Blah and the blah and the blah blah blah..

Hey peeps, what's up? Guess what? I'm back to my job-search frantic, and to acknowledge that, I'm going for an interview tomorrow. Some big international company I suppose. Actually I called them up the other time but didn't think it is the kind of job I would want. But then, I kept seeing their company name popping up everywhere so I thought I might as well just go down for an interview and we'll see how.

Recently, while being jobless, I'm more or less slacking. Though I've been keeping up with my school stuff as much as possible, participating in online discussion on those discussion boards. Lol. Good thing there's e-learning. Now I'm glad I'm not bound to full-time study courses. At least I'm pretty much on my own, with all the flexible study schedules. Having that said, I need to work on the several assignments that are soon to be due.

Other than that, I'm pretty much just indulged in what I usually like to do yeah. DVDs. Books. Music. Speaking of DVDs, I rented this excellent movie called "Half Nelson" starring The Notebook's Ryan Gosling. It was such an amazing, emotional, heartfelt and sincere movie that speaks volumes. I think it's up in my favourite list of movies. I saw this movie advertisement at the cinemas few months back but just didn't get to watch it. Anyway, I'm glad I discovered yet another gem. Awesome. Watched "Funny Games U.S." last night. Some psychological thriller flick. Pretty demented in a way. And it's one of the few movies with a bad ending. Bad as in not lousy, but sad ending. Well, not exactly sad, but yeah, just no survivors in the end. So that's probably the sad part. But it's clever. And quite well acted I would say.

Here's my ratings
"Half Nelson": 4.3/5
"Funny Games U.S.": 3.8/5

Ok, 2 movies down. I'm left with 3:10 with Yuma now. Heard it's pretty good. Other than that, guess I'm gonna check out more dvds soon. Haha.

Oh yeah, by the way, you could really ask me for recommendations if you need any good movie to watch. Or you can even try to ask me out for a movie. Lol.

Books wise, well, been reading Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys and I have to say I like it so far. He has such a way with language and his imagination really goes into places. Weird places. Guess after I'm done with the book, I will check out more of his works, particularly American Gods. Other than that, I'm still catching up with my graphic novels. Can't wait for Ben Templesmith's Wormwood Vol. 1 to arrive since I placed an order. Still reading 30 Days of Night. Vol. 3 and 4. Cool and freaky stuff.

Yeah that's about all.

What a drone eh?

Hahaha.

Some highlights...
Coming Sunday, Aug 3. Outing to JB with fellow SIM colleagues. Is anyone getting excited already? =P

Embrace change.
