Lust, Caution


This movie created a big Hoo-Ha even before it was screened. The newspapers, media and all the movies review about the making of the movie, the actors & actress.

Finally, I went to watch the movie with my colleagues last night at Plaza Singapore. I have heard so much about the movie from friends and yes… about the sex scenes… call me ‘hum sap’ if you like la… but this is one movie that the ever cutie Tony Leung stripped down… needless for me to say more...

The movie started off with the story line back in Shanghai during the World War II era. The main actress Tang Wei played a Chinese college student who gets involved with a drama club after meeting Wang Lee Hom, a fellow classmate where her life began to change. She was to put her acting in real life dangerous mission which turned her into Mrs. Mak only to ensnare with Mr. Yee plays Tony Leung who is a major Japanese collaborator into an affair so that Lee Hom and his cohorts can kill him. Eventually, they did not succeed in killing but got themselves killed instead!!!

Well… the sex scenes, mmmmh… I would say nothing spectacular about it. It wasn’t those ‘turn-on’ scenes where you will ‘woohhhh’ about but somehow, the 1st scene was kinda violent. The 2nd & 3rd sex scenes were slightly better, more passionately but somehow don’t have the ‘turn-on’ factor. I found some scenes quite unnecessary rather.

The whole movie lasted about 21/2 hours and I was almost dozing off as it was slow. I couldn’t wait for it to end as soon as possible. I guess I am no ‘arty farty’ to appreciate such artistic movie.

Casual Gathering@GM’s Place

Last night, our colleague Philip organized a casual gathering at our GM’s place. We reached at about 6:30pm and some of us started to input the songs to the Karaoke system while some of us prepare the dining table for our light dinner.

We bought the best pepper crab in Singapore (which is from Still Road) and it was sponsored by my Kai-ye Steven Ng. There were $300 worth of crabs for about 20 of us which was slightly too much. Anyway, it was so delicious. Besides the crabs, we also ordered pizzas from Pizza Hut and KFC…

Nishida-san, Kontani-san & Horiguchi-san began to dance while GM was singing the song, which they planned to perform during our dinner & dance. They were trying to follow the dance steps in the MTV but it became kinda messy!

We, as usual, hanging out at the other side of the living room and Patrick started to try the Cigar, which our GM repeatedly reminded us that it was very EXPENSIVE. We all tried the cigar but I personally thought that it tasted horrible!

After some time of warming up, most of us went crazy with silly songs and were dancing in the world of our own at a corner of the bar area. It was like a little mambo jumbo and all of us just simply loved the songs that we chose and danced like we were at Zouk!!

About 10:30pm, we left GM’s place to MOS. Nishida-san, Kontani-san & Horiguchi-san also joined us at MOS. When we reached there, it was already 11pm but there were no crowd on the dance floor yet. Nishida-san was kinda excited about it and wanted to be the 1st on the dance floor.

After some time, the 3 Japanese bosses went down to the dance floor and continued to dance the night away. We were dancing at the main arena for a good 1-hour and then brought them over to the R&B side for another ½ hour. At about closed to 1am, the 3 Japanese bosses left.

Then Philip, Hweiling & I went to dance in the Retro Room and was having fun till this stupid ‘Ang Mo’ came to me and danced with me… he was probably drunk as he went round the dance floor and danced with all the ladies… not that he was nice but he somehow forced the ladies to dance with him. When he came to dance near me, I simply danced away from him and the bouncer noticed the situation.

We left around 1:15am, as we were very tired. I guessed I have used up ¾ of my energy at GM’s place, as it was really fun.

Thank you Philip for organizing…

MTV


Today is somewhat a ‘special’ morning to our GM as he is all set to be a STAR! We are filming our office’s very own MTV. He was the Producer, Director, Planer and Actor. *headache*

Our GM was already very excited for the past few days and had even asked our department what we planned to do for our part in the MTV but somehow not all of us are keen to be on it. To be honest, many of us are camera shy, some just couldn’t be bothered about the shoot and most of us thought it’s a total waste of money.

The camera-man arrived at our office at 10am and began to shoot our ‘STAR’, that’s of course the GM who danced with our colleague Wendy Su in his office. Thereafter, it was our turn (ADM/HR/ENE) to shoot. Though it was kinda silly and not all of us are into it but somehow we managed to pull through that few minutes doing funny dance and actions. That went on to the rest of the departments.

Our GM, being the Director, went round to check on how the rest of the staff ‘performed’ for the shoot. At Chemical Department, he even directed them what to do for their part and they had no choice but to follow his instructions. It was silly but fun to watch.

At the end of it, we were called to his room to have a mass dance where some of us actually enjoyed that coz’ it was our own free-style dancing… though still very silly… hahahaah….

The whole shoot lasted for the whole morning. After editing, it will be shown during our Annual Dinner & Dance! Man… am I going to die laughing or what!!!
