When you meet the right person, do you fall fast?

Haven’t met the right person yet, but when i meet someone, i hesitate a lot. That’s me.

Have you ever had your heart broken?

Not really. Dont think so. It’s kind of easily mended, at least i think so.

Do you believe that there are certain circumstances when cheating is acceptable?

Yinwei? haha. ok, no.

Do you want children?

If you could get married anywhere, money not an object, where would it be?

break my day. make my day

Friday, August 25th, 2006

currently listening to fantasy album jay chou, impulse.

guess its because i just ordered for the pre-sale album and got my jay chou poster, and this new cd is named still fantasy, and i reckoned it means he’s tryin to go "back to basics" too. haha. and i really do hope so, coz fantasy style is really the ultimate jay style i like. and now, listening to "jian dan ai" still makes me feel like tearing, it has become conditioned behaviour.

and it was quite a bad day today.

me and marcius had a talk with sinyee and dan today. dont think im sharin the details here, but it was abt the screwin up of the cg phototakin and stuff like that. somehow, i was thinkin on my way home, mayb we’re too harsh with them, but yet half of me is screamin "OOI USE UR COMMON SENSE" leh. but everytime i hear marcius’ interrogating tone, i "diam". totally cant stand it. not against it, just cant stand it. though i can totally understand why he nearly lost it with them. come on people, solve the problems, solve the problems, solve the problems. ask ask ask. find out find out find out. consult consult consult.

and i didnt get to watch the break-up. although its a silly show im amused i want to watch

but kidsread made my day. doris was with us todae! hurray! and we played pictionary and read this book about grandpas. im beginning to know those in my grp and im a happy goober (as nurul puts it). wahahaha.

u know, i always have the urge to put a photo of young here, but i know ppl will think "aiyoh, the looks ta boleh lah, why u like this kind geeky nerdy type" de. so i shall refrain fr it. though he still rocks my world. and depp too. and balakrishnan too.

heh heh.

peace.

see im happy again. nothing gets me down im beginning to suspect. and chaokiat, the thing i asked you about being angry and annoyed i was tryin to figure out if i ever felt angry. and i still dunno. make me angry leh ppl.

The Israel- Lebanon War (First Person Account)

Friday, August 18th, 2006

It’s rare to obtain such a first person account regardin international issues, but here’s one from the journal of gilad bernari, one of my favourite photographers. From israel:

Hello my friends,
You probably noticed I wasn’t around for a couple of weeks.
This doesn’t happen to me often, and if it does happen, I usually would alert you first.. Well, this time I couldn’t do that. I was called to join the war on a night call (04:00 AM if you must know), abd by 8:00 AM I was already in my drafting point ready to be shipped to the front.

So, sorry for disappearing like that.

Anyway,
There will time to tell you more about what I’ve been through (as much as I can say), but I just wanted to say hi, and that I’m thrilled to return, alive.
I lost some friends to the Hezbollah, and been through hell, and the "seize fire" that was called caught me right in time. Homesick for my family, friends, and you guys.

I took some pictures, of course, but non of the combat itself. It was hard enough keeping me and my friend’s safe, to carry my camera with me as well. That’s the advantage journalists have, being free from fighting tasks. I never realized how dangering it can be to mix the tasks you must do to survive, with the state of mind I need to do my photography.

Let me just add a silent wish for peace again.
I know how impossible it seems, when the enemy objective seems to be only to kill you (And the Israeli state), and so there can be no negotiations, but still, I believe, it is possible to create a balance where people can simply decide not to fight and focus on their own lives.

I’m sorry if some of your messages and comments from the recent weeks will not be answered, since I could never go through all the amount waiting for me.

I will still be missing for some time since I still have to return there for a short while, but it’s good to be back. Very good.

Yours, G

let it take you

Friday, August 18th, 2006

was jus running my hands down the racks

and i picked out the goldfrapp cd, cover completely covered by dust

swept the dust away, and thought for a while

inserted the cd into the drive, and im well into the 2nd round of the cd haha

some who know goldfrapp might be wonderin: WHAT THE HELL IS MOON DOIN WITH A GOLDFRAPP CD?

well, there are still a lot u dont know about me then.

this is my once in a while indulgence

heh

for those who are still wonderin WHO THE HELL IS GOLDFRAPP check out the net, i think larry page’s google works quite well, or you could always try yahoo! or askjeeves, jeeves always have the answer, although i definitely dont know him personally

i reckon you can trust him

anyway, here’s one example, let me show you what is lyrical genius:

They sail light, ocean

Sail this night, ocean

Filling my sleep so gently

Just let it take you

Just let it steer

They sail light, ocean

Sail this night, ocean

Shimmer like gold, they’re singing

Filling my sleep so gently

Just let it take you

Just let it steer

Just let it take you

This is easy

ok, if you’re not romantic enough, this would be dirrty to you. And it might just spike another bout of orgasm. But, this is for the brave-hearted and the matured ones. I already spared some of you the agony by not typin the more explicit ones. Like the lyrics of Slide In. (I can imagine how people are startin to imagine things, and come up with ther own lyrics haha)

And goldfrapp’s music is like so surreal. And so chillout-pub style.

Anyway, back to life.

Kidsread second session today, but my first day back. wasnt around the first session due to leo dinner.

New volunteers, new kids. Anyway i had a hard time explaining what a kid(as in baby goat) is to a kid today. Shucks, im gonna say this again,im bad at names, for now names i can remember are: warren (because we sang him a bdae song todae) haslinda (did i get this correct?) laila (bingo!) ariff shide christina and i dunno le oh and one tehran(isnt this the capital of iran or isit? im quite a geographical idiot) and volunteers names: raf of coz haha, michel, cheryl, calesta, thats all

anyway, me and raf agreed that the prev way kidsread sesssions were handled were more fun, with the themes. now we have to follow the "syllabus" although they dont strictly restrict you to that. And it was so comical when raf kept worryin that she couldnt get pass the library’s "scanner" coz she had a book fr the book fair at the expo in her bag, and the scanner beep when she came in. haha. we were like "ok, one two three, go" then "eh, dont have leh’

haha

Saturday, August 12th, 2006

alone time.

and im kinda like really freakin tired

droopy eyes, sore eyes, tired eyes.

i dont really know whether im thinkin too much, but there seems to be a problem with those eyes of mine.

i go through this weird phase everyday, when my eyes go all watery. argh, spare me that agony.

anyway, the gold madness has gotten into me again, and my obsession with that D & G phone, i found out, isnt over yet.

coz its SO SO stylish. although some might argue that its a bit too man, coz of its hard and cold exterior. but i really love it. and D & G must be the best men’s brand in the mkt, at least that’s what i think.

now here’s a peek at that cute gadget:

Fullspec_img_30545

okok, its not time for a change of phones yet, so i shall just continue dreamin about the phone.

been addicted to readin blogs nowadays. found it really entertaining to get a glimpse of how others lead their life, especially if these "others" are interesting ppl.

suffering from withdrawal symptoms, to be exact, "THE WHERE IS YOUNG" withdrawal symptoms. havent got any chance to catch the show these few days, bad timing, blame it on that. only have myself to blame. but i think he’s not back yet. hiaz.

and im takin a long time to finish the ji mi’s series. wanna start on jostein gaarder soon, coz i dont have much time in tjc, which means that the tjc library will soon have plenty of reasons to not lend me that book. hehe.

thats all 4 now, im typin in bits and pieces again. hate that. so i shall stop and spare u the agony of readin on. ciaoz

There, You all dont believe me!!

SORRY TO KEEP YOU WAITING

BUT HERE’S THE MEATBALL SONG! IT’S TRUE IT’S TRUE

SEE WHAT SUPERB MEMORY I HAVE!!!

NOW HERE IT IS:

On Top Of Spaghetti (to the tune of : On Top of Old Smokey)

On top of spaghetti,

All covered in cheese,

I lost my poor meatball

When somebody sneezed.

It rolled off the table

And unto the floor,

And then my poor meatball

Rolled out of the door

It rolled down the garden

and under a bush,

And then my poor meatball

was nothing but mush!

So,

If you have spaghetti,

All covered in cheese,

Hold onto your meatball,

‘Cause someone might sneeze!

Omg, im so brilliant i actually found this.

and i swear i swear we sang this during music lessons. urgh.

and anyway, here’s another cute song ive been singing lately:

Make Courtesy Our Way of Life

Courtesy is for free
Courtesy is for you and me.
It makes for gracious living and harmony
Giving a friendly smile
Helping out where we can
Trying hard to be polite all the time

Courtesy is for free
Courtesy is for you and me.
It makes for gracious living and harmony
Living could be a treat
If people are awfully sweet
Courtesy could be our way of life

Courtesy is for free
Courtesy is for you and me.
It makes for gracious living and harmony
It is rude to be abusive
Just to prove we’re right
Instead we could be nice about it if we tried

Make courtesy our way of life.

of the hungry ghost fest and getais and more..

Sunday, August 6th, 2006

heheh, long and droning title.

speakin of the hungry ghost fest, the Straits Times had this really interesting segment in Life! about how they go about setting up the altar, the auction dinner and stuff like that. those stuff about the "dua ya pek" and "ji ya pek" and " hor hia di" was really infotainment stuff. didnt even know that you onli pay the next yr for your auction items, and i couldnt figure out why this is so.

been watching getais since i was young, although its been a long time since i caught one. was wondering why on earth did my mum and dad bring the 3 of us to the getais when we were still freakin young. like around k1 and k2. i guess that’s how i honed my dialect language skills, haha. and exposed to raunchy and dirty jokes at that age was like unimaginable. that’s why i say, parents, unleash your kids, and they’ll grow up to be like us the little doe-eyed innocent kid. haha. kids dont turn rebellious and rotten just becoz they are exposed to "F***king" "knnb" -filled dialogues and conversations. loosen up and get your kids to the nearest getai show now and enjoy! see, i still dont speak a word of vulgarity till now.

and i guess im one of the few who really know the getai A listers comperes like ah beng knows ah kow. Practically grew up watching people like liu ling ling, ah lam, ling li, and not to forget chen jin lang behave like crazy people on stage. And just to let you know, one of them, xu chiong fang just lives across the street. they’re part of the heartlanders and rare treasures in Sg. a bit worried its goin to be true that the getai is becumin a diminishing trade, just like how puppet shows and operas are now.

anyway, these few days, young hasnt been around. ah, i miss his voice. haha.

watched hard candy the other day and yep, one of the great movies this year too. " Was i born this fucking, vindictive little bitch, or did society made me this way?" asked Hayley. Wow. some thought-provocating stuff. heavy. mind- boggling. but i would nvr foget the scene where she was so bent on cuttin of his balls like " well, i found out that castration is one of the easiest surgery, they made it sound so difficult" cool candy sia.

national day coming soon. and so happy birthday S’pore! it always come so soon which means a year has passed again. awwww. was contemplating doin read and white manicure for toenails to get into the mood (funny stuff i do) but well ran out of white nail polish. so now it’s quirky green and red. haha.

and did anyone watch superband last night? coz i seriously think Zhang Zhen Yue is soo soo sexy. ooh. and my vivian was there too last nite. come on, what’s up with all those sexy dudes nowadays, they keep poppin up here and there. and plus plus, im currently hooked on Christina Aguilera becoz she’s too soo soo sexy in the " Aint No Other Man "mv. go check it out!
