Invest in self!

Leion — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 15:51:46 +0000

In this new year, I want to do more investment, especially in myself. It is high time I get some improvements in myself and my skills – spiritually and physically! Time to hit the books and get some brain workout!

I am one undervalued counter!

You are the Apple of my eye (???, ????????)

Leion — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 17:48:55 +0000

???, ???????? is a very light hearted movie about puppy love and how a group of guys liked and woo-ed the top girl student in their class. There were many jokes about the male organ but I especially like the uncertain period of romance in all relationship. Too bad in this relationship for the main characters in the movie, the romance did not blossom. They almost got together but broke off for a silly reason. No happy ending to all movies. I am still disturbed by this. However, it is also this element that helped to relate the story to the audience’s real live experience.

Towards the end, the male character suggested that in an alternate universe, he and that female lead might be together. This got me thinking…

This movie is good. I recommend watching?

In Time

Leion — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 10:50:56 +0000

In Time is a futuristic movie where by people use time of their life as currency. The rich has all the time in the world and they can live forever. The poor struggle and live from hand to mouth. I think this movie reflected the current situation. There was not meaningful ending but gave some food for thought. Something to ponder about.

Real Steel

I went in to watch Real Steel thinking that this will be a mediocre movie. Boy I was wrong. This movie is awesome. I got excited over the movie that I felt hot in the air-conditioned cinema.

The Thing

Leion — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 11:30:18 +0000

This is the first movie I watched with B. I went in to the movie with quite high expectations on it. In the end, the story line was weak and the effects were nothing to boast about. B agreed that the movie was not up to her exceptions as well. But I am glad for the great company.

Vocation change update

Leion — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 14:29:04 +0000

It has been a flash and I am already 4 months into my new vocation. I must say that I am more or less settled into the new environment.

Things change fast. Of the 2 colleagues I am most comfortable working with, one has left and one is going to leave. By next month, I will be the the most senior member in the team, besides the team leader. This is not something I expect, but I am here to learn. I shall take anything that comes my way.

Watch out! Leion is here!

Hello Ghost

Leion — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 13:30:18 +0000

I saw the Hello Ghost movie poster and told myself I want to watch this. No. The poster was not attractive, but it just caught my eye. I managed to get free tickets for this movie which helped ensure I watch this.

The show was rather fast paced with a man trying to kill himself. He was always unsuccessful. The last time he tried, he was rescued and found out he could see ghosts. He saw 4 of them. All 4 of them keep sticking to him which made him frustrated and he decided to grant them one wish each to help them settle their unsettled worldly matters. There are bits and pieces of funny scenes as the man’s body was taken over by the ghosts. The way he helped the ghosts is presented like short stories. Every relating to him and the ghost, as well as a female nurse whom the main lead liked. I got a little bored towards the 4th ghost’s quest as all the requests seemed lame.

There was a sudden twist in the story line after the main lead shouted for all the ghosts to get out of his life. At this point, everything become reasonable and clear. It was a touching moment. From this point onwards to the end, the whole cinema was filled with sobs. I can hear half the cinema crying. The show is this touching. I shall not reveal the spoiler here. Go find out yourself.

I recommend it strongly

Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides

Leion — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 05:40:10 +0000

This is the 4th part to the Pirates series and I caught only the first and the second of the series. Truthfully, I went into the cinema without a gist of what the story will be like. Before the movie started, I was trying to recall about the first 2 parts of the series but nothing was recalled.

The show was interesting with Johnny Depp as the pirate captain. He is witty and funny and the reason for me to catch the show. A side note: The Spanish lady in the show is hot.

X-Men: First Class

Leion — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 12:40:57 +0000

I have always loved the X-Men series but this movie did not thrill me much. The movie is about the how the X-men was formed. There was not as much fighting as I would like to have and worst of all, no wolverine, my favorite character. Furthermore, it seemed that this movie wanted to explain how Xavier lost his use of his legs albeit in a hurry and also not to how I remember. Still, this movie provided me 2 hours of entertainment.

Kung Fu Panda 2

Leion — Sun, 29 May 2011 09:30:33 +0000

The graphics for this movie is good. I can see the water effects, the trees very life-like. I think this is amazing. I like the presentation of the show from beginning to end.

The show is self explanatory and I think one can catch this show without needing to watch the first one. In this show, the main thing is about inner peace. which I think Po did get it well at the end. His parentage is well explained here and it left a hint for a 3rd sequel – which is good. I look forward to watching the next show.

Vocation Change!

Leion — Sat, 28 May 2011 05:29:28 +0000

During my birthday last year, I had a wish to change my vocation. I managed to achieve my wish recently.It came as a surprise. I had not been actively looking out for the change but a change in market conditions led to many calls to me. I have left my resume on a few recruitment sites many many many moons ago. The calls just came to me and I went on a few interviews with the interesting ones. I ad rejected many insurance related careers. It was a coincidence that many people had mentioned to me before that I could consider a career in that direction. Well that is a story for another time.

Back to topic, I was dreaming myself going into a more lucrative sector. My career at the ex-company was finally about to pay off in less than 2 months then this offer came long. I was 98% to the next level. I thought long and hard and decided to give up my current status and to start anew in the new sector.

I am already 2 weeks into the new work place. I must say that the team, arrangement and organisation could be better. But the opportunity comes where there is disorder. I am picking up new things and I want to learn more!

The choice for change will not be a wrong one and I will ensure so. All the best Leion.

Secured Facebook, unsecured applications

Leion — Sat, 23 Apr 2011 05:59:46 +0000

I have always been a supporter for secured connection whenever possible andI will always connect via https if it is available. I have been waiting for https connectivity for Facebook for a long time and it was made available recently.

The disappointing part is that some (or all?) of the application are not supporting this yet. I still get requests to change the the unsecured http connections in order to access the applications. The message below shows one of such requests. I feel it defeats the purpose of going with the secured connection in the first place, and I refuse to go back to http and hence not using those apps. Let us see when the applications will take up https connections.

Switch to regular connection (http)?
