Gotcha! Part 2
Gotcha once again! Just to clarify that I did not go to the Falklands recently :-)
At least the hard work is paying off.

Music & Lyrics
Managed to catch the Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore's movie over the weekend. I must say the storyline really suck big time. Very poorly stringed together and somehow it felt that the writers had lots of great ideas and were forcefeeding it into the movie.
However, there are lots of pluses on the movie as well. Firstly the acting were genuine and sincere. Not going did Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore stand out, Brad Garrett (more popularly known as Raymond's brother on Everybody Loves Raymond) and Kirsten Johnson (the tall chick from 3rd Rock from the Sun - and man she has really put on weight) were outstanding.
The bonus of this movie were the songs. I was surprising impressed by Hugh Grant's singing. Most of the songs were very well-written and the songs are really stuck in my head. I reproduced the lyrics of Hugh Grant's Don't Write Me Off Just Yet:

It’s never been easy for me
To find words that go along with a melody
But this time there’s actually something on my mind
So please forgive these few brief awkward lines
Since I met you my whole life has changed
It’s not just my furniture you’ve re-arranged
I was living in the past but somehow you’ve brought me back
And I haven’t felt like this since before Frankie said relax
And now I know based on my track record
I might not seem like the safest bet
All I’m asking you is
Don’t write me off just yet
For years I’ve been telling myself the same old story
That I’m happy to live off my so-called former glories
But you’ve given me a reason to take another chance
Now I need you despite the fact that you’ve killed all my plants
And now I know that i’ve already blown more chances
Than anyone should ever get
All I’m asking you is don’t write me off just yet
Don’t write me off just yet…

Batam!
Apologies for the late posting. I had my yearly divisional retreat at Batam this year (really missed the company of last year and our eating bonaza). Had to wake up super early to catch the ferry and we only managed to reach the resort at 9am so as to maximize our time there.
Did the usual discussion about our workplan and it was a quick one as everyone was raring to go for the leisure section. We started with go-karting straight after the discussion. It was a hot afternoon but I think everyone enjoyed the adrenaline in such high speeds. Probably helped me lost some weight as well. :-)
Lunch was pretty sucky but the massage was really good (Am looking for a better one when I go to Bangkok at the end of the month). And that's marks the end of the retreat. Pretty rush in a sense but it was great getting out of the country!
Time really flies. I am going to mark my 2nd anniversary working soon.
