Ice, Ice Baby!

Was given half day leave by our company so decided to go ice skating at Kallang Leisure Park with my colleagues. I used to hang out at the roller-blading rink before they renovated the place. But that was years ago. Gosh, time flies!

Anyway, can't remember when was the last time I ice-skate. Initially was pretty scary cos there are a lot of people, mostly students and youngsters. Think the rink was half packed with people. But after a few rounds, it was pure fun! P/S: I DIDN'T fall down at all. =)

The centre of the rink is reserved for students and their instructors. It's quite interesting to see the instructors switched students every 45 mins. Now you see a little Chinese girl with this instructor, later you might see a little Caucasian grl.

Pricing: $14 for 2 hours in the rink, $2.50 per pair of skates, $1.50 per pair of gloves/socks (compulsory)

Brr.. Brr.. Pose for the camera!

Beliefs or Superstitious?

I was walking past the NTUC at Bedok central yesterday when I saw a lot of people crowding around this pillar like thing which is in the middle of the walkway. Being curious (or rather, kaypo) I walked nearer to take a closer look. To my amazement, it is somewhat like a huge "fortune pillar" - showing the luck (for 2009: Year of the Ox) in different aspects eg wealth, health, relationships, etc for each of the 12 zodiac signs in the Chinese astrology.

Actually, from the beginning of last week, similar emails were circulated in my office showing the luck for 2009 for each of the 12 signs, in both Chinese astrology and Western astrology. One of my colleagues actually bought a book with detailed analysis about her luck for her sign in the Chinese astrology.

Beliefs or Superstitious?

Well, all I can say is there are many who believe in such things. I myself like to read books on signs, zodiacs and astrology, but purely for fun. Beliefs or superstitious is only a thin line apart. Believing in yourself is still the best way out.

Post Holiday Blues

Christmas Eve, Christmas, Weekend. New Year Eve, New Year Day, Weekend.

How do you survive the 5 working days after 2 long weeks of holidays? Barely surviving. Most of my colleagues have caught the virus - Post Holiday Blues. No mood to work. Trying hard to focus and concentrate, and to stay awake.

Staring at the screen, reading the emails, suppressing a yawn. Gosh. Staying focus and trying to get work done becomes so difficult! But heck, at least the first week is gone and it's the weekends again! Precious 2 little days to just indulge in freedom from work.

Then it's back to square one... =(

2009 的处女座 Virgo

总体来说，忙碌的一年，得长辈扶助，财运和事业有好的收获。处女座们对于土星对处女座的压抑影响已经渐渐的能够适应，可能会有收获。这一年你要学会让自己放松一下，因为平常很多人都对你寄予厚望，你也一直给自己压力，快马加鞭的努力了若干年，但这一年，学会松弛是王道，一定要知道并不是一直努力就会一定有好收获的，是时候给自己减压了。土星在2007年9月份开始进入到处女座，一直到现在，一切风波与起伏过去之后，处女座今年开始比较适应土星带来限制和压力，并寻找到良好的相处之道。如果生病，所有的病都是心思过多导致的毛病。

事业：这段时间可能会特别劳碌，特别繁忙。但不要勉强自己，每天都跟自己说只要做的事情努力去做一定会有成果，之类的内容多了会造成过大的心理压力。相信未来一年的处女座在事业上，偶有杰出的表现，对工作内容有见解，能得心应手，但是因为环境的变动大，你的表现不见得能够受到他人的肯定。上半年有贵人运，能帮助你事业上的拓展，或是化解工作上的问题。而下半年责任与压力却又倍增。

学业：这一年有旺盛的学习运势，尤其是你一向喜爱或擅长的科目，能有非常杰出的表现。比较要注意的是与同学们的沟通方式，不要过于尖锐或处处挑剔，计较一些小细节，保持和霭亲切的态度，跟同学彼此交换心得，将使学习之路更顺利。

爱情：处女座这年的爱情运很特别，会际遇不同以往的对象或感情体验。由于受到许多恋爱小行星的影响，爱情关系错综复杂，而八卦与三角恋的可能性也变得非常多，容易卷入爱情带来的纠纷，又不可避免自己与他人的受伤害，但求保护好自己，与不要任性。

财务：这一年的财务状况多变，呈现时好时坏的状况，收入支出都不太稳定。这一年你会热衷于尝试，上半年可能有一次快速的回收，但最好尽速收手避免损失。下半年则宜投入较稳定的资产。一直都有著增值与负债并存的现象，这点亟需你想办法去平衡与调整。

How far will you go to atone for the sins and mistakes you have made? For some, it means giving up your life.

On the 1st day of 2009, I watched this heavy yet meaningful movie. Watching Seven Pounds is like playing with building blocks. Subtle hints were thrown throughout the movie to tell the audience what happened, what is happening and what is going to happen.

However, the audience has to be patient as the first half of the movie can be a little slow and baffling for some. Once you manage to endure it, you will finally see the true story and reason behind the protagonist's actions.

Definitely a movie worth watching. 4.5 stars from me! =D
