Last weekend, went to watch Next.. the one with Nicholas Cage. At best,, I can only give it 2.5 star rating.... pretty boring story line, especially for those who have watched Deja Vu earlier.
Movie wasn't fast pace enough for an action movie. It was not interesting enough to be sci-fi either. It's just those kind of so-so movie for movie-goers who wanna see Nicholas Cage. I used to like Nicholas Cage's movie, especially the City of Angels. But after this, i think i dont feel like wanna see his face for a long, long time.

Songs can hurt...
" I listen to classical music and church music mostly nowadays. Stay away from songs these days "
My friend, JP, told me one day.
" How's that ? You dont like pop songs or oldies or love songs "
I queried. After a while, she answered
"It gets to my emotions too much."
I understood. Songs can hurt.
JP was still hurting, still recovering from the wounds of her last relationship which made her lost faith in men.
For a moment, I was transported back to my past, reliving that kind of emotional pain. I was very depressed then. When I happen to hear songs broadcast over radio, it kind of touches a raw central nerve and you feel pain rippling from your heart. Tears will begin to flow uncontrollably.
It was a time when many song lyrics could wreak havoc on my emotions. It was like raw wounds expose to the air - no skin to protect it. The slightest breeze can hurts.
Maybe it happened for a reason, I had this thought. It made me able to emphatised with other people's pain now. Else I wouldn't have understood how songs can hurt..... if I hadnt experienced it myself.
Like Meredith said in Grey's Anatomy, many of us are emotionally battered and damaged in some way.

Informatics with a new strategy
Last weekend, I was at Informatics Penang for the CUTE exam.
I was bored, waiting for my driver to come. The receptionist seemed bored too. So i kinda chat with her a bit. The used to be an Informatics center at the Taman Inderawasih at Seberang Jaya. The last time i passed by, was surprised to see it no longer there. Even the signboard has been removed. Later, rumors says that Informatics is going out-of-business soon. So I decided to ask the receptionist about this.
According to the lady, Informatics nowadays changed strategy - they will move away from offering courses for individuals. Rather, the penang branch will concentrate on providing corporate trainings courses. The courses for individual students will be all gradually transferred to KL branch and only available there.
Guess it was a smart move coz the margin is typically higher for corporate business as compared to individual business. For those which are HRDF claimable, it wont be surprising if it is priced even higher.
With so much competition around, colleges, institutes, learning center.... It seems to me that Informatics is struggling for survival. Glory days no longer.....

Make money on internet ... not as easy
Make money on internet ... not as easy as I thought . I have recently been trying my hands on those "how to make money on internet" stuff.... and keep banging myself on the wall. Sigh.... anyone out there wanna give me guidance ?
Clickbank problems, Paypal problem.... and no US bank account problem ... whole laundry list of them. I bumped into an ebook named ChapterM - which claims to be help resolve all these woes. Well... i just bought it today, and can't wait to see what great tips it has inside. I'll update once i finish reading.
Just can't understand why Singapore is on the list, and Malaysia is not on the list for Paypal or Clickbank. I saw names of many other countries which does not necessarily a more developed nation than Malaysia, but they got into the list ?? Wonder how they came up with the country list....jeeezzzz......
