너라고

[강인] 아무 말도 필요없어 난 그냥 너라고 
너무 늦었다고 해도 난 그냥 너라고
[성민] 잘못된 사랑인 걸 알고 있지만 
포기 할 수 없어 절대 놓칠 수는 없어 

I want to be where you are.

Deal makers and breakers

Was talking to EW about it over lunch yesterday, apparently somewhere out there exists this catch of a guy who is looking for a female left handed surgeon. He's 30, tall - towers 6 feet and a Harvard graduate.

Mine sounded so much simpler in comparison,

1. He must be able to groove. I.e. not be embarrassed or look embarrassing when he dances. It's a visual and confidence thing.
2. Must have an opinion (VVVIP), we might not be able see eye to eye but he must have a mind of his own.
3. Must like my cooking, which EW said is probably easy

EW (28f) said that hers ideally must be able to speak Chinese, mustn't smoke and must be smart.

No distracting pretty boys, just music and dance and see the story unfold before your eyes.

I loved how they made hip hop into a partner dance with incorporated jazz elements AND lifts. Just wow.

En route to being ein Weltburger

Inspired by the lovely AZ. The official languages for the organisation that I work for is English and French. A bunch of pretty, young interns have scheduled language classes over lunch for free which is pretty neat if you ask me. Lessons run for only 45 minutes, out of which 10 minutes is given for a little free play, kinda like pre school where you can ask the "teachers" questions.

For the very first lesson, AZ enthusiastically asked them how to say, "take me to your leader!"
I was completely tickled by this. I'm sure it would prove somewhat useful should she need to conquer little islands in France. I guess anyone else who knows AZ as much as I do, will also know that her quirky and random-ness is nothing out of the ordinary.

Naturally, this got me thinking of the essential things that I should want to pick up when learning a foreign language. This list of course will be a work in progress. Here goes;

1. How much?
2. Is this the best price?

1 & 2 to cater to shopping. Especially when the family expects me to buy a ton of presents/souveniers back all the time.

3. Male prostitute/Male whore.

Combining 1 - 3 gives me a power combo to call on a male whore. I just thought it was cool.

4. Toilet

For relief of a different kind from the combination of 1-3. I'm quite surprised this came after 3 but what the hell.

5. MacDonalds.

So I won't starve, it is after all supposed to be in almost every other country.

Doodling in pixels

Following a tweeter who tweets in 6 words, no more, no less. Got me inspired to write some stuff out myself.

And he left me out cold.

Fortunately, heartache does not last forever.

We feel. We hurt. We bleed.

I loved a long time ago.

I lose patience, even with myself.

(20.10.09 edit inspired by P) I can't help but love you

While I was scribbling on my notebook (I like to kick it ole skool sometimes) I realised that "Money makes the world go round" also qualifies as 6 words. I feel incredibly cynical today. This week and for ever more. Please let the emo shite pass. I'm too old for this.

Let me take you on a journey.

I trace with my fingers the routes of maps in my head. The many things things that I would do without you.

I'd cross a few borders - Feel the breeze on my face with the wind in my hair, make long exploratory walks, see the piazzas of Italy, run through trails of fallen leaves in 4 colours, cross-country train ride - Malaysia to China, India, Europe, South Americas, have conversations with strangers, salsa in the town square and see the stars amongst a vast field that spans as far as my eyes can see and free from highrise buildings, believe in God and His will.
"If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up
and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong

I know better
Cause
you said forever
And ever, who knew?"
Who Knew ~ Pink                                      

Most importantly have someone physically there and not just saying things. And then I remember why we were built differently.

If I had it my way, I would have left so long ago. Singapore is far too small. Every corner I turn in Raffles place is a painful memory and everyday here just reminds me that I don't belong. I found myself in a bizzare soliloquy,

"If I leave in 2011, Boy would be 18. Plus Grandma's not in very good health. By the time I finish studying in 2013, Boy would be 20. I wonder if he'll live that long."

Indeed, the worst of my fears is that I'm afraid that my cat's going to die on me while I'm gone.

Kermit, I'm only slightly aggrieved.

Seung Gi is like the Korean Jay Chou. Younger and better looking.

Medium showdown:


Some famous mediums that would not have made the cut made popular by the silverscreens:

1. Whoopi Goldberg's character Oda Mae Brown in Ghost
2. Jennifer Love Hewitt's character Melinda Gordon in Ghost Whisperer
3. Haley "I-see-dead-people" Joel Osment as Cole Sear in Sixth Sense.
4. Worst exorcist rip off; Drake Hogestyn as John Black in Days of our Lives
5. The hot Winchester brothers from Supernatural played by Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles

and my absolute favourite ... Buffy the vampire slayer. Imagine what would have happened to them if they had to register their interest as mediums first.
