i didnt know wat IMF stands for...until Quinnie told me so a while ago. International Monetary Fund. yea. i'm losing touch with the world, however small some claims Singapore to be. i dun even know wat my frens are doin all around the island. i dun even know how badly injured my Tekong friend is. i dun even know how Foo is doin cos i haven got the time to visit. heck i dun even know what i'm doin sometimes.

the unknown. while it might be a realm of possibilities, it's an elusive being i'm always tryin to put my fingers on. an enigma. the what-ifs. the maybes. sometimes i get sick of it. and in a way, after shi-lar-ker's very "tiresome" entry, the fatigue has rubbed onto me.

why am i writing this anyway?

i came here to post about Goong. i have nothin much to blog about these days. i dun feel v strongly very often. perhaps only towards tv and music and movies these days. i jus feel very indifferent u know. liek, DO U TINK I CARE ala beauty-chua-peihong. i miss her saying that empowerin line.

my social circle is the the incredible-shrinking-hole, and makin new frens in school is slower than tryin to count the rice on my plate, whatever that means. on that note, channel U used a Kings Of Convenience song for a trailer. yar. such randomness.

so back to Goong. i am at the last disc of part 1. it's hopelessly romantic. not in the candlelight dinners every 5 min, with the man willing to jump into the ocean to fetch just a pearl kinda romantic. but....sweet. yes...SWEET. in the way every one envisioned themselves to fall in love with royalty, an icon of massive adoration. but it's never that blissful as it seems. seeing them fall in love gradually makes u root for them. the premise reminds me of Little Bride (xin niang 18), both couple fallin in love only after a very rash marriage, and one tt is arranged by their ancestors even b4 they met. but the female lead is sooooo much less irritating than the female lead in Little Bride. she's jus sweet, cute, adorable. easy to fall for cos she's so lovelorn lar. there's lavish sets and so many fancy costume changes.

the pace's very slow thou. but i like the slowburn. very peaceful like as if i'm really watchin in the palace. the niang-niang is so funny. but the best part is of cos the love triangle lar. slowly the characters develop, and slowly the plot thickens as the lovers fall in love. the aloof prince that rarely speaks of his emotions, but is so heartfelt when he does. the princess who sacrificed for love, and whose cheerful facade masks her sorrow. the prince-that-was who fell in love with someone he wasnt supposed to, and revenge is a slow process. and of cos, the jealous ex-lover, who desires to be not the Princess Diana, but the next Carmela, the one waiting in the wings, the one that the prince will run to, even in the presence of Diana.

i sound like a sec school girl lar. so enuf said. i will watch smthin intellectual soon tankewverymuch.

next up, The Way We Were. ar-haha. snigger.

i tink this is so blissful i jus have to put it up now. sometime ago at PPP concert. yes, i COPIED it. i cant wait for u to send.
