Some people are just too heavy

There is this guy I had to speak with today. I suppose he would register about 80-90Kg on a weighing scale. But if you speak with him, you would realise he weighs at least 1,000,000 tonnes… :P

I am moving. Don’t want to get squashed…

Secondhand imagination

The beauty of a book is that one can choose the characters. People turn good books in to movies, and one of them is Narnia.

Most of those that come after us will never be able to build the world according to his / her own imagination. It has already been built by someone else. Gutterflower shares her thoughts on Prince Caspian.. imo, the movie was okay (not a disaster), but the book is way much better.

Kung Fu Panda

Looks like I wasn’t the only one to have loved it! Of course LD seemed to have had more fun because of the free additional special effects ;)

To add to what she already said, my friend said “everybody seemed to truly love the show. They really laughed…”

A must see. I booked the tickets online, using eTickets.

Restaurant telephone numbers (LMD)

LMD has a pretty neat (and hopefully updated) list of telephone numbers. You can click here for it. Wish they had a pdf of the list on the site.

Crash – movie

Watched Crash the other day. It was a pretty good movie – didn’t know where it was going as there were a lot of plots built in to one movie. And the twists and turns were… well, engaging.

There was one scene, which got me thinking quite a bit: perhaps because there is at least a small possibility that I might unfortunately face a similar situation. In that scene, a police officer molests a women in front of her husband.

You can watch that particular scene by clicking here. That particular incident tears the couple apart…

I don’t know about you, but if I were with a female friend, and a group of guys come and does something like that, there won’t me much I can do. And that bloody scares me…I would be helpless to a large extent. The only thing that I can think of, is to plan ahead and avoid such situations and places where things can go wrong.

How much tax do you pay?

I am used to people asking me (and I asking them) “when did you do your A/Ls?” (in other words, what is your age)?

The other day, a colleague asked me (accidentally I believe) how much tax I pay? (now wouldn’t that give away my salary?) I didn’t answer; despite he accidentally disclosing his salary…

By the way, do you know your friends’ salaries? I am not speaking about colleagues, real loveable friends’ salaries? Do they know yours?
