Fierce or Friendly?

The calendar boy is finally out in print!! I took it to his class last weekend and teased him about looking so fierce. He quickly took the postcard and tried to hide from view cos there were two other members with him then who also teased him when they saw the postcard.

Haha...sorry lah. This is what you get when you pose for such publicity stunts. The photo really didn't do him justice and looked pretty fierce. Knowing him to be a pretty friendly guy, what you see is not what you get...
Even got him to sign it for "memories sake". He was reluctant...feeling very "pai seh". He didn't like the picture either even though it was pretty difficult posing for it and even got scolded. There were only 6 featured in the Dec issue of New Tide. I guess the rest will be coming next month and the New Icon Feb issue would have another version of the calendar as well.
Hmmm...I think the company is just trying to make a fast buck from us from this stunt. After all even people who can't read a word of chinese is buying the magazine becos of these hunks....good marketing strategy.

Death by Suicide

“I’m alive”, thought Veronika. “Everything’s gonna start all over again. I’ll have to stay in here for a while, until they realize that I’m perfectly normal. Then they’ll let me out, and I’ll see the outside world again.” In the second book by Paulo Coelho I have been exploring, “Veronika Decides To Die” talks about a 24 year old Veronika who seems to have everything – youth and beauty, boyfriends and a loving family, a fulfilling job. But something is missing in her life. So, one cold November morning, Veronika decides to die. She takes a handful of sleeping pills, expecting never to wake up again. But she does…in a mental hospital where she is told that she has only days to live. And as she thinks about her situation now that her suicide was unsuccessful, an inner monologue continues on in her head: “Since people always tend to help others-just so that they can feel they are better then they really are-they’ll give me my job back at the library. Since I only take sleeping pil...

Between the Devil and the...Angel?

And finally the final book of the trilogy, “The Devil and Miss Prym” is the most interesting of all. In this novel about temptation is a thought provoking parable of a community devoured by greed, cowardice and fear as it struggles with the choice between good and evil. A stranger arrives at the remote village of Viscos, carrying with him a backpack containing a notebook and eleven gold bars. He comes searching for the answer to a question that torments him. Are human beings, in essence good or evil? In his sophisticated plot, he shows Chantal Prym, a young, simple girl in the village, where he buried his eleven bars of gold. After showing her the gold bars, he shared his plot to proof his theory that the nature of human beings when confronted with temptation, will always fall. He explained to Chantal, “ Everybody in this village is honest, starting with you. I showed you the gold bar, which would give you the necessary financial independence to get out of the village, to trav...

Hyppo Barney Rocks!!

The ActsGames results were finally out after the long awaited two weeks. And the winner goes to....Hyppo Barney!! It was quite unexpected since the team didn't win alot of games, but did they score big time on the merit points! I was just chatting with one of the committee members and she said that most of us were so focused on the games and superpower that they forgot that what happens behind the scenes are just as important. I guess we learnt a lesson from the Hyppo Barneys...Hip Hip Hurray! Hip Hippo Barney! As for the winner of the cheerleading, the Red Hulks walked away as the champion while Pink Panthers came in second with very close marks. Pink Panthers were the Iron Team for being the team who was the strongest...surprise! surprise! I thought we did were around second or third. The best Sportswoman went to Aunty Molly from Mata Kerbau and best Sportsman went to Alex Au Yong from Red Hulks. Way to go! Finally, well done to all the teams out there, and thanks for that gr...
