Random Shots and NUS, Board Exam update

To break my string of pensive posts...



I just saw Superman the other day...  It was pretty good:



    1. Why is it that men always leave yet hold on; while women get left behind and move on?

    2. The father-son theme got me really mushed up...
especially the  kid's bedroom scene... hehehe...  I'm an
emotional wreck when it comes to these things.

    3. I saw a lot of father-son pairings watch the
movie. I was intent on looking at their reactions... haha I saw a lot
of teary/watery eyes.

    4. Despite the fanfare, Spiderman still outgrossed
Superman in opening weekend receipts. Maybe because of the Independence
day celebrations in the US, or maybe because people want their heroes
to be flawed, not too perfect like superman.

    5. I think Kent/Superman/Brandon Routh is too clean
hehehe... maybe DC comics should come up with a superman that looks
like Wolverine?

    6. I think the kid might have had something to do with the seaplane climbing back.

    7. Kate Bosworth = elegante... but thoroughly blind to not see Kent as Superman



Yesterday we briefed one of the consultants we might be hiring for a
project, and I must say that this architect is Dominique Frankon
personified. She is one dainty, elegant and extremely classy woman...
but then again, thats just on the first encounter. I'm sure there's a
flipside.



On another note...



My application for the NUS scholarship was unsuccesful. Although the school did admit me to the MA Urban Design program,
which is something that I could be happy with. I decided to have my
admission deferred by a year so that I could finish off some of my
remaining career/life gaps. First of which would have to be my boards
(which unfortunately, I can only take June next year, instead of the
earlier January exam... pahirap na board ruling yan!) next, but prior
to the boards would have to be my (3 month) training under RMJM - Hong Kong,
which I hope would finally push through this september, after several
months of waiting and rescheduling because of Dubai's arcane work
regulations.



I figure, it will be better for me to fill in these gaps (and a lot of
other small ones) before I leave for Singapore. Also, I figure, there
may be other things that pop up for me in that period, and I'm praying,
keeping my hopes up, while I keep my head down and focused on the job.
