Stranger than Fiction














My favourite part of the movie, when he brought her flours (flowers), any girl would warm up to that.

The various themes of this movie, fate vs free will, cassandra complex, intertwined lives, parallel plots,does personality determines your fate or vice versa so forth I absolutly loved this movie because I have always been the biggest fan of fate, Que sera sera, I think it is what get me thru bad moments in time. I am sure if I have lost any particular fraction of second of my life, I or my life would be entirely different but yours would be entirely different too because we are all interelated.

"We must remember that all these things, the nusances, the anomalies, the subtilties which we assume only accesorize our days, are in fact here for a much larger and nobler cause. They are here to save our lifes"
-Narrator

But I do however think that our personality affects the person we are, the inner motifs which constitute our choices in life. Being such a big beliver in fate, I always had the happy go lucky memento when shit happens, I would definitely say that I had my fair share of hard times and it did in fact changed my personality. But wait a minute, my personality is actually predisposed as I am also a true believer in zodiac signs. Pisces in Sun, Virgo in Moon. The best that they come with. A truly empathatic peaceful individual who is also a rational determined perfectionist. Which equals, the Type B personality enterprenuer, the determined artist, the little girl who speaks like an adult, the adult who likes to whine to get attention and cuddles, definitely the passivist who is passively agressive, most of all, just an irony that works out pretty well. I am now at the age that would want to be very well developed in my career (which means i will have the brains to screw those in my way, but do not have the stomach for it, emmmmm...unless you make me / my goodness, the negative -postive-negative paradox) With my life, I think it would be nice to be wealthy, but I know that would not be my sole motivator, I would very much want to help, educate and somewhat change and impact the world. As now living in China, I do realize how drasticly different peoples lives can be when they are uncivilized and uneducated.

I never ever regret and do not plan to also, I have always chosen how I live life, after this movie I know how I want to live it or what diretion to live it. I know for me to pursuit happiness is to do what you love, in order to love what you do.




Dr. Jules Hilbert:
"
Hell Harold, you could just eat nothing but pancakes if you wanted. "

Harold Crick:
"What is wrong with you? Hey, I don't want to eat nothing but pancakes, I want to live! I mean, who in their right mind in a choice between pancakes and living chooses pancakes? "

Dr. Jules Hilbert:
"Harold, if you pause to think, you'd realize that that answer is inextricably contingent upon the type of life being led... and, of course, the quality of the pancakes."


A change of life is all I need....

March Madness II - UA857

So march madness continues...I did had an uneasy quesssie kinda feeling today..I almost didn't make it to my connecting flight in San Fran as my flight in LAX was delayed for 30 mins. So I could not do the check out check in again. But they gave me an inter connecting flight. But I got thru even got time to go to Duty free then I went to the gate then they said i was a 'dead seat' coz technically i didn't check in. Anyway, i finally got on the flight and all was sailing until..........i heard an announcement saying that we have to head back to San fran..as a chunk of our wing was left on the driveway...phew..we had to head back to check on it..by the time we arrived it was 5pm ..so pretty much we had to wait for the next morning. So I checked into this motel...requested for a room with a nicer view...then called Ric and Connie..and met them for dinner.. If there was something good out of this incicent..it must be them.

Then I took the duty free red that i bought to the dinner, we went to elephant man , it was nice. Talked for the whole dinner, it was so nice..its likely that they will come to our cottage trip.. YEY! Anyhoo.. I still had one more white wine at my motel.. so i had to drink it ..since I already broke the duty free seal..excuses excuses.. what better time to get wasted on a day of expected delay..(i even wanted to smoke...lols..I did not of course)

Anyway..the wine is soaked in the ice bucket..i'm showered set the alarm.. with some greasy food..since i had a gift coupon..lols..i ordered stuff eventho i was completely full.

Anyhoo..the pic above was when our flight had to dump the fuel to get light enuff to have a safe landing.
It was near San Diego I belive, west coast anyhow...

I caught a glimpse of March madness which I was very happy about....LOLS...
March Madness ...thats what it is... that is what it is...

The Last Kiss





















Its a horror movie for all women. I would not have bought this DVD if I had known the story, thought it was a chic flick but how wrong was I.


The tagline was : We all make choices, what's yours?


The most memorable part was when the father in-law was giving Zack Braff after he was chasing his wife back after cheating on her cause he had cold feet. I remember Zack said: I know NOW, I cannot live without her and I love her. Then the father in law said : What you feel only matters to you. It's what you do to the people you love. That's what matters. That's the only thing that counts.


How true....

The movie had a happy ending sort of speak, but what is a happy ending in life, is it that you were happy at the end of your life, or is it an accumlation? Like you were sad at the end, but most of your life was good so it's a good ending. Oh god, I dunno... happy endings are just relevant to time, since most of us dunno when is the end, therefore its the journey that counts? Being so zen lately..hrmmm ..can't help it. LOLs

But honestly when at the end, the wife lets Zack back into the house, i was thinking you don't know what you're getting into, I can just see the problems ahead..LOLs ...pessimistic me.. one of my friends reminded me that how much I wanted a family...hmm....the far distant dream

CNY in Hong Kong - Blackholes and Revelations

















How do I start to recap this trip? Thoughts and images are overflowing in my mind but words escape me. For starters, it was INTENSE. I was happy, depressed, angry, sympathethic, felt despair and had hope, was lost then found. It was a journey indeed, in which it taught me a valuable lesson in relationships, family , friends etc. I have walked thru the valley of the shadows of death, and seen the repricussions of unconditional love and the consequences of when that love is not reciprocated.Its a never-ending vicious cyle, having a false pretense and not getting a return will only get you the worse emotion that anyone can get... Not depression but rather the deadliest of them all.. Disapointment.

It was an invaluable lesson indeed, I have relearned to love and not love (cut your losses while still short sort of speak), i have learned to treasure and cherish those you love and also are in need of it, AND NEVER EVER TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED and also being rational and calm will almost always help to judge the situation. Eventhough its always easier to go with your heart, but acting on your mind will almost always be a better way out. Yes, my sun sign is Pisces, but my moon sign is Virgo, direct opposites, trying to skew myself towards the moon from now on.


Muse concert on March 3rd my birthday, best concert that I have ever seen, and considering that I always thought that Matt Bellamy is the hottest lead any band can have, but the energy that they project off the stage is stellar. I'm glad it was not a huge crowd, which means that almost every person that was there was a fan. Come on people, normally quiet kongers jumping up and down and screaming and singing the lyrics??? They must be true fans. I would say "Time is running out" was the climax of the nite. But "Starlight" hit a special spot for me.

My clip of the concert had terrible sound recording, so pls enjoy this instead. Dedicated to my family, relatives and friends who I will ever love so dearly.

So faye, DB
- Cannot imagine the consequences of not having you as friend, i know i have said this a gazillion times but forever in your debt
Jacky

- Thanks for just being there that night and just taking really good care of me, sorry that I ruined your black suit and I owe you dinner
Alam

- Thanks for being a great friend and helping me getting a shot for the client
CP
- Thanks for taking me to this GREAT concert, best and only birthday present (cakes and red pocket cash doesn't really count i believe). Or perhaps I owe you $400? Lols....







Starlight - Muse

Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Starlight I will be chasing your starlight
Until the end of my life
I dont know if it's worth it anymore

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to
Hold you in my arms

My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the cells that would die just to feel alive


I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away...

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
