《露露的电影》 - Movie Date with Ah Gong and Ah Ma from Project Awareness

《露露的电影》 #LuLuTheMovie is indeed a movie that you shouldn't miss this year. I just went for the movie last week and I really enjoyed the movie so much, since I was once a fan of "The Noose" where I got to know "Lulu"!

This coming 7 December 2016 (Wednesday), Project Awareness will be bringing our elderly to watch this movie. It has been quite a long time since we last organise such an outing for the elderly. Many of you might be wondering if it is actually good to bring them out, as they are old and may not be advisable for them to go for outing, but I dont think that way. In fact I feel that going for the outing is a good excuse to get them to step out of their homes! Alot of the elderly stay alone and some of them are very introvert partly due to age and don't really socialise around. That is actually not healthy for them. Going for such outings not only brings them closer together with their neighbours, at the same time it is also something for them to remember before the end of 2016.

The reason why I chose 《LuLu The Movie》, is because I also want to support local production and local artistes, plus "Lulu" is such a funny and adorable character that can bring laughter and joy to the elderly too. Local movie Director/Actress Michelle Choong recently also shared the Facebook post from Project Awareness to her official page! We met briefly twice during a Christmas gathering at a friend's place and she comes across to me as a person who is really warm, kind and helpful!

Lastly, I'm wondering if Lulu is free on 7 December 2016 to make an appearance at our movie outing, as I believe all our Ah Gong and Ah Ma will be happy to see her in person. Anyway it's just a wish and hope it will come true.

What follows isn't the adventures of the Lulu seen on television - this Lulu can be angry, yearning and sad. She is no longer the chirpy Chinglish-spouting caricature seen on Channel 5 sketch show The Noose, where Chong gave birth to the character. - Reviews by The Straits Times

《露露的电影》是庄米雪的第三部电影，比上部刻画同志情愫的《他她他》来得精彩，喜感也与处女作《一泡而红》不同，《露》以幽默包装反映了一些社会现象。露露的狮城奇遇记，让人看到当侍应生的新移民听不懂英语，造成只懂英语的消费者，费尽唇舌都吃不到自己想要的食物。影片也透过立威廉片中的英语主播女友（也由庄米雪饰）一窥英语的高高在上。此外，数码更是造英雄的时代。 - Reviews by 聯合早報

負面的員工不換掉，弊大於利！

昨天我的老闆和我分享這一篇文章，我覺得其實還蠻有意義的，所以就和大家分享分享！

企業需要跟這樣的人合作：

1. 能始終跟著團隊一起成長的人。

2. 對團隊的前景始終看好的人。

3. 在團隊不斷的探索中能找到自己位置的人。

4. 為了團隊新的目標不斷學習新東西的人。

5. 抗壓能力強且有耐性的人。

6. 與團隊同心同德、同舟共濟、同甘共苦的，不計較個人得失，顧全大局的人。

大家讀了有什麽看法呢？我個人認爲這是一個見仁見智的問題，或許我在娛樂圈已有十年了，雖然不算全職藝人，但卻也看到各式各樣的老闆和生意人，而且自己也經營小小生意，所以覺得好的團隊都應該珍惜，至於那些負能量的員工就不可多留，因爲他們會影響整個團隊精神的！

When was the last time you called home?

Home. The place where you took your first steps, got your first dollar from the tooth fairy, fell off of your bike and scraped your knee, had your first boyfriend and maybe your first heartbreak. Home is a place of comfort, growth, and coming of age. You spend years with your parents and maybe some siblings, forging a bond that will last a lifetime. You grow up and move out, which was probably a sad time for your parents and younger siblings. College, work, or life takes you in your own direction and down your own path. You’ve most likely established a support network wherever you are as life brings you new relationships and challenges. It becomes so easy to get sucked into your own life and forget to keep up with those who have been there from the beginning.

As simple as it is to call home, sometimes we get caught up in our own lives and forget to make even a short call home to keep up with our loved ones, the grandparents we spent summers with, the parents we thought didn’t know anything, and the siblings we used to fight with then grew to admire. Staying connected to your loved ones can certainly have its advantages as you grow older. For example, the dynamic of the relationship between family members changes. Remember when your mom tried to give you advice and you thought she was crazy? As you’ve gotten older, you’ve probably realized she made more sense than you realized. How about when your dad tried to teach you the basics of saving money and basic maintenance on your car and you felt bored? You may have had a moment where you wished you had paid more attention then.

The truth is, we need our families and you never know how much they may need you. No person is a lone star. Don’t forget to keep in touch with the people who love you the most and know you the best. Keeping up with family can help you feel more grounded, supported, and connected. Sometimes it’s nice to get a break from the people we deal with every day and hear the voice of someone who really gets you. With all of the various methods of communication today, there’s really not a good excuse to not be able to keep in contact with family. If you aren’t able to call, you can always send a text, email, letter or postcard, video chat, etc. The best thing is, it’s super quick to take a few minutes and send a message to your family and let them know that you care and are thinking of them.

So, when was the last time you called home?
