發現我

這些年我一直站在　愛你的路口

Dear Ms Absolute,

I am sure my English standard is not as "good" as yours cos I really do not understand what you had written in your blog. What has the disclaimer have to do with me being upset, me being clown, my being too clever & etc………….

I read through several times but I seriously cannot figure out what are you trying to bring across to me. My apologies, nevertheless.  I strongly feel that I should brush up on my English. Hmmmm…. But again, instead of me brushing up my English, shouldn't you be the one going to school to brush on your English? 

FYI, I have the disclaimer in my blog too. Didn't you read my blog carefully & properly? But what has it gonna do with your posting - making me upset, me being a clown etc? You guys are being too sensitive. Never did I mention any names or whatsoever. You guys just ASSUME that I am referring to you! So the clowns say me? Even if I am a clown, it is just a pot calling a kettle black.

Enough said. I do not wish to bring myself down further to talk about you, your darling and your darling's brother and gf.

Rgds

P/S: I may decide to take you on when I think I am bored. LOLx………… 

Thanks to the haywired weather! The flu virus is back!

I just came back from "dating" my doc bf, David Hau. LOLx…. The queue to see him was BLOODLY HELL long & I had to wait like close to 2 hours just to consult him.  

I was given 2 days MC but I am going back to work tomorrow since I am still new in the office. Have so much things to learn!

Anyway, THANKS to my dearest Kenn. He passed me the virus!  

It's my 2nd day of work & I am feeling kinda exhausted. Guess my body is trying to adapt to the early waking up hours. I have been reading and reading for the whole of today. So it is kinda boring.

Just gotta my HI textbook. I had already booked for 4th September exam. So I am left with 2 weeks to study. Plus my ACII exam in 2 months time?? Exhausted……………

Hitting the sack soon. Good night! 

Hmmmm… Been such a long time since I wrote about my day so let me start off with my day which is WORK! Work is rather fine today. It's all about reading though plus getting to know the people. Oh well, as usual, I cannot remember the names. Duhz…. But I saw Audrey (my poly classmate) & Wendy (ex-colleague) in my new company. 

Generally, my boss seems quite good. She is kinda vocal so do expect her to talk nonsense to you! Oh yes, had a foc Japanese lunch from her. Fussy eater, just like me! But good cos we can click! LOLx………

Oh yes, I saw Lala after some many months (since I broke off with Kins). She looks fine to me (physically thou) & she has WONDERFUL perm which I fell in love. Plus, she tends to dress up lotsa which is good for her! Yet, I dare not break the news to her! Haiz…..

Okay, back track…………….. to GOSSIPS!

1. LCM married? Hmmm……. I was not aware & am kinda shocked cos the wife is only a few years older than me. But again, LCM is a nice boss = nice man.

2. AT is leaving. Shocked! To another insurer. Shall not disclose! 

3. The earlier scandal I had written? I was told the female lead CRIED after seeing my blog. *evil smile* My apologies to make her cry but again, I am not guilty at all. Since she dares to me the female lead of a married man's affair then why act innocent and cry? LOLx…. Kidding me! Just admit & I will be proud of you! 

Oh yes, I will be having lunch appointments from tomorrow till Thursday! & me suffering from migraine now! I need to sleep………… 

Haha… I have to admit that I am an EVIL princess at times!

*devilish wink*

But again, I am only evil to sickening, idiotic, moronic a$$holes. In short, I am in fact kind at heart. It is just the cruel world which makes me need to put up an evil front.

Guess what I did? LOLx………..

An email was sent via friendster email,

Princess wrote: I like your new picture. You seems to put on weight but on your face only. This shows that you are happier now. Good luck!"

Am I evil enough? Does this consider as extra-marital affairs in the eyes of law? Hmmmmmmmm…………………….

Oops……………. I am just that evil princess. Obviously, I am not as "pure" as your snow white but again, looks are deceiving! 

FINALLY! It is the last day of "rotting". The "lazy bone" in me has to be plucked off & off to work, I am……

Excited? Kinda but still the thought of working sucks still. AGAIN, still need to work. Unless someone wanna make me a housewife? LOLx……

First & for most, I did my padicure yesterday and I loved the purple nail polish!

Oh yes, did I mention that my curls have straightened? I am going to re-do (Digital/ Japanese perm) soon in the next few months before Christmas! So now, I am having semi-straight hair. Duhz… I hate it!

& yes, I need to shed of some pounds which I gained during the 1 month plus. Oh thanks to my dear Kenneth who has been feeding me with suppers….  

Oh well, time to go to bed! Need to be fresh tomorrow. New job, new start & new me!
