The girl with the dragon tattoo

最近都没看戏因为都没什么好戏，看戏一向很挑剔，没有好的导演，演员，剧本我就不看。 但是当Stieg Larsson的"龙纹身的女孩"英文版上映时我的心一直痒痒的想去看，因为之前的瑞典版本就大获好评。自然觉得英文版的可能不如瑞典版本，毕竟作家本身是瑞典人，可是又不懂瑞典文只好靠英文版入门。

作家Stieg Larsson,本身就是个悲剧，从小家境贫穷，从事记者和作家职业，呕心呖血写了”千禧年三部曲"就因心脏病离世。留下这部爆红大卖的Millenium Trilogy,却无缘享受自己努力的成果。
第一部，龙纹身的女孩， the girl with the dragon tattoo
第二部，玩火的女孩， the girl who played with fire
第三部，踢蜂窝的女孩， the girl who kicked the hornets nest.

拉了胖猪一起到戏院，窝在里面三个小时，不简单。 刚开始节奏慢，铺着剧情介绍男女主角， Blomkvist和Lisabeth， 感觉导演很用心。 随着女主角Lisabeth的背景越来越清晰，她冷酷又智慧的面对生命中所有的磨难的态度，慢慢让观众喜欢上她，剧情进入一个又一个高潮。 直到剧终Lisabeth买了名贵的皮大衣,骑着重机车到Blomkvist家楼下要送给他,却发现Blomkvist揽着暧昧对象Berger的手去庆祝圣诞时，愤怒的把大衣摔入垃圾槽里，每个人都感觉到她的痛。 女主角Rooney Mara，成功让高难度的Lisabeth活了起来，脆弱瘦小庞克的外表，刚强高智慧的性格。

导演，演员，美术，剧本，都很出色。 好戏。




要到2013年，第二部曲才会上映，还要等好久。

回来了。

过完年， 迫不及待赶回来。 真的不喜欢小孩子， 偏偏老家一直都被小孩子霸占， 根本没有耳根清净读本书的时候。连和老妈打麻将都要等到那些牛魔王转世的家伙走了才打一两圈，老妈果然有赌后天分，一教就会。 还是自己的窝好，到了这把年纪，不想亏待自己。 回到家就喘口大气， 终于放松了。

初六周末煮了腊肠砂煲饭，胖猪一进门倒头就睡，这个周末他难得有片刻宁静。猪妈妈过完年身体有小毛病，把他给忙坏， 呼噜大睡一场之后才起身吃晚餐,边吃边赞。幸亏猪妈妈住院几天就没事，吉人天相。

开工后又恢复忙碌的生活加上过年吃的燥热食物，不到一周我们先后都病了，感冒咳嗽鼻塞。我工作量大增，忙得不可开交。 希望三月份有时间休息，和胖猪出国，趴在沙滩上不动。

2011

Many good things and bad things happened in Y2011, i am glad that i have Porky by my side through out my roller coaster ride in this year.

First half of the year, I quited my first company ( a place for retirees ) and joined a second firm by mistake. This second firm has very high turnover rate and i am the third person on the board within a yr. In a very short period of time, I began to feel something is wrong with the management and made up my mind to leave. After a fury clash with my immediate sup, whom i cannot agree with all along, i decided to call it a day. I left and not turning my head back, i decided to take such a drastic action because of my past experience with the previous company, if it does not suit you, do not waste time on it.

After the resignation and clash, i was mentally and physically damaged, it was so bad that i have depression, Porky helped me to move on by taking good care of my health and job hunting patiently. With better health after a few weeks, i suggested we should go for a trip, and just right before our trip, i received an offer from a company , i was overjoyed and grateful for the sheer good luck. My mind was totally switched off from the unpleasant experience throughout the trip and Porky was a good companion.

After starting in the third firm, which i have worked happily with my boss and colleagues till today, i have lots of job satisfaction and recognitions from my colleagues / superior. I was even promised to have a chance to visit Headquarter in Europe next year, although it is not top on my wish list. I know if i am doing my parts, rewards will come.

For me, it is like you had a very bad fall, and found yourself landed on a gold mine. A door is closed, and another bigger door is opened. Life, is full of possiblities and hope at the same time.

平安夜大餐

因为周六是平安夜，胖猪被我押着下厨，要他不要再吹牛说自己多会煮菜。材料和食谱都由我决定和买好了， 胖猪只好硬着头皮上阵。心虚的胖猪从五点到七点都在厨房切切煮煮， 生怕砸了自己的招牌。到了七点， 平安夜大餐终于好了。 我一看， 排骨萝卜汤， 清炒豆苗，娘惹咖哩鸡，不错不错， 虽然手忙脚乱， 却也完成任务。 以后我可以不用亲自下厨了。

饭后，清理了餐具和厨房，电视播着傻大姐Cameron Diaz和影后级Kate Winslet 演的 The Holiday，先 吃着Royce的巧克力，接着又来杯红酒。 窗外滂沱大雨，我们就互相依偎窝在沙发上叹世界，享受人生。

平安夜，偷得浮生半日闲, 夫复何求。

第二天一早， 胖猪大清早就有事先出门，我就心血来潮烘了两片墨西哥饼做pizza，依旧放了日本矮瓜，意大利面酱，芝士。虽然好吃，但没有胖猪，味道就是不一样。

新山半日游

几乎每到年底，我们都会选一天去新山去购物，唱k，看戏和吃点本地的小吃。
我们通常一早十点就过关卡， 这次迟了一个钟头，关卡又刚好大塞车， 到新山时已经快下午一点。 我们快快的截了辆德士赶到了开张不久的 KSL city， 胖猪和我就在附近亚华粿条吃了顿满意的午餐，我们都点了五令吉的粿条， 一碗白果腐竹， 一盘南瓜糕， 共17令吉。吃饱喝足之后我们就直往戏院冲去，看了两个钟头的 TWILIGHT， 剧情有些烂但是戏票比较在新加坡便宜就算了。
从戏院出来， 我们就开始购物，贪吃的胖猪就狂买手信，我就买了件Gap的long sleeve shirt（45令吉，在新加坡肯定不止这个价码） 和两件Polo T（69令吉）。到晚餐就去世华肉骨茶吃了一碗猪肚汤和肉骨茶（各九令吉）。这次我们都没买到想买的皮鞋（因为我们的皮鞋刚好都坏了）， 所以只好看接下来圣诞减价能不能搞定。 晚餐后我们都赶回新加坡，疲倦的动物们都归巢。
这次的半日游很不过瘾，因为大塞车，没唱到K （胖猪还想和我飙歌看谁厉害），没买到鞋， 购物的物价也不算便宜， 不过也算了因为花费总共也不多，比起搭飞机出国还是划算多了（单机票就远远超过我们一天的花费）。不过看来以后要购物也真不必考虑新山， 物价真的不会便宜过新加坡很多，看戏和唱K倒不妨。
