anticipation

The anticipation is making me restless. I find myself thinking about it all the time. This recurring thought creates as a positive feedback loop, enabling me to lift my spirits without having to do anything. I imagined myself riding the sleek body. The rhythmic rising and falling. The sweating and the panting. The cocktail of adrenaline and endorphin in the blood. The soft caress of the hair. The exertion.

My ride is coming.

book out this weekend

A friend asked me over lunch today,"What did you do over the weekends?" I did not really have to search very hard for the answer. I did not really do anything productive over the weekends. I skipped past the fact that on Saturday, my friend and I wasted a whole afternoon looking for a pool house that no longer exist. All because I was adamant that there is a sleazy one in Lucky Plaza and it is still there. Apparently I was wrong. Or did I got confuse between Lucky Plaza and Fast East Shopping Center.However, one of the better thing that happened this weekend was.. I found time and a nice place to read. Valley Point shopping center. Has anyone heard about it? Exactly. You have not. Which is why the star bucks there has a hell lot of empty seats and no crowd at all. It was so peaceful there that 4hrs past in a blink of an eye. What book was I reading? The world is flat.

What more can i ask for. I all need is a good spot to read.

the witness

The Singapore French Film Festival was like a trip down Victor Hugo memory lane. I went to catch The Witness a movie that touches upon the taboo themes of gay and Aids. The movie managed to address both themes tastefully without showing any discrimination against gays. Set in 1984, Aids was still a relatively unknown disease then. The show documented the advent of the disease and how it claimed its first victims. Within a year, it claimed thousands of lives in a slow painful way. Once that happened, the salvos of war was sounded and medical world reacted. The roles of the movie include the Aids victim, his gay lover, the family members of the victim and a doctor; thus addressing the multi facet issue completely. The movie focused on their lives of people and how they reacted to the disease. In a gay centered movie, the women in the movie (the brave sister of the victim and the peculiar writer who wants to tell the victim's story to the whole world) turned out to become the unlikely heroines. Finally, the movie is so typically french. Francophiles should go catch it. For those who are not familiar with french style of movie directing, I can tell you that it is an acquired taste for me. Rated R21 for explicit contents. Do not catch it if you cant already stand brokeback mountain.

miss-appropriate and the leopard prince

Recently, we have either read or heard about miss-appropriate and her leopard prince and Ken Lim and his Varsatham star. I can't help but say, they have certainly added a lot of colors into my life. In the news everyday, we read about natural disasters claiming thousands of lives in our neighboring countries. But amidst such depressing news, I really appreciated the Ms Singapore pageant scandal. I can't speak for everyone, but I sure get a respite from reading about Ris-ky misdeeds and how some Singaporean are screaming to have her stripped of her crown. Also, Ken's comment and how he try to get back onto his feet after his Freudian slip. Just stopping short of calling Ris the PaRis Hilton of Singapore, I am actually not so much tickled by either Barbie or Ken. Rather, I am more amused by the Singaporeans who criticized them.

These are probably the same Singaporeans who will actively post photos and articles to Stomp and readily denounce anything which they deemed ungracious. I mean how gracious can some Stompers be if all they do is to secretly take photos of kissing couples and students not giving up their seats, then shame them on Stomp. Some of the comments I read on Stomp made me wonder if these individual stompers knows how petty they actually sound. All they do really is to stand on the pedestal of morality and nit pick on the small stuffs? Their wrapped sense of self righteousness is equally insidious. Why so serious? After we have our laugh about these matters, let it go and cut these people some slack. Don't measure others using your own yardstick.

everyone go relak one korner and watch EPL on mio.

give.sg

Give.sg a social enterprise set up by a group of like minded individuals who came together to do their part for the less fortunate. Their cause was noble, but I never really felt much for it.. until recently. A myriad of disasters that struck our asian neighbors was relentless. Flood in the Philippines was followed by Typhoon Ketsana; the wrath of Typhoon Ketsana could be felt by cambodia and vietnam too, Taiwan's Typhoon Morakot, floods in China and earthquakes in Indonesia. I have become more sensitive to news like these. The long ingrained common singaporean apathy disease had put up a strong resistance, discouraging me from taking a more proactive role. But today, I am going to go and make a what I consider a sizeable donation to help the victims of natural diasters.

my first step towards gobal awareness and social responsibility.
