One of the female lead in "He's just not that into you"...said that although she keeps on getting rejected by men, she is still enthusiastically searching for the man for her...beliving in the man that she meets...because she feels that she would be more pathetic if she starts to doubt the men or herself...
Indeed, many times, we think that we are so clever in anticipating what others think..and not wanting to be outdone by others...that we forget to live...that we turn bitter....and that we give up hope...
Hence, I tell myself, although I've been stabbed again...that I want to keep on believing ...cause I don't want to become a bitter person....and I don't want to fall into the trap and become a vicious, 2-faced person...
Actually I don't normally go to pop concerts as I don't listen to much radio, hence don't know many songs...at most I only know one or two songs per artiste. So, it seems that a pattern has been set, that I've gone the Singaporean way...been to Stefanie Sun's concert and now JJ's concert...
Actually I know I have heard this song before, but cannot remember it exactly...anyway, listening to it yesterday, the lyrics are quite interesting..
Extracts of 豆浆油条:
我傻傻對你笑 是你憂愁解藥
你說我就像油條 很簡單卻很美好
我知道 你和我 就像是豆漿油條
要一起 吃下去 味道才會是最好
你需要我的傻笑 我需要你的擁抱
愛情就是要這樣 它才不會淡掉
我知道 有時候 也需要吵吵鬧鬧
但始終 也知道 只有你對我最好
豆漿離不開油條 讓我愛你愛到老
愛情就是要這樣 它才幸福美好
When I was told that E was in the search for a doctor, I was surprised that some still have the impression that doctors make good husbands...
Well, if she wanted a rich man, she could have chosen a banker! (at that time at least!)...Hmm seems like doctors are more recession-proof! :P
Anyway, on the cab the other day, the cab-driver was telling me that his daughter is a nurse, and she has her eyes on a doctor too....the previous boyfriends that she had were not up-to-match with her...He thinks that a doctor would be very suitable for her.
Well, I guess, different people have different criteria for finding a match...but then I guess we reap what we sow....if we chose a man based on his wealth, then we can't complain if he lets us down in other areas...don't you agree?
In life, we have to accept when things do not go as planned...in Departures, the male lead has to grit his teeth and accept a job that involves daily contact with corpses....after he loses his job as a cellist...
His friends and his wife cannot accept his job and wants him to get a "real" job. However, he sees the value in his job...in helping the people who lost their loved ones...by doing a good job of making up for the dead...letting the surviving kin know that they have performed the last rites well for their loved one....
Indeed, when his wife sees him doing his job, she accepts him again...and recognised that he has become a professional in this job...
Sometimes, we think that we have lost something that we love...however, perhaps this is an opportunity for us to try something different. We would soon find that we have not lost what we love, but instead have found something new ....
Defending the Caveman is a hilarious play about the ways men and women relate to each other. It mines the common themes in relationships that go straight through the funny bone.
Defending the Caveman will have both sexes roaring with laughter and recognition, affectionately nudging each other as they recognise themselves in the stories being told on the stage.
Caveman makes us laugh at ourselves about all the ways men and women fight, laugh and love. Couples all around the world have already fallen in love with Defending the Caveman and you will too.
This is a play which you can drag either your pals or your partner to and they will actually enjoy it!
Starring Daniel Jenkins (ST Life! Theatre Awards 2008 nominee for Best Actor) and directed by Tracie Pang (ST Life! Theatre Awards 2008 nominee for Best Director).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GM and I watched this last Friday, and so I was surprised to see that it would be performed again in the 2nd half of the year.
I enjoyed myself very much..although it was just a solo play...actor Daniel Jenkins is really good, even his mimicks are so realistic!
Well, I guess this performance reminds us again that guys are just different, and that they are not trying to be ASSHOLES!
Some extracts from the play:
Woman says to an old friend: You are my best friend...and we have known each other for so many years!
Man says to old friend: Are you still driving the same old car?
Woman greets friend: Hello! You look so pretty today!
Man greets friend: Hello, Dickhead!
Woman is a gatherer, Man is a hunter...and can only concentrate on one thing at a time....most often the TV.
Saw the ad for this event and I knew that I had to be there. My dad always say that I would make a good lawyer since I am so good at arguing...and I have always been interested in law and took a minor in business law in uni.
However, when last Saturday came, I forgot all about it and missed it. Luckily, whilst I was chatting with V and T that day, they told me that they went to the open house and that they enjoyed themselves very much at the event.
Hence, GM and I decided to go the following morning. We were told that the open house starts at 10am..hence we tried to be amongst the first to reach. Alas, when we arrived at almost 10...there was already a long queue.
Luckily, the queue moved quite fast and we were in the Supreme Court before we knew it... I was excited to be finally inside and to see the surroundings...the different court rooms etc...
GM and I joined the half-hourly guided tour, attended a mock civil proceding and completed the quiz by visiting the different rooms/levels to get the answers.
Both GM and I felt that the event was very well managed, crowd control was good...the ideas were interesting...the people who were bringing us around and explaining to us were also very charismatic and knowledgable....it was quite a refreshing experience!
Read from the papers that a motorcyclist was killed in an accident on the PIE near the Toh Guan Exit...apparently a jaywalker had dashed across the expressway...and Car A had to apply its emergency brakes to avoid this jaywalker. A motorcyclist travelling behind Car A couldn't brake in time and hit Car A.
A lorry behind then ran over this motorcyclist. The jaywalker escaped with scratches whilst the motorcyclist died.
Many times, when one is driving, one would try and avoid an object that is suddenly in one's path, without thinking that it may cause disastrous results for others. I think this is the case here too....the one responsible...the jaywalker escaped with scratches only. The jaywalker has been arrested for his rash act.
The storm started when we were in church. Whilst travelling home, we found that many trees were uprooted in the storm. When we reached our carpark, we saw that a car in our carpark was crushed by a tree that was completely uprooted. What a mess! The owner of the car must be thinking that he shouldn't have parked his car in that particular lot!
Remember the time when I parked my car in a lot in my car park and returned an hour later to find that my car had been kissed by another car. I didn't enough know who made the dent in my car...at that time,I also thought that I shouldn't have parked my car in that particular lot!
Chanced upon this old school phone...remember? U can only insert 10 cents coin...had to take a picture of it...
Perhaps it is true that little girls have been mythed into a fairy tale ending with "And they lived happily ever after"...hence are not able to accept the daily grind...
In fairy tales, there is no need to be bothered by difficult in-laws, choosing of wedding venue, wedding gown or guest-lists...no need to worry about the expediture of the wedding banquet nor photo-shoots...
Perhaps that is why in fairy tales they have to end it before the reality of life sets in....
In the morning, D was upset that he was first asked to change his method of doing things and then to turn around to find out that someone has to re-do the work he has done.
Well, guess that we all have to learn to accept criticism or to accept the suggestions made by others. However, where do you draw the line between someone wanting everyone to do things their way and wanting to help you improve?
In the evening, G was impatient to have to explain the same concept so many times...I must be very very slow to not understand the concept after listening to it so many times! No wonder he was impatient! However, sometimes the narrator forgets that the listener may not have the background information to understand the whole situation. Hence, sometimes, it is not that the listener is slow but it is just that the listener does not have the same background information as the narrator hence cannot grasp the concept as well.
Anyway, hopefully both D and G has cooled down are enjoying their Thursday.
Yesterday, at Holland Village's Coffee Club, we ordered dessert and cake. The waiter came to place the cutlery on our table. When he put down the fork for A and O, A commented that her fork was smaller than O's. At first, we thought that perhaps there were not enough dessert forks. Then when the waiter placed the forks for GM and me, we realised that he had given to both A and me the smaller forks, whilst he had given the men the bigger forks!
It dawned to us that he assumed that he had noticed that there were normal forks and smaller dessert forks and had assumed that the smaller forks were for ladies whilst the bigger forks were for the men!
Well, we said kudos to this waiter for initiative! But boo to his supervisor for not giving him sufficient training!
Wanted to watch this movie the moment I saw its trailer...had to wait at least 2 months before this movie was showing in cinemas...well, I must say that the movie was as interesting as the trailer.
However, GM was not impressed...he said that the ending was predictable...well, too bad for him then....I enjoyed myself very much! :P
He's just not that into you. Women, are you the exeception or the rule?
The movie starts with a little girl being consoled that a little boy is mean to her because he likes her! And this is the beginning of all women's trouble...women are programmed to accept that a man is a jerk because he likes her!

There is a funny video titled "Top 10 chick-flick cliches which are not in the movie"
Just for fun...try out the quiz to see if he is into you...how GM fared? "He is getting into you...He may not be 100% into you, but he is getting there. There is a good chance you two will have a long romance ahead of you".
Try the date decoder...I only got 2 out of 5!
Guess everyone should know by now that I have something for shoes...and I'm always on the lookout for shoes. Recently came across some interesting footwear.
1. Sanuk....barefoot untechnology....the feeling of wearing a pair of Sanuk is that one actually feels barefoot
2. Fitflop...flip flops with the gym built in! Slippers which supposedly tones your muscles when you walk in them.
I hope that I find some shoes that are really suitable for me! Both comfortable and pretty!
