pondering...
*knock knock* "have u ever thought of what you really wanted in life?" *silence... long pause* Happiness?
sometimes, i really wonder... have i moved on? if not, why not? why am i living in those unrequitted memories? why should i even be sad about it?
at hindsight, i must admit that i always think about the past. most recently, on childhood. the naive, happy times.
friends of my own age have started to think how good it is being a child, then. why? answer:do not have much to worry. i remembered myself replying to a friend on this months ago... "but, we won't know the meaning of true happiness until we managed through the hard and sour times in life, right? if everything sails smoothly, most likely, we won't appreciate happiness as much as one who've experienced more of a down side in life." afterall, happiness is really hard to come by. especially for people who always look back in the path of life... i guess?
[listening to: Jay Chou's ::Qing Tian::]
"hope everyone finds his/her own piece of clear blue sky."
...aiyo... raining now... ('_')"'

A chance encounter leads to another separation...
Turn Left Turn Right is based on the best-selling illustrated love story of the same name by renowned Taiwanese author/artist Jimmy Liao.
The film tells a simple, whimsical story of a lonely man, John Liu and woman, Eve Choi, who live in the same apartment building. Yet, due to their habitually quirky comings and goings, never meet there.
He, as former student pass #763092, is a struggling classical violinist who excels in Edward Elgar’s Six Very Easy Pieces; she, as #784533, is a Polish-Chinese translator who loves reciting verses from Wislawa Szymborska's "Love At First Sight" and has an overactive imagination to boot.
They actually fell in love with each other since their school days but did not have the chance to actually talk and become friends... until after 13 years....
Following is a chance meeting at a park, events, meddling acquaintances and pure bad luck which conspires to keep the would-be lovers apart as each makes plans to change their lives and leave the past behind.
"watched this show with siewmay & junwen just now. this show involves alot of laughter and tears. 3 stars!"

Overview of the last few days
5th Sept
VS (Evening of Music and Drama) concert. i really must apologise for i was late for about an hour, if i am not wrong. i reached home quite late, as i waited for my dad to pick me up after buying a new shirt at northpoint. i didn't have anymore clothes in my wardrobe as most are kept in the box, waiting to be shifted again to my new house. i decided to wait for my dad since i'll take a shorter time to reach home than taking the mrt & buses. unfortunately, i was still late. must thank weixiang, for waiting at the bus stop; touring his school (their school's superb!)& sharing a cab with me.
the concert was not bad. i think their head prefect's performance was pretty well done. he was playing two roles by himself, of a woman and a man, entitled "the coffin is too big for the hole". hahaz.
their principal's very funny larhz. he addressed the audience near the end of the concert. he said sth like, "it's nice to see a number of young ladies with us tonight. it shows that vs guys are sociable and we need not be a mixed school..." & also told the girls among the audience that we have time to go out, but we must also concentrate on our studies.
after the concert, we went to old airport road (er...the name's something like that) to eat... urm should be supper. must thank everyone for accomodating to me, cos they helped me find a place where there're vegetarian stalls.
6th Sept
CNL concert. their repertoire's great. Purr-fect!! the woodwind quintet was especially impressive.
after the concert, i together with our band members then went to aljunied to have supper. xumao joined us too. also must thank him for waiting with us for our buses despite nearing midnight.
by the time we reached toa payoh, the mrt stopped operating already. reached home at 1am by cab. another tiring but fun day.
7th Sept
SunYanZi's autograph session. sigh. i didn't have the chance to have my cd + weekiat's signed after queing for almost 3 hours.
the worse thing next is, i had my "emotional explosion" in front of junwen. i swear (to myself) never to talk about the same thing in future. then, we went to sembawang park and talked and talked and... talked. although the place was quite crowded & noisy, looking and listening to the sea waves comforted the emotionally, physically & mentally-fatigued me.
8th Sept
"Empowering lives, designing destinies", was Adam Khoo company's slogan. his associates came to my school to give the graduating classes a one day's seminar, that will never bore people. I learnt quite alot and the seminar boosted my half-dead motivation spirit. there're 2 speakers. but, mr steward tan is my favourite speaker. other graduating classes thought alike. though mr adam khoo isn't present, i still managed to get my book autographed by his good friend, mr steward tan.
