Unfortunately,

February 9, 2009

single girls such as, regrettably, myself, are much more inclined to wishful thinking, such as

1. This VDay, HK will not be a mass dome of smog.

2. Subsequently of 1., HK will improve its usual perfume of pollution.

3. Another cause for 2. is the massive willingness of men to buy flowers on VDay. And I mean enormous bouquets, not like, one flower.

4. Said flowers will be preserved for eternity and will not die the very next day awwwww.

5. People will not kill themselves because they got dumped

6. People will not kill their ex-girlfriends because “if I can’t have her no one else can!” (You have no idea how many pathetic desperate jerks there are in this cute, harmless little city of ours)

7. Love letters will not upset stomachs

8. Love letters will not fall on wrong hands (although this is actually a good thing for those of us who like to laugh at the unfortunately love stricken ones; aka masochists)

9. Burning old love letters as a elaborate celebration will not attract concerned neighbours mistaking the bonfire as a method to conjure the devil, or the investigative police suspecting arson.

10. People who are hideously underprivileged in terms of beauty and/or brains will still be loved by the ones they love.

But oh, the real world is cruel baby, and people who fall under 10. must indeed suffer. Believe me, I know. Flowers must die, ex lovers must be killed, and HK is destined to smell like a combination of sewage and CO2, amongst other things too explicit to be typed.

Nevertheless, just for the sake of doing something on VDay apart from being utterly lonesome, here’s something for those who are in love, unfortunately in love, out of love, or in a fulfillment of all three.

There are two things

December 9, 2008

in life that I will always love: the rain, and the colour red. And since I am also, contrary to popular belief, an actual female being, I also love shoes.

Therefore, imagine my thrill upon seeing this in Central (HK’s CBD):

(Linked to Kansas Project OnPeddar page)

I’ve actually came across a report of this project around a year ago, but didn’t think it would actually come true, let alone come to Hong Kong. THESE SHOES ARE REAL. They sparkle and shine (and the Marni ones even sing, not kidding), the glorious shades of crimson, and are closely protected by a neurotic guard who glared at me while I sneaked a photograph.

The Wizard of Oz, possibly one of the greatest movies ever made (but definitely under Casablanca, sorry Judy). Now, personally I am deeply appreciative of the movie, since I did play a munchkin in a school production when I was younger (my prouder moment in life, yes). These shoes are also supposed to raise money for the Cancer Fund. So, philanthropists, what better way to spend large quantities of cash!

Somewhere Over The Rainbow – Judy Garland

On your shoulder, I find refuge

Misty – Sarah Vaughan

This Masquerade – The Carpenters

With my lungs full of germs, my tear glands overflowing with malfunctioning hormones, my general personality full of disorder, confusion and overall loathability, you’re still bloody there.

You deserve more. Stop swimming in denial and move on from people a whole foot shorter than you are. I promise I won’t plan your wedding even if he’s really hot.

The Wake Up Song – The Submarines

As usual, don’t pay any notice to the lyrics! I’m only linking to this song because it’s got a nice melody. Nothing to do with the lyrics, at all! Aboslutely not.

Just when I suspect

October 3, 2008

my gradual loss in preference for jazz has slowly begun to seep in, Ray Charles and Judy Garland happened.
