Saturday, a day for me to rest. But instead of resting I choose to return work. Although I was not assigned any much work(a bit pointless to return), I still did so. As this is a promise to my colleague. After a headache machine jam, things go quite well so I can leave for town. I spent quite a bit of money on so called 'quality' product in waistbag. That's due to my horrendous experience in Amsterdam central train station. My coins, all £, just rolled out of my money belt and fell onto rail. So I think for something to hold more precious stuff. A good product really make a bit difference. Well then the money I got to fork out is definitely much more.
I could only reach home at 17:00. So there was a very short hours for preparing curry chicken and duration of cooking really matters in cooking curry. Luckily, all my effort did not go waste. I still manage to present it at friends' home in time. They all love what I did except the size of chicken parts(well, what do you all expect, girls? I asked the butcher to chopped the chicken down for me already).
After having a sumptuous meal, we had a lot of talk on our future plant in Singapore, our future job upon finishing of training here and possibility to stay back. Then it became obvious that girls want to go back ASAP whereas guy will want to stay on and work in this country. Does it mean girls have more sentimental like to home town or there is something in this country that deters them from staying? Well for guy, the lifestyle and pay are definitely the determining factors. during the discussion, I mentioned about the surrender singapore permanent residency if I stay back. Then I was told there is a possibility of getting a British residency. So I just wonder what did that matter to me? Maybe I do have a little bit of ties back in singapore. But the basic reason is if I need to return to Johor Bahru, what can I do next? The relevant job opportunities to me are only available in Singapore. anyway that is a good discussion me to sort out my mind in future. There is a need to look at long term effect for this kind of decision.
Back home, I had a chance to watch this thrilling and mind cracking movie, Fightclub. I think if I was to watch it back in my hometown, I would think that was nothing but a crap. But that kind of violent, cult movie could hardly pass the regulatory bodies back there. It was indeed a split personality(played by Brad Pitt) of the main protagonist(Edward Norton) that wrecking havoc to others lives in the movie. But what did it show in the society of the whole movie plot? a lot of underachiever, people indulge in buying things(consumerism), overpent on credit card and a lot of children grow up in broken families. These more or less reflect some fundamental problems that exist throughout the history of US. But the crazy idea of resorting to terrorism and anarchism which was again something that was shocking me. Not because I did not accept the idea but rather due to the fact that once people sink into some sort of problems like those in the movie, a terrorist way of solvin g those problem was seems perfect to most people (but not resorting to that due to conscience). But there is one thing I could not understand, how can a person attract a group of followers by hitting himself in the beginning. How do those follower know if he is himself or the alter ego? I think that could no longer be that important. But from what I have seen in the situation back in Malaysia. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX==deleted
