第三话： 失去

最近，一个茫然脆弱的声音冷不防的问自己：

你在害怕失去什么？ 失去你最心爱的洋娃娃； 失去你已得不到的一段初恋； 失去你已失去的纯真笑容...

在一点一滴的失去当中，你自以为拥有的，不过是一具面目全非的青春尸骸罢了...

I feel like watching this drama all over again. Or Mars.

Nothing much in particular, just that I watched the first episode of Season 2 of Gossip Girl. YAY. (:

( xoxo )

LOL. Can't wait for the next episode! (: And I guess you can tell that I love Blair. Haha.

Just now, I caught the 10pm show, 一切完美 on Channel U. I thought it was not bad for a first episode.

I caught a little of the 9pm show,  球爱大战 on Channel 8 (it just started showing). I also thought it was not too bad. (Though Joanne Peh + Dawn Yeoh = bleahhhh)

Then, on the rare occasions that I managed to catch snippets here and there of the 7pm show, 心花朵朵开 on Channel 8, I LOL-ed at some parts. (Though I did cringe at some parts because of crappy and cheesy dialogue/bad acting/lame plot/Zhang Yaodong's pseudo ABC accent. But that's considered okay because it's a Mediacorp family drama. You're actually expected to cringe at those parts, I think.)

Is it because:
1) I AM MAD.
2) My expectations of Mediacorp dramas have lowered.
3) Their dramas are really better already. (Wow! Kind of happy for them if this is the case.)
4) Nothing to watch online except FTLY makes me watch anything.
5) All of the above.

I really hope it's not the first option. HAHAHA.

You might have realised by now, whenever I can't think of a subject I'll put 'Random #'. LOL. Okay, just thought you might want to know. /:

Just now, I saw a girl whose pants was pulled down and shirt flipped up, blowing kisses at everyone who passed by her. Like every guy's dream scenario right!

Except that she was a small kid. In the toilet. 'Cause the maid or whoever that is was...I don't know...helping her wear diapers?? I didn't see properly. LOL. I think its so cute that she was totally oblivious to the fact that she was not dressed properly and yet she still smiled and blew kisses at me happily when I walked past to go into the toilet cubicle. So innocent. Its almost like Eve before she bit into that forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge...and our adulthood resembling the consequences..... Okay okay I'll stop, strange analogy. LOL.

First session of tuition went fine! I think. Though I found it a little difficult to explain grammar. I think I need to revise a bit. Hahaha. I am determined to improve that boy's English.

And I've been listening to the so-called "Ken's song" from Proposal Daisakusen. Yes, I found the song! I love it. This is the translated lyrics, courtesy of DramaWiki, LOL.

( chiisana koi no uta )

I have no idea what's the translated title of the song though. -.- HAHAHA.

On a side note, actually, I have no idea why I love that drama. I just really enjoyed it. Maybe its the dialogue, maybe its the touching scenes. Maybe its the strong friendship, maybe its the whole premise of it. Maybe its Ken's "Hallelujah Chance!", maybe its Yamashita Tomohisa's good looks. Most likely its everything. LOL. But I can't exactly pinpoint exactly what is it that I really like.

Anyway, now, thanks to enacting, I have a new song on repeat! (: Yay.

This week has been very slack. LOL. I can finally slack without feeling guilty about it, since exams are over and I have alot of time to spare and I haven't find a job and I'm still not sick of my sloth-like life yet.


Further proof that I have plenty of time, I finished Proposal Daisakusen. ("Hallelujah Chance!") I know I'm slow and that this show has been for some time and that many people have watched it already...But I rarely have the motivation to start on new dramas unless I'm certain I have plenty of time, like now! I love the drama and OMG the main guy is super CUTE please. (: And does anybody know the title of the song that played from Ken's cd and later, some tape?? Okay I don't know if you all even know what I'm talking about. Hahaha. Because I can't get enough of that guy, I've started on Nobuta Wo Produce. LOL. And I realised that of all the Japanese dramas that I've seen, I liked most of them. There isn't one Jdrama that I start and stop halfway without completing. And sometimes I wish I can understand what they're saying without relying on the subtitles. Sigh.

I had some thoughts after the dinner with XJ and the rest on Thursday, but I decided my drama was more important. LOL. So now, I'm kinda lazy to blog out my thoughts already. Oh well. I'll do it when the feeling strikes again.

And the drama that made me neglect all other possible things to do was 爱杀17/Bump Off Lover. Shit its good, I tell you! For the first time ever, I finished a drama in 3 days. Non-stop watching. All 14 episodes. This is usually impossible because I am a lazy person by nature, and 2 or 3 episodes in a day is really my maximum. Now I can tell you my highest record is now 8 episodes in a day (Friday). LOL. I think I almost went blind from staring at the screen. Its super different from the usual taiwanese dramas because its a freaking murder mystery. Somebody please watch it so that I can rave to you. Hahaha. I guess it doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to guess who was the murderer after a few episodes in, but I love the way all the secrets and mystery unfolded. I was seriously like, 'OMG I must continue this' one episode after another, which frankly speaking, very few dramas have the same effect. 张韶涵/Angela Zhang so deserved a Best Actress award for this. Stupid dramas like 公主小妹/Romantic Princess didn't do her justice at all. And you can see her improvement from MVP情人. The other cast members were good too. I'm glad I watched it without reading the synopsis or knowing what's going to happen. Its more shiok that way when everything gets revealed and answered later on.

Oh dinner on Thursday with the girls was at a small restaurant/cafe/bar at Dhoby Gaut, opposite Paradiz Centre. Its called Alps Cafe. VERY reasonable pricing, food was not bad and super friendly and attentive staff. Thumbs up for the service! (: It would be a good place for a cosy, quiet dinner because of its ambience, if not for the one or two groups of people who made a hell lot of noise, punctuated by hokkien expletives. It would have been funny because they contrasted with the classy setting, but they disturbed my dinner...so...oh well. LOL. Also, they had this karaoke system in which people can sing if they want to, and my only gripe is that they kept it on ALL THE TIME. Even when nobody is singing so its like loud radio non-stop. Since the waitress is like openly in love with 183 Club, annoying 183 Club songs came on a few times (Okay okay, only twice I think, but still!). Hahaha. I think they should have switched the thing off when nobody wants to sing, so that we don't have to talk louder. And by reasonable pricing, I really meant reasonable. For a main course, soup, dessert, plus another chocolate fondue, GST and service charges, all of us split the bill equally and it came up to about 20 dollars per person. I wouldn't mind going back a second time. (:

Before I forget,
HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY, SHU LIAN! I don't think that girl will read this, but I just thought I should still wish her happy birthday here. Miss her loads! Its strange how we can always just easily catch up even though we only meet once in months, during holidays. LOL.

Yay. Harold & Kumar on Monday. (: Cannot wait.

YAY I am finally done with my HL205 essay! Who would have known that keeping your essay to 900 words is so much more difficult than trying to hit 2000 words. I guess we're so used to smoking and crapping that its difficult to use our words economically.

Schedule for this week:
Monday: prepare for HW111 presentation with Nadifa.
Tuesday: prepare for my HL103 presentation on Wednesday.
Wednesday to Friday: Decide what the hell I want to do for HL103 essay and plan it out.
Weekend: Start working on it.

Hmm I haven't take into account that I have to watch The Guru (HL211 film for this week) and do my readings for HL105 and HL205. I'm guessing I'll be quite behind for my readings. Sigh.

Oh and I finally watched the last episode of 斗牛, 要不要. OMG its so ridiculous. Its the kind that makes you WTF throughout that entire episode. But in a funny way. I kept laughing out loud. Seriously man. Everyone should just watch that last episode for the sake of seeing how WTF it is. Its hilarious.



Okay, finally a day that I'm going to sleep before 2am. YAY. (:

No, more like, save MEDIACORP DRAMAS. The scripts are like getting from bad to worse, and I arrived at this very smart conclusion after hearing the dialogue of the 7pm drama during dinner time today. Isn't it a remake of a previous Channel 8 drama? How come they sound even cheesier than the previous one? Maybe its the actors/actresses. But anyway it was like super painful to hear/watch. Oh the 9pm one, however, was slightly better. It was so ridiculous that it was hilarious. I would like to think that the humour is intentional. Haha. 

Returning back to the 7pm drama, it was starring Dawn Yeoh. Dawn Yeoh is so annoying. Like, sibeh annoying. (HAHAHA. Sorry, I was waiting for an opportunity to use the word 'sibeh'. That word cracks me up.) Seeing her act, I just want to roll my eyes. Like what the article in 8days said, her roles seemed to be related to disabilities. LOL. But the thing about her is that, no matter what she's supposed to be acting as, she seems to be having the same personality/character. I hope her fans won't take offense. But her fans should be like her right? All cute and demure, I'm sure they won't come after me. (: 

And just now seeing her on screen, reminds me of this video that I chanced upon quite some time ago when I was blog-surfing. 

WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK. SHE IS TOO KIAM PAK FOR HER OWN GOOD.
THAT LAST ACTION OF HERS MADE ME LOL AND GAVE ME THE GOOSEBUMPS AT THE SAME TIME.
AND A QUESTION AFTER WATCHING THAT: ISN'T DAWN YEOH LOCAL??? Forgive my ignorance, I genuinely want to know. 'Cause her English doesn't sound very local right? There's like some weird accent that I can't place. Hmm. 

On a side note, I can't stop listening to the few songs that I have of Juno's soundtrack. LOL. I still don't have the first song though. ):


 

Last night, I went home because I couldn't stand having a dead phone. My charger in hall spoilt, and the battery in my phone was totally non-existent. I wanted to study, but wasn't in the mood. So I decided to watch the tw drama that my sister bought, 斗牛 要不要. The one starring Hebe and Mike He. After catching 2 episodes (Ep 4 and 5, since I watched till Ep 3 on youtube previously), I think I can conclude safely as to what MAKES a taiwanese drama.

I haven't done any reading yesterday and today. So I shall stop surfing the net.

P.S: Okay I think only Nat and Janesa will know what I'm talking about in this entry. Haha.

Edit: I think I sound like I hate tw dramas. LOL. No lah. They're actually mindless entertainment. (: I meant that in a good way. And they are not all cliches. Occasionally, there are slightly different ones like 战神 and 斗鱼, which I think are quite good, I like them. (: Despite them being cliches, I also like WZBQW, AQMFS and ISWAK 1 & 2. They're not all that bad. The bad ones are really bad though. OMG 恶女阿楚.
