who am i waiting for ?

was talking to my friend about this pretty girl I met today who knew my name before I could intro myself to her ...

and this friend of mine told my other friend who buzz me and ask me to khau her ... if she is single, don't wait and regret later in life

then I told him (that the other friend) that I am waiting for the last customer who will not leave my cafe and spend time talking to me about my unsold blueberry pies.

isn't it great if we are living in Wong Kar Wai's world?

Turmoil of the Human Heart

I realized how easily it is to make a film that I will love ... let me tell u how (specially those who are film maker wannabe)

It was another windy day ... I pull the curtain up and saw the trees swaying mesmerising in front of me .. I was thinking of the floating yellow flowers from yesterdays and wondering that for every songs that I like or search for, must there be a story to it ? ... (John words echoing in my mind)

then my thoughts strayed into movie ... It felt like it was a scene that i seen it before and it wasn't just one movie ...

the first one that i remember was A Bittersweet life, it had a monologue about a monk and his disciple, pondering about the swaying trees and leaves ...

"Master, are the branches moving or is it the wind?"

to which the monk enlighten his disciple that

Not even glancing to where his pupil was pointing ... "That which moves is neither the branches nor the wind ... It's your hert and mind."

hmmm then it occur to me ... that wasn't the first time that a movie which I loved begin with a similar message like the one above ... and it came to me ... Ashes of Time also had one of such message flash before the movie started ...

The flags are still,
No wind blows...
It's the heart of man that's in turmoil

I am such a sucker for such message .... I remember that by the first monologue of A Bittersweet Life and the message appearing in Ashes of Time, I had already somewhat fell in love with the film already ...

Nothing is Right or Wrong but Thinking made it So ...

Deleted Scenes from Fallen Angel

was at wongkarwai.net and someone posted some deleted scenes of Wong Kai Wai (WKW)'s Fallen Angel

Fallen Angel is not one of my my favourite WKW movie but usage of "Only You" by the Flying Pickets created a whole new feel to the film segment and it made me want to watch this film again ... hmmm the power of editing ! what a waste that WKW didn't include this scene into the final cut of Fallen Angel

But then again ... wastage is just another WKW trademark

Someone in the forum commented about that regretful kiss at the end of the scene and it was those type of moments that I love about WKW's Movie ... and of cos his choice of music ...



my New Earworm : )

is the apartment getting more tearful?

like a scene from Chungking Express

[Cop663 finds his apartment is flooded]

Cop663: Did I leave the tap running, or is the apartment getting more tearful? I always thought it would cope okay. Didn't expect it to cry so much. When people cry, they can dry their eyes with tissues. But when an apartment cries, it takes a lot to mop it up.

Today my shower tap broke, thanks to my sister's maid ... and oh boy the tap was blasting out like no tomorrow .... had to force the tap back .... a situation that I didn't really want to find myself in but hey ... since things come forcing their way, I just had to bit the bullet and fix it once n for all ...

lucky i was able to screw the tap back but it continue to leak ... only when we off the main, then we are able to stop the water from flowing out from the tap ... when my Mom took a shower, I had to on n off the water from the main source.

so funny ... my apartment seems like its getting as emotional as Cop663's one ... but I just didnt expect it to bawl like that ... I wonder how to console my apartment
