Starting again...

Well..I finally officially started a new relationship with a new guy... His name is Paul...

I like him..but we have our differance in character that we need to work out... I hope we work things out... We shall see how bah...

Pissed by an old friend...

I had a friend who i have not spoken to in years. We just happen to chat on msn yst night so we were just catching on old times. We were just having the normal convesation like "so what are you doing now or where are you staying?" when he suddenly sent a msg that going like that "did i tell you i'm married so i can only msg on weekday or during office hours coz my wife don't like". I mean we are just catching up with old times and you make it sound like i will harrass you with msgs and make your wife upset!! and for the record he was the one who msged me first. i don't understand how people can be so shitty as talking...

Crazy Weekend...

The past sat night was a little crazy. We went to St James at DrangonFly...I have alot to drink but still manage to go home fine..haha... Some of my friends said i went alittle crazy but i thought i was fine. It was my friends who got too "interactive" haha..Well my thought now is when its time to play..play hard..esp now i don't need to account to anyone. Work hard, play hard. Just need to make sure what happen in the clubs, stay in the club.

Pacing...and moving forward..

I have been pacing on the same spot for a while now... and its time to pacing and moving forward again... i have a few things i want to do but need planning and the right time... Well.. Concentrate...Left Right Left Right....Straight ahead...

Soon another year has passed.

It's November again. Recently time passed you so far that you dont even have time to reflect. Everyone start the year with dreams...goals and hopes...now at the end of the year, we all start reflecting on what we have gone through and achieve or not...hmmm...makes me start to reflect on mine...

1 hr to a year older.

This is the first time that I am not excited to celebrate my birthday. Its not that i am afraid of getting old but i just did not seem to be in the mood of celebrating. As maybe i feel there is nothing to celebrate. Nothing exciting or deserving to celebrate. Its just getting a year older. No big deal. Its like my soul has lost its sparkle. I really wish it will be back soon, that i can find it back soon.

Tears for Smiles..

History is repeating again.. I can sense you turning away from me again. I think this is just how you are. You are turning away. I am not going to stop you. You are not looking back as you walk away. You try to be quiet and sneak away but i can feel the distance even though it is not obvious. You walk away and i am not going to chase or stop you. Maybe you are not mine to keep and your smile that night when you read her msg has made it clear. Each Smile I show when i talk about you is an exchange of 10 tearful times i cry for you. It hurts even more that it is the second time i let you do this to me. Maybe I feel for you coz you are my first boyfriend and a man of a few of my first times. Even though you are moving away, i will still be a friend to you. I wish you well and joy. If you are happy so will i be happy... Good luck and happiness to both of us...

Hopes dashed...

I decided that its not my cup of tea or should i say it was not mine in the first place so what is there to choose. I will try every effort to change my feeling and thought about it. It would be easier now then later. It was almost a fairytale for me but this is reality. So i have to live with it and move on.

A walk since a long time...

Today i was supposed to meet a friend for his birthday dinner but last min he had a family dinner. Somethings happen yesterday and today made me think very hard. I always wanted something so simple but yet it has become so difficult to understand. Today was a thunderous and rainy day. I walk from Somersert all the way home. I wanted to walk through the rain and hear the raindrops on my umbrella... I wanted to hear the rain as my thought raced through my mind. It was a long walk but when I got home. I did not feel tired. I was very calm throughout the walk. Everyone was running and hurrying to get out of the rain but i was no hurry. I almost wanted to walk as slow as i can untill i got my thought sorted out But the rain was not going to wait for me. It stopped when i was almost home. My thoughts was still as messed up but i manage to make a decision but i am not sure if i can follow through.

Last week of September..

Well.. It has been an normal but with a few small surprises..Things i never thought would happen happened for this week.. I was happy about but did not want it to get to used to it coz i will be disappointed and upset...Well still I am glad it happen so often.. if you are wondering what is happen.. Time will be able to tell

Sleepless In Singapore...

Well, its another sleepless night at home.... Finger "dancing" through the remote...Thanks God for the cables for such time like these... You reading this post must be thinking " poor lonely gal"... Well maybe be i am or not... While watching TV, i draw and read my book during advertisements... And i did some planning for my future studies and some of my own in my life... Something struck me while thinking of some stuff which will be in my next post.. Anyway i got my result for my final 2 subjects of my diploma... Well for economics i got distinction and credit for principle of marketing... i think i did quite well for this diploma... I had 8 subjects for this course and i have 5 distinction out of 8 and the rest is credit.... Over all i think i did well.. the next would be my degree.. but i cant decide on the subject... in the beginning i was planning to business studies majoring management but now i am having second thoughts.. now i want to psychology... hmm...it would something interesting to study... "The mind".. Everyone is so different and the things we go through makes us invidual... Maybe i was even hoping that the more i understand about others then more i will be able to understand myself and bring closures for lousy things that happen to me and understand myself more... i know what i want but its not always choices that i can make...

13 Sept 07...midnight of 12 Sept 07...

A friend of mine is telling me to sleep soon before i start to nap on my first day... haha.. i shall heed his advice and try to sleep...Nite...ZZZZZ...

110907

It is one of the most fun day i had for a while now.. Maybe also it was because i was out with someone i like.. He probably know about how i feel or not.. Either ways its not important.. coz i have decided to leave things as we are... Friends... Coz i rather be friends with him and always be able to see him and hang out... well On to the details... we had a hiccup trying to meet up.. wrong place and traffic.. we met up eventually.. we had dinner at Lor 5 hawker centre(my choice)... after dinner we went to bishan Junction 8 to walk... We tried to decide on a movie..he wanted 1408...i wanted No Reservation... My choice was a later time slot so i gave in... i said i would watch 1408 instead but if i would have a sleepless night, he gonna get a call from me to make him accompany to chat..haha... anyway he was sweet.. he gave in instead.. we watch No Reservation... I love the movie... Well, back to the outing, we walk ard coz we has abt 1 and half hours before the movie... we end up in the arcade playing games.. first we tried out the Time Crisis 4... we both suck at it... Then moved on to the Mario racing game..He was better at that..i totally suck at it.. we went 2 rounds and i must say it was fun... then we move to hoops.. We both are beginner at that game.. He had like 90 something and i got 63...or is it 62..hmmm.. anyway i realised its good for vent out..so i decided to call it "hoop therpy" next choice to my shopping therpy, when i am feeling down and need a place to let out.. that can be a choice.. its cheaper then shopping... after we had ice cream then finally it was time to watch the movie... well there are more alittle details that are too hassle to write in like walking ard best denki..sharing some jokes and chats of our lives but i realised i learnt a little more about him.. like how many people he has in his family and in what order... Anyway he is a sweet guy even though he like to criticiste me all the time...

I Heart Vintage teacups...

This is my newest interest... I want to start my teacup collection!!

2 days without my mobile phone

For this week, i did not have to work.. I am on leave... one and half weeks of leave to be exact... For the past 2 days, i keep forgetting to bring my phone out or i would forget about my phone for the whole day. When i finally remember it would be bedtime already. But i realised i would not have any missed calls or messages from my friends. It made me realise my stand and thoughts my friends have of me. Its either they are waiting for me to call them or they think i am busy. But those are excuses i came up with. I know actually there is no one in my life now that is truely bother with what happen to me everyday. What i am doing now or thinking does not curious anyone or have anyone think of me and wonder what i would be doing this very moment. I was thinking if i truely were to die today now at this moment who would know 2 hrs later. Only my family i guess.. or my best friend... Well enough of depressing stuff... I got a new job waiting for me so i guess... when one does not have a social life, one will turn to work... I have plans and passion for my second love "Fashion" and i hope someday i will be able to fulfill them... Well i also have a new interest besides collecting snowglobes, which is collecting vintage teacups... If anyone know where to find them, let me know...

Final 2 Exams to complete for the course...

Yeah...its my last semseter for the course but i will have to work very hard coz exams is next Tues and Fri.... Economics and Principle of Marketing.... Jia You!!! Gambata!! Way to Go!!

Angel Lover...

Is the perfect lover or soulmate for everyone of us? There are many different women who broken or hurt by this thing we call Love.. So do we really need a group of people aka "Angel Lovers" who will guide our heart back to the "right" path. What is the right path? What is the right way to love or be love? I know there is a saying that " there is definately a soulmate for everyone" but i think i am sick of that saying and lost faith to it... Someone please help me to regain faith...

Got Head Hunted!!

The last time this happen to me was about 8 years ago... and even then the offer was not as good as this one.. I am really glad becoz at least my work is recognized in my circle of industry. And it is the record time i have ever heard on a job offer... I went to the interview at 10am...i got a call from HR at 12am to check on some of my details...At 4 pm, i got the job offer... All in a period of 6 hours... Wow!! Even I am surprised... But still i am very glad it happen... I hope it will open new levels of the corporate ladder for me to move. But i am still confused if i should take up the job offer becoz i have been with my people now for 7 years plus already..They are almost family to me...i was already crying when i ask my manager of his opinion of the job offer, well for those who are surprised, i am very close with my manager.. We are like good friends, in fact very good friends..If i choose to stay, it will definately be becoz of them...my colleauges... I have the weekend to think about it...They want my answer by Monday...Actually they even wanted me to sign immediately.

Happy Birthday Singapore!!

or Happy National day Singapore!! Well well.. it has been 42 years now... although Singaporean can be one of the strangest citizens in world... We complain all day of everything of our country but yet when the time come regardless sickness (SARS) or celebration ( like today), we are stand united... ironic bunch of people..dont you think....i manage to borrow some photos for my blog too..keke.. this is our 1st year in a new location too...marina bay...

Your Shadow...

Or should i say a glimpse of your outline... 030807 a day that caught me by surprise...A sunny day with my Mp3 blasting the song "Stranger" in my ears....Crossing that zebra crossing to work...without a sound, a car stopped right in front of me... the number plate is so familiar...Suddenly it struck me..It was your car... i turn to look at the driver but i can only see an outline but i know it was you...i turn back and continue to walk... i could see you zapped past from the glass door's reflection.. i know you saw me too... Our first encounter in 3 years....i never expected it to be like that... anyway maybe it was finally the right time...no hard feelings and no more tears....

Music to heal the soul...

Well, i agree the phrase that one can never be a island on his own...But if people like me who have no one to share or support my thoughts,we will find a replacement to fill that void. Some people will get pets but some others like me, we use music. In the last 2 months, i have bought the most music cd then i did in the last year. I bought such a wide range of songs that i can open a cd rental store.. I bought cds ranging from the piano recitals of Chopin to Jazz to Chinese to Pop... I even bought a MP3 player so i can hear music almost every hour... Every new day does not bring more joy but more disappointment... Even my dreams are disturbing and negative.. They always say think positive and postive things will happen to you... But how does one stay positive when everything around becomes negative? My best best friend is now my MP3... Even my best friends who are happy to the point that i cant bear to tell anything i am feeling coz there is not point to share more negative when people are postive..right? Now i can hope i can get through this dry patch before all my postiveness dies out or at least before i go into depression.. Music heals the soul... i hope so...

Blogging at 5:15 am

Well for those who happen to read this... Its not because i cant sleep that made me blog so "early" in the night... its only an act of how a parent can be so selfish and inconsiderate... Parents can be damn selfish and unable to be understood at such time... Who may you are wondering is keeping me up so late...its my mother... Welcome to a peek into my messed up and deranged family... don't get me wrong.... i love my mother and my family but they can get quite crazy at times..That i have no words to describe them and the things they do...

To be continued..

Well apparently there is nothing to comtinued... Things happens.. As usual, happiness and bliss are not my choice to choose... Haizz... i guess its just my life..

Confused again?

Well, i guess it does not take me to move out of the happy mode. its either i am negative or a repellent to things that are happy and joyful. Something happen over the last week that made me happy. Things went past fast.. Emotions got involved, now i am upset and confused. I hate it when such things happen to me... i wish it never happen before..never should cross my path again.. my old emotions was not the best or should i say the worst but at least i was used to it and comfortable with it in my life. Now that it has been exchanged for this new emotion which make me very uncertain, unhappy and confused. Suddenly i wish for the old emotion... The new one is too confusing and distracting for my life.

Missing Friend...

Today i realised one of my good friend's friendster account is missing.. i wonder what happen..Did he deleted it? I hope he is okie...(i think i am the first to notice it coz i asked ard and no one seems to know) hmm..

Happy but yet confused and unsure

Despite all the unhappy events i have written on...somethings that have happen in my life that are positive. Maybe its my turn for happiness and joys.. Well,thing are still uncertain so i will update the actual facts when i know and can be sure.. Maybe good things can happen to me too..i hope there will be a good ending..coz i have been unlucky for quite a long long while..To be Continued...

07.07.07

07th day of 07 month of 2007... This day will only come again in an 100 years... Well many people will be getting married or give birth on this special day.. I got quite a few friends attending wedding dinners today at different locations. Its also the "Save the Earth" day... Global warming is everywhere from products to MTV... "Live Simply so that others may Simply Live" is my favourite line that i have heard for this awareness.

There was even a concert to raise awareness...called LIVE EARTH..

But they also raise many opposition that the concert is using up and wasting more energy and natural resources that have been put in to make the concert happen... Contradiction... that's the way of life...

Live Earth is a 24-hour, 7-continent concert series taking place on 7/7/07 that will bring together more than 100 music artists and 2 billion people to trigger a global movement to solve the climate crisis. Live Earth will reach this worldwide audience through an unprecedented global media architecture covering all media platforms - TV, radio, Internet and wireless channels. Live Earth marks the beginning of a multi-year campaign led by the Alliance for Climate Protection, The Climate Group and other international organizations to drive individuals, corporations and governments to take action to solve global warming. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is the Chair of the Alliance and Partner of Live Earth. Live Earth was founded by Kevin Wall, the Worldwide Executive Producer of Live 8, an event that brought together one of the largest audiences in history to combat poverty. Wall formed a partnership with Al Gore and the Alliance for Climate Protection to ensure that Live Earth inspires behavioral changes long after 7/7/07. Live Earth will stage official concerts at Giants Stadium in New York; Wembley Stadium in London; Aussie Stadium in Sydney; Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro; the Coca-Cola Dome in Johannesburg; Makuhari Messe in Tokyo; the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai; and HSH Nordbank Arena in Hamburg.Live Earth concerts will be broadcast to a live worldwide audience by MSN at http://www.liveearth.msn.com/. With support from the U.S. Green Building Council, creators of the LEED Green Building Rating System, Live Earth will implement new Green Event Guidelines. All Live Earth venues will be designed and constructed by a team of sustainability engineers who will address the environmental and energy management challenges of each concert site, as well as the operations of sponsors, partners and other Live Earth affiliates. Each venue will not only be designed to maintain a minimum environmental impact, but will showcase the latest state-of-the-art energy efficiency, on-site power generation, and sustainable facilities management practices. Live Earth is a project of the SOS campaign , which is using a powerful multimedia platform - films, television, radio, Internet, books, wireless and others - to move people to combat the climate crisis

In need of A Short Getaway...

Haizz.. i want an short holiday!! Work and stress and things happening in my life is getting me all tensed up.. i need a holiday to calm down or set my spirits back up...My last mini-holiday was about 2 weeks ago.. I was on a company cruise... It was my first time on a cruise.. it was a short trip but not too bad if all you want to do on the trip is sit and relax and do nothing all day..but its sure is an expensive way to relax for just 1 and 1/2 days..

Concern of Our Life..

I think reactly what concern most in our lives is finding a soul mate and global warming. People with nethier will want to find a soul mate first coz it is like when the world comes to and end one day, who do you want to spend it with..Will there be a one person you would want to spend your last hour with? Ya maybe some will say they are too busy but work and career are just distraction in life to make us look more accomplised and distracted from what concern we placed in our hearts. Some may not be able to have the chance to spend the last hours together but just knowing there is one person that is there or want to be with you would be good enough for most of us. And when people have love in their heart or life , they will be concerned of the surrounding like how the weather is getting warmer.... anyway here's my best way to spread the awarness of global warming... Remember to wear green this weekend on 7 and 8 July to show your support...No Earth No Home No Life No Love... So do your part to help coz even Linken Park is singing about.....

My past weekend..

The past week that has past which I met up or chat with a few good friends... Some disppointed me, Some i had managed to have a good chat with them. After my sunday service, i was out having lunch with my mother...While we were chatting, my mummy said something about me that went straight to my heart and brought tears to my eyes. She said "The reason you are not feeling so joyful coz you keep too much sorrow in your heart. Being in Love is the best way to be joyful so try to be in love with God. Maybe you will happier." A very close friend of mine will be move out of Singapore for a short while actually 2 friends are leaving Singapore for work. One will be leaving for 2 years and my close close girlfriend will be leaving for at least 6 months... She will be going to Shanghai for her new career. I am very glad for her as it is a great chance for her. I wish i have a chance too... Actually that was what i told her that I wish i could get a chance to leave Singapore for a short period of time to work and stay on my own. She was surprised by my intention coz all my friends and family are here. I told her that the reason i want to leave Singapore is becoz without leaving this place and being alone on my own and away from my past, i feel that i cant have a new start for my life. Maybe its also becoz i dont know what i cant leave behind or live without anymore coz I think no one here have the feeling of "cant live without me in their life" if i were ever to leave here. I also have got to chat with a good friend that i have not seen a while. He ask me why i always sound so unhappy and that i always think so much until i make myself suffer. He even came upwith this "bug and windshield" theory - "Just like twist of fate, sometimes you've to be the windshield, sometimes you've to be the bug...You can't always be the bug." But i don't understand any part of his theory at all.. so if any of you who happen to read this and understand, do drop me a comment to explain to me...

How fair is our legal system?

Today something happened that made me realised that our Singapore legal system is so full of crap or S**T... The law is only fair to those with money and statues OR people who can afford expensive lawyers.. Even cheap lawyers are crappy coz they say they give you a discount from the "standard rates" since you cant afford that much. They also give a discount in the work for you. The amount of work and effort and the chances of winning a case is based on the money you spend on the case..It is not about those noble talk of justice and truth or facts. So Poor People who want to win a case if you don't have the money... it is best to keep what you have and not give to the cheap crappy lawyers.

SINGAPORE JUSTICE = MONEY + EXPENSIVE FAMOUS LAWYER

p.s. Personal note to someone..Can you please "roll over and die" coz then she will stop trying and fighting and stop wasting my money unnecessary and I will stop suffering....

Day of Disappointment & Despair...

Yesterday was one of the worst days i had... I threw away $60 buck into the trash by mistake... got shit from my salesperson and had him complaining about me to my boss... i missed my class due to work.... Some plans that i had made a huge twist and changes that arupted my work and plans..now it is not as profitable as planned... My mum heard abt them, she was not too encouraging... Now i am at a loss... Loss of Joy Full of Disappoinment, Loss of Positivness Full of Despair... It makes me wonder that i seem to be a failure all my life.. i have never truely have succeeded in anything regardless work, life , love, goals, dreams.. Nothing at all!! It is my postivness that has brought me so far... but now i think i am starting to lose that positive so i dont know if i can go on dreaming, living... i hate this.....

Reviews (Collected from Others):

(1)The Heavy Price of Feminine Beauty

Strong images can be tempting, especially in cinematic tradition. The dilemma with commercial films is that no matter how convincingly they try to convey a meaningful message it can easily get lost within the framework of a genre or the style of a film. In "200 Pounds Beauty" it's evident that the director Kim Yong-hwa has tried hard to avoid praising the high standards of medical technology that have turned plastic surgery into something approaching an art form. His vehicle is the story of a woman who transforms her life through plastic surgery. Beauty isn't everything, the film says, but that's just the film's way of offering a cliche instead of a conclusion.Maybe it's because the film, which was based on a famous Japanese comic book, was advertised as the first commercial film made in Korea to take a position on plastic surgery. Or maybe it's because it stars Kim Ah-joong, an up-and-coming actress as the film's heroine. Either way, the first half of the film was built around anticipating the glamorous lifestyle that was bound to become the heroine's, by right, once her surgery is complete. In fact there is almost a sense of relief by the time Ha-na, the film's heroine, goes under the knife. "200 Pounds Beauty" is a story of a woman, named Ha-na (played by Kim Ah-joong) who makes a living working for a phone sex company and as a ghost singer for a top female star. In her dreams she nurses the hope that she will one day become a singer herself. Then she decides to undergo intensive plastic surgery, after overhearing a man she has a crush on gossiping about her looks. But beauty changes everything. Just like the comment made to her by a fortuneteller, who tells her "face is a matter of fate", the world is a different place after her surgery. She flips her hair and pretends to shed tears after she crashes into an angry taxi driver. Smitten, he gives her a generous smile and a sincere apology even though the accident was her fault. She attains everything she had wanted, including a new career and the man she had loved so dearly. She wonders whether she could ever go back to being the person she used to be, now that the world treats her so differently. But she is facing another barrier. Her friend tells her that men think of women who underwent plastic surgery as "monsters". Her lover shares the same feeling about beauty. Pointing at a piece of raw fish with the tip of his chopsticks, he says he prefers "natural above cultivated". The film poignantly reveals the way beauty exercises its power in our society. At the same time it shows the duality of plastic surgery; the way society constantly reminds women that beauty is attainable, yet women who go through plastic surgery are condemned, because they challenge the male fantasy of effortless, natural beauty. The film shows how women are consumed and discarded like a disposable product in a capitalist culture; a singer cannot debut without a pretty face, but even with beauty and style she will still be discarded when she is no longer popular.

(2) '200 Pounds Beauty' give laughs and warmths

Romantic comedy a 'feel-good' storyYoo Seung-gi (poppingp)Which is more important, outside appearance or inside nature, when people "choose" their lover? Could the person's sincerity be transmitted to another person, especially his or her lover? "200 Pounds Beauty" ask moviegoers such questions that are not easy to answer immediately.Kang Han-na, played by Kim Ah-joong, is a fat and unattractive girl who sings back stage for a professional singer with a pretty face but no talent. Kang is so good-natured that she does phone-sex as a part-time job in order to earn medical expenses for her mentally-handicapped father.Kang has a crush on music producer Han Sang-jun, played by Joo Jin-mo, but she fails to attract him because of her appearance. At his birthday party, Kang overhears Han tell the pretty-faced singer that Kang is just an item that is meant to be used when useful. Heartbroken after hearing this, Kang decides to undergo plastic surgery from head to toe before rising to stardom with the fake name of Jenny. In her first concert, however, Kang confesses everything, including the fact that she is not Jenny but Kang, and that she went through plastic surgery. Kang fails as Jenny, but succeeds as Kang Han-na, eventually gaining love from Han."200 Pounds Beauty" is a typical "cinderella story" with a happy ending. Against all odds, Kang wins the love of a handsome and promising prince even after Han comes to know the truth, and she becomes a popular singer. Kang has a good nature and pure heart as well as perfect appearances.While watching the movie with its obvious ending, however, I was deeply impressed with Kang's "success" story, and, especially during the concert scene, I was not able to stop bursting into tears because of my sympathy and compassion for her.Even though "200 Pounds Beauty" seems an old-fashioned movie, why was I so deeply moved after watching it? First, I think the movie has a good story, although some critics say that it is not a well-made film. Some comedy films try to excessively squeeze out laughs from viewers. However, "200 Pounds Beauty" is mainly focused on Kang's love for Han, adding some comic components into the right places at the right time. This film is a melodrama rather than a comedy, succeeding in bringing about natural and non-excessive laughs.Second, the film gives some warm feelings, showing that the whole heart from the bottom of a good-natured person could be transmitted to another person. Of course, it would be improbable in reality for an ordinary girl both to have lots of cash to go through extensive plastic surgery and to become naturally beautiful like the main actress in the film. In addition, I'm not sure that one person's sincerity can be delivered to others in most cases.While watching the film, however, I can escape from a reality into the world of warmhearted and humane friends, family, and lovers. It is always doubtful in reality whether the real world is cold, but I can for sure feel warm from the bottom of my heart in such a film that a good-natured person both wins love personally and gains fame socially. During and after watching this movie, I felt happy and "warm" from my heart.This will appear in no other news medium.

_____________________________________________________

Well, As for me... I watch this movie 3 times in the cinema.. My friends and colleagues all told me i should wait for the Dvd to buy and watch as many times as i like... But nothing beats watch on the wide screen right? Why i like this movie so much? Actually i dont really know but i just love it... i Love the positive attitude of the actress when she was fat and her voice is beautiful.... i am looking for her songs now esp those she sang in the movie....I think there is nothing wrong with plastic surgery... Who does not want to be beautiful? Sometimes when nature is not really fair, a slight minor man-made help is okie with me... but too much is overkill... I Heart Kim Ah-joong.. Haha

Poetry....

I have been starting to read poetry recently... I manage to learn about this poet... I love most of his works... I cut and pasted one of my favourite...

I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never bloomsbut carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;so I love you because I know no other way
that this: where I does not exist, nor you,so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

Our Heart or Our Mind? Which is more complicated?

This question pop up on my mind today... Well I was at home slacking out.. I had to take urgent leave to babysit my nephew as my mum had something to do and could not watch my nephew.... Was on msn chatting with my friends... This thought came to me... Many say the mind is a complex organ...It creates thoughts, dreams and memories... What about the heart? It plays a whole different role... But it causes desire.. Both are just as important and neither can be considered more superior to the other. Without the heart, the brain dies and without the brain, the heart loses it purpose. but who should be the better judge... Problem we follow our minds..Dreams who follow our heart.. What about love? Should i listen to my heart or mind?

10.04.2007

This is a new happy day for me.... Well, its the day that i finally got my driving licence back... i was so happy.. I mass msged all my close friends to share my joy... I have waited for almost 2 years odd to get this back... I even did quite well despite my short period of practise...i got 8 points which was the same as my first time...Anyway my mum was equally excited as me and ask to see my new licence the moment she saw me...I told its a piece of paper..The actual one come in 2 weeks time...Her next question was.."So when are you going to buy a car?"... i was surprised but anyway i told her "Not soon lah...No money"..Keke...

"To Love and The Price We Pay"

Love is suppose to be free...It seems free with friends and family or even relationships... But the truth is there is a price we need to pay...I am not talking about dollars and cents but time and efforts.... How much we are willing to spend on the particular relationship regardless between friends or couples.... No matter how much we may spend, its does not guarantee the same amount of rewards or returns that we will receive... So "Are We Still Be Willing To Spend or Pay That Price?"... Most of the time is the answer is Yes.. why? Coz its Love.... This is where the phrase come Love is blind.... 3 Cheers to those who dare to love....

"After Hours" on 5

I was just watching this new drama on Channel 5... it was like Season 2 for the first drama "Chase"... I Loved it.. Now i must remember to watch it every week...*jotting down in my diary*

The lead actor GABRIEL...his character is almost perfect ( i mean the romance mush mush part) he is so sweet , he just lacks the "funny bone" i guess.. but such guys are just fictional.. they never really exist... Uhhhh...
_______________________________________________________

Cute screen couple Utt and Linda Liao reprise their roles in Chase to reunite on the small screen for After Hours. Joined by Joanne Peh and Max Loong, the four are best buds who tackle love, friendships and relationships in every direction in this wistful new situational dramedy. After Hours picks up six months after Chase ends, where Gabriel and Ellie goes on a holiday together. Returning from the first season are Gabriel Peh (Utt) and Ellie Chua (Linda Liao), while two new leads April Tay (Joanne Peh) and Danny Mereles (Max Loong) up the eye candy. April and Ellie are former classmates, now friends. Danny is an old friend of Gabriel’s as well, but they lost contact for a while. Danny spent some time in the US, but is now back for good. The four of them have become good buddies and hang out together regularly. The situational romantic dramedy about how four friends approach love, friendships and relationships will throw up some thought-provoking questions for viewers too.

WHAT HAPPENED IN BETWEEN AFTER HOURS & CHASE - NOW & THEN
At the end of Chase, Gabriel and Ellie went off on a holiday together. They came back and have been together ever since. Gabriel worked on a huge Breast Cancer Awareness campaign that Lauren Lee (his boss from Mad About Ads) managed to land just as the ad agency was on the brink of closing down. After the campaign, Lauren finally decides to voluntarily close Mad About Ads. She goes to work for the Singapore Breast Cancer Foundation as its head of publicity. David (Gabriel’s best friend from Chase) lands a hot advertising job in Sydney, and is now based there. Dora, Gabriel’s mother, has given birth and decided to settle down with her pilot husband Uncle John (they married at the end of Chase) in his hometown in Kuala Lumpur. Occasionally, she travels with him on his overseas flights. Uncle Rob retires to Bintan, selling his house in the process. Ellie is now staying at one of Uncle Rob’s many investments – an apartment downtown. Gabriel starts his own ad agency, Angel Advertising. Essentially the agency is just Gabriel and Danny, the Creative Director. They don’t have an office – Gabriel works from home and a variety of Starbucks, Coffee Beans and the NLB – wherever he can get internet access. Danny doesn’t do a whole lot, but he knows a lot of people, and that means potential clients for Gabriel. Plus Gabriel keeps him around because he’s (a) cheap; and (b) he gets around. By the start of Season 2, Gabriel has a small but loyal group of clients. The last we left Ellie, she had been forced to close down the vet clinic after a takeover by one of Uncle Rob’s friends. When she returned from the vacation with Gabriel, she tried to start up a pet food store. The store ran for about six months, and then closed down when the capital ran out. Now, Ellie is a writer for a pet magazine, MyPet Monthly. She is like an Aunt Aggie for pet owners, helping them out with their pet problems. What she hopes to do is slowly amass some savings, and then open her own pet store chain. April works as a personal trainer, so often Ellie and April meet at the gym. Danny tries to bum free gym session off April so he can meet chicks. Outside of work and shifts, the four friends meet at a variety of locations around Singapore – hot restaurants, happening bars, art museums, the gym.

THE CAREER MAN GABRIEL PEH, 26
Growing up without a father (he passed died before Gabriel was born), Gabriel formed a tight bond with his mother, Dora, but is not a mommy’s boy. Actually, these days, he finds that he is in many ways, the parent in the relationship. In fact, in many aspects, his mother is a more carefree soul than he is. You would never think of it to look at him now but Gabriel was a nerd in school. Skinny, bespectacled and pimply, he was always the wallflower of the class. An especially big scar in his school life was his rejection by Ellie Chua, the most popular girl in school. Having been harboring the hots for her for 3 years of secondary school, she sent him out the door with a rejection and a snide remark. However, all that was resolved. Having to choose between him and the guy she was originally engaged to – Chad – she chose … Gabriel. Gabriel is currently running his own agency, Angel Advertising. It’s a really small agency – just him and his creative director, Danny, but they have a small and loyal client following. Now that he’s found the woman he was chasing, Gabriel is monogamous. Gabriel and Ellie have not had sex, as they have sworn off pre-marital sex.
GABRIEL’S OBJECTIVE:
He sees himself being married to Ellie by the time he’s 30. He’ll have three kids – two boys and a girl – all by the time he’s 36 (they’ll be two years apart). He wants to be the kind of father he never had. He will spend the twilight years of his life growing old with Ellie, still madly in love.
OTHER QUIRKS AND CHARACTERISTICS:
Old fashioned when it comes to romance. He sends flowers, writes little notes, and is very creative when it comes to love. Gabriel lives for the moment. He is the sort of person who will not make a reservation at a restaurant that is known to be busy during peak hours, instead preferring to just “chance it” and show up. Which is the total opposite of Ellie. He is also the kind of guy who shows up when he’s ready, not the most punctually-precise person on earth. It’s not that he is disorganized – he just doesn’t think he should kill himself to be on time. Gabriel is impulsive – he’s the sort of person who might set out to buy a basic handphone for $200, and end up getting a 3G state-of-the-art for $999. He is also partial to charities. A bleeding heart, he is the sort of guy who would lend his life savings to a friend for a life-saving operation without checking up on it first. He does not manage money that well. He always feels that somehow – through some karmic law – if you spend money with a good heart, you will always get it back somehow. Gabriel has a comics collection, ranging from old copies of Beano and Dandy when he was young, to Marvel and DC comics

THE ROMANTIC ELLIE CHUA, 25
Living most of her life as an orphan (her parents passed on in a car accident when she was 10), Ellie has been taken care of by her Uncle Robert since. She returns home (even though she sometimes disregards this tiny island as “home”) to help him with his new pet store chain and in the process falls in love, then out of love, then finally in love again with Gabriel. After closing down her veterinarian clinic, Ellie found herself feeling lost and not really having a direction in life. Through a friend of a friend, Ellie was recommended to a pet magazine – a new startup in Singapore called MyPet Monthly. First starting off as a freelancer, Ellie is now a junior editor at the magazine. Besides overseeing a team of writers and graphic artists, she also writes an agony aunt column for the magazine, giving pet owners advice on dealing with problem pets.
ELLIE’S OBJECTIVE:
Ellie does not plan to stay with MyPet Monthly forever. She is putting aside her salary as savings so she can start a pet store chain on her own, similar to the one she was working at. Although she has had offers to join other veterinary clinics, she wants to be independent, her own boss. She thinks she will be very good at running her own business, and that is what she plans to do eventually – open a chain of pet stores around the region. She wants to be a millionaire by the time she’s 35, modeling herself after the many businesswomen in Singapore with success stories.
OTHER QUIRKS AND CHARACTERISTICS:
Ellie is a control freak. She needs to be a part of every decision that is made, and will usually obsesses over the minutest details. This is what often makes her endearing to Gabriel, but the rest of the time, drives him crazy. She is also concerned what people think of her. She is the sort of person who will not be happy if one person in the room is dissatisfied. Ellie runs her life with clockwork precision. The complete opposite of Gabriel, she will start planning her weekend activities at the beginning of the week, making sure that her dinner reservations, spa appointments, etc. are booked well in advance. She carries a PDA around with her where she records all her appointments. She feels naked without it around, as the order of life is what keeps her grounded. She is not impulsive. When shopping, she will look around for the best deal before settling on something. She is very prudent with her money, and in extreme cases, considered stingy. But she believes she is saving up for the future. Ellie is into self-help books, the ones written by so-called business and self-help gurus, like 10 Mistakes That Highly Competent People Make. She is always trying out tactics she learns in the books on Gabriel and her friends, which sometimes drives them crazy.

THE INDEPENDENT APRIL TAY, 25
April’s parents – and her family for that matter – live in Malaysia. She was sent to Singapore to study as a young girl because her cousin was coming to school here. An aunt took care of the three of them in a flat in Bishan, sending them to school and making sure they studied and ate right. April sometimes goes back to Malaysia to visit her parents, but for her, home is in Singapore. Despite being away from her parents, she had a fairly regular upbringing and one which, in fact, has made her independent and some would say, a bit stubborn. April had one true love – or at least she thinks – Siong Yun, this guy in her secondary school who was going out with her best friend for a while. The sparks were there, but she never made a move and neither did he. Eventually Siong Yun broke up with her best friend and went abroad on a scholarship to study. They never kept in touch, but she never stopped thinking about him all through polytechnic, wondering what if … Since then, April has had one boyfriend after another, but she hasn’t been able to hold down a relationship for longer than three months. In fact, she always gets worried round the three month mark that it’s not going to last … and it often turns out to be true. Some would say it’s become a self-fulfilling prophecy. She has alternately been called by her ex-boyfriends too independent, too stubborn, too insecure, too cold, too suffocating, too … When it comes to everything else in life, April has got it all together. But throw her into an interpersonal relationship, and she just loses all manner of control. A sporty girl, April graduates from polytechnic with a degree in physical education. She gets a certification and works as a personal trainer in a gym. She has many interesting clients, including Mrs Wong, a lady in her late-40s who gives her advice on relationships, being a serial dater herself.
APRIL’S OBJECTIVE:
April wants to find true love – a man who will love and accept her for what she is. Someone who will tolerate her quirks and will not be afraid to stand up to her independence. She is demanding as a partner – sometimes she wants her space, and men find it hard to be at her beck and call when she needs them and then ignored when she wants to be alone.
OTHER QUIRKS AND CHARACTERISTICS:
April is a hygiene freak. While she is not obsessive-compulsive, she does believe that cleanliness is next to godliness. She always carries disinfectant with her, just in case. She does not share utensils when eating. She is also very outspoken and frank. She says what is on her mind, even if she regrets it later. She is the sort of person who, if she sees a pregnant woman standing on the train, will ask a young man to get up and give her his seat. April likes going to the movies alone. She also keeps the ticket stubs from all the movies she’s seen, so she can remember when she saw which particular movie. She is also the sort that will take adventure holidays – trekking in Nepal, skydiving, etc. And she doesn’t mind going on her own.

THE OPEN-MINDED DANNY MERELES, 26
Danny went to the same secondary school as Gabriel. Although they were both classmates, they were different in personality. While Gabriel was a shy, nerdy mommy’s boy, Danny was the guy who got all the girls. Except Ellie. Somehow or other, she never quite succumbed to his charms, a fact which still bugs Danny till today. Because he spent more time on girls than grades, it was no big surprise that Danny couldn’t get into university. Despite not being academically-inclined, Danny does have one talent – he is artistic. He is always filled with great creative ideas – the only problem is, he doesn’t have the stamina or discipline to follow any of them through. If he did, today Singaporeans might be enjoying innovations like chicken rice flavoured ice-cream (a food and dessert, in one package), Menstruation Menus in restaurants (They’re like Confinement Food, except for ladies who are going through that time of the month. After all, they have degustation menus, right?), and the MacLiver Burger (liver is healthy, right?) He spent four years at LaSalle College For The Arts, driving girls crazy and his lecturers too, but for different reasons. He graduated (barely) with a degree in Visual Arts or Design – he’s not really sure which. After that, it was a series of freelance jobs, one after the other. None of the freelance jobs paid really well, but Danny has a habit of being able to find money, even if he isn’t able to hold on to any of it. He either borrows from his friends, gets his dates to pay (and yes, they do) or simply talks his way into favours. In short, he’s a hustler with a heart. When Gabriel decided to set up his own agency, he ran into Danny. Gabriel made him creative director because (a) Danny talked his way into it; (b) he pays Danny on a commission basis, so Danny doesn’t get paid if he doesn’t bring any jobs in, and (c) because Danny has a way with the lady clients. Secretly though, Gabriel is still jealous of Danny’s ways with the ladies. Somehow, they just can’t seem to help being attracted to him.
DANNY’S OBJECTIVE:
Danny wants to date (or more in particular, have sex with) women from just about every major race on Earth before he finally settles down. In other words, he doesn’t plan to get attached to one girl until he feels he’s had a comprehensive idea of what girls from both sides of the world are like, in bed and out.
OTHER QUIRKS AND CHARACTERISTICS:
Danny can give sexual statistics of the top of his head – he knows which country has the highest frequency of sex, how frequently males in Asia over the age of 30 have sex, etc. etc. In other words, he pretty much has a one track mind. Danny does not like animals – to him, animals and children are in the same category – noisy, annoying and prone to public displays of their bodily function. He also has a long string of ex-girlfriends – of all ages, social denominations and different marital status. It is not unusual, when the four friends are out that they are always bumping into someone who has “been” with Danny. Danny is intimately familiar with the Kamasutra.
