Indulgence

I hate (well, not really) getting hooked onto TV dramas. The entire day flies by and you realise all you've done is watch 10 back-to-back episodes of Ugly Betty. Sheesh...

A Strange But Wonderful Dream

I was attending a campus concert of some sort. The show was about to begin so the audience were quietly seated.

Until the 2 emcees walked out, one of whom was Ashin. I could recognise his built and golden hair even though I was seated pretty far away from the stage.

There was instant pandemonium, as if no one knew that he'd be making an appearance. Everyone surged forward to snap pictures. I did not have a camera with me but while scurrying to the front, someone passed me a pink digicam (yes, v weird I know).

When I finally managed to elbow my way to the front, I caught Ashin's eye. He flashed the cutest smile ever and started striking goofy poses for ME. He puffed his cheeks out, flashed the v-sign and made funny expressions. At ME. For ME. *faints of happiness*

After a few quick shots, I ran back to my seat. At that moment, my eyes opened to reality and it was only then that the thrill of that dream took me over. It felt so damn real.

And that was probably as close as I can ever get to any idol. *sigh*

It's only this pretty in the movies...

It's another one of those tragic love stories where one of the protaganists inevitably meets an ill-fated end. As bummed as I am about the sad ending, the film (現在只想愛你) is still incredibly romantic (if you disregard the awkward acting). I've always loved the notion of sharing a secret place with the love of your life. It's like an exclusive club that the couple forms between themselves and others are not privy to the experience. In that little space, no one else can come in and no one else can judge the worth of your feelings. Isn't this the most wonderful thing that can happen in our time?

many things to do, many things to see...

I was looking at the big puffy clouds from the train some mornings ago and suddenly wanted to fly among them. I miss the anticipation of touching down at an airport I've never been in, of taking in the first breath of a foreign city I've never visited before.

(Guess Italy's not on the cards for this year anymore but still looking forward to the Cambodia trip coming in a few months!)

I heart Mayday

Yelled our throats raw and jumped our legs sore on Saturday night for the Mayday concert. Totally excruciating but worth every bit of pain! The only bitter part was not being close enough to the stage (damn the record company for holding those pre-sales!!). Wish I could have been one of those girls in the first row who managed to get a piece of Ashin when he came down for one song.

Love Mayday, love their songs, love their words. Always gives me a renewed sense of purpose after listening to them.

Life's too short to be doing something you don't like. Search for your dream, chase that dream, or die trying.
