Long Time No Update

Closet Talks/Thoughts

Hrm

Just realized that it has been almost a year since I update this blog (proper).

Don’t know the reason why, but there is no urge to post every little things in my life onto the blog anymore. Perhaps due to the nature of what I am doing now, perhaps due to *age* (ha!), perhaps many other reasons that I wish to keep myself more private. (Afterall, I am half a *public figure*! Still getting used to *strangers* calling my name when I am out on the street, scratching my nose)

Life has been stable  for myself, although there is occasionally *emo* period (guys also can have PMS one, alright, except that I will *lao sai* all along long for couple of days during that period :P ). As I am double hatting in serveral roles, I have a tendency to work all day long, even the weekends. Busy, but fulfilling I guess. (Well, I need to work harder to go for my holidays!)

Writer’s block le.. Dunno what to write.

After Thoughts

Kopi Talks

Watch ‘The Dark Knight’ the night before.

Had a sleepless night after that.

Reasons?

1. Heather Ledge
He is one of the villains in recent times that did not install hatred into you when you watch the movie. That is the usual reaction of the audience, where you hate the villain so much that you wish he/she is dead. The portrayal of Joker by Heather Ledge, however, install FEAR. I felt FEAR throughout the movie. FEAR for Batman, FEAR for Gotham City, FEAR for what is going to happen next. Literally, it gave me a sleepless night. I am unable to sleep well after watching the movie.

Kudos to Heather Ledge and the Nolan brothers.

2. Perfection
Ha. There was the Channel U drama recently, ‘Perfect Cut’ discussing the chase of perfection by people nowadays. ‘The Dark Knight’, discussed the philosophy of the ideology of the ‘perfect’ Gotham City with all the criminals wipe out.

What happen when the place is too sanitized? A bigger menace appears? As what the film protray, Joker is the product of Batman’s effort to fight crimes in the city.

What happened when we try to be perfect? Are we suppressing an inner devil, or releasing an inner devil inside us when we tried to be a ‘perfect’ person? What are the opportunity cost of being ‘perfect’? Harvey Dent is a ‘perfect’ District Attonery, wiping out the crime and having a perfect girlfriend. What happened when all are lost? The ‘devil’, his ‘two-face’ personality overcomes his initial nature.

Yes, we are human too. Sometimes, it is not wrong to be imperfect.

Results From This Quiz : http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

Quite accurate, I personally feel…

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don’t judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren’t necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people’s eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don’t ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Lies and Deception

Kopi Talks

I have been writing less nowadays online due to sensitivity issues, but some revelations during these 2 days made me feel disappoint to someone I know. (I am not sure I am even a *friend* to this person, in the first place)

So that is the main reason I am excluded. So that could be the reason that the person had flamed someone in the person’s blog. So that could be the reason for some other stuff that happened in the past, now, and the future?

But what I cannot stand is the ‘la la!’ still act friendly attitude. If you freaking don’t like me, don’t talk to me, ignore me. The only thing I hate more than an enemy is a hypocrite.

Enough said. Disappointed.

Just a Reflection (aka Random Thoughts)

Closet Talks/Thoughts, Random Thoughts Series, School Talk

Sitting at the canteen of a polytechnic this morning, while passing my time away, something dwell upon me.

I AM OLD. LIAO.

Yes, it may not be a surprise news to  you,  and me, but yeah, finally,  it seems that this fact has dwell upon me when I am here.

Yes, that’s about it. Maybe this is what will happen when you are in a environment where a lot of people around you are so young and vibrant.

Awaiting the day when I am ’19′ again. Ha.
