Imagine if you're a boss, the employer, very rich, you decided to have one employee to help you with your work. Would you rather have someone who is trained to do the job, or someone with passion and training to do the job?

The American Assassin gives you someone with passion and training to eliminate all terrorists. He was trained by the God himself given his past.

He has mastered the terrorist's language, behaviour, and methods. He researched terrorists his whole life, he was blind, he was ruthless, he never blinked even once to kill terrorists.

He exceeded expectations, he was determined, he was like pursuing his dreams. Nobody don't have to tell him what to do because he had the same goal -- to get rid of terrorism.

I wanna be him. I'm looking for someone with the same goal. It gives me so much pleasure to serve that kinda boss. If you employ me, whenever there's issue, you come looking for me, I'm almost done.

Watch the movie, and you'll understand why I wanna scream out of excitement and support for him.
Yes, only him not the government.

103. I Think I'm Immature

Synopsis

Discover a crime thriller which will have you gripped from the explosive start to one of the most shocking endings of the year.

DETECTIVE GEORGE ELMS THOUGHT HE’D SEEN IT ALL, UNTIL HE COMES UP AGAINST SERIAL KILLER HENRY ‘THE BULL’ ROBERTS.

Henry Roberts had a type — young, blonde, attractive women. He is three years into a life sentence.

Two of his victims were never found.

Now, Henry Roberts is dying and he wants to make a deal. Move him to a secure unit by the sea and he will tell the police where the other victims’ remains are.

The offer is accepted and Detective George Elms travels to the force who led the original investigation. He is the messenger. He finds a police force and a community still shattered. As he reviews the old case notes he also learns something else. Henry Roberts didn’t work alone.

A woman goes missing who fits the profile of the other victims. The circumstances of her disappearance do too — she never made it from her commuter train to her car. Then a second woman disappears. George is convinced the cases are linked. Henry Roberts told him on his prison visit that two is better because, “you can make the other one watch.”

Time is running out for George. He’s convinced that Henry Roberts knows who he should be chasing, but will he help before he takes his last breath? Or the women take theirs?

Perfect for fans of Kimberley Chambers, Damien Boyd, Rachel Abbott, Patricia Gibney or Mark Billingham.

MISSING
THEN SHE RAN
RUTHLESS


Becoming a police officer is very tiring, not to mention very dangerous.
Either as a traffic officer or as a detective, a police officer needs to be ready to run as fast as he can, and capture the violators.

Being a police officer that helps to regulate traffic, you won't have a nice public holiday at all. The second you've become a traffic regulator, you need to stay alert and be ready to untangle traffic congestion during weekends, during public holidays, during soccer match season, during royal celebrations, etc.

As one of the many government faithful servants, you need to defend the country. Your role as a traffic regulator is too important, as the whole world might be watching your performance. There will be important guests from other countries who attend the royal wedding, or attend just a mere soccer match. It won't look good to other countries if you fail to do your job.

In addition, when you're a detective, you need to capture criminals. You have the responsibility to capture the right one. You also have to be prepared to lose your life when you chase dangerous criminals, drug lords, or psychos when they decide to fight back and shoot you.

Sometimes, your family might be held captive just so you let them free. Then, you remember that you need to put your country above your personal gain, and it means you mustn't surrender. Life is so much harder when you're the police officer.

I wanna be an FBI agent, but I also wanna be safe.
I don't wanna run around like crazy, chasing bad guys.
I don't want people to shoot me too.

I wanna ... I wanna ...
I ... I wanna be a detective...

102. Thank You Google #9 - Oya Oya Horn OK Please

Lyric

Oya Oya Horn OK Please
Singer: Yo Yo Honey Singh, Sukhwinder Singh

Horn ok please.. (Common writings found on trucks in India)
Whether I am driving forward or backward,
or smiling while reversing the car,
Whether I'm fixing the car,
or just revolving the tyre...

I don't know where the car shall go,
nor when there is a puncture, and the wheel stops.
We wander everywhere,
but when there is a railway crossing gate, we get stuck...

(It's) neither beautiful woman, nor the God,
I just roam the streets like mad,
Looking for my lost love...

O my partner, why did you run away from me,
it's as if there are buttonholes, but the buttons are lost from the shirt,
I shall find a convoy / caravan somewhere,
I roam the streets like mad,
Looking for my lost love...

Oh Uncle, I won't bother you with my life complaints,
I'm the man with a necklace, not some police inspector...
At least give me some ideas,
Have you seen someone in tune, or out of tune, anyone...
Uncle, please tell me.

Where did you actually go?
My world is all empty without you.
I don't see the traces of your shoes (left on ground) anywhere,
Oh, Uncle, I don't have complaints against life, except that my love went missing.

There is no existence of a knife without sharpness.
Nor can there be a swing ride without a rope
If you're there, everything is like sweets
and without you, everything is like stale bread

Meet me on the corner of the street, then we'll talk about the mystery,
I roam the streets like mad,
Looking for my lost love...


I found this song by accident. I love the tunes, I love the video clip, and I think we can copy it for office performance (censors apply of course).

We can remove the swimming pool part on stage to something else similar to the singer's move. Well, if the competition is about making video with friends or colleagues then we can certainly use the pool act too.

Imagine your friend or your husband does the dance like the one on the clip. I know, it's of different culture we don't do that, but still, he becomes omg so desirable afterwards.

Imagine your friend or your wife does the dance like the one on the clip. I know this is subjective, but I think it can set her shy aura free.

101. Thank You Google #8 - Oh My Love

Lyric

Original Title: Saawariya
Singer: Ranbir Kapoor

My Love

Seating you in the palanquin
Decorating you with the stars
He'll steal you away from the world

My love
In the marquee of my eyelashes
In every part of my dream
There's just the shadow of yours
You are there in every moment of my memories
I have gone crazy over your first silent stare

Saawariya, I wanna be your date tonight
Saawariya, you gonna be my princess tonight
My love


Men's world is so active and full of adrenaline, even for a quiet kind. Lure a man out of his lair, he will show his wild side to you. Some men become wild all of a sudden, which in some cases scares the woman away.

Will it stop him from loving her?
Yes, you better continue to be wild,
You're out anyway, man
Go! Full throttle at her!

She might not love you back though...
Hehe...
Stay wild anyway?

100. Thank You Google #7 - O Priya O Priya

Lyric


O Priya O Priya
Singer: Salman Khan

O Priya O Priya Priya
There's no one like you, Priya

Be happy wherever you may be
This is a prayer from my heart
Ho ho ho ho ho

O Priya O Priya Priya
There's no one like you, Priya

You've found a love companion
I've lost you as a friend

There's so much I want to say to you
But today, there's little time

Everything you said when we first met
Everything about you
After you left, your memories make me cry

Hey hey hey hey
Meeting and parting is all up to God
Making it happen or breaking it up, everything's about luck

We're just a puppet, and you're better, trust me
People who has love should never take advantage of a friend, trust me

Everyone has spoken their minds
Nobody knows what's inside my mind

Nobody knows you're important to me
You, who've been lost in this happiness
How can I forget you?


This is the first Indian song I like. The singer admired the woman who's supposed to wed his friend. I guess I fell in love with those watery eyes.

I admit that I really like a handsome guy who fall for me so deeply. Everybody on earth loves him so much but he chose me instead and he never bother looking at anothir girl. Now here's the catch. I should be with someone else. So, I won't realise he was falling madly in love with me.

Everyone around me used to tease me for this wish. They laughed and sighed at the same time, thinking so hard about why I had to come up with this weird wish. Well, now that I have a boyfriend, I don't know why they felt so restless, and asked me weakly,
So, what's your next plan with this guy?
To which I replied,
Nothing, just go with his flow...
What did you think?!
You, with a crazy mind...
I'm choosing the watery eyes guy no matter what.
