Wake up and smell the river

The other day, my Air Asia flight was delayed for 30 minutes. No, this is no Air Asia bashing.... I mean 30 minutes is nothing; expect that at all times; compared to what happened to my sister. She was delayed half a day.... and I am not exaggerating, at all. However, the seat on my Kuching-bound flight was much more comfortable, even though the table was falling apart..... screws missing and all that lol. Not that people use them anyway.

Next week I am supposed to start work. But I have interviews next week. I am not sure what to do. Not sure if signing the contract was the wisest move, because I knew I was not going to stay there anyway. Maybe I need to get leave with no pay..... or half-day leave, if such thing exists. Only a few days at work and already starting to dissappear and go missing in action.... I am going to make some people a little bit not happy.

Watched Kingdom of Heaven today. They were screening it for the last time today, and I didnt want to miss it. I think it is a good movie..... despite bad reviews. I am a sucker for movies with ancient people/anything ancient/wars though. I think the fight and war scenes were done so much better than anything I have seen in other movies. The only thing was..... they got it wrong with the muslims-praying scene. Having said that, they never got it right anyway, and it is annoying. People dont pray when azan is being called lah stupid.

Here is my list of some good movies that I have seen the past few months, in no particular order, and some are old ones, not necessarily released this year.

1. Samara (Angry deers aside.... this one scared the hell out of me)
2. Revenge of the Sith (Not really a StarWars fan.... but how Vader comes to life.... to good to be missed)
3. City of God (About life in the Rio slums.... simply stunning)
4. Garden State
5. Prozac Nation (We who went through stressful college.... can relate to this)
6. Mystic River (No, this is no wordy boring movie, this is fantastic, and Sean Penn doesnt overact, he is one hell of an actor)
7. The Station Agent (You can almost taste how good the food is, when the characters are cool with just eating, and no talking)
8. Shaun of the dead
9. Lemony Snickett
10. Pieces of April

There you go.... my guide to some good movies.
