The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,
Sunday, February 28, 2010
Was watching this on tv today. Yesterday was housebunny but i'd rather not talk about that. (cos it's just a dumbblondeflick)
With Button, it was a thought provoking experience I should say. Do you recall watching this advertisement about a car (can't remember which company) which posed the same question : What would it be like to experience life in reverse? You start old and die young.
I gave it some thought but till now I'm still undecided.
Starting old, would mean having to weather through all the sickness and defects whilst learning the workings of the world. But the mid years would be a smooth ride as you transit from middle age to youth and feel fit as a fiddle.
Then the central problem would appear. Growing young as you grow old. Whos to take care of the dependent? The young-old? or the old-young?
Then theres the problem of estimating your lifespan. With age, you can live on forever. But if you grow young, then when you look 7, you'd know there's only 7 yrs of your life left.
And what about, like the movie, if such rare conditions were to only happen to a selected few? We'd be forced to make difficult decisions. Looking at our loved ones age as we go reverse. What's the feeling of seeing your child grow older each day as you become more child-like?
Overall, these are just some of the questions the movie posed la. I like a certain quote which goes something like" It's natural that you lose people. If not how else would you know how important they are to you?"
and oh yeah. the quote below quite cool as well.

im blogging at an unearthly hour and i dunno why. actually i think it's cos i cant find my chess set for tml so im kinda pissed. also im waiting my my touch to charge fully.
it's tuesday today or rather yesterday and i didn't get any potong. ._.
i beat my record today by not touching the com at all (compared to ytd's 5 min). then for lunch it was my first out ration food which was not bad but just that there was no potong.
went for btl lessons one and two. you know before an abortion you get horror vids of dismembered babies? having been through the 2 lessons of btl i felt the same like i hope i dun get a junction phobia or something hahahaha.
and i wonder if i ever cross your mind
for me it happens all the time.
chess set pls appear. i cant think of any songs cos im still addicted to this

Thanks for all the well wishes haha, intially wanted to post this yesterday. then decided to wait till the day was over.
this song was actually stuck in my head a few days ago, sign of my change in taste of music veering towards trashy disco ditties no thanks to camp influence.
thankfully i decided to spruce up my playlist and now im a billboard junkie. am currently addicted to lady antebellum (in no way related to gaga but i love them both the same) i think i like country too. =x HELP ME. i decided not to dump whole albums into my pod cos 8gb is way too lil to cater to this lifestyle but i can't bring myself to purge of all the other songs. so from now on unless i relirelirelireli like the singer alot, its only the hit singles and the ones i like that will be inside.
currently stuck in khatib A.I where artys take dominance for the rest of the week and basically was stoned.
Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor
For me it happens all the time
(i love these 2 lines.)

It's like seconds away when I'm typing this. Don't really have anything in particular to say. Next week's not at pasir lebar anymore, one week attached to khatib which is like imba far from my house. As I am typing this, the clock has already ticked past the 12 oclock mark. actually it's 12.01 now.
Yesterday night was filled with poker and booze with the guys from camp. was a minor winner which isn't too bad for like my 2nd time playing hahaha.
Somehow this song is playing on repeat in my head and i don't know why.
Come home, come home
'Cause I`ve been waiting for ya, for so long, for so long
it's the emo chorus i believe haha.
been watching fma (not brotherhood) recently on my touch. this was something said to kawaii winry-chan.
cos there are no presents that can beat your smile.

Watched Valentine's Day today, supposed class gathering ended up with me being the only ♂ in a group of 5.
It's a weird feeling posing in the middle of bugis with 4 other girls ._. and i get the feeling i wont do this for a long time hahahah. but its quite err gd training to shop around bugis with girls haha. lol.
and taylor swift is like such a bimbo in valentine's day. hurhurhur. yeaaa.

nevertheless it's still a good movie. better than percy jackson anyways. seriously overhyped show with dumb plot. vday muchmuch better haha its a light feel good show that leaves you satisfied.

Happy Chinese New Year and Saint Valentine's Day!
visited/visiting about 4 houses today, just going about the annual routine.
watched 500 days of summer today during the interim period where there's a big lag time between one house and the other. i haven't decided my take on it yet haha.
everything is purely coincidence.

Yesterday was plain emo. Nuff said.
im a alicia keys fan anyways.
This beautiful city feels empty.
All the people in the world and you can still feel lonely.
What's the point of having it all without the person you love.
Sometimes you just need to start again in order to fly.

cause things will change.,

can you feel it now?
like a bird with clipped wings. more independence but less freedom means im giving up mroe than what i (supposedly, if at all) gain.
went to see my doc today, the kind that dispenses medicine. randomly while walking home before going to camp, i realized that this self-serving, self graticious, (considerably) hedonistic life must go. yep feburary the month of birthdays and festivals seems to be a good time to start. with that said, it's not that most people's birthdays fall on feb but i think it's cos of the festive culture that people actually bother to celebrate more birthdays on feb before the enthusiasm wanes.
just a thought. (this post prolly didn't make sense to you unless you're me.)
this was something dalang said:
喜欢和爱的差别。喜欢可以很多人，但是爱只有一个。
aww. someting tells me im gonna miss this show.
i think i understood something.
underneath all these thick makeup and all the things i dress myself to be,
it's just me and a half-baked attempt to conceal my low self-esteem and a pathetic cry for your attention.
