The Golden Compass

Under the Sun No Comments

Just to write a short review about the movie. It looks awesome. Much like the Lord of the Rings. Or Spiderman chronicles. But when I went to watch, I realized that it was a cliff hanging storyline which prepare for the trilogy. Wonder what is with all these trilogy? Just another gimmick to prolong the hype of the franchise.

I went to watch at the The Cineleisure, Damansara with a friend of mine. I need to thank her for take the trouble to queue up and get the tickets for two yesterday. The hall was packed that night. The story begins with the introduction of Lyra and a little explanation of the Dust. What intrigues me was the daemon. Having a animal like guardian along with you everywhere you go reminds me of the Guardian Force (GF) from the Final Fantasy 8. The only different between the daemon and the GF is that they don’t have special abilities like the GF. However, if the daemon dies, we human dies as well except for the game, its different which can be revived the GF.

Other characters that co-exist in the movie are the talking ice bears whom fight wars, and Gyptians and witches. For people like me, what will the ending like since I never read the book before? Anyway, for the overall story, I would personally rate 3/5. It just the beginning and the development of several characters in the movie. I wonder what the Nicole Kidman can do much more in the upcoming sequel.

Dota update

Under the Sun No Comments

It’s been a while since my last update on the dota matches that I used to play with my friends. Well, the reason I find it’s time to blog about it is because I found free wi-fi access at my housing area. So, hooked to the free wi-fi and then access it leh.

Anyway, coming back to the match which I played just now after 1 whole week not touching it which gives me plenty of satisfaction. This is because I won the match despite 4 vs 5. My team consists of Chaos Knight, Sniper, Tiny (me) and Mirana going against the others which make up of Zeus, Vengeful Spirit, Juggernaut, Orge Magi and Razor.

In the beginning, I got pawned hard by both VS and Jugger. First blood and on dying streaks. Got killed by them many times since i was at the top lane. Nonetheless, I farmed sufficient gold later of the game. I up the first and second skills, which is the stun and toss. And after that focusing most of the stats. I need more hp to farm faster for the Dagger of Escape.

In the end, I ended up beyond Goldlike!!!!!! chasing from 0-5 to 11-5 k/d. icon smile Dota update
Guess tonight I will have a pleasant dream.

The Boss and You

The Boss and You

surprisingly when I was talking to my colleague that I found out that everything seems nice and peaceful in the past few days. We were enjoy the work and being in work too. Then I found out that it was because my boss was on leave. He was away for a holiday and then, working without the presence of the boss can be both good and bad at the same time.

First, we might be enjoying the work very much since the boss not around to monitor us. We do things with much great joy. Maybe the pressure from the boss is not there. However, this absence of the boss might caused us to be slacking at work. We just take our own sweet time doing the job.

So, it happens not just between me and my colleague. However, my customer also felt the same when his big boss going on a Christmas leave. He added that the when the boss on leave then there wouldn’t be much of the issue that caused more work for him? The endless piles of tasks to be done within a short period of time. As this is to fulfill certain KPI of the company.

Come to think about it, anyone ever wondering what is the main reason behind all these? Mentality issue or is it the matter of the different roles of the employer/employees. In the end, who we work to please? the boss or ourselves. Somehow in a way or another, I believe that there should be certain empowerment required to the staff. It makes us felt we are in control and part of the company. Lest to think about it that when we feel good, the company in the end will benefit from it.

Oh well, I have nothing else to say. Maybe I shall wait for people of course such as blog thinkers to tell me more behind all this…
