it started with a kiss
this is undoubtedly one of the sweetest drama/comic that i've ever seen. i read the comic, watched the japanese version 3 times and now, the taiwanese version 2 times.
the two different versions have two different feelings to it. the taiwanese one follows the comic closer, and that's what made me think that it's better than the japanese version because the comic is tons sweeter.
aaaaah. soooo sweet <3

jam@zionit would have been another boring, event-less saturday if not for kailing's sms.. inviting me to a jam session held at her church, which is about ten mins away from my place. she told me there was going to be live bands playing at the church. well.. since i would have been spending yet another saturday night surfing and stoning in front of my computer, why not, i thought. so i jio-ed yuenling (kailing gave me two tickets).
we met up at great world first for dinner at kenny rogers. i love kenny rogers. i think a lot of people hate it and i don't know why! haha.. but i know 01s86 likes it.. we had quite a number of gatherings at kenny rogers.. esp. the suntec branch. lol...
after that we went over to st. bernadette church.
our entry pass... that entitled us to a non-aicoholic drink. and no prizes for guessing what i got.
candles and lovely lights! did you see that glowing pinkish light at the right? ingenious idea... they places glowing bulbs under the stand of a red lamp. LOVELY PINK. my camera took it nicely.
kailing told me the indonesian community's really active in the church. here's the indonesian outfit that was performing 'bengawan solo'! ahhhh. i love the song.. ever since i heard a chinese orchestra version of it when i was in secondary school. 
kailing and i! i haven't seen her in years. i miss the days we had together at some of the most tiring classes... and dinner dates at spize.. T_Tafter chilling out at the event for a while.. we made our way to starbucks.. because if i don't show up again (despite my promise), matty will kill me. haha. sooo christmas-y~! the toffee nut latte's up for sale again (STILL TOO SWEET) and the christmas tree is up~~ every decor.. from the cups to the sleeves.. from the lights to the music.. everything screams XMAS in my face...
matty~ my best kaki at starbucks~~~~ one of the candid-est person i know! lubbb you <3haha... i miss starbucks.. the coffee.. the customers.. the people.. the environment.
and i love my handphone. BEAUTIFUL PICTURES.
naa naaa naaaaa.
listening to: josh groban -- you're still you
so others may liveyesterday, i was on leave from work and i felt so... different. when was the last time i hung out in a shopping mall on a weekday afternoon? it just feels so good to be in an empty shopping mall when you don't have to beat the crowd. no queueing, no waiting. no noisy restaurants, no packed cinema theaters. pure bliss just runs through my veins!
so actually i took leave because i had to go for this interview.. somewhere at changi and trust me... it's one secluded corner of the island. my cab was making turns and rounds because we can't find this heavily secluded place. i'm fine with the job but not the location, so i totally screwed up the written test. i'm quite regretting it now though.. gees.
after that i went out for lunch and a movie with yuenling. i'm telling you, i'm hooked to marina square's ministry of food. the red-bean paste (shiratama zenzai, for those who wants to try) IS HEAVENLY. the almond flakes just makes it extra tasty. trust me, go try it.
but! we didn't have that. frankly i've been eating the red-bean thing weekly since end of september. we wanted a change so we went to jack's place. i haven't had a meal there since my birthday in 2003... and i remember i had a horrible time, struggling with their lobster bisque (i'm not saying theirs are not good.. i think lobster bisques taste horrible generally anywhere).
After that, I watched
the guardian. previously when i first saw the trailer, my first thought was.. 'what?! a remake of
umizaru?!'. i mean seriously.. the sea, the diver training, the sinking ships.. every scene was screaming
umizaru. so i dubbed the movie
the sea monkey. lol..
considering that i loved the whole
umizaru series to bits (which consists of 2 movies and one drama), i'm surprised that
the guardian still managed to make me excited, feel sorry for all the unfortunate things that happened to our leads and even cry at the sad parts.
umizaru still made me cry more, but
the guardian was still touching and disturbingly similiar to
umizaru!
ashton kutcher (man, he's hot without that shaggy hair)'s fischer was a replica of senzaki while kevin costner's randall is simply.. AJUSSHI! (for those who did not know about my obsession with a particular 48 year old guy, don't ask.) not just the people but even the storyline! everybody had a past to deal with... mistakes come back to haunt our heroic protagonists but they triumph over them... boy training to be a diver meets a local girl who wants to just have a fling but they end up being serious... main guy helps the weakest guy in class to excel in the training.. does that sound like
umizaru already?!
sigh. i wish i can just quit my job and spend all my time in cinemas.
anyways. i'm so into justin timberlake nowadays. did anyone see his music video for his latest single
my love? my gawd. no one should miss it. i haven't seen such slick dance moves in a long long time (esp. since koreans don't dance like that. they are more into full-blast adrenaline rushing hip-hop breakdance). i'm so tempted to buy his
futuresex/lovesounds album!
but i'm broke.
listening to: justin timberlake -- my love
jumping with mixed emotionsso i bought my new phone, w800i.. well.. it's new, yet not new in a way. i don't care. i'm loving the phone so much. especially the orange/white look. nice.
i'm having some rough times at my job. i don't know.
i'm so tired. i will collapse due to accumulated fatigue SOON.
