It's Friday! You know how i always get excited about Fridays.

To be honest though, my Friday started last night when the new season of Grey's Anatomy began. Haha... This time, a man has been used as a chew-toy by a bear because his brother touched a cub and angered the mother bear. This man - Mr. Robinson eventually died - not before chiding his brother for being reckless and according to him "having an early mid-life crisis by marrying his rebound girl". The younger Robinson was later found to have a huge tumour in his brain that cannot be removed via surgery. Apparently, one of the symptoms of brain tumour is spontaneity. Throughout it all, his wife, a nameless ex-waitress with less than perfect looks, and presumably less than perfect life, who thought she married a man who loved her despite only knowing him for a few weeks before the wedding was standing there, trying to grasp the situation. she's always known she's the rebound girl, but really, did he marry her because he had a brain tumour? She asked Meredith in the end - am i a symptom of his brain tumour?

That is a very neat and powerful line. Is she just a symptom of his brain tumour or did he really marry her because he loved her?

Imagine how she must have felt if she were a real person. She was a waitress who landed a rich and good-looking man, who was good to her and treated her well. In the land of Pretty Woman and the thousands of other fairytale stories, they should have lived happily ever after. But in TV land, she discovers that she is just a symptom. Not even a rebound girl, but a symptom of his ever-enlarging tumour. Argh... heart break.

I don't know if anyone would be able to recover from this trauma fully without some odd psychological scarring. would you?

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes, ...

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still, ...

it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh. (*_*)
