Bond: SkyFall

Just came home from watching 007: SkyFall. I like the show. It's not so emotionally gripping - but I enjoy the beautiful movie by a wonderfully skilled cast. Daniel Craig, as buffed, macho, and serious as Bond. 3 beautiful Bond women, and my favorite Judi Dench. I like Ralph Fiennes' straight guy but gentlemanly and Javier Bandem's performance is chilling - so cool.



And guess what, today 11-Nov is Bond's birthday.

Sunday Morning

The title reminded me of Maroon 5 song, so now it's playing in my head.

I exercised this morning, circling Hong Lim Park 5 times - 1 round more than target - yay - on my Vibram shoes. After 2km failure yesterday, tempted by the yummy thought of MacDonalds' fries - I resorted to cook my own fries today.  So my run was preoccupied by the thought on how I would prepare and slices them in 3 different sizes thus batches,

One the chubby finger fries like you normally get on Fish and Chips. They are filling!

Next skinny long ones like McD's which is my fave when some of them crispy and some are meek full of potato goodness.

The last batch, turned out to be the sides. Which I am enjoying now. I didnt have size in middle to make it midsize...





Tada...

so what I wanted to write about is my experience as Publicity Assistant secretary. Maybe through my life I am aggressive to try to make up for that period of time, when I felt I am more deserving as the Main Officer, and how I executed the job. When I look back the only thing that hindered me is that I didn't have the confidence. I wasn't confident enough to stand at public speech. I wasn't ambitious enough to stand up for that post. I felt I didn't have enough friends to support my selection. But in the end, I was egged on to nominate, that must be from my friends because I wouldn't have thought about nomination myself. So because of that, despite I am the driving force and I executed the plan, planned for work distribution, I then feel cheated by that post. By 3rd year I was focusing on my Industrial Attachment, and my Accelerated Masters program that I wouldn't think about running for the second time. But I am proud of myself going through that experience. I just hadn't been thinking or digesting that time enough to realize the underlying subconcious on how it formed me today, aggressive, ambitious, vocal - that was created by joint experience. I am sure that experience must have helped to form this single-minded focus on work and progress.

Well I am proud that I am able to subconsciously realize and assign the funniest person to do lecture announcement, because I know instinctively what would catch people's attention. Assign the most aestatically gifted to paint the banners, etc.






Seeing experiences with fresh eyes

Given my propensity to seek new experiences, I wanted to start a new series of article that explores experiences that are new, new to me, or...
