Not noteworthy to anyone but myself really...
I wanted to look for Mr B today to double-check something which didn’t really need double-checking actually. Because I already knew the answer.
Somehow, I decided to call him instead. I guess I was afraid to err…come on too strong? I dono. I just feel silly running around doing all these things when he probably doesn’t care lah.
He picked up the phone very quickly and said,...
Rant.
I’ve been trying to tweet this via TwitLonger but apparently it sux so I’m blogging it instead.
M told me that his gf was angry at him for “not caring about the wedding prep”. She threw stuff at him. Wow. Erm sorry but the more he tells me about her, the less I like her! I think it is terrible to throw things at your partner, no matter how angry you are. Can go and...
因为你，谢谢你。
For all the guys I’ve ever liked. For every guy who thought he liked or loved me, but didn’t, not really. For every guy who didn’t see and appreciate me.
It hurt every time, yes. Sometimes too much. I still fear feeling that pain.
But - thank you. Thank you for misleading me, thank you for hurting me, thank you for the kindness you showed me, thank you for the late night...
Next time...
“I’ll tell you next time,” he said.
Oh, the promise of a ‘next time’, a continuation of a conversation, the implication that he wants to have a conversation with me.
Probably should not read too much into it though, cos’ if I read him correctly, he’s this open with everyone. I mean, he even told M, whom previously he had limited contact with, that he was...

“Hope, like dread, it often comes unannounced, and then thankfully intoxicates us...”
– Allison Dubois, Medium 3x17
I totally know how that goes…unfortunately I seem to have come down from my high, and I’m crashing…sigh.
For posterity's sake
I tweeted this earlier today and with the rate at which I tweet (or spam), I reckon I’d better record it somewhere so that one day when I’m sad, I can dig out this post and read it to remind myself that on a certain day in January, I was once so positive…

Don’t know why but I seem to feel a lot more at ease...
Somebody that I Used to Know
Saw this creative cover by Walk off the Earth posted on FB, liked it
Found the original by Gotye, liked it too! Weirdass video but creative too…I think I understand the video, in a way.
This is just an awesome song I guess…And I think that a lot of people can relate to it too.
Songs to be emo to
孙燕姿－同类
My default go-to song for being emo… :P
Laura Marling - New Romantic
The sad, jaded lyrics kinda speak for themselves…
田馥甄 - 寂寞寂寞就好
Yes, another Hebe song…what can I say, I love me some Hebe. Her songs are really easy to identify to I think.
Songs that comfort and encourage
花花世界 - Hebe
Because sometimes I think too much and take things too seriously.
My Love - Hebe
Because I’m turning 27 and have not yet really been in love.
Nothing Ever Happens - Rachel Platten
Because sometimes I’m just like this girl in the song.
Songs to fall in love with...and to fall in love...
There are songs you listen to when you’re heartbroken, songs that make you wanna dance, and then there are theses. Songs that you (or at least I) can’t stop listening to time and time again cos’ they’re so upbeat and cute.
Most of them anyway - Diane Birch’s “Magic View” doesn’t really fit in with the bright and sunny mood of the others but her...

Five Love Languages
We got to talking about this today and I came home and decided to do the assessment again. It seems that my preferences have changed slightly over time. It used to be primarily “Acts of Service” and “Physical Touch” only, I think.
So now I have 3 preferences instead of only 2? Does this mean that my needs can be fulfilled if the other party only speaks 1 of the languages...
Before I sleep, I wanna share something from the wedding I attended last Sunday. The one that made me almost cry. Almost because I don’t know the bride very long or very well, but I know enough about her life and her person to say that it hasn’t been a bed of roses and that she deserves all happiness.
So anyway, her husband said this, “She has accepted me for who I am, not who...

Watching Fringe right now. As it goes, there are rarely little moments that make me squee, and that’s not why I watch Fringe either, but there was such a moment just now:
Lady agent starts to get migraine.
Guy agent notices and asks: You ok?
Lady agent, while trying to open her bottle of pills and grimacing: Yeah, I just started to get another migraine.
Guy agent takes the bottle from...
选我选我选我！
选我选我选我！
这不就是人活着的理由吗?
当你有朋友的时候，就代表有人选上了你做朋友。当你赢了某个奖品，也代表有了选了你。即使是中彩票也是一样。当你找到工作，就代表老板选上了你。当你有人追，也是一样。
其实大家都需要有人欣赏，需要有人注意，需要感到自己是特别的。即使是最不爱说话，最害羞，最孤寂的人也是这样。
人，始终还是需要别人的。
有些人就是很自然的暂放异彩，像太阳花一样，站得高高的，豪迈地面向着太阳大笑。
也有人像玫瑰一样的妩媚，什么也不用说，浓浓的花香和美丽的容颜就足以让人冲昏了头。
不是开朗的太阳花，也不是艳丽的玫瑰花，只是普通的路边草又要怎么办？
那，就要靠耍心机了。
从前单纯的我，最讨厌这种想法了。可是进入社会以后却发现，真的要懂得耍心机，不然会很吃亏。有时还得装疯，装傻，装笨，装可怜。

田馥甄 Hebe
I kinda like her new songs a lot. There’s a strong undercurrent that paints a picture of who Hebe is (or what they want us to think she is: strong, independent, stubborn, a bit quirky and very modern. She’s not sweet, frail or upbeat. She’s not afraid of sacrifice or heartbreak, if it comes to that…but it needs to have meaning.
I like it.
This song is reminiscent of...
“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely...”
– Bob Marley
I must be turning cynical…whenever I read idealistic stuff like this, I think that it’s just impractical and only achieveable for maybe 1% of the population who are ‘untainted’ enough by the world, to be able to go on believing in their idealistic dreams and to...

“People who do not think they are worthy of connections do not have...”
– Penelope Trunk
Saw this on FB. Thought-provoking.
I get into these fleeting obsessions with male celebs every now and then…here is my latest one :P
I actually find him rather inspiring. He’s got a really interesting story which he talks about on this talkshow. The thing that struck me about him when I saw him on 《百万大歌星》 - other than his wonderful voice - was how sunny and chirpy he was.
Well, I think his voice is very warm too, so...

Odd thing...
I was just thinking that for quite some time I’ve wished that I was outgoing and bubbly.
My friends tell me that I handle myself pretty well in social situations, even when I meet strangers.
I don’t deny it. I know I have a friendliness and a down-to-earth vibe that makes people feel like they can draw near and talk to me. I know I do this rather effortlessly. I don’t even need...
