Way Back Into Love

After watching the trailer of The Holiday twice, it was a much anticipated movie plus another attempt of wearing cupid’s dress, with a lil less involvement this time, since I politely excused myself from dinner and stop brightly lighting up the atmosphere, for once!

Back to the show, it was a pleasant surprise and surpassed my expectation as without much idea, thinking it would be another Chick flick, it turned out to be excellently/beautifully scripted, containing very nice lines, with warm and heartfelt chemistry. It was a joy to see how Jude Law and Cameron Diaz passionately interacts, besides, who can resist Cameron’s wide sunshine smile?? And how Jack Black being charmingly funny actually without his usual slapstick acts, and how the spineless newspaper writer Kate Winslet finally got over her Bridget Jone’s symptoms. Plus, Surrey where the breathtaking scenery at one of the houses filmed is no question about the strong affinity in me since it’s where my Masters degree was granted.
I guess.. all in all The Holiday is for us who like to suspend reality (for a long long time) and it’ll be a miracle to jolly well try and pull me back down to earth!!

A week later, out of boredom, Music & Lyrics was a spontaneous choice being a sucker for romantic comedies. Never felt more like a minority as I was likely the only Chinese walking around the mall given it’s the Chinese New Year’s Eve’s eve. Felt bizarre.

The movie is not much popping going on if you ask me. And I can’t feel any of the chemistry or whatsoever between the two. Hugh Grant, is still better in Love Actually and About A Boy, for at least he was more moving. But, credits to him singing all the songs himself, really not bad at all.

Though I do like the title of the song: ‘Way Back Into Love’, as many simply goes lost along the way, for I am clearly one of them.

Orchestrated 1 Year Wiser Party

marking the 31st year of Raf’s life outside the womb.. A specially orchestrated occasion was put together by sweet and thoughtful Lina first with pretty lilies and sweet chocoloates. Then, the aperitive catering from Banana Café to feed the bunch of hungry ghosts. After the feast in front of the last episode of Amazing Race laughing upon all the holding hands scenes of the proud Malaysian winner, we were given crayons of green, red and yellow… to doodle on our faces… and later were splitted into groups by colours, to play a game that gave a chance for many to discover hidden talents of acting.. followed by blindfold pinata game. pictures paints a thousand words… here it comes..

Heroes

Staying home being a couch potato for 2 hours straight til I get tired has soon become a luxury, given the context of my overloaded work stress, like someone is giving me a big fat jibe on my cheeks. For a change, glad that couch potato is a verb today, coz I incidentally caught the 1st episode of Heroes. Wuhoooooooo !! Tim Kring (creator/writer) I just fell in love with ya! A new found fav tv series amongst CSI and Table for Three. It’s all about the chronicles of normal people discovering about their extraordinary abilities. 1 gifted artist predicts the future by expressing it in his drawings unconsciously, 1 guy nurse and his brother both can fly, 1 Japanese is a time machine (like Doraemon), 1 beautiful teenage cheerleader has a bullet proof indestructible body, 1 gorgeous single mum sees the other side of herself through the mirror image that helps her through rough times, and another 1 whose a genetic profession who knows it all the secrets from his father's research. All of that only on the 1st episode. I can’t wait for more. There’s a shadow, there’s a light that is following and leading them to knowing they’re special. Nothing more fascinating than self-discovery, as their paths become clear. Yes it’s a fiction. Question is where’s MY shadow, where’s MY light to show me who I am, what I am and what I want. When is MY path becoming clear.. it’s still illusive for the time being.

Talking about extraordinary ability, I think JJ/Rudy somewhat has the special telepathic ability. They played ‘Bad Day’ this morning… as cheesy as it could be, it was actually like every word Daniel Powter has to say, is for me. (Between, I love the mtv). And I listened to his every word as it depressed me more… thank goodness I arrived at the office, and the guards gave me a big heartwarming smile and a wave that brightened my day. As easy as breaking an egg it is to please me, just gimme a smile.

1 month has passed at a blink of an eye in 2007. laying on the bed in exhaustion, I wondered, what have I really achieved. The miserable utter truth is, NOTHING but work. Insignificant work that is. OK the best thing I’ve done is probably adopting a Lebanese child via worldvision, but that’s merely writing a cheque, effortlessly.

I gota start discovering what the next 11 months is in for me. Maybe if I watch more of Heroes, I’ll see some light… can I be part of the Heroes network? perhaps i could discover an ability to scuba dive without the oxygen tank, or i could grasp a shield of protection during office wars, how about making all the traffic disappear during peak hours? or perhaps all i need is more time?? ability to prolong the clock ticking? kakaaa.. gullible as it may seem.. it’s escapism I suppose. So, before December hits and if the answer to that question doesn’t change, promise me you’ll fucking kick my ass. Hard ! like real HARD !!
