2 Days in Paris

Same leading actress, lots of dialogues, another movie very similar to "Before Sunset" & "Before Sunrise". Their conversation is so engaging and close to my heart.

"It's not easy being in a relationship, much less to truely know the other one and accept them as they are with all their flaws and baggage. And to truely love each other we need to know the truth about each other, even if it's not so easy to take. ...The toughest thing to me was to decide to be with some one for good, the idea that this is it, this is the man I'm gonna spend the rest of my life with. To decide that i will make the effort to stay and work things out and not run off the minute there is a problem. ...It always fascinates me how people go loving you madly to nothing at all. Nothing. It hurts so much. When I feel that someone's gonna leave me I have the tendency to break up first before i get to hear the whole thing. Here it is. one more, one less, another waste of love story. I really love this one. When i think that its over that i will never get to see him like this. Well yes i will bump into him, we will meet our new boyfriend and girlfriend, act as if we have never been together. Then we will slowly think of each other less and less, until we forget each other completely. Almost. ...Then after a few months of total emptiness start to look again for true love, desperately look everywhere. And after 2 years of loneliness, meet a new love and swear it is the one, until that one is gone as well. ...There is a time when u can't recover anymore... ..."

him: when was over, was over
she: so if we break up you wouldn't like to see me ever again?
him: no i mean if i ran into you i wouldn't avoid you, but i wouldn't go my way to hang out with you. no
she: so that means i'm not a likeable person outside of our relationship?
he: oh ya basically. ha
she: that's interesting, but you know i like you, i would like to be your
friend when we break up. ... i would like you even if we weren't together

Yeah. When everything ends, everything just stops right there. Sad isn't it? Why aren't we able to carry on our friendship after all the time spent, understanding, knowing each other inside out? Not that we didn't enjoy each other's company. Not that the breakup was so heart shattering that we don't wish to have anything further to do with the other person. Unless we were plainly looking for a soulmate or "playmate" from the start.

Do you sometimes feel empty even when you are surrounded by people, with events happening around you? Empty when he holds your hand, when he wraps his arms around you, everything seemed so surreal, thinking to yourself will this last? Thinking is he satisfying just himself? You very much want to believe the moment but your head is totally empty. Can't think no more. Feel like a ragdoll. Do they give a damn about you? How you feel, what you think, or are they more concerned about themselves?

And I've even wondered
If we Should be getting under
These sheets
We could lie in this bed
But its empty
Its empty

It could have been a long lasting relationship with S if we had never given up so easily. We could have solved it together but we had choosen to run away.

And M. He seemed so real and down to earth at times which is rare you ask me, to find such qualities in a person, and it really attracted me. But other times it was as if he was hiding something. And that made me confused.


I am so not ready for 2008.

But whatever.

Bring it on!

The Food Bachelor

Guess who was on tonight's show?

That cute guy from the office.

Was switching between channels and saw this E-lookalike. Coincidental enough, it truely was him!

Articulate. Confident. Rich kid but friendly & humble. Definitely an eligible bachelor.


I still see the age of 26 plus minus as the pinnacle period of one's life. Just feel that there is so much more going on.

And I can't help but still feel excited whenever I talk about M.
Amazed. Mezmerizesd. Out of my mind? Hate to admit, YES!

Feel L.I.B.E.R.A.T.E.D

No limitations. Creativity is about having no restrictions.

Your work. Your style.
Let the "juice" floowww...

And where is mine?


Waiting for the life-changing event to take place.

Give thanks! Hallelujah! My ass

FFFFFUCKKKKK!!!!

"Find someone else who is worthy to be your dad."

If only we have the option to choose.

Sorry I can't be as forgiving as you think I should and as filial as you are because ungrateful brat is exhasted.

This is Utterubbish! - Refreshing, Inspiring

Dropped by The City Hall on Thursday after work to check out Utterubbish since it had been extended a week longer.

My favourite is this: We Feel Fine exhibit

Kinda blur but do try to figure the sentences out.

They have this amazing tool whereby they are able to auto retrieve and store sentences consisting of the phrase "I feel" or the word "feel" etc in the database whenever anyone from any part of the world blogs, consisting of these.


Another is a room filled with all e toys, including loads of trexi, which were up for auction. Damn cool. Someone would love it so much.

The other exhibits were good as well. Eco-friendly and stuff, enjoyed it alot.

Totally inspired. A pity that I wasn't able to share with someone that I think would enjoy it as much as I did.

You flag for cabs and buses, what else?

A truck!

Last night I did just that on my way home without my contact lenses on. Wonder what was the driver's reaction if he happened to realise there wasn't any bus behind him.


And I received a good news with regards to work. Though not a high position to be exactly proud of, nonetheless, I am getting a promotion! (from being an extremely small fry) Not quite finalized, but meaning my boss will fight for me and discuss with his boss, the Managing Director that is. Will get a pay increment nonetheless, and till then, a second round of increment once officially promoted. YEAH!

Hmm... so is this all planned? My unsuccessful job switch to the advertising company. I know this offer is really attractive but still can't decide whether to stay or continue with the job search. Might as well stick to this till I get into a university huh?

The night before attended...

It was good but not as good as I had expected. Luckily me, saved my 95 bucks on the tickets.

Was in the mosh pit but decided to get out of the crazy area shortly after the concert had started. Almost lost my flip flops if I had not used my skillful toe power to pull it back on my feet. A few other girls were not that lucky.

I forgot to mention, there were floating condoms bouncing around the mosh pit before the concert had started. Kinda sick but we laughed it off.

Maroon 5 will be here in March next year!

My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade

Company Dinner @ Gallery Hotel

Look at the wonders of a month of Roaccutane, my face has cleared quite a bit and still improving. Damn I should have started popping the pills early.

Went over to Butter Factory after dinner and this is the only picture. There was a photographer too but unfortunately unable to find the photos taken by him.

Wouldn't you like to have a VS christmas tree

Victoria Secrets' christmas tree. SWEET!~


[Worry too much and you will never get anything accomplished. Relax~]

Wrinkly old men disgust me

Not as turned on by older men now. At least not a very wide age gap.

I don't have to resort to attracting these desperate 'ah peks'. I am content with what I have and where I am.

Why would I be interested in wrinkly old men who are well-to-do but probably out there, with ill intentions, ogling at vulnerable sweet little things to cheat? O God, why are men born to be shallow? Putting women's other "assets" of more importance.

"Friends with benefits" (companionship, someone else would use). Whatever sort of benefit that is, I can live without. So what if they have the 5Cs? What's the amount of money I could save on transport/food/entertainment compared to my dignity? Yes I long to lead a comfortable life but who doesn't? I am definitely not as shallow as those golddiggers who have no self respect. Well women are stronger nowadays, except for the weaker few who tainted the rest of us girls' names. I have always believed in self-dependence and staying down-to-earth. There is never a shortcut to everything.


He thinks I am more concerned with material things than having deep, meaningful, emotionally-connected and non financial/physical-based relationship. (Think men hear this all the time from women. But of course we have some of that animal attraction too.) And he believes in mutual providence. He gives to get what he wants, generally to satisfy him, make me feel contented to please himself indirectly, putting himself above all rest. Literally, it was a make-believe. Anyone who isn't as strong-minded are going to get broken. Touches you with sweet gestures but leave you desolated with his empty talks. I am glad I came to my senses early cause that wasn't the life I want to live. Absolutely too good to believe. The whole episode puzzled me all this while. Short, abrupt, out of nowhere. But I knew how the ending would turn out from the beginning. As soon as how it had started.

One night I was looking at him, his wrinkled eyes, and I thought to myself if I really didn't mind the age gap of 14 years. And I went: "Heck, he is the type of man I like." And I think every other women would like. His wittiness, masculinity (in his own way), and I absolutely love and totally impressed with what he does. Doodling. Though kind of old for me but he is still young at heart, cute and lovable. Made me feel so lucky to have met him and have him. Naive you think. I agree with you. I suppose he would have the last laugh if he were to come to know about this.

Now I am totally, fumingly, disappointed by what done to me. (Considered the fact it is by someone who works in the government sector, and well-liked by many other graphic lovers with his doodles and its website. So successful but leading a double life, meticulous enough not to jeopardize his career nor hobby. I thought we could have stayed as friends but he was only looking for amusement outside his working hours, friends/family gatherings.) And that's good. Put an end to my conflicting thoughts.


Not sure if I consider myself to be one, but I think I am more likely to be a cynic. The existence of selfishness is far greater than selflessness on this planet. But many around are trying to act otherwise.

What infactuation ends and love begins, I think infactuation is all that is. How is it possible to keep a relationship going if you are unable to constantly feel infactuated with the other person? Love is like NOTHING. Absolutely nothing without these little elements.

This sad, illusionary, and not-so-amazingly-perfect-after-all chapter of my life is closed and burned.

Silly & nonsensical

Sometimes I find myself overwhelmed by emotions so easily.

Particularly over some silly things.

Found something relatively similar to what Glenn Ong and The flying Dutchman were talking about this morning on the radio:

A kiss is just a kiss? What it means to a man and woman.

A US study has found women use kissing as a means to assess a relationship and its future while men appear to kiss in a bid to increase the likelihood of having sex.

The study found women place more importance on kissing and are more likely to evaluate their partner's kissing ability on factors such as the smell of their breath and the appearance of their teeth.

The study of more than one thousand students at the New York State University also found fewer women than men are willing to have sex without kissing their partners first.

Women also feel a bad kisser is less attractive.
The study published in Evolutionary Psychology found men are less discriminating when it comes to deciding who to kiss or who to have sex with.
Further findings show men tend to employ romantic kissing as a means of increasing sexual receptivity and gaining sexual access to affect conflict resolution and to possibly monitor the fertility of his mate.

Women meanwhile place a greater importance on kissing not only to make more judicious mate assessments but for those in committed relationships kissing is used to update monitor and assess the status of their partner's continuing commitment or lack thereof to the relationship.


Now tell me, how true is that.

I myself think that kissing itself is a foreplay.

Whatever it is. I missed my chance of having a hot kiss when the feeling was so there and right. O damn.

Get addicted!

They say: "To get rid of an addiction, one way is to get a new one!"

Maybe it's simply because you are someone I am not, have something that I am unable to find in me. Just standing in a corner admiring what you do. I am fine with it even when you don't give a damn about this person.

Thankfully, I can proudly say that the roller coaster ride is over. Started with hatred, but eventually, it becomes neutral. And I am now neutral.

It's sad when relationships (all sorts) get so complex when we are unable to open up our hearts and share so freely, afraid to give too much of ourselves and become the one on the losing end, when in fact, it's very simple. Quit thinking that female species are difficult and complicated. We try to get things across to you but you were never sensitive enough to understand and put the blame on us instead. Both species are equally weird if you ask me. Just that both sides have always been trying to place the responsibility on the other.

Men are from earth. Women are from earth. DEAL WITH IT!

"Sometimes it seems like all I ever do is ask for things
Until I ask too much of you
But that's not the way I wanna live
I need to change
But something's got to give"
- Relient K - Give Until There's Nothing Left

I opened myself up for the very first time but I didn't have the chance to understand your inner thoughts nor emotions. I still think that [whatever I accused you of] is all that matters to you cause you had never or tried proven otherwise, though I tried to find evidence to prove yourself not guilty.

Wanna be the next Gaming Queen!

"Rewarded" myself with a white PSP Slim cause I think it's time for me to find some fun from some gaming device. A portable one. Was comtemplating between PSP and NDS and eventually choose the one with better graphics over the more-fun-and-kiddy-filled-games console. Kinda addicted for now. Hopefully, I wouldn't get bored after a month or two.

Bought everything at $430. Not sure if I could have found something cheaper even though I had done a little research.

Sometimes I find myself not exactly a smart shopper. As long as I am able to get my hands on the thing, I wouldn't mind to pay for it a little more to save some time and effort. I usually console myself with "Money can be earned back" or "This is equivalent to a top/luxurious meal/x days of tuition" whenever I have found something to splurge on.

Bought Seagate FreeAgent Go hard drive at $179 and found it yesterday at Sitex 2007 $10 cheaper cause of last day of exhibition. WITH CASE!!! Trying t keep my cool... ... It's alright... It's alright... *growl*


Plan to enroll in the Specialisation in Visual Communication course, a continuation of the Part-time Certificate course in Basic Visual Communication. Think it should help with my pursue in Marketing. Gonna be another hectic period of work.class.tuition again.

Hmm... but Paulene and I were planning to take up tennis lessons. =/ Last Saturday we were disciplined enough (actually, it wasn't much of a choice when you had to meet someone, it's not solely a one-man-show) to meet at 8am for a run at ECP. Effective way of working out when you will push yourself to work as hard as your partner. Refreshing. We shall make this a weekly affair.
