Imaginary Girlfriend

I am so shocked to find out that there is actually a website service to get an imaginary girlfriend. I won't release the web address though. It is quite funny (strange) to read about the service.

"Just make up how you met and include any details about yourself that you want your new girlfriend to know. Within days you'll receive personalized love letters by mail, e-mails, photos, special gifts... even phone messages or online chat. Every Imaginary Girlfriend is unique. The girls are real. The relationship is not. When your time is up you can break up with her for whatever reason you decide, and she'll write you a final letter begging you to take her back. Our service is easy-to-use, lots of fun, and discreet. "

I really cant believe this really exists. The service is U$45 for 2 months. Chances that my friend has an imaginary girlfriend is quite high. Maybe he dis subscribe the service.

Oh...according to the website, the reasons why people want imaginary girlfriend is that:

• Tired of your friends and family telling you to get a girlfriend?
• Want to make that certain someone a little jealous?
• Need a confidence boost?
• Just feeling lonely sometimes?

I think my friend fell into all of the above categories. For the record, I am NOT the one who is having the imaginary girlfriend. It is my friend, a REAL friend, not an imaginary friend.

Why I am so p***ed off with him is that he tried to compare with me on every single trivial things. He even commented me being single is "AS EXPECTED". WTF! Who the hell he is to judge. I am single and happy...lol

A song for whoever

I think it is the right thing to do by dedicating the following song to my friend and his girlfriend from my last blog entry...lol

Do you love me?

Or am I just another trip in this strange relationship?

You push and pull me and I'm about to loose my mind

Is this just a waste of time

keep acting like you own me

I keep running, watch me walking out that door

I hear you behind me

Gimme that strange relationship

Never felt pleasure and pain like this

Something so right but it feels so terribly wrong

I keep holding on

Gimme that strange relationship

One of us gotta let go of this

I keep pushing and you keep holding on

I'm already gone

Do you love me?

We break up and back together

And I swore to myself never

Oh how you do me

You strip me of my honor

And I don't ever think I'm gonna

Break free of these mind games

All I'm trying to do is modify my plan

'Cause I can't contain you

Gimme that strange relationship

Never felt pleasure and pain like this

Something so right but it feels so terribly wrong

I keep holding on

Gimme that strange relationship

One of us gotta let go of this

I keep pushing and you keep holding on

I'm already gone

You keep acting like you own me

I can't control me

You said you never really wanted me back

Well maybe if that's a fact

May I suggest

A brand new plan of attack

And in defense of that you're hard to crack

You're way off track

I want you back, I want you gone

Maybe I'm sick of holding on

Do you love me?

Or am I just another trip in this strange relationship?

Gimme that strange relationship

Never felt pleasure and pain like this

Something so right but it feels so terribly wrong

I keep holding on

Gimme that strange relationship

One of us gotta let go of this

I keep pushing and you keep holding on

I'm already gone

My friend has an Imaginary Girlfriend

When will you start to have doubt if your friend is really in a relationship?

• When he tries to think that he is always more superior than you in every way
• When he tells you that his girlfriend doesn't know that he is away for 3 weeks in another country
• When he has a picture of his girlfriend in his mobile phone that is 6 years old
• When the picture (in the mobile) is in tiled format, and it is so small that you cant even see her face clearly
• When that is the only picture he has of her
• When he tells you that they are in a relationship for 2 years and he doesnt know her full name
• When he tells you that he hasn't met/known her parents and she hasnt met/known his, after 2 years
• When he seldom contacts her, or she contacting him
• When she is living in another country and he never makes the effort to go and see her.
• When EVERYTHING IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!

All this happened to me yesterday when I met up with my ex-classmate who is taking a break here in Brunei, after working overseas for a number of years. To be polite, I didnt tell him about my doubts in person. And to be impolite, here it is in my blog....hahahaha


All this actually reminds me of the Comic "Calvin and Hobbes".
Calvin and Hobbes is a comic strip written and illustrated by Bill Watterson, following the humorous antics of Calvin, an imaginative six-year old boy, and Hobbes, his energetic and sardonic—albeit stuffed—tiger. (Wikipedia)

Everything. Everyone. Everywhere. Ends.

SPOILER WARNING!!! (Six Feet Under)

Finally, I finished watching “Six Feet Under” the Season…nope… Series Finale. The story finally ends after 5 seasons.

Here is an introduction from wikipedia, for people who havent got a clue what this drama series is all about.

"Six Feet Under is an American television drama created by Alan Ball that was originally broadcast from 2001 to 2005. The series centers on Fisher & Sons Funeral Home, a family-run mortuary, and explores the lives of the Fisher family following the death of the family patriarch. It is set in modern-day Los Angeles."

I got a hint that from a friend and the title that everyone dies….So, I thought there might be a massacre or something and quite nervous during the dinner gathering scene towards the end, especially when there were children and babies in that scene…I was thinking maybe some psycho walked into them and did the unimaginable, like in some horror movies.
Apparently it was not how I imagined. Phew… The ending was more like the ending of the Titanic….no no…they were not sailing on a cruise ship. It was a bit like the last scene of Titanic, when the elderly Rose was lying in her bed and there were all the framed photos from her past. Quite moving indeed…lol...

Poems

I just love (poems). I just love (love poems)...hahaha. How you want to interpret poems is by each individual and his/her feelings or mood at the moment. If you are happy, a sad poem just doesnt make sense. If you are not in love, a love poem sounds silly. It goes on and on and on and on ...............................

This is a poem by Jewel, yes the singer.

Saved from Myself

How often I've cried out

in silent tongue

to be saved

from myself

in the middle of the night

too afraid to move

horrified the answer

may be beyond the

capability of my

own two hands

so small

(no one should feel this alone)

Sticky & Sweet in Paris

2 months ago, I bought my ticket to Dubai for this coming September holiday. I managed to book online from RBA at only B$814, normally B$1200+, making a huge saving. Actually I have been to Dubai before, and I just want to go to other countries in the Middle East from there and also visit David and his family (not the AI, but my ex-colleague from SMSO) in Dubai. I was deciding between Iran, Egypt, Jordan and Syria. Travelling around Ramadhan also worries me a bit, as the transport and opening hours will be different from other times. So I finally decide - EGYPT! due to its pyramids and ancient civilisation.

Then I got an email news telling me that Madonna is having a tour. I told myself last year that if I cant decide where to go, I will go to anywhere in the world just to go to her concert. One of my friends has been to her concert and told me it was one of his best life experiences. Is he telling me the truth or he is just some kind of weird fellow that hasn't got a LIFE? hahahaha So I just have to find it out myself. But I am sure that it will be a great experience as the concert will be more like a party. What controversial things she will be doing at the concert this time.

Checking through her tour dates and only the Paris date concides with the school holiday on 20 September. So what to do now? Just book another return ticket from Dubai to Paris.

Getting Madonna's ticket was not that easy. Something to do with the pre-sale or actual sale dates. If I am a fan member, I could buy the ticket (Pre-sale) before the official sale dates, in which I am not. So, I could only buy it on 16 May 2008 at 5pm (Brunei time). I logged on at 5.30pm and was put in the queue system. Silly me, I didnt change the web language to English and was struggling with my poor understanding of French. I waited for about 10-15 minutes on that queue system and managed to get one of the cheapest seats. The more expensive seats were all sold out (within half an hour of the official sale date...wow!) So, now I am waiting for the ticket to be sent by registered post. Hope it dont get lost in the post as the ticket with delivery costs €90+.

So, just waiting waiting before I make the flight booking from Dubai.....

To be more than a name, or a face in the crowd.

I’ve been waiting for my dreams
To turn into something
I could believe in
And looking for that
Magic rainbow
On the horizon
I couldn’t see it
Until I let go
Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn
Now I’m coming alive
Body and soul
And feelin’ my world start to turn


And I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life

Holding onto things that vanished
Into the air
Left me in pieces
But now I’m rising from the ashes
Finding my wings
And all that I needed
Was there all along
Within my reach
As close as the beat of my heart

So I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life

And I’m out on the edge of forever
Ready to run
I’m keeping my feet on the ground
My arms open wide
My face to the sun

I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
This is the time
This is the time of my life.
This is the time of my life.

Dedication to Surprise-Spoilers

David Cook - American Idol 2008

David Archuleta - Runner Up

I HATE surprises. Some insensitive people just love to spoil it. They always think they have the DUTY to inform people first hand. No matter what I don't appreciate their kindness. What's the point of going to a movie when someone has already informed you the surprise ending. I have friends telling me the endings of movies, such as "The Others", "The Perfect Storm". Thanks guys, but no thanks. I was so p****ed off!

The American Idol (AI) season finale was on last Thursday. Before I watched the finale on TV, I took several steps to avoid people ANNOUNCING the results to me.

• I ex-communicated with few friends (for the duration of AI shows) who love to spoil surprises
• I didnt listen to radio the whole day
• I didnt log onto the internet, should I ACCIDENTLY read the latest news
• I read my sms messages cautiously.

I was really surprised with the result. I thought Archuleta would win. His performance on the final show was almost flawless. I got chilled (sounds like Paula) when I heard him sing "Don't let the sun go down on me", "In this moment" and "Imagine". Maybe I have soft spot for slow ballads.

I am not really a fan of Cook but I do agree that he has a excellent vocal, and how his hairstyle changed, though it was not as dramatic as Sanjaya. In the end, I didnt care which David would win. It is still better than Taylor Hicks defeated Katherine McPhee 2 years ago.

I just love when the little David sang "Heaven" and "Apologise" (with a "z" in US). and Cook's winning song "The time of My Life". Frankly speaking I watched the season finale more than once because of these 3 songs.

The New Beginning, Is it?

This is my first entry to this blog, or is it not?I have written some blogs a few years back, then I stopped after a month. The excuse is that I just didn't have time, or I didn't want people to know about me publicly. The older blogs are either uninteresting or outdated. Before I deleted those, I actually printed them out - nostalgic I guess.So why blogging again? I guess this is the IN thing now - try to keep up with the time. Or maybe this is just another 1-month duration blogging as my previous ones.This time I am gonna talk about my travels, or just anything about what I feel.No politics, No religion...and most importantly ...NO SEX!
