Song from Scott Pilgrim vs the World - Threshold

One of the songs which I liked from the movie

I post here coz if i do this in FB, my inbox will be flooded.

I wonder how men take it, but as a woman, I can't take it!!!

A colleague is experiencing her first pregnancy. Granted, we can understand if she's anxious or if she's worried that she can't handle a lot of stress. But to use her pregnancy as an excuse to (1) not schedule remedials on Friday afternoon for her subject so that she can have an early start of her weekend rest for 'mother and baby', (2) cut the queue for food/toilet/printer/photocopying machine, (3) request to have her classes split into two AND to take the better half because she's afraid she might get depressed if she has to keep repeating the same thing over and over again to a weaker class... gosh, it's really too much. To make it worse, if she submits work late or if she's late for a meeting, she never fails to mention "must understand, i'm pregnant." Or, after finalising distribution of duties for the term, she ends in by saying "I'm pregnant, not sure if I can continue to contribute further."

Seriously!!!! She's not the first one in the staffroom to get pregnant! If she's so worried, take no pay leave since her hubby brings in lots of income anyway.

Week 1 gone. 9 more weeks..

Not sure who's the admin. But I logged in earlier using my other account. No need to add lavieenrose into the group.

By the way, anyone else counting down? I'm actually counting down to end of term. Now waiting anxiously for an email from school to cancel lessons from 1pm onwards coz of O level results.

I feel this is the best scene from the movie.

Test

The Price of Not Paying Service Charges to Samsung

Looks like Samsung is diversifying into the F&B industry. Else they would not have gotten the 'pay me service charge or Iwill not serve you properly mentality into their heads.

I am in a very pissed mood.

Long story short:
1. 2.00pm Wait to be serve at customer service
2. 2.30pm Left phone with them. Stated collection time: 5.00 pm
3. 5.00pm Reached center. Got feedback by customer officer have to wait for them to finish 60 customers in queue before I can collect my phone.
4. 5.15pm WTF. Send them a negative customer feedback email using the free internet provided by them at the service center.
5. 5.30pm WTF still waiting. Approach customer officer number 2 to try my luck. She passed her will saving throw.
6. 5.45pm WTF still waiting. Still plenty of customer in the center.
7. 6.00pm Went to approach the customer officer who serve me earlier. Thank goodness he responded and brought out my phone.
8. 6.05pm Out of Samsung Service Center. (Note: it only take 5 minutes to check everything is okay)

Summary of my email to Samsung.
'I would like to feedback to you on the horrid service I am experiencing now at the plaza singapura service center. I believe the problem here is that Samsung SC has failed to deliver as promise. I have passed the phone to your side for an upgrade for 2.5 hours and the collection slip clearly states the time of collection to be 5.00 pm. And when i am here your customer service officer states that have to wait for them to clear the other 60 customer in the queue before they can attend to me who obviously only need 5 min of their time to collect my phone. Afterall the collection time is 5 pm as per stated. I would estimate that will need another 1-2 hours more before they can finish all the customers.

Thank you for your precious time and hope that you understand that my time is just as important to me as it is to you.

Plus side:
It is fun giving them such feedback thru their website using the free internet provided by them. Afterall they made me wait so long.

Black Swan

This is one of most intense and riverting movie I have watched this year.

Passionate horror.

Loving hate.

Graceful obsession.

Devastating dreams.

And a deep, dark spiral into madness.

Merry Christmas to all and to these people in particular

As we all enjoy another Christmas safe and snug in our homes, let us remember those who help make it all possible by doing insane work to keep our infrastructure going. People who delve into the briny depths to drill for oil, people who work long and late shifts to maintain our utilities and then there are these guys in the video. Easily the most badass people outside of uniform, they work on power-lines suspended in mid-air every day to keep the juice flowing for us consumers. Wherever you are gentlemen, Merry Christmas and God Bless.



PS: That television program you're watching? Someone like this had a hand in the broadcast towers remaining operational.

2011: Year of the RPG?

2011 is shaping up to be a bumper year for RPG fans. Not only is Dragon Age II and Mass Effect 3 being released, Bethesda has announced Elder Scrolls V for 11th November and the Witcher 2 is also slated to be released on March 8th. If you harken more for JRPGs well.... Disgaea 4 and FF Versus XII are both in development but only Disgaea 4 has been confirmed for a 2011 release date. Atlus' Catherine and Level 5' Ni no Kuni might be out in Japan by then but its unknown if an international version of the game will ever be released. This is also true of Tales of Graces F. Patience is a virtue in this regard; Yakuza 4 did take an entire year to be ported overseas after all. The best JRPGs of 2011 (or projected to be released in 2011) seem to be on handhelds like Valkyria Chronicles 3 (and I curse the day someone at Sega decided to bring VC to the PSP) and FF Agito XIII. Overall it would seem that a CRPG fan will have a much better year than the JRPG fan.

And now for something completely different:
An early cinematic for the ending of Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm has supposedly been leaked. Bogus or legit, no one who could confirm this is talking.
