Hellboy 2

Saturday, July 12, 2008 / Comments (0) / by sw

Watched Hellboy 2 today, the movie isn't too bad. The CG is good but storyline is so-so, at most average. Did the producer included some kungfu flick? The prince was doing somersault as if he is in some kungfu movie.

An Ok movie only. I am keeping my fingers crossed for the Dark Knight. Ironman and Spiderman are somehow difficult to surpass.

If i have a choice, i would rather rent the DVD when it's out for Hellboy 2.


I am a Machiavellian

*Grin* Did 2 tests, the results vary, but none is good...hahaha, what could you expect if you are doing tests like this.


First test

You Are Somewhat Machiavellian



You're not going to mow over everyone to get ahead...

But you're also powerful enough to make things happen for yourself.

You understand how the world works, even when it's an ugly place.

You just don't get ugly yourself - unless you have to!






Second test


Score 37-50
High Machiavellian. You are classified by the test as High Machiavellian. Practical to the point of being a hardheaded cynic, not very trusting of human nature, andready to deal with what is, rather than what ought to be.High Machiavellians are pragmatic, maintain emotional distance, believe that the end justify the means. Generally High Machiavelliansmanipulate more, are persuaded less and can persuade others more. High Machiavellians flourish in face-to-face situations, in situations withminimal rules and regulations.High Machiavellians can be successful in jobs where bargaining or negotiation are key or where commission is involved.

I scored 37, just made it to the high side and that's not a piece of good news.
Did it out of curiousity.

Lousy F1 service

Bought my ticket in June at Singpost, and was told that i could collect my ticket anytime in July. But when i went down to singpost last saturday, i was told that the ticket has yet arrived. I coulnd't collect then.

The manager wanted me to leave my contact so she could call me when the ticket arrived.

This is bad. It was also printed on my receipt that the ticket can be collected in July. Have to call and check this weekend.

Anyway, i just borrowed a book "Dialogue in Hell", a machiavellian book. Just started reading, not too bad. Anyone who agrees with Machiavelli should consider this book.

It's already halfway through the year 2008, time moves so fast that i hardly realised it. Sometimes we just take time for granted and we knew that time waits for no one.

I am going to add 1 more year to my age in a couple of months time. Hmm... maybe it's time for me to settle down, but i am still enjoying my life now. Freedom is priceless! So much more could have been achieved.

How long more to retirement?? I am tired of work already, not in the near future at least..... maybe it's my job. It's hard to persist without passion. Do i enjoy going to the office everyday? Do i enjoy my work? NAH. I will have to find a job soon, before the end of the year, been dragging this for too long already.

I failed my quit smoking resolution..:( i will try again tho.

I am going to watch this movie!!

Got myself a Nokia E71 today to get a 6 month subscription-free promotion, i won't be paying sub fees for the next 6 months from now.

Got the phone after a $150 off.

I have not been using nokia phone for about hmm... 10 years? This is the second time i am using.



Phone is still charging, so let's see the features once the charge is over.

Euro 2008 is OVER! Missed my sleep, goodbye to swollen eyes. Didn't win anything for euro bet, i actually bought Holland to win the champ, but then football is so unpredictable.

Spain won, they played good football, the final was entertaining. Good game.

Unexpected!

Now i can go to sleep early.

Getting a new phone soon, the one which i have been waiting until my neck long, Nokia E71, nice and sleek. $498 now, quite cheap.

Going shopping this weekend. I won't be going to the tailoer this month, tailored too many clothes, i could hardly fit into some of them because i have put on some weight.

Lotsa things to do over the weekend. But it's still early, it's only Wednesday, guess i should look for another job soon, i no longer enjoy my current job. I was working for the money since the first day i started work, well i guess, i really need to do something i really enjoy otherwise i won't have the passion to carry on for a long time.

Anyway, well done SPAIN!
