surrounded by emptiness

In a world where everything is equated to money, even love, should mere mortals,including me, believe in hope or faith anymore?

Oh! Faith! People of the world, please cry out with me!

I was strangely and greatly perturbed after reading this certain trashy article while doing No. 2 in the toilet the other day. Many single guys out there have been posed the question, ” Would you give up love for fame, wealth and power?” As expected, none of them would ever give up love for anything else. I’m sorry but maybe I’d have more respect for you if you’d answered honestly. I dare bet my last 5 cents in my pocket that there will be at least one who would give up love for something else more tangible. Oops, maybe I’m the only one who will give ‘it’ up. But one thing is for sure, I don’t ever dare risk giving a lot, because I know I’d risk losing a lot and that will be one of the worst feelings ever.

 Imagine a hopeless romantic who gives up his everything for love and settles in a cosy apartment ( read: small apartments where you need to climb up 7 flights of stairs and hookers roam the streets) and supposedly his girl loves him as much as he loves her. As time goes by, they have kids. Their family grows in inverse proportions to their apartments and bank accounts. Are you one hundred percent sure they’ll still be as contented as before? Will what they once thought as love continue to stay the same?  This reminds me of the phrase that a friend taught me, l’amour passioné – passionate love. I often wonder how long that phase in one marriage becomes obsolete. What makes the husband and wife continuing on the life journey is probably their kids, the lifebuoy in their marriage, the only reason for their sustained existence. They can mean joy, responsibility or burden/obstacles that the couple can’t overcome to reach the path of freedom – the often heard D word, divorce. Wait, it’s not  a taboo anymore just in case you wonder. But the questions posed here is, ” Are you game for it? Are you absolutely ready to receive sympathy/pity from us? Will you be able to find back the faith in love once again?”

This reminds me once again about this radion show on Class 95 FM called Love Confidential, where listeners can call in and confess all their secrets about love, as the show’s name suggests. I wonder if the show still exists. I used to listen to it during the A level period late at night on a random basis. It was a silly show because more often than not, all the letters were so immature and childish. I once thought, ‘ Since when secondary school ah lians and bengs listen to Class 95 and complain about their boyfriends’ hairstyles?’. Skip to the main story, on one particular night, the DJ read the last letter of the day ( purposely or not, I don’t have an effing clue). It went something like this, ” I’m a married woman in my 40s and have two kids and a perfect husband whom I once respected. Recently, I found out about his affair with another lady in the same company (I can’t remember how). I was right outside his closed office one night and sms-ed him about his whereabouts. He replied that he’s working overtime and will spend the night at the office. I felt scared and sad at the same time. I still love my kids and my husband (WTF!) very much. Should I close both of my eyes and pretend nothing is going on. I’m afraid of not being able to be a single mom. The shame while telling my mother about my cheating husband. But I can’t continue because this is against my principles and I still love him. Please give me the strength to hold on my marriage. “  There you go, mortals,especially the hopeless/helpless romantic out there who is on the constant search for Mr. and Ms. Right and so afraid you can’t find the one  at the end of the day.The radio DJ didn’t give out any particular advice and nobody can ever give out any sound advice to her. This particular story is definitely mind-boggling and until today, I wonder how that lady is. What I wanted to point out is that I’d never be ,ever, ready to be risky to invest in something that totally change my life  and a cheating partner is what I deserve at the end of the day.

I am the most cynical person with regards  to almost every controversial issue  but you have to agree with me on this perspective. Love, as appealing as it sounds, it is such a constantly evolving feeling that expects you to handle the painful unexpected. Maybe for some this is not even an anology but just pause for a second and think about it, but even leaves change their colour, let alone us – a special species who’s fascinatingly complicated, especially true when discussing the subject of love. We change . The only reason you don’t feel any changes in your loved ones is because both of you are changing, in the same magnitude and direction. And when one of you doesn’t change in the same direction, it’s  absolutely about for time for quarreling and tearful break-ups that can be avoided at the very least. I know the very fact that many will frown upon my bleak portrait for love. Trust me, I’m waiting for you to prove me wrong. I hope  you would not throw Jane Austen into my face because Pride and Prejudice is not very relevant in today’s context about love.I shan’t say I hate it but I think it gives a very optimistic story about love which is perfectly logical if you live in Utopia. But forget it if you live in Ethiopia!

It’s just me who don’t believe in happy endings in movies. They are exclusively suitable for screaming teenagers. Neither do I subscribe to love ballads which give delusional ideals about love, like those akin to Disney’s works – a charming and handsome prince in shining amour on a white horse. Or is that our solution to refuse the harsh reality that we know we’ll never be able to handle stoically?

It’s been a real challenge staying at home the whole day and by that I mean not stepping out for more than one hour and spending less than 10 dollars. In times of economic recession like these, this must be the most prudent decision I’ve ever made in my entire life. I’ve been sleeping at 7am and waking up at 6pm. Soon I will dearly miss these luxurious indulgence. I’m dreaded of going to school on Friday when all that vicious cycles of attending the most boring lectures will begin AGAIN. I just want to stay in bed and read all the books that I’ve been wanting to read. American Gods is seriously major. It is dark, mythic, poignant. One of the best reads in my reading collection.

Oh man, it is officially going to be the third week of March soon. In less than 8 weeks the fucking exams fever will start again. I’ve been planning to start my revision but procrastination just gets the better of me everyday. And after the exams, omfg, I’m going to be 21. Ok kids, I know I’ve been crying my lungs out over this trivial stuff but seriously I’m not fucking ready man. I’ve not achieved anything over these past 20 years and I just a little bit of time more to achieve something significant before turning 21. For instance, look at Zac Efron. He has a fucking promising future. He got the voice, the look, the skills (as in acting), the height, the fame, the money, the girlfriend, the wayfrayers that I want and the everything and he’s same age as I. KNNCCB. I’m just so not ready for everything to be moving this fast. And before you know it you’re going to be 30 and then 40 when all the mid-life crisis comes in and then you’ll be diagnose with one of the many chronic diseases. You may say ‘ choy, choy, later really kena’. But by the age of 40 or so, I won’t be surprised because trust me, so many health-freaks out there who solely survive on organic stuff and exercise 7 days a week and worship pilates and yoga and all and they still have cancer and diabetes and coronary heart diseases. After this, guess what? I’ll die. Oh my God, how come my life is so short and I haven’t really achieved anything to satisfy myself ( not literally speaking here). Can someone just stop the ticking clock for 2 years? I miss 17 18 19 20.

SLOW ME DOWN SLOW ME DOWN SLOW ME DOWN SLOW ME DOWN SLOW ME DOWN SLOW ME DOWN SLOW ME DOWN SLOW ME DOWN

Starting from tomorrow, I’ll live my life with a purpose which means that I’ll wake up early and have a breakfast and study and have sushi for lunch and stop by Swensen’s for ice cream and jog at night. In between that, I will not forget to shave and start on scrubbing all the pile of dirt clogging my huge pores and change my sheets and organise my table and wash my bag and cut my nails and properly shampoo my hair. I wish my hair is that fine and solft so I can have those tussled locks (rrad: random).

Wait, I’ve been knowing myself better over these past few days as well. I know that if I’m angsty about something, I’ll just go and eat my ass out. If I can’t sleep, an hour of Miles Davis playing that saxophone will help. If I feel the urge to slurge on some material shit, I’ll think of the price of the stuff in my currency which can seriously feed 10 families in one year. If I need to talk to someone, I’ll just watch some seriously mind-boggling movies or some documentary because they have so many meaningful conversations and topics to discuss and this will shut me up instantly because I’ll be so dumbfounded and feel no less than inferior. If I need to go out, I’ll think of the trouble getting my clothes (which none is new) or the ever surprisingly bitchy and indecisive weather who is like a teenage girl that’s going through a rough day(read:period, boys, self-esteem, sex).

 This ailing economy needs those who can splurge because I don’t think it’s getting any signs of the better. Because everywhere is having sales on everything you can imagine, even Burberry is having warehouse sales in Suntec at this time of the year. This is a serious case! So be prepared for a buy one get one free in all the boutiques  for this coming Great Singapore Sales. However, why the fuck there were masses and hordes of people at the recent IT fair. So weird, I thought Singapore economy is on par with the rest of the world- recession. They must be buying lots of gaming consoles and laptops and all so that they can play Left 4 Dead or Dota or Maple Story while being jobless. That’s the only explanation for the overcrowding fever at the IT fair.

 I don’t know whether I should attend this friend’s birthday party ( coming soon) and go to Sentosa with the lifesaving people ( this Sunday). I hope it’d rain heavily on both days so I don’t have to make a decision. Talking about decision-making, IBM was and still is  a bitch. I walked out of the exams hall after 1 hour which is the minimum duration you must sit for the papers. Watching WATCHMEN was damn cool witht the usual guys, it must have been a while since I last watched such an entertaining movie like this ( read : horrific).

Until then ( which I don’t know when),

Tata

I stop coming because I wish not to see your face but guess what you didn’t as well.

It’s orange,
No wait, it’s yellow.
With a little red and pink?
No Dear, we see Colorful.

Oh no, now it’s gray,
Or maybe it’s black?
With more white in it?
The Colorful just disappeared.

How to get it back?
Paint it with a different bunch of colors?
It will never be the same one,
Even if the Colorful come as close.

The old colorful is wonderful,
The old colorful shines bright.
It warmth everyone who sees it,
Even only one who understands it.

Maybe paint it with a different bunch of new colors.
The same shade may not appear.
The new Colorful can be too bright,
The new Colorful can be too dark.

Wait until dawn when the sun shines upon it.
The dark can be a little brighter.
Look at it at sunset,
The bright can be a little darker.

If the old colorful has not came back,
Give some time for the ‘new’ to develop its color.
If all fails,
Give your eyes the courage to adjust.

12) Do you have any saved texts?
- Currently no. My new motto is run away from the past, get through the present and embrace the future.

13) Ever been in a car wreck?
- Nope. But a coach wreck. Oh man, there was this one time when I went to Mt Ophir with the most annoying bunch of people somewhat and I literally lied on the expressway in the middle of the night. It was going to rain As a matter of fact, I missed the trip.

14) Do you have an accent?
- Definitely, the new Australian accent. The way they speak is so cute because they raise their pitch at the end of every single sentence as if they’re asking a question. Like ” I have a pimple on my arse today?” Haha, and their classic version of their hello-mate(s) and the way they pronounce ‘whatever’. But giving the choice living at the land Down Under I don’t think I’ll. It’s so scattered and sound so faraway. I mean Arkansas sounds closer and more relevant than Hobart. However, I must say that  Australians are hot but kangaroos are not.

- Other than food? 8 days with Jennifer Aniston the very photoshop-ed version gracing the cover and that’s all. I topped up my ezlink card today.

19) Have you ever been given roses?
- Never and I’m not interested. Roses are for cliched and cheesy love stories. I’d rather you treat me a nice dinner in an Italian restaurant. I don’t mind French cuisine as well. On a seriously random note, I put in thoughts in answering these questions, unlike some people who type out their answers without even looking at the questions properly.

20) Current worry?
- My future.

21) Current hate right now?
- My fucking school. I hope it’d get burned down.

22) Met someone who changed your life?
- Yeap. No further elaboration for this. But in case you wonder, no I’m not that sort who find my life back from God and church and all that crap. I don’t care this may offend anyone who comes across this but enough said about those who can go on and on and on about going to church every fucking single day and sing in the church choir and eat in the church and the moment they open their dirty mouths, the topic is all about God when they treat their friends and families like dogs. So you may haved judged and labelled me as a HYPOCRITE, trust me there’re bigger hypocrites way bigger than I’m. So take a look around before judging anyone and may I suggest you should get a mirror too because you’re one of us too ( WELCOME TO THE CLUB, BIATCH!)

- CNY. I stayed at home with my parents and it was marvellous. Igot ang paos from relatives in very symbolic amounts.

- I was watching Top Chef and American Idol.

27) What was the first thing you thought of when you woke up?

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
Apparently no. My name is damn unique and as far as I know, noone shares the same name as mine which is kinda a good feeling.

2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
When I was 12? I don’t know.

3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
OMFG. Talking about handwriting, when I was in primary school, everyone was supposed to have very nice handwriting. My teachers saw the potential in me and they sent me to all the stupid competitions for nice handwriting (WTF I KNOW). Surprisingly I was in the school team for 2 years and got some useless awards after spending days and nights practising. So, I have a love-hate relationship with my handwriting. The journey was a painful and eventful one.

4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
Definitely not pork.

5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
If kids is the short form for kidneys then yes sir!

6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
I would marry me. I think I’m perfect!

7. DO YOU USE SARCASM?
On a daily basis. For example, read number 6. Read 2 times and you don’t get still it means you’re fucking stupid.

8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?
Yeap, I thought I needed to go for surgery when I was young but lucky me.

9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?
Definitely, maybe! I got the adrenaline rush when I see people jumping off the fucking cliff. I often wonder what I’d be thinking at that moment in time. And normally the guys will say stuff like, ” Whenever you’re ready, sir!”. But I’ll ask them to push me down because I don’t think I can jump off all by myself. I’ll scream something like, ” Fuck me, mothernature! FUUUUCCCCKKK MEEE!”. Ok, better stop here because what if I’m chickened out when I really have the chance. This is on ‘must-do’ list before I die.

10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?
No favourite. But anything that has dried fruits. No point munching on all the nuts in the morning.

11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
Maybe it’s about time that I should do that.

12. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BOARD GAME?
If Jenga is considered as a board game, then Jenga it is. I think Monopoly is so time-consuming. Maybe that’s the whole idea behind playing board game because you have nothing else better to do.

13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM?
I love ice-cream. My children will be called Ben and Jerry. Ok I know it’s not funny but at least I’m trying to self-entertain. Everything and anything but not coffee. And Italian gelato and lime/lemon/peach sorbet. It’s so refreshing for lazy afternoons, paired up with a good book and by the pool. Heavenly.

14. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?
Anything and everything. I must be the most judgemental fucker on this planet. But the person I should judge most often is myself. Sometimes random people often ask me.. okay sorry not relevant.

15. RED OR PINK?
Definitely red and fuschia. These are the two colours of the month. Next month my favourite colour will be orange. Orange apparently is the only colour representing all the four seasons throughout the world. Resilience I must say.

16. WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?
Least favourite things include my face, body, attitude towards life and not forget the many tonnes of fats covering every single inch of my body.

17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST?
At this point of time, my beloved mother and father. Her birthday is coming and all. Should I fly home during the one week break? This is the first time in many years living away from home that I’ve missed them this much. I dream about them many times. I hope this is nothing bad.

18. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO COMPLETE THIS LIST?
Nope.

19. WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING?
Dark blue Nike shorts ( made in Hong Kong) and barefooted now.

Without any obligation and hestitation, orange.

Cooling and refreshing smell. Marc Jacobs. Chanel Sports Allure. Carolina Herrera Aqua. Bvlgari Aqua. Top picks and I really like them.

24. LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?
Noone.

25. DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU?
Apparently noone sent me and I don’t give a fuck. I just feel like doing this.

26. FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH?
It must be swimming, volleyball, tennis and boxing ( unresolved childhood anger issues)

27. HAIR COLOR?
Arificially brown. My hair has been the biggest bitch over these past few days. It was frizzy and unmanageable. I was thinking of shaving but chickened out at the end. Because a) I spent 50 fucking dollars on it just before CNY and b) I’ll prolly look like I have cancer and undergo chemo and everyone will run away from me including animals. On a random note, the last time I went to Bangkok and oh my gawk, I saw all the cutest puppies in the world. The problem is I can’t even take care of myself, there’s no point of taking in a dog.

28. EYE COLOR?
Darkest shade of brown. I think generally everyone will more or less have the same eye colour. This of course only refers to the Asians at large.

29. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS?
I used to but there were times when I came home straight from school and I was so lazy to take them off, I’d just wear them and take a 6-hour nap. To my horror when I woke up, I couldn’t them off and thanks to the lubricating lotion ( for the eyes only, I know what you’re thinking the moment you see the word lubricating), I took them off. And there was this one time I went to watch the movie ” Failure to launch” starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew McConaughey at Plaza Singapura. Oh man, one of the contacts fell out of my left eye. It was so weird with the other half  so I decided to take them off and throw away as well. That was when I broke up with contacts. It’s so troublesome and doesn’t make me look any better compared to wearing spectacles. And since I’m as ugly as a toad, no point in being vain. On the Plaza Singapura note, and someone opened a can of Coke and the fizzy drink spilled all over my LV bag. What the fucking fuck right, I know.I officially don’t go to Plaza Singapura for movies since that incident.

30. FAVORITE FOOD?
Everything and anything.

31. SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?

Happy endings I guess. I’m not very into bloody scenes where the cameramen can’t keep their cameras steady and the whole screen keeps shaking like mad and the actresses are painting like dogs and they always shoot these stuff in some sleazy corners.

32. LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED?
How to lose friends and alienate people. It was cute. I love everything bout accents for now.

33. WHAT COLOR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING?
Blue Addidas tee shirt ( made in Laos). WTF again.

34. SUMMER OR WINTER?
Summer when I feel like going to the beach to show off my protruding belly and winter when I need to pig out while hibernating like a polar bear.

35. HUGS OR KISSES?
Both. French, even better.

37. MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND?
I’m most likely to respond to those who are friendly and on the same wavelengths as me.

38. LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND?
To those who have body odour, rude, attention-seeking, cannot speak English in full sentences.

39. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW?
Half-way through the autobiography of Marie Antoinette. I’m interested in European arts and history for now I guess.

40. WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?
I don’t have a mouse but I have a pad. Ok, not funny.

41. WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON TV LAST NIGHT?
Considering eztv.it as a  telly, I watched Ugly Betty.

42. FAVORITE SOUND(S).
Definitely not the alarm ringtone of mine.

43. ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES?
The Beatles.

44. WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME?

 I don’t even want to answer this question.

45. DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT?
I can sleep, eat, play and spend money for my whole entire life without finding it meaningless. As a matter of fact, if I were able to do that, I’d have a new profound respect for life and understand Michael Buble’s What A Wonderful World.

46 WHERE WERE U BORN?
Hospital.

47. WHOSE ANSWERS ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING BACK?
Noone in particular.

48. HOW DID YOU MEET YOUR SPOUSE/SIGNIFICANT OTHER?
In the mall. My SO is my bolster. It cost 27.90

49. WHAT KIND OF PET WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE?
At the moment, nah. Maybe soft toy then Teddy bear.

50. WHICH COUNTRY WOULD YOU LIKE TO VISIT?
Only one country is allowed then there’s no point. How about Australia as the starting point?

Don’t you dare judge me and give me that disapproving views borrowed  from the societal standards which have become more than hypocritical, controlling, apathetic, self-righteous. Don’t you ever dare to do that.

Woohhoo I didn’t go to school early this morning because… Nevermind, it was a really long and complicated story. The lesson learnt is that I’ll never sleep again for the rest of my life or after prelims (10 days counting down) at least.

And I was more than ecstatic that I survived this fucking Feb 14th. Disgustingly commercial and overhyped and unromantic. Sour grapes I’m having. And I didn’t buy any presents for the person whom I love the most- myselft.  Even though the economy is in deep shit and I should do every part possible to spend but guess what, I learnt my lesson.

On a random note, I hate the fuck out of your face, PERIOD!!!!!!  Yes, YOU.

Obsession Du Jour No. 1 right now is this classic messenger on the left from Loewe. No more mass-produced and loud mono prints that even China women carry while sashaying down Orchard Road with pride.
