The BOURNE

Jason Bourne movie is now in the 3rd sequels.

The Bourne Identity
The Bourne Supremacy
and The Bourne Ultimatum



What I like about Bourne movies is you can win by being smart without uncessary violence... well, in Bourne case, you gotta be quite fit and well-trained as well :)

Quote of the moment

My boss assigned me a new task. He simply said something like "there's some problem about delay payment, get info from all teams and recommend how to resolve it"...

With my puzzled facial expression, my boss added

"It's not going to be easy. If it were easy, we would do it ourselves already...that's why you are here"

I don't know how you feel, but I felt very good after hearing that.

Listen to Dhamma on TV the other day.

The monk taught that life is like a glass with clean water (good deed) and salt (bad thing/sin) in it.

If we did a lot of bad things, the water will be very salty becuz there's more salt than fresh water.

On the other hand, if we keep doing good, like pouring more clean water into the glass, although salt sill there but it won't taste as bad as before.

Transformer

very good movie. I really like it.

I usually like movie about cars, army, soldier, comedy...this one is a creative combination of those + robots.

I watched it in the IMAX theater so the wide screen and big sound was all there. By the middle of the movie, I was totally part of the story....forgot all headache things I had earlier that day. I guess that's the quality of "good" movie I'm always looking for.

The movie was longer than I thought... around 2 1/2 hours.

Re-U

This seems to be the most active groups of friends in terms of meeting.




Very nice to meet after a while. Glad to see Pen all lively, didn't seem like someone who had operation a few months ago. Same with P Tuk, tall, pretty and slim as before...didn't look like a new mommy of 3-months baby.

Will be a lot nicer if they didn't let us wait for food forever. :D

Rama IX bridge at 7pm

There's traffic jam again by Rama IX bridge so I took a few shorts.




Trick for taking night picture:
Take picture when the sky is dark blue, not when completely dark (when the sky is black, picture will look flat)

Hola!

Hola! I'm back from Leadership Journey with my colleagues in Spain. Many of them I've been working with in the past 7 months without meeting them in person. So this is very exciting to me. and they are all niiiiiice people!

The weather during the time was very nice - sunny in 25-29C. Sun up before 6am (not sure exactly when becuz I wasn't able to catch the sunrise in the morning :P) and sunset around 9:30 PM. I've been outside (mainly) walking the entire time that the sun was up...imagine how tanned I would get right now :).

Madrid and Barcelona are so different. Each is charming in its own way. Madrid is an older city...not as well plotted as Barcelona. Things are a bit more expensive in BCN, for example Metro ticket 1 ride is 1Euro in Madrid but 1.24Euro in BCN. Anyway, Metro in BCN seemed to be more well planned...more convenient in terms of the location of stations.

Enough said... here are a few of pictures from this trip...I was out of memory card space so I only got around 800 pictures...hmm have to plan better next time!
