I finally watched "Secret" yesterday after hearing so much about it from LiShan, Angie and most of all Si Rachel Yang Tak Boleh Stop Ber-Babbling.
My jaw dropped twice during the movie.
First was when Jay Chou (the obvious reason why the only people who recommended the movie to me were estrogen saturated females) was playing the adapted version of Chopin's Waltz. FUYOH! the hands flying here and there, the fingers moving with such elegance very YENG leh!
I decided dy, next time if i have a son im gonna drag his lil butt for piano lessons so all the lil girls will swoon over my handsome boy boy *beams*. He will be a normal naughty lil boy by day, then by night he will transform to this elegant gentleman by a grand piano, wow. Never mind that his dear old mother after years of piano classes can only play "Doe a Dear" and "Chopsticks".
Then... if i have a girl, i will drag her screaming lil butt to drum or guitar classes. So when some cheeky boy tries to serenade her and steal her heart away with "More Than Words" on a acoustic guitar she can pick up her own guitar and challenge him back! Haha take that, Casanova! My daughter the Rocker Chic!
Sounds like a little bit of role reversal there, guys playing piano and girls strumming guitars, but its just a thought haha.
Hehehehehe my children are going to be so miserable under my reign!
Ok back to the movie.
The second and last time my jaw dropped was at the ending.
I couldnt believe it lar, after all that drama hor i was expecting a more explosive or juicy "mimi" (means Secret in mandrin). I thought the so called BIG Secret wasnt so great lor... Haih.. make me so curious for nothing only...
Tell you something ah.. I also have a "mimi" to share.
I counted the number of steps from my studyroom to the kitchen fridge :20
So I'm going to close my eyes and walk there now, and the first thing i see when i open my eyes will be my true love : Ham Sandwich.
Dont think you will understand my "mimi" if u didnt watch the movie tho.
Gah..craving for a good movie. NOT craving for the upcoming exams.

I hate renovations
I AM GOING CRAZY!
Every morning i wake up to the melodious sounds of drills *dRrrRrrrrRrrill*
Then i have my lunch while tapping to the exotic sounds of hammers on nails *knock knock*
Evening tea is serenaded by the Grand Orchestra featuring a literally mind blowing fusion of everything and anything they can whip up! Literally mind blowing because i feel like my brain has the consistency of an oreo cheese cake left in the car for too long, i know because I've seen an oreo cheese cake being left in a car for too long before.
I have a theory...if i just shake my head a lil i will hear the remnants of my brain sloshing inside my skull.
*nod up, nod down, nod sideways*
Yup, its true. its sloshing.
Argh..these subang people ah... of all times to have your house renovated why now? Why during my holidays?
Wait... I think they've stoped. =)
Aaaahh... nice to hear myself think again...
I remember we had a lecture on the adverse effects of noise polution, there was stress, hypertension, fatigue hmm... was depression on the list?
GaAaaaaAaah they are at it AGAIN.
Will this madness ever end? What i would do to be in a quiet library right now.
Thou shall love thy neighbours. Thou shall love thy neighbours. Thou shall love thy neighbours. Thou shall love thy neighbours. Thou shall love thy neighbours. Thou shall love thy neighbours.
Thou shall love thy neighbours. Thou shall love thy neighbours. Thou shall love thy neighbours.
THoU ssSshAAaLL lOooOVE ThhHhyy neigHhhHBBoourSSssssss
*puts on earmuffs*

Possibilities
Words = truth
Smiles = happiness
Hugs = affection
Running = escape
Flying = freedom
Sleeping = rest
Shadows = darkness
Candles = light
I beg to differ.
Sometimes people look at you and with the *snap* of their fingers think they have you figured out. In their minds is already a rough sketch of you, what type of person you are, what kind of laugh you have, what kind of humor you posses, how well read you are, how capable you are of taking care of yourself, and sometimes… even how far you will ever go in life.
And if we are not careful, we might just find ourselves molding our very person to fit their idea of us. We turn that sketch of theirs into a full blown Picasso Oil Painting complete with a matching frame.
Don’t let anyone tell you what they expected of you. Tell them you are going to paint your own portraits from now on.
Words = excuses
Smiles = camouflage
Hugs = suffocating
Running = fear
Flying = searching
Shadows = faithful company
Candles = harsh exposure
Do consider the possibilities

In the middle of the night
It is 2.30 in the morning and the plan was to just browse a few more sites before going off early to bed to get shut eye for tomorrow's morning service.
But somehow everywhere blog i visit, the central theme has been FOOD. Either recipies, new restaurants to try or reunion dinners...
Then a sudden realization hits me: I dont want a big house in the future anymore, because as it is, it is already such a pain to leave my room go downstairs to satisfy my hunger pangs.
Gonna go roll about and decide whether or not to make that long journey now.
...roti kosong would be good at a time like this.

Of bad luck & superheroes.
Mark it on your calanders, October the 5th and 6th are taboo dates!
Dont get that hair cut, dont cross the road, dont try a new dish, better yet dont even leave your house.
Why you ask?
I dont actually believe in bad luck but the events of the 2 days are just too funny to not be paranoid about. Let me tell you a true story....
Once upon a time, in the far away kingdom of IMU Bukit Jalil a young Denise slept through both her evening lectures despite the title of the lectures being "Human Sexuality" and "Reproductive Hormones", wasting 2 hours of her precious life. Amidst the doodling and attempts to pinch herself awake, she received an sms from Li Shan reading:
"Stop oggling at hot guys... I wanna eat french fries" (notice how it rhymes? and she only said that cos that is what SHE does in class, i dont "oggle")
1. But as Li Shan was stampeding like themost graceful of elephants out of IMU, the sole of her shoes partially tore off, giving it the most untastefull flapping-mouth look. *flap flap flippidy flap* That was how she had to walk around for the rest of the day #bad-luck-strikes-1#
Ok..nevermind, it sounds quite normal what to spoil your shoe right?... Nothing too weird about it so far...
After makan, we decide to go midvalley to find a pair new and hopefuly indistructable shoes. (#bad-luck-for Hazwan# ) And sidetracking, I'm starting to realise that 'shoes' have been playing a pretty big role in my life these past few days, wonder if its a sign?
It took guts of steel to even dare think of driving to midvalley because although i knew how to GET THERE, i had no idea how to GET BACK. The last time we drove there, we went all the way to subang jaya just to take the super expensive Kesas highway back to bukit jalil. But nevermind, with these 3 people the motto is "Chill 1st la, later oni crack head and die" OR "Denise stop your whinning and worrying, we are happening people who dont care if we end up standed in the middle of nowhere with no petrol to fill our car with."
2/3. I couldnt reach the ticket machine from the window of my car #bad-luck-strikes-2# After rounding the car park the zillionth time, my super lazer eyes spot a car coming out of it's lot, my super fast reflex was to turn right into the lane.... BUT OUT OF NO WHERE THIS VAN COMES INTO A ONE WAY LANE AND ZOOMS INTO MY LOT! My jaw literally fell and i almost died of shock, i think i spotted the people in the other cars laughing at our reaction leh... #bad-luck-strikes-3#
4. Our mission was to find a pair of shoes. We found ONE, but it was the last pair and the once white shoe might as well just be a member from The Simsons. Then we found ANOTHER, one she REALLY really liked, but (there always has to be a but) all their shoes even the new ones from the box were wrinkled with lines. #bad-luck-strikes-4#
5. OkaAaay... So we didnt get the shoes, and one shop even shoOoed us away from it's entrance because it was closing time, but i could not give up! We couldnt have driven all the wat there and stress through the parking system to go home with nothing. We had to watch a movie! Yes yes a movie would certainly make the trip more worthwhile. In one sentence: The only decent show left to watch was "Chuck & Larry", we lined up, only the front 2 rows were left, we were told to come back later when the Reserved seats would be given out. #bad-luck-strike-5#
6. To pass the time before we started lining up again for the reserved seats, we played photohunt. To make a painfull story short: We lost 3 games JUST BECAUSE WE COULDNT PRESS THE CLUE BUTTON ON TIME. Not that we couldnt find the answers you know, we still had 3 clues left and we wanted to use the clues. But they were in the form of a magnifying glass, so we press the round glass part of it mah, mana tahu you are supposed to press on the tiny HANDLE to make it work! And the vicious cycle actually repeated itself THREE TIMES. #bad-luck-strike-6#
7. By the time we finish photohunt, we realise the que for the movie was way too long. #bad-luck-strikes-7#
8. Lets just go back to Bukit Jalil where it is safe and free of bad luck. With trusty instructions from Chris, Kee, and some bits and pieces i remembered from Angelene, we made our journey.
Follow Old Klang road to leave Midvalley (pats self on back) --> turns our prematuredly to Jalan Kuchai Lama when we were supposed to go straight (kicks self on the butt) --> ends up at food court --> luckily Superhero-SHAN got lost there before (wow an actual benefit from getting lost) and was able to lead us out --> mamak (to whine and complain about our lack of luck that night) #bad-luck-strikes-8#
9. Arriving at the mamak we discover the huge tv screen was not there #bad-luck-strike-9#
10/11. After parking the car at Vista, Li Shan couldnt find her phone in my car. #bad-luck-strikes10#. I call her phone so we can follow the ringing sound, her phone is out of battery #bad-luck strikes-11#. The incredible search of the maroon wira begins! Lukily Superhero-HAZ finds it at the side door of the passangers seat.
We go to our respective apartments deciding that after such a stressfull night we were going to wash up and settle for a nice DVD.
12. There is the awfUl sMelL of VoMit as i pass the corridor leading to my apartment. #bad-luck-strikes-12#
13. While getting ready to bathe Hazwan calls "Err... Lishan cant find her house keys, we are coming up to get your car keys now ya" #bad-luck-stikes-13#. Walk paSs vOmIt sMeLL again to go car, search of the maroon wira round2. The keys were nowhere to be found. Lukily Superhero-SUYIN said " Li Shan, didnt you come to my place this morning to check PBL?"
To which a nervously chuckling Li Shan replied " *gasp* ya! and I... I used my keys to open your front door!"
PaSs VoMiT sMelL yet again to check at my apartment. Yes the keys were found.
All these events took place in the short span of time between 7pm 5th October to early-in-the-morning 6th October 2007.
And this evening (6th October) as we waited for a lift, the lift that arrived had no working lights.
Now you tell me, am I being paranoid? =P
*boo* hehehe...
