CHRISTMAS IS AROUND THE CORNERRR!!! counting today as tmr (since i havent slept) we are EXACTLY 2 weeks away from christmas. =) i love christmas, i honestly do. it may not have any religious meaning to me, but i love the spirit of christmas, just - literally- for the fun of it! love the joy, cheer, carols (ahh! i dig christmas carols!), etc- absolutely dig it.


so yea, just to indulge myself in the festive spirit a little, i went to re-watch this movie (love actually) which many people have raved about (a long long time ago). i, sadly, on the other hand, never did have as fantastic an opinion of it- that is until today la. i point the blame to!!! a bladder on HIIIGGHH from liquid overdose. oh heck man, my greatest memory of the movie was nothing from the movie itself. it was rather, the way i was squirming on the seat during the final 30 mins of it, wondering "WHEN the blardy hell will it end?!" and also the hillarious mad and VERY LOOONNNNGGGG dash for the toilet with ili, kamielah and a few -i think 3?- other bpians after the movie. (we were at westmall's cinema can u imagine?! right at the end i think! oh goodness...) WOOH! a day of bladder hyperactivity. but osh, i got distracted, my point was simply that, the first time i watched it, "love actually" was farrrrr from being LOVE actually... it was more of a I-JUST-WANT-TO-PEEEEEE-SO-HURRY-UP-AND-GET-OVER-THE-HAPPILY-EVER-AFTER actually (HAHA not funny - but c'mon it's in the middle of the night, give my absent brain a break =D)


but ya, re-running it was nice... =)) it was [generally] the classic uplifting awwww fuzzy wuzzy feeling kinda festive movie.. EXCEPT that i was watching the uncensored version of the movie with some highly disturbing scenes- like seriously- so many many fast forwardings there... i will not go into the sordid details- but ya =S eww gross. as i said, heartwarming on the general feel. i especially like the way the movie started and ended at the same place : Heathrow airport arrivals gate. i'll quote,


“Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at the Heathrow airport. General opinion is starting to make out we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that; seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there- fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the twin towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people onboard were messages of hate or revenge; they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that love actually, is all around.”


awww, sweet ah? other thn the mushy romance stuff, there was also quite a bit of humour peppered here and there throughout the movie as well. billy mack the old comeback singer was always a laugh- "Hiya kids. Here is an important message from your Uncle Bill. (super serious expression) Don't buy drugs. [long pause] -Become a pop star, and they give you them for free." LOLOL rowan atkinson played this part of a salesperson in the movie as well!! "lovely!" oh man, he was damn funny in the way he tormented the poor dude (his customer) ... anyway, me being me, also absolutely ADORE the little boy sam in the movie. =D (*note: daniel= his step dad; sam just lost his mum btw and daniel's really worried cus sam's been crying alot)


Daniel: So what's the problem, Sammy-o? Is it just Mum or is it something else? Maybe... school - are you being bullied? Or is it something worse? Can you give me any clues at all?

Sam: You really want to know?

Daniel: I really want to know.

Sam: Even though you won't be able to do anything to help?

Daniel: Even if that's the case, yeah.

Sam: Okay. Well, the truth is... actually... I'm in love.

Daniel: Sorry?

Sam: I know I should be thinking about Mum all the time, and I am. But the truth is I'm in love and I was before she died, and there's nothing I can do about it. [grave expression wakakaka!!]

Daniel: [laughs] Aren't you a bit young to be in love?

Sam: No. [his expression! LOL!]

Daniel: Oh, well, okay, right. Well, I mean, I'm a little relieved.

Sam: Why?

Daniel: Well, because I thought it would be something worse.

Sam: [incredulous- HAHAAHHAHA u shd see his face] Worse than the total agony of being in love?

Daniel: Oh. No, you're right. Yeah, total agony.



awww!! SO CUTE! =DDD


anyway, the CENSORED version would be recommended =) u should find it anywhere, just don't get it off the net =) and er, if u need more reasons to watch it, it's got plenty more sweet and funny and slightly sad segments to boot, AND!!! AND AND AND AND AAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!! HUGH GRANT is in it!! AHHH!! that's absolutely THE reason to catch it!


so there, be good and watch it to be on the "nice" list ya? =)





grunts off,


SANDY KLAWS!!! [SK geddit?! =D]

Hey. I'm from the UK, and haven't been able to find a censored version of the film anywhere. Do you know where I could get a copy?
Thanks

I think it's time to start afresh, right up from ground zero. Funny to attempt a rebirth of character at a quarter of a century, I know. (okay, i confess i struggled between whether I'm a quarter of a decade or quarter of a century old). But well, some things have to be done! To quote my favouritest female singer-songwriter; my (sort-of) life inspiration; "to give yourself a new life, you have to give the other one away". I am famous for holding on too tightly to the past. Perhaps it's time to let good, let go. Seek forgiveness, and also forgive myself for old wrongdoings, whether or not I truly deserve it (who's to judge?). Life simply must not be spent wallowing in the past. (For we are not warthogs, hakuna matata) So-  Hello world, again.  (: sk p/s: #(parenthesesabuse)

“I've gained more from serving my patients than I have given to them; it's a privilege to be a healthcare professional. Indeed, it's in giving that we receive, and in losing ourselves that we find ourselves” - Dr Phillip Yap Well said Dr Yap. 4 years of bond is quickly drawing to an end. As I sit here rather aimlessly, waiting for time to pass in preparation for my night shift tomorrow, the late hours has allowed me some quiet time for reflections. When was the last time I did this?! (It's appalling!) Looking back on the past 4 years, I wondered which lessons and emotions stood out the most. Is it the resentment from the occasional unhappy episodes at office, or the 委屈 from the random angry patient? I suppose I really did have my fair share of those. But above everything else, I still relish the fulfillment that I get from knowing that I have made a difference to a patient today (teehee, look at that confidence XD). I said this same thing to a couple of close friends ...

A much needed, incoherent rant.

When things get sensationalised, i wonder, do we think before we react? I keep trying to be absolutely objective in making a decision. Then i realise, honestly, it's quite the impossible thing to do. You see, this thing called selective perception and selective attention is something that people fall to, almost everytime. And this is not an academic smoke piece. Considering things properly, people believe what they wish to believe, and once that thought catches on i guess pretty much anything can be twisted to suit your desired perception- whatever it is you want. Perhaps it's a natural cognitive process. It is just that much easier to have a stand and fit evidences to it, than to view evidences before making a stand. I tried to exercise objectivity, and think from both sides, their individual merits and demerits, before making a stand. i tried to compare to politics in other countries, look back deep into our own history and others', look at real trends before i make a dec...
