Raya holiday is over *sob* and I have to get on the plane in 4 hours, so this post will be a quick one. This is probably my last raya here in at least 5 years, so I tried to enjoy every moment of it. As usual the first 3 days was full of open [...]

I will only post about my Raya celebrations after the last open house on the 26th, so I don’t really have any significant event to blog about now. But to keep this blog posted, I’m gonna blog about films to watch for the rest of 2009. With A2 and everything, it’s hard to find time [...]
Creature From Another World

I saw a creature, unlike one I’ve seen before
No words can describe it,
nor are there any hands that can paint it’s form.
It behaved oddly – not like all the other creatures of the forest
Certainly it is not from this forest?
It’s manner peculiar; it’s conduct out of the norm.
The creature drank from a small stream
While all [...]
Masquerade

The world is a grandiose, extravagant Bal Masque (Masquerade Ball) in which all the guests sport masks of varying designs and characters. Their faces are hidden; their identities concealed – but none of the guests are at strife with another. None knows the actors behind the guises. Everyone plays along according to their characters, be [...]
A Conversation During Dinner
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged college, conversation, dinner, useless on August 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Here, for me, dinner is usually the most entertaining, yet sometimes awkward/disturbing part of the day, but not because of the food. Rather the discussions I had with dinner-mates Daniel and Queenie. Every time we had dinner together, the conversations never stray far away from redundant subject matters (aliens, suicide, fruits and vegetables), gossips, [...]
Ever Thine, Ever Mine, Ever Ours

Ok, back to posting useless stuffs. Now it’s a letter by Ludwig van Beethoven. A love letter actually. Now, in spite of my cynical, stoic, emotionless self, I still can appreciate a wonderfully written piece, that is heartfelt and beautifully verbose. Plus the six-words phrase “ever thine, ever mine, ever ours” is somehow so profound [...]
Caresse sur l’ocean

Or Cherish (Caress) Upon the Ocean from the movie Les Choristes. An amazingly beautiful song, best to listen to when your mind is troubled. It just calms you right away.
Here is the lyric:
Caresse sur l’océan
Porte l’oiseau si léger
Revenant des terres enneigées
Air éphémère de l’hiver
Au loin ton écho s’éloigne
Châteaux en Espagne
Vire au [...]
Via, Veritas, Vita

From one of the extremely addictive Facebook quizzes:
Choose one line that you like:
1. Are you going to kiss me or do I have to lie to my diary?
2. They say the truth will set you free. But then why is it that every time I tell the truth I get sent to my room?
3. Screw [...]

Ok, the title is bad.I wanna talk about Nine, one my most anticipated film this year (or maybe next year here). Seriously, this film got awards written all over it (literally!). Not that awards mean anything, but still…Here’s a teaser pic.
I can’t wait for the trailer or poster:
From the Tony Award-winning musical based on the [...]
