they say that the first thing you look for in a partner is a quality that you do not possess.

and i agree.

in him i found a zen-like calmness – the yin to my short-fused and erratic yang.

today, i met ben gibbard and enjoyed an intimate 15 minute conversation with him. he was incredibly sweet, engaging and oddly enough, zen in his choice of words. allow me to quote him:

“you can’t see the forest from the trees.” – benjamin gibbard

and in three hours time, i will finally get to see my favouritest band of all time play live after two missed connections (once in SG, another in LA).

i am happy.

in other news, just got back from dublin and paris with my man and that makes me happy too! the dry skin and the settling of cold in my bones, not so fab.

but yes, i am happy!

it’s been a while, but i just want to say that i’m so glad i’ve found a lifelong mate – never mind his hissy fits due to my inability to predict the weather and to be on time (especially for movies and flights (eh chill leh!)

d is for detachment and a is for… well, the beginning of the alphabet.

i don’t know what i’m talking about. i’ve just emerged from an arduously trying night but at least i’ve got two things to be thankful for

1. my okra seeds have finally germinated

2. season finale of boardwalk empire 2, bitches.

whot!

am listening to one of jay chou’s latest output and all i can say is..

WHOT?!?!?

autotuned beyond recognition coupled with cringe-worthy lyrics. a vast difference from the jay chou i used to chase around in a taxi ten years ago, and the first few albums (especially his debut) that i love so much.

of course, musical directions evolve over time, but i’d to believe this negative change is due to pressure – after all, artistes have a record label to answer to and shit like that. i think that maybe he just go on a loooong hiatus and chew on his cud for awhile before coming out with something fresh, instead of churning out inferior music yearly just cos his company tells him to.

and also.. WHAT’S UP with his fashion sense?! dude needs a stylist pronto, or at least he should fire his current one. really, knuckle bruisers and fur jackets?!
