it hasn't been the best of months, but we're still here.

27 Dresses - it's predictable, my boyfriend says. of course, which love story is not. what's good about stories like this is that, you leave the theater feeling good. get your hopes a little high on this thing called love. that every one will have their chance. that you will have your own romantic ending. tell me, who wouldn't like that. i would.

The Mist - it can get a tad too frustrating to watch the show. not that it doesn't have a good story, it's Stephen King for goodness sake. it's just that certain characters can really get to you. well, it did to me. and the ending is somehow, fucked up, like others would say. it makes you go, oh shit. well, the feeling of remorse will get to you too. kudos to the actors/actresses for pulling off such good acting. go watch it and see what i mean.

here's some long overdue pictures from the Laguna Spa office outing, much thanks to Roz.


and there i go, with the pretty robe, waiting for my massage.

Janice (Roz's lawyer) and Whooi Phing.


Jien Huei (the lawyer who looked barely 18 and a hardcore Jay Chou fan!) and Cass.

so far, things at work has been good. i'm hoping it stays this way and that i'll get a new lawyer once Preetha leaves. and i'll be causing a bigger hole in my pocket. why? i joined Fitness First. yeap, a gym club. haha. anyone care to join me?! let's go!

You and me, we like the same kind of music
That's why we, make a good you and me
We got style, baby we know how to use it
That's why we, make a good you and me

You know what I'm going to say before my mouth even makes a sound
And that's why we make a good you and me

You and me, we couldn't stand being normal
That's why we, make a good you and me
We both laugh, at the most random situations
That's the key, baby don't you agree?

You know what I'm going to say before my mouth even makes a sound
And that's why we make a good you and me
I know from the sound of your breathing exactly what you are feeling
This is why we make a good you and me
Make a good you and me
Make a good you and me
You and me

Ah ah ah
You and me, all we need is each other
That's why we, make a good you and me

You know what I'm going to say before my mouth even makes a sound
And that's why we make a good you and me
I know from the sound of your breathing exactly what you are feeling
This is why we make a good you and me
Make a good you and me
Make a good you and me
You and me

- You and Me, Plain White T's

random stuff, not in order.

Cloverfield is not the movie to watch if you don't want to end up with a bad headache and not watching the show at all. i don't care what others have to say about what's hidden behind the whole story, i don't want to watch any movie by "a bad robot productions" or the director of Cloverfield. thank you very much.

do not go near your washing machine with garbage in your hands when you are zonked out or put your facial and toothpaste side by side when you know you are not fully awake in the morning.

Ikea's not the place to find good study/computer tables nor cupboards. period.

you can have a whole lot of chicken wings, satay and baby squid for dinner. and still feel a bit hungry after that. okay i'm lying.

Leisure Park has the biggest KBox i've ever seen. they even have a room big enough to hold a function of at least 20 people. sing till you drop people. oh, please don't go there yet as not even half the mall is opened. okay, maybe half but still, you can finish walking around the mall in half an hour. minus the cold storage of course.

the unknown place has now become the best place anywhere to bump into people that you might know.

- ends -

i didn't get any sleep last night. my mind was awake and tired, and sleep was far beyond my reach. my mind's constantly replaying what happened. and it didn't help that i had a dream (even in that state that i was) which, forced me to wake up for work. it definitely wasn't a good start for my day and it sure didn't make me feel any better. further down the pithole i went. your mind has a funny way of making you feel worse than you already are by playing all these images in your head. knowing very well, it won't ease anything. dear mind, please stop it all.

to add to it, you saw something that made you cringe. maybe it's really nothing. let me just put this at the corner of my head where it marks "delete".

decision making. if i am to understand, please let me in on it. to see if i am fine with it. afterall, we did make a decision together or rather, come to an agreement. it's not fair if you decide to change it all on your own and expect me to understand. that my dear, is not expecting me to understand. that, is expecting me to accept your decision no matter how i feel. you tell me, it's all about communication. let's start to communicate for real from now.

i am tired, and so are you. no one's blaming anyone. so, let's agree on this and work on it.

please let the rain stop. i want to watch a movie. please let the rain stop. i want to go out tonight. pretty please.

many thanks in advance.

i'm praying it won't stay this way, this year.

"why are you stirring shit with me?"
i'm not stirring shit with you. i want to talk about it. i want you to know how i feel, and if that's what you call stirring shit, i'm sorry. i'm better off with my mouth shut. oh wait, you don't like it when i keep mum. so, now what?

"i'm a guy, i want to solve things"
by raising your voice at me, it definitely won't help to solve anything. it sure won't make things better even if you decide to meet me. it's not solution that you're giving. it's avoiding that you're doing. still avoiding?

"see when you expect shit, this happens"
i'm sorry it happened. not because i expected shit from you. i don't. i don't expect you to be romantic, you tell me you can be. i haven't seen it. i don't expect you to ditch your friends, you tell me it's all balanced. i don't feel it. the lesser i ask, the more i don't feel it. where is all that you promised?

"you are above my friends"
how come i don't feel that way. i don't want to make you choose between me and your friends. i'm asking for your assurance. to show me that i am important. your actions contradict your words. you don't listen to what i say. rather, you don't remember. are my words not as important as your friends' or i am that insignificant. we both know that deep down inside, they'd come before me. it hurts me to know that you'd rather spend time with your friends than with me. tell me, where do i stand?

i thought i could live with it. i thought maybe, i would get used to it. over time, it began to show. it became evident in your actions. am i asking for too much? am i unreasonable? no, i don't think so. i'm not asking you to take extreme measures. no, i just want you to make me feel important. to show me that i am above them, not just by a thin line. they are your friends of years, i understand that. i'm not asking you to choose. just make me feel the way i should.

don't, don't make me turn cold. don't, don't make me not care. i still care for us, and i love you so. please don't.
