VKLiew, again!

The Borneo Post today shows a pic of my fav guy VKLiew. Why, I hav no idea he is capable of smilling - let alone grinning WIDELY! Must be 1 of those days tat u wake up js not being urself. In tis case a jerkish sulky rude arrogant b*tch waking up as Uncle Jolly. The NST also printed a pathetic pic of his.
Act of courage n responsibility u say? It is the responsibility of a representative of the people to set a good example to his people. Ponder on tat. Act on tat.

P/S: Looking at the doughnut i/o the hole, Lim GE says it best ;-P

The Firm Season 2

Instead of Boon Yew, Masami should hav been ousted. Masami was the team leader n should bear the responsibility. I js could not agree with the way she lead. Instead, she was able to buy more time to stay in the show. I feel boon Yew, as a team player could not be seen rebellious all the time; moreover, he did voice n sell his opinions. Wat else could he do? Beg n cry n get all emotional js to fish for sympathy? Boon Yew is very rational n calm. I believe he will go far.
Dian was too defensive. When a person is selling his idea, naturally he will mention abt the plus points. But in saying tat, tat doesn't mean tat he means YOU r the opposite. Ifeel Dian could be more accomodative n try to hear ppl out i/o dominating a certain idea. She shuts ppl out. Yes, an idea need to be fertilised for it to grow bigger n greater. But at the same time, a team player should not close herself up from others' ideas n prospects.
Hmmm....there is a twist here since Ain has came back. I still believe Jennifer will conquest all. But I foresee a lil bit of competition from Ain..

Say wat u must but nothing sucks more than an unhappy ending to a tale of romance. But i do suppose it is an exception with this one for "one could not be a wife and a writer" in those days. Should she had chosen not to be wat she had became, there would be no Becoming Jane...

Becoming Jane
Becoming a woman. Becoming a legend.

The Firm Season 2

Again, Jennifer had sailed thru her given task. Come what may, Jennifer is always very clear of the assignment (while others r still deep in the woods n hav yet to see the light eg Yuen Wai), she is very fast in reaction n coming up with alternatives, n she knows how to handle ppl with different characteristics. She has leadership qualities too.
Boon Yew on the other hand, apparently did not prove himself to be creative n "think out of the box". Yes, no doubt he could giv life to presentations n he could talk.
Masami, I feel, shares some similarities with Chris, only tat their physical reaction is very contrast. Both r pessimistic, both like to find faults in ppl n both tend to succumb to their own state of unable-to-acceptfulness. Masami gav a good start but somehow...

Jennifer, kambate!!

"Kalau u hormat pada wanita, u takkan buat cam tu", a line quoted from the local production, Frontpage. Eventho it was js referring to some stupid teasing from a street youngster, it really reflect on the values carried by the society. Respect towards women is an issue with the society, with upbringing.
If there is respect towards women, there will not be the jerkish whistling n/or honking hooligans driving by, hidden camera nuisance, harassment, molest, rape, pedophile, domestic violence or any form of disrespect/violence cases inflicted on women /girls.

Sad to say, the punishment for a drug-related crime weigh far more than rape cases. I am not questioning on the drug-related cases, rather, I m emphasizing how mere are violence-towards-women crimes are being regarded. U hav a choice to take drugs (n u hav no one to blame in the world but urself), but do u get to decide whether u want to be subjected to the humiliation, life-traumatizing n/or brutality of rape?

The Firm Season 2

Last week in Team Equity the expected finally happened - The Hold-Myself-Fully-Responsible was terminated. In a way, the 3 people who volunteered themselves to be terminated were..."sweet", willing to bear responsibility n considerate. But at the same time in doing tat, it showed how much tat they're not there to be the winner n js did not bother.

I must say it was really exciting over in Team Asset tis week. Ernie could be cocky n blunt, at all times, but he can really analize the situation damn well. He listed all the fault in the 3 of them n weighed all the cons down to Joo Li being the most deserving to be terminated.

It was very clear tat as time goes by, Yuen Wai had stepped-up n became a great team player. But at the same time, Joo Li has became more irresponsible, pushing the blame n non-participating. N Chris pula more n more questioning while not offering any suggestions. It is good to question n challenge ideas during brainstorming sessions but as u do tat u could suggest an alternative or another way of doing things, or if u dun hav any ideas to contribute, u could explain nicely why u think tat a certain idea is not a good one. A great example is Masami in Team Equity. Eventho Dian's sugg suck (big time) for the second time, which was on the theme again, Masami actually complimented her before offering another idea. Masami's idea "Shrimply the best", I feel, was excellent. She also took the time to explain wat's wrong with Dian's idea. It does not take a genius to tell tat "A taste of courage" will be a bad theme for an f&b outlet. Their actual theme in the end was lousy, I guess "somebody", again, must hav been very defensive towards her own bad idea.

Wat's with Kian Yew anyway? He was fighting with The Client! I mean, when a client gives u a 'no', it means NO. No 2 way abt it, man.
N to Chris, the other 2 teammates left in the same boat as u r not going to plot to kick u out, rather u give too many reasons for u to be ousted. KY n YW were not dominating the work n trying to show off themselves, rather they were js being team players. Team players who want their team to win.
Again, Boon Yew, Jennifer n Masami were great. They know their priority n able to handle the actual day well (which in an event, it's wat it'is all abt), contrary to Chris n Joo Li.

At the end of tis race, I do c Jennifer, Boon Yew n Masami. Some minus points, tho, for Masami, as she did not deliver well as the TL in the previous week. She did not act according to the current situation, as the corporate leader had put it. While Jennifer had performed outstandingly as a TL previously, Boon Yew has yet to prove his leadership qualities. After all, this race is all abt finding a leader.

The Firm season 2

Alas, Ain is out! It was down to The Sissy n Ain, n since it was earlier agreed upon plus the fact tat Ain was argumentative in the board meeting again, she was finally fired. I had high hopes on Ain cos of her alertness n competitiveness....all dashed now cos of you-know-who.
The Student was another issue. Her experiment on the Spritzer mineral water being poured into a balloon, hence making our skin wrinkle-free. WTF??!! It is simply becos of the water giving volume n bloating the balloon up. Try looking at the ED's long face. He was all smiles upon reaching the plant earlier tat day. Her second mistake is the script for the video ad. Her "all the script is in my head" fooled no-one. No-one. She had no script in her head, js the gist of the scenes. She was the cause of the stress-shooting day n she did not bother to owe up, Ain had to defend her.

I luv Jennifer, Masami n Boon Yew. Keep up the good work!!
