In the recycle bin.

Erased.
To keep sane, i shall not ask why.






Can someone cue a re-run of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?

500 Days of Summer

In all honestly, when i first saw the trailer for 500days of Summer, i really wanted to hide it away and keep it all to myself. i didn't want anyone else to know about the movie. But after watching the movie friday. I know that such a thing is not gonna happen.

What do i think about the movie then? Well, i won't tell you! :p Since saying it's the best movie i've ever seen will result in you having unrealistic expectations for it. Whereas saying it utter and total rubbish will make you not want to watch it. Heh.
One thing i will say is this (warning: spoilers ahead, only for those who have watched the movie. Click and drag between the arrows)
--> My favourite scene is the 'expectations vs reality' shot when Tom was walking up the stairs to Summer's party? Genius shot that one. Bloody brilliant. BLOODY. sigh.
Having said that, i'm definitely getting the original dvd for this. Let's hope it'll be out by christmas!! <-- I have the urge to watch the movie again 500 times. Seriously. Wait, maybe 501 times. Hmmm, due to reasons personal, with travaine. Nobody knows. Nobody has to. It's in the movie *smacks forehead*. And yes, true to my previous blog entry, i did get addicted to 'hero' but.. it is freaking crazy emo la.. cannot function if addiction to songs like this. Therefore, shift! Addict to this song now. Hee hee.

It was in the movie too.
Movie soundtrack available upon request. ;)


Alas, i guess this is it then.

On another unrelated note. To spring, I'd gladly take you away with me. ^^

Music of the Night.

I gave my life to a memory of music
And she just turned her head
Rocky Votolato - I Remember Music

For the longest time, i have found myself relating events of life with music. From pop songs, church hymms, latin choral, movie sound tracks and the lot. Songs of delight, happiness, sadness, disappointment and hope. Many a time, especially when i feel particularly strong emotions, a song will almost magically, spontaneously appear in my head. Verses of lyrics seems to uncannily voice the thoughts of the subconscious.

Currently fighting for airspace in my brain are: rootless tree, luv (from the album 'the man who!' :p), my very best, elephant. All bloody brilliant songs i assure you. Should you need new songs for that playlist. ;)

this has got to die
i said this has got to stop
this has got to lie down
with someone else on top
Damien Rice - Elephant

I am pretty sure that in less than 24hours, the song from this video will be the one stuck in my head. Having dying to watch the movie since watching the trailer 3 weeks ago, downloaded it but felt to not watch in the cinema is nothing short of a crime. Especially given the unique circumstances surrounding this movie which no one will ever know so essentially i'm talking gibberish. Hahaha.

In the corner of the room,
In the room we used to love,
Of the love this we should say this:
There were switches never flicked.
Long away and far apart,
That's how forest fires start.
Elbow - My Very Best

I'm the hero of the story
Don't need to be saved
Regina Spektor - Hero

The Valley.

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow.

I am deep in the valley, quite very messed up. And completely lost. Broken for no apparent reason. Oddity.

I don't want to be weak. Help.

Her Morning Elegance

Sun been down for days
A pretty flower in a vase
A slipper by the fireplace
A cello lying in its case

Soon she's down the stairs
Her morning elegance she wears
The sound of water makes her dream
Awoken by a cloud of steam
She pours a daydream in a cup
A spoon of sugar sweetens up

And she fights for her life
as she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
as it pours
And she fights for her life
as she goes in a store
with a thought she has caught
by a thread
she pays for the bread
and she goes
Nobody knows

Sun been down for days
A winter melody she plays
The thunder makes her contemplate
She hears a noise behind the gate
Perhaps a letter with a dove
Perhaps a stranger she could love

Hehe.. another youtube vid.. but i can't help myself.. there's something about this song!!! It's special. It just feels so so right.
;)

Partly Cloudy

Stuck in a rut.
Denial.. is sweet.
Clinging on to air.
But...
Maybe it's time to pick up the pieces eh?
Hmmm, i don't know anything anymore.


Out of no where, I am fascinated by Severus Snape.

Nuffnang: 'The Ugly Truth Movie Tickets Giveaway'

Chapter 1: The KILLER dinner date.

Once upon a time, there lived a Martian and a Venusian. There both led happy lives, independent of one another. Then suddenly one day, their paths crossed.

And like a Venn Diagram.. suddenly there was common ground.. the flying sparks, the intense curiosity, the thoughts of 'my my, where have you been and how have i been living without you?!'
And so it is.. .. love's first blush.

Yet it seems, it was all destined to fall apart. On the first date, the Martian was late, the Venusian was terribly unforgiving. During dinner, the Martian repeatedly picked his nose in front of her while the Venusian was totally disinterested and screaming 'kill me!' in the depths of her heart, wondering why the hell did she even bother going for in the first place.

They didn't even survive to finish desert when the Martian told the Venusian, "hey, shall we split the bill?". The Venusian rolled her eyes in utmost scorn. Fed up.. she stood up, left never to return.

Chaper 2: Tell me why why 'The Ugly Truth'

There can be no doubt that Martians and Venusians are two different creatures. We think differently and more importantly.. we have the tendency to express in ways that are illogical.

They say that guys think with their dicks when around girls, whilst girls are the hopeless romantics bound to get their heart broken. And that is the supposed 'ugly truth'.
Well well, wake up to the 21th century guys, it's the girls who are ceasing control now (haha, sad to say). We seem to be on the decline! Work harder dudes!



But in many ways, we can only fight what's in front of us and play the hand that's been dealt. In reality, The Ugly Truth probably is that love sometimes is just not enough to survive in the real world, but in the movies however... to quote The Beatles "All you need is Love". *Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee*


I want tickets to the Ugly Truth~


Be a fan at the official Facebook page and catch The Ugly Truth when it opens in the cinemas on the 17th September 09!

The Scientist.

Wheeeeeeeee.
After that overly emo song yesterday it's time to share my favourite song!
Fun fact: Chris Martin (lead singer of coldplay) learned to sing this song backwards so that he would record the video and play it backwards and his lips will still sync with the song! I kid you not.. he has sung the 'terbalik' version in concerts before, and i have tried reversing the live track and it really sound normal. Cool stuff.


There's just something incredibly haunting about the simple melody and great lyrics.

Smile for me.
I know I am. :)

Silent night, broken night
All is fallen when you take your flight
I found some hate for you
Just for show
You found some love for me
Thinking I'd go
Don't keep me from crying to sleep
Sleep in heavenly peace



Silent night, moonlit night
Nothing's changed
Nothing is right
I should be stronger than weeping alone
You should be weaker than sending me home
I can't stop you fighting to sleep
Sleep in heavenly peace

Warming the Cold

It's been a cold cold weekend in many ways.

Saturday evening, i went to 女娲's seniors' housewarming at bukit batok.

The night wouldn't have been completed without a game of cards.

random pic in the lift en route to the next house.

Noisy picture, but not my fault ok? The cameraman.

It was a nice gathering and catching up. Updates on how everyone's doing and all. Very soon enough, i'll be the one out there too.

Many thanks to you people, you know who you are and you know why. SyJinn for calling me twice and letting me hear MayDay live in concert. Thanks Man Utd for not losing! Hahaha, you could've just scored one more goal and allowed me to claim my bet you know... =p




Meanwhile, until next time, things i have to ponder : FYP, LL.B, CFA.

It's a shame. :')
