wait, they don't love you like i love you

there is nothing left for me to write here it seems.
a few days ago i met up with some old friends. some were driven and wants to change policies. others were successful in their own rights. makes me wonder what i've been doin with myself.
yesterday i felt redundant. unhappy with everything about myself. i need to become a better version of me.

this is beginning to sound like the whining of a twelve yr old's blog.

i love Maps. i wish i wrote Maps.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps

a love song in disguise. this is what i wanna do everytime i hear a blardy fantastic rock song.



and the fantastic Karen O with sad eyes.

It's BRITNEY, BITCH!

BRITNEY is back with her new single GIMME MORE. but all i wana really scream and say is: GIMMMMMME MOREEEEEEEE!!! take a look at her in her prime, sans boa, gyrating, and that to-kill body. then watch her much awaited/debated opening for the VMAs yesterday. she looked like she was pregnant all over again with two kids, sans bad lip-synch, unbelievably fugly wig, and worse dance moves. it seems like her dance skills were gone with her hair, and she's reduced from a front-runner to a backup. even her dancers were more entertaining. and thou the song is catchy, it sounds like an early 2000 Dark Child reject, with no vocal challenge at all. sighhhh.i know i am a lil too critical. but c'mon Britney.she's the supposed queen-of-pop of our time. surely she cld gimme moreeeee. no excuses man!





fyi if the AOL vid dun work:

Mysterious Skin

i finally could strike this movie off my list of movies to watch.

Mysteriuos Skin is about how two kids, who were raped when they were young, grew up to become totally different. one has no recollection of what happened, and assumed he was kidnapped by aliens. the other gre up to become a street hustler.

it's provocative. some scenes wld make you feel really uncomfortable. one part i was literally jaw-dropped at wat i was seeing(towards the end). i wished the writing could have been slightly better, the screen at the Arts House screening room bigger, and the seats more sloped.

but Joseph Gordon Levitt was a knockout. those piercing eyes. "godlike".

one of the more shocking movies i've seen this year. not for everyone.

i dun wana do my assignment or go to work. i just want to sit down and catch a comedy. four weddings and a funeral. kill bill. borat. i want to sit on smthin other than my hard stool. face something other than my computer screen or my books. i am throwing a tantrum...


looking forward to mysterious skin tml.

enjoy AIRMAIL SPECIAL by Nikki Yanofsky. hope it made u smile, like it did to me =)

come, quick.

cant wait to finish my assignments and catch Mysterious Skin this weekend.




and Nicole Kidman in The Invasion.





and why does Daughtry have to come on 20th Sept? it's a weekday! i'm catchin JBJ! he sld come on a weekend! weekdays r for plays! sighhhh.i really hate this.




and i cant believe it's September already. feels like 8 months lost.


i wish i am smarter than me.

王菲,将爱,不留,如果我还有快乐,也许吧

词曲:作词:王菲 作曲:王菲

我把风情给了你
日子给了他
我把笑容给了你
宽容给了他
我把思念给了你
时间给了他
我把眼泪给了你
我把照片给了你
日历给了他
我把颜色给了你
风景给了他
我把距离给了你
呼吸给了他
我把烟花给了你
节日给了他
我把电影票给了你
我把座位给了他
我把烛光给了你
晚餐给了他
我把歌点给了你
声音给了你
麦克风递给他
声音给了你
画面给了他
我把情节给了你
结局给了他
我把水晶鞋给了你
十二点给了他

我把心给了你
身体给了他
情愿什么也不留下
再也没有什么牵挂
如果我还有哀伤
让风吹散它
如果我还有快乐
如果我还有哀伤 让风吹散它
如果我还有快乐 也许吧

不留

On 23 Dec
i shall walk with tranquility, knowing that i have fulfilled all that i have set out to achieve, and perhaps more. it will be a night for me to look upon, to look back on and be proud of. i will have no regret as i look upon the faces who have stood by me, knowing that my trust in them is what that has led me thus far. tears will likely overwhelm me; tears of joy and tears of pain. i will utter appreciations and love profusions to those that have made it easy. i will be proud of my juniors and know that all is not lost through time.


i hope.

王菲講笑話

if there's any video u sld see from my blog this mth, it's this.







sigh. i feel like i dunno an old fren today. like, again, a further confirmation.

张敬轩

悲劇人物
作曲：楊芷君｜填詞：林夕｜編曲：Stanley Leung｜監製：Alvin Leong

談情是為歡喜 無須啞認受氣
只的你 還沉迷淒美
你沒法 笑著去別離

情人若愛不起 離去是種福氣
得不到 當做看不到
卻恨你 享受被拋棄

＊你固執 或放任 不管是否試過合襯
常為了剎那的吸引 得不到應得的教訓
纏綿後便慶幸 為對方苦過了亦興奮
大家都替你氣憤 要珍惜你自尊心＊

＃重複的眼淚 就是你自欺的安慰獎
你擅長 創造背叛你的失意賣相
是你堅拒平凡對象 習慣活在遐想
為膚淺漂亮 長期舔著失戀的創傷
你擅長 製造你無悔的偉大形像
凡是歌裡有悲哀這個字 (你)才願唱＃

忘掉現實的你 沉溺於悲劇美
天生你 談情如選美
這樣愛 注定要別離

凡是沒法得到 才抱著不捨棄
不爭氣 有誰憐惜你
眼淚會 逼人避開你


the MV is abit dated (its a new song), but i love this song. i love his new album. cant wait to hear Leo Ku's Moments as well.

a teaser for YY and Nincompoop.

cant wait to see Cate Blanchett ride a horse.

way back into love, take 1

from Music & Lyrics, which is not the best rom-com, but its passable :

Hugh: you are way too talented and gifted to let anyone keep you from standing.

Drew: That's wonderfully sensitive, especially for a man who wears such tight pants.

Hugh: It forces the blood to my heart.







awwwwwwwwwww.
watchin the movie, i wished i had half the wit of Hugh Grant's lines, and half of his witty, British charms.

永遠的快樂?!?

another regret this yr:
not goin to Tsai Chin's concert last Saturday.


sighhhh.

next up:
- JBJ on 20th Sept
- Cheer Chen on 29th Sept.



一眼瞬間 - 蕭敬騰 & 張惠妹

two of my ear-worms now. cant get enough.

張惠妹- 如果你也聽說


張惠妹A-Mei 永遠的快樂

Perspective

I dread what tomorrow brings.
Today, I find the average man a lucky man. the barrista who takes her own time to brew coffee and blend my drink. the uncle who slept at the library couch. the little kid reading on the floor. the student who has a friend to gossip with. the guy who sat down with the same magazine the whole day.

Strangely, I miss my old work place and its mundanity.

QJ told me:
"the difference between a child and adult is
when a child goes on stage
he fumbles and shows his fear on stage.
when an adult goes on stage
he anticipates the butterflies
and appear as if there isn't
though it is always present"

i fear.
it's a hurdle.
Keay ask me: "What's happiness to u?"
it stumbled me a lil, but i told him it's having someone who loves you, not like in a relationship, but more on a human-to-human level. it's also being able to smile freely, and not havin to worry bout alot of things that's goin on.
sometimes i wonder if i brought these all upon myself, overestimating my limits and bringing myself to a difficult spot.


Seng and i made a pact to see who'd acheived more at the end of the yr. coffee on the loser. i was excited about it yesterday. today, i wished i was nv bound to tt pact.

I went to JB today. It's been close to 2 yrs since i last visited, and it was the mini-escapade i desperately needed. i am always paranoid whenever i go overseas. its the sense of insecurity at being in an unknown country. sights and sounds are not what u're used to. when i reached woodlands checkpoint, i let out a breath of relief, and took in the Singapore air.

i ate and shopped like a king...
lunch at Kenny Rogers (thou Spore's still better bcos they served their macaroni & cheese hot and less diluted) - SGD10+
Ratatouille - SGD4!!!!!!!!!
SECRET RECIPE tea break - SGD 7 for cake and drink (thou the vanilla milkshake quite diluted)
dinner @ Marry Brown - SGD 4!!!!!

and of cos i ordered lotsa dvds hahahahhahahaa.


yaaaaa. tml will be study day. and Fri its back to work. i dread work. not because it's a tedious routine, but because i am not fully equipped with the knowledge. i dread every call that i pick up because i had to ask my senior. sighhhhh. tml i plan to tie up the loose ends at work, studies,life and prom. hopefully.


wat a blast. while it last.

clouds in my coffee

"clouds in my coffee....clouds in my coffee"

i feel like slappin a friend for being a liar all these while. selfish farktard. now i know your true colours.

pui!
