Overseas Opportunity

I remember that during our Comm Skill module, my lecturer mentioned something about during a job interview, you can ask questions like whether the company will give you training to improve your skills and whether the company will provide you with overseas opportunity.

Well, currently I am just working temporary so overseas opportunity definately never cross my mind. Until today, my boss provide me a chance to go overseas. OMGWTFBBQ. I am going to :


↑ Malaysia. Truely Asia. =p

Lazy to talk about details but one my lead programmer is trapped inside Malaysia for a few days. And coincidently, the dateline for this project is next monday. By the time he is able to come back to Singapore, the flower have already wilt, the sun had already set and the project will be late of dateline. LOL. So my boss suggested we go over to Malaysia to work.

I should be there until thursday or friday. And saturday I am going to Malaysia kelong with northlanders. Song bo? So this week I will spend like 5 to 6 days at Malaysia. LOL. At Malaysia maybe we can’t get any wifi hotspot so I might end up unable to be online. =X

Toki wo Kakero Shoujo (時をかける少女)


↑ Toki wo Kakero Shoujo. Also known as The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.
Rating : 10/10

I like this movie a lot. It’s about a girl call Makoto who during one unlucky day, she failed a surprise test and on her way home, her bicycle’s brake broke down and she was dashing towards an incoming train. During that instant before she got hit by the train, she managed to time leapt and avoid the accident.

With her new power, she started to try and change the things happening to her. She leapt back in time and tried to prevent and avoid those unlucky things that she know it will happen. But soon she realise that everytime she tried to change something to make herself happy, somebody else will suffer because of her actions. At first, the changes she did will only affect somebody in a small way. But as she starts to change more and more things, the sufferings of the ones around her starts to increase.

The show also touch on friendship and love. It is through her time travelling ability that she discover how her friend, Kōsuke, can give up on love to prevent her from being lonely. And when one of her friend, Chiaki, tried to confess his love to her, she used her ablity and tried to prevent it from happening.

She tried many times to prevent the confession but she will fail everytime so eventually she created a chance for her classmate Yuki to be together with Chiaki. But when the two of them really got together, she started to get jealous.

Eventually she realised that there is a limited amount of times she could use her abilty. And because of the changes she made, Kōsuke became the one who borrowed Makoto’s bicycle and Kōsuke became the substitution of Makoto in the train accident. By that time she had already used up all her time travelling.

Well. I wouldn’t spoil you all with the ending here. But I will say its a great show. Two thumbs up. =D. Here is the movie trailer with substitles :

Oh ya. The movie is shown last year so you cannot catch it in cinema anymore. But you can still get the DVD from yesasia.com at $21.40 with free shipping to Singapore.
