déjà vu - the favorite vignette
"There are times when life calls out for a change. A transition. Like the seasons. Our spring was wonderful, but summer is over now and we missed out on autumn. And now all of a sudden, it's cold, so cold that everything is freezing over. Our love fell asleep, and the snow took it by surprise. But if you fall asleep in the snow, you don't feel death coming. Take care. "
-Life Some Time Ago Faubourg Saint-Denis, Paris Je'Taime
Funny. I seemed to have written something like this before.

i want my own The Margot!
recently i watched the royal tenenbaums and i fell in love with the whole show's offbeat quirks. not to mention.. a certain attitude accessory which i called it The Margot (hairclip) which im trying to look for. if u can see from the picture, its a rather longish bold red clip with some 'clean' design on it.
if i have blonde hair u can be sure i will channel some of those margot's angsty.. but for now i jus want my own attitude accessory. i tink one fine day im gonna go outta my house with some thick eyelinered eyes vis a vis margot.
p.s/been caught in a pastel explosion of coloured hairbands lately. i just love hunting those rare 'off-' colours.

The Lady and The Puppy
The lady decided to get a puppy
which was thought to be a man's best pal
Creature of loyalty and what have nots
Curly fur, angelic gaze that melts
Alas, so caught in the lovely gaze
the lady has not noticed its nasty bite
The puppy whom she once very much loved
bit her loving hand that fed
She thought, "maybe it was a playful breed,
which couldnt care less except for charming tricks"
Nonetheless, it was time to go
for the puppy grew too huge for her bed

Happily Never After
Once upon a time
an ugly duckling found itself
grow up unwittingly the apple of emerald eyes;
Delusion, not envy, was the greater of two evils, it seemed
Miss White wasn't so lucky
to encounter some samaritians of seven lovelies
Turned out deadly wasnt the poisoned apple,
for (mis)trust was her actual archilles heel
Someone should really tell the witches too
Poison once spilled, percolates
infects, and evaporates.
Seriously, just that devious spell will do.
All these stories are very very real
and not just merely bedtime tales
This is very sad but true
happily nver after, they ended too soon

A Hidden Gem
Deep buried
robust and firm
not inching
Look, no touching
only a gem when finally told
"Wasn't it just another grain of sand?"
Uncovered one day
Rolled and tumbled with little care
Oh no! Broken? Considered sold.
Yet the tiny precious still safe
Waiting patiently for some cooling rain
Reveal and away with that coat of sand!

mid afternoon movie
just watched The Reader.. and it touched me more than i expected to...
read some reviews about it and there was this bit abt how "during their final meeting he is reticent and unsure of their relationship or of whether he wishes to be there and how much he wishes to give, but she helps him by saying “it is over isn’t it”, she feeds off his detachment and comes to realise that she can no longer have the sensual relationship they enjoyed, the relationship she understood."
i think im abit of michael and maybe more of hannah.
initially i thought the history and court trials will be more droning than captivating, but it is a really good movie, sad and touching esp towards the end.

you know, im the kind of person who just write on my blog to let it out, or when i feel kinda poetic, inspired by something. i log in, create post, view post and leave. I never ever took an extra glance at other functions of the site.. so to my (pleasant)surprise, as i was thinking of editing my 'i like stringing words' post, i realised somebody has been reading my blog..and left comments on my recent two posts.. i wonder if its my dear friends who did cuz of my busy-ness and lazyness my flooblebox decided to elope and abandon me,so posting comments is the only other way to leave a message..
but
the anonymity is abit intriguing.
who are you?

random ramblings
how did warhol die?
I prefer to swim in the morning, not night.
when did trust disappear?
Noodles in soup sometimes suck.
Why did sleeping beauty fall asleep?
It is a well-practised art to speak words of nothingness.
Where is 'Wally'?
I am gonna play 'The Only Love Song' on my wedding day.
How do you add life to life?
I still cant find the warm gray shoes I like.
Why is something more treasured only when it is hard to get?
I bought two almost but still not correct pairs.

the man i love deepdeep mostest (:
my daddy has a knack for corny yet laughable jokes.
people who have seen him would agree he has a typical teacherish stern appearance, almost incapable of doing anything silly or maybe as some of my id mates think, he looks like a certain tony leung kar wai haha
yes, true. he is indeed stern usually.. but when he's crazy... u wun believe it!
so if anyone is gonna ask me whether i love him or my dad more.. sorry loverboy, my old man rules! im a daddy's girl ;D
Example of a bad but still funny joke
I forgot why we were having this conversation but anyways...
Me: "Daddy, mummy 要看《小娘惹》的ending lor.."
Daddy:"我知道ending 是什么..."
Me: "什么?"
Daddy: Little Nonya 变成 Nonya Zang lor!
omgg!!! wahahaha!

i like stringing words
The time with no hour hands
Living in the void of time
Make memories not pictures
Not, really empty keeps
Sweet music and messy treats
Feet that missed a beat
Adore the pretty weeds
Yet, forget the sweet quick
Spring is over,
Warmth long gone,
from the shadows ofsycamoretall temperate trees
Living in the void of time
Make memories not pictures
Not, really empty keeps
Sweet music and messy treats
Feet that missed a beat
Adore the pretty weeds
Yet, forget the sweet quick
Spring is over,
Warmth long gone,

My Horoscope says...
Libra
Today, I'm going to become more decisive - no more talking every plan into the ground before I take action. I'll step up to the plate and make my own decision, and then possibly we can debate whether I made the right choice. Everyone in my orbit no longer needs to know my every dream and scheme. Speaking of schemes, I'm going to avoid pot-stirring although I can't think of a better way to generate discussion. Even with my strong need for togetherness, I'm going to spend some concentrated alone time improving my many talents. What I'm not going to give up is the need for a life partner and being outrageously flirtatious and fiercely competitive.

这个暑假有点久。。。
啊。。。从前的从前有人说过我走路蹒跚；
不久前的不久前有人说过我说话像老太太。
哈哈。
他苦拼elephant，我仍咿咿呜呜。
他勤奋学脚车，我还在熟悉爬姿。
她研究唇膏，我却以为是"长大后"的烦恼。
另一个她妩媚尔娜多姿，咦。。。哪不是美女的特权吗？
他她她忙得没睡，我夜夜呼呼大觉。
真是慢三拍。
啊。。。
哈哈。
我只能苦笑。

you served me well
The signs were there.
But i choose to believe.
Then...
the dreadful blue came,
it slipped away.
And never again it awake.

your hair was long when we first met...
you are my sweetest downfall.
Tonight I'm gonna rest my chemistry.

6 year olds take on Formula One cars
The art teacher was teaching the kids to draw racing cars this week, to coincide with the upcoming F1 held in sg..but before drawing, she talked abt the differences btw 'Your Daddy's Car' and 'Racing Car' and many more with the kids, which led to this very hilarious out-of-point dialogue.
An actual conversation(rather accurate from my memory).
Teacher: "How come the racing car is faster than the truck, why isit built so low?"
A very boy boy, Jerald:" because there's no roof."
Ryan, usually quite good with general knowledge, offered this. "Because its like a dolphin, can swim very fast."
Sweet Megan tries. " because, because it is different from my daddy's car.."
Aiden, irrelevantly but nonetheless adorably: "I know i know! the person has to put his leg inside but the person in big car no need..."
Rachel's brave attempt came. " Because the car is very fast, that's why its so low.."
Lendal, as if just to make up the numbers, said:" because it is a racing car!"
The shy unassuming Natalie knew better. She didnt know the answer and just remained silent.
HAAHA.
