三分钟热度

Sometimes, maybe, I'm just too anal about how things should be. Like how I assume that when pple indicate interest in sthg, they are genuinely interested (in the activity, meeting up or whatever). And I get so riled up when suddenly, they are not interested anymore.

But why do pple even indicate freaking interest in doing something in the first place? To show 'solidarity'? Just to say interested first, then can always 'see how' later.. cos if they didn't say interested then sekali they really wanna go then no kaki how? And this is why I hate big group activities, and worse, actually organising them. Like how many freaking opinions do u really need to consider before making a decision and what if those opinions are actually quite retarded?

So anyway, u guys can prob see where this is going. Stupid pple, all saying interested in going for KTV outing. And when we finally get down to the exact details, one by one drop out. And then there are those who don't even respond to emails. Don't know which is worse - not responding or responding alr then contradicting yourself after. Like can't you just get your freaking schedules organised?!

So damned angry that I wanna say screw the entire thing, I'm just gonna make my own plans and hang out with pple who are actually worth my time. But what shall I do about the poor girl who volunteered to organise it? I'll then become one of the pang seh-ers. :/

**Update: Ok.. the girl just emailed to say, why don't we change date cos that's not a good date for her either. And if we do it in July then there's more time to plan. Honestly, the idea was first mooted almost a month ago. If pple cldn't make time then, what makes u think they'll make time in July?? Well. Time to say no to shortening my lifespan even further!

粤


粤 [yuè]
1. Guangdong and Guangxi Provinces.
2. Alternative name for Guangdong Province.

粤语 [yuèyǔ]
1. Guangdong dialect; Cantonese

Been pondering abt my love for everything 粤 for a while now. I wonder if it's a subconscious thing from my childhood... since I probably had the longest amount of time with my grandparents and great-grandmother... so although I didn't really understand most of what was going on around me, I suppose any use of the language just resonates within me...like a "going back to my roots" thing.

Just like how mando/cantopop also struck a chord in me since pri 5. Not sure how I discovered it, think like I just decided one day that I'd listen to chinese music. (umm.. and maybe also cos of how cute I thought Leon Lai looked :p) Definitely nothing to do with my family on this, cos my parents are totally ang moh pai. And they were horrified to find me listening to 93.3 on the radio!

Ok, talking about music, my Canto supplier passed me a CD full of 100 over canto songs recently, so I've been listening!! Totally rediscovered 张学友 and 郑秀文. "New" music, shiok only la!! So anyway, share with u guys another song, by Sammi .. haven't heard of her in a while alr huh! But this song damn nice. Altho I don't totally get the words and the MV looks super depressing, it's still a nice tune :)




There's sthg about hearing pple speak cantonese, and all things 粤.. or HK that I so love. Really loved 家好月圆 cos the family owned a traditional chinese cake shop. I love love love egg tarts and 老婆饼s!! Was rather fascinated with the bridal cakes and all too. Will definitely go check out 恒香 when I go to HK again. Which is gonna happen this July btw!! Just wait till I book my flight!!

Methinks I could really settle down in HK... love all the food... the idea of 凉茶, dimsum, 汤 (which I really take for granted right now), and all the other super duper yummy food. Culture-wise... the things that they value are quite similar to what S'poreans value I suppose... which is what makes them so enterprising and such shrewd businessmen. Maybe only abit scared at their focus on money and materialism la. But having said that, I think it's a chinese thing la. Most S'poreans also like tt mah. Just a matter of whether u want to buy into it or not that's all.

Yest SH was surprised when I said I can't really speak cantonese.. cos cantonese pple are usually quite proud of their lang/culture/heritage and all. I know la.. 真丢脸 right... but what to do... never get to use mah. Now only get to hear it when I watch my canto dramas lor. I suppose the amt tt I can now understand has improved tremendously but..it still comes out wrong when I want to speak! Aargh.. same bloody prob for my mandarin :( But well, if I do manage to get off my ass and work on this new idea I've been thinking about for a while now, maybe the inability to speak cantonese can be rectified! *dreams*

Actually been trying to craft a post for the last few days but it's just not coming out correctly. As in, it's lacking a proper form of expression. So I'm just gonna do the usual random kaopehs, and 2 songs. :D

Kaopeh #1
They just keep getting younger... =_=

Kaopeh #2
Do I really have the aunt agony face?? Wait, these pple don't even need to see me before they start! They just decide to whine to me all of a sudden. Like really whine ok, it's not even the snarky kinda kaopeh leh :S Guys should not whine so much la!

Ok, kaopeh over. Share this song with u guys... discovered it recently, altho I had to search for translation to try and understand the lyrics, but I was really drawn to the melody and voice at first :)



And me being slow, cos for some reason... didn't really listen much to this particular Jay Chou album... also just discovered this song. Loveeee the whole R&B beat to it! (if u can get past his super action dancing)

This song is my latest craze. Yes, I know I'm slow... but can't be helped cos JJ decided to start this (very nice) song with some rather lameass weird intro and all. So if u listen, pls skip the first 55 secs or so. Wasn't until recently tt I realised tt the song is actually quite nice. I usually just skip it on my ipod cos the beginning sounds so cha-chat.

Anyway... GE is finally over!!! Yay.. no more duty, slightly lesser stress and more Public Hols! haha. And also looking forward to some relatively exciting weekends ahead!

被"拒绝"的感觉




Feeling abit emo tonight.. altho the song is really quite abit of an exaggeration. Haha. Have been listening to my canto songs a great deal these days tho! Anyway, 被"拒绝"也好啦。。。因为希望越多,失望也更加多!:p 算了! Will post sthg frivolous to make myself happy. This is my latest 帅哥 craze..the irresistably honest and decent looking 马浚伟!



Ok.. granted it's not a really good photo of him..but quite reflective of his character in the show I'm currently watching. And his co-lead is damn chio la, in my opinion. But of course, 有帅哥,一定要有美女吗...hmm..那我的帅哥到底在哪里呢?Haha ok it's late, crapping too much. Off to bed! 希望会有美梦吧!
