Back to me again....... :P

Life's been blissful and peaceful. I've been enjoying my time and doing all that I love, as usual. The highlights about me for the past 3 months, I became a screen writer, producer and director.

Co-wrote a movie with Prince and now we are working on more scripts and ideas. Helped a friend to produce and directed half of a corporate video. Now our next corporate video is in talks. I am having fun. :)

Maybe I shouldn't call myself a director yet because I am still learning from real directors, hence I am still a wannabe. LOL As for screen writer, I guess I can call myself a screenwriter now as I have had completed a full length feature script and registered my name for copyright as the owner of the script. As for being the producer part, (thats new too) I should say, yeah why not? I am in the producer team of 2 registered company. :)

Actually what I am trying to share here is.... Have you seen YES MAN the movie by Jim Carrey? The basic principle is to say "yes" to new situations, leaving the negativism aside. The thing is, the worst you get from trying is to be laugh upon should you fail. But if you don't try, nothing will ever happen and get going in your life. So which is worst? I'd rather be laugh at then to let my life slip away. Just a thought.....

Coffee - 咖啡厅

我就爱喝咖啡. I love my coffee breaks. 有很多时候话不必多说. 只要一杯香浓咖啡再加上一首百听不厌的歌, 什么难事都能解决. It is the only time that one will truly stay calm and give serious thoughts to resolve any matters in life. It works for me at least. 当然, 单纯的喝咖啡也是人生一大享受. Tea works the same too. Enjoy. :)

Dear Mr Le Novo

I'm into romance this season. Got myself "divorced" and "remarried" on the same day. LOL

In case you are wondering, I'm talking about termination of my old broadband contract and signed on for the new one. Its a commitment of 24 months before my next hunt for a new toy. Sounds like the modern marriage these days isn't it? This "arranged marriage" promised me a brand new toyboy(Laptop) Mr Le Novo who will be sitting on my lap and sleeping in my room for the next 30 months at least. Purrrrr.......

The thing is, I don't even know how Mr Le Novo looks like. Gosh... Please be gorgeous! But his character and parentage (specs) sounds good on paper. He has the bloodline of IBM and an Intel inside with acceptable memory. Of course I'll add additional memory in him just in case he forgets things like my birthday... LoL Crossing my fingers!

I can't wait to meet Mr Le Novo in mid May. Meow....

I don't know what got over me

Its so hard to get myself back to reading. I was at borders earlier hoping to find some interesting books. Yet I got quite upset with a book I picked from the shelf because I wasted 10 minutes of my life on it. The title was interesting but the content was not what I hoped for. The author did not come to her point but going in circles. It contained nothing but back ups from researches. The best part was it didn't live up to its title. Then Prince located me at the psychology section and asked if I found anything interesting. I got up from my seat with that book and I almost burst. I don't know why I got so upset, not with Prince of course but the book. Maybe I felt cheated. I went on complaining about the book. Then I tried to find some titles that I thought would interest me. Prince then asked me what I was looking for. "I don't know. Some stuff on sociopath or criminal psycho would be nice." I replied. Maybe I replied too fast. It was then I felt a few heads turn towards me with dropped jaws. They must have thought I am a psycho in the making. LOL Too much crime channels on cable lately maybe....

I went on to the history section. I was hoping to get a good deal from the discounted racks but again I found nothing. Prince after making his payment joined me again and offer his help once more. "They seem to have nothing but ang moh history. Nothing about China." Then a nice man replied "Here's one! I'm sorry but I heard you." I thanked him on the spot but it was a photography book not what I was looking for but even then I felt good and a smile came back to my face.

I don't know what got over me today. But I'm quite sure its my PMS plus I had fallen ill for a week has got something to do with it. Mood swings maybe? I concluded I was just angry at myself for not reading those books I spent hundreds of dollars on (guilt) and upset that I couldn't find my joy in reading (no motivation). Anyway reading is a habit that needs to be cultivated on daily basis. I'll just have to work on to get over it.

Prince and I went on to watch a movie "A single man". It was directed by a first time director who used to be a fashion designer from Gucci. Costume and set design looks very pretty. It was sexy. Half the time Prince and I were whispering to each other "This shot looks like a fashion shoot!" "Did I see or hear Wong Kar Wai?" . It turned out the movie sound track was indeed the same composer who had worked on Wong Kar Wai's film.

During supper, we compared this movie to "My rainy days" which I referred to jokingly as the "Japanese porn movie" because of its movie poster. Of course it was nothing of that sort. It was a love story. Interestingly both shared some common elements. I shall not review too much here. Nah. No spoilers.
