A person often meets his destiny.. on the road he took to avoid it. -Jean de La Fontaine/

"A Saint once decreed that a man must agree to a woman's proposal today. Give me a sign whether to meet me at eight, at the same place you sit and fulfill the tradition of February 29.."

The Leap Years was definitely worth the watch! It's the first movie that I really want to blog about in so long. Plot isn't as cliched as I'd expected it to be. Anyway, this possibly doesn't apply to everyone, but it was in essence very, very romantic to me. <3> And on a more personal note, it touched my dreamer/romanticist side. (haha) Made me ask myself if I could/have ever/will ever experience a love this strong that would make me wait 4 whole years just for that one meeting? haha. I think it's just a thin line between the silly or a love that's potently strong. 4 years is afterall a long time. A part let-down however, was that the hint to the twist in the plot came too early. Still, I didn't expect the ending.

Main leads were superb! Casting was good. Everingham's synonymous for charming, charming, charming. This time, it's a very different portrayal of him as compared to his role in Shutter (shudders- haha). And to put simply, Li-Lin is gorgeous :) A simple kind of beauty. There's no one quite like her around. Loved the genuinity of the relationship she shared with her mom too; and as for some of the abstract emotions -she managed to pull them off so effortlessly. Acting was really commendable on her part. Great supporting cast too; esp V.lopez (one of Li-lin's Sex-in-the-City-like bff) and Joan Chen- still very attractive despite her age. There's this aura and woman-ness about her. Quite undescribable. (or forgive my lack of vocab?) Jason, Tracy Tan, Qi YW and Nadya were reall hotties too. haha yum :)

Anyway following the alarm that has been sounded nation-wide on the escaped extremist and having seen so much of his pictures.. I got abit anxious today. Two malay men were sitting beside me at the bus-stop. Suicide-bomber alert? From time to time I'ld glance over to see if one of them was trying to activate some kind of bomb with his phone. I mean what if he was pretending to be tech-unsavvy but actually has this bomb thing in the bagpack he had with it that's connected somehow to his phone- just waiting for that signal from his BOSS to activate. WHO KNOWS, RIGHT?

tried to capture the image of my blown up body (OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG) in my mind.. and all that pain in that instant(OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG) ....then my bus came. and i hop-ped on. and.. yeah HAHA end of story. -_- called jo to tell him about it and i know he thinks it's silly. And so it was. HAHA. anyway the newspaper reported that they've received at least 330 leads abt S. Of course they're in top confidentiality but with so many leads.... there should be some kind of erm.. advancement in the case shouldn't there be? Oooh and I was thinking it would be EXCITING if I were in the army, since ground troops are mobilised. Hunting someone this dangerous down. Anyway, I would think he has a fake mole or something by now.... and the most dangerous place could actually be the safest place..so.

ANYWAY I HAD ANOTHER NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE TODAY. I NEARLY LOST MY PHONE!!! MY GOODNESS. thanks to jared and weijun!!!!!! thanks you guys. haha!!! the third near-death experience was psych test. but i shalln't go on about it. the gradebook will do all the talking.

Another shock : Had a dental checkup today again at HPB.. and lo and behold during my xray for wisdom teeth, there's this ADULT EXTRA ALIEN TOOTH growing randomly somewhere in my gum. like embedded inside. Too dangerous to take out for now because it'll definitely affect my nerves and the other teeth. SO SAD :( seriously? and then i reached hall to find out I'm not the only one with this anomaly.)

can't say much for now but this view is something I'm gonna miss.

Through O levels, A levels, and part of Uni exams.

I can't explain how big a change this is for me..

but life goes on.

And this is The Hamster.

I have a feeling it doesn't really want to get to know me

HAHA even played dead when I tried to let it make friends with my dog.

Should see the vid some time.

Sunday was fun. Apologise is such an apt song ! So yeah coming up with simple dance steps to it with Althea was fun; but not half as much as seeing some of the kids dance to it haha. emofied. haha.

And yes the issue about Papabear(haha) and I (all the asking). Now, we're meeting mostly on sundays in church , if on weekdays- it's a bogusbonus. Army and Uni and Hall altogether really is a good grounds for means of testing. I never thought all these would pose a problem but they did and I'm glad they did.

Someone said I'm crazy when i told her we've broken up but we're already engaged and we're gonna get married. Haha yeah this is the first time i'm actually talking about it here and yes i know it sounds insane. It was this silly lil grassy engagement thing by the beach. haha. he still has the rings he fashioned. And, this whole thing dated only about a year back? But marriage- we've talked about this couple of times, kind of know it deep down.The break is necessary to sort things out slow, on a low-anxiety level. It's mainly because some months, especially those packed with activities and exams are just insanely hectic and to be able to call him on my cell while he's in camp is already very much a blessing in itself.

It definitely takes time to iron certain things out. Like how he's decided to call our son Leonardo when I think there're better names around haha. NO LA NOT TRIVIAL STUFF LIKE THAT -_-. So anyway the next time we get back together, it'll probably be a few years from now. But final, to forever. Our wedding place has been decided OKAY albeit too early and I know again this all sounds so crazy. And I can't say it all here but the road to getting the parents' acceptance , or specifically my parents' was an ardous one. And i'm so proud of him that on Sunday my mom even told me to get married next year and register for a flat so she can buy it for us. HAHA!! even crazily wants to sponsor his uni education! A year before, can't imagine anything near this man. Those few months were such a struggle. Really. But i guess we learn to cherish most the things we fight the hardest for. oooh and a sidenote it's going to be so much fun watching him dance with the rest of the kids in church haha.

Sorry it's been such a long post. Some things have been kept in the heart for a while and it was good to finally share with whoeveryouare/fillintheblanks.
