Tak bermaya

Feeling totally lethargic today and look pale and ill. Not feeling so well and I suspect influenza is to be blamed. Worse is there is a tight timeframe project on going, I'm having class in downtown today and my Zertifikat Deutsch is around the corner. Hmm... that reminds me to apply for leave on exam day on the 29 Nov and 3 Dec. Anyone has tips on how to survive on such event, do drop me a comment or so. Just want to keep this blog updated and on going. Also, do give some comments what you guys who like to know if I happened to come across such information. By the way, as a reminder of the previous post. For those who still have my stuff with them, do return it. Don't tell me your pet ate my stuff which is virtually impossible, coz most of it is Compact Disc. Unless pets have enzyme that can digest/break down polycarbonate.

Gimme Gimme Gimme What I Want!

Up til lately, I figure out that some of my stuff is gone missing. So, I do some stock checking. Voila, all my missing stuff is actually with 3rd Party (hmm.. should stop using this term, too much related to work).

People, I hereby announce and pledge everyone of you who still have my stuff with them, could you kindly return it to their respective owners. "Action" will be taken for those who refuse to do so.

I manage to caught some of them and to my surprise, one of them is already in Singapore. Geez, should have alerted that person earlier coz now I have to wait til that person is back in the country to hand over the missing goods.

Disclaimer: I'm not trying to be mean, but just as a precaution measure to counter the "Out of sight, out of mind" syndrome, which my stuff will most likely end up in the dumpster as time goes by. Names are changed/neutralised to protect privacy of that person.

European Union Film Festival

Year 2004 is coming to an end and it's usually pack with whole lot of stuff. Nope, I'm not going to talk about the "not what I've expected" Computer Fair (and I don't want to imagine how's PC Fair going to be), but it's the time for Film Festival! Used to be called European Film Festival (and I prefer to keep it that way, as it was free screening), this year screening will most likely to be a paying affair (well, if you were to ask them, they most likely will be telling you it's to off-set mountaining cost that involved in running such film fest). Anyway, location wise it's from Damansara Height to GSC cinemas. List of film is also available at the cinema website. The selection of film is ok, but not what I've expected. Selection of German language film is not as good. I Love Vienna had been shown in 2002 edition of film festival and the rerun is not so necessary. Mostly Martha well, I've seen it as well. Annaluise and Anton was shown just last month on Satellite channel Astro (according to the German month guide). Looks like I'm going for some French film this time. French film seems to be a crowd puller. I still remember French Film Festival in Mid Valley for the past 2 years. Year 2002 saw the movie Amelie screening for just 2 shows and all of it was sold out. Last year 8 Women crowd was quite ok, the first show was a big hit, full house when I was there. (I wonder what happened to my copy of 8 Women, my dear friend) . This year film fest will be showing The Spanish Apartment. After reading Alliance Française's C'est à l'Alliance newsletter review on that film, I'm so intrigued to go for that show. Still undecided whether to go for the film festival as it's almost to be on the same time as my Zertifikat Deutsch examination. I have faxed in the competition form for 2 free tickets, and if I do get it, then I shall go for it. If not, well, most likely going only for one or two if there isn't any collision of timing.
