Warren Ellis on JLU

He writes the best dialogue. Period. I actually smirked when I saw this:

[Batman falling from a great height]

"Batman to all points, I could use some air support"

[Beat]

"Since I can’t fly"

[Beat]

"At all"

[Beat] [Still falling and almost reaching the ground]

"Now would be good"

[Superman swoops in to save him]

I'm sorry but I just had a Sheldon moment. (See the Big Bang Theory)

Eason songs in my iPod (shuffle)

Eason aren't you glad? Your concert's a sellout.



"and as the world turns on and on, love is lost and love is won, laughed and cried when we were young"

"and did you ever see everything inside of me?"

that's just life for ya.



穿過人潮雙眼燈火欄柵 沒有想過回頭
一段又一段走不完的旅程 甚麼時候能走完
噢 我的 夢代表甚麼 又是甚麼讓我們不安

* That’s just life 尋找夢裡的未來
That’s just life 少點現實的無奈
不論風吹的時候 不再傍徨的時候
永遠向前 路一直都在

穿過一塊裡面一片黑暗 沒有想過回頭
一段又一段走不完的旅程 甚麼時候能習慣
噢 我的 夢代表甚麼 又是甚麼讓我們期盼

(repeat *)

看不清的路又算甚麼 看不清的夢又算甚麼
就算走到盡頭又能算甚麼 能算甚麼

(repeat *)

永遠向前 路一直都在
That’s just life 徘徊到不再徘徊
That’s just life 從來都不怕重來
沒有選擇的時候 無法選擇的時候
永遠向前 路一直都

Extremely catchy.

我也相信 路,一直都在。

Oh yeah. A 惨song.



我來到你的城市 走過你來時的路
想像著沒我的日子 你是怎樣的孤獨
拿著你給的照片 熟悉的那一條街
只是沒了你的畫面 我們回不到那天
你會不會忽然的出現 在街角的咖啡店
我會帶著笑臉 揮手寒喧 和你坐著聊聊天
我多麼想和你見一面 看看你最近改變
不再去說從前 只是寒喧
對你說一句 只是說一句 好久不見
拿著你給的照片 熟悉的那一條街
只是沒了你的畫面 我們回不到那天
你會不會忽然的出現 在街角的咖啡店
我會帶著笑臉 揮手寒喧 和你坐著聊聊天

我多麼想和你見一面 看看你最近改變
不再去說從前 只是寒喧
對你說一句 只是說一句 好久不見

Emo.

And a final nice song as well.

Good songs are meant to be shared.



愛情轉移。每次聽每次 emo。

I Dream of Aud (1965)

It was a weird dream. I was decked out in the light brown/beige Hwa Chu uniform and was wandering the assembly grounds of what I now recall to be Tao Nan School. There were hundreds of students there and on closer look, they were people I knew. Of particular notice, the Tataps were there. As a group. Not long after saying hi, the music started and the national anthem played.

Only it wasn't the national anthem.

I can't remember the music now but I saw the lines of students moving. If I weren't mistaken, they were either Bollywood dancing or linedancing. And I was moving too. Except that I think I looked more like I was performing the Great Singapore Workout.

After that unnerving experience, we were dismissed and I wandered the school grounds aimlessly. Scours of students were around and I wandered to this part of the school which resembled the corridor outside the current Law Library. That's when I looked up and saw Aud. She was being nice and said something that I couldn't hear. But it seemed like I understood her. Something about contacting the BLE.

My God. Even in my dream I was preoccupied about my bloody PLC. I felt this strange feeling that something was very wrong. I started to be aware of my surroundings and that it was rather... unnatural. Especially so was the fact that I was in school uniform and I think I was supposed to be in my PLC! Immediately I whipped out my handphone and dialed the number to the BLE (I stored it on my handphone okay~) Immediately the first thing I heard was "Is this that girl from just now? Is she calling back again? That Aud? Tell her her application is not ready yet, don't be so gan cheong."

That was weird. Frantically I tried to tell them "this has got to be a mistake! I don't belong here!" I was put on hold as they checked my particulars (which oddly enough I didn't give them) and then...

I woke up.

9:00 AM and the alarm was ringing.

Halfway through the first seminar of the day, I messaged Aud and told her that I dreamt of her. And of the dancing. She was nice enough to reply that she didn't mind a night out dancing if that was what I meant. But what I really meant to illustrate when I texted her was that I now believe that men can tell a girl that she was the girl in their dreams (the night before), and not have a sexual connotation to it.

In fact it was strangely bizarre. Hur hur hur.

Poking around online in search of the meaning of the bizarre dancing in my dream, I found this:

"To dream that you are dancing, signifies freedom from constraints and harmony/balance with yourself. You are working in cooperation with yourself. It also represents frivolity, happiness, gracefulness, sensuality and sexual desires. Alternatively, it may signify intimacy and a union of the masculine and feminine aspects of yourself.

To dream that you are attending or going to a dance, indicates a celebration and your attempts to achieve happiness. Consider the phrase the "dance of life" which suggests creation, ecstasy, and going with what life has to offer you.

To see children dancing in your dream, signifies that you will have a comfortable home, and healthy, well-behaved children in the future.

To see ritualistic dancing in your dream, denotes your need to get in touch with the spirit within.."

I know I'm working on something. That's for sure, but I'm not exactly happy at the moment with what life has to offer me. I THINK I saw children, is that a good sign? Was my lame attempt at dancing considered ritualistic? Hmm. If I see something supernatural tonight (within) I'll do up another lame blog post.

Moral of the story. I have fucking lame dreams that make no fucking sense at all.
