Movie Review: Incredible Hulk

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Hulk is one of the comic characters that I never actually get used to. Aside from that, there is no stopping them movie makers to bring Hulk to the big screen. If you have remembered Ang Lee’s disappointing Hulk, you won’t get disappointed with this. Hulk is powerful, agile and does what it’s supposed to do; true to its comic root.

Movie Review: Get Smart

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Get Smart. Maxwel Smart.

Watching Get Smart is like seeing Don Adams using the best anti wrinkle cream. It’s like he never aged. If Steve Carell wasn’t famous at all, I would have thought I saw Don Adams. Great show, great laugh, just don’t expect this to be a James Bond movie. This is supposed to be a spoof that will bring out laughs. Fortunately, the Get Smart franchise has gathered its own cult that could rival the Austin Powers series.

The End Is Nigh

New theme today; nothing interesting, I just feel need a change of style for my eyes.

Time is a luxury that I don’t have. Everyday it’s been a busy day till I do not have the time to post. Yep, the pressure is on as my team is on its way to transition. The change is uncertain. We’re drafted to work with India, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. While the 4 countries are supportable, India is the only country with customer issues. Even an Indian colleague hated the way they speak and complain their accent in unbearable.

There was one time he scolded an Indian customer: “I am an Indian myself but I’m ashamed to talk to you.” He said talking to them is like strapping on equestrian clothing. They’re tight and neat but they’re mightily uncomfortable.

So my new challenge is to handle such picky customers who had too high regards on our system.

Metal Gear Solid 4

You want to know something funny? Here’s one guy who have attended the Metal Gear Solid 4 launch and got himself a game. He bought the game, without actually owning a Playstation 3 but he thought it was worth it. He took it to the office the next day and started showing it to a fellow friend when a cheap bastard came by and asked this guy to lend him the game. He said he was a real hard core fan and would really want to play the game.

I was puzzled. I asked him why he didn’t get himself a copy since he was a fan himself. He said he rather get the cheap copy when they will publish the game a year later after the craze has cooled down.

Hard core my ass.

I asked that guy why he would even bother lending to such a cheap person. He said they’ve been friends for 15 years and he felt bad if he’s not lending the game to him.

Is it really fair to use friendship to be such a cheap ass?

My Nightmare is Back!

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

I’d be lying if I say I didn’t expect this massive reorganization to go smoothly. The asshole manager is back to ruin my life and I’ll make sure I stay few steps ahead of him to minimize holes on my back. He tried backstabbing me a few times even when I’m far away regarding some LCD monitor but I hope that I will make sure that all my tracks are covered and there are no weakness exposed to this backstabbing bastard.
