CJ turns the BIG 2-2

Ah..... I've realised that this blog has become superbly self-indulgent. I just say what I want to with no regards to whoever's reading it. I've allowed myself to write about so and so and how I still think about him... albeit very rarely now.

It's just so difficult you know? Because I still see him at dance every week and he'll talk to me once in a while... and act as if nothing happened. But I've resolved to ignore him totally. Deleted that stick in the eye from my msn and friendster, which I see as HUGE benchmark given that our relationship started on msn. *sighs contentedly*

So... I turned 22 today. How nice! You only get to be the same digits every 11 years you know?

Sunday.. pre birthday day: I went to shop for groceries and stationery after dance. And there were all these obnoxious kids running around blocking my way. And their parents after them thinking that their overweight, coconut-headed, bespectacled geek kid's the best looking one around. I just feel like shoving those nutheads aside and shout: OUTTA MY WAY YOU TWERPS!

ok ok.... sometimes I'm in one of these me against the world mood. Which actually only happens while I shop. While I love shopping, I dislike the crowds that get in my way constantly. Orchard's still ok. It's the family kind of crowd that I detest. Why do couples with children amble on so FRIGGIN' SLOWLY? It's not like the kids are slow. NO! they run straight ahead and knock into people and things.... while their parents walk slower than ever... shouting after them at the top of their voices: " Boy ah!!! bu yao pao jiang kuai ah!"

I HATE THAT! Those are such loser behaviours and it scares me to think I'll be like these people in the future! My goodness! I cannot imagine myself like that!

At this rate I don't think I'll make a good parent. I'll just shout at my kid: "Shut your trap, you twerp!"

oh well... whatever.

Spent the whole Sunday night and the 1st few hours of my birthday burning soundtracks out from my computer... I'm trying to build up an even more extensive music collection you see. Plenty of birthday well-wishers along the way messaging me and chatting to me. and so I was happy.

My day at work is a REALLY hectic one! I reached office at 11... was 'homeless' cos the original occupant of my workstation returned from Beijing. So I worked out my script in half an hour on someone else's computer. Then came editing.... then came studio.... Denise was REALLY REALLY nice once again. She's such a pleasure to work with and she'll just chat with the rest of us like that. No airs whatsoever. And so witty too! And of course blindingly beautiful.

My team had tickets to watch Constantine and so I went even though my family's at home waiting for me with my birthday cake. Mom said I should enjoy myself. And anyway, everyone sleeps at earliest 2am in my household. I felt really loved and happy. Because they're just so strong... and there for me. It's nice.

Constantine was... oh well... worth that 14.50 cab ride home. Thrills and spills galore! And some cheap-thrills! HA! Action... occult... mythology... and keanu and rachel! Great combination! I'll take Constantine over Superman or Spiderman anyday. Let's not go into Daredevil. It's in "a class" of it's own man!

Acting-wise, Keanu was surprisingly successful because he doesn't need to look expressive. His 'perpetual perplexed incredulity' look (as mr tan put it) worked.... cos he could deliver dry one-liners the way they should be delivered. And I love Rachel! She's just so luminous and beautiful in a fey kind of way! Can imagine her as the fairy queen Titiana!

Oh yea... no spoilers here. But remember to stay till after the credits to watch the surprise ending! I got the tip-off from the screenshow. haha!

Birthday ended with a small family celebration... no, actually it ended on the cab ride home! :)

But part deux is coming up on 12th Feb Sat. I'm going salsa clubbing @ Union Square! YAY!!!

So excited! Now if I can only figure out what to wear... hmm.....
