Books and Birthdays
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOOKSACTUALLY!!!!"
Yesterday was book's birthday. What a great timing too. I just got the DVD of my short done up. Had a fun time doing up the DVD but ended up waiting for the others to finish theirs first.
Thank God we rushed down in cab or I would have TOTALLY missed Ami and Khai. Saw them leaving just as my cab arrived. Managed a hug from Ami before they head for a chill before going back to work. Went up to met our beloved bookkeepers who are all dressed up (in uniforms. Cool!). Wine and cakes for everyone. I'm sorry I couldn't buy any books due to the big hole in my pocket. I saw what might be the last copy of "Everything is Illuminated" penguin version being sold. Well, thanks for weidong for buying the books too.
Somehow, there are some auntie/taitai's there which don't seem to fit in. They were asking about the postcards. I would have been irritated if I was serving them. Did I mention the 3 girls in flashy outfit who were talking loudly about "aye valvet later la" Wow. Books is so cool its opening up its market.
End up at Maxwell for dinner since I haven ate much the whole day. Ami and Khai went back to work already by the time I'm done.
Though only saw Ami and Khai for a glance and brief talk with Karen and Kenny, it made my days so much brighter.
Had a nice chat with fav junior Des while waiting in Film Lab. So nice to hear from them again.
Now I just need to meet up with my OCT bros soon.
Thank you to the most important people in different stages of my life. Always there for me in their own ways.

Only Ami
We have been so busy that we haven seen each other in ages. We only meet in weird circumstances.
Ami finally met me in the rushes of one of her jobs.

What a mess.
My room is in a super big mess. Things which are old lying around, things which are spoilt left at a corner, things which are meant to be done sitting on the floor. I need to clean things up.

绝对Superstar 会不会是他？
Just got back with a boxfull of sweet, sweet love from Ivan all the way from Australia. In his words, "I had to carry on my lap in the plane and eat on it leh!"
Flew down to meet Ivan ann Alec and Ning at Kovan from school for dinner. Too bad Lyn had to fly and Nic had dinner at aunt's or it will be the full turn out (sans evil twin jon as usual)
The new standard of measurement, Heartland Mall.
Always a pleasure to hang out with the bros (and ning). Ivan's roomie sounds like a freaking nightmare. Typical only son spoilt brad. Wonder how Ivan can live with him. Must be his elder brother instinct.
It seems Ivan will have to go for KINS alone. What a coincidence that just as we are talking about Alec's reservist experience, AD called to ask if I want to transfer back to PAD. Well, why not since its related to my studies. So Ivan was screaming something about not fair or calling me names with AD still on the phone with me. So its back to the cameras and writings for me.
We were chilling at Xin Wang (Hong Kong Cafe to Ivan) when we experienced mistaken identity. There's two girls sitting at a table behind alec. So I was looking around when suddenly the girl at the table that was facing me gave a shocked look of recognition. I thought I saw wrongly so I look away then back again and the girl still gave the same look. So I gave a stunted and puzzled look and look at Ning. Then she whispered, "you know them ah" "NOoo!" then we started laughing. So we told Alec and Ivan and the two girls were still giving the weird look and glance. So the whole table end up laughing like crazy.
We figured they might think I'm some superstar/actor/singer/celebrity and start talking about the whole incident which was so yesterday. At this point, the girl back facing us was still turning back to catch a glance or something. Haha. We went into the whole discussion of how celebrity friends felt and what I'm going to say if they ask for signature and all.
The most common things become so much fun with friends around.

碎碎念
最近脾气好暴躁，为了无畏的小事而大动肝火。
可能是天气作祟，或许是真的老了。
身体也不怎么好，病了好几个礼拜，累了好几天。
可能是少了些关怀，或许是该放个假的时候了。
又期待，又害怕二十六日的影展
二十一日和二十八日的考试似乎不曾存在
要交的功课也忘的一干二净
眼看假期就要来临了，却不知道该做些什么。
头～痛～
Ivan谢回来了。Muthu涂生日了。OCT兄弟该聚聚了。
累了。念够了。该喘口气了。

倔强
倔强.是实力.也是死穴
倔强 五月天
當 我和世界不一樣 那就讓我不一樣 堅持對我來說 就是以剛克剛
我 如果對自己妥協 如果對自己說謊 即使別人原諒 我也不能原諒
最美的願望 一定最瘋狂 我就是我自己的神 在我活的地方
我和我最後的倔強 握緊雙手絕對不放
下一站是不是天堂 就算失望不能絕望
我和我驕傲的倔強 我在風中大聲的唱
這一次為自己瘋狂 就這一次 我和我的倔強
對 愛我的人別緊張 我的固執很善良 我的手越骯髒 眼神越是發光
你 不在乎我的過往 看到了我的翅膀 你說被火燒過 才能出現鳳凰
逆風的方向 更適合飛翔 我不怕千萬人阻擋 只怕自己投降
我和我最後的倔強 握緊雙手絕對不放
下一站是不是天堂 就算失望不能絕望
我和我驕傲的倔強 我在風中大聲的唱
這一次為自己瘋狂 就這一次 我和我的倔強
我和我最後的倔強 握緊雙手絕對不放
下一站是不是天堂 就算失望不能絕望
我和我驕傲的倔強 我在風中大聲的唱
這一次為自己瘋狂 就這一次 我和我的倔強
就這一次 讓我大聲唱
啦啦啦...就算失望 不能絕望
啦啦啦...就這一次 我和我的倔強
倔强是优点也是死穴

手机没电了
十一月十二日２００７年
晚上９点４５分
吡吡吡
手机发出了最后的声音
没 电 了
没回家
一个人在小小的录音室
隔音的门
把我和世界隔离
一个人在冷冷的录音室
音乐充实了房间
声音占据了时间
杂音回应着心情
失落渐渐响起
沉重的门
隔离外面的干扰
也隔去了你的声音
手机没电了
该充电了

垃圾車
When 3 person tells you the same thing, it has to be true.
Last night the third person told me the same thing.
AmIbeingtoohelpful?Whowastheretohelp?Whowillbetheretohelp?Maybetheydon'tevenneedmyhelp.Aretherenootherpeopletohelp?
Read from some website that 牧羊座的男孩:
傻乎乎的以为热情可以拯救全世界
他个拿着支长矛穿上胄甲的唐吉诃德，誓铲除一切让世界开倒车的祸根。也许他正为某种理想主义献身而骄傲的脸烫烫，或是能尽一己之力而兴奋的笑出来。当然，他做的事可能只是比别人多走十步路，将垃圾倒在桶或将多找的零钱塞回老板的手，都令他深为自己的情操而着迷。同情弱者，打击强权是他穷毕生之力的追寻，他能够接受当面的指责，却受不了在背后支支吾吾，此事一传到他的耳里，立刻火山爆发，至于岩浆，不仅替他出了一口气，也把他一起活埋了。
外表坚如岩石，内心脆如玻璃
要男羊助你一臂之力简直比吃饭还容易。你只要流露一股无助的气质即可，当然能有求救的眼神保证万无一失。男羊就会成为一个百毒不侵的坚强巨人，可是要令巨人流泪，你只需告诉他，你不喜欢他，你从来就没认为他是你的朋友，尤其在博取他的信任之后，便足以令他心碎。他们相信朋友，重视爱情，期望奇迹，信仰胜利。坚如岩石是因为挑战欲而坚强。脆如玻璃是因拒绝而非多情。最危险的敌人最忠心的朋友
Maybe its also because 高傲的牧羊不愿意流露自己无阻的一面，也不肯开口向人求助。抱着『宁可天下人负我，不愿我负人』的英雄式告白面对世界。
I think its also because I rather people be 心甘情愿 doing it out of their own will then for them to feel obliged to do so. Guess this is where the 傻乎乎 part fits in.
阿信说的对，那谁又会是我的垃圾車呢?

Loose Ends
Polaroid films have increased their prices. From $34 to $40 for a twin pack. Each piece of polaroid has gone from $1.70 to $2. Books Actually will be moving out from their cosy little white room soon. It seems the little things I love in life is slowly disappearing. Will my life slowly degenerate into non-existence?
I'm currently reading The Secret History, for the third time. It is most probably the book I've read for the most time. It seems to have a strange connection with me. I find myself being drawn deep into Hampden. I understand Richard's lies. I feel Camilia's pain when she cut her feet by the river. I feel Robert's cold that first winter in Hampden. I wish I could truly feel the love they had for each other. The summer house, the dinners, the walks and the parties. Only in the book can I find what I've been looking for. The strange connection and acceptance. Perhaps the magnitude of that kind of life could only be lived through the pages of their lives.

摆布.纵容
最讨厌被人摆布的滋味，可为何如此纵容你的不屑。
| |
As Of Now...
Digital Film Production has been taking a toil on my life. Been troubled by it ever since June. It has messed up my life, my room, my wallet and my sense of time. And now things are coming to a closure though the pace is not at all slowing down.
Friday was the first time in months I went for a movie. Watched Stardust with Alec and Ningz. The book is alot better. Though there are some interesting/funny parts in the movie, like the campy pirate captain and all. But I felt the essence of the book is pretty much lost. The notion of Heart's Desire. How Tristan's parent's met, the star's heart and the idea of the babylon candle. I wish they kept some of the things i liked in the book. A nice movie nonetheless if you have not read the book. Like alec and Ning. Oh. they both had a image make-over.
Yesterday, I finished my final scene. It looks promising. Hope the tapes, decks, cameras and FCP agrees too. THANKS TO AH LEI and VERON for their help.
Went furniture shopping with Gab and his mom in the evening. Having a new place is so nice. So many interesting things to do a empty room. I wish I could do that too.
The next few weeks will be hectic. I do hope to have a nice dinner with mom and a fun gathering with the OCT bros. So long since I had time for myself. Been devoting too much time for other people. I wonder if it will ever happen to me.
Hugs and kisses. Miss you my friends.
