Went out for dinner today with a friend then went to a pet shop.
All the way, there were couples.
At the hawker centre, at the pet shop, by the side of the road.
Holding hands, talking, all lovey dovey.
A scenario with a couple from China hit me hard
They were in front of the cages with the super cute doggies and were holding hands and talking in their china chinese accents.
I was thinking, "Are they working or studying? How do they get by on their accents? Do they speak any other languages?"
Then I realized, they don't care.
They're in their own little word - free to be who they are with the one they love.
I want that too.

Fairytales
Everyone wants to have their own fairytale.
We all imagine ourselves as brave and fearless, loyal and steadfast, trustworthy and perfectly flawed at some point in our lives.
When we were young, we watched how Cinderella was mistreated by her step family and when we were bullied by our siblings or disciplined by our parents, we imagine that we are Cinderella, and fantasize that any day now, Price Charming would come to our rescue and we would live happy ever after.
And boys, they imagine themselves to be superheroes - Power Rangers, Ultra-man, Batman, Superman. They want to be strong and brave.
Some say that fairytales are the root cause of the modern youth being so out of touch with reality. We think we are living in a fairytale and that Prince Charming or Princess Perfect will just jump out of nowhere and we'll have a happy ending.
Things don't work that way.
However, fairytales serve as positive encouragement as well. Shrek and Fiona are a good example of a strong male and a strong female together. They fight and argue and disagree and leave and get back together again. But they're strong together and no matter what happens, they always stay together in the end.
There, you get your Prince Charming and Princess Perfect.
But the thing that makes this imperfect fairytale perfect, is in fact, it's portrayal of imperfection.
Neither Shrek not Fiona are perfect characters.
Shrek is loud and obnoxious and selfish to a degree, but actually has a good heart and values friendship and love. He acts just like a big baby, but when the sky falls down, you can count on him.
Fiona is spoilt and bossy and also selfish to a degree, but just like Shrek, she has a good heart and tries hard to be better, like she does with the annoying donkey. She acts like a brat at times, but when it comes down to it, she is always going to stick by her man. And she can lead a troupe of fighting fairytale princesses to her hubby's rescue. *bonus point*
So, what I mean to say is, identification with fairytale characters is acceptable and should be encouraged to some degree. Just make sure you identify with the right ones.
*I personally prefer to be Selene or Alice (the zombie-arse-kicking Alice mind you). But then, I don't mind being Fiona. She is kinda kick-ass after all. :p *

看着很好笑的娱乐片
想让自己大声的笑
可是心中每一刻都想着我们这一刻的不合
就怎么也专心不了
怎么也笑不出来
那难得的笑声
听起来多么的勉强
为什么爱一个人那么的难？
你的一个无心的词语
比被一把刀捅在心里更加的痛
我真的很爱你
真的真的很爱
为什么爱一个人
这么的难
想让自己大声的笑
可是心中每一刻都想着我们这一刻的不合
就怎么也专心不了
怎么也笑不出来

你的一个无心的词语

我真的很爱你
真的真的很爱
为什么爱一个人
这么的难

爱情其实并不简单。
也许有时候还会有点难。
一段感情中，总需要有一方比较礼让。
但是，就算再能礼让的人，遇到了太大的波折，也会放弃
就算不放弃，心中那条刺也难以拔舍。
这时候，被礼让的那一方就要反过来变礼让的一方了。
道别从前习惯了的迁就与甜蜜，
要长大，要乖了。
可是那回忆就像是不愿意放手的刺猬
那曾经的甜蜜与美好回忆虽然已经被摧毁
可是那感觉还是挥散不去的
那想念，也不会松弛的。
偶尔那沉重会把人压迫得无法呼吸
那泪水徘徊在眼角，却很争气的滴不下来。
可是也许，那是比痛更痛的预告
许多事情都很模糊
努力让自己长大的小孩了解，
生活没有可能无时无刻都甜蜜的
可是这道理，她的心是无法了解的
她只想要每天一个拥抱
一个吻
一份小小的甜蜜
一个时光机器
真的好想念好想念
明天会好起来的了
就让我颓废6小时吧…

It always seems that I'm most productive at night.
I always seem to write at night.
What do I write you ask? Well now...that's for me to write, and for you to ponder. :p
Have been meaning to send out inquiries for scholarships to UK Law Universities for some time now, but just got round to it today.
Sent out like....9 inquiries.
Hopefully they get back to me.
Only 5 more months to next year...Wonder if I can actually get everything or anything settled by then...
*Sudden thought*
It's time to get out.
I was never meant to be bound to this mundane life.
I'm meant to be loose and free and fly.
Not chained by my own expectations and restrictions.
I have found my wings, or the beginnings of them.
Now all that's left is to use them.
Hope my dreams come true
And my dreams include you
Always

The Bridegroom Documentary
Wonder what would happen if it really occurred?
Especially if you are not accepted by the other person's family and/or are separated by a great distance?
You would be the last, if at all, to know about anything.
This is about straight relationships. What about the same-sex relationships? Or so called gay relationships?
They stand to lose everything
Stand up for love, stand up for gay rights.
I don't know if anyone actually reads my blog, but if you do, this is for a good cause.
Go to this link: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/452010736/bridegroom-an-american-love-story
Check it out and pledge.
If you can't pledge, spread the news. Time is running out.
For yourself, for your best friend, for your sister, for your brother, for your neighbor, for your children, for that nice stranger down the street.
For love.
For equality.

Today
This morning started out eventful enough.
My bathroom is in the same area as the kitchen and there is one door leading to it.
Usually, the last one to leave the house locks it. That's usually me.
We also tend to check the bathroom to see if anyone is inside before we lock it.
Today my housemate seems to be in too much of a hurry, so she locked me in and left immediately for Uni. By the time I realized what had happened, it was already too late and I was stuck there in my towel in an empty house.
Luckily my arms are not as short as I thought they were and I managed to reach the key on the other side with my fingertips and unlock myself.
Although I almost got a dozen cuts on my arm in the process. Almost.
Then I went to work.
The day went fine enough. I had plenty of work to keep me occupied and was too tired and uncomfortable to take much stock of what the lamb was or was not doing.
However, come 12.30pm, things got interesting again.
As I went down to the car park to re-park my car (which I have to do every 4 hours), I realized that my car wouldn't start.
I was like "God damn it"
After calling my dad, he said that the battery must have died.
But my senior said that it might be my starter or any multitude of problems.
I was in favor of the starter being faulty as a battery would cost me RM210++ and although my dad said he would reimburse me, I was still skeptical of when and if I would actually live to see the money. As in would I starve first. Lol...
So, my senior called his mechanic friend for me and set an appointment for after lunch.
While taking in this less than desiring situation, the whole time I was thinking about being able to play Diablo 3 with my grizzly bear after work.
The plan was a quick dinner, bath, and then play together.
I would be his Demon Hunter and he would be the front liner.
However, fate decreed that it was not to be~
The mechanic was late and I had to stay at work until 7.30pm before he finally got here, tinkered with my car, and conclusion was that he wasn't sure what was wrong with it and I'd have to let him take the car tomorrow with the hopes that he could fix in one day.
Afterward, there was trouble with grizzly's game and so we couldn't play together...
So, that's my day.
Hoping everyone else had a better day. Cheers!

Bears
Sometimes I just feel like writing.
Like the tip-tip-tapping sound of my own fingers on the keyboard.
I find it oddly soothing. Even if it's not from me, I still find the sound comforting.
Feeling more soppy than usual today. Or recently. Depending on who you ask. :p
Have been thinking of the simple joys of life.
Like having a cup of coffee with enjoyable company
Watching a movie with people you like
Having BBQ with a bestie
Playing an online game with a grizzly bear
Simple joys,
but sometimes, not that easy to get.
But sometimes the simple joys, just come to you.
and will come to you, if you wait.
I miss my bear...
Much more than usual after watching Brave.
cuz there're so many bears in it. :p
