:: The Adorable Cookie Monster ::

Someone from a neighboring country sent me a message today.. saying that i express myself pretty well and anybody can relate to how i feel at that particular moment.

If you’re reading.. Salamat!

I had a fantastic day today. Unproductive work-wise but fulfilling all the same. My day was priceless.

My stomach churns at the idea of weird food. *urgh* heck, i don’t even eat paru (fried cow lungs), limpa (liver) or chicken gizzards (hati).. gulai tunjang (beef tendons in mild spiced curry) …or any spare parts for that matter!.. I don’t even eat fried puyuh, duck or mutton curry, k.. yes, i know.. i’m boring (so i’ve been told) i am adventurous.. just not when it comes to the stuff I eat. All the more reasons why I shouldn’t have a Kelantanese or half-Kelantanese partner as Kelantanese are well-known for utilising the spare parts into all sorts of food. The funny thing is, out of both relationships I was in.. both of them were half-Kelantanese… ha ha ha… *roll eyes*

Which brings me to this.. I watched the Amazing Race Asia tonight.. they had to eat 8 balut eggs?! Duck embryo with feathers popping out and the crunchy beak? *shivers* I would have done it but probably my stomach wouldn’t have survived it. I swear it wouldn’t!! but I found one incident entertaining.. (i think it was Edwin & Monica) in the cab, the guy was expressing how he had eaten 5 balut eggs and his gf looked at him and said, "Why did you eat 5?!! I ate 4." the guy’s face was unable to draw up an expression.. hahaha… it was fucking priceless.

Ended my night with my all-time favorite movie, Gladiator.. it was shown for the millionth time.. and i’ve watched it for the millionth time as well.. I think I may have quoted the movie in one of my past blogs.. it’s okay.. for Gladiator.. I’d gladly quote you again..

Commodus: What is your name, gladiator?

Maximus: Gladiator.

[Maximus turns away..]

Commodus: How dare you turn your back to me.. Tell me your name!

[Maximus slowly turns and removes his helmet...]

Maximus: My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius.. Commander of the Armies of the North.. General of the Felix Legions.. loyal servant to the true emperor.. Marcus Aurelius.. father to a murdered son.. husband to a murdered wife… and I will have my vengeance.. in this life or the next…

oh, here’s another few favorites of mine..

Maximus: I once knew a man who said "Death smiles at us all.. All a man can do is smile back."

Commodus: I wonder.. did your friend smile at his own death?

Maximus: You must know.. He was your father.

[Maximus looks at images of his wife and son..]

Juba: Can they hear you?

Maximus: Who?

Juba: Your family.. In the afterlife.

Maximus: Oh yes.

Juba: What do you say to them?

Maximus: To my son.. I tell him I will see him again soon.. To keep his heels down while riding his horse.. To my wife… that is not your business.

Lucilla: My brother hates all the world and you most of all.

Maximus: Because your father chose me.

Lucilla: No..because my father loved you…and because I loved you.

Speaking of love.. love hurts when you’re together, love hurts when you’re apart. It’s hard living a life where you have to live day-to-day and things are a big mystery.. the surprises life has to offer can be overwhelming and heartbreaking. i don’t know why i’m holding on to someone who’s unavailable.. maybe it’s because deep down i hope for things to change.. maybe i’m just too optimistic and full of faith that one day, things will be different. or maybe i’m just foolish?
