i still love the sight of a plane in a sky.
it never cease to amaze me, this wonderful invention.
my heart flutters and do a little dance within.
i think watching planes take off into the sky is one of the most romantic things to do.
watching it slowly fade into the dark velvet blanket,
on its way to the other side of the world.
i could definitely do this all night.
the romance of travel lives on.

don't want the fun to end
i am reading an awesome book.
i can't stop turning the pages,
but somehow i am restraining myself from reading it.
it is like i don't want it to end,
cause i know,
when i down to the final pages,
i am going to feel this tinge of sadness,
that something good has come to an end.

can i just say that Roald Dahl is brillant, brillant, brillant!
even at the ripe old age of 25,
i am still memerised, entralled, cpativated by his stories.
imgine that. 10 years down the road, and i am still enjoying the stories,
maybe even more than ever.
armed with an extra 15 years of experience,
i am now reading through a very different set of eyes,
thereby enjoying the book in an older, wiser way.
recently bought a Roald Dhal book -Boy/Going Solo where he speaks about fragments of his life which he could remember and their impacts on his writing.
terribly interesting!
now i know why he portrays certain characters as such.
highly recommended to all.
we are never too old nor young to read roald dahl.

i feel lousy.
and sorry for those kids.
there are really horrible mothers out there,
who don't give a shit about their children,
who forgets their strength,
and go round slapping their kids,
treating them like animals.
if it is already like that in public,
i cannot imagine what it is like at home.
i spent the whole of yesterday reading the lost symbol by dan brown.
got to say Da Vinci Code is still the best.
i have read angels and demons too.
and i realised that it was basically more or less the same,
which gets boring after a while.
during the first half of the book i was reading reading.
after that i was just skiming through what Langdon had to say.
the thing with dan brown is that,
the terms that he used could be pretty cheeem.
or maybe it is just me, but i had to re-read some stuff just to get the idea.
you buy a book and you want to enjoy it without thinking much.
like going on a holiday, you are doing it more so for pleasure rather than anything else.
or maybe again, it is just me.
i am pretty sure this will be the last dan brown book that i am reading,
unless it is an entirely new plot altogether.
P.S i am going to get re- acquainted with Singapore.

mirror mirror on the wall.
this is what my single male friend has to say:
men are all bastards.
you just got to pick the least bastard of them all.
and then my question would be:
how would you know which one is the least bastard of them all?
if only i had that tell-all mirror in snow white and the seven dwarfs.
"mirror mirror on the wall, who is the least bastard of them all?"
but then again, ultimately the answer that you received from the mirror,
is just the reflection of what you truly desire of in your heart.
the heart holds the answer.
it just might not be the correct one.

and so i am busy doing up my cover letter and resume to be sent out to prospective employers for an internship.
the only form of working experience which is not rubbish is my stint with SQ,
and while reading through, i was so tempted to put in an additional point which i feel should be commendable.
Singapore Airlines (nov 2006-Nov 2008)
Flight Attendant
-managed to successfully survived SQ for 2 years without any physical nor emotional damage.
now that is an accomplishment!

don't ask me why
but right at this moment,
i feel like the stupidest, most silly, most foolish person around.
doodle jump
i recently downloaded this game called "doodle jump" onto my iphone.
At the beginning, i was enjoying it tremendously.
i slowly got familiar with the game, and obviously became better at it.
but now, i seem to have hit the wall.
my scores have become stagnant, and i seem to be hovering around the 20,000 odd mark.
i have tried many times to better my score, but seem to fail everytime.
and i am getting tired of trying.
like with everything in life,
you can try and try and try,
but with each failure,
it just gets more difficult to convince yourself to try again.
you think, maybe this is highest score that i can achieve.
maybe this is the furthest that i can go.
maybe this is the best that i can do.
and then ultimately, (unless you manage to beat that score)
i will internalise, accept and believe that this is the best of my abilities.
but is it really the best of my abilities?
which is what differentiates people.
some are persistent (and they just might end up reaping the benefits, not all the time though)
some give up after a few tries, ( they end up not realising their full potential, or maybe they just accept the fact that you can't be good at everytime, and "at least i tried.")
some don't bother trying.
i reckon you just need to have constant progession in your life to feel like you are indeed moving along.
and i am going back to my game. to try again :)

the ugly truth
the truth may be ugly,
but at least my world is painted in black and white,
just the way i like it.
