Google Chrome 5

Just installed the latest Google Chrome 5 Beta a few days ago and I’m LOVIN it!  No I am not going into the technical aspects of it but what I will say it’s that it’s SUPER FAST and Finally I’m able to do online banking with it! So looks like for the next year or so, this will be my DEFAULT BROWSER OF CHOICE!

cheers mates! 🙂

What Have I Been Busy With?

Well for starters I was trying to help the kids prepare for the mid year examinations. And even after all that effort they still didn’t do too well. So that means they will need to work harder after the school Holidays.

Also in preparation for Seth’s first holy communion, there have been numerous church meetings to attend and little projects to do. It is indeed very different from the time I had mine. Overall I think it is a far more enriching experience.

Instead of blogging, I’ve taken a greater interest in tweeting and communicating with friends via facebook. This effort has somehow brought me closer to some of them. Long lost friends and family now have a common playground to exchange thoughts and experiences.

More importantly it has given me another avenue to share my inner most thoughts which I have penned through short quotes. Perhaps one day I will compile them into a book to share with my kids, that is if I ever write more than the twenty eight I have currently.

Anyhow the thing that is troubling me right now, apart from a work project that I keep putting off. Is that my kids may need glasses! Why? I myself never required them till now, and my pair is only for reading which I seldom even use. Environment? PSPs? Genetic? Well I suppose it could be anything or a combination of some or all.

Will try to have more regular updates, if not then at least you can find me on facebook or twitter.
Cheers

What do I mean?…..well after my post night shift I was feeling tired and the gloomy rainy weather didn’t help my disposition.   So for fun I posted this entry on my wall on Facebook which read….

On Love

Love in it’s purest form is given unconditionally, without when, why or where.

Can we love one another with conviction armed with a higher set of morals, when we are surrounded by a cloud of darkness from within and from the wanton acts of others?

I say we lean into the light by our endeavours!

Movie Ip Man2

Starring – Donnie Yen, Simon Yam, Siu-Wong Fan,Sammo Hung Kam-Bo, Ka Tung Lam, Darren Shahlavi …

Plot: Centering on Ip Man’s migration to Hong Kong in 1949 as he attempts to propagate his discipline of Wing Chun martial arts.

Well unlike the first one, the fight sequences are very much different and perhaps even packs less of a punch.  However the overall storyline is still pretty good and Sammo Hung larger than life presence is as always welcomed.  Perhaps I was seated too close to the screen, hence most of the fist fighting was like a blur to me unlike the first one. In the first one, I could almost feel the blows! Blow by blow…

Life’s lessons on dignity, respect, honour, tolerance,charity and much more is nicely woven into the movie storyline just like in it’s predecessor.

If like me you rated the first one a 9 then you’ll probably rate this one a 7.5 which needless to say is still worth watching!

Lunch With Jade & Eileen @ Tea Cosy

Finally got to meet up with the Teen Supermodel Jade, together with the MTV Video Editing Expert Eileen…*Blinks* Okay Just kidding….on their professions!  Anyhow….

Lunch was at a very sweet looking place with an equally sweet name ‘Ten Thousand Angels aka Tea Cosy.  Unless you’re there for the set lunch special, the prices are above average.  Food tasted quite good, though presentation was average.

Will let the pics do the rest of the talking….

Movie Iron Man 2 (2010)

Starring: Robert Downey, Don Cheadle, Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson

Director: Jon Favreau

If you were expecting non-stop, comic book style fighting action then you’ll be utterly disappointed.  I on the other hand, loved their chosen route on character development and story telling.  It was akin to watching a Star Trek movie, where you have both the Science and human intricacies all woven in together.

We also get to see the highly talented Robert Downey expand on his brilliant scientist,playboy,suave billionaire, role as he explores the often dark side of human nature when faced with  the likelihood of an untimely death.  Even Gwyneth Paltrow was brilliant in her repressed role as Stark’s right-hand, nanny,love interest!

Don Cheadle is indeed a welcome replacement as Lt Col James Rhodes as he lends his character more than just credibility. And how can we ever forget the visually stunning Scarlett Johansson with her slick moves as Natasha Romanoff aka Natalie Rushman.  As for the villain in the movie, if they were going for a ‘never judge a book by it’s cover look’….well then Mickey Rourke nailed it! I mean a beefy, highly tattooed physicist?! Well then again this is a Character out of a comic book named Crimson Dynamo. 😆

Well this movie definitely gets two thumbs up from me!
