Is the glass half empty or half full?
This is a common expression, used rhetorically to indicate
that a particular situation could be a cause for optimsim (half full),
pessimsim (half empty), realism ("that depends on whether you are pouring or drinking"),
or as a general litmus test to simply determine if an individual is an optimist or a pessimist.
The purpose of the question is to demonstrate that the situation may be seen
in different ways depending on one's point of view
and that there may be opportunity in the situation
as well as trouble.
- Thank you Wikipedia!-

And so, this happened admist a very philosophical discussion of life's perspectives:

K: Look at the cup. What is it?
S: It's plastic.

-_-'" (like seriously...)

*yawns*
What a lazy week. Not to mention exhausting.
Seriously need to get some R & R.
Speaking of which, excited discussion filled the table during dinner last night.
R.I.N.J.A.N.I.
Like how brilliant is that?
*twiddle thumbs*
M sure Lin Peizhen doesn't read this blog.
But LIN PEIZHEN!!! Go go go!!!
We shall carry 6-packs up!!!

On the other end of the spectrum...

Training shall commence.
Ajar ajar fighting!
Show them who is CHAMPS!
(and i really miss you guys)

And simply because you make me smile.

*drum roll & smoke effects as the red curtain rises*
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

Ok. Before i get all lame-ass on you.
Let me remind you that this festive season is NOT a break at all.
*seriously stoned face*
How is sleeping at a 3am average everyday a BREAK?
Ironically everyone raves on & on about "enjoying your CNY break"
Like really???

And did i mention that the roads are oh-SO empty today?
The paranoid me had the same question ringing in my head since 7am.
"Is this a working day? Will i be the only idiot who shows up?"
Yes. This my friends is what i call a post-festive withdrawal syndrome.
Can't wait for the frikken DOI to be over.
Not that it's all THAT bad.
I'm just ranting.
March is such an awesomely bad month.
And to think Marvellous begins with the letter M.
But i would really like to thank mostest for being so sweet this morning.
"Have a good first day back at work dear! Hugs! :-D"
No wonder you are my mostest la!
Cheers also to surprise visits from baby! Yay!

Ok. Nuff bitching about the holiday season.

On to the sweeter side of life.
*beams*
Alright shoosh while i try to get into the right mood.
*winks*
Well...as you all know St. Valentines' is overrated.
I know i've said it a million times before.
And i say it again.
"St. Valentines' is overrated"
But i also know that you still do get pleasantly surprised at how somethings turn out.
And of course at that point you get all heart meltingly double-standard-ish and go
"Awww...that is so so sweet"
What a sap right?
Thank you for making it a day & night to remember.
Because the number 46 has never seem so wonderful.
And simply because you make me smile.
Psst...i am still copyrighting the 'dining at the beach' idea.



One more thing.
Chris is leaving this Sunday.
*sobs*
Anyway "WE WILL SEE YOU REALLY SOON!!!"

BIG BANG LOVE.



While the film's English title sounds obviously homoerotic,
it also hints at the film's significant theme of love and eternity,
something also implied by the Japanese title meaning
"4.6 Billion Years of Love"
~ Heroic Cinema ~

Indeed a hard film to swallow.
But i did however loved the use of analogies in the film.
Rainbows & butterflies for all things ephermeral.
Repetition & monotony in the confines of law & institution.
Free love in the barren land and crimson skies.
Eternity in space & heaven.
Excessive use of red for crimes of passion,
declaration of love & bleeding hearts.
Tight spaces & dark lightings igniting traces of clastrophobia & inner demons.

Pretty cool after you put some thoughts into it.

But at the immediate end of the show...
3 girls left the cinema with only one word in mind:
"EH?"

There comes a time where you have to learn.
The very notion of compromise.
The virtue of understanding.
And the simple act of trying.
Suddenly things aren't as bad as they seem.

Insatiable needs of being overwhelmed.
By the current, the here & now.
In this moment in time.
There is nothing more. And nothing less.
And suddenly it all falls into place.
A perfect piece of the puzzle.



For some reason i kept thinking it was on the 23rd.
I am late.
But HAPPY BELATED BDAY Marc! :)

"Clare, i want to tell you, again, i love you.
Our love has been the thread through the labyrinth,
the net under the high-wire walker,
the only real thing in this strange life of mine i could ever trust.
Tonight i feel that my love for you has more density in this world than i do, myself:
as though it could linger on after me
and surround you, leep you, hold you."

~The Time Traveler's Wife~

Can anyone please say literary brilliance (for the millionth time)?
Reading it the second time makes me want to read it all over once more.
I know this drops me like to like a puny 1 on the "funky-o-meter".
But at least i know i was once a fiery 9.5.
Awesomeness.

Of a silence that falls through the depths of the night.
Crashing waves and the breeze's soft carass.
In a moment of elation.
Time is but a metaphor.

Happy 31st.
And simply because you make me smile.
