This is the man, This is the woman

Japan Style Arena

This is the blogshop in Japan we want to emulate. Cool right!?


Living with an AIM in Life

Just an update for you guys, latest news is that I have gotten over the girl, she rejected me, thinking that we were not good enough for each other.

Well, life goes on. I have moved on.

After all this mess in my life, I managed to speak to my long time buddy, Aloysius, about our joint-business project, SGoutfit. It involves Aloysius, me, Yu Xiang, Ling Fong & Kitty.

It will be a online business but me and Aloysius had come to a conclusion that we need to market the website and increase traffic to our website before we start selling officially, although if comes with much protest from Ling Fong and money minded Yu Xiang.

Being at JobsCentral, I have learned alot on the importance of Marketing, and that without marketing, we would be just as much similar to those small fry blogshops selling clothings as well.

We dare to be different from the others, and thus the idea of marketing. Marketing aggressively, passionately.

I am so excited about this project we have on hand.

Only a few people know about this project right now, but we decided not to renew the SGoutfit name as we find it too ugly, and that we needed a nicer name like closet monster, which sounds more attractive. =)

It's good to work with an aim in life. And i am still waiting for the right girl to come along. =)

The Story of Moment : The Movie.

This is a complex story about Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce), a man whose ability to make new memories is damaged when he is struck in the head while confronting two drug dealers who are attacking his wife at their home in the middle of the night. His wife and one of the drug dealers are killed during the attack. Leonard then devotes his life to finding and killing the second attacker. Before finally achieving his goal, he is manipulated by others who use his condition for their own purposes.

The movie alternates between color and black and white sequences. The black and white sequences proceed in chronological order, but the color sequences proceed in reverse chronological order. The forward black and white scenes and the reverse color scenes alternate until they meet in the middle of the story at the end of the film.

In the two disc DVD set, the second disc contains the movie in chronological order. To play this version of the movie: (1) select the clock icon; (2) select the answer "C" to every multiple choice question; and (3) arrange the tire changing steps in reverse chronological order (3-4-1-2). The movie will then begin to play (with the credits first - in backward order). Some functions (fast forward, chapter skip, etc.) are disabled.

This is a synopsis of the story as presented when put together in chronological order. It is not the plot order presented in the film.

The story starts in black and white. Leonard Shelby wakes up in a room at the Discount Inn puzzled as to why he is there. The phone rings and he speaks with an unknown caller. He tells the caller that he suffers from anterograde amnesia, a condition which makes him unable to create new memories. He describes the condition by detailing the story of Sammy Jankis (Stephen Tobolowsky), who had the same problem.

Leonard describes how one must have a system of notes to deal with the problems and a drive to use them. Leonard says he has the drive that Sammy never had and the viewer sees Leonard's tattoo: "JOHN G. RAPED AND MURDERED MY WIFE" as well as other clues and notes tattooed on his body.

Leonard continues the story and explains that he had just become an insurance investigator when he met Sammy and was assigned to determine whether his condition was covered by his insurance policy. Sammy's condition was not like other cases of anterograde amnesia in that Sammy was unable to learn through conditioning. After additional testing, Leonard says he concluded that Sammy's condition was psychological and the claim was denied because Sammy was not covered for mental illness.

Mrs. Jankis (Harriet Sansom Harris) met privately with Leonard. In trying to placate her, Leonard told her that Sammy should be able to make new memories. She tested Sammy's memory by repeatedly asking him to give her insulin injections. She lapsed into a coma and died from the overdose. Sammy was then confined to a mental institution.

During this conversation, the caller and Leonard talk about Leonard's quest and how the police did not believe the story about the second attacker. The caller identifies himself as a policeman and provides Leonard with additional clues for his quest . Leonard tattoos the fact the second attacker was a drug dealer. The caller identifies the second attacker as Jimmy Grantz and tells Leonard that he has set up a meeting with Jimmy. Leonard agrees to meet the caller in the motel lobby.

In the lobby, Leonard meets a man (Joe Pantoliano) asking him is he is "Officer Gammell". The man insists that Leonard should call him "Teddy" since he is "undercover". Teddy gives Leonard directions to the meeting location and Leonard goes to meet Jimmy at an abandoned building outside of town.

When Jimmy Grantz (Larry Holden) arrives, he recognizes Leonard as the man with the memory condition, demands to know what Leonard is doing there, and asks where Teddy is. Leonard threatens Jimmy with a tire iron and tells him to strip. Jimmy pleads for his life and tells Leonard that there is $200,000 in the trunk of his car for payment of the drugs that Teddy was to have brought to the meeting. Leonard strangles Jimmy, takes a Polaroid photo of his body, and starts putting on Jimmy's clothes. As the photo of Jimmy's body develops, the film gradually goes from black and white into color.

The remaining story is in color, but proceeds in the film in reverse order.

As Leonard drags Jimmy into the basement, he hears Jimmy whisper "Sammy..." before dying. Leonard concludes that if Jimmy knew about Sammy, he was not the second attacker.

Teddy arrives at the scene and tries to convince Leonard that Jimmy was the man he was after. Leonard does not believe him. Teddy finally admits that Jimmy Grantz was a drug dealer who did not have anything to do with his wife's killing. Teddy then tells Leonard that his wife survived the attack. According to Teddy, Sammy Jankis was a fraud who was not even married and it was Leonard's wife who was diabetic. Teddy claims to be the police officer who investigated his wife's murder. He says he believed him about the second attacker and helped him track down and kill the real John G. more than a year ago. Teddy claims that he took a picture of a happy Leonard right after the second attacker was dead. Leonard forgot the killing and began searching for the dead John G. all over again. Teddy tells Leonard there are plenty of John Gs to find and admits that he is even a John G: his full name is John Edward Gammell and his mother calls him Teddy.

Before Lenny can forget Teddy's revelations, he decides to continue the hunt, lying to himself to set himself up to kill Teddy. He records a note on Teddy's photo "Don't believe his lies", records Teddy's license plate number as John G's, and leaves himself a reminder to get a tattoo of the plate number, SG137IU. Leonard ditches Teddy by throwing Teddy's car keys into some weeds. Leonard then leaves his pickup truck at the refinery and drives away in Jimmy's Jaguar, still wearing Jimmy's clothes.

After forgetting Teddy's revelations and the lies to himself, Leonard finds a tattoo parlor and has the license plate number tatooed onto his leg. Teddy sees the Jaguar parked outside and comes in, trying to move the car and get Lenny to get out of town in some new clothes. Leonard sees the note on the back of Teddy's pictures and decides to leave without him.

Leonard finds a note in the pocket of Jimmy's suit coat, which he is wearing. The note is from a Natalie telling Jimmy to come to Ferdy's bar. Not realizing he is wearing Jimmy's clothes and driving Jimmy's car, Leonard thinks the note is for him and goes to meet Natalie (Carrie-Anne Moss). He tells her about his condition. Natalie believes his story after a test.

Natalie takes Leonard to her home and tells him he can stay with her. Leonard recounts what he remembers of the attack. He says he awoke to sounds, got a gun, and found his wife (Jorja Fox) being strangled. Leonard shot one intruder, but a second man clubbed him with a sap and smashed his head into a mirror. He goes on to explain that the cops did not believe there was a second attacker. Leonard tells Natalie that the second attacker was too smart and left the evidence to look like there was only one intruder.

Natalie tricks Leonard into going after a man named Dodd (Callum Keith Rennie), who she claims has been harassing her for the money from Jimmy's prior drug deals. Leonard leaves to look for Dodd. Teddy is waiting for him as he leaves Natalie's home. Teddy tries to warn Leonard about Natalie, but after seeing the "Don't believe his lie" note on Teddy's picture does not believe he. Leonard does decide he shouldn't stay with Natalie and follows Teddy's advice to go to the Discount Inn.

Leonard goes to the Discount Inn. Burt (Mark Boone Junior) at the front desk takes advantage of his condition by renting him a second room even though he had already paid for a first room. Leonard calls an escort service. When the escort arrives, Leonard explains to her that he wants only to relive going to sleep the night of the attack. After falling asleep, the escort wakes him. He asks the escort to leave. He then takes personal items belonging to his wife to a reservoir and burns them.

In the morning, Leonard leaves the abandoned refinery and is spotted by Dodd. Leonard escapes Dodd and goes to Dodd's motel to wait for him. When Dodd returns to his motel room, Leonard beats him and ties him up. Leonard calls Teddy for help in dealing with Dodd. Teddy comes to Dodd's motel room. Leonard and Teddy convince Dodd to leave town.

Returning the favor of getting rid of Dodd, Leonard spends the night at Natalie's. In the morning she agrees to trace the license plate number tatooed on Leonard's leg. Later that day, Natalie gives him the information along with directions to "an abandoned place outside of town" where a guy she knew "used to do bigger deals". Leonard takes it back to his motel. At the motel, Leonard puts the clues together and concludes that Teddy is John Edward Gammell and must be the second attacker. He calls Teddy and they go to the same abandoned building where Jimmy Grantz was killed a few days earlier. Leonard then shoots Teddy in the head.

Back

I haven't been posting for a little while.

Was a little tied up with work, school and everything.

Life has been hectic but i love this kinda life.

Recently, I kinda feel pressurized to be getting a girlfriend, most of my friends are getting attached while I am still here alone and waiting.

I kinda feel that the next one will be the one, the all important girl, and recently, I sort of developed a nice working/friend relationship with a colleague and she seems to be dropping hints at me.

She's a very nice girl but I am not too sure about my feelings, my friends all said that she looks nice and I should give her a chance.

Well, I will take a step at a time and see how it goes. It feels good to back blogging after a long time out.

I promise i will try to blog as much as I can from now on.

With that,
Peace out!!

What if?

What if?




What if one day, while visiting the doctor for a normal diagnosis, and after the diagnosis, the doctor turn around and say



"What I am going to tell you will come as a big shock."



"You have only 6 months to live"




Well, that was what happened in my dream last night, woke up in cold sweat and felt lethargic the whole day.



What if one day this happen in real life?


What will you do?




Well, I remembered in my dream, I sms-ed all my friends on my contact list, and wish them good luck, and i love them and also to take care of themselves.




What if?



What will you do?



With that,
Peace Out!

Thinking of you

This afternoon, i was helping my friend paint his house. At that time, we were also listening to songs on my ipod.




Then suddenly 2 songs came up, one of which was Secondhand Serenade - Fall for You, and the other was a chinese song by Wang Lee Hom.




It's usually very rare for me to listen to chinese songs but whenever i hear this song it reminds me of her.





I know it's been awhile but i find it hard for me to move on.





I still think of her every once in awhile.





I will try my best to move on. Life have to go on without her. Like she said, it's impossible between us now.




With that,
Peace Out!

Joke of the day!

Today, as I was driving to work, I got a flat tire.



While attempting to replace said tire, I got mugged.




The guy took all my money, my iPod, cellphone, and CDs.




When I finally called my boss to explain my situation, he fired me.




Why?



Because I was late and had an "overactive imagination."




Hahaha.



With that,
Peace out!

Relationship Status

Yesterday while in the interview with jobscentral, they asked me a question.



They asked if i was attached.




While it was meant as a joke on their side, it certainly woke me up for awhile.




After that they mentioned that it's better to be single if i get the job as i might have to focus on my job.



I thought about it and felt the same way. Maybe i should heed their advice. Or should i not?




With that,
Peace Out!

The extremes!

I was wasting my life away till somebody intervened and made me realize the potential within me.




Don't waste the talent God gives you.




If you're gonna be a saint, be a really good one.




If you're gonna be a gangster, be the baddest motherfucker on earth.




With that,
Peace Out!

The story about the red snapper

There once was a red snapper.



He was the biggest fish in his community, all the other fishes were afraid of him.



One day red snapper went out to the big sea & he still thinks and acts as if he's the biggest.



Little did he know, he crossed the path of a shark.



Hahaha.



With that,
Peace Out!

Tahan!




The title says all. Tahan!



Hahaha.



With that,
Peace Out!

Directions

And to think that i was heading somewhere...



I need some directions.



Help?



With that,
Peace Out!

Rat Race


Step out of the rush
And take a break from the rat race
Take a deep breath
and open your eyes...

See the beauty that surrounds you
in the trees
in the trash
in the laughter of a child
or a demented hobo

Step back
and be entertained by
the madness of this world that we call life

Dilemma

Should i or should i not?

Love knows no boundaries.

Love is about making sacrifices.

What a wonderful world.

Life is unpredictable, make full use of it

Hahaha.

Peace Out!

The demise of my grand-father.

This blog is where i normally pen my thoughts and true feelings. And only close friends have my blog address.

I don't normally show my true self on facebook, always prefering to show a happier side of me.

Today, i saw my mother crying in my grand father's room, immediately, i felt tears rolling down my eyes. I felt anguish and the sorrow of a daughter losing his father. Yet i do not know what to say to her.

Let's just say love is a powerful emotion, and i truely felt it today. I could feel my mum's sorroww in her cries for her father. And the lesson learnt is to cherish those around you and not take them for granted.


I miss my grand father as well.




With that,
Peace Out!
