Random Inscriptions

After a few months of preparation, I am finally leaving for Cambodia this Sunday!

You can be sure that I will post super a lot of photos when I come back.

It is time for another episode of………. Hits and misses.

Top of the list for keywords - people searching for a Elaine from SCI. Scary. But fortunately, I think there are be more than one Elaine in the school. I hope so too.

And further down the list there is a “emotional labour in Singapore”. What is that all about? hahah.

Top of the list this month for referrals - also looking for “eelainee”. Weird.

There is no privacy in the world of the WWW.  People google each other. So weird but so true.

My sister ask why I blog about such things, I say it is just for fun and to fill up space.

Honestly, I think it is because I am too lazy to write about anything else.

Especially so when I am feeling a little sad and depressed now.

Everything seems to be going downhill for me and I hope that things would pick up soon.

Who would have thought balloon twisting could evoke such immense happiness?

In 1996, Addi Somekh and Charlie Eckert began traveling to different places in the world to make balloon hats for people and take photos of them. The goal was to show people all over the world laughing and having fun, and to emphasize the fact that all human beings are born with the ability to experience joy. (read more…)

I like such projects!

Many VRTs again.

Time of the month again to emo.

Fond memories were revisited after stumbling upon a long forgotten movie soundtrack on youtube.

You know how you can just listen to the same song ten thousand times, even if the song evokes negative emotions.

Like how 张震岳 puts it very aptly in 就让这首歌 - which was on my replay for a while too, because I was trying to learn the rap. Hurr. 

有没有那么一首歌会让你很想念
有没有那么一首歌你会假装听不见
听了又掉眼泪却按不下停止键

This is how this song makes me feel.

Don’t get me started on the movie. I always have a liking for weepy movies.

20th time on the replay.

Recently, I have been thinking that I have been quite sheltered my entire life. I have the sudden urge to get myself out of Singapore and try to make a living on my own. It is like I need to rough it out to find out who exactly I am and what exactly I want to do.

But another part of me is telling me to stay put and be with my family.

Confused. But I am quite sure it would happen in the near future. Or at least I will make it happen.

Some say that when you grow older, you become wiser.

Actually I think when you grow older, you become more nonchalant, detached and indifferent about everything.

Unless of course when women hit menopause, where everything becomes irritating and annoying. Gosh.

Once again, another song is stuck in my head.

Especially so after watching Made of Honour. And about the show, it is very predictable of your usual romantic comedy but I just like watching such movies, regardless how terrible some of the critics were.

And yes, I cried. Oh well.

But the thing is, how can you love someone and not know it - for 10 years!? But this is such a recurring theme in soap operas, Channel8 TV series, Korean movies etc etc.

I like them anyway.

Love Song - Sara Bareilles (click here for youtube video)

Edit: she wrote this song for her record label cause they wanted her to write a love song for her album and she didn’t want to. But it wound up being an amazing song anyway! And now the music video makes sense too. hurr.

Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
Breathing gets harder, even I know that
Made room for me, it’s too soon to see
If I’m happy in your hands
I’m unusually hard to hold on to

Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me

I’m not gonna write you a love song
‘Cause you asked for it
‘Cause you need one, you see
I’m not gonna write you a love song
‘Cause you tell me it’s
Make or break in this
If you’re on your way
I’m not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I’m gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

I learned the hard way
That they all say things you want to hear
My heavy heart sinks deep down under
And you and your twisted words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry

Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I’m trying to let you hear me as I am

Promise me that you’ll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
‘Cause I believe there’s a way you can love me
Because I say
I won’t write you a love song
‘Cause you asked for it
‘Cause you need one, you see

I’m not gonna write you a love song
‘Cause you tell me it’s make or break in this

Is that why you wanted a love song
‘Cause you asked for it
‘Cause you need one, you see
I’m not gonna write you a love song
‘Cause you tell me it’s make or break in this
If you’re on your way
I’m not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don’t want it for a minute
Babe, I’ll walk the seven seas
When I believe that there’s a reason to
Write you a love song today

Prior to setting off for my Cambodia expedition, I went for a medical examination yesterday.

And, we had to take 2 jabs.

The last time I took so many injections at the same time was when I had food poisoning. 3  into my booty. Dun ask why the butt. But I think it travels to the stomach and intestines faster? Anyway.

The point is, this time round the injections went into my left and right arm. Jab A hurts while being injected while Jab B will only haunt me (according to the doctor) in the next 1 to 2 days.

So being right handed, Jab A naturally went to the right hand and Jab B to the left.

But I think the doctor jab the wrong jab into my right arm and the right jab into my left arm. (sounds like a nursery rhyme)

My right arm is aching like crazy. Left hand feels… normal.

I cannot raise up my right arm without whining.

But then again, I am a whiny person.

My best friend would say - YOU WEAK AH!
