Some updates

Okie... since i'm at it now, might as well have some updates :P

I MIA-ed for so long cos, since the last i wrote in Dec, there's been many many changes, many many things to do... wah...

but i'm not gonna try writing about it, cos it's so complicated that it will be quite boring... heh

So, in short, i'm staying with Crystal temporarily, while waiting and preparing for the renovations for my place.

It TOP-ed sometime in Dec, but only got the keys in mid-Jan. Now doing ratification, which i gather to mean pointing out the defects and getting the developer's contractors to repair them to my satisfaction. heh. had to bring Hanglu and Weisoon there to help me look out for defects, cos i couldn't even see the cracks on the wall n dents on the door... and i guess it's nice to have company.

Now i'm busy shopping for furniture! and well... decisions decisions... one wld think it's easier to make decisions when there's just one person, when u can have everything ur way. but actually, i think it's not that easy to make big decisions all on my own.

Oh oh... i found a sofa that i absolutely love! and a daybed ^^ i think i'll order them tomorrow... hmm... maybe..? was telling Hanglu that i'm suffering from purchase intertia... like... after obsessing abt it for so long, izzit really like now? really really buy them like now now.. already? hee~

will come up with a wishlist soon :o)

P.S. I Love You



It is probably the most painfully sweet movie i've ever watched...

It came so close to reality... that it was almost like taking a trip back a couple of years, as i watched her journey thru her version of my life.

The movie's pretty good. well, tiring thou... considering i started crying about 10 min into the show, intermittently throughout, till abt 10 min before the show ended... :P The people on the other side of me must be thinking i'm mad~

It's been some time since i remember feeling this sad. while trying not to be too self-absorbed or melodramatic about it, the show does touch me in many ways, because it is very real. the main n supporting characters are portrayed in realistic angles, with strengths n weaknesses, not the typical perfect hollywood leads. she doesn't wake up, fall into some hunky stranger's arms and move on :P Not a perfect beginning, nor a perfect ending, but beautiful nevertheless. and i guess, in a way, the story does help me. maybe i like it cos i can relate to it. we all like stories that we can feel for, find similarities to our own experiences, and draw inspiration from.

abit about the film from the website:

"With Gerry's words as her guide, Holly embarks on a touching, exciting and often hilarious journey of rediscovery in a story about marriage, friendship and how a love so strong can turn the finality of death into a new beginning for life."

Have to borrow from the website... cos, instead of being overcome with inspiration as i usually would n write some fancy long thesis, this time my mind's quite blank. kinda dunno wat to say.
