We all wear different masks for different reasons.
Some masks we put on because its truly who we want to be. Some we wear because we can’t bear to face what’s really underneath.
Or because its what someone else needs us to be. Or some masks we wear because we hope to stay hidden.
But that’s the problem with wearing masks, they can be ripped off at any moment.

You Are the Apple of My Eye (那些年，我們一起追的女孩) is a 2011 Taiwanese romance film based on the story of the same name by Taiwanese author Giddens. The film stars actor Ko Chen-Tung, who plays Ko Ching-Teng (柯震東), a prankster and a mischievous student who eventually becomes a writer and actress Michelle Chen as Shen Chia-yi (沈佳宜), an honor student who is very popular amongst the boys in her class. [wiki]
‘Ko-Teng has several close friends who had a crush on Shen Chia-Yi. Those friends of Ko’s thus moved in unison from Ching Chengs junior high school straight into the senior high school division in pursuit of her.
Naughty in nature, Ko was ordered by their homeroom teacher to sit in front of honor student Shen for her to keep close tabs on him. The two hadn’t hit it off at first but Ko gradually fell for Shen, who was always pressuring him to study hard. On the other hand, Shen became impressed by the contrasting values Ko represented. Ko started pursuing Shen but Shen remained hesitant.
After graduation from senior high, Ko and Shen almost became a couple but the deal was spoilt by a dukeout competition organized by Ko. Growing up together to witness their beloved Shen walking down the aisle to become someone else’s wife, these boys have learned their coming-of-age lessons and continue to pursue their happiness.’
“I want to watch this!” when I first saw the poster and even more after watching the trailer. Managed to catch this movie yesterday thou late but I’m glad I did. This film is heartwarming, not only does it makes you laugh, it tucks the strings of your heart. Re-living the sweet & childish memories during school times and your first love.
The film brings you through 3 phrases – high school, university and the aftermath. Each part illustrates a different phase and level of the relationship. And you can’t help but wonder on those times that you may have allow fate to slip through your fingertips.
很简单，很感动。青春，应该就是这样吧，很热血，也很单纯。爱，要勇敢说出来，错过了，就只能遗憾。
=)

Took a little longer than usual to blog about Day 3 because my schedule was packed for the entire month of Sept & Oct – birthdays, gatherings and more birthdays. Am glad that everything came to an end (am 1 year older too *cries) and its nearing Christmas too. *jumps*
And so… Day 3 begins with breakfast at Q-Square foodcourt and I’m impressed (not anymore cause MBS has the same concept) with the classy interiors and the place was neat.

A 2010 movie starring starring Aarif Lee, Janice Man & Janice Vidal. And the story utilizes various songs and themes that are related to late famous Hong Kong pop-star Leslie Cheung
” Ever since Wing (Janice Vidal) was a toddler, her father and grandfather weaved the tale that Winnie’s mother works for Santa Claus. Until Wing turns twenty does the incredible truth finally dawns on her when she accidentally opens a freezing chamber in his grandfather’s laboratory and resurrects a mysterious young woman inside. And this woman is none other than her long lost mother, Gigi (Janice Man), who has been cyronically frozen since a fatal car accident twenty years ago.
Still very much a teenager, Gigi is shaken not only by the presence of a daughter physically older than her but also by the devastating news that her idol Leslie Cheung has passed away during her long slumber. To make up for lost time, she sets off with Wing in search of her boyfriend, Kit (Aarif Lee), who is Wing’s biological father. The Kit that Gigi used to know was a dashingly handsome young man fully convinced he would become a pop star some day. When Gigi and Winnie finally locate him, he has already dwindled into a grumpy middle-aged vagabond having his life sucked out of him. When the newly met mother and daughter finally manage to rekindle the fire within Kit, he realizes all too late that Gigi’s days on this brave new world are actually numbered.”
Editor’s Note: The core relationship of the movie is not about Wing & Gigi but more on Gigi and Kit. The sentimental indulgence walk with incessant flashbacks to Gigi and Kit’s high school love. Enjoy!

are just the right words.
Words of love/care & concern can change everything to make your sky blue with rainbows again.
Whereas words of hurt just because your sky is oh-so-gloomy could bring both worlds crashing down. And that sometimes, are beyond repair.
Doesn’t matter who’s suppose to make the move first, just cause you are blue means everyone have to give in or “you know he/she is like this” and let it go.
Being upset/angry makes one vulnerable and crave for the comfort needed to fill the void and restore. When one is deprived, it attacks – scarred. As time goes, the lesser the feeding (getting fussy; higher expectations), the deeper the void and craving gets.
But one can overcome. Control how negativity overtakes/overlooks everything that once makes your heart skip a beat.
Take a shower, count to 10 and take a deep breath, take a good rest, take chocolates.
Then indulge in reminiscence.
The sunshine that once shine upon your life, the silly smile you had thinking god has descend an angel down to you.
Everyone likes/wants a happy ending, don’t they?
So say, it takes two hands to clap but really? One can only rely on themselves to heal their soul and make things work.

You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You could be the one I’ll always love
You could be the one who listens
To my deepest inquisitions
You could be the one I’ll always love
I’ll be there as soon as I can
But I’m busy mending broken
Pieces of the life I had before
First there was the one who challenged
All my dreams and all my balance
She could never be as good as you
You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You should be the one I’ll always love
I’ll be there as soon as I can
But I’m busy mending broken
Pieces of the life I had before
I’ll be there as soon as I can
But I’m busy mending broken
Pieces of the life I had before
Before you
“The lyrics tell the story of a person coming out of depression because they have recently found happiness from love, and they now wish to see their life through to the end. The video features many lovers ‘blending’ around each other as Matthew Bellamy and the band sit around looking sad” — Wiki
Haven been here for awhile, the longer I stop blogging, the harder it is to even start. Shall try on my Taiwan trip, no promises (look what happen to my HongKong ones).
