Compromise

FREAKING

I BOUGHT A WRAPPING PAPER FOR 7 FREAKING DOLLARS!!!!

TWILIGHT

went for an early movie just now. watched TWILIGHT. the movie that i've been waiting for ages. maybe not ages, but it seemed like ages. Have read already read the 3rd book of the twilight saga and is looking forward to the movie and today once its out, i went for it st8 after work.

it really wasn't a disappointment. it kinda lived up to my expectations. but i would prefer it if it has subtitles. there are no subtitles and i have to double concentrate on listening in order to catch what they're talking abt. though i already know cos i read the book already.

i am so gg to watch it again.

that's all for nw, am deadbeat after yday n today n i need plenty of rest. till the next post. ciao!

Drama Mama

Last night was quite a drama for me. i have gotten used to it by now, but everytime i happens, my heart can't help me but pounded so hard that it almost jerk out of my body.

he's at it again. quarrelling with his son's mother. and last night was worst, the police came. i wasn't at the crime-scene(sound a bit serious i know).. cos i was erm, on the way back when that happened. apparently, he pulled the woman's hair and knock her head against the wall. i seriously tink he is in need of some anger management courses. after the police left, he went out to drink with my dad n came back quarrelling again. this time more fierce. but the police did not come again and i finally get to sleep ard 5am. crazy.

i am fine now, used to it already. though i cringed everytime i know its gg to happen again. and i know it won't end in the near future. i am just praying it'll come to an end soon. i know i am hoping for a miracle. but we are allowed to dream, right?

BOOKS BOOKS AND MORE BOOKS!

am so happy that i bought 8 books yday. plus a mini oxford dictionary today.

am so pleased with myself. though i spent quite a lot of money on them, i am still very much glad that i have the books to accompany me through the cold december nights. and the best thing is... i bought them at a steal! i shud say that its a steal! brand new first hand books at only avg. 10 bucks each... =)

i bought the whole twilight saga set... Twilight(Finished reading, n i have 2 copies of that.. dun call me crazy), New Moon (reading towards the end liao), Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. i also bought Cecelia Ahern's "Thanks for the Memories" and "The Gift"... But i missed the "A Place Called Here". They dun have it. Think its sold out... =( The last 2 books are from Mitch Albom, "5 Persons You Meet in Heaven"(a bit slow i know, always wanted to read it but no chance, either too busy or when i rmbed it, i am too poor to get a book... ) and "For One More Day"..

I darling the twilight saga series so much tat i went to popular to buy the transparent wrapping paper to get it wrapped up.. =)

so now, i am sucked into the world of isabella swan and edward cullen. into the world of vampires and humans... into the world of the pair of star crossed lovers as what the reviews say. i just couldn't wait for the movie to show! think i gonna go watch the sneak preview... i simply couldn't wait!!

You can watch the movie trailer here...

Rolling Stone

Have been rolling in bed for the past 30 mins but just couldn't reach lalaland... so i decided to sit up and start typing here. at least i do something conducive instead of becoming a rolling stone in bed....

Past week was a hectic one... Became tour guide to my malaysian artistes, gg for photoshoots and filming and doing loads of paperwork, editing very CMI audition tapes(actually laughing at them at the same time) and of cos not forgetting to play bball...

weekend was a worry-free one(at least for the moment). laze around doing nothing, comtemplating about life and future. thinking of how to live a better and more fufilling life.

i would often spend one whole day or night thinking about life. But the outcome isn't always fastastic. i would usually abort the whole thinking process when i can't find an answer, and repeat this process the next time i start thinking abt it.

oh. today i randomly wanted to go colour my hair so i went. brought dino along for an haircut and he looks like a coconut now. -____-'''

sammie asked me what colour is my hair now... i actually dun have the face to answer her cos erm, its basically the same. i have been sporting those very "understated" haircolour since poly days. keke... its either dark brown or dark maroon... keke.. but i like. at least i wun look back into my past fotos and laugh at myself for doing stupid things to my hair.. =)

opps, i just realised that the topics in this post are just so random.

带我走 - 杨丞琳

[带我走]

[杨丞琳]

[不良笑花主题曲]

作词 作曲:苏打绿

这次你却说等我走

某个角落就你和我

像突然抓紧花的迷惑

像天空这绵雨的汹涌

在你的身后计算的步伐

每个背影每个场景

都有发过的梦

带我走到遥远的以后

带走我一个人自转的寂寞

带我走就算我的爱你的自由

都将成为泡沫

我不怕带我走

肉脞面

A：“你为什么那么喘？”
B：“我。。我在爬楼梯！”
A：“你爬去哪里？”
B：“我爬去找上帝！他在等我。。”
A：“HUH？”
B：“上帝要请我吃肉脞面！”
A：“HUH？”
B：“炒馃条也可以！”

700

如果

如果这世界上真的有阿拉丁神灯，能实现你的3个愿望，你会许什么愿望呢？



以前的我，会先许两个愿望，然后第3个愿望就是：



我希望可以有多100个愿望！



现在的我，不再相信许愿了。。 因为，愿望都不实现的！



现实生活总没有连续剧或电影里演的那样完美的结局。童话故事的结局也往往都是“他们从此以后过着幸福美满的生活”。


只可惜我不是白雪公主也不是灰姑娘。。没那种命。


还好我有着一点点“天塌下来当被盖”的性格，一天过一天。


可是当我一天一天的过日子时，我常常忽略了我身旁的人。


他们到底过的好不好？有着什么样的烦恼？我可以帮他们解决烦恼吗？


我知道我无法帮忙，但不想看到身旁的人不开心。可是我无能为力。


我个人的力量是有限的。如果我能帮的我一定帮。


我没开口关心不代表我不在关心，只是每个人的表达方式不同。


我不擅于表达。也不擅于安慰别人。


我只会以鸵鸟的方式来逃避问题。我没看见，也不想看见。


于是我选择逃避。把我的头埋在深深的土里，以为我没看到别人就代表别人也看不到我。


逃避并不是解决问题的方法，可是有时候，除了逃避，已经找不到别的方法了。


我希望爱我和我爱的人都能得到解脱。摆脱掉所有烦人的问题。


因为我相信这个世界是美丽的。

[离开的时候]
[黄丽玲 A Lin 天生歌姬]


彩虹褪了颜色
我的窗前缠绕着寂寞
哀愁一地洒落

这一季的烟火
没有照亮我
只为别人闪烁


~离开的时候有些话没亲口说
再多的承诺未来也难预测
孤单的自由没有想像中快活
我已不知所措连回忆都心痛~


你说耐心等候
就算心里百般舍不得
还是要放开手

一个人的生活
日出又日落
每一天都折磨
能不能到梦里被回忆带走


~离开的时候有些话没亲口说
再多的承诺未来也难预测
孤单的自由没有想像中快活
我已不知所措连回忆都心痛
能不能到梦里被回忆带走~

DONK'S BACK IS SLOWLY RECOVERING

Finalli. my back almost broke for the past few days. am resisting to go see a doc cos i think i will faint when the doc touches my back. and i also got no money. yes. economy downturn hits me. i am so so so poor. =(

luckily after a session of massage by my dad, it seems to get better. =) sometimes, i think my dad ain't that bad after all.

and one more thing, why are milk powder tins so ex!!! my dino at home is drinking lotsa milk. i think its a mammal. are dinos mammals? he drinks milk like we drink water. no, i think dino consumes more milk den we consume water. erm, btw, dino is our dear der der. he is growing into a t-rex soon. He crawls and stumbles and occassionally walks for a few steps in between walls. He bites. With his only 2 little teeth on his lower gum. And he bites for real, like a dog. Ge sleeps like a pig, and btw, he snores. Have u seen a baby snore? i think he's the only one who can do that. and he likes to disturb ppl when they're sleeping. i think he is sadist. when he can't sleep, he will start hitting u and waking u up and leave u awake while he plays on his own. crazy dino.

a pic of him to end this post off... =)

I AM BACK!!

yes, i am finally back. got tons of pics but no time to upload it yet... been crazy busy since i'm back. still unpacking my stuff. din really buy a lot of stuff, but still as broke as ever. meeting yi and anji for dinner. keke... till then!

Catching Up

Did some catching up with an old fren... hasn't met her since 2004?? OMG... its been like 4-5 yrs already...happy to see her again... she was one of my kakis in my singing class... so happy to have met up with her again cos we lost contact yrs ago and found each other back thru facebook. =)

had dinner at the cathay and we walked all the way from the cathay to orchard station... i enjoy walking and chit chatting on the way.. except that my bag today was a bit heavy(as usual)..

had a long wallk and i enjoyed it.

Waiting for You ~~~

CONTRAST

over the weekends, there was really this big contrast. saturday was a day full of excitement(erm, maybe too much excitement and it becomes accident), and sunday was a total half work half relak, laid back chill out day.

am getting old, can't experience this kinda weekends too often, i will age very fast(which at the rate now, i think i am already aging very fast)....

but am looking forward to tmr, cos tmr will be the last day of work before i can go on leave! yippie!

sometimes, life ain't as bad as we tot it would be. think of life in another perception, and everything will turn out so much prettier.

Thank You For Your Time

was in the midst of clearing my emails when sammie's email titled "time" delivered in... the contents as below.

A young man learns what's most important in life from the guy next door. It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, girls, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams.

There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him. Over the phone, his mother told him, "Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday."

Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days. "Jack, did you hear me?" "Oh sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It' s been so long since I thought of him. I'm sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago," Jack said. "Well, he didn't forget you. Every time I saw him he'd ask how you were doing. He'd reminisce about the many days you spent over 'his side of the fence' as he put it," Mom told him. "I loved that old house he lived in," Jack said. "You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man's influence in your life," she said."He's the one who taught me carpentry," he said. "I wouldn't be in this business if it weren't for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important...Mom, I'll be there for the funeral," Jack said.

As busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser's funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away. The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time. Standing in the doorway, Jack paused for a moment. It was like crossing over into another dimension, a leap through space and time. The house was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture....Jack stopped suddenly.

"What's wrong, Jack?" his Mom asked. "The box is gone," he said. "What box?" Mom asked. "There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he'd ever tell me was the thing I value most," Jack said. It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it. "Now I'll never know what was so valuable to him," Jack said. "I better get some sleep. I have an early flight home, Mom." It had been about two weeks since Mr. Belser died.

Returning home from work one day Jack disc overed a note in his mailbox. "Signature required on a package. No one at home. Please stop by the main post office within the next three days," the note read. Early the next day Jack retrieved the package. The small box was old and looked like it had been mailed a hundred years ago. The handwriting was difficult to read, but the return address caught his attention. "Mr. Harold Belser" it read. Jack took the box out to his car and ripped open the package.

There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack's hands shook as he read the note inside. "Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It's the thing I valued most in my life." A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, as tears filling his eyes,! Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the finely etched casing, he unlatched the cover. Inside he found these words engraved: "Jack, Thanks for your time! Harold Belser." "The thing he valued most ...was ... my time." Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his office and cleared his appointments for the next two days. "Why?" Janet, his assistant asked. "I need some time to spend with my son," he said. "Oh, by the way, Janet...thanks for your time!"

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away," Think about this. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.

1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much that they would die for you.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. A smile from you can bring happiness to>> anyone, even if they don't like you.
4. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
5. You mean the world to someone.
6. If not for you, someone may not be living.
7. You are special and unique.
8. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good can still come from it.
9. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look; you most likely turned your back on the world.
10. Someone that you don't even know exists, loves you.
11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
12. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know and you'll both be happy.
13. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great. Yes! U pple are the best!

think it thru, burn it, and digest it when u're free. appreciate the ppl in ur life who's willing to spend their time on you. to those u know who, i love you.

Chapter 1

i have really no idea hw many times have i attempted to set up a blog and keep it gg for long. if the numbers can be turned into currency, i think it would suffice me to buy a bungalow along 6th ave. ok, i admit. i have exaggerated just a bit here.

i have always been an avid fan of blog-reading. strings and strings of alphabets make up stories that shows the inner most thoughts of the author. a way of shouting out loud yet it causes no harm to the ear drums.

here i am, trying(again..) to shout out loud, my thoughts, my feelings, my life.
