and the oscar goes to....

reese witherspoon? i'm still in shock. but hey...i'm glad ang lee and philip seymour hoffman won for best director and best leading actor respectively. and i'm thrilled that 'crash' won for best picture. overall...i'm pretty satisfied with the results. except for REESE WITHERSPOON????

anyway...feels like i haven't been back in ages. well...in 2 months i'll be back for good and then i'll be wishing i was somewhere else. yes...i've handed in my resignation. i don't think singapore is the place for me. i do love my job though...but in the end...i don't find myself happy there even though i love my job. so...it's back to work in kl...earning malaysian ringgit. i'm looking forward to it though. being in singapore and earning singapore dollars has turned me into quite the shopaholic. i guess having that extra cash around doesn't help ease the habit.

someone mentioned the other day that i don't look and sound like someone who's born and bred in malaysia. i of course was curious to know why. apparently...i speak proper english and without the malaysian accent. ok...granted...i might not speak with a malaysian accent...i don't even know what accent i speak in. definitely not singaporean. but to say that i speak proper english...hence i don't sound like a malaysian is just an insult. we don't live on trees and we don't hunt for food and we don't wear loin clothes. i'm amazed that some singaporeans still think that we malaysian are living in the dark ages. have they not been anywhere but jurong and changi? have they not been exposed to the media?

on top of that...i went to a seminar last week and the speaker could not speak english to save her life. 'cat' became 'kate' and 'note' became 'knot'. i mean common....cat? it's like the first words we learn. A for Apple...B for Boy...C for CAT!!!!! and on the preview to the apprentice on channel 5 the voiceover says "next on the apprentice...a task that is of a galaxy proportion"....WTF??? and they think we can't speak english. granted...there are a certain amount of people in malaysia who can't converse in proper english. so you know what...we're both rocking in the same boat.

movie watch in one word:-

- capote....awesome
- good night and good luck....short
- lord of war....educational
- prime...hilarious
- breakfast on pluto....freaky
- final destination 3 (i was forced)....flawed

didn't get to watch syriana cause my damn dvd player didn't wanna play the disc. planning to go to the dvd shop to see what other hidden treasures i can dig up.
