short stories
love:it's amazing how relationships progress. such an unpredictable curve it is, picking up at reckless speeds, at times crawling at snail's pace and sometimes turbulent as hell. she found it excruciating at the beginning, putting someone else first and sharing personal thoughts etc but the past year taught her something simple. you can only be a better person if you open up your thoughts to others (cautiously of cos as there's nothing worse than a pain-in-the-ass open book storyteller). simply amazing how talking can bring two people much closer together again.
ps: morbid thoughts "what you love will kill you". an idea for film no?

leisure and friends:
went for randy, nic and christina's celebration of their fly-by-night win last night at The Pond, niap heng's photo studio which incidently was one of the most impressive she's visited so far over years of personal/work trips to studio shoots. a moment of envy there (sigh).
anyhoo, the guys celebrated the wins by screening a couple of other funny films. a fellow mate's short feature aptly titled DIARRHOEA kinda disturbed her. somehow excessive and frequent aural and visual depiction of two dudes' evacuation of watery feces over bad chilli crabs for 8 minutes is not really her kind of award winning humour. to each his own i guess cos she much prefered randy and team's work. heh, give her stephen chow anytime baby.
on a separate note, embarassed herself when she ran into a(n) uni mate jocelyn at the party and got the name wrong. jeez bee, you could've done better.
had a cracking time talking to trish, alfred and nic while the rest were busy filming outside and others scaring shit with ghost stories. the two dudes are fucking hilarious (without much intoxication even) as the conversation went from ipods (how we should kill ourselves for paying the prices we did), to saving the world with greenhouses and laptops (which will never happen here cos gahmen won't be able to profit on electricity bills) and how nic never has to need to buy anything, really, he gets most of his tech stuff for free, cept for his computer. what the $#%? haha.

work:
trish and i decided we'll probably stay in the industry for a while despite all the whines and long term goals blah. we're agency people, we live and breathe advertising and it's hard to move out of it cos most things just seem unattractive or stuffy to us now.
oh fuck it.
conversation of the night:
bee: hey, i'm going to bangkok in jan
trish: oh? when?
bee: can't remember exact dates cept its over the weekend and i'd only need to take one day off monday cos tues's a public hol
trish: take a day off? you working already meh?
bee: wah lau bitchy sia (heh). i would kick my ass if i'm not working by then lor.
music: sash's just around the hill
