Saturday, March 25, 2006 Brokeback Mountain>believe it or not, tis movie is like english literature to me... back in sch when i did eng lit we had to analyse the characters and the development of the plot... one of the bks we had to do was shakespeare's macbeth.. eng lit wasnt one of the easiest subject to do but it lets u learn the complexities of human characters... and brokeback mountain had the same effect on me.... i tink GP (general paper = english equivalent subject in junior college) and HRM (human resource management) are comin back to me now also hahaha.. where i luved to choose topics on society and humans and emotions to write on....
men are regarded as the epitome of masculinity.. fr caveman age all the way till now... men r supposed to be breadwinners... they r supposed to be brave and not shed a tear and not show any form of weakness... but in this show masculinity is questioned.... muz guys not have any emotional outbursts? muz always be strong and silent? in this show, cowboys are regarded as the ultimate male symbol in america.... so all the more they hv to suppress their innermost emotions...
jack is the dreamer in the show.. he is not really good at anything... he can't ride, he can't shoot, and he can't cook.... but he is open wif his feelings and constantly shows concern for pple.... he meets ennis who has lost his family since young... tho he had siblings to take care of him he din really hv anyone to shower much care for him when he grew up... and then comes this time when they had to eke out a living by carryin out a task... they can oni depend on each other up on the mountain wif nth but sheep to protect and coyotes to blast.... but when jack being the carer shows an interest in ennis's life ennis begins to warm up to jack... and then all hell breaks loose when they got drunk one nite... as again it was weird if they were to share a tent to slp in... so ennis chose to sleep outside in the cold... jack being the caring guy asked ennis to get his butt in the tent... it was nth more than a caring gesture... but then when they snuggled up real close in the tent... it was then jack felt ennis's warm and hard body against his.. and then grab ennis's hand over his own body... ennis recoils at first and tot tis wasnt right at all...but then still gives in due to his own feelings being suppressed for a long time... it was the unconscious buildup of the relationship prior to this scene tat they realized tat this was wat lies in them for the rest of their lives..
ennis tells jack the next day tat this cannot be carried on.. cos he noes its wrong esp in the age of the sixties where homosexuality was condemned... but then again he couldnt suppress his emotions and went back to jack again the second nite.. there was alot of struggle when he approached jack.. but jack as always the carer reassures him tat its alright... its alright to release ur emotions and open up... and as they say the rest is history up on the mountain... but when their job was prematurely ended, ennis was ironically the one who couldnt let go of it.. imagine he being the one who keeps suppressing his emotions and he could oni let it out when alone or when no one's looking...
4 yrs go by and both guys built their own families... juz like hw society shd be... u grow up, get a decent job, marry and hv kids like everyone else..... but somewhere in the back of their minds, they still hv the memories of brokeback and of each other.... ennis marries an ordinary gal and leads an ordinary life wif 2 wailing baby gals... jack marries a spunky rodeo gal who's the oni heiress of a family biz in texas... but somehw jack managed to find ennis and u noe wat? even tho ennis is a full fledged family man nw he was real thrilled when he received jack's postcard sayin tat he will come visit him... on the day of the reunion, ennis puts on his sunday best and u can see hw nervous he was as he keeps lookin out the window to see if jack has arrived... juz like a young gal waitin for her new date to come pick her up... and when jack's truck pulls in ennis runs out like mad to the door and receives jack wif a BIG bear hug... and then all 4yrs of suppressed emotions were released when ennis pulls jack into a hidden corner of the house where he kisses jack like theres no tomorrow...
but then ennis's wife alma discovers the scene w/o them knowing and as hw we wd all normally react: damn shocked.... ennis then came into the house to intro jack to alma.. u can see hw flushed and excited both of the boys were after tat long overdue kiss.... and then they continued tis affair for the yrs to come.. citing fishing as their common hobby whenever they go away to cover their tracks... but as alma noes veri well.. the fishing rods tat ennis brought were always dry and the pails were empty since ennis claimed tat he ate up all the many fishes he got...
well u may be tinkin why dun they just run off and lead a life of their own?? well in the first place, its nt possible in tat time and age when u oni hv 2 men living all alone in an isolated cabin or ranch up on the mountain.. and second they hv their responsibilities... well tats wat ennis thinks... he cant simply forsake his family... he is the man and he has to provide for them... and esp since he grew up without a complete family all the more he wans to hv a family of his own... he cant possibly do tat wif jack... hw to hv a complete family like tat???? jack's the complete opposite tho.. as i said he's the dreamer.. willing to give up everythin to hv a life wif ennis... ennis tells him its impossible... the way tat homos are condemned and society wd nvr condone such acts.... jack is devastated.. he has all these great ideas to run a ranch wif ennis for the rest of their lives but ennis keeps pushin it away... jack is the giver, the one tats willing to sacrifice everything for his one true love...
i tink the scene tat probably touches one most is the rejection scene... when someone drives over 14hrs to come meet u after hearin tat u got divorced wif ur wife... but then u had to take care of ur children over the wkend hw could u possibly still hv a rendezvous wif him when ur kids need u? jack couldnt take the rejection and cries and even crosses over to mexico to look for temporary relief... someone who can gif him wat he needs for 1 nite... wat he always wanted all his life but could nvr hv it all the time.... jack has always been the giver.... but the oni time when he needs ennis the door was slammed hard on his face.... i guess tis probably relates to alot pple... when u need someone in ur life for juz a moment he was nt there 4 u...
well jack being the one true to his own feelings had a hard time dealin wif his luv for ennis and maintainin his usual manly role in society... the show took an easy way out for the both of them... haha nt tellin u the ending.. go figure.... all throughout the show jack showed his luv for ennis by stating he wanted to share a life wif him.. but ennis on the other hand couldnt.. but it was in the end tat ennis finally realized his one true luv.. the one he had always pushed away....its's always been ennis's reluctance tat constrained the r/s... but then it was too late.. to tell the person tat u luv tat u luved him....
haha sori for revealin almost the whole plot... but all the emotions in the show were unbelievable.... go catch the show if u still can or wait for the dvd... i noe most guys will cringe and cant really understand it or even appreciate as much as we gals do cos all they tink abt the show is tat its a gay movie... (but there were more straight sex scenes than gay sex scenes hahaha) but if u managed to read in bet the lines like i did (perhaps i am a 手心细腻的人吧 which means i am ultra sensitive)... the movie could really show a thing or two abt wat we experience in real life... the unbalance in the r/s we hv... our parents caring and sacrificing all they hv juz to raise us up but as kids, we hv no idea wat tat means to us.. until one day u realize it whenu r a parent urself.... in luv as well... when someone luvs u more than u luv him... or u dun luv tat person as much as u tink u do but then its too late...
haha its my first R21 show since my 4yrs into my adult life (surprisingly the tix man din check my IC but then again i guess i shdnt be surprised =p) but it has made a deep impression on me.... props up to the author of the book and to Ang Lee for filmin this show... haha khun joy... guess u wd be overly thrilled to read tis post of mine ;) hope there r more of this kinda films to come...

Wednesday, March 22, 2006 Dreams...>hmm its been strange i hv been havin dreams of goin back to sch.... nt oni recently but probably sometime after i started wkrg ba... and its nt necessary exact images of nus or ij tho it felt like it... some were even dreams of me remindin myself to study for exams hahhahaha.... i went to search wat it meant online:
If you dream of being back to school as an adult, pay more attention to your past and things from your childhood. Dreaming of school also could carry a message that life wants to teach you a lesson. On the other hand, the school dream may reflect tension and pressures in your waking life. wah does tat mean i am subconsciously STRESSED??!! hmm actually recently read a novel involving dream interpreters using their level five lucid dreams to analyse and solve crimes.. Lucid dreaming is the ability to realize you are dreaming during a dream and to have control over what happened during it... haha i myself did realize sometimes i was dreaming durin a dream but din really hv control over wat happened... so prob goin crazy now over tis hahahaa.... more details on lucid dreaming here: http://library.thinkquest.org/11189/nflucid.htm
Taken from a website (http://www.paulvereshack.com/helpme/ppp/chapt15.html), explaining tat dreams come in five levels. These different levels are the body level, subconscious level, level of consciousness, level of superconscious, and the level of the soul:
Freud correctly saw, I think, that the dream is usually constructed from things which have passed through our mind in the previous forty-eight hours. He felt that these thoughts and images were not yet solidified into our mental structure, and hence could be used as relatively free floating "bricks" with which to build the "house" of the dream.
- Thus on level one, we have images of things and situations that are familiar to us, such as an old girl friend or anything else that we already know. In this sense, the dream image is "specific" to our lives.
- On level two, the image stands for a psychological truth that we are struggling with in the moment. For example, my girl friend appears in the dream. Let us say that she is an aggressive woman, and in some way frightens me. On this level, she stands for women in general and the fear I have always felt for them. The image has a generic function.
- On level three, the figure of my girl-friend resonates with my frightening mother. In the sense that any woman could have been used by the dream as a significant image to resonate with the past, again the image is generic or general to my life themes.
Perhaps we should include at level three the fact that other trauma may still lurk "under" this issue. My birth might have been frightening and in fact might have determined a process of fear in me even before my mother started to be scary. Thus, we could say that a dream image stands for multiple psychological determinants. It is therefore psychologically generic or general in the sense that it represents the causal factors in many of my life's overall themes. - On level four things get even more general. It is a fact of biological life, that we are physically and emotionally at risk. Human and indeed all animal life are vulnerable. Thus the dream image of the woman who is aggressive, comes to stand for my/our human vulnerability to hurt and to death.
Any threatening image, therefore, has the exceedingly generic property of representing that which is common to all of us, in this case fear of our ultimate destruction. - On level five we are dealing with "meta" psychological issues ie, that which is spiritual or "above" psychology. The female in the dream might be ultimately raising issues of our orientation to the more universal issue of death and mortality. It might be raising the issue of God and calling into question our whole relationship to being and non being. Once again the image is generic.
interesting huh?? i tot so too =p wah yest when i went down fr office to get lunch i saw a dead pigeon next to the rubbish bin at our main entrance.. guess wats the first thing tat came to my mind?? hahahah it aint bird flu but so pooor thing!! reminded me of my dead hammies sobsob... its back was faced to me so i din c its face... dun tink i wd hv slept well if the image kept recurring in my head... hee finally sold off my US amex gift card to my boss's fren who's also american.. i tink she also sold off hers to him... hee happy now... it sort of covered the cost of the dvd-rw i bought recently hehehee.... # posted by MinGMinG | 2:04 PM

可是亲爱的你怎么不在我身边 我们有多少时间能浪费 电话再甜美传真再安慰 也不足以应付不能拥抱你的遥远
我的亲爱的你怎么不在我身边 一个人过一天像过一年 海的那一边乌云一整片 我很想为了你快乐一点 可是亲爱的你怎么不在身边 # posted by MinGMinG | 10:22 PM

Tuesday, March 07, 2006 The Dormitory Boys> haha i cant get enough of these 2 Dormitory Boys (as they call themselves)!! i first saw them "perform" 不得不爱 in a video clip sent to me and it was so damn hilarious wif all their antics and funny faces hahahahahha... i chanced upon their blog today and found more videos, mostly performin Backstreet Boys songs.. of cos nt as 'pro' and entertaining as 不得不爱 but still as cute... but as someone so rightfully puts it and calls them:
Asian Backstreet Boys
Two Chinese boys made a spoof music video of Backstreet Boys' song "As Long As You Love Me". Frankly these two boys are quite talented. Not only two of them have performed a song that usually required five white boys with ear pieces, their soundtrack did not skip like Milli Vanilli's during 1990 Grammy Awards. lol.. gosh.. if oni last time there were webcams in uni hahahahhahahaha.... since alice was then stayin in hostel maybe joy alice and me could perform in music video clips wif our blog name being threesiaocharbos.blogspot.com hahahahahahahahhaha.... oh no i smell big black smoke comin fr somewhere between amk and serangoon hahahahahhahaha.....
Life is short, make fools of yourselves while you can!
ALWAYS YOU AND I (98 Degrees) Oh, oh, girl It’s so hard to say How a love could end this way The one that used to care for you Just turns and walks away And it’s so hard to find To leave the pain behind When all the things you’re looking for Your heart can’t seem to find
Chorus I’ll be the air that you breathe I’ll give the strength that you need I’ll be the light in your eyes When hope becomes hard to see I’ll be your shining star To guide you wherever you are And I promise that I’ll be by your side Always you and I
No, you’re not alone Without a love to call your own ‘Cause I’ll always be right there for you To help you carry on A heart that’s always true Girl, I’m giving mine to you And everything you’ll ever need I promise I will do
Repeat Chorus
Girl, you know I’ll stay beside you I will be right there for you With a hand to hold A heart to see you through ‘Cause each and every night I will make you right When life feels so wrong ‘Cause in my arms is where you belong
Repeat Chorus (2X)
Oh, oh, girl oh wo wo, always you and I

Friday, March 03, 2006 My first commission>wow i hv made my first sale on my job!! cos we can get commissions whenever we get clients to subscribe to our services... well actually i din really put much effort into the persuasion part... all i did was go to a seminar last yr and approached pple and intro my co and our services to them... and surprisingly i met wif the GM of the sg rep office of a middle east oil co known as Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC).. and he expressed great interest in our services as they often need to refer to fuel specs whenever they need to trade wif other countries... so i followed up and they said tt oni the HQ in Dubai can decide whether they will be able to join our services so i asked my colleague based in the mid east to discuss and negotiate prices with the QA manager over there... altho the price was cut down to almost half of our 2006 membership price but the deal still went thru! cool huh? =p if i am nt wrong i get abt 10% of the sale price negotiated so tats slightly more than a mth's salary! hahahhaa....
hmm u may be thinkin hey y dun i go get more sales like this and i will earn like siao?? hahahhaa well in the first pl its ez to approach pple but they may nt be the RIGHT pple... even after u get to the RIGHT pple they may not be the top management who makes the decision to pay for the services... and all the price negotiations are a big headache hahahahhaaa.... tts y i told my boss fr the start i am nt a sales person... so tis one was kinda heng heng since my colleague fr the mid east office needs to meet her target of gettin more cos from her region to sign on to our services.... so its sort of a win-win situation even tho she dun get the commission hehe.... hmm tho gettin sales is not my main duty tis kinda slightly spurs me on to approach pple next time altho i am still quite apprehensive approachin total strangers hahahahaa.... but dun tink will be so heng to hit jackpot again so soon ba....
alleluia!! finally i get the go-ahead to clean my back wif soap liao hehe.. went for my 2nd patch test reading today... doc told me in detail which ingredients i am allergic to for example lavender, geraniu, narcissus, bulgarian rose oil etc.. so if u wanna get fragrances for me dun get any wif those ingredients hor =p
wah today kana locked out again... i tried using the key to open the door manually and it din wrk.. so went for breakfast after informin my boss who is in HK who told the agent to come down to open the door... when the agent reached and opened the door she kinda raised her voice at me tat i din noe hw to open the door! erm ya true la i shd hv tried harder to open the door wif my key and nt make her come all the way to open the door 4 me but her attitude kana shitty leh... haha she was sayin tat i "complained" abt her to my boss.. and asked me to explain to my boss manz... wah ok ya i did tat and my boss was tellin me not to worry abt her and said thank heavens we r leavin the place soon hahahahahhaa guess she cant wait more than anyone else to leave the place ba...

我已经 已经把我伤口化作玫瑰 我的泪水 已经变成雨水早已轮回 我已经 已经把对白流成了永远 忘了天色 究竟是黑是灰
分手伤了谁 谁把他变味 我的眼泪写成了诗已无所谓 让你再回味 自古罪人仍自罪 因为回忆总是美 (你的品位总是美)
我已经 已经把绝情变成了恭维 品位不配 一种不能自卑说声失陪 我已经 已经把沉默变成了忏悔 无路可退 只能无言已对 # posted by MinGMinG | 11:11 AM
