Probably some of you might already know this, but I am a hopeless romantic and a complete sucker for sad movies. Of course my all-time favourite (get ready for the "chehs") is this old Chinese movie called η» ηδΉε. Yes - that's the one with London as a backdrop. That's the one with Leon in the movie. Yes yes...that's the one!
There's only 2 people in this world that guessed correctly when asked what they thought my fav. movie was(what are the chances?). One acted in the movie (eew!) and one was given a big clue cos I wanted the said person to guess correctly you see ...
Oh well - sometimes I think that the movie's so unrealistic and so so old-fashioned. But I guess it's just one those movies that reminded me of the times when things were so simple (in my life), when everything in my life was very clear and defined and so totally uncomplicated.
The most worrying thing was the A levels. That was it really.
Those were happy times. In fact, I relived some of those happy memories this weekend. I bumped into an old college friend in one of the bars. (the bar was hideous) It's unbelievable that after 10 years (omg! It is 10 years) that the life you left behind, creeps back and everything just seemed so familiar once again. Student Lounge, class bench, econs lecture..haha....
I did not particularly knew A well when we were in JC. Just that when you hear a familiar voice, a familiar mannerism, things are just so much more comfortable. Again, it's all to do with the fact that we are creatures that prefer things we know better.
Having said that, someone unfamiliar can also be familiar. And can be close at heart. Only if we allow ourselves to open up, to let down those boundaries. Maybe you'll discover that the world outside of your own might be very intimidating, or you might get lucky and find out that there is actually someone out there that cares!
LIFE IS GOOD AGAIN...FOR NOW...
p/s: NONO! I dont like A...for the benefit of all my guessing friends! It's the said person...or is it not?

your blog is interesting... I love banana bread... so true if only we opened up ourselves. we would find that there is so many people out there that care for us...
Babes, life is what you make of it...it's hard sometimes, but you've gotta live it on your feet! =)
i care, babe. i think keeping things simple in life in a city is an art of happiness: when there is so many temptations/distraction/different circle of friends/choices...It is a blessing when u can just choose to see/meet friends that actually care...and dont hv to push yourself to go to 'social' function..anyway, i cant wait to see u in HK!
