Change is Forthcoming

15th March 2010, Monday

The other day there was a commotion created by Karen's statement on
"Change is coming".

Many friends and loved ones probed and speculated what the change would be and it seems like yours truly hit the bullseye with my prediction.

I stated that it could be something to do with changing of her job.

It was no major myth to conceal that our teacher friend simply became jaded with her working environment and had started to shake her off the tangent of her mental well-being.

Therefore it was of little surprise when she revealed that she would not be renewing her teaching contract which runs its course come end of the month.
Meanwhile she had managed to hook up with a South Korean animation production house which would see her working in Seoul for 8 months.
Doing computer animation had always been a dream of hers plus the opportunity to work overseas definitely is one to relished, even though she mentioned she would be taking a 50% pay cut for it (imagine a current remuneration..gosh)
An inside joke would be that she can finally fulfilled another dream of hers, get hitched with her pop idol, Rain.
Wishful thinking but never say never.

So by early April, a galvanizing player in the La Tendo clique would be away from the island till the end of 2010 and with Ferris' self projected one year absence, it means the crew is well thinned with the usual guys going to the shop and an occasional movie outing or perhaps dinner.
Karen's infectious giggling would be missed at the time being.
One less person to chat via MSN about the latest development on One Piece, well that is still possible unless her new employers banned all social networking tools.

Caught Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" in 3D at Cathay with the gang.
A wonderful rendition from Burton in his signature art direction but getting a bit too tired of his usage of Johnny Depp and spouse Helena Bonham Carter though the latter was perfect for the role of bulbous-head red queen.
Crispin Glover is the great shifty character since his "Back to the Future" days while Mia Wasikowska was comfortable as a teenage Alice.
Anne Hathaway's thick colored lips and broad eyebrows stood out clearly but it was those adorable imaginary creatures like Cheshire Cat and Tweedle-dum & Tweedle-dee which really steal the show.
And yah Christopher Lee, Saruman and not Fann Wong's hubby had like 3 speaking lines as Jabberwocky, Red Queen's draconian champion.

The next movie ought to be "Clash of the Titans" and let the mediocre blockbusters pattern continue for the year of 2010
Japanese word of the day: 不思議の国 ~fu-shi-gi-no-ku-ni~ (Wonderland) Karen would be heading towards her wonderland soon
