A recent salsa house party I attended.... Nice!

A Quaint L'il Night Out
T'was really just simple night out-cum 'catching up' session with with celeb pal, JP and another playwriting classmate of ours, LW. But the dinner-cum-movie combo was GREAT! Guess simplicity in the form of good company and conversation works wonders...
Lem*ngr*ss dinner was awesome. Hadn't had Thai fare in a while and I really missed green curry. JP introduced mango salad and it's such a MAJOR reprieve from my normal economic rice and noodles fare I've been feeding myself in school and at home. Bleah.... I will have to pay for eating all that by running extra later, but TO HELL WITH weight watching! Time to pig out abit after my Shangri-la show show. heeheehee...
Haven't been shopping in town for God knows how long, and admittedly, I WAS glad to be in civilisation and shopping amongst the trendy again. But funny how I can't seem to find anything I like enough to make me buy it there and then. It seems like of late, nothing really catches my fancy. Shop after shop full of great clothes, accessories, makeup,bags, shoes, the works. But why does everything look the same?
Why isn't there a single anything that stands out?
Maybe it's because I'm older and therefore wiser with my spending, or maybe it's just because I've become desensitised to beautiful things in general. Too many pretty girls in pretty clothes all around. Too many pretty boys with no substance all around. Too many crappy dates of which none I like.
I wish to God it's the former reason. It must SUCK big time to be desensitised to beautiful things and be numb to human relationships.
But like I always say, when all else fails, there's always dance and music..... and movies. Nothing beats viewing a great movie and coming out feeling like you've lived a whole centuary and learnt a whole lifetime of lessons!
Post-shopping, JP, LW and I caught T*m B*rton's Corps* Bride. It's breathtakingly beautiful and macabre, amazingly witty and SO friggin' full of references I gotta go watch it again and mull over every scene. Just to get the references right. :) Damned occupational hazard from MTV Days....
Anyway, the evening ended quite nicely. And I was glad.. Very much so. *sighs in contentment*
I still remember a great weekend night out with JP, LW and VG some time ago. Dinner at Espl*anade, then slow walk to F*llerton for ice-cream, where we sat there for 3 friggin' hours talking our hearts out and enjoying the evening breeze. It's BRILLIANT!
It's kinda ironic that we only do these get togethers in our final year when we were so much free-er in the 1st 3 yrs of our study. But better now than never.
Time to retire, but here's something courtesy of F.... crappy quiz but it answers a very basic human curiosity. Check it out!

The Inimitable Jeeves and the UK dream
Recently revisited possibly one of my fave English farce writer, P.G. Wodgehouse. He writes all the Jeeves, the butler, stories and they're incredibly amusing.
Cos in those settings there exists many a fat bumbling Englishmen who're WAY too full of themselves. And they always end up falling into Jeeves' lil game and acting the fool.
And doncha just LOVE these names? Bertie Wooster, Tuppy Glossop, Old Sippy, Filmer the ole bloke....
There's an amazing onomatopoeic quality to them that's so incredibly ridiculous that the characters jump off the page! Pure Genius!
And as scriptwriter's learn, comedy's the hardest genre to tackle. Good comedy that is...
Just had a talk over breakfast with my dah-ling bro. It's appalling how we can stay in the same house and not catch up for a month. *sick*
Apparently, he wanted to pursue his game animation studies in the UK, not US. He's even found a programme for himself. And just as well, cos so and so wants to pursue his masters in the UK too come 2006/7.
And I'm just friggin waiting for my big break OR as my mom so nicely put it, for her to "fa1 cai2" which is strike lottery. Found this really cool masters programme that'll def beat me staying here for masters of comm. studies.
It's the UCLAN MA in Inter*national Docu*mentary and Fac*tual Tele*vision.
http://www.ukjournalism.org/default.asp?nc=8820&id=452
It's my infallible ticket to Nat Geo, to Discovery... hell, even to Taiwanese TVBS!
It's my ticket to all the exotic places in the world, the less-trodden path, the myriad cultures.... cos truth be told, my true blue dream job is a travelogue presenter.....
So I'm darn excited about this! haha.... Imagine some big budget international docu on some amazing discovery.... And my name in the credits! MAN! That sure makes a whole lifetime in an editing suite worth it!
My bro, meanwhile, wants a game to his name..... He wants to strike a classic like Warcraft/Starcraft...
So yea, we dream really big.... But it sure doesn't hurt anyone.
If all goes well, so and so, my bro and I can all go together and we'll do the Spanish Apartment thing... hahaha....

Block-headed
This is SOO not my day! I'm having an incredible writer's block... not helped by the constant afternoon showers which only serve to dull my mood even further...
Lethargy becomes me these days. Wonder if it's the lack of dance. like HELL I MISS DANCING! BOOHOOHOO....... *bawls loudly*
Though my 10th Oct show is a simple dance show, I'm SO looking fwd to it. That and the 3 fridays of shows at a new pub. Details not out yet, but it's gonna be hiphop. COOL! Another hiphop joint to hit soon!
MOS's opening soon as well.. I hope it's gonna be good. Cos frankly, I'm getting pretty jaded with the clubbing scene here. After a while, all the music sound similar. And I always have gripes with every club. If the music's good, it's usually too crowded and smoky. If there's space to dance, usually the music ain't too good or that the crowd is wrong.
Geez it's all wrong.. I'm not sposed to be blogging but i can't write anything for my play with 5 persons. NO-thing comes out. Zilch....
See, I need to adapt a Children's storybook into a play, write a children's story titled "The Cow That Fell To Earth" and do a scene with 5 persons.
Tackling the last one first, we each had 5 pictures of humans cut out from magazines and we pasted them onto a mahjong paper and drew connections from character to character...
I've worked mine out pretty coolly.
There's a crown jewel on board the QE2, and after it are... an escape artist, a Moroccan duke, his consort, and a pretty sailor who's the consort's gigolo. Plus a drunken thug who says all the wrong stuff at the wrong moments.
Pretty cool idea and setting, but I can't for the life of me think of a situation to put them all in other than a boat party, which will be so BLAH....
here's the catch.... the scene needs to have a mini-climax spun into it...
So here I am, mulling over the blardy thing for a day....
The prof said the conceptualizing takes up 3/4 of the time. It better. I'm spending WAYY too much time on this crap.
While at it, here's a beautiful song that I recently fell in love with.... UNDER THE BLANKET OF BLUE by Stacey Kent.
Under A Blanket of Blue
Just you and I beneath the stars.
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance
The night is ours.
Under A Blanket of Blue
Let me be thrilled by all your charms
Darling, I know my heart will dance
Within your arms.
A summer night's magic, enthralling me so.
The night would be tragic, if you weren't here to shareit my dear,
Covered with heaven above.
Let's dream a dream of love for two,
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance,
Under A Blanket of Blue.
And I leave you with another quote...
"Fighting for peace is like Fucking for virginity.... " ^__^

Much Ado about nothing...
It's silly how much i've evolved over this past year of singlehood. Yesh! I've been single for a Year, CARPEESH!!
That's a pretty cool achievement if ya ask me. Then again, being single is the status quo for me. I'm happier, healthier, more wholesome and a whole lot more confident this way.
Blogging has evolved too. This started out as a kinda shrine to my trampled ego and a propaganda tool against so and so. No longer. It's still kinda narcissistic but I want to keep it happy. No grudges here. By right this blog is way past its expiry date, but I can't bear to kill it. It chronicles my life of the past year. A darn significant year of massive upheavals and changes, which aren't too bad after all.
So hell yea! I'll keep this going.
Finished The Alchemist... it's beautiful, but nothing like The Little Prince. Wonder why people draw the parallels bet them..... Dunno if I mentioned this but I particularly love the phrase: If you truely want something, all in the world conspires to help you achieve it.
So and so's been really nice to me these days and I always enjoy nights out with him. Why is that so? I totally have no idea. I amaze myself with my own generosity in looking past all the crap he gave me. But ultimately I know a leopard seldom changes its spots, so I'm not ready to commit at all.... Then again, we can't stay in this limbo forever.
On the other hand, salsa bee who was from the same batch TCH and HC as so and so has been really really nice too. But i'm not attracted remotely. Why? I can't tell too. He passes the looks department, speaks really well and is totally gentlemanly and witty at times. And he's amazingly helpful with my schoolwork and takes an immense interest in my life and what I do. And he's got an elephant's memory for things I've said. And I know he'll potentially be great for me but somehow I cannot imagine myself with him. It's too weird. Maybe it'll evolved into a healthy platonic friendship eventually...
Then again, F's contribution on the MASTER LADDER THEORY (http://www.intellectualwhores.com/masterladder.html) means we can never be just merely good friends.
Mini Bee got an overseas posting so I haven't seen much of him. Neither have I seen Korean bee... I just learnt he got attached. Just as well... I've a better impression of him this way and we can finally talk properly without him flirting blatantly at me. I've always thought he was a player, but his attachment seemed to prove otherwise. That and a new cool friend earned. Plus 100 points. haha....
Week's been pretty awesome.. if you consider staying in editing suite for 36 hours straight awesome, that is. And that wasn't it. We had more editing thru the week and classes to attend. But the immense satisfaction derived from the end product is worth everything and possibly more. I LOVE what I do and that's probably what makes me happiest--- the realization that I'm happy with what I do and my life in general. Sure there're shites here and there, but nothing too humongous to handle. And I'm thankful for the brilliant bunch of friends I have and a great supportive family who can handle neurotic lil me.
Attended a seminar on Film Financing yesterday. Speaker TP looked TOTALLY GORGEOUS! Like GOSH! He's hotter than Pierce Brosnan and Harrison Ford added together! He didn't look that old on stage... looked early 30s. But face to face his white hair was apparent. Then again, he's obviously VERY well-built. Tall, tanned, chiselled face, wash board abs and totally flat tummy. Gosh!
Still, he's AMAZINGLY charming and a totally mind-blowing speaker with lotsa creative ideas. Was kinda blown away that somebody so smart could look this good. DANG! it's not a fair world.
Didn't learn much about film financing though. Lecture was geared on scriptwriting, of which the basic principles I've understood a long time ago. So i dozed off.. much to my embarassment. Break time came and D and I were chatting about our own script when he came along to speak to us much to my chagrin. Said he didn't see us yesterday and if we were new. So yea, we're new. And he said welcome. And that he liked us cos we're always smiling and he likes it when his audience is having a good time.
Hell I was having a good time! Having a good time dozing off in the plush seat of auditorium!
So I smiled sheepishly..... Maybe he thinks i'm having more good time...
D went off after lunch and I would have died in my seat if not for a cuppa nasty coffee they provided. Yucks.
Towards the end of the seminar, all the participants were supposed to pitch a story to TP as if he were the CEO of Warner Bros and he'll issue us cheques on the amount of $ he'll finance for the movie.
So we all went... and it's really cool to hear industry players. And mind you this is quite an exclusive seminar. People pay 180 for it... So i guess only the really interested party attend. There were Medi*c*rp scriptwriters, the writer/producer of recent movie, The Ma*d and some other people like songwriters and an investment banker.
And at the end he had a show of hands on the amt of $ we received to 'fund' out movies and turns out I got 2nd highest!!! USD800,000!! haha.... He loved my idea! And my ego was boosted more than a lil healthily.
Winning idea was gangster rapper travels back in time to 120os England, meets this loser called Will, surnamed Shakespeare, write plays and music together and revolutionise the culture of England forever. They battle a tyrannical Pope for freedom of expression and give a new lease of life to the repressed peasants.
Like HOW WACKY IS THAT?? Gosh I loved that idea! I could never match that up... so yea.. 2nd 's cool. 2nd among industry players.
And that's not all.... This lady came up to me after the thing ended to get my contact, saying someone might be interested in my story idea. haha! and that someone was the co-producer of O*sam*a. Brilliant! I couldn't believe my stroke of luck! Being at the right place at the right time really matters!
Now i gotta worry about getting the script out..... but with dance out of the way things should be easy??
It was dance dance dance ltr in the evening with Salsa with F at Union first. Man! I CAN'T SALSA IN HEELS! Just can't! C'est impossible! Half the time i'm losing my balance or sliding off somewhere. It's got no friction and it's scary being so high up!
But dancing gets me really high.... and the highness continued at Cocco later with Ju, S, J and PS, who's such a darling! Cute lil boy he is! And so sporting to come with all of us! It's really wacky cos JU used to teach PS 3 yrs back. Like WHO THE HELL CLUBS WITH YER TEACHER?
It's freaky man!
Then again, nobody can beat clubbing with yer aunt! haha.... And worse..... Mommy dearest???!!!
Cocco music was a tad bit lousier than it's usual fare. Where's DJ M*ylk when you need him? Sigh....
But a very sporting PS and the ever exuberant Sha totally rescued the outing...
A bunch of Prince*ton dudes tried to hook up with Ju and who should be there but MZ! haha.... and I so know that he tried to make a good impression on Korean bee, for reasons unfathomable to me.... So I told him I knew Korean bee and he said yea... we used to play basketball toegther.
Oh well, I still hold on to my belief that he's an arrogant ass. Mabbe the party ltr wil prove me otherwise??
Supper at Spize with Sha and co was good as always. Great company, great conversation, great food. My heart sighs with contentment....
Prince*ton dudes were there, invited all of us to their housewarming ... then they left. In the light they looked really plain save for MZ. People I won't even turn to look at on the streets. But it's the Prince*ton factor I guess....
Salsa bee came along with his buncha pals and I immediately developed an inexplicably revulsion towards him. Why is he always carrying that silly N*ke bag? Why is he always in red Ad*das shirt? Why does he always look so lecherous?
And he's with this buncha guys and girls who just totaly don't look my type. How is he to fit into my world? and mine into his? And he's a darn scrub.... sitting by the passenger side of his best friend's car.... going out with him and chilling...Geez!
The more I think of him, the more repulsed I get.
Time for Operation Squish Salsa Bee to be in place...
I'm not mean.. just being practical. Cos I think there's at least a 50% chance I'll be back with so and so and I can't lead salsa bee on..... Even if I didn't wanna be back with so and so, I'll still want my freedom. So it's gotta be all or nothing..... but never salsa bee. SO better to tell him early than break his heart ltr.
And Karma does come back....
This Psychotic bee (he's a psychologist who'e always slamming my actions cos i wouldn't go out with him) has been saying some pretty condescending stuff... I hate him. Surprised I didn't block him the previous time. He's totally emo-depressive. The type I wouldn't even want as friends, let alone date...
That said... I need to burn off adipose tissues man.... before my next show on Oct 10th. Cos i'll be wearing cheongsam and those extra pounds gotta burn off asap!!!
Burn Burn Burn!!
PS- R, my TODAY editor friend, won a car in a golf lucky draw of sorts... like FWAH!!! Geez why can't I win one too? huh? huh? huh?
That's a pretty cool achievement if ya ask me. Then again, being single is the status quo for me. I'm happier, healthier, more wholesome and a whole lot more confident this way.
Blogging has evolved too. This started out as a kinda shrine to my trampled ego and a propaganda tool against so and so. No longer. It's still kinda narcissistic but I want to keep it happy. No grudges here. By right this blog is way past its expiry date, but I can't bear to kill it. It chronicles my life of the past year.

Prince*ton dudes were there, invited all of us to their housewarming ... then they left. In the light they looked really plain save for MZ. People I won't even turn to look at on the streets. But it's the Prince*ton factor I guess....
Salsa bee came along with his buncha pals and I immediately developed an inexplicably revulsion towards him. Why is he always carrying that silly N*ke bag? Why is he always in red Ad*das shirt? Why does he always look so lecherous?
And he's with this buncha guys and girls who just totaly don't look my type. How is he to fit into my world? and mine into his? And he's a darn scrub.... sitting by the passenger side of his best friend's car.... going out with him and chilling...Geez!
The more I think of him, the more repulsed I get.
Time for Operation Squish Salsa Bee to be in place...
I'm not mean.. just being practical. Cos I think there's at least a 50% chance I'll be back with so and so and I can't lead salsa bee on..... Even if I didn't wanna be back with so and so, I'll still want my freedom. So it's gotta be all or nothing..... but never salsa bee. SO better to tell him early than break his heart ltr.
And Karma does come back....
This Psychotic bee (he's a psychologist who'e always slamming my actions cos i wouldn't go out with him) has been saying some pretty condescending stuff... I hate him. Surprised I didn't block him the previous time. He's totally emo-depressive. The type I wouldn't even want as friends, let alone date...
That said... I need to burn off adipose tissues man.... before my next show on Oct 10th. Cos i'll be wearing cheongsam and those extra pounds gotta burn off asap!!!
Burn Burn Burn!!
PS- R, my TODAY editor friend, won a car in a golf lucky draw of sorts... like FWAH!!! Geez why can't I win one too? huh? huh? huh?
