最近

While I think it is sweet of my friend (and friend only, for like the best of Taiwanese idol dramas, we interact with the mutual understanding this is a totally platonic relationship that we have and he has self-declared himself as my best friend, after Ruth) to call me frequently from Hong Kong, and to msn ever so often, this unfortunately negates my interaction with other male species in so far as his ardent and passionate nature makes it a tough act to follow and top. Mr Dimples has been sadly neglected and perhaps it shall stay that way from now (apart from wishing him Happy Birthday in the later of this week). On the other hand, I’m only beginning to realise (remember) how potentially consuming it can be to really talk on the phone/msn frequently. I think I’d flip if a real lover were to do that to me.

你想要的 我却不能够给你我全部
我能给的 却又不是你想要拥有的
我们不适合也不想认输
好几次我们抱着彼此都是想要哭

你常解释这样的一切都只是开始
我觉得是所有的一切早就已结束
不想再约束不要再痛苦下一次会有更好的情路

Week of 26 & 27 Oct
Events of note: Held a press conference and sat through another one that had William So in Grand Shanghai restaurant. My sis spotted me on national news.

Sat - sneak preview of Stardust with Shimin. The ending was reworked into a sanitised and sappy one. Otherwise, ceteris paribus, I am happy with the adaptation of the Neil Gaimen’s novel. Charlie Cox definitely looks hotter with longish hair to frame his face while Claire Danes looks less hot as a blonde. The night blue gown she was wearing is gorgeous though. Watched Lars and The Real Girl even later at night and promptly slept through bits of it and missed the ending completely. Remade my vow never to watch a movie at night. The same thing had occurred when watching Death At A Funeral with Ruth a couple weeks back. I think it’s a sign of age. I used to laugh at Minxiu who has to sleep at some point through our movie-watching most of the time and it’s payback time.

Sun – lazy day. Read and rid the newspapers that have been piling up for the past two weeks. Crunched my way through the latest issues of trashy female magazines. Attempted to blog (ie now) and hopefully set some time aside to do English subtitling for a Cantonese musical. Talked to Po (henceforth to be known as such instead of PyJamas) on the phone.

Weekend of 19 & 20 Oct
Sat – Sat my way through Superbad which was probably my first encounter with movies of this genre (the alpha teen male answer to chick flicks like She’s A Man, Mean Girls that are my guilty indulgence) and it was a surreal experience. Was sufficiently intrigued to start sms-ing various guy friends in the middle of the movie if guys really think and act that way at that age (okay, assuming it’s something that can be outgrown – they could still be thinking and acting that way now). It’s hard to imagine my guy friends attempting actively to get laid and score when I know for a fact most are 自爱 and 检点 in so far the attempting (as opposed to the attempt to attempting, ha) has not happened. Went KTV with my broadcast group and stayed up till 1am.

Sun – Ran my first 10km race (Great Eastern) with April and achieved my not-very-high target of completing it within 1:30:00 (plus minus 15 secs). I walked a lot, no thanks to the sweltering heat and I think the thing that kept me moving fast and steady enough was the futile attempt to outran the beams of sunlight.

Signing off here ‘cos there’s no steam and there’s subtitling to do. I should really avoid lagging in blogging.
