Coolness

It is amazing how small this world can be. Yesterday night, I was telling you about the Israeli love story and ok...sidetracking here a bit, it was the SHORTEST love story I have ever watched. Seriously short. I dont know if they were trying to say that if we fall in love so quickly, we can fall out of love so quickly also and then patch back that fast too. Hrm.

Oh yah the small world. I was reading through the comments for the heck of it and one of them was like commenting how he or she came from one of the countries in Asia which is conservative and only showed Brokeback Mountain (a gay themed love story) on the big screen. And then I was thinking....MUST be Singapore. And then true enough! When I clicked on the username which led to the profile, he or she IS from Singapore.

Oh, and that's not all. This 24 yr old person kinda creeped me out because apparently, the channels that this person subscribed to are mostly the same that I have subscribed to also or have watched a few times. Im like..'huh?!' And then this person apparently have also watched almost the same clips that I had watched which included films posted by independent film producers or compilation of clips from...get this...the soap dramas that I have watched or still currently watching.

Crazy or what?!! I know ure thinking...pfft.....come on, it's youtube...you're not the only one. But to know someone who basically shared the same taste on youtube is hard to find especially in your own country. Oh my Gawd. If we ever met or talk to each other, we will be busy comparing notes. I will be like..'hey did u see that latest clip from As the World Turns? What the heck was Luke doing?' and the person would say...'Yah.....why would he do such a thing..' Coolness, eh? And we would also share tidbits about the independent films that we have watched on youtube which I find out that this person have also watched The Bubble from a certain Israeli film producer and commented about this other film from another foreign producer that we should look out for.

Another tidbit that I can share with this person is that well....Brokeback Mountain will not be the only gay themed film that has shown in Singapore in the coming future. Early next year they will be releasing this biopic movie called Milk starring Sean Penn and James Franco among the number of actors about a slain Gay Rights activist and politician in the late 70s. 

To whoever you are.....nice to know someone watches international soap dramas like me too!

Being a Teacher isn't Easy

I work with teachers but I'm not a teacher. I actually work in the admin department and I like my job though sometimes it can be challenging especially when I feel swarmed by it. Or when my boss keeps calling me for work related stuffs especially when she is doing the approval for payment or vetting through. So, the headache. Anyway, I can honestly say most teachers are really nice though some are really driving me up the wall. That or they are just simply aint nice but then, it is also because of their personality. But as teachers, they are really dedicated. I also deal with parents and honestly, they can be demanding and very irritating and they are not scared of the higher authority in school. To them, they are being like that all because they care for their children but they are overbearing as if they don't let their children make mistakes and learn. Plus, whatever their children said, they believe every bit of their story though they are not there to see for themselves an...

A Reminder to the Living

Recently, we lost our former President when he passed away at the age of 92. He was known to have his heart for the people although those who worked closely with him couldn't actually picture him as that for he was a taskmaster when it came to work. He did his own narratives and do the best that he could as he knew where he came from and wanted to make good out of his life.  He showed that the circumstances that we are in can't stop us from going far in life. We should continue to focus on our actions, has strong dedication and when things get difficult, look at the bigger picture and understand why we are here. Ultimately, we should all be working towards the purpose we have in mind which makes things easier to cope. Thank you for helping the Singaporeans especially those who needed help most. You would always be the people's President. On the other spectrum, a young child had also lost his life. A few of my colleagues witnessed the events which unfolded in front of...

Our First Group Meeting After Graduation

It has been a long time coming since the last time we met was on Graduation Day although I did meet up with 3 of them quite recently for a birthday celebration. I somehow never seem to miss out on any of the gatherings including the time when we went to a coffee shop after our stressful Econs exam papers. Still don't know how we survived that miraculously..haha.. Anyway, I've always been a silent supporter to this friendly bunch of people who always make me feel inclusive knowing that I am a lady of few words, haha.  We went to this restaurant called PU3 and although the service staff should really write down orders so that we don't always have to remind them that two of our drinks had not arrived get our orders wrong. I mean it's for their customers' benefit and also their own so that they don' undercharge their customers. Just saying. They serve Nasi Ambeng served in a big dulang or tray that is meant to be eaten by 2, 4 or 6 people which is m...
