dark and backward abysm of time

"What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time?"....... "To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing"

Name:

"where there is love, nothing is too much trouble and there is always time"

The point of no return

I did IT.
i went and watched 'the phantom of the opera-the movie' and i went all by myself too...
context : its quite an achievenment coz i'm THE non-beleiver of watching movies or shopping or doing any such activity alone...the mouldy one used to do tht kinda thing..and once upon a time..when i was young and stupid and naiive and idealistic..not too long ago :S - i always told her it was sad and pathetic and id rather sit home and read a good book if i wanted to enjoy my own company, as opposed to watching a movie alone...but in retrospect i think its coz i never had the grit or guts to go alone..coz i know it takes something more to enjoy ur own company...something special..and lately i think i've been discovering that..watching the movie alone today was an experience..it gave me a sense of adventure and independance and tho it sounds sad and mock heroic...i'm glad i did it..and the mouldy one said she's proud of me and so did msgee..and these are 2 of the most individualistic and gung ho women i know..so tht settles it. no regrets whatsoever. I think im in fine company.
The movie needless to say was FANTABULOUS..it was awesome...and pure magic..attention : my dear tuna-munching chicken craving 'veggitarian' yogajunkie linguist - WATCH this movie..even if u have to steal ur sister's last 7 bux (actually better not lah, bad idea coz i want her to watch it too)...so try mr bs's last 7 bux... coz this show is worth selling ur kidneys fr!
CK : if its still showing in london, pls do watch it even if u have watched the play, and especially so if u liked it.the music needs no further recommendation...awesome and overwhelming....excellent screenplay..very well taken...and hey u might be inspired to direct a musical version of 'antha oru veedu'..complete with soundtrack which includes croaking..hehh..
Christine is soooooooooo lovely!!!!!!!!!!!!strangely enuff she reminds me of how manisha looked in '1942 a love story'.. and others who saw her agreed too!shes beautiful..and the phantom...words fail me...
siigghhh.damn....i think im in love with a phantom frm the 19th century! woo hoo! :S

.........Listen to the music of the night...............

Song of the moment : learn to be lonely
OST : phantom the movie

Child of the wilderness Born into emptiness
Learn to be lonely Learn to find your way in darkness
Who will be there for you Comfort and care for you
Learn to be lonely Learn to be your one companion
Ever dreamed out in the world There are arms to hold you?
You've always known Your heart was on its own
So laugh in your loneliness
Child of the wilderness Learn to be lonely
Learn how to love life that is lived alone
Learn to be lonely
Life can be lived
Life can be loved
Alone.

Dear Epiphobic
The Gung-Ho People's League would like to extend an invitation to you to join our club. You have proven yourself worthy of such an accolade by doing the most difficult initiation activity we have.
Welcome to our club.
Your next activity will be to go mountian-trekking with the Science Club in NUS without anyone you know. Members of the Science Club will proceed to speak in a language you do not understand. We will have a spy in the team to assess how you react. Should you pass, you will be admitted into our league's Hall of Fame.
Yours-in-Isolation
Ms Gung Ho

i have to admit, i am not that much of romantic when romanticism as a whole is divorced from the tamil movie context. have you met a greater mama? thought so. i really wouldnt mind watching it but it will probably have to wait till june when my sister comes over!

i rather watch the Queen musical actually! haah...

and ya, congratulations on being active again!

Hooya!
It's weird being referred to as a 'woman'. hehe.
But yea.. Proud of ya! It does feel a bit weird doing these kinda things by yerself.. but u experience different things doing that.
Dunno about me being gung-ho though..still takes a lot for me to get out of my comfort zone.. but we're getting there.. both of us at our own pace.
Love ya!

just dropped in to see if the thoughts percolating inside were ready to see the world. apparently not. well, dun worry, I'm sure they'd be worth the wait. Anyway, it's nice thinking of the thoughts growing and developing on their own, at their own pace. Really like an act of Creation.
was nice bumping into you today. see yu on friday?
