you made my day :)

its a boring saturday morning...
nothing much is happening at work....
feefs and nottifish were on msn...talking about life...
then nottifish says he needs to photocopy some documents...
feefs requests that he photocopies his hand just for fun...
and voila...this is the result...
life can't get more fun and random than this...


and just when i thought things couldn't get any weirder...
nottifish draws me a swordfish stabbing a shark...

main susah nak dapat?

sometimes when we don't/can't get what we want...we'll want it even more...
and this is exactly why the "play hard to get theory" works...
but what are the rules to the game?
guys tell me that there is definitely an expiry date to the game...
granted...they're not going to be chasing something that can't be caught...
but ya know how attention spans differ from person to person....
so how do you know when is a good time to give up the game and give in?
we are apparently able to plot it out on a graph...
there's an upward rise in interest...
then it is followed by the thrill of the chase which is where it peaks...
but eventually the interest dies as time goes on...

some people say that there's a 3 time rule...
refuse 3 times..then give in...repeat process....
others say that its really subtle...
you can give in as many times as you want...but make sure you leave something to be desired...
its like dangling a carrot in front of a freaking mule...
some say its just a form of taking things slow...
its just that taking things slow has somehow been interpreted as "playing hard to get"...
such a complex game this is...

it has also been stated that guys don't play hard to get...
they are very focused...very straight forward and they go in for the kill immediately...
if they see something they like...they go for it...
they don't pretend and waste time...
oddly enough...i have met some guys who play the game too...
when that happens...its kinda like a stand still...
both people are waiting for something to happen...
but both aren't doing anything about it...

why do people play hard to get anyway?
is it a test?
what is being put to the test? sincerity? faithfulness? determination?
or is it merely a game?
something to keep people on their toes...
something to make things exciting...mysterious...somewhat thrilling...

i find that there's too many mind games being played nowadays...
get to the point...
things will move with more speed and accuracy if people are just honest...
say it as it is...
be yourself...
"i like you"..."you like me"...follow up with a 1 minute embrace...
problem solved :)

where have all the anvils gone?

this whole thing started when i asked "what happened to all the anvils?"...
i mentioned that i wanted one so i can use it to drop on people's heads...
but where do i get one?
its one of those things that were commonly used back in those days...or is it really?
its portrayed in cartoons and movies and comics...
but what happened to them?
were they all collected and melted down when they were no longer needed?
or were they all sent to an anvil museum deep in the country side of some relatively unknown scandanavian town....?
or did they never exist at all?

and what happened to curtsies?
women used to curtsy all the time...
we've seen in it movies like pride and prejudice...shakespeare in love...yada yada...
but its like once we passed the 20th century the practice of the curtsy just disappeared...
sooner or later...people aren't going to even know what it is...
its already a fading memory for our generation...
eventually...the future generation will not even know of its existence...
it'll be a word in the dictionary that is never used and never looked up...
so just for D's sake...i'm goin to spread the word....
bring back the curtsy!!!!

gossip

i've been the subject of many gossip sessions these days...
whether i'm involved in a scandal or whether i'm hiding something is being discussed...
am i in love with someone i'm not supposed to be in love with?
why do i seem to dislike certain people?
am i using him?
is she sleeping with him?
i'm used to being analyzed...
having my every move and my every word watched and dissected...

sometimes i wonder why people like to make up stories about others...
is it because life is boring and they need drama...?
is it because they truly believe in those stories...?
is it because they're insecure and having problems of their own that they need to divert the attention elsewhere...?
is it because they secretly envy me...?

i have to admit that i do participate in gossip sessions too...
listening intently as people tell stories about other people...
questioning the authenticity and the truth behind these stories...
and i'd like to believe that i have more common sense than that...
that i would be able to easily distinguish between what's true and what's absurd...
that i won't go around spreading ill rumors about someone or something...
and i hope that others would be able to do the same...

in the end...i don't really care about what people say about me...
its in our nature to dissect the negatives rather than focus on the positives...
no one's going to talk about how smart that person is...or how independent she is...or how creative he is...
its always about scandal...cat fights...bad blood...
and if that makes someone's life more fulfilling...
if it brings excitement into someone's mundane routine...so be it...

until then...

they got it soooo wrong...

You Should Play the Guitar

You're very independent - both in spirit and in the way you learn. You can teach yourself almost anything, even if it makes your fingers bleed. You're not really the type to sit patiently through a music lesson - or do things by the book. It's more your style to master the fundamentals and see where they take you. Highly creative and a bit eclectic, you need a wide range of music to play. You could emerge as a sensitive songwriter... or a manic rock star. Your dominant personality characteristic: being rebellious Your secondary personality characteristic: tenacity

What Musical Instrument Should You Play?

on the way back from the mamak...

was in ss2 earlier today and noticed this cybercafe...
their signboard was actually upside down...
is it a gimmick to make them more noticeable since there are so many competitors around?
or is it just bad planning?
then again...this particular cybercafe was closed...
i wonder why....

its back

the durian cake has made a comeback...
i'm hoping it'll last at least till mid october...
come on durians...GROW!!!!!

i lost my marbles

recently i feel lost...
like i have everything but i have nothing....
i'm happy but i'm unhappy...
its strange...
so i spent most of this week in hibernation mode...
reflecting...thinking...trying to pinpoint what the problem is...
and BAM...it hit me...
i need my alone time...
over the past few weeks i haven't had much time alone...
my dad is back from penang...
he's in the house all the time cramping my space...
i'm always out with friends or with my family or out for work...
there's always people around...
so yesterday i decided to do the solitary confinement thing...
and it was great...
went walking around aimlessly in a shopping mall...
had dinner by myself with my ipod turned on to some jazz music and a magazine to read...
came back and did a bourne marathon...with the family though...
but once it was over i managed to squeeze in another dvd...
had my junk food with me...donuts...doritos...coke...ice cream...
made like an upside down vegetable on the sofa...
and when i woke up today i felt completely refreshed...
all i needed was time alone to be myself...
and even though it was only for awhile...i feel brand new :)

happy birthday mindy...
i hope u made it count :)

bourne marathon

did a bourne marathon today...
after watching bourne identity and bourne supremacy again it really makes bourne ultimatum make sense...
the little things that they say...
the things that i've forgotten over the years...

i've watched so many movies over the past one week its giving me a headache...
one sentence movie reviews:

ratatouille - not funny
rogue assassin - mindless entertainment
bourne ultimatum - excellent craftsmanship with fast paced action and suspense
catch and release - typical chick flick
because i said so - another typical chick flick
fracture - so predictable

movies to watch:

grindhouse
knocked up
art school confidential
the science of sleep
the lives of others

so many movies...so little time...
its time to go into hibernation...
movie marathons for a week :)
