well I'd be a pod

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, let the cold winds blow

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were the wood, I'd be the fire.
If you were the love, I'd be the desire.
If you were a castle, I'd be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float.

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

JUNO

I was lamenting the other day how it now takes so much more to move an audience, to touch people. The more we are exposed to movies/films/books/art, the higher the standard we set, the greater the expectation, the more it takes to evoke some sort of emotion. Not that we become desensitized, there just is a greater hunger for something more, it is like eating durians, once you've tried D24 durians, the sweetness will leave you hungering for XO durians, and you'll no longer settle for those fifty cents ones.

And just when I felt that I was no longer able to find my XO durian in movies, I watched this show today which left me gushing, laughing, crying and gushing. Juno is not just a comedy about teenage preganancy, it is about love, about life, about living, about familial relations, about responsibilities, about choices, about coping and dealing. I hate speaking about it in such airy-fairy ambiguous concepts, everyone should go catch it. Natural yet witty, funny yet endearing, I cannot remember the last movie I watched that I felt so much for.

I am not bothering to be more objective or critical because this show is PURE ABSOLUTE BRILLIANCE. I love the part when she says, "I need to know it is possible that two people can stay happy together forever."

For a day

I wish I've more time to think and write. The months are flying by so quickly, one-sixth of the year has gone by and it seemed like yesterday that new goals for the new year were drawn.

During Deviance lecture today, Dr Gana fused the need to have a date on VALENTINE'S DAY with Durkheim's thoughts on Suicide!



At the train station just now, there was a guy with a huge bouquet of roses passing the gantry, there was another teenager, who was mildly embarrassed when his eyes met mine, with a stuffed toy flower protruding out of his paper bag. At a gift shop which was just about to close,a man rushed in, asking if they sold ribbons. "Yes, that kind! Heng ah..." A bunch of my single friends are going to town tomorrow to celebrate. It is quite amazing, there is an energy of anticipation hanging in the air, everyone is a little excited, I think, the singles and the couples alike, over a day that is purely purely a social construct. Okay, here's to a great day of overflowing LOVE, it only happens once a year! :D
