[MV] 周杰倫 - 我不配

another nice MV of jay chou.the gal in the MV is rili pretty!!:)..oh no..more and more jay chou's videos in my blog,haha!!

"IT" & "four weddings and a funeral"

many of us may experience this: watched a movie during childhood that impact on us so much that we'd still remember the character so clearly until today. One day, when u mentioned it to ur friends..u'd be astonished that others shared the similar experience with u..well..for those who were borned in the 80s will definitely heard of the movie "IT"..i hardly remembered the storyline, but i still remember the scary clown and his irritable laugh..

and during a-levels, we toked about this once..and somehw my friend managed to get the film..and with much anticipation, excitement and feeling a bit fearful, we watched the movie together. BUT...the whole movie wasnt at all scary!! it was totally different than what we'd expected..We were VERY scared before this whenever we mentioned the film, but watching it again brought a totally new feeling..and we were utterly disappointed.. after watching it for the 2nd time..the movie was kinda boring and some of the scenes seem funny..looking back at the old film, we just dun find the scenes believable..come to think about it, its kinda weird that our memory dun necessary match the reality..

see???its not scary at all..:P

today sc and i talked about this..and shortly after that, i went out to watch tv..and ironically, i saw hugh grant (one of my favourite actors) with curly hair,loose hawaiian style t-shirt and shorts which clearly indicated the fashion during the 90s..immediately i was glued to the sofa after that..the storyline was somewat familiar, and not long after that..i remembered that this was the movie "Four Weddings and a Funeral", one of the most talked about british film during the 90s..was still in primary school (the movie was released in 1994) when i watched this movie at home..but din appreciate it that time cos i was still young and innocent:p and therefore din finish watching it..

this time..i missed out the beginning of the film, but i continued watching it to see whether it was similar to wat i've remembered vaguely. This light-hearted english film is about a group of friends going to weddings where funny incidents happened. The story basically centres on the romance between a charming english man (Hugh grant, of course!!:P) and an American woman. They seem to run into each other at the weddings, but somehow they werent together due to some circumstances. The storyline was simple, but the characters were fun and there were lots of witty lines tat kept me laughing. Another part worth mentioning was the heartfelt recitation of W.H. Auden's "Funeral Blues" which was kinda moving (the whole poem was read by the dead old man's gay partner)
anyway, i cant say that its a great movie, but watching a relaxing and funny movie on a saturday nite certainly felt nice!! Plus, its not at all disappointing compared to "It":)

hugh grant still looks great despite the big flowery t-shirt:)

what a day!

getting lost is nothing unfamiliar for me. im oways VERY BAD in directions, but after all those "trainings" tat i had since i came to glasgow (sometimes loitering around glasgow street alone when i feel like lepak-ing and lately going out with my parents when they were here..) i tot i would have improved in my sense of directions..

obviously wrong again!! yesterday had an appointment for applying NI number (need it for working here) after copying a map from shirlyn and after a detailed description, i went out searching for the bus station near M&S..damn!!got confused of the different bus stops nearby..so had to call shirlyn who is always my gprs to help out..after some time, by pure luck i managed to find the correct bus stop and board the bus (p/s: thanks a lot shirlyn..haha!shud have msg-ed u when i reached, din noe u gt worried:p)

and realised i dun have enuf coins for the bus tic!!!couldnt use the 10pound notes as well..

just when i stood there helplessly, an old lady from behind asked me hw much i needed and she paid for me!! i kept thanking her, and wanted to pay her back with the remaining coins tat i had, but the nice lady just smiled and said "SOMEONE DID THIS ONCE FOR ME TOO..its alrite" awwww..rili very nice!! i then requested the driver to inform me where to get down. Another cute old lady voluntarily helped me explain again to the driver. So, along the journey i chatted with the lady who paid for me. She even slowed down her speed in toking so that i could understand..and before i got down, the helpful driver explained to me again the streets nearby and where he stopped..

anyway, to cut the long story short. I gt lost AGAIN when i gt down the bus. Being a terrible map reader + the building that i need to go to had no name and situated behind a few construction sites + a somewat isolated street that i've been to for the 1st time, its almost destined that i couldnt find my way. Nevertheless, i considered myself as rili lucky..once again, I've met a few ppl who helped me along the way- a lady who was not good in direction herself tried her best to read the map; a Turkish? old man whose English was kinda hard to understand, but he was rili helpful and volunteered to show me where the building was...and finally i gt to the social security office on time with the help of these ppl..

Needed to wait for another 1 hour+ for my interview..and after the interview, i went back to the agency i worked for to ask for the employment letter..etc etc..going thru all the hassle and walking here and there for whole afternoon so that i can work part time in UK!!!

for those who havnt gone for the interview, the place wasnt as difficult to find as i've described..
when i reached my destination, i looked back at the map i drew, and it made perfect sense!! so i guess i'd probably be the only 1 who'd gt lost with a detailed map and going thru the lil adventure..haha!

im just glad i've met all the nice ppl that made my day! those small incidents rili warmed my heart, still in good mood thou i'd to walk a long way..hopefully that my good luck wil continue and will get a job soon..:)
