The Color Purple

I think i have a thing for Indonesians. I really do.

Ungu Violet isn't all that great. Yes it had some 'moving' moments, upon which my 'date' (lol) cried. Ur such a pansy gaylord.

What it did have was a very heartwarming lead character; Kalin played by Dian Sastro. Hands down the sweetest girl to grace god's green earth. At least she was sweet in the movie.

Anyways, I came out of that movie absolutely smitten with their language and the way in which they speak it.

I decided to give a call to an old friend who lives in Jakarta (you know who you are.)

She said she's coming down for a visit soon, and asked me if I wanted anything from Indonesia. I told her that I wanted Dian.

She laughed and said that I can't have Dian, but i could have her instead.

"I'm prettier than Dian okay," she said.

Yes dear, you are prettier than Dian, but until you get to KL, you're just as far away and just as impossible to reach.

So, to my friend who's coming down soon, I can't wait to see you again. We have years of stories to catch up on.

Do bring Dian along too if you can.

Hee.

Or i'll follow you back to Jakarta for the weekend and you can show me that 'fish tank' of yours. Haha...best Seaworld in Asia yeah? :P

Here's a picture of Dian for those hormonally charged boys among us at Lete Abstrait.

You know you live in 2006 when...

1.) you accidentally enter your password on a microwave. 2.) you haven’t played solitaire with real cards in years. 3.) the reason for not staying in touch with your friends is that they don’t have msn/xanga/myspace. 4.) you’d rather look all over the house for the remote instead of just pushing the button on the tv. 6.) your evening activity is the computer. 7.) you read this list, & keep nodding and smiling. 8.) as you read this list, you think about how stupid you are to read this. 9.) and… you were too busy to notice number 5. 10.) you actually scrolled back up to check that there was a number 5. 11.) & now you’re laughing at your stupidity.

The Truth About Boys.

"It's a sick joke," said a friend as he sipped his Coke. "Why do good guys always end up getting hurt?" I tried rationalizing it, failed, then subsequently tried to generalize it. I tried to make sense of something that; try as I might, bloody well doesn't. Good guys always, always , finish last. It's the rule of the game. And we always end up on the losing side. Girls (in general) play the game well. Imagine this: You're at a bar, a girl chats you up and asks you to accompany her home. I can say with absolute confidence that she will get you to follow like a dog on a very, very short leash. Now imagine if the situation were reversed . You'd still be the dog, but dear me, where's that bloody leash gone to? Exactly. It's not a dickey dick world we live in gents. Wake up and smell the bloody tampons (no pun intended). The truth is, boys are an easy bunch to decipher. We're like apes. We only ever want one thing. Give to us what we want...
