sub ver sive semiautobio yeah so anyway i was blog hopping and figured i should say something before i get all tired and lose all form of inspiration. not that im particularly inspired now...in fact im very sleepy but i promise just a quickie here and i will be asleep by 3. see i just need to type out things sometimes. let it all out and then i can sleep better. it's true. but i have no means of proving it. only my tortured soul. well been catching lots of movies recently. special thanks to (alan) jonk zee nash cc for the savages. thoroughly depressing but a much needed kind of rude awakening to the harsh journey that life takes us all through. i wonder how much is being selfish, and how little is sparing a thought for others and serving out one's obligations? i am not looking forward to a midlife crisis. i hope it isnt compulsory, or anything. and if anything i dont wanna be stuck with something that i dont enjoy. i dont want to live a lie. eventually. "we are horrible people. horrible. horrible. horrible. horrible." tuesday was 27 dresses with xtine. fun movie and i was very impressed with katherine heigl's astute portrayal. nothing too corny, too ditzy, too preppy. it was just right, like a good measure of tea and sugar, ultimately sweet but without making you feel like you're gonna get diabetes. and cow i am totally not making sense now but you know, i was never a fan of romantic comedies, but this one (and hitch) might have changed my mind. and i always like happy endings. or sad ones that were inevitable yet eventually acceptable because perspectives have shifted. priorities, different. lives, changed. that kinda thing. in any case it was a colourful affair- it always is with xtine anyway- and i really counted 27 dresses. thaipusam that night was an eye opener...until it started killing the traffic. i actually felt lost in singapore that night, like i didnt belong, just as much as the curious tourists with the dvd camcorders felt somewhat bewildered in awe. wednesday was a very nice night of strolling out to lot1 with jonk. the perks of being in the same camp. and the stay out/nights out life- it was great catching up although the first thing he mentioned was the very unsettling piece of news about heath ledger's death (which i still find very disturbing- it's not fair, is it?) but yes, we basically roamed that place till the max and to be honest we didnt really talk about anything in particular, but yet it was such a good evening to look back on. i guess with old friends it's always good that way. there's no pressure to impress. i find myself trying to impress a lot of times. and that's both exhilirating and exhausting. my phone died on me come thursday but i still managed a successful movie rendezvous with liyana- le grand chef! i guess we both agreed that cc the vegetarian was better off not seeing it because boy were they brutal with the animals. i liked it though. i wish i could cook half as well. i think that i want to be a rather homely kinda person, but something out there is pulling me away. but i will still try. i always try. i need to learn korean too! and so here i begin, conquering the world and surmounting the improbable peaks of my imagination. but there are always limits. on a random note, i do truly miss acting. did i just say that? liyana, i hope you tide through with the tight situation and make it through the rain. you always do. i also lost a bag of blood this week, but for a good cause. i think i was furious when he first told me that my pressure was too low. i actually drank cold water quickly for the first time in years just so it would go up. and i am beginning to find my way in SI. my wish is that i will stay calm and maintain a generous sense of humour when it comes to the many twerps around me. but there is this sense of, well, Purpose growing, and i cant wait to unravel it completely. and because of that i will win this. i must. sometimes i get very confused with how im feeling. i was somewhat happy to see them today, but then i realized i actually felt like nothing. weird. and i cant go on without reciprocation. anyway, today my ipod will return to the road. which means im joining jack sparrow and gang. mot joe black's back! p.s. movies i (still) wanna watch: sweeney todd diving bell and butterfly american gangster eastern promises darjeeling limited jesse james atonement juno lars and the real girl the golden compass

in this life I was nurtured I was sheltered, I was curious and young. I was searching for that something, Trying to find it on the run. Oh and just when I stopped looking, I saw just how far I'd come. In this life. In this life. the year went away without my permission, so here i am, picking up the pieces from where i last left off. even yesterday seems such a distance away. but im stretching...as i always do. the last few days (and moments) of 2007 would not have been possible without jean, sinni, stef, junyi, sharapova, chakvetadze and family. those few days, it was like, walking on ice cream. short, but sweet. at times surreal, star striking, but nonetheless, sublime. the first day of 2008 would not have been possible without the class. we had breakfast in the afternoon. a pancake affair with hats and crusty conversation. tea at essential brew at holland v that evening was, well, essential for me. i guess i let insecurity get the better of me, which soon proved unnecessary the next night. much thanks to elly, huanna, xtine and darren('s voice). life has been pretty random and unspectacular ever since. but i have to be thankful for the nostalgic dinner with liyana, sarah and cc. maybe one day we will take to the stage again. dinner at yingsze's,the nigella incarnate. beauty world with xtine. unimpressive, but always a treat. kbox with the class! amazing although only joy my duet partner understands me haha. reservation road with shumin. predictable, but how can one turn away from such fine acting? and then there was army. there IS army. (exactly one year today!) im just pretty piqued about not being able to do anything. to do it right. to feel comfortable with where i am and who im stuck with. i cant say i dont feel condemned to some extent, but i think if i choose to look at things with all the good in mind, to know that there's definitely much more to life (cue stacie orrico- i never knew she was so good live), then everything will be just fine. and i can open up more doors for myself and not feel so perpetually trapped. i think singing helps unleash a lot of my pent up emotions. i cant say i do it too well, but at least i get it all out. i just told sarah to 'just tell him u like him' because 'life is too short'. hmmm. i say we should all learn to take our own advice someday. i feel very safe and contented at home. packing and cleaning today was extremely cathartic. it was like giving my things (and hence myself) a new beginning. but i need to do so much more. in the meantime ive been gaining inspiration from youtube and the likes of stacie orrico, delta goodrem and the all american rejects. there must be more to life- in this life that i am stuck in. and even though it ends tonight, we just have to move along, with all our dirty little secrets and innocent eyes. You give me love, You give me light, Show me everything's been happening, You've opened up my eyes, I'm following Three steps fight an honest fight, Two hearts, that can start a fire, One love is all I need in this life...
